After Crossing Through Ten Worlds, I Failed To Run Away - Chapter 88
[Chapter 83 Ark (II)]
The little mermaid, less than the size of a palm, tried hard to push away the fragments of the eggshell, and drilled out from the inside, revealing the upper half of its body, blinking round eyes, looking at Ark for a few seconds, and suddenly let out a soft cry, revealing a Little smile.
There is still more than half of the eggshell left, and there is a warm and transparent liquid in it. The blue fishtail of the little mermaid is soaked in the liquid, reflecting a beautiful luster under the light. The black hair is wet on the face, and the light-colored eyes are faint. Reflecting a thin line, it is a slender vertical pupil, and the fingers are also connected by a webbed membrane, showing a structure different from that of humans.
With a “click”, his center of gravity was unstable, and he rolled over from the eggshell and landed in Alke’s palm.
Facing the newly born little mermaid, Alke was a little overwhelmed, just like when he met Ji Ning for the first time before, he also didn’t know how to deal with such a weak life.
The little mermaid suddenly hugged his thumb and took a light bite. The newly born mermaid has sharp teeth, enough to pierce through flesh and blood, but the little mermaid did not bite hard, and Alke only felt a slight sting.
“Are you hungry?” The
little mermaid bit him, and then looked up at him with a look of longing in his eyes. Alke, who had read the “Mermaid Baby Breeding Guide” several times, immediately thought of it. According to the content of the book, the newborn mermaid usually needs to eat immediately, so he wants to bring him the prepared food.
He carefully put the little mermaid and the eggshell back into the incubator, but the little mermaid immediately lay on the transparent wall, her soft cheeks pressed against the glass, casting out a fleshy shadow. He was about to leave, tears rolled from his eyes, and he called out twice.
Alke couldn’t see the little mermaid crying, so he took him out and held it in his hands, and at the same time called out, “Fergie.”
“What’s the matter?” The
red-haired man responded, and when he saw Al When he grabbed the mermaid in his hand, he immediately called out, “Ah! You are born!”
But in the next second, he realized that his words were incorrect, so that Alke’s eyes changed a little when he looked at him, he coughed and said in a tacit understanding: “I want to get something to eat, wait, Come!” The
man quickly brought a small plate of fresh and soft shellfish, picked up a piece and held it in front of the little mermaid.
Although the food in front of him was full of temptations, the little mermaid still refused to eat it, but looked at Alke eagerly, he only trusted him, and he flicked his tail happily and sat on the egg until Alke fed him the food himself. Holding the shellfish in the shell and eating it.
Afterwards, the two of them strictly followed the steps in the guide and replaced the little mermaid with better water quality. It is very dependent on the smell on the eggshell, so that the little mermaid can stay in the incubator with peace of mind by smelling the familiar smell.
In short, there are still a lot of troublesome things. The two of them don’t even have a girlfriend, let alone raising children, and they are such a delicate little mermaid. He always refuses to let Alke leave. In a hurry.
When the little mermaid finally fell asleep, the two people’s busy work came to an end. It’s just that the plan is not as good as the change. The little mermaid is very dependent on Alke, even if he is sleeping, he refuses to stay away from him. Alke has to continue to hold the eggshell to coax him to sleep.
The little mermaid curled up in the eggshell filled with water, hugged its tail, spit out a bubble in the water, and slept extraordinarily sweetly.
Looking at his peaceful sleeping face, Arke’s initially nervous mood gradually calmed down, replaced by joy at the birth of a new life, his eyes softened unconsciously, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
“It’s good…”
Seeing that the little mermaid only liked Ark without even looking at himself, the red-haired man showed a sour expression, sighed, and spoke.
“Now I finally understand why those nobles buy mermaid eggs and mermaid eggs at sky-high prices. They really only like the people they see first.”
Then he felt a little pity: “But I still prefer money. I don’t understand, why do you have to keep this mermaid? He should be the companion egg of the mermaid prince named ‘Jining’, right? Is it because of knowing this prince?”
“…Yes.”
After a moment of silence, Alke said softly, “My memory has recovered a little recently.”
“Oh?” The red-haired man suddenly became interested , “What did you think of?”
“…” The white-haired angel lowered his eyes and didn’t tell him the whole story. He just said, “I know Ji Ning and have a good relationship with him.”
He held the eggshell with one hand, The other hand touched the little mermaid’s soft face lightly. Under the dim light, his expression seemed a little gloomy, and he seemed to be caught in some kind of emotion.
“I don’t know what kind of relationship you had in the past.” The
red-haired man looked at him for a while, then put away the teasing expression on his face, but said in a rare serious manner, “Even if this little mermaid is Ji Ning’s companion Egg, he is no longer the Ji Ning you know, but—”
“I understand.”
Alke interrupted him gently.
Of course he knows.
No matter how similar, with the same genes and appearance, this new little mermaid is not his mermaid.
The merman who had countless memories with him and taught him what love, tears and heartache, the merman who belongs to him alone, is no longer in this world.
But even so, he couldn’t hand over the newborn little mermaid to others, let alone watch him be kept and molested by the nobles and become a beautiful and pitiful plaything.
He has to protect him well.
The little mermaid grows very fast. After two months, he has grown into the appearance of a few-year-old child. His complexion is milky white and his body is soft. Zhong jumped up, hugging Alke’s neck and calling his brother happily.
