Chapter 162 You saved me
Chapter 162 You saved me
To express his apology, Xiaoyu gave Ning Shujun his treasured golden conch.
"Grandma Yu is right. We should not hurt others out of selfishness."
Seeing that she sincerely repented, Ning Shujun didn't care. She just felt guilty that she almost harmed the entire mermaid tribe. "Actually, I was also wrong. I hope you can forgive me."
"No, I was wrong first," Xiaoyu said, "I..." There was a flash of difference in his eyes as he stared at Ning Shujun.
Ning Shujun didn't notice and continued to talk to herself, "Didn't you recognize me after you were transformed? You also helped me drive away the other mermaids. I should say thank you."
Xiaoyu was a little unsure, so she reached out and touched Ning Shujun's neck. At this time, there were scales behind Ning Shujun's ears, but she didn't notice.
"What's wrong?" She reached out and touched her cheek, feeling something strange. Then she realized something was wrong with her body. A lot of scales appeared on her arms.
"How could this happen?" Ning Shujun was panicked, wondering if she had made a mistake. Her voice trembled a little, and she ran away covering her face.
Xiaoyu wanted to get closer but was stopped, so she quickly went to find someone to help.
Ning Shujun took out her staff and stood on the bottom of the sea. The staff turned into a lush green tree.
She complained: "I ask you, what is going on?"
Qing Mu glanced at him, then rolled his eyes, "You've already done everything, but instead of coming back to report, you're just having fun!"
"What do you mean?" Ning Shujun was puzzled.
"Stupid, don't forget the transformation beads you wanted." Aoki replied.
She was a little impatient. "But I crushed the beads on the shore and there was no change. How could this happen?"
"It's okay. The transformation bead only lasts for half a month." Qingmu raised his hand, and the branches of the tree behind him moved closer. A piece of paper appeared in front of him, and then a bunch of densely packed words appeared on the paper in a way that was visible to the naked eye.
"Half Moon" Ning Shujun looked at the legs under her body, which turned into a fish tail in the blink of an eye. Ning Shujun covered her eyes and saw the purple tail swaying through the gaps between her fingers. She couldn't bear it and ran away in fear.
Qingmu was just about to copy down the precautions to give to Ning Shujun, but she disappeared.
"Really?" The trees shrank back into place, returning to the state of a staff and standing still.
When the mermaids came over, Xiao Yuer found the conch he had given to Ning Shujun, as well as her things.
"She's gone"
Xiaoyu ran back and saw the person with Ning Shujun, and asked for help. Unexpectedly, the person looked very anxious and disappeared in a flash.
"She's... like me."
The clan leader instead paid attention to the staff. She was about to reach out to touch it, but the staff dodged her and then turned into an arrow to guide them.
Ning Shujun ran all the way, wanting to shake off the tail behind her, but when she turned around, she encountered a catfish.
The fish had a mouth full of sharp teeth and was ten times larger than her. It kept chasing Ning Shujun. She was anxious to get the things around her waist, but found that they were missing.
She was forced close to a coral reef, and Ning Shujun hid in the coral forest with her body shape. She was so scared that she dared not speak when she heard the monster rampaging in the coral forest.
"What should I do?" God knows, she will have another chance like this.
Suddenly a roar came from behind her. She turned around and saw the giant monster right behind her.
"Water monster!" She dodged quickly but still couldn't escape.
After chasing for a distance, the monster seemed to be more afraid of something and stopped chasing Ning Shujun. Just when she was feeling lucky to have escaped and hadn't even taken a breath, she saw a storm in the sea coming towards them.
A whirlpool appeared in the sea, and many creatures were sucked into it.
She swam forward with all her might, but she was out of strength. Ning Shujun saw the big fish that had just chased her. She grabbed the fish's tail and climbed tightly onto it, having no choice but to summon her magic weapon.
"Release" the dragon fish shook its heavy body.
"Not loose"
Two fat fish were caught in the water, and Ning Shujun was brought out of danger at the critical moment.
This was a series of nightmares, being treated as prey and falling into a whirlpool. She opened her eyes in horror and found herself lying on the reef. Looking at her tail, she no longer felt disgusted.
"woke up"
"It was you who saved me." Ning Shujun saw that her benefactor was still there and had saved her once again. She admired him even more and was very moved, but she still had to remain reserved.
"Here" the benefactor handed her a huge conch shell, which was full of pearls. Ning Shujun stared at it, her mouth curled up, and a tear rolled down from the corner of her eye. Only then did she notice that the tears in her eyes turned into pearls and fell into the conch shell.
