Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 227 The Legend of the Mermaid Kingdom

I don’t know how much time has passed, it is still pitch black outside and all the sounds have disappeared, but the force on my fingers is still there.

Xu Weiwei guessed that their whereabouts were over.

"What was Wei'er laughing at just now?" Kane asked.

Xu Weiwei was in a dilemma for a moment. What should she say... If she didn't explain, she would seem like a psychopath. If she explained, her words would be too offensive.

"I just... um... I just remembered the joke that Finn brother told! So I couldn't help laughing, haha."

"Joke? What a joke."

"A squid was caught and then, uh... let Brother Finn tell the story! I'm not a good storyteller."

"Huh???" Finn turned his head sharply in the darkness.

"Then tell me about it, Finn."

"Can you tell jokes? Come on, tell me."

Finn was forced to tell his joke about grilled squid again. When the last word fell, there was a suffocating silence in the dark space.

Xu Weiwei curled her toes together in embarrassment, and Finn's earlobes turned red.

After all, she was the one who pushed the person out, so Xu Weiwei felt that she had the responsibility to say a few words for Finn.

"Isn't it interesting? Hahaha, this homonym, haha..." Xu Weiwei's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she fell silent.

"Yes, it's quite interesting." Kane squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

Mrs. Seaforth also avoided the point and said, "I didn't expect Finn to be such a humorous child."

Finn pulled his hand back and quietly covered his face.

The surroundings returned to silence. After an unknown amount of time, the starship experienced a significant drop, the sound of water flow became more obvious, and the light suddenly became brighter.

Xu opened her eyes slightly, and the image on the screen high above had changed drastically.

The stone walls, which are tens of meters high, are like continuous mountains, and the roads stand on both sides, forming a natural passage. The stone walls are covered with green and yellow moss, giving people a furry feeling, and there are many colorful anemones, water plants, corals and other things.

Their starships sailed through it, as if in a fairyland.

The sunlight shining down from above was blocked by schools of fish, jellyfish and other creatures, becoming mottled and broken, forming beams of light of varying thicknesses, which were absolutely beautiful.

It's simply a paradise on earth.

"It's so beautiful..." Xu sighed.

Kane nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, this is a true portrayal of a fairy tale world. These stone walls were said to be high mountains in the past, but after being in the sea for a long time, they were gradually covered by marine life and became what they are now. When Dreammed first started accepting tourists, many people were attracted by this scene and came back specifically to take pictures and check in."

Xu Weiwei searched around the screen, but could not see anything except the beautiful scenery, so she asked, "Why is there no one here now?"

"There have been several incidents of passenger starships crashing and killing people."

"what?!"

"This is a traffic channel. Many large and small spaceships and submarines run here. There are aquatic plants, schools of fish, and blind spots for turning. It's easy to get hit. The water flow caused by the movement will also suck people over."

"But there are always people who are not afraid of death and still come here to play. So the Mengmed people restricted the conditions of passage, allowing only one-way passage, which means people can enter but not exit. If they want to go out, there is another passage." Kane explained.

"Oh - then how was this terrain formed? Was there really a high mountain here before?"

"Uh... I don't know about that." Kane looked at Mrs. Seaforth for help.

Mrs. Seaforth said softly, "There are two theories about this. One is that it is simply the movement of the earth's crust, causing the land to sink and sink to the bottom of the sea. The other theory is a bit fantasy."

"What is it?" Xu Weiwei asked impatiently.

"I've been here many times, and I read some unofficial history in the local library. It's said that the planet Mengmed used to have distinct land and sea, but there wasn't much land, less than one-tenth of the land area of ​​the planet Huifeng."

"One year, the eldest prince of the Mermaid King, the next crown prince, went out to inspect the territory. He happened to save a man who fell into the sea and fell in love with him."

Xu Weiwei's eyes suddenly widened.

"But the mermaid prince was already over 18 years old, and the gender he chose was male, which was inconsistent with the man's concept of choosing a spouse. The prince did not give up and went to the island many times to get along with him. The man's attitude finally softened, but the two were discovered by the man's parents."

Xu Weiwei thought that the next plot was going to be about a couple breaking up, but she didn't expect the situation to change suddenly.

"The man's parents overheard their conversation and learned that the prince was a mermaid. They joined forces with the entire fishing village to capture him. They built an earth temple, tied the prince to a high seat, knelt down to worship him, and prayed for more fish."

Everyone who was listening to the story had their brows furrowed.

"No matter how the prince explained, the fishermen thought it was the god's rule that they could not use their powers at will. The man also tried his best to plead for him, but because of the relationship between the two of them, his words lost their credibility."

"After a while, the fishermen realized that the prince was really unwilling to help, but they didn't want to let him go easily, so a villager made a new proposal."

Xu Weiwei had a bad feeling in her heart.

"That is to eat the gods and gain their power, immortality, and the ability to breathe freely underwater. Of course, these effects are just their imaginations."

"The man's old friend let the man know about this. He knew the situation was urgent and he couldn't wait any longer even under his parents' surveillance. So he went to the temple late at night to rescue his lover."

"The ending is naturally a failure," Mrs. Seaforth sighed.

"This incident also angered the villagers. They decided not to wait any longer. In front of..." Mrs. Seaforth suddenly stopped and looked at her daughter's reaction, fearing that the content that followed would be too cruel and would scare her.

The others were attracted by the story and were listening attentively. Mrs. Wolfhard urged impatiently: "Tell me, what happened next?"

"In front of the man, they cut open the prince's heart and drained his blood. They cut off pieces of his flesh and ate them, and drank all his blood."

Xu Weiwei was so angry that she couldn't speak. Her chest was burning with anger and she felt choked.

"After the bloody meal, they didn't even spare the bones. The mermaid prince had turned back into a mermaid the moment he died. Seeing the bones that looked like a miracle, the people who had eaten their fill rushed to grab them. The skeleton was violently broken and disassembled."

"The man regained his strength and fought with the crowd like crazy. He snatched his lover's skull and knelt on the ground, holding it tightly in his arms. No matter how hard the crowd kicked him, he refused to let go."

"The fishermen dispersed when they were exhausted, because they could get other spoils anyway."

"With his last breath, the man stole a fishing boat on the seashore and rowed into the deep sea with his lover's skull. He shouted the name of the mermaid prince. He only knew his name."

"The mermaid soldiers were also looking for the prince during the days he disappeared. But they were only looking for the sea and never thought that the prince had run to land. When they heard someone calling the prince's name on the sea, they swam over to the sound."

"The man handed them his lover's head, told them the whole story, and then he died and fell into the sea."

"When the news reached the palace, the whole country was outraged. The anger of the marine creatures caused the seabed to shake violently, the sea water was churned upside down, a hurricane blew up on the sea surface, and huge waves a hundred meters high were raised."

"Hurricanes and huge waves destroyed all the islands and land. From then on, the planet Mengmed was turned upside down, with no distinction between mountains and sea, and it became a complete sea kingdom."
