Dressed as Mary Suwen's supporting actress

"Come here." Chen Qingchuan, who was beside the fire, waved his hand, and smiled at the red-tailed mermaid lurking at the bottom of the water.

The red-tailed mermaid looked at it quietly for a while, its tail fidgeting with the seaweed floating in the water, hesitated for a long time, and finally a frizzy head emerged.

"Why haven't you left..."

"Want to eat grilled scallops? I didn't put any other seasonings except salt. I tasted two that were a bit fishy, ​​and they should be quite to your taste." Chen Qingchuan took the scallops out of the fire and put them by the pool, "Be careful, let it dry for a while before eating."

The red-tailed mermaid looked at him with complicated eyes.

Chen Qingchuan didn't hear the splash of the mermaid jumping out of the water, so he turned to look at her.

Unexpectedly, the red-tailed mermaid did not lie on the rocks in the pool and watch the grilled scallops drooling, but instead lurked vigilantly in the distance, with only two eyes exposed on the water.It wasn't until I met Chen Qingchuan's eyes that I slowly raised my upper body, bit my lips in confusion, and asked timidly, "Why don't you leave..."

The appearance of wanting to eat but not daring to approach it made Chen Qingchuan's heart itch: "I won't leave."

After hearing this, the red-tailed mermaid swam a little farther, swallowed, and unconsciously moved her eyes to the grilled scallops.

Chen Qingchuan then added: "It's true that your queen is looking for me, but her and I are not in conflict. When the time is right, we might still be friends."

The red mermaid tilted her head and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out why.A trace of confusion flashed in the beautiful, jewel-like pupils.

"If you're still worried, after you've finished eating the grilled scallops, you can still send me to your queen." Chen Qingchuan continued to seduce him, and he turned his head slightly, the angular outline was very clear under the light of the fire, "When the time comes Know the truth of my words."

"..."

The red-tailed mermaid still hesitated, swam to the edge of the pool, stared blankly at Chen Qingchuan's slender and sharp black eyes, and asked, "...you look so good, you won't lie to me, right?"

Chen Qingchuan picked up the grilled scallops and fed them to the red-tailed mermaid's mouth, jokingly said: "In human society, the more beautiful humans are, the more likely they are to lie."

The red-tailed mermaid lowered her head and sniffed the grilled scallops. The aroma was tangy, and she stubbornly resisted the temptation.

"Are you really not going to eat?"

"...don't eat." The red-tailed mermaid just opened her mouth, and the saliva rushed out of her mouth, and there was a large piece of wet on the stone she was lying on.

Chen Qingchuan let out a low laugh, and put the grilled scallop into his mouth pretending to be helpless, "Well, it's a bit fishy, ​​it's not tasty, it's not delicious, it's not delicious at all..."

"Ah..." The stone on which the red-tailed mermaid was lying became even more wet, and she couldn't stop swallowing.

Chen Qingchuan ate four or five grilled scallops one after another, and when there was only the last one left, he said, "Little fish, are you really not going to eat it? It's the last one, don't you want to taste it?"

The drooling red-tailed mermaid has long been confused by the smell of grilled scallops that can be seen but not eaten. When he heard that he was the last one, he said without thinking about it without the previous concentration: "This time... my time, my time... ..." drooling and unable to speak clearly.

"Hahahahahaha——" Ever since he came to this plane, Chen Qingchuan laughed so heartily, "Here you are."

The mermaid who had been fed immediately forgot his vigilance, climbed up to the shore, found a comfortable position, put his head on Chen Qingchuan's lap, and slowly told what he had seen and heard in the past two days.

Chen Qingchuan, who was slightly obsessed with cleanliness, wiped around the red-tailed mermaid's mouth with a veil, took out a comb from his ugly little cloth bag, and combed the frizzy red hair of the mermaid slowly.

The well-proportioned fingers, with a slight chill, shuttled gently through the mermaid's bright red hair, and every time they touched the hair, the mermaid's body temperature was much lower than that of a human's and could not help shivering.

Oh, yes, he's not even human.

