The second incident was a little more bizarre. In essence, it should be a nautical legend, and the legend was about the mermaid race that had been passed down since the ancient civilization.
Mermaids in the sea? According to the legend, mermaids were extremely beautiful with a human body and a fish tail. They would sing a moving song under the hazy night sky, but the song would lead the ship to destruction and the crew to death.
"I bet I saw a mermaid! Even if her figure is so hazy, that voice is truly unforgettable. It is definitely not a voice that a human's voice can produce. "
"I'm not bluffing! I saw more than one mermaid. The woman was beautiful, and the man's upper body didn't look like a human. There were a few of them, and they were … "
The crew members who were not far away from Tang Ling started to talk louder. Compared to the heavy topic of the sea beast tide, the mermaid legend was more attractive, relaxing, and interesting.
The crowd gathered around and joined the discussion. Maybe because of the crowd's support, the crew members got even more excited. The more they talked, the more ridiculous they became. They even talked about mermaids being soulless and seducing humans to steal their souls.
"Oh my god, are there really mermaids?" Fatty was shocked beside Tang Ling.
Tang Ling was even more surprised. Fatty could understand the discussion? It was normal for sailors to know a lot of dialects when they were out at sea for a long time, but Fatty seemed to be quite knowledgeable.
"Mermaids? What mermaids?" Ro Li asked Fatty in a dumbfounded manner.
Fat Finn explained with a joyful expression, but Tang Ling felt that the ridiculous topic had lost its informational value. He put down the empty mug and said, "Let's go to the commercial district of Lighthouse Street."
Even though Fatty wanted to hear more about the mermaid legend, Tang Ling had asked him to leave, so Fatty dragged his feet and stood up. When he stood up, he was reluctant to part with his ears.
While everyone was waiting for Fatty, Tang Ling was the only one who furrowed his brows. Amidst the heated discussion about the mermaids, he suddenly heard an unintentional remark. "Why are all these mermaids in the Li Suo Sea? Are they chasing schools of fish away? '
Legend had it that mermaids had the ability to chase schools of fish away.
But that was only a legend!
"Legend? Li Suo Ocean? "Tang Ling was deep in thought.
**
The business district of Lighthouse Street was indeed bustling with activity. Even though Tang Ling had seen the commercial district of Darkness Port as a trading port city, he could not help but exclaim. Other than being slightly smaller, the commercial district of Lighthouse Street was as lively as Darkness Port.
More importantly, even Ling Yu had to admit that the quality of the goods in Lighthouse Street was better than the goods in Darkness Port.
Even in an ordinary shop, one could see a large number of Level 3 Vicious Beast materials. Note that these were not Vicious Beast meat, but Vicious Beast materials. These were obviously more valuable than Vicious Beast meat.
After all, under normal circumstances, a vicious beast's weight would not be light. The meat was the easiest to obtain, but the other ingredients were not.
In the auction held every day in the commercial district, there would be items related to Level 7 vicious beasts as well as various marine treasures.
However, none of that had anything to do with Tang Ling and the others because they were all broke. Even Wu Qing and Ling Yu did not have much money either. Both of them were just collecting resources, so they did not have much money in their hands.
Therefore, aside from the auction, Tang Ling and the others were not even qualified to enter a normal shop.
"After this voyage, I'm going to be rich!" Han Xing's eyes flashed as he loudly announced his decision. This commercial district was too prosperous and there were too many good things. He had his eyes on a natural colorful coral bracelet. If he bought it and gave it to Luo Xiaoxin, would Luo Xiaoxin throw herself into his arms and be so touched that she would immediately confirm her relationship with him?
The more Han Xing thought about it, the happier he got. He was already immersed in his fantasy as if there was no one else around him. Ro Li sneezed beside him and when he glanced at Han Xing's expression, he felt disgusted.
What is this kid up to this time? Is it about my sister?
Fatty did not care about all that as he focused on the precious ingredients. He was thinking about how he could get his hands on one or two of them and cook them into top-notch dishes that would make Xi Feng happy.
