A few days later, Si Xu arranged for Lin Jiu to meet with the Elton family.
Si Xu accompanied Lin Jiu. When they arrived, all the members of the Elton family were present.
They all looked at the two people who came in. The people of the Elton family only took one look and then all their attention fell on the long-haired young man.
The young man wore a black mask and had a slender figure and smooth, straight, black hair. Except for the wrong color of his eyes, his exposed eyebrows and long hair looked exactly like the mermaid announced by Country H.
The Elton family almost didn't need to confirm it anymore, this person was definitely the siren.
Old Elton was skinny and his cloudy eyes stared at Lin Jiu. He tried to stand up tremblingly. The blond middle-aged man next to him hurriedly supported the old man and stood up.
Little Lai Lei, who was sitting upright on the sofa, wearing a pretty little skirt and little boots, was very happy to see Lin Jiu. She jumped off the sofa and ran over.
Little Lai Lei lifted up her skirt and said shyly, "Lin, can you hug me?"
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu looked at the other members of the Elton family.
Lottie picked up her sister who was pretending to be a lady from behind and said, "Now is not the time to make trouble. You can be quiet."
Little Lailei agreed with Lottie's statement, "I was just kidding. I was just showing my closeness. We are a family."
When Xiao Lailei said this, her gem-like eyes stared at Lin Jiu, "Lin, do you want to become a family with us?"
Lin Jiu was stumped by the question.
The Elton family seemed a little nervous when they saw Lin Jiu, and they were trying to control their emotions.
A handsome middle-aged man with blond hair handed the old man over to the beautiful lady and walked over.
"Hello, I am Ansel Elton, the head of this generation's Elton family."
After Ansel introduced himself, he introduced the old man and the beautiful lady to Lin Jiu. The old man was Lawson Elton and the lady was Ansel's wife Natia Limo.
Lottie and little Lailei Linjiu already knew each other.
All members of the Elton family have arrived, and they just want to confirm whether Lin Jiu is the child's bloodline.
Lin Jiu introduced himself and Si Xu. He saw that the old man looked very weak and had difficulty standing.
"Let's sit down and talk."
Both parties sat down, and the Elton family looked at Lin Jiu expectantly.
Old Elton said something in an old voice. Lin Jiu didn't understand, but he could hear the caution and prudence in the old man's tone.
Ansiel said: "My father wants to confirm whether you are a siren."
In silence, Lin Jiu had already let the system test them to see if they really had the siren gene.
The system checked and found that all the Elton family members had the Siren gene. Even Ansel's wife Natia had the Siren gene, which surprised Lin Jiu. Did the Siren family internalize it
Lin Jiu looked at Si Xu, and Si Xu nodded. He would support Lin Jiu's decision.
Lin Jiu said: "I am a sea monster."
Little Lai Lei said excitedly: "Is the mermaid in the photo really you? You are so beautiful in your mermaid form."
Little Lailei touched her legs, obviously she had been fantasizing about her mermaid form for a long time.
Lin Jiu expressed his gratitude for Xiao Lailei's praise.
"That siren is indeed me. Now can you tell me why my mother is wandering outside?"
Ansel said apologetically, "I'm sorry, we want to confirm your identity with our own eyes. After all, what I want to say involves the secrets of our entire Siren family."
Ansel took out a bottle of water and placed it on the table.
Lin Jiu raised an eyebrow, "Sea water?"
Ansel's eyes lit up a little, "Yes."
According to ancient books of the Siren family, humans can only appear in Siren form when they encounter sea water.
Since he had already admitted his identity, Lin Jiu also cared about confirming it in person.
Lin Jiu reached out to take the bottle, but Si Xu took it away first. He unscrewed the bottle cap, poured some liquid on his hands, and confirmed that it was just water before handing it to Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu looked at him helplessly. Si Xu was worried that the liquid in the bottle would hurt him, but why would Lin Jiu worry about Si Xu getting hurt
Lin Jiu took the bottle and put his right hand on the table. He took a breath and then poured the sea water on his right hand.
Feeling the piercing pain, Lin Jiu tried hard to remain expressionless, but his slight expression still could not escape Si Xu's eyes.
When his right hand touched the sea water, it began to deform as if it was melting. His white and slender fingers quickly turned into webbed hands with slender bones and sharp fingertips. During the deformation, they could almost hear the sound of the bones compressing and extending.
With so much change, this process will definitely not be easy.
Si Xu pursed his lips and stared at the webbed hand, which quickly returned to its normal shape after leaving the sea water.
Si Xu swept the sea water on the table to the ground, worried that Lin Jiu would touch it again.
Lin Jiu exhaled slowly, "Can I tell you now?"
Everyone in the Elton family came back to their senses from their shock.
Ansiel suppressed his excitement and glanced at Sixu, "Can we talk to him alone?"
