Chapter 137 A Night with Joey


    In the dark night.


    ——


    ??The sound of the door opening was hidden in the soft sound of the waves, making it difficult to detect, but this was obviously not concealed from Xia En''s sensitive perception.


    He quickly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the door.


    The existence of [lightless touch] enables him to see in the dark.


    The moment he saw the scene at the door clearly, Xia En was slightly startled.


    The person who walked into the room was none other than the twin sisters who had led the way during the day, Lulu and Lily.


    But unlike their mermaid forms during the day, the lower bodies of the sisters now turned into human legs, slender and straight, and covered with a white gauze of unknown material.


    ?However, it can also be clearly seen that they are not very accustomed to this pair of human feet, and they stumble when walking.


    ?So that we can move forward slowly by supporting each other.


    “You two, this is...”


    Xia En vaguely guessed the purpose of their night visit, but he still took the initiative to speak out.


    “Ah! Captain Shane, you’re awake.”


    Lulu''s voice was soft and waxy: "But it just so happens that the sacred and great rituals can only be performed when you are awake."


    Lily also giggled and said: "Captain, this is the custom of our Siren Islands."


    “Who made the number of male descendants born from our Sirens to be too small? For the continuation of the race, there is nothing we can do about it.”


    “In the past few times, other sisters took the lead, but this time it’s finally our turn!”


    ?Xia En’s eyelids twitched, and his heart was quite shaken.


    After all, he is a normal man, and it is normal to have some needs.


    ??Furthermore, he is very self-aware of his self-control. The last time he declined the proprietress of [Wind Wave Tavern] was his limit.


    Now just break into the room like this...


    Can you resist the temptation?


    ?Although Xia En wanted to answer confidently—


    “I’ll withstand it!”


    But his body didn’t seem to think so.


    ?However, Xia En still wanted to struggle and asked: "Speaking of which, what happened to your legs?"


    “Oh? That’s what you said!”


    Lulu explained: "This is our family''s special magic potion, which can allow the hybrid sea monster to temporarily move on the shore."


    Lily agreed: "My mother also said that this magic potion can also increase the probability of pregnancy, otherwise just one night will definitely not be enough!"


    These twin mermaids are Natasha''s daughters, so they have the priority to hold the ceremony.


    "I see."


    ?Xia En frowned, and his fiery heart gradually cooled down.


    There is nothing wrong with solving the needs, but he does not want to leave a few illegitimate children in the Siren Islands.


    After all, it is impossible for him to stay on the Kraken Islands. There is a high probability that he will leave after visiting the ancestral land of the Kraken.


    In this way, the child will be born without a father.


    ?Due to some experiences in his previous life, Xia En is still quite resistant to this kind of thing.


    ?Lulu heard Xia En''s sudden cold tone, but she misunderstood and said in surprise.


    "Could it be that...Captain Shane actually prefers the mermaid form?"


    Lily whispered softly: "I heard from the sisters on the island that some humans do have this special hobby. By the way, what is that organ called?"


    “…It seems like you are venting something?”


    “What a weird name! Men have really weird tastes!”


    Listening to the conversation between the two sisters, the corners of Xia En''s mouth twitched slightly.


    ?Before he had time to explain, there was another set of footsteps outside the door.


    “Mr. Captain?”


    “Lulu and Miss Lily!?”


    ?Outside the door, Joey opened his eyes wide and looked at the three people in the room.


    “What do you want to do to Mr. Captain!”


    Out of some intuition, Joey looked at the twin sisters in an aggressive manner, with the intention of taking action to defend Mr. Captain.


    “Not good! I was discovered by this little sister!”


    “What now?”


    “It’s our fault to steal food, run away!”


    Without saying a word, the two sisters ran away staggeringly. Then they jumped into the sea with two "plops" and soon turned into two mermaids and swam away.


    “Hey! You guys...”


    ??Joy chased him for two steps, but in the end he didn''t chase her into the sea, and soon returned to Shane''s room.


    At this moment, Xia En suddenly noticed something strange and looked at the girl with silver hair and red eyes with strange eyes.


    No, why did this little girl come to my room in the middle of the night?


    Could it be that…


    ??Joy also realized that his behavior was a bit strange and quickly explained.


    “Aunt Natasha told me too much information during the day today. I couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night, so I wanted to chat with Mr. Captain.”


    In fact, this is a lie!