Fatty could not help but chuckle, causing Ling Yu and Wu Qing to exchange a glance. Were the people on Tang Ling's ship all perverts?
They really did look like a bunch of perverts!
Look, Xi Feng, the female tyrannosaurus, is raising a giant fishbone hammer excitedly and saying 'I like it!'
Bei Qi was standing high up in the crowded street, singing a rap song. Strangely enough, there were even people cheering for him.
Nan Yu was still coughing to the point that his lungs were about to come out, but he did not forget to prick his ears to eavesdrop on the whispers of the people around him. He was as gossipy as he could get.
As for Dong Yang, he seemed a little more normal, but something worried him. He stood on the street at a 45-degree angle and looked up at the night sky with sadness in his eyes.
"Don't get mixed up with this group of people. Otherwise, we will also become perverts." Ling Yu could not help but say.
"I agree. Tang Ling isn't a normal person either. Huh? Where's Tang Ling? Where's Higan? "Wu Qing was the first to notice the problem.
Indeed, Tang Ling and Higan were nowhere to be seen in the sea of people.
Ling Yu and Wu Qing shrugged helplessly. Who did not know that Tang Ling had a complicated relationship with the queen? Let them be. Since they had agreed on a place to stay, they were not afraid of missing.
However, they did not understand why the queen was so devoted to Tang Ling. As normal men, Wu Qing and Ling Yu could not help but feel a tinge of jealousy.
**
Tang Ling did not know the jealousy in Wu Qing and Ling Yu's heart.
Tang Ling was calculating in his mind. He had a measly amount of True Capital coins in his pocket. Should he buy one stick of lobster ice cream or two?
"Boss, one stick of lobster ice cream." While Tang Ling was in a dilemma, Higan suddenly told the ice cream owner with a smile.
As though she was afraid that the owner would think that Tang Ling was stingy, she muttered softly, "Eating this will make you fat. Just a small bite and you'll be fine."
Tang Ling smiled and stopped thinking. He bought a stick of lobster ice cream and gave it to Higan.
"Actually, I used to be quite rich." Walking under the moonlight, Tang Ling tried to explain something to Higan.
He used to be quite rich, but he did not know why. Every time he was with Higan, he became a pauper.
"Hmm, I believe you." Higan took a small bite of the lobster ice cream and gave it to Tang Ling.
"You're not eating anymore?" Tang Ling's Adam's apple bobbed. He was actually craving ice cream. He really wanted to try the food from the old civilization. Moreover, would it taste better with lobster meat?
"I don't have a sense of taste." Higan stuck her tongue out and winked at Tang Ling.
"Hahaha!" Tang Ling laughed and took the ice cream. He took a big bite and half of it was gone.
It was delicious! The ice cream had a rich milky aroma and the fresh lobster meat was a magical combination!
It was many times better than the popsicle he had in Darkness Port. Tang Ling could not help but take another bite. There was only a small bit left.
Tang Ling then remembered that Higan had only taken a small bite. He scratched his head in embarrassment and passed the little bit to her. "I think I ate too much. Do you want more?"
"Of course." Higan took the ice cream with a smile and hooked her arm around Tang Ling's. "You give me the first bite every time. It's so nice."
"Is that it?" Tang Ling suddenly blushed, but he did not reject her hand. He gestured and said, "I'll have more money in the future. I'll buy you a hundred lobster ice cream sticks. "
"Sure." Higan smiled happily as if Tang Ling had bought her a hundred lobster ice cream sticks.
The moonlight on the sea was beautiful. When it shone on the surface of the sea, it looked like it was plated with a layer of flowing purple light.
After exiting the bustling commercial district, the famous Moonlight Path was right in front of them.
Compared to the bustling commercial district, the Moonlight Path was a lot quieter. The path on the beach was paved with a special material that could reflect the moonlight, making the path look like it was forged from purple gold.
The people who came to the Moonlight Path would not walk on it. Instead, they would stroll on the beach.
There was a precious coconut grove on the beach. It was said that the coconut trees were rare and rarely mutated. They were similar to the coconut trees of the old civilization.
Since everything in the old civilization had mutated, everything that retained the strong characteristics of the old civilization was naturally precious.
