Chapter 99 Brainless and Unhappy 1
"Naturally, mermaids are the treasures of the empire. There are only two in the entire empire, including the one we just found. We should fully respect the mermaids' ideas and cannot force them based on their status... Your Highness Lan Yin, do you think so?"
In the spacious conference room, the unmarried and highest-status people in the empire gathered together. Everyone looked solemn. Those who didn't know thought that something big had happened to the empire, but in fact, it was about them. lifelong event.
Thousands of years ago, human beings evolved spiritual power through the passage of time. Their life span increased to 300 years, their physical fitness also improved significantly, and technology was advanced to the point where they could travel in outer space in spaceships. However, their fertility slowed down. It slowly decreased, the number of newborns plummeted, and there were fewer and fewer women, until they disappeared. Amid the panic, someone discovered a natural mermaid that was not reproductively isolated from humans.
Natural mermaids are beautiful and innocent in appearance, delicate and frail in body. Not only do they have an IQ comparable to that of humans, they can have children. Their tails can occasionally transform into legs, just like humans. They can also help humans channel their mental energy and avoid the occurrence of human diseases. Mental violence can lead to death, and every advantage is extremely attractive to humans. At that time, there was a huge craze for capturing natural mermaids.
But the backlash came very quickly. Soon, no more natural mermaids appeared. The humans who continued to try to catch the mermaids were all killed by some kind of deep-sea beast that seemed to secretly protect the mermaids. Humanity learned from the painful experience and promulgated laws to protect the mermaids. Method, using the genes of natural mermaids to develop artificial mermaids, so they did not perish.
It's just that the cultivation of artificial mermaids is demanding and their numbers are rare. Not only can they not form legs, but their IQs are also a little lower than ordinary people. Their physical fitness is extremely poor. They are almost too weak to take care of themselves. They cannot prevent human mental violence. At most, they can help soothe mental energy. .
Up to now, natural mermaids have almost become a legend. Just an artificial mermaid cultivated by the country has fetched a sky-high price. Everyone in the empire dreams of having a mermaid of their own.
A few months ago, the Mermaid Research Institute located on a certain coastline actually found an extremely rare natural mermaid after hundreds of years! The adult male mermaid immediately shocked the entire empire and was sent to the Mermaid Protection Institute on the Emperor Star, where he was given the best treatment.
The empire has also carefully considered the spouse of this natural mermaid, and finally decided to let the most outstanding people in the empire compete together. Whoever is most loved by the mermaid named "Su Su" will be the spouse of this natural mermaid. .
This rivalry has been going on for three months, with visits once a week, and today is the last time. They will take turns to meet Su Su, and in a week, the director of the protection center will announce Su Su's preferred spouse.
"Of course." Lan Yin glanced at the person who made the sound - Imperial Admiral Blaise.
Blaise is thirty-five years old this year. He comes from a big family and has led the First Army for many years. His power cannot be underestimated.
Excluding Lan Yin, the most noble crown prince in the empire, Blaise is the highest status among the others.
He was sullen at the moment and seemed very worried about Lan Yin.
"Why would the admiral say that?" Lan Yin tugged at the corners of his lips and said, "Is it because he doesn't believe in the fairness of the Protection Institute?"
The Mermaid Protection Institute has a unique status. It is a place that is independent of the royal family and is watched by the people of the entire empire. , it is almost impossible to show favoritism.
Blaise frowned and looked deeply at Lan Yin
.
Lan Yin looked back at him indifferently.
Others had different expressions, and the whole conference room was tense.
The dean of the protection center came in and asked everyone to go see Su Su in order.
"It's good that His Highness thinks so too." Blaise stood up first and followed the dean out almost impatiently.
Lan Yin looked at the smile that appeared on his lips involuntarily and withdrew his gaze coldly.
Reminding him like that was just because he was afraid that he would get involved, use his identity to suppress the protection institute, and take away Su Su's place as a spouse.
No one present knew that the imperial general had been in love with the natural mermaid for a long time, and they had long been a show-off.