"No problem." Lin Jiu held Si Xu's hand, "He is my partner."
Si Xu's gloomy mood brightened up slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose.
Lin Jiu had no qualms about making their relationship public, which was very helpful to Si Xu.
The Elton family was shocked again.
Ansel glanced at their clasped hands and said, "If I remember correctly, you are only 20 years old this year."
Lin Jiu corrected him, "I will be 21 after the Chinese New Year."
Sobbing sounds suddenly broke out, and little Lai Lei looked at Lin Jiu and began to shed tears.
Lin Jiu: “???”
Little Lailei threw herself into her brother's arms, sobbing softly, "My boyfriend... is gone, wuwuwu..."
Lin Jiu: “…”
Si Xu: “…”
Even a little girl wants to steal his boyfriend
Lottie coaxed her, "A lady shouldn't be so rude."
Little Lailei tried hard to restrain her sobs, and with red eyes she reached out for her mother to hold her.
Natia took little Lailei over, held her in her arms and coaxed her. Little Lailei stopped crying and lay listlessly in her mother's arms, looking aggrieved.
Lin Jiu's face darkened. "I should be your brother. There is no possibility for us."
Little Lai Lei had just stopped crying when she started crying again, "We are cousins, we can get married."
Lin Jiu had a headache. How could such a young child have so much adult logic? Could it be because she had the strongest siren gene
The test results just showed that among the Elton family, little Lailei has the strongest siren gene. She will most likely enter the awakening state when she grows up. Without sufficient magic energy replenishment, she will follow in Su's old path.
Lin Jiu's hand was held tightly by Si Xu. Lin Jiu hurriedly comforted the man beside him and interlocked his fingers with him.
Lin Jiu knew that Xiao Lai Lei would not understand love, and the most likely possibility was that she liked or envied him in his mermaid form.
Lin Jiu said: "Lailei, you will become a cute little mermaid."
Little Lailei wiped her tears and said, "Really? Although we all have siren genes, no one of us can become a siren."
I really envy his siren form.
Lin Jiu said: "Times are different now. The radiation energy from the outside world is the energy we rely on for survival. When the energy is sufficient, you will become a little mermaid with blonde hair and a small golden tail."
Little Lailei opened her wet eyes wide, full of anticipation, and stared at her own legs.
Lin Jiu was amused. It seemed that she really wanted to become a mermaid.
After being interrupted by Xiao Lailei, Ansel had no choice but to say something else and told Lin Jiu about his mother's experience.
Ansel said: "We, the Sirens and the Haiga, have had the custom of intermarriage since ancient times."
Lin Jiu confirmed his guess that this matter was indeed related to the Haijia tribe.
"Several of our ancient tribes have records. We came here because of a great disaster. This is our original home, and we don't belong here. Generation after generation, the ancient tribes have been trying to find a way to go back. The environment here is suitable for us to survive. In order to survive, our ancestors tried every possible way, abandoning our pure and powerful bloodline. They could only intermarry with humans, and artificially thinned our bloodline time and time again."
This behavior continued for a long time. Among this ancient tribe, any person with pure ancient blood would die young, and only those with dilute ancient blood could survive. This made them continue to use the method of their ancestors and intermarry with humans.
The power of the several ancient clans is getting weaker and weaker. If this continues, they will definitely be assimilated by this world, and no one will remember their origins and identities.
Later, the ancient people were unwilling to give up their original identity, and began to try to save their increasingly thin bloodline. At this time, the Haijia tribe approached the Shanghai Yao tribe, planning to resume intermarriage, purify their bloodline, and restore the powerful strength that should have belonged to them.
The Haijia tribe went to the Sea Monster tribe, not only to purify their bloodline, but also to obtain the Magic Crystals in the hands of the Sea Monster tribe. With the Magic Crystals, if they had offspring with pure bloodline, they could rely on the Magic Crystals to prolong their lifespan.
The Haijia tribe has no magic crystals, or the magic crystals that the Haijia tribe brought with them have been used up, and they need magic crystals.
The Sirens can only rely on luck to produce a pure bloodline, but the Seagars can rely on magic crystals to strengthen the ancient genes and get powerful members, which is exactly what the Sirens do not have. After strengthening the ancient genes, they need magic crystals to replenish energy so that they can continue to survive, so the Sirens and the Seagars resumed intermarriage and helped each other.
Ansel said, "Intermarriage has been restored for many generations. In my grandfather's generation, intermarriage between the two tribes was still continuing. My aunt, your grandmother, Weiner, fell in love with a handsome Asian when the Haijia tribe came to ask for her hand in marriage."
Lin Jiu's grandmother was a very idealistic woman. She hated loveless marriages and did not want to be used as a tool for family marriages. She yearned for freedom and the right to choose her own love, and she refused to marry into the Haijia tribe.
