Chapter 504 The Legend of the Mermaid Girl

Faced with the crowd that surrounded them, Tilan was not afraid. Even if she didn't ask for help from others, she could easily defeat them alone. It was just that she didn't want to be so famous and conspicuous. She stayed here to delay. After all, if they were allowed to rush into the bar, Alanna would be in trouble.

She didn't need to use swordsmanship. There were not many people who were good at using swords in Academy City. In addition, her figure and age made it easy for people to associate her with them. She didn't want to use the abilities related to the singer. If she used them, her identity as a singer would be exposed, and she wouldn't be able to follow Alanna and the others in the future.

Thinking of this, it seemed that she could only continue her previous character setting and use the abilities related to the trainer.

She lightly pressed the black giant lion beside her, and the invisible magic power emanated, causing the black lion's mane to float up, and the momentum it emanated became more and more powerful. Then she rushed forward, directly knocking away the black ghost-faced thugs who were rushing forward, and rushed towards the man wearing sunglasses.

"Hah!" The four burly black men guarding the sunglasses man raised their hands, rushed forward and swung, grabbing the black lion's mane and fur in the wild attack, and then slid back several meters on the ground, barely stopping the black lion's momentum.

After that, the four of them joined forces to punch the black lion in front of them, and the fist wind was accompanied by the projection ring formed by the extension and diffusion of the wrist guard, hitting it like a heavy anchor.

The dull collision sounded in the open space, and the four people punched one after another, and the fist wind caused pain on the faces of the people around them, and the black lion was also beaten back one after another. Even though it was a large beast of Sequence 5 known for its strength and size, it was still a bit difficult in front of four high-level Sequence 5 fighters.

This guy doesn't exercise too much, Tilan shook her head as she watched the scene.

If this black lion was trained by their Iridium Academy, its strength could at least be improved by two levels, and at least ten Sequence 5 fighters would be able to compete with it in terms of strength.

Forget it, don't count on it now. Tilan looked at the people gradually surrounding her, and stepped back lightly. Several shining purple spots appeared on the ground, and then these spots moved rapidly, passing through the soles of the people present, and soon engraved complex patterns on the ground.

If you look down from the sky, this pattern that occupies the entire open space and is about 100 meters wide is shaped like a phoenix. It is luxurious and beautiful, but also has a hint of solemnity. It is the pattern of one of the five phoenixes, the cuckoo.

"Cry——"

The long and sharp cry came from the distance in the night sky, and then several fast figures swooped through the atmosphere in the night sky and rushed straight to this open space. When they gradually approached the sky above the open space, black and purple flames ignited on their wings, and finally completely covered it, like the incarnation of the cuckoo.

Light Feather Sequence 5: Blue-eyed White Kite (Enhanced by the Secret Technique of the Cuckoo)

The black-purple firebird shaped like a meteor rushed towards the crowd. The high temperature of its wingspan made people dare not approach and could only avoid it. Many people were also blown down by the airflow brought by the dive and could not stand steadily.

"What is this?" Looking at the black-purple flamebird flying and turning in the sky, the man in sunglasses below frowned.

Such a powerful firebird does not seem to be something that an ordinary Sequence 5 Transcendent can cultivate and control. What is the origin of the other party? Moreover, with such a big momentum, even if he has connections in the police station, he may not be able to suppress it.

While he was thinking, Tilan on the opposite side saw Alana coming out of the bar and stopped fighting. He let the black lion return to its usual size, jumped on the hovercraft, and left with him.

The hovercraft started, and the powerful tail current pushed it into the night sky. Seeing this, many people from the Ghost Face Gang wanted to chase it, but were stopped by the man in sunglasses.

"That's it, let them go." Not far away, many police cars had already arrived with sirens blaring, and there were many auxiliary riot control units.

"You all disperse." He simply explained, then got on the hovercraft next to him, quickly took off, and then disappeared into the night.

The next day, the news reported what happened that night. It was said that several high-level extraordinary people in the bar had a conflict, and several fights took place during the period, but no one was injured. Regarding this loss, the owner of the bar said that he didn't care. The environment of the bar was still safe. Compared with other bars with various fights, even if some fights occurred in this bar, because of the good atmosphere, no one would be injured. This is their reputation and confidence in operating the bar.