Lan Yin's lips pursed into a straight line, and her eyes were dark.
It's no wonder Blaise was on guard against him, he was indeed attracted to the mermaid named Su Su.
Not only because his mental strength has been a little unstable recently, but he really doesn't like marrying an artificial mermaid as a princess. He has a low IQ and is extremely fragile. She cries when touched. Although Su Su is also extremely weak, she can at least communicate. He doesn't cry easily, he only cries when he is scared.
In contrast, Lan Yin felt that she could barely accept it.
It's just that he put countless thoughts into it, and Su Su was not happy every time she met him. Until one time, she suddenly and tactfully asked him not to force himself to come to the protection center to see him. Lan Yin noticed something was wrong, and after questioning, she found out that it was... He never smiled, so Su Su felt that he was forced to compete.
Lan Yin: ...
"I know that His Highness is a very good person. His Highness has done a lot for me. This is not a good person card. I mean, Your Highness really shouldn't force yourself -" Su Su was trembling and had not finished speaking.
Lan Yin showed a terrifying smile.
Su Su cried.
Then during the next visit, Su Su fell in love with Blaise, who had a cheerful smile.
Lan Yin: ...
"Your Highness, it's your turn." The dean walked into the conference room again. Because of Lan Yin's previous "criminal record of scaring the mermaid into tears", he warned uneasily: "Your Highness must be gentle and gentle."
Lan Yin said. Because he had withdrawn his thoughts, he nodded expressionlessly.
He stood up and went to the mermaid room where Su Su lived.
The mermaids in the sanctuary are all mermaids who have just come out of the mermaid nursery and are between adulthood and adulthood. It is also a place where humans choose mermaids and are chosen by mermaids.
The mermaid room is a room for mermaids. There is a huge pool in the room for mermaids to play and sleep. Fresh sea water is changed every day, and there are also special mermaid play facilities.
As the most precious natural mermaid, Su Su's mermaid room is the largest and most luxurious.
Lan Yin passed by Blaise without looking away and pushed open Su Su's door.
What was soaking in the water was an aqua blue mermaid, with its blue tail sparkling under the water and long silver hair flowing smoothly.
When Su Su saw Lan Yin, her shoulders shrank and she shouted in a low voice: "Your Highness."
Lan Yin said "hmm", thought for a moment, tried to make a last-ditch effort, picked up the inflatable ball on the side, and asked: "Would you like to talk to me? " Shall I play for a while?"
Su Su shook her head.
The atmosphere was silent.
Su Su also seemed to feel embarrassed and chose to sink into the water.
Lan Yin stared at the mermaid underwater and suddenly felt uninterested. Even if he got Su Su by some means, how could such a mermaid who was afraid of him be his wife?
never mind.
Perhaps the mermaid has begun to pay attention to the empire. The research institute has found another natural mermaid who has just grown up and is being quickly sent to the Emperor Star Protection Institute. The time should be coming soon. I heard that the mermaid had a great personality and was very courageous. She never cried once from the time she was found to the time she was examined and then delivered to her. She also enjoyed special treatment from humans and could eat three large bowls of dried fish in one meal.
Lan Yin recalled the news, her expression softened slightly, and she no longer cared about Su Su underwater. She turned on her optical brain and started to deal with matters.
As the crown prince of the empire, he has no fewer things on his shoulders than Blaise, or even more. These days, he has a lot of backlog for Su Su.
The mermaid room was extremely quiet for a moment, with only a slight movement on the water surface. The embarrassment was lost unconsciously, and the atmosphere was getting better.
Su Su carefully popped up her head and looked up at Lan Yin who was sitting on the edge of the pool.
His eyebrows are like a splash-ink scroll, his eyes are like stars flowing in the river, he is as handsome as a god, and unattainable. This is his first impression of Lan Yin.
In fact, when they first met, he liked His Highness the most, but he couldn't feel that Lan Yin liked him at all, and he never even smiled at him, so he gave up.
I don't know what kind of talent can make this His Highness show off his beauty.
