Mermaid Throne

Chapter 99

Mermaids do not have a real country, their living area is divided into large and small sea areas, and each sea area has its own mermaid king.The Mermaid King is the ruler of the army in this sea area, but he is not the supreme ruler. Behind him, there are purebred mermaid families of various sizes.The total number of purebred mermaids does not exceed 40, so the largest family has no more than [-] mermaids, and the number of small families is only a dozen or twenty. For example, the Rong family has dominated the Western Pacific with more than [-] mermaids. , is only a special case, and most of them rely on their numbers to determine their status in the mermaid clan.

From this point of view, the mermaids, who have just recovered their history, are still in the stage of war for hegemony. Just to unify the human front, the patriarchs of the purebred mermaid families around the world and the top-level mermaids formed a council to decide. A matter of family survival.

This is the Mermaid Council mentioned by Urel Miller.

It can ignore the disappearance of a certain family, but you cannot ignore its existence.

Rong Xuan, who still did not have the strength to resist, did not choose to ignore this letter at all.He could almost see how much malice the hostile merfolk had injected into the letter.

"Hand over Tao Yiran, let him be examined, and he must not appear in front of humans again." After reading the letter, Fein subconsciously looked up to see Tao Yiran's expression.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the young man was not shocked: "Do you mean to let me go to Mermaid Island?"

"Wait, shouldn't the question be: how did they know?" Fein was puzzled.Most of the mermaids who had been exposed to Tao Yiran's mental power were strangled on the spot, and the very few who survived were also the killers of the Miller family, and it was even more impossible for humans to know about mental stress.

Before pointing the finger at Ulaer, Tao Yiran said first: "Yes, there is also Sukarno's mermaid." That time, he met a purebred mermaid. The other party should know about the mental stress, but he couldn't It would be an oversight to block them.

Rong Xuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "It's my fault, I didn't kill him before he revealed the secret."

Tao Yiran patted him on the head helplessly: "What does it have to do with you? It will be a matter of time before my identity is discovered."

"I won't let you go." Rong Xuan said coldly.

"Ah, I don't want to go either." Obviously the situation was tense, but the young man still smiled relaxedly, "Is there any consequence if I can't say it?"

"...No, but the words between the lines threatened to drive us out of the fourth city-state." Ji Yunzhi said.

"Just try," Rong Xuan sneered, "I'll save the time to find them again."

"We can't beat the number too much." Ji Yunzhi was more realistic.

"Well, it doesn't work either." The person at the center of the discussion nodded in agreement.

Suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Is there really no way?

You don't need to think about it to know the consequences of handing Tao Yiran over.The consequences of not handing over are similar, it is just a different choice between bad for one person and bad for everyone.

"Now, is your answer still impossible?" Uriel, who had been on the sidelines, finally said, with a slight sarcasm on his lips, "You who lost the Rong family are just a poor little mermaid king. None. But Miller has three allies in Congress, and even if he votes no, I have a chance to come back."

This is Game of Thrones, you can hate him, but you can't push him away.

No matter how the world changes, it is still controlled by the superiors who hold power. They can spit on each other and make the whole world chaotic.

What a fist can change is one's own life, but power can change the lives of others.

Rong Xuan closed his eyes, suppressed the boiling anger in his heart, trembling slightly holding Tao Yiran's hand.

His future was ruined by some greedy merfolk and reshaped by this human.Whether to persevere for the hatred of the past, or to work hard for the current dependence, looking at it now, it seems that the choice has become much easier.

"I……"

"Thank you." Before he agreed, Tao Yiran actually expressed his thanks first.

This stunned the mermaid who had never heard these two words for a long time.

"Ah? What are you looking at? Don't you agree?" Tao Yiran was puzzled by him.

"...Why are you thanking me?"

"Didn't you agree to form an alliance?" Tao Yiran thought of the conversation just now, and the other party didn't seem to have time to finish, so he immediately smiled awkwardly: "I thought you wanted to agree, so I just want to thank you."

Rong Xuan's anger that had been burning all day was instantly extinguished.

This human being never minds showing his imperfections.Facing his own weakness, he never minds putting down his body in order to survive, and expresses his likes and dislikes frankly, that's why he lives so wantonly.

Having been with him for so long, why has he never learned this advantage himself?

"I agree to form an alliance," he looked at Uriel, his expression no longer suppressed anger, "but what can you do to make Tao Yiran stay?"