    The reason why Joey did this was actually because Feiya reminded her before going back to the room.


    “If you don’t want the captain to be caught first by your sisters, you’d better watch him at night.”


    That''s why Joey broke into Shane''s room in the middle of the night.


    Xia En naturally didn’t know what was going on, so he just nodded and said, “I understand.”


    “I actually have some guesses about your mother.”


    “According to your description, the place where you lived when you were a child may have been a large research institution.”


    “But the question is, why is your mother among them?”


    “Is it because of the special nature of the Siren’s bloodline?”


    ??Joy also had a look of thought on his face: "The Siren''s bloodline...the specialness..."


    Suddenly, she suddenly recalled some fragmentary memories.


    “Storm Goddess! It’s the Storm Goddess!”


    “Storm Goddess?”


    “I remembered that when I was a child, there seemed to be a statue of the Storm Goddess standing in that room, and from time to time, songs in praise of the Storm Goddess would be heard.”


    ??Joy said very quickly.


    ?Hearing this, Xia En''s expression also changed slightly.


    Because, he thought of a legend about the Storm Goddess—


    Before she became a real god, the Storm Goddess’s true form was a powerful siren!


    His name is taboo, also known as the [Oldest Siren]!


    The reason why he had not thought of this legend before was simple.


    There have always been different opinions on the origin of the gods in the Seven Seas, and the "Siren Theory" is only a legend that is not very widely circulated.


    Even in the eyes of some believers of the Deep Sea Church, this statement is a blasphemy and slander against the Storm Goddess!


    It is a kind of speech that may result in being beaten if you talk openly about it.


    Originally, Xia En was only half-convinced about the "Siren theory" and had no intention of exploring it in depth.


    —What is the true identity of the Storm Goddess, and what does it have to do with a little captain like him?


    But now, once this legend is connected with Joey''s suspected imprisoned mother, it is not difficult for Shane to draw some terrible inferences.


    “Diana is a genius that has not appeared in the Siren clan for thousands of years.”


    “Does this mean that her bloodline is extremely pure, even close to her ancestor [the oldest siren]?”


    "Assuming that the ''Siren Theory'' is true, then the person who took Diana away was definitely not for her."


    “Their real target is the Storm Goddess!”


    In an instant, a huge wave surged in Xia En''s heart, which could not be calmed down for a long time.


    ??In this world where the power of gods can actually play a role, there are actually a group of people who dare to plot against gods!


    ?Furthermore, she is currently the storm goddess who holds the most powerful authority on the Seven Seas!


    ?This conjecture alone is shocking enough!? ? ? Joey is a smart girl. She quickly thought of the same direction as Xia En, and she couldn''t help but look in disbelief.


    “This, this is too…”


    Xia En calmed down and asked: "In your memory, did your mother leave that white room with you?"


    ??Joy tried hard to remember for a while, but after a while, he could only say in frustration.


    “I don’t remember…”


    “I just remember that I seemed to be swimming and swimming in the sea, and finally I was picked up by a captain.”


    “If mother was still there…”


    ??Joy''s tone was confused and helpless, with a touch of uneasiness.


    Obviously, these people who dare to plan the Storm Goddess are definitely not ordinary secret travelers.


    ?They are tolerant, powerful, mysterious, and patient. Because of this, they dare to have such a big plan.


    Finding the place where he once lived and his mother seemed to have become an unattainable dream.


    But at this moment.


    A warm big hand fell on Joey''s head.


    "It''s fine."


    ??Joy heard Shane say firmly and softly.


    "I will take you to find the room in your memory, even if...that is not your real hometown."


    “As for those who plot against the gods, if they dare to block my steps, I will crush them together with the [Black Swan].”


    ?Joy raised his head in confusion: "Captain..."


    ?Suddenly, there was a rustling sound outside the door.


    It was like a siren was whispering.


    “Isn’t it over yet?”


    “No wonder...that captain has a good-looking face and is so strong. Lulu and the others must be addicted to it!”


    “Next, it’s my turn, right?”


    ?Shaan: “…”


    Did you really take turns co-authoring?


    Thinking about it, there are very few ships that dare to enter the misty sea, and even fewer of them will come to the Siren Islands.


    ?Finally, we waited for the boat, but there was only one man on the boat - Fei Ya''s appearance became an excellent disguise at this time, causing the sirens to misunderstand.


    Should we not seize every opportunity to perpetuate the race?