...
When the time came, Lan Yin nodded politely to Su Su, turned around and left without any hesitation.
The dean who was waiting outside didn't hear anything. He thought it was because Su Su didn't dare to talk to Lan Yin that was why he was so quiet. After thinking about it, he tried to comfort their noble highness and said, "Another natural mermaid was found over there at the research institute. , It will probably arrive today, Your Highness, do you want to wait and see her?"
Lan Yin pondered for a while, he knew the news about the mermaid, but it will arrive today, and this speed is unexpected.
"Okay." Lan Yin nodded. He also wanted to see if the mermaid was as good-natured as the intelligence said, so he said, "I'll wait in the mermaid hall."
He walked away and met the secretary-general who was waiting in the corridor. Alvin hurriedly came up to him: "Your Highness, do you want to go back to the palace?"
Lan Yin always said concisely: "No, go to the Mermaid Hall."
The Mermaid Hall is a place where mermaids play together, and there are also chairs for humans to rest. Alvin was stunned. For a moment, I thought that His Highness decided to pick out the artificial mermaid in anger, so he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and followed immediately.
Before reaching the mermaid hall, there was a noisy and lively commotion not far away, and countless people's exclamations came over, attracting everyone's attention.
Alvin went over to take a look, and when he came back he said in surprise: "Your Highness, the newly discovered natural mermaid has arrived!"
Lan Yin paused, turned a corner, and walked towards the lively place.
Everyone knew His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and even though they were agitated and excited, they all avoided him when they saw him approaching.
Lan Yin was used to this kind of special case. The queen died after giving birth to only one child. He has been an unparalleled crown prince since he was born. He has the best food, clothing, and transportation. Except for his father, everyone needs to lower their dignity when they see him. head.
He should have been the best and happiest person in the world, but after the accident when he was nine years old, he lost a corner of his memory and he has been very unhappy. He just felt empty, as if something important was missing.
Lan Yin walked up to the mermaid and was slightly startled.
A large transport robot is transporting a huge glass tank. The red-haired and red-tailed mermaid inside is incredibly dazzling.
Her delicate and beautiful facial features are breathtaking, and her bright and dazzling red long curly hair is extremely smooth, growing to her waist, and the snow-white waist is thin and powerful. The fiery red fish tail, as hot as the brilliant sunset, shines with golden light, swaying lazily and gently, just like the lake water under the summer sunset, floating in gold and sparkling.
The extremely beautiful picture was so breathtaking that Lan Yin seemed to hear someone taking a breath.
Lan Yin frowned, quickly recovered, and looked at the mermaid in front of him, as if he was judging something.
The mermaid casually glanced at her, and her originally bored expression suddenly became excited. A pair of the finest emerald green eyes were clear and translucent, with a bit of wild beauty. At this moment, those eyes were staring straight at Lan Yin, like The cat saw the fish.
The mermaid began to slap the glass with her hands, and moved her mouth as if she was shouting something.
Lan couldn't hear it and was about to get closer.
"Crack - crash -"
there was a harsh sound of glass breaking, and then the water in the water tank gushes out crazily, chilling Lan Yin in an instant.
Lan Yin: ...
confirmed.
Quite brave.
Chapter 100 Brainless and Unhappy 2
The thick glass water tank suddenly broke into pieces, and most of the seawater poured into it gushes out like a spring. The people watching were startled
and took a big step back.
"Your Highness!"
Alvin was stunned for a second, and then stepped forward as quickly as possible.
The staff of the protection center who followed the natural mermaid were in a hurry. The deputy director asked some people to check the reason why the glass suddenly cracked, and some people gathered around Lan Yin to confirm the safety of their highness.
"Your Highness! Is Your Highness injured?!"
"I'm fine." Lan Yin frowned slightly and pushed away Alvin, who was so frightened that he almost lost his mind.
At the moment when he sensed the danger, Lan Yin used his mental power to wrap up the broken glass that sputtered out to prevent him from hurting other people. No one was injured, and he was only half doused with seawater.
