Chapter 281: Shark's Gauze and Shark's Pearl
Before he could react, Jiumei jumped up first.
"How dare you say that?!" Jiu Mei was incredulous, "Why didn't I realize you were so shameless before?"
"Name someone who can beat me and is willing to fight me." Mo Ze stood still like a mountain.
Jiumei was choked.
"...Well, not really."
Jiumei thought deeply for a while and said angrily.
Seeing Jiumei being humiliated, the young man stepped forward and gave him a comforting hug.
"You are still the best, Amao..." Jiumei suddenly became like a chicken with its blood pumped up. With tears in her eyes, she rushed into the boy's arms and rubbed the boy's shirt back and forth.
Mo Ze couldn't stand this greasy look and rolled his eyes.
He felt something and looked at Mo Ze.
Sure enough, the next second Mo Ze waved at him and started kneading his face.
Later he found out that Mo Ze didn't dislike being touched, but he hated the so-called lust.
"He hates being swayed by emotions and thinks it is a muddy and confusing thing." Jiumei shrugged. He did not agree with Mo Ze's point of view, but he did not comment.
For Jiumei himself, he really enjoys being able to indulge his body and mind in the waves of emotions, and the feeling of being out of control as the waves roll, not knowing where he will drift to tomorrow - this means that there will be different surprises every day.
But Mo Ze is different. He is born with the ability to see through everything in the world. No matter how sophisticated the disguise is, it all loses its meaning in front of him. Although he admits that "love" is indeed interesting, he has never thought of indulging himself in it.
Therefore, he is quite resistant to others touching him with things tainted with love.
This was a disgrace to him.
Jiumei didn't stay with them for too long. He sent them out of his territory and left calmly.
According to Mo Ze, the nine mountains and eight ridges they passed by in the past few months belong to Jiumei's territory. Jiumei is the most powerful demon tribe in the land, no doubt about it. Some demon tribes will choose to attack humans after occupying the territory, but Jiumei, a nine-tailed fox that has lived for 20,000 years, has already learned how to coexist with all things, including humans.
And Jiumei seeing them off was also a way of fulfilling his duty as a host.
Mo Ze didn't talk too much, and he didn't ask any more questions. After all, Mo Ze would always tell him when he was interested.
He encountered many different kinds of... monsters? Or gods? He couldn't make a conclusion.
Mo Ze had little acquaintance with humans, but he was more familiar with many mountain gods and monsters. However, most of them were not kind, but rather had deep prejudices against him.
They thought that Mo Ze was cruel and violent, and he did things his own way, which made him very unpleasant. But when they faced him, they showed some kindness, so they didn't know what to say.
But deep down he didn't think so.
He felt that Mo Ze was very reasonable.
For example, in the South China Sea a month ago, they were passing by, and Mo Ze suddenly wanted to ask the mermaid in the sea for something, so he called it out.
A beautiful woman with sharp teeth emerged from the sea, looking at them with her dark pupils.
"I want a piece of mermaid silk and a mermaid pearl from a clam." Mo Ze stretched out his hand and took it.
It seemed like the first time that the beauty faced such a straightforward request. She looked at them with surprise.
At this time they were on the sea, quite a distance from the land - at least from this direction they could not see the coast no matter what. It was heard that mermaids had a voice that could bewitch people and the power to stir up the waves.
If a dispute occurred here, I'm afraid ordinary people would have difficulty surviving.
Mo Ze accommodated him, knowing that he didn't want to be held in the arms of others, so he asked for a fisherman's boat and set sail in a low-key manner.
The merman was completely unable to see through Mo Ze's abilities and was only attracted by his appearance, finding it difficult to look away.
The mermaid was quite surprised after hearing Mo Ze's matter-of-fact tone, and even suspected that there was something wrong with this human's brain.
But soon, the king of the mermaids came, more beautiful than the ordinary mermaids, like the hazy moonlight at night, bright and soft. The king of the mermaids waved his hand to let the confused subjects retreat, and faced Mo Ze himself.
"What do you want the mermaid silk for?" The Mermaid King obviously knew Mo Ze.
"Because I want to." Mo Ze said coldly, not feeling that he needed to explain anything.
“…I’m sorry, I can’t agree to this.” Seeing his expression, the Mermaid King shook his head.
Mo Ze's eyes seemed to be frozen instantly, and the temperature around him dropped sharply. The cold wind blew, and even frost formed on the sea surface.
"Not giving it to me?" Mo Ze bit his lips, staring at the Mermaid King with his cold golden eyes. The suffocating feeling of oppression was as irresistible as a mountain.
"I--"
Before the Mermaid King could say anything, Mo Ze had already grabbed his throat.
"If you don't give it to me, you will die." Mo Ze didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with him.
"I know that it takes a hundred years to weave a piece of shark yarn, and ten years to condense a shark pearl. I don't want more, just one piece and one clam, which only takes a few hundred years. But you are unwilling to give it to me."
Mo Ze didn't give him a chance to quibble and spoke slowly, not thinking there was anything wrong with him at all.
"You...what's the difference between this and robbery? How is it different from those humans called bandits?" The Mermaid King's face was already flushed as he struggled.