"Huh, they really know how to do publicity." Lemon Fruit, who was sitting in front of the projection screen, turned off the news.

Now she was in the lounge of the store, and there was a woman wearing pink sunglasses sitting next to her.

"Oh, it was she who took my 'Black Prince' out to play yesterday." She was dressed coolly, crossed her legs, and held an iced wine in her hand.

"Yes, uh, Zijin is a little willful, I will criticize her later." Lemon Fruit excused her friend.

"Why should I criticize her? She is a good leader. She even took Black Prince to fight. This made me see the energetic scene of Black Prince." She put down the wine glass, then lit a lady's cigarette and took a small puff.

"My Black Prince is probably already suffocated by being trapped in the house every day. It's a good thing to let him vent and exercise." She didn't care.

"Yes, it may be a little dangerous." Lemon Fruit said with a little flattery and defense.

"Everything is dangerous, even when I go to work. If you find my body thrown down from the building of Dakshi Matrix one day, it's not surprising to say that I committed suicide." She knocked the ash.

"This, it shouldn't be, is going to work so scary?" Lemon Fruit waved her hand.

"It's hard to say." Emily shook her short hair and didn't continue to explain.

"Sometimes I envy you guys, you open a small shop that can support yourself and live an easy life."

"What's there to envy, sister Emily, I envy your annual salary of several million." Lemon Fruit stuck out her tongue.

"Money, you will be very excited when you make a lot of money for the first time, but you will feel it is common after that." Emily leaned on the sofa.

"Is Zi Jin going to work today?"

"Not today, she said she has classes today and can only come tomorrow." Lemon Fruit remembered what Tilan said to her when she came back last night.

"That's a pity, I don't know when I will be free to come to the store next time." Emily said regretfully, but there was no change in her expression, and I didn't know whether it was sincere or joking.

Golden Flame Flower Academy, break between classes.

"Tilan, you haven't been out much recently, where have you been?" Ores took advantage of the break to grab Tilan and ask her.

"Well, it's complicated. It's probably about doing something extra to earn extra money after completing the work tasks?"

"Are you still short of money? You want to earn extra money." Orles was surprised.

"I have enough money, but the process of making money itself is also an experience, just like the interaction between people and society." Tilan answered simply.

"Can you take me with you?" Orles took the initiative to apply.

"No." Hearing this, Orles made a wronged expression, coupled with her peerless appearance, even Tilan felt a little reluctant to see it.

"Okay, I don't dislike Orles, it's just that my work content is not suitable for many people, and it won't work if there are more."

"In fact, I also found some new and interesting things at work. How about I tell you after the matter is over?"

"Then you can't regret it." Orles' eyebrows stretched and raised her finger.

"Why are you suddenly like a child?" Tilan hooked Orles' little finger.

"I'm very young." From the perspective of the elves, Orles is indeed still a child, about the same age as humans, about 15 years old.

"What are you whispering about?" Blanche came over curiously.

"Nothing, I just remembered a few clothing stores I often go to recently. Does Blanche want to go with me?" Orles quickly changed the subject.

"I feel like you are teasing me, but forget it, I'm not the kind of girl who is particularly gossipy. It's just that Orles really likes Tilan. When she is with us, she talks less." Blanche complained.

While the three of them were talking, Shui Yanqing sat in the front row, not knowing what she was thinking. After class, Blanche called her and the four of them went to have lunch together.

After the incident at the hotel, Shui Yanqing and Orles basically stopped quarreling. Even if they quarreled, it was only one or two sentences at most, and they would not chase after them.

Although there were fewer conflicts, Orles also felt a lot more boring. Fortunately, Shui Yanqing's state gradually recovered. She would not be dull all the time. Occasionally, she would make some jokes and tease the other two singers.

"I'm preparing a new song." Shui Yanqing said during lunch. Her blue hair was simply tied up, revealing her slender neck. The high ponytail made her look more approachable.