"The only thing we can do now is to delay the time. Tao Yiran must leave before his face is completely torn apart."

Rong Xuan immediately changed his face.

"Then...what if Tao Yiran escapes? Flee to the human land..." Because of his proposal, everyone suddenly watched, and Fein suddenly became nervous, "I just think that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, even if it is dangerous , but it’s better than being taken away obediently.”

"I don't agree!" Rong Xuan ruthlessly refused almost before the other companions could speak, "Tao Yiran must not leave me!"

He's had enough!

Separate again!

Why do we have to separate again!

Why did he still have to let go after working so hard?Why did he create a country where humans and mermaids can love each other freely, only he has to endure the pain of parting again and again!

How many years will it be this time?Not to mention years, he couldn't bear it even if it was calculated by the day!

His rage startled Fein, and Uriel actually dared to add fuel to the flames: "Now you have no ability to make him retreat unscathed. After he leaves, we can suspend it for a while, and wait for the parliament to be ruled by us." After taking control..."

"Shut up!" It was as if the pain of being Ni Lin made him want to strangle the mermaid in front of him, but he was caught the moment he stretched out his hand.

"Calm down!" Tao Yiran reprimanded.

"I don't agree!" His beautiful eyes turned red, and the fish scales on his arms could be seen in anger, "I've been looking for you for four years! Your ability to hide is so good that I can't even find you... These four For many years, I was afraid of where you might die every day. None of you have experienced this kind of fear. Don’t say it so easily! This time is more dangerous than before. If I don’t stay by my side, I don’t know how to help You... I want to protect you, I worked so hard to become stronger just to protect you, if I can't even do this, what is the purpose of everything I do now?"

Tao Yiran froze for a moment, subconsciously wanted to touch his head to comfort him, but was slapped away.

"Do you think of me as that 14-year-old brat who always stands behind you? But I am an adult, I am an adult because of you, and I can stand in front of you!" Rong Xuan finally yelled out his heart. depressed.

"You dare to slap me away?" Who knew that Tao Yiran was more domineering than him, "I touched you because you are younger than me as an adult, what's wrong with me touching you? You try to slap me away again?"

"..."

"Shoot again?"

"You are not allowed to sneak away again," Rong Xuan's eyes turned red again when he recalled his feeling when he saw the empty hospital bed, "I will kill anyone who comes to snatch you..."

"What you said, you have to wait for my oath? Doesn't it count?" Tao Yiran withdrew his smile and looked at him expressionlessly.

"..." All the angry mermaids who were blocked by this sentence lowered their heads, struggled for a long time, and finally could only hug him tightly, with their heads nestled in his shoulder socket, without nodding their heads in agreement, nor refusing.

Seeing Tao Yiran's decisiveness for the first time, even Uriel was a little surprised.

"Have you thought about it long ago?" He could only think so.In his opinion, the decision to agree to leave the safest place in a few seconds cannot be a temporary decision.

But Tao Yiran is this kind of upright beast that survives entirely on intuition.

"I didn't think about it, but escaping is an easy thing for me," Tao Yiran raised his eyebrows, "Dare you say you haven't looked for me in the past four years? But have you found it?"

"..." The expression of the other mermaid who was choked by him also became ugly.

"By the way, since we have formed an alliance, you can also share with me some of the secret bases in the interior. If I need money, I will go to you."

"..."

"Hurry up, do you want to form an alliance?"

...this shameless human being!

The night after the tsunami seemed particularly quiet. The wind blew in from the window, lifted the white curtains, and the moonlight shone on the bed. It was supposed to be bedtime, but the bed was empty.

In the bathroom, a huge fish tail caused a huge splash in the water in the bathtub, removing half of the water in the bathtub in an instant.

The transparent tail fin slid between human legs, and Rong Xuan pressed against Tao Yiran's forehead, listening to his low panting to calm his overly violent heartbeat just now, and his lips gently stroked his eyebrows and eyes.

His expression was a little restless and anxious, which had been suppressed outside for too long, and finally leaked out in tenderness.

...Perhaps this mermaid has been accumulating uneasiness since they met?

Tao Yiran has been dull for so long, and finally felt his hidden emotions today.

"What exactly do you want?" The human being was confused, he felt that he had never figured out what the little mermaid was thinking.