    ?At this time, Joey smiled and said in an inexplicably brisk tone.


    “It seems that Mr. Captain is really popular!”


    “However, I don’t plan to leave tonight.”


    "…ah?"


    ?Shaan was stunned for a moment. Before he could say anything, he saw Joey sitting down next to the door of the room.


    ??The girl casually made a small lighting spell, lighting up a corner of the room, and then read a handwritten magic book there, and soon entered a meditative state.


    When he saw the light in the room, the voice of the siren outside the door quickly became low.


    They muttered words such as "stingy" and "what a pity" and gradually walked away.


    Seeing this, Xia En shook his head helplessly, lay on the bed, and quickly fell asleep.


    …


    …


    A dreamless night.


    ?Thanks to Joey''s care, although there were sirens passing by Xia En''s door one after another last night, none of them entered the door.


    ?However, what surprised Xia En.


    Last night, the leader of the Kraken, Natasha, seemed to have stopped outside the door for a while?


    The aura of secret power on her body is very unique, and Xia En can easily distinguish her from other sirens.


    ?This made Xia En feel happy but also a little regretful.


    All in all, my mood is quite complicated.


    ?However, we always have to look forward to the future.


    After breakfast, Xia En returned to the [Black Swan] under the resentful eyes of all the sirens.


    “Miss Lulu, please lead the way for us.”


    ?Standing on the deck, Xia En looked at the Kraken on the sea not far away.


    "yes…"


    ?Lulu’s voice was weak, she glanced at him faintly, and then swam toward the center of the archipelago with Lily next to her.


    The Kraken Islands, as the name suggests, is a community composed of several islands.


    The "ancestral land" Natasha refers to is on an island at the core of the archipelago.


    Lulu and Lily, the twin sisters, are responsible for leading the way for the Black Swan.


    Ann noticed the strange attitudes of the sirens and wrote curious words.


    Master Captain, why do they look at you so strangely? 】


    "well…"


    ??Xia En sighed: "Forget about this, let''s discuss the place where the ancient dragon is suspected to have fallen in the center of the archipelago."


    “Xiange, what do you think?”


    “Let me take a look…”


    Xian Ge flew to the mast and looked towards the central island, her nostrils twitching slightly.


    “It does have the smell of cologne, but it seems to be mixed with a lot of impurities.”


    “Hmph, in terms of blood purity, you can’t compare to me!”


    ??Xia En ignored the second half of the sentence as usual, his eyes shining slightly.


    After being certified by the Bronze Dragon String Song, the credibility of the name [Place of the Ancient Dragon’s Fall] has almost reached 99%.


    ?This is a great opportunity to collect materials!


    But at this moment, Xian Ge said again: "No... something is wrong!"


    “Damn it! There is a secret power of blasphemy and pollution in this smell of dragon’s blood!”


    “Who dares to desecrate the ancient dragon’s corpse!?”


    Its voice, as tender as a girl''s, was filled with strong anger for the first time, and the power of the dragon around it seemed to expand.


    Xia En frowned slightly: "What does blasphemy mean?"


    Xian Ge fell on the deck next to him and explained: "For us ancient dragons, peeling off the scales of the corpse, cutting off the flesh and blood, and picking off the bones is not considered sacrilege."


    “After all, the weak eat the strong, and it is inevitable that the defeated will become the enemy’s spoils of war.”


    “Even in barbaric times, we would use the corpses of our own people as weapons against our enemies.”


    “But things are different on that island!”


    Xiange looked at the island that was getting closer and closer, with anger in his eyes: "The secret power of pollution is trying to degenerate the ancient dragon into a crazy and deformed existence."


    “Without a doubt, this is blasphemy against Him!”


    “Captain Shane, in the name of Bronze Dragon String Song Maya, I implore you to help him to be liberated.”


    As he spoke, Xian Ge lowered his noble head and performed a ritual belonging to an ancient dragon with his claws and wings.


    Looking at Xiaolong, who was rarely serious, Xia En nodded solemnly: "I will do my best."


    ???? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????


    Suddenly, water splashed on the sea near the Black Swan.


    A five- to six-meter-long jet-black strange fish suddenly emerged from the sea.


    ?Its majestic body surface is impressively covered with dragon-like scales, covered with dark green patches, and its sharp teeth flash coldly in the light.


    The next moment.


    ?The strange fish pounced on Lulu, the sea monster closest to it!