"What style is it? You look so confident, it should be almost finished." The other three were curious.

"Well, it's probably gentle and lyrical, telling the love story of the ancient mermaids."

"Is Yanqing going to play a mermaid?" Blanche was curious.

"There will be a marine style dress, but not a mermaid." Shui Yanqing shook her head slightly.

"Why, shouldn't it be normal for a MV to sing like a heroine?" Blanche was puzzled.

"Generally speaking, it is, but I can't. If I play a mermaid, there will be suspicion of deliberately attracting a minority race." Shui Yanqing explained.

"I don't want anyone to say that, even if only a few people would say a few words."

"The story is about a merchant's son in ancient times who encountered a storm while sailing on the sea. His ship sank, and he was rescued by a passing mermaid in the water and sent to a deserted island."

"After that, the mermaid brought him food every day, and the two gradually developed feelings for each other as they chatted and got along."

"But soon after, the two of them had to part ways, because a ship finally passed by nearby."

"The merchant's son was reluctant, but he slowly boarded the ship under the comfort of the mermaid and his longing for his family and the outside world."

"After that, he returned to his hometown and slowly learned from his family until he had a ship that he could operate on his own."

"So he returned to that sea area again, wanting to find the mermaid." Shui Yanqing slowly stopped talking.

"And then, keep talking." Blanche couldn't help herself.

"Then, he spent a long time trying to find the mermaid who saved him, and he was already quite old."

"After that, he got married, started a family, and had his own children, just like a normal person."

"After that, he slowly got old, and one day, he felt like he couldn't hold on any longer, and when he was about to die, he asked someone to take him back to the island and put him on a small boat."

"'Let me just float on the sea and spend my last days,' he said."

"Although his family didn't want to, they didn't want to go against his wishes, so they did it."

"So everyone put down the boat, let him float on the sea alone, and then slowly watched him leave."

"In this way, he floated on the sea for three days and three nights, looking at the beautiful starry sky at night, his consciousness gradually blurred, as if he had returned to that distant afternoon in his dream, when he woke up on the beach and saw the scene of the mermaid girl. "

"So he fell asleep, and his consciousness gradually sank. Just when everything was about to enter darkness, a familiar song sounded, and the mermaid girl appeared next to his boat again."

"She swam onto the boat, sat on the bow, looked at the white-haired old man who had fallen asleep, slowly touched his eyes, kissed him, and spit out a strange snow-white pearl."

"After that, it was like going back in time. The old man's body gradually recovered, his white hair turned into black hair, and his old age turned into a teenager. After a few hours, he slowly opened his eyes again and found that he had transformed into the person he was decades ago, just like shedding his skin. At this time, he also noticed the mermaid girl next to him, who was looking at her with a smile, and his expression was still as charming as before. "

"'Did you save me?' The same words as before."

"'Yes,' the girl agreed softly, then took his hand and watched the morning sun rise slowly in the distance."

"Why don't you see me when I've been looking for you for so many years?"

"Because you still have a family and a lot of things to do. I can't stop you, otherwise you won't be happy even if you are with me."

"'I've been waiting for you for a long time, and sometimes I'm afraid you've forgotten, but luckily, you're finally here.' The mermaid girl told him."

"Then what happened to me? Why did I suddenly look like I was when I was young? It's like I went back in time? He was very surprised."

"'It's not like turning back time. No one can do such a miracle. If you still remember everything for many years now, it means you haven't completely gone back to the past, but your body has returned to its previous appearance.' The mermaid girl told him."

"At the end of the story, the two of them were sitting on a small boat, looking at the sea in the distance, sailing to a distant foreign country, where they would start a new life."

"Many years later, someone at sea recorded and sung this story as a legend, and the pearl that rejuvenated people was the treasure of the youth witch Xibai Ya."

After telling this story, Blanche was so moved that she lay in Shui Yanqing's arms and wiped her tears. Tilan and Olesi were also touched.

"What a beautiful story. It seems like I haven't heard such a fairy tale without a trace of dust in a long time."

"It's not about telling any great truths, nor is it necessarily about inspiring anything. It's just about telling a beautiful and desirable legend."