Rong Xuan was silent all night, and was finally forced out by this sentence: "It's not what I want, it's what you want! I don't think I gave you anything, you always...you always..." His eyes were red, and he was ashamed that he had always put this person in danger, "You are so heartless about everything, I don't even know if I shouldn't bring you into my world... ...I may be wrong, I am really afraid that you will regret it! You have done so much for me, but I have given you nothing..." His emotions were close to collapse, and his frustration and uneasiness even made him, who had always been calm, become incoherent .

Tao Yiran blinked: "What did I do? Why don't I remember?"

"..." Praising him in front of this cunning human being, Rong Xuan felt that it was still difficult for him to do so.

His silence made Tao Yiran laugh: "You really don't even know what I want?"

Rong Xuan stared at him blankly, and suddenly remembered what Ji Yunzhi said.

This human being makes up for his weakness of emotional bluntness with his bestial intuition and various complicated experiences in this world.It's not that he is not as devoted as himself, but he still doesn't know how to express his love.

"...I don't know." He stared into his eyes tightly, only wanting to force the human being to say the three words he always wanted to hear.

Tao Yiran sneered, as if he had seen through his scheming, but he still straightened up, pressed the mermaid under him, and for the first time took the initiative to penetrate into his hidden pouch, viciously teasing the mermaid who often tossed himself so much The dying little guy: "You don't even know what I want, and you still come to pursue me? Still think I like you?"

"...But you still like me." For the first time, Rong Xuan had the courage to confront him on this issue.

Because the other hand of this human being is intertwining with his fingers at this moment.

He was very clumsy, with a slight uneasiness on his face that couldn't be concealed, but this human being was really using the most obvious expressions and movements he could make to express his care and affection for him.

All his uneasiness dissipated at this moment.

Suppressing the desire to turn this person over, bite and devour him, he even trembled when he spoke, just to let this human being show more, he wanted to see this human being's heartless concealment of feelings How intense it was, God knows how long he had waited for this moment.

After all, Tao Yiran is still unable to play the role of a lover qualifiedly. He lacks the courage to face love directly, and he is defeated only by being teased.In love affairs, he has always been the passive one.

Fortunately, his body language has always expressed his emotions to the fullest, so that the mermaid with a strong desire for exclusiveness has no more anxiety.

"I only want you to live. I am a human being, and you are a mermaid. Since I have chosen you, I am willing to bear all the costs. If you die, all my efforts will be in vain. So whether we lose time or lose our sense of security , as long as we survive, losing these things is nothing." Tao Yiran patted his stunned face lightly, "At any time, remember, I only want you, nothing else is meaningless, and I don't need you. .The only thing I can't fight for is your life."

The mermaid's face turned completely red.

He had never heard such a long and frank confession from a human being. Although there were no three words he longed for, it was enough to make him dizzy.He buried his head in Tao Yiran's neck, feeling the flow of blood underneath, the temperature completely different from the mermaid's and the fragrance of human flesh.

"I love you. Tao Yiran, I am willing to give you everything I have, including my life, my death, my wreckage, and my soul." He whispered in a pious tone Vows that belong only to spouses.

Tao Yiran patted his head, and only replied with one word: "Okay."

I accept everything about you, and I will spend the rest of my life cherishing and protecting what is mine.

Feeling the firmness of the other party again, Rong Xuan's eyes even turned slightly red.

……

"Am I doing well?" the mermaid who was biting his earlobe asked in a low voice.

Tao Yiran, who was sitting on his waist panting heavily, closed his eyes slightly, sweat dripped from his forehead to his collarbone, and in the steam, his outline appeared much softer than usual.

At this moment, whether he shook his head or nodded, his expression said everything.

That was Tao Yiran that no one else could see.Addicted, indulgent, unguarded.

Rong Xuan backed away slightly, looking contentedly at the young man who was completely possessed by him.

It's his, everything is his inside and out.

Tao Yiran left the fourth city-state with Zhang Yunyang's caravan that night.

His actions were very secretive, and even Ji Yunzhi only found out about his departure the next day.Rongxuan's usual performance made Fei Yin not realize that Tao Yiran was missing until the third day.

When the mermaid council asked Tao Yiran again, Rong Xuan took out the proof that Tao Yiran had canceled his slave status a week ago, saying that he had long been unable to control the actions of this human being, and the other party had left a week ago.

Due to the low status of mermaid slaves, most mermaids feel that there is no need to spend too much energy and time on them. Therefore, the status of mermaid slaves already has a declaration extension period. As long as the application is submitted within one week, the validity period is still determined by the mermaid at that time or Counting from the day the relationship is terminated.Rong Xuan took advantage of a loophole, even though it was obviously against the council.

