As soon as he let go of his hand, An An immediately turned back and continued to stare at him.
The young man was helpless, and out of jealousy, he originally wanted to play tricks on the mermaid who could be with An An, but after being tortured like this by An An, he just wanted to go to the beach quickly.
Thinking like this, the boy moved faster.
For safety reasons, the boy chose a very secret route, so he arrived at the beach three days later than Lan Ze.
Lan Ze received An An, and his heart that had been hanging for three days finally settled.
"I owe you a favor. If you have a chance in the future, just call me." Lan Ze said sincerely.
The young man ignored the mermaid's words, just rubbed An An's head and said, "Goodbye... Troublemaker."
After saying that, the boy turned around and entered the jungle without even a second thought, transformed into a giant python and crawled away.
An An held Lan Ze's head and looked at it for a few times, then rested her chin on his shoulder as if she was relieved.
Lan Ze reached into An An's skirt and touched it. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "There's no bleeding anymore. Let's go back."
An An didn't respond and followed Lan Ze into the sea as quietly as a doll.
…
From then on, Lanze never set foot in the City of Beasts again, and lived a peaceful life on the island with An An.
More than two years passed in the blink of an eye. An An gradually lost her childishness and grew into a graceful girl - she was already sixteen years old, and according to the age of a female in the beast world, she was already an adult.
She was lying on the green grass with small white flowers, turning her head to stare at a flower swaying in the wind. As she looked, she suddenly discovered that fine pollen floated out of the flower's stamens, blowing towards her face with the wind.
An An got up as if frightened and avoided the pollen.
It is a male flower that floats to the female flower, and the female flower will bear fruit.
She doesn't want to grow fruit on her body.
"What's wrong?" Lan Ze immediately ran over, hugged her, and looked around, but didn't see anything that could hurt An An.
An An was always frightened easily, so Lan Ze got used to it and carried her towards the coast.
"We're going to the sea today."
An An looked at Lan Ze's face seriously, with curiosity in her eyes.
Lan Ze opened his mouth, but did not say anything, but his face turned red. He avoided An An's eyes and looked at the sea intently.
After blowing a bubble at the beach, Lan Ze took An An and dived into the bottom of the sea.
The light gradually dimmed, but fortunately Lan Ze was prepared and placed a huge light bead in the bubble.
An An began to feel uneasy, holding the light beads in both hands and facing Lan Ze's direction.
After diving for a long time, the sea has completely darkened. With human eyes, it is difficult to see anything. Only a star-like light point can be seen moving in the darkness.
Gradually, a clear light appeared in the darkness, and the star was heading straight towards the light.
An An's eyes opened wider. After staying in the darkness for a long time, the pupils dilated and were able to capture more light, and the bright light became as bright as tomorrow.
She patted the bubble twice as if urging. Lanze smiled and said, "We're here. That's our home in the sea."
Under An An's urging body language, Lanze pushed her closer to the light source.
It was a carefully carved stone cave, small on the outside but big on the inside.
Dozens of palm-sized light beads were inlaid on the wall. The light pouring out from the cave entrance was just the tip of the iceberg, and the cave was as bright as day.
An An, who was indifferent, also made a "wow" mouth shape the moment she came in.
