Chapter 167 This Mermaid Is Fierce 20
Chapter 167 This Mermaid Is Fierce 20
Bai Ze has always been keeping an eye on the male and female protagonists, reporting the latest progress to her every day.
After Su Jiaojiao knew that she could live in water like a fish in the future, she began to cultivate her relationship with Quan Ling while discussing and arranging future matters with Nie Ze.
She really wasn't kidding Quan Ling. Even if she could live in the water, she couldn't stand the ferocious eating habits in the sea.
So she had to find a way to ensure that she could eat normal human food.
"Jiaojiao, you have to think clearly. Mermaids have been precious since ancient times, but there has never been any record of their nature. I am worried about you going into a den of wolves like that alone."
Although Nie Ze did not interfere with Su Jiaojiao's preparations, he still gave her earnest advice.
It would be fine to be with a fish, but why do you have to live in the sea?
During this period, Su Jiaojiao had given all the reasons she could, but Nie Ze just didn't believe that she could be safe in the water. He even dreamed in the middle of the night that she was being eaten and woke up suddenly in fright.
Even if he woke up, he still had to come to confirm that Su Jiaojiao was still alive, which made her and Quan Ling suffer from PTSD during this period. They didn't dare to get too intimate even after closing the door.
Su Jiaojiao was fed up with it, so she locked the door and went into the plus version of the fish tank she had just replaced, under the pretext of adapting to life in the sea in advance.
Quan Ling came up to her very tactfully, held her in his arms, and laid on his chest:
"Thank you for your hard work, Jiaojiao."
Su Jiaojiao snorted twice without any courtesy:
"As long as you know."
Quan Ling couldn't help but kiss her forehead, cheeks, and lips one after another.
A kiss in water is completely different from a kiss in air.
The surrounding sea water gave him an endless sense of security, and the beautiful woman in his arms was the only thing he wanted for the rest of his life.
[Ding! The target's favorability has increased by 3 percentage points, and the current favorability is 82/100! ]
"There's news over there that Fike has escaped, but neither side has caught him. Now the two sides have started fighting, and many people are implicated."
Su Jiaojiao tried hard to adapt to the feeling in the water. Although there was less ambiguity in the liquid exchange, she could still feel comfortable all over her body. After all, the water was Quan Ling's home turf.
The spring spirits had heard it long ago, but he still listened very carefully.
"We will speed up tomorrow and follow the originally planned route to the area where the mermaids are located. We will pretend to salvage gold, silver and jewelry. You go back and I will wait for you on the boat."
Although she decided to live in the sea with him, it did not mean that she had to go to great lengths to please the mermaids in order to stay in the sea.
Let him handle this matter.
Everything happened just as Su Jiaojiao had arranged. The night before leaving, Quan Ling ruthlessly cut off the most beautiful scale on her tail.
The scales lost their disguise the moment they left Quan Ling's body, returning to their true, glowing azure color.
"I heard that in your ancient legends, the most beautiful scales of a mermaid best represent his loyalty to his lover."
As he spoke, he stretched out his sharp claws, poked a small hole in the bloody scales, took out a fish tendon that he had taken from some unknown fish, threaded it through, and hung it around Su Jiaojiao's neck.
"Although I'm not a mermaid, I want to use this to put your mind at ease. I've also left a spell on this fish scale. As long as you hold it and say my name three times in a row, I can hear your voice and talk to you!"
"Is this... a cell phone in the water?"
She was originally feeling a little disgusted and wanted to throw it away, but then she paused and thought that for Quan Ling's sake, she had to endure it.
Quan Ling jumped off the deck.
Everyone on the boat who didn't know what was going on was very confused.
Even if Su Jiaojiao doesn't like this mermaid anymore, she can still sell it for a lot of money!
However, the Yu Yang incident happened during this period, and even Li Jianyuan was abandoned for secretly letting Yu Yang and his group out, so they didn't dare to step forward rashly.
I could only look at the empty sea and feel lost.
That's a huge stack of RMB...
For the next half month, Su Jiaojiao had been seriously instructing everyone to salvage the treasure that did not exist in this sea area.
At the beginning, everyone was full of hope, but as the days passed, they caught nothing but seaweed, and they could not raise any questions.
Some experienced veterans have already known from what they have fished out that there is definitely no treasure in this sea, and they also told Nie Ze about it privately, but Nie Ze dismissed them with a statement that they already had a plan.
"What on earth is Master Ba keeping in suspense?"
"It's not auspicious to keep picking up water plants."
"We have been on this ship for most of our lives, and we have never seen a single voyage where we got nothing. It is really weird."
"..."
They were just pirates, not businessmen or politicians. They only knew how to make a living and make a fortune by fishing and digging for treasure. They didn't understand any twists and turns, and they didn't think they needed to understand.
At sea, a pair of strong arms, a rock-steady lower body, and diving skills that are as comfortable as a fish in water are more useful than anything else.
Some people looked at Su Jiaojiao, who had been gradually abandoning the heavy and dark colors in her recent dress and regaining the beauty of a young girl, and they even forgot that the person in front of them was the famous Eighth Master in the world before she became a young girl.
For a moment, some people even had the idea of resisting and secretly encouraged those around them to go to Su Jiaojiao to ask for an explanation, claiming that she was young and inexperienced, and that they, the old people, could not watch everyone on the boat accompany her in making trouble.
If they had known there would be no results, why would they still waste so much time and energy here? After all, if this got out, they would be laughed at by people on the sea!
The reasons are sufficient, but the most basic facts are forgotten.
From the beginning to the end, it was they who were grateful to the successive captains for saving their lives, rather than the captains begging them to stay, and Su Jiaojiao did not need to take any responsibility for them.
Before the death of each captain, everyone on board can choose to stay or leave, depending on whether they trust the next captain.
They chose to believe in Su Jiaojiao and choose to follow Su Jiaojiao.
Sure enough, when a group of middle-aged men stood on the deck and tried to pressure Su Jiaojiao with everyone's opinions and the dead captains, Su Jiaojiao gave them a box of pearls very straightforwardly, and then gave them a ship originally used to transport supplies, which was equipped with basic self-defense weapons.
"get out."
"...Eight, Master Eight, what do you mean?"
Several young sailors who didn't know the truth and followed the old man to make trouble were so scared that their legs went limp.
"Isn't my meaning obvious enough?"
Su Jiaojiao's eyes were cold, and she looked a bit like the previous captains.