The night breeze blew the coconut grove as if it was blowing the moonlight. Tang Ling and Higan walked on the beach in silence.
Tang Ling liked it. Since the two of them could walk together without talking, they must have a deep and tacit relationship.
"Tang Ling, do you think there are mermaids out there?" Higan looked at the sea further away and listened to the waves. She suddenly asked.
"Hmm, I don't know. I don't think there are in this era. "Tang Ling found a spot on the beach and sat down.
Higan also sat down with Tang Ling and leaned on his shoulder. Her heart was calm and warm. "Actually, I've read a story about mermaids before."
"What's it about?"
"It's about a little mermaid. In order to be with the prince in her heart, she endured the pain and asked a wizard to cut off her fish tail and turn it into a pair of legs. Only then could she land on land, "Higan said casually.
"Hmm, and then?" Tang Ling did not hear anything special about it. Instead, he was calculating which form of tail and legs was more cost-effective.
"Then, she had to endure the pain of walking every day. Every step she took felt like she was stepping on a knife. But she was happy … "Higan's voice sounded distant and muffled as if she was falling asleep.
"Why would she be happy?" Tang Ling was confused.
"Because even though her legs hurt, she could see the prince every day." Higan was really falling asleep. Leaning on Tang Ling, the warmth and peace of mind made her feel very comfortable. It was a feeling that others could never understand.
"Is the prince that good-looking?" Tang Ling grumbled softly.
"I don't know. But I think if it was me, I'd be willing too. "Higan curled her lips into a smile.
She thought about the punishment of wood and every day that she walked towards Darkness Port. The pain was not actually pain because her heart was filled with hope.
Compared to the peace of being able to stay by Tang Ling's side, Higan felt anxious. Did she give up too little? She was really afraid that she did not give enough and her happiness would not be stable.
"You're willing to do this?! Why? Are you interested in the prince too? "Tang Ling shouted in dissatisfaction. He did not understand the deeper meaning behind Higan's words.
As smart as he was, his understanding of relationships was probably at a kindergarten level.
Maybe it was the fairness of God. He was blessed with great wisdom but at the same time, he was robbed of something else!
Higan listened to what Tang Ling said. She smiled and did not say anything else. She held Tang Ling's hand softly.
Tang Ling instinctively tightened his grip. As the sea breeze blew, he suddenly said, "You shouldn't do this."
"Why?" Higan closed her eyes and mumbled. She really wanted to have a good sleep.
"I think I should turn my legs into a fish tail and come to you. Even if it hurts, I can endure the pain. "Tang Ling thought it was the right way.
"Haha, do you think you are a prince?" Higan suddenly laughed.
"It's not about whether I am a prince or not! What are you thinking?! "Tang Ling's face was burning hot as he argued loudly.
Higan smiled but did not say anything. She held Tang Ling's hand tighter.
What she did not tell Tang Ling was the ending of the story. The little mermaid's pain could not be exchanged for the prince's love, so she turned into a pile of bubbles.
If the prince was Tang Ling and he was willing to turn into a fish tail to search for the little mermaid, the story would have been rewritten.
Fortunately, it was Tang Ling, was it not?
**
Omir looked at the image on the screen. The jealousy in his eyes almost turned into a burning flame.
That girl is the most beautiful queen on land?
In the image, Higan was leaning on Tang Ling and holding his hand tightly.
Maybe because it was a private place, Higan had taken off her veil. The smile on her face was so beautiful and charming that one would be captivated at first glance and would not be able to move their eyes away.
This was the first time Omir had seen such a mesmerizing face. His heart immediately beat wildly, and he had no intention of stopping it.
He wanted to own this woman!
Before this, he was disdainful. The most beautiful queen on land?! How could she be as beautiful as the daughter of the Poseidon family? One thing worth noting was that the daughter of the ocean had a different kind of charm.
Besides, as noble as he was, he would not care about such trivial news. He was not even curious about the queen's face.
Until today … Omir's heaving chest stated his restlessness. Did this mean that Tang Ling had one more reason to die?
