Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 294 The Imprisoned Mermaid (13)

It was not until the evening that Molly began to feel unwell.

Dry and thirsty, especially the legs feel a burning and stinging pain from lack of water.

Molly opened her eyes and rolled into the water tank with great pain, which quickly relieved her discomfort.

Reg was not in the room and there were no lights on.

Molly found that her hair was braided into a long braid, tied at the end with a red ribbon, and dotted with shiny pearls.

It's easy to guess who wrote it for her.

When braiding his hair, I only know how to braid small braids, but when braiding her hair, I braid it into a big pigtail like this.

Originally, the hair could cover the body when it was loose, but now the entire upper body is exposed to the view.

Molly let her hair down and threw the pearl ribbons all over Reg's bed.

Suddenly I caught a glimpse of two golden comb teeth on the water surface, leaning against the edge of the water tank.

It fell out from the scales under her body.

Molly held the comb teeth floating on the water in her palm. It was probably not appropriate to hide it in the fish scales, so Molly hid it in the gap under the head of the bed.

When Reg came back, he saw the tank was full of the mermaid's long golden hair.

As the sun sets, the soft warm orange light shines on the water tank, the water surface shimmers, and the golden underwater is interspersed with glittering blue.

Brilliant colors flow in the water.

Reg admired it for a while, then looked up and saw white pearls scattered on the red velvet quilt.

Reg: “…”

The man stared for a moment and then sneered.

A fish without vision.

Reg picked up the pearls on the bed and said to Molly, "Maybe these pearls contain the tears of your kind."

Molly ignored him.

Reg squatted down and knocked on the fish tank: "What are you doing in there? Come out and chat."

Molly turned her head away, looking as if she didn't want anyone to bother her.

"You don't like pearls? What about gemstones?"

Reg stood up, fished Molly's hand out of the water, took off one of his rings and put it on Molly's index finger, but it was blocked by the short web between her fingers.

Molly couldn't stand it any longer, so she surfaced and threw the jewel ring at Reg.

"Don't touch me."

Reg stared at Molly for a moment.

"why?"

The smile on Reg's face faded slightly. He reached out and grabbed the back of Molly's neck, pulling her in front of him.

"Clarin, why is your temper worse than mine?"

Molly was speechless: "My name is not Clarin."

"Oh, I forgot."

Although he said that, Molly felt that he clearly did it on purpose.

"Molly."

Reg uttered Molly's name slowly, staring into her eyes, his eyes showing no sign of hiding his desire for Molly.

The cold and smooth scales under his palm felt great, and Reg's fingertips slowly rubbed them.

Molly was rarely angry, and slowly said, "Are you looking for a ghost ship?"

The change of topic made Reg narrow his eyes: "Did you hear us talking?"

In the afternoon, Mark and Reg talked about the ghost ship.

The crew members were a little tired after not even seeing the ghost ship for such a long time.

In fact, Reg went out to sea this time to look for the ghost ship.

Legend has it that the ghost ship is loaded with antiques worth thousands of gold and silver treasures. Whoever can find the ghost ship will gain assets that are rich enough to rival a country.

The wealth attracted countless navigators, but none of them gained anything, and some even lost their lives.

It wasn't until last year that someone claimed to have seen the legendary ghost ship in a certain sea area.

As a sailing enthusiast, Reg would naturally not miss this opportunity.

Regardless of whether the rumor is true or not, Reg wants to find out.

But it has been a whole year since we went out to sea, and we have not encountered the legendary ghost ship.

This voyage lasted longer than any other time, and many of the young sailors on board were a little tired.

Although they intercepted several merchant ships along the way, they were at sea for too long and couldn't help feeling homesick.

Many people on the ship, including Reg, were heading for the ghost ship, and everyone wanted to divide the money on the ghost ship.

Even though they didn't find the ghost ship, they did manage to capture the legendary mermaid, so they didn't return empty-handed. Reg felt the trip was worthwhile.

"I know where the ghost ship is."

"Let me go, and I'll take you there."

Molly tilted her head, a movement that made her look just like the papillons kept by the noble ladies in the palace.

But mermaids are much more interesting than papillons.

Reg sneered.

What is the difference between releasing fish into the sea and releasing tigers back into the mountains?

He is not stupid.

Molly said, "We mermaids always keep our promises. If we swear an oath before the Sea God, we will be punished by the Sea God if we don't keep it."

Reg sneered, "Poseidon? Which one? Poseidon? The man who's as much of a stud as Zeus? It's just a story written by the Mycenaeans. How could you mermaids actually worship him as the god of the sea?"

Why not a big wave come and kill this man?

Molly: "...We should respect the Sea God on the ocean."

Reg chuckled. "Don't worry, he's busy sending Dolphin to chase his target. He has no time to deal with us."

Molly: “…”

Although Molly was just protecting her image as a mermaid.

But why does this person speak without any regard for what he says?

Anyone who comes here will be sprayed by him.

Especially asking for a beating.

Molly gave a forced smile: "The sea god should pierce your belly with his trident and skewer you for barbecue."

Reg: "Barbecue doesn't smell as good as grilled fish."

Molly didn't want to engage in such boring talk with him and glared at Reg.

Reg now likes to see her angry.

"So, where is the ghost ship?"

"Why should I tell you if you won't let me go?"

"I can find it even if you don't tell me."

Molly glanced at him and said, "You can't find it. The ghost ship is not on the sea."

"The ship isn't on the sea? Is it on the bottom of the sea?"

Molly fell silent.

Reg raised his eyebrows. No wonder they had been drifting on the sea for so long. Not to mention the ghost ship, they hadn't even seen a ghost. It turned out that they were on the bottom of the sea.

Molly glanced at Reg's expression imperceptibly.

Idiot.

The ghost ship is nothing more than a hometown legend told by sailors while they were bored drifting on the sea and chatting.

Those who said they saw a ghost ship were just seeing a mirage.

But there was one thing Molly wasn't lying about.

There is indeed a shipwreck on the seabed, and there is a treasure chest full of gold coins in the cabin.

In the original owner's memory, when he went hunting with his tribe, he saw a large shipwreck, and it looked like it was quite old.

"I'll take you there if you let me go," said Molly.

Reg released Molly's hand from the back of her neck and splashed water in her face.

Molly: “…”

"Miss Molly, you underestimate yourself."

Reg pulled the corners of his mouth, leaned his strong arms on the edge of the water tank, and played with her wet golden hair in his hands.

"You are what I want more than a ghost ship."

"You are my treasure."

"I won't let you go."