Ning Shujun seemed to understand something and yet didn't understand. She looked up at her benefactor and asked, "This is..."
"You fell asleep and cried so much that pearls fell all over the floor. It was a pity, so I picked them up for you."
Ning Shujun smiled. She had let things go. She pushed a conch pearl to her benefactor, then jumped into the sea, did several somersaults, and climbed ashore. She turned around to look at her big tail and suddenly found it quite beautiful.
"Aren't you afraid of me becoming like this?"
The man looked at her calmly and said softly: "Be afraid."
"Don't worry, I won't eat you!" she said with a smile.
Then she realized that this person was so mysterious. He just appeared like that and came to the sea with her. Mortals cannot be in the water. If it is as the old lady said, he is a member of the demon tribe, but why would he help her?
Ning Shujun asked: "My benefactor, is he a demon?"
"No, I'm just an ordinary person."
"You know the sea, and you were able to drive away the four tyrants of the seabed. Even the Devourer of Demons was defeated by you, and you saved me from the whirlpool. Such abilities are not something that mortals can do."
"Well, that makes sense!" He nodded, "Do you remember what you said before?"
Ning Shujun blushed and immediately covered her face. Oh my god, she could meet a romantic partner when she went out to sea.
"How about this, you work for me and I'll get one hundred pearls a month." It's no big deal to cry a few more times. This guy is very capable. If she surrenders and becomes her helper, Li Yan will be a great help in the future.
"Ali"
"Who are you?" Ning Shujun's face changed and she frowned. She almost forgot this name.
The man's face looked more haggard without the mask. His face was relaxed, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. After being together for so long, she didn't recognize herself.
"Oh, it's you." She couldn't accept it, then Ning Shujun adjusted her mindset and smiled, "Murong Lian, shouldn't you marry that tribal princess?"
"I should have looked for you earlier!" Murong Lian held her hand, her eyes full of tenderness.
"What do you want from me?" Ning Shujun was about to run, but the man grabbed her wrist.
"You are angry, but I have nothing to do with that princess." It was just that two years ago, he was seriously injured and the princess of the tribe rescued him. The princess had been weak since childhood and needed snow lotus to prolong her life. In order to repay her life-saving grace, Murong Lian went to the snow mountain to pick snow lotus, that's all.
Ning Shujun adjusted her attitude and said, "You may have recognized the wrong person, and don't scare you with my dignity."
"I don't mind what you look like." After a pause, "I was wrong last time. I apologize."
She really wanted to escape from this situation, she couldn't handle it.
"Let go first"
Murong Lian let her go, but reminded herself in her heart that she must not let her leave again this time.
"I" Ning Shujun sighed and smiled bitterly, "It's ironic, isn't it" I was really moved just now.
She then looked at him fiercely, "How did you find me?"
Murong Lian felt a pain in her heart at her transformation, and she told him about how she met Liao Han after returning to Changguo. Liao Han is now the imperial teacher of Changguo, a powerful figure, and His Majesty obeys his orders.
The government and the country of Chang State were controlled by a group of monsters. They made the whole Chang State a mess. But they had Liao Han's support, and the civil and military officials in the court were helpless.
Murong Lian investigated and tried to find evidence of Liao Han's crime. He unexpectedly found a letter about Li Yan in Liao Han's study. The handwriting was very familiar to him. When he saw Liao Han losing control of his emotions and leaving Kyoto in a hurry, he followed him all the way.
Ning Shujun understood after hearing this. A thousand alpacas were flying through her heart, and she wanted to spit to death on that bastard Liao Han.
"I see. You think he was instructed by me. There is now disunity between the ruler and his subjects in Changguo. I'm sure the Murong family has also suffered a great blow." She was indeed gloating.
Murong Lian still asked: "Ali, are you involved in this matter?"
Ning Shujun raised her eyebrows and said, "Guess?" She missed Shen Chengjun a little. "How is Shen Chengjun now? I will be sad if he died." Having said that, Ning Shujun covered her heart and pretended to be hurt.
"Ali," Murong Lian said solemnly, "How have you been these past few years?"
"You have forgotten the purpose of this trip, to find the person behind the scenes. I am honored to be the person behind the scenes." Ning Shujun was a little overjoyed. She got another pearl and gathered it in the air to watch. "Now it seems that I can't beat you. It's really a headache."
