Fei Rui seemed to notice her confusion and grinned widely. His smile had always been that pure and innocent, so when he smiled it seemed as though the poisonous fog around them had been purified.
Fei Rui continued to hug his knees as his eyes turned to the black pearl in the middle of the poisonous fog. He took a deep breath, then said, “Around a millennium ago, there was an extremely poisonous snake that fell in love with a female.”
Gu Mengmeng’s face darkened and instantly she assigned the characters.
An extremely poisonous snake… Little shit.
A female… Wang Xiaoxin.
The people in the legend were people she knew, and this really disrupted her interest in the story.
Forget it, it did not matter whether it was a legend, she was just going to treat it as a gossip and listen.
“But that female did not love him. She had even… hated him, despised him, and even wanted to kill him.”
Eh?
Gu Mengmeng was stunned. This version of the story obviously did not match reality.
Gu Mengmeng did not forget the scene when little shit and Wang Xiaoxin reunited that day.
One of them said with an emotional gaze, “I hate you so much, why did you make me wait so long?”
The other replied lovingly, “Sorry, I am late.”
Even if Wang Xiaoxin had not set things up for a thousand years to revive little shit and lure her to search for the seven treasures, and even involved her own son, just these two sentences that they said were sufficient to show the loving relationship they had.
Even if it was not deep love, it should still be an unforgettable one. How could they not be in love but hate each other instead?
This was not logical, really not logical.
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and said, “Did you remember wrongly?”
Fei Rui looked at Gu Mengmeng with a look of confusion, and shook his head seriously, saying, “There are not many legends in the ocean, especially since the mermaid tribe had been the protector of the ocean for many generations, I couldn’t have remembered this legend wrongly.”
Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips. She felt that she had many doubts and could not resolve any of them. She could only lift her arms and say, “Alright, then continue, I shall listen.”
Fei Rui nodded and continued, “Even though the female was highly reluctant, the snake beast was very domineering and oppressive and he was very strong. In order for her partner to not find her, the snake beast tied her up and hid her in the ocean.”
As Fei Rui spoke, he turned to look at Gu Mengmeng, and said, “The big bubble that Melinda had made for you was passed down from a thousand years ago. That time, the snake beast had also made such a big bubble for the female, so that she could move freely and breathe underwater.”
Gu Mengmeng laughed dryly and thought, move freely and breathe? What kind of freedom was it to be watched over in a restricted area? That should be being jailed…
And in such a deep ocean, there was no chance of escaping at all.
Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips and thought, with little shit keeping Wang Xiaoxin in captivity like this, no wonder he was being detested.
“The snake beast said that whenever the female was willing to become partners with him, he would let her out. But the female really detested him. No matter what he did, she refused to become partners with him. The more he forced her, the more she retaliated so that she could escape.”
“Then… in order to escape, she accepted a mermaid as her partner.”
When Fei Rui talked about this, his eyes dimmed.
Gu Mengmeng did not know the reason for his disappointment and only patted his back lightly, while giving him a warm smile.