But Vina's father was a very mediocre family head. The Haiga tribe was becoming more and more powerful, and he dared not offend them. What's more, his ancestors had already resumed intermarriage. He dared not break the rules, but he did not have the ability to break the rules. So under the coercion of the Haiga tribe, he married Vina to Vanluns of the Haiga tribe.
Before the marriage, Weiner tried to escape many times but to no avail. Weiner's father threatened Weiner with the life of the Asian man. Weiner didn't want to lose her lover's life, so she had no choice but to marry into the Haiga family.
Weiner was heartbroken that she could not be with her lover and her family also stood by her.
The marriage between Vina and Van Luns is just a means to maintain the interests of the two families. They have no feelings for each other. Vina does not want Van Luns to touch her, and Van Luns also lacks women around him. They live in the same manor, but they are not related to each other.
Two months later, Weiner learned that she was pregnant. She knew who the father of the child was, which gave her a glimmer of hope in her gloomy life. She told her father the news, hoping that with his help, she and Van Lance would divorce. However, the fact that she was pregnant with someone else's child would definitely anger the Haijia tribe, and then the entire Siren family would be angered.
Weiner's father was very angry and was also afraid that the Heijia family would know about this. He threatened Weiner again that if she let Van Luns know about this, the Siren family would indeed be angered, but the first ones to die would definitely be the Asian man and the child in her belly.
Weiner was really scared. She wanted to give birth to the child first before considering leaving the Hejia family. She used the excuse that Van Luns had too many mistresses, had a big quarrel with Van Luns, and moved out of the Hejia family manor in anger and lived in her own manor.
Weiner secretly gave birth to a child there, and carefully hid the child with a peasant woman for foster care. She tried to contact her beloved and wanted to escape from this place with him and the child.
When Weiner arrived at the agreed location, all he saw was his lover's hanged body.
Weiner thought her father had betrayed her, so she didn't go back to her manor, didn't contact the Siren family, and fled with her daughter overnight. She wandered around with her child, and no one knew where they went. Every time they got news about them, they had already moved away when people arrived.
A few years later, Van Lance announced that he would accept the child as long as Weiner came back.
The Siren Family has endured the wrath of the Hejia Family for several years and has long been dissatisfied with the Hejia Family. Vina's lover was killed by Van Luns, but the blame was put on Vina's father, which led to the separation of Vina and the Siren Family. This made Vina's father angry and regretful.
More than ten years later, Van Luns finally caught Weiner. Van Luns forced her to tell him where her child was. Weiner knew very well that once her child was found, he would definitely die alive. Weiner hated them so much. She hated the Haiga tribe and the Sirens tribe. Van Luns killed Weiner in an extremely cruel way.
When Weiner's father heard the news, he fell ill and died not long after.
His sister died tragically, his father passed away from illness, all of these were engraved in Lawson's heart. He hated the Seagar tribe, but was powerless to fight them head-on. He had been enduring silently, waiting for the day when the Sirens would become stronger.
Lawson did not propose to the Haiga tribe. He secretly gave birth to a child with an ordinary woman, and that child was Ansel.
A few days after Ansel was born, his mother was killed in her bedroom. The child escaped under the desperate protection of his tribesmen.
Ever since the death of Vina, the Sirens have been persecuted by the Haiga. Since the Sirens completely broke up with the Haiga and stopped intermarrying, the Haiga began to wantonly capture the young descendants of the Sirens, especially the Sirens women. The Haiga kidnapped them and made them give birth to offspring with pure blood for the Haiga.
Not only the Elton family, a branch of the Sirens, but even the Limo family, a branch of the Sirens, were implicated and almost failed to survive.
The Limo family came to the Elton family for help, and the two families reached an agreement and decided to marry and join forces to fight against the Haiga tribe.
Ansel married Natia, the daughter of the Limo family, and was able to give birth to such excellent children as Lottie and Lailei. Both of them have strong siren genes, and they have become the hope of the entire siren clan.
The biggest hope of the two families now is to raise Lottie and Lailei to adulthood, especially Lailei, who has encountered danger many times and was raised to this age with great difficulty.
Lawson never gave up the search for his sister's descendants, especially since it was a girl. Lawson was particularly worried that she would be found by the Haiga tribe first.
Lawson's health was getting worse and worse. His only obsession was to find the child. Although he dared not die, he was afraid that he would not be able to explain to his sister after his death. He had held on until now, but now he was exhausted.
Just a while ago, they finally got accurate information that Weiner might have sent the child to Country Z. The Elton family then secretly applied to enter the country to find their relatives.
Unexpectedly, they didn't find the child, but they found her descendants.
Ansel said: "The Haijia tribe will not let go of any mermaid with pure blood. We are very worried about your situation. They will find you sooner or later. We hope you can be safe."