Unable to ignore a human being who might endanger their secrets, the council sent a large number of pursuers to find his whereabouts.

The hunt on the mermaid's side began, and the human side also received a letter from Tao Yiran.

The ciphertext delivered by the Rong family was sent to the old professor in the central laboratory. After reading it, the professor didn't sleep well for two full days.

This wayward and unruly young man wanted to prove to him in a straightforward way that it is impossible for human beings to fight against mermaids by modifying their own physiological conditions.Such advice is undoubtedly provoking the beliefs of the professor for many years.

But what if the fourth city-state is really an opportunity to resolve racial hatred?

After tossing and turning, the wise old man finally made up his mind.

At this time, Tao Yiran had left the city for a month.

where is he?

Ji Yunzhi couldn't help being worried, but he never dared to ask Rong Xuan.Before Tao Yiran reappeared, this mermaid who was only in his early twenties hadn't let go of his pressure in the past few years. They watched from the sidelines with horror, fearing that one day he would be unable to bear the pressure and collapse.The existence of Tao Yiran gave the mermaid someone to rely on, but this spiritual pillar left as soon as he said it, what should the mermaid who was left behind do?

Compared to everyone's cautiousness, Rong Xuan was quite calm.

He knew that the promise given by that human would definitely be fulfilled.

I will wait for you.This is also his promise.

When all humans and mermaids were looking for this special human being, a fight in a satellite city only [-] kilometers away from the central city finally caught the attention of the hunters two days later.

A human single-handedly destroyed a local gangster organization. The leader of the gangster was hung on the highest tower in the local area, with only three words written on his naked body: library.

The local police were at a loss, so they only treated this incident as an ordinary case. However, the gang leader said that he felt a strong mental interference, and finally let the police upload it to the central system as a suspicious case.A large number of pursuers rushed to the local area, and soon confirmed that the other party was indeed Tao Yiran, but what does the word library mean?

A week later, in another city [-] kilometers away from the satellite city, a double-species mermaid was attacked. When he woke up, there were two words on his body: "Secret."

The same handwriting, the same method of committing the crime, but the mermaid quickly covered up the case, and the humans could no longer find any clues.

Library, secret.

Still no answer.

The hunting of the mermaid is even more frantic, but the other party is an experienced refugee, and he can still avoid the pursuit of the most pervasive gangsters on the human land, let alone the other party is a mermaid.

The professor was also looking for Tao Yiran, but he didn't dare to make it too public.

On the one hand, he was powerless, and on the other hand, he didn't dare to venture forward. The space left was enough for Tao Yiran to continue to leave his third message with ease.

"Pure breed." The third message was left on a mermaid who was hunting him half a month later.The mermaid was dead, and this was the only clue that Tao Yiran died. Obviously, this group of hunters had stepped on the bottom line of his tolerance.

This year's summer is hotter than usual, but the purebred mermaids who always like to live in the south still feel a bit of chill.

The purebred secret is in the library.

Tao Yiran was threatening them with a few words: If I die, all your secrets will appear in the largest central library of mankind.

There are materials accumulated by human civilization for thousands of years, and even the most advanced equipment cannot find these contents that are probably less than a thousand words in a short period of time.

Although Tao Yiran is illiterate, he still remembers how Rong Xuan used his identity card to log into the human library.Compared with Rong Xuan, it is obviously much easier for him to use a human ID card to log in to the library, and it is even easier to add content to it.

The purebred mermaids finally felt the panic.Their existence has always been a legend, and the mermaids who know about them often have absolute loyalty to them, let alone preach to humans. After all, they are the heroes who preserved the mermaid race back then.And even if they are discovered by some human beings by chance, they will not be able to know the deeper secrets, so they will always live in human legends.

Once the existence of purebred mermaids is discovered by humans, it will pose a great threat.Not to mention that the content written in it may be the secret of the mermaid, just the very small number of purebreds and Tao Yiran's possible mutation due to purebreds will put this race in jeopardy.Even the order of the mermaid society that has been established with great difficulty may be greatly impacted by this.

Now, this human being who has been living with purebred mermaids threatens them with this, and clearly gives the only way for a peaceful solution: mutual non-aggression.

Rong Xuan also suffered huge criticism.His lover took advantage of him, and now the pure breed is facing such a crisis, Rong Xuan has an inescapable responsibility.