The clothes I wore today were not waterproof, and my body was sticky and greasy. I could even feel water droplets rolling down my chest, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.
Lan Yin frowned a little and glanced at the red-tailed mermaid who seemed to have done something bad and was huddled in a glass tank with only half a tank of sea water left.
"What's going on?" Lan Yin took the towel handed over by Alvin and wiped it slightly. Although his expression was not obvious, anyone with eyes could see that their Highness was very unhappy at the moment.
Yes, this is an extremely precious natural mermaid, and the water tank it was transported should be made of the highest quality materials. Not only did it break for no reason, it almost hurt His Highness and the people, and His Highness was drenched in sea water.
After listening to the prosecutor's report, the vice president felt like crying. What does it mean that the material is okay? What does it mean that it may be caused by excessive internal impact?
This is a soft and frail natural mermaid! How is it possible to break hard tempered glass with just one slap? !
Everyone looked at the deputy director eagerly, as if they were not going to let the protection institute go unless they gave a reasonable reason.
Naturally, the mermaid is a treasure of the empire, so even if it is a temporary place to stay, it cannot be ignored!
The vice-dean wiped his cold sweat and said after careful consideration: "Your Highness, there is no problem with the material. It may be that there was an unknown impact on the way from Blue Star... We promise that this kind of thing will never happen again! The Protection Institute will definitely compensate Your Excellency Jian Yan for the shock he suffered, and we will also make corresponding compensation to Your Highness. "
Blue Star is the place where these two natural mermaids were found, and it is also the home planet of mankind.
Simple should be the name of this red-tailed mermaid.
"Yeah." Lan Yin responded coldly, returned the towel to Alvin, and glanced at the mermaid that was as dazzling as the most intense and blazing fire cloud. He always felt that the person who named him was a little bit coping with the matter, and a little bit more. An inexplicable sense of familiarity.
But he was pretty sure he had never seen this mermaid.
The red-tailed mermaid looked at Lan Yin without blinking, not caring about the compensation the vice-dean said. She was eager to try, as if she wanted to jump out of the big water tank and jump in front of Lan Yin.
The edge of the broken glass was sharp. Lan Yin's eyebrows jumped fiercely and she said sternly: "Don't come out!"
The red-tailed mermaid shrank back aggrievedly.
Alvin looked at Lan Yin and then at Jian Jian, and reminded him at the right moment: "Your Highness, why don't you go change your clothes first, and let the protection center move the mermaid to another place."
Lan Yin nodded.
The deputy dean immediately asked people to deal with it.
Lan Yin was about to change clothes, but as soon as he moved, a clear and sweet voice came from behind and stopped him: "You! Stop!"
Lan Yin stopped and looked back, and saw Jian Zhizhi looking at him. Looking at him, as if a little angry and confused, he asked: "Don't you recognize me?"
"I've never seen you."
Unexpectedly, the red-tailed mermaid became angry and said: "How is that possible! You even gave me my name, Hao JianJian! You really don't remember?"
Lan Yin: ...
Lan Yin felt that her taste should not be that bad, so she said again: "My original name was Chan. " Same, I don't like it, and then you gave me this name. You really don't remember it?" "
You may have mistaken the person. I have never been to Blue Star, and I didn't even see a natural mermaid a few months ago." "For the sake of being a mermaid, Lan Yin reluctantly answered patiently.
He moved his mouth briefly, thinking that he was not a natural mermaid, but because of the people around him, he frowned and swallowed.
Alvin saw that His Highness was in a bad mood and quickly came out to testify, saying, "Yes, Your Highness, our Highness only operates on the Emperor Star. He most often goes to the Border Star to condolences the soldiers fighting against the alien beasts. He has never been to the Blue Star. Do you admit your mistake?" Are you here?"
The people in the protection center looked at each other and stood up to prove it, coaxing Jian Jian to change places.
"It doesn't seem to be true. You don't even laugh, but that human child likes to laugh." He looked at Lan Yin briefly and murmured.
Realizing that Lan Yin was really different from