"I'm just trying to steal, so what?" Mo Ze said confidently, "Don't try to provoke me with humans. If you don't give it to me, I'll kill you."
"If I—"
"Then I will go find your wife and children. You have three children, right? The youngest is only two hundred years old." Mo Ze was calm and composed, and his other hand suddenly pointed down.
Instantly, the sea surface split into a long and hideous canyon, and the seawater was split by an invisible blade, spreading all the way to the abyss of the seabed. The boat that Mo Ze was riding on was floating motionless in the air. Looking down, the mermaids hiding in the deep sea were clearly visible. Their unique bodies were special even in the sea, and they were clearly visible.
And further down, there is endless darkness.
"I asked them for it. If they don't give it to me, they will die. Even if you all die, I will get what I want." Mo Ze's tone was calm as if he was telling a truth -
The weak eat the strong.
It was the first time he saw Mo Ze like this, domineering, cruel, and intolerant of resistance... The golden eyes as dazzling as the sun actually had no temperature, but were just too beautiful, making people always ignore the evil nature of its owner.
"Uh……"
The Mermaid King nodded and agreed as quickly as possible.
He had no other choice, and Mo Ze didn't have the patience to wait for him to struggle.
Looking at the mermaid's shark gauze and shark beads presented by the mermaid, he leaned over to take a look with some curiosity, but he didn't expect that Mo Ze would directly put the shark gauze on him.
"You are so arrogant and rob people like this." The Mermaid King was a little angry. His throat was pinched and he felt uncomfortable all the way. He couldn't help but say sarcastically.
"You treat those humans the same way." Mo Ze didn't even bother to give him a single glance. "If the humans near the sea don't hand over enough clams and sea urchins, won't you threaten them with floods?"
“You—?!” The Mermaid King didn’t expect him to say this and looked at him in shock.
"Are you standing up for those humans? But we are stronger than them. If they need my help, they should naturally bow to us." The Mermaid King thought he was going to intervene and said.
"No." Mo Ze counted the mermaid pearls in the clam shell. Only emperors could get a few of them, but he already had over a hundred of them in his hands. Although he only wanted a dozen, the Mermaid King, for some reason, increased the number tenfold.
"If you think about it this way...you are stronger than them, so you can oppress them, and I am stronger than you, so I can naturally oppress you." Mo Ze counted enough, and handed it to Xiao casually, raising his eyelids with a smile, "Why, the roles are reversed, are you dissatisfied?"
The Mermaid King naturally didn't dare to speak out directly, and only looked at the silent owl who was just counting his beads: "You followed him here, how could you stand such a temper?"
He looked up blankly, glanced at Mo Ze who didn't care, then looked at the Mermaid King, and said slowly: "I think... it's pretty good."
"Okay?" The Mermaid King seemed to have heard something ridiculous. "He, is this... okay?!"
As the Mermaid King gestured, he realized that he was talking about Mo Ze's threat, but he didn't think too much about it. He just said, "But that's because you didn't give it to him."
The Mermaid King was speechless and stared at him for a long time without uttering a word.
What words?
What is this word? !
It seems like when this bandit leader comes into my house, I have to invite him politely and get him to give me the things he wants to steal?
Who is this? ! !
Not only did the Mermaid King not understand his way of thinking, even Mo Hanyu didn't understand it.
"Are you a little too..."
He is too partial to Mo Ze.
Mo Hanyu didn't say it.
Because Qin Xiao's eyes showed confusion.
"Maybe." But this time Qin Xiao did not refute, and nodded, "Maybe it's because he took me on such a long journey, and let me see that the world finally has colors?"
Before Mo Ze brought him out of the mountains, the world in his eyes was colorless.
In the dark iron cage, the world was black and white, except for the splash of blood from Qian;
When Mang Ling and I were surrounded in the valley, the world was dark and even the flames on the torches were just flickering white light;
When I arrived at Mangshan, I was accompanied by those illusory ghosts day and night, so naturally, I had no other colors in my eyes.
Until the moment that snow-white figure appeared.
The world finally escaped from black, white and gray, adding a touch of shocking golden light.
Although there was no change in the first few days after Mo Ze took him away, he gradually became interested in the creatures around him and developed an emotion called curiosity.
When he first asked Mo Ze about an inconspicuous green plant, he didn't think he would get an answer.
But he got it.
Mo Ze casually preserved the color of the plant and inadvertently left more tones.
This made the world in his eyes begin to shine.
The green leaves tremble in the breeze, the clear stream gurgles, the colorful fish in the water are like flowing gems, flashing the light of life... All of this, like countless colorful fragments, piece together the originally gray world and make it look brand new.
Maybe Mo Ze didn't notice.
Or maybe he just doesn't care.
But it doesn't matter, that's enough that he cares.
A hint of smile appeared in Qin Xiao's eyes, and the soft and moist emotions made Mo Hanyu feel quite complicated.
Feeling his fingers being slowly tightened, Qin Xiao came back to his senses, looked into those blue eyes, and smiled: "I was distracted."
"You are thinking about him." Mo Hanyu said firmly.
"Not accurate." Qin Xiao couldn't help rubbing his head and said with a smile, "I was thinking about that world."
