Chapter 2308 Little Lantern
The tender hands hugging the sea fish are delicate and white, very much like Li Zi's little hands, but upon closer inspection, they find something different.
When he was confused, he shifted his gaze, followed the small hand, and looked at its owner. He was suddenly surprised: What is this?
In front of me is a girl with short brown hair, a beautiful face, and a slender body. But she is not human because her ears are like fins, and her lower body, starting from her buttocks, is actually a streamlined fish. body!
This. This is clearly a mermaid!
Oh my God, there are mermaids in Zephyr Continent!
I actually saw a mermaid with my own eyes!
Just when I was immersed in the excitement and excitement, I suddenly felt a dullness in my chest. Then I remembered that I am not a water creature and cannot absorb oxygen from the water. Moreover, the oxygen stored in my body has been almost consumed. .
In other words, if I don't ventilate immediately, I will suffocate to death.
I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, that the last picture in my life was actually a picture of a mermaid hugging a sea fish.
After holding it in to the limit, I finally spit out the last string of bubbles and fell into darkness.
In my ears, there was a faint sound, which was the rustling sound of waves washing on the beach.
Where is this?
The resting place of the dead? Or the palace of the God of Creation?
Why is there the sound of the sea?
Um. There seems to be a fishy smell from the sea?
Hmm. What? Keep slapping my cheeks? Is it Lord Angel?
Inhaling a mouthful of sea-smelling air into my lungs, I felt my lungs contracting and expanding, and I felt life returning to my body bit by bit.
Slowly opening his eyes, a slightly familiar little face came into view.
"You you are"
"Hello, human~" The girl's voice was very sweet, like a song. It reminded me of the sirens who used their songs to enchant sailors.
She hugged the struggling sea fish to her chest, smiled sweetly, and said, "My name is Little Lantern, and I am the most beautiful girl among the mermaids."
"Is it a small lantern?" I leaned on the ground and slowly sat up. I looked around. It was very familiar. It was the beach where I came.
The little lantern kept looking at me with its big, watery eyes. It seemed like he had something to say to me.
After a second of silence, I asked, "Do you have something to say to me?"
The little lantern nodded, looked down at the sea fish he was hugging tightly, and asked: "Do you still want this?"
Listening to her hesitant words and a look of reluctance, I smiled and shook my head: "No, since you caught it, it's yours."
"No, you don't want it anymore!" Xiao Lantern's face suddenly became a little stiff, and a few seconds later, pearl-sized tears trembled in her eyes: "Do you really don't want it?"
Her choked sobs were full of grievances, her tone was full of sadness, and her resentful eyes were like those of an infatuated woman abandoned by a scumbag, which made me shiver at the sight.
"Don't cry. Since you are so angry, then fine, I want this fish."
The little lantern suddenly became happy. He stretched out his hand and handed it to me, saying: "One silver coin!"
I stared blankly at the girl in front of me, speechless for a moment.
Is this considered a forced purchase and sale under the guise of emotion?
Seeing me in a daze, Little Lantern explained seriously: "This fish is your favorite, but you didn't catch it, but I caught it, so you have to pay me for my labor."
What she said was reasonable and convincing. Without saying a word, I reached into my pocket, opened my purse, and rummaged through the many gold coins. After rummaging for a long time, I couldn't find a silver coin, so I pinched out a silver coin. He handed the gold coins to her and said, "I don't have any silver coins anymore, so I'll pay with gold coins."
When she first saw the small lantern with gold coins, her eyes lit up, but when she held the gold coins in her hand, there was a look of reluctance on her face. After hesitating for a long time, she hesitated and said: "I, I don't have any change. "
"If you don't have any change, forget it." I waved my hand and said nonchalantly, "Answer me a question and you'll be treated as change."
"Okay!" Little Lantern said happily, "Just ask."
"Do you mermaids usually live in the deep sea or the shallow sea?"
"Everything is fine," said the little lantern, "Except for a few restricted areas, my people are basically spread across every corner of the sea."
"That means that the mermaid race is actually very common?"
The little lantern stopped talking, its big eyes blinked, and at the same time stretched out its slender little hands.
I understand, this is the second question, and there is another charge.
So, I took out another gold coin, put it in her hand, and said, "Can I ask a few more questions this time?"
Little Lantern smiled and nodded: "Okay."
"We mermaids, like you humans, are the most common race on this planet. However, mermaids seem to have been hurt by humans before, and it was very serious. As a result, the relationship between the two races completely collapsed. Since then, mermaids have basically stopped coming ashore, and even if they are in the sea, they will avoid fishing boats and basically ensure that they do not appear in human sight."
"Then why do you want to appear in my field of vision?"
"Because you are about to die," Little Lantern said frankly: "Little Lantern doesn't like people dying, so he decided to break the clan rules and rescue you ashore. By the way, the life-saving money hasn't been paid yet!"
She said and handed her little hand over again.
I put the money bag directly on her palm: "You can take it yourself."
The little lantern was stunned by my actions. Those big, scary and beautiful eyes showed incredible gaze.
"What's wrong?" I asked curiously.
"Aren't you afraid that I will snatch the money bag away?" Little Lantern said nervously, holding the money bag tightly.
"What's so scary about that?" I asked puzzledly: "You saved my life, even if you take it all away, I won't complain."
"Wow! You are so rich! You are the richest human being I have ever seen!" Little Lantern said excitedly: "Well, I have a request."
"you say."
"Can you?" Her cheeks were slightly red, but she hesitated to speak.
"What?"
"Can you give me your thigh?"
"Huh?" I was stunned: "What is this request?"
But since it was her request, I didn't think too much and subconsciously stretched my legs over: "Here, let's hug her."
"That's not what you mean!" Little Lantern puffed up his cheeks and became unhappy: "I mean, can we be friends?"
"Of course," I nodded: "If you don't dislike it, we are friends now."
"That's great!" Little Lantern said excitedly: "So, friend, can I have a meeting gift?"
"What? A meeting gift?" I scratched my head and moved my eyes to the money bag.
The little lantern hugged the money bag tightly and said nervously: "This is the reward for saving your life! Don't try to take advantage of it again!"
Hey, how come this little girl is as greedy for money as Barbara?