"Do you have a name?" The red-tailed mermaid asked Chen Qingchuan nonchalantly.I couldn't help thinking of what Stefan said in my mind, his name means a crown.

"..."

Chen Qingchuan was silent for a long time, and just when the red-tailed mermaid thought he would not answer, he suddenly said: "...Many, many years ago, some creatures called me Him."

"Him???" the red-tailed mermaid asked, "Is there any meaning? Sounds strange?"

"It's just a title, it doesn't mean much." Chen Qingchuan put a part of the tidied hair on the mermaid's chest, and then tidied up the other part, "Do you want a name? The name of the mermaid is given by the queen. The mermaid will be reborn and evolve into a higher level mermaid."

The higher the level, the higher the status in the group, and the red tail is the last among the mermaids, especially she is a mottled red tail.

Red Mermaid: "..."

She never thought that it was impossible to be given the name by the Queen.

Chen Qingchuan continued: "Every human being has a name when he is alive, but not every fish, but..."

"But what???" the red-tailed mermaid was curious.

"Basically every fish will have a name after it dies, for example, live fish sashimi, steamed fish, braised fish, rice covered with fish, boiled fish slices, fish head with chopped pepper, sweet and sour carp, etc."

The red-tailed mermaid flicked its tail speechlessly, and its strong tail slapped the ground, "...This is not funny, no fish wants to be eaten."

"Just kidding." Chen Qingchuan put the comb into his ugly bag, and suddenly asked seriously: "What your queen can do, so can I. Do you want a name?"

"No need." The red-tailed mermaid didn't believe what he said at all.The queen of the mermaid clan is the most powerful fish in the entire mermaid clan, so how could he be comparable.

"The human named Stefan gave me a name—Roslie." The red-tailed mermaid looked at the white crescent moon in the sky through the cave in the middle of the sea cave and said, "It means a rose in full bloom." .”

"Blooming roses..." Chen Qingchuan looked down at the rose-like face of the red-tailed mermaid lying on his lap. After thinking for a long time, he was still dissatisfied and denied, "No, this name is really ugly."

Chen Qingchuan got up and motioned for the red-tailed mermaid to follow behind.The howling wind hit the two of them, rolling up huge waves, and hit the rock under his feet with a loud bang, making his toes numb.

The loose clothes fluttered in the wind, and when they walked to the entrance of the sea cave, the red-tailed mermaid emerged from the hidden water, staring fixedly at the thin and lonely back of the man.

"Little fish, look."

Surging waves beat against the shore, and the long, low rumble prolonged the time. The thick black sea water opened the mouth of the abyss like a terrifying monster, roaring, roaring, and was swept up by the strong wind thousands of feet high and fell heavily. .The tiny snow-white seagulls became the only light, floating in the wind and waves.

An ethereal and long cry of whales carries the hot and sincere golden light leaping from the sky, the sky is bright and the red sun is rising, illuminating the sea of ​​clouds, and the deep sea reveals a clear blue, sparkling like a fairyland.

"It's dawn."

"This sea is called the Sea of ​​Death, and it is the place where the god of the plane died. The energy scattered in the sea gave birth to the mermaid race." Chen Qingchuan looked deeply at the distant sun, "Legend, every time a fallen There will be one more mermaid in the sea of ​​death, the god of the plane."

The thin man turned his head suddenly, his whole body was glowing with rays of light, his black eyes sparkled with bits and pieces of broken diamonds, he squatted down, and pressed his forehead against the mermaid's low-temperature forehead.

Said in a low and hoarse mermaid language: "I bestow upon you supreme glory. You will have beauty, wisdom, and the energy to control the waves. You will be named Xi, which means dawn. The darkness has passed, and a new life is about to usher in."

A warm current flowed through the mermaid's body until the temperature on the forehead disappeared.Only then did she slowly open her eyes, blue light bands flowing in the pupils of different colors.

"Do you like the name Xi?" The man sitting on the reef, resting, stared at the sea level absentmindedly.

"I like it..." Mermaid Xi nodded, swam to Chen Qingchuan's side, and leaned on his back relyingly.