“You’re like a young single dad.” The
red-haired man laughed at Alke when he saw this, but in the next second he was slapped by the little mermaid’s tail, causing the man to scream, mainly because distress is more expensive than gold water is wasted.
“Be good, don’t make trouble.”
Alke stroked the little mermaid’s hair. The young mermaid blinked and shrunk back into the water tank obediently. The red-haired man changed his clothes and came back with a smile on his face. , did not get angry, and said to Alke: “Then I will go back to the home planet to get some equipment to do the task, and I will come back to you in a few days.”
“Thank you, Fergie.” The
white-haired angel solemnly pointed towards The man thanked. During this period of time, because the mermaid was still very young, he could not leave at will, nor could he follow the man to do tasks. Recently, the man went by himself.
Even in order to take care of the little mermaid more conveniently, they also built a temporary base on Titan, just to allow the little mermaid to swim in the sea from time to time. If he is always trapped in a small tank, his mood will have problems.
“You don’t have to be so polite. You can make money and return it to me in the future.” The
red-haired man said indifferently. Before leaving, he waved to the little mermaid: “Then I’ll go first, little friend.”
“Goodbye uncle. “The little mermaid also waved at him.
“Why do you always call me uncle? You want to call me brother!” The
man glared at him, but when he saw the sweet and soft smile on the little mermaid’s tender face, he finally sighed helplessly.
“Ah, by the way.” He stood at the door, suddenly remembered something, turned to Alke and said, “Have you not given him a name yet, have you thought about it now?”
“…”
Alke shook his head hesitantly. He is not good at naming names, but he doesn’t want the little mermaid to be called Ji Ning, so he still hasn’t decided yet. He would never let the little mermaid out of his sight, and he would just speak up if something happened.
“Okay, then you decide as soon as possible.” The man shrugged, “If he always doesn’t have a name, he will be pitiful.”
“I see.” Alke nodded.
The red-haired man waved his hand and left in a dashing manner. Arke was also ready to go out. He took the transforming potion, changed his wings and appearance, and then put the little mermaid in a breathable box, and the outside was covered with A layer of black cloth walked out of the temporary base.
The base is very close to the sea, so it is convenient for Ark to take the little mermaid to the beach to play.
He bought a boat and drove the boat to a secluded reef, avoiding the eyes and ears of the hunters, but not too close to the center of the sea, otherwise it would attract fighting mermaids. Although Arke was not afraid of those mermaids, he did not want to Kill the merman’s kin.
Seeing the blue sea, the little mermaid cheered, jumped down from the box, plunged into the water, and swam happily, and even caught a few fish and threw them on the boat for today’s dinner.
Alke looked at the flexible figure of the little mermaid and showed a little smile, until the little mermaid suddenly emerged from the water, clawed at the edge of the boat, pointed to the distance on the sea and said, “Brother Alke, look, what is that? !” The
white-haired angel looked into the distance and moved instantly. Although the shadows are far away, they are just a few black spots that cannot be seen clearly, but Ark, who used to be a powerful war machine with excellent eyesight, can still distinguish them. It is a few lines patrolling the sea. Mermaid.
“…Let’s go back.”
Alke is not good at lying, so he avoided talking about this issue and picked up the little mermaid from the sea: “It may be dangerous.”
The little mermaid has never seen his fellow clan, but Ark doesn’t know if the mermaid will have a violent reaction when they see him, because he looks exactly like their former prince, and it is very likely that they want to take the little mermaid back.
It’s not that Alke can’t beat them, but he is worried that the little mermaid will want to go back with them when he sees so many kinsmen. He doesn’t want to make the mermaid sad, but he is also afraid that he will leave his side.
Even if he finally chooses to return to his family, at least he has to grow up a little more…
With this kind of mood, Arke’s mood seemed a little down, he rocked the boat back to the shore, dragged the box and walked towards the base , but suddenly encountered a road closure when crossing the street.
“Residents please evade, residents please evade…”
Cars with horns broadcast, and at the same time spray cleaning foam on both sides of the street, on the one hand, to drive away pedestrians, on the other hand, to clean the streets.
After a while, the street became clean and open, and all the residents hid in the shops on both sides of the street. Arke did not want to attract attention, so he entered a hotel with a suitcase, went up to the second floor, opened a room, and stood there. Looking at the street below from the window, trying to figure out the reason for the road closure.
Being on Titan, which belongs to the Noah Star Nation, he must always be careful and pay attention to the disturbances nearby, so as to prevent him from being unaware when danger is approaching, and causing death.
After a while, there was a loud rumbling sound on the street. A group of armored vehicles drove ahead. Airships flew in the sky, sprinkled with colorful flowers, and behind the armored vehicles was another group of tanks, followed by chariots and armored vehicles. The soldiers walked past several rows of honor guards playing ceremonial music, and a luxurious and huge float finally appeared on the street.
“It’s the ‘Ark Angel’!”
The crowds on both sides of the street suddenly rioted, because they all saw several angels sitting on the float.
These angels have beautiful and pure looks, as delicate as dolls, with pale golden hair, pure light blue eyes like jewels, smiling and waving to the surrounding crowd.
Just at this moment, Alke, who was standing by the window, suddenly tightened his fingers on the window edge, his expression condensed.
A faint pain spread over his body.
They are the second generation of “Ark Angels” of Noah’s Star Kingdom.
He was also the one who shot him down, destroyed his wings and most of his body, and nearly killed him.