The pressure within the race was on the young mermaid. He never flinched, and even retorted: If the purebred did not threaten his life, how could he set up such a cunning enemy?

It is the mermaid council that turns lovers into enemies.

Rong Xuan didn't care about the eyes of the outside world at all, he paid more attention to the things in his hands.

For more than a year, his rule over the fourth city-state has been unshakable.After a long confrontation, new forces are rising fast, and war-averse humans or merfolk have accumulated enough numbers that they need a new solution rather than a hopeless confrontation.

The Kikuchi family behind the Kikuchi Lingren took advantage of the tsunami crisis to complete control of the Japanese islands. Several small families in the Western Pacific region also defected after receiving the resource support provided by Rongxuan.

This young mermaid is no longer the purebred orphan who can only gain status through throne battles. He has begun to accumulate strength and extend his hand of power further afield.

He must be stronger, strong enough to prevent Tao Yiran from being threatened any more.

On the other hand, Ogra Miller failed in an assassination attempt on the patriarch Uriel and was sentenced to death. On the night before the execution, it was said that this vicious purebred mermaid hijacked his father and escaped from the prison.

No one has known his whereabouts since.

Of course, no mermaid would see it. Rong Xuan peeled off his fish scales one by one, hung them on the coconut tree on the island closest to the mermaid cemetery, and died in the sun.

Afterwards, several Western Pacific families withdrew from the parliament, and as long as the vacant positions came to the next year's voting period, they would be filled by other Western Pacific families.

At this time, half a year had passed since Tao Yiran left the fourth city-state.The clueless mermaid can only stop hunting.

Exciting news came out of this year's God of Fighting Competition.

According to the content in the cipher text, the old professor made a suggestion to the central government, hoping that next year's Gods of Gods competition will use all evolved humans, so as to understand the true level of all existing evolved humans, and secondly, to re-select better evolved humans.

His suggestion has received positive feedback, and the team led by the old professor will become a consultant for this battle of gods, monitoring the data of all evolved people throughout the process.

Until the spring of the next year, there was no news about Tao Yiran, and he no longer caused any incidents. Just when everyone doubted whether he was dead, on the deadline for registration of this year's God of Fighting Tournament, Tao Yiran Yiran suddenly appeared on the list of evolved people in Baihai City.

The mermaid, who was always concerned about the information of Baihai City, slowly put down the list of the God of Fighting Competition, and a smile finally appeared on the corner of her tense mouth.

He knew that this human being would never just hide and wait obediently.In the end, instead of disappearing, he declared war again from the place where they first met.

I am here, I am alive.He told all the guys who cared about him in this way.

I really want to see how you stand on the ring for the third time, will you still be called the skeleton killer like before, will you still be so desperate?

You said that you still want to go back to that place to fulfill your dream, and you will work hard to achieve what you wish, so I also believe that you will definitely come back to me and create the world you want together with me.

The God Fighting Tournament is a special protection event that can be obtained once registered. Even mermaid hunters cannot surpass such rules.The Fighting Gods Tournament represents the hope of all mankind for power. If anything happens to Tao Yiran during the race, it will attract the attention of mankind.

The mermaids could only watch him sit and dine majestically next to his pursuers, and provoke these guys who had revealed their identities extremely viciously.

Human beings who have been wandering for almost a year are not as decadent as imagined. When he easily won [-] games in a row and reached the final game of the challenge, this young man who was shortlisted three times was finally remembered by people.

The young man turned his head to look at the camera, with a smile of victory on his lips. The appearance shown in this photo is completely different from the boy with gloomy eyes avoiding the camera five years ago.

The people of Baihai City began to frantically pursue this young man who had undergone tremendous changes.The little God of War who went out from here will definitely be able to stand at the end this time.

The young man on the stage looked at the audience who were waving their fists and shouting their names, clenched their fists, and lightly hammered on their chest as if swearing an oath.

He is no longer the Tao Yiran who is afraid of failure. Even if he falls down again, he firmly believes that he can stand up again. His life has experienced countless restarts. This time, he has something that he must protect. Restarting, it turned into a stronger courage to let him face all the pressure.

He must survive, by all means.Living under the spotlight, preventing all shadows from intruding, and making all plots that fear the light disappear, this is the best way for him to protect himself.

And he also firmly believed that the little mermaid must have received the news he sent in this way.

I'm alive.You also have to live.
