Princess Haixin could tell that Shen Binglan was talking about herself.
"Miss Shen, the envy I'm talking about is not this kind of envy."
After pulling back her bangs, Princess Haixin continued: "Do you know?
The memory of us sharks can only last for seven days, and every seven days passes, everything that happened seven days ago will be completely forgotten."
Shen Binglan was stunned when she heard this.
Seeing Shen Binglan's expression, Princess Haixin was not surprised at all.
"Just like the laws of heaven and earth among your human monks, no matter how high we, the Shark Race, are in our cultivation, we cannot resist the iron rule of seven-day memory. Fortunately, after hundreds of thousands of years of reproduction and advancement, we have developed a The secret medicine that can restore memory is called 'Sihua Nian'; the clan rules require that every Shark warrior must take 'Si Huanian' once every seven days, because in this way the entire clan can continue to become stronger and avoid being eliminated by other sea clans. .”
"Miss Shen, do you think that every shark is lucky to be able to take Sihua Nian?
Actually no, if it wasn’t for survival, no one would be willing to take this secret medicine.”
Hearing what Princess Haixin said, Shen Binglan asked curiously: "Why?
Is it because the secret medicine is damaging the body?"
"No."
Princess Haixin shook her head slightly, and then explained to Shen Binglan, "We, the Shark race, believe that only having a memory of seven days will lead to a happier life, because in this way we can forget the pain of separation and death from our loved ones, forget all the bad things in the past, and be able to live happily every day They live a carefree life; but in order to continue their race, most of the sharks must take Sihua Nian."
"Then you...do you also need to take it every seven days?"
Shen Binglan asked another question.
Princess Haixin seemed to be hoping that Shen Binglan would ask: "Miss Shen, maybe you will be surprised. Among the entire Sharman clan, I am the only one who does not need to take Sihua Nian because my mother said that the day she gave birth to me, she dreamed of a The most brilliant meteor in thousands of years fell into the sea, and then I was born. Therefore, my mother often said that I was a gift from the star god in the sky to the sea, a combination of the star god and the sea god, and the entire ethnic group also regarded me as the sea. Daughter, I hope that I can live happily every day, so that the entire tribe will thrive. This is why I am not allowed to take Sihua Nian."
"Then you are really lucky, so why do you still envy us humans?"
Shen Binglan returned to the original question.
Princess Haixin pursed her lips, trying to express a smile but unable to show it: "I also felt very lucky at first, except that every seven days I need my mother to tell me who my parents are and who my elders and brothers and sisters are. It was troublesome to wait, and later I asked Granny Dan to remind me about my engagement with Prince Wanyan; Miss Shen, you may not understand that our Shark race only has family ties, and every Shark is born to continue the race, such as me and Wanyan The prince's betrothal is the joint decision of the Sea Royal Family and the Shark Race to breed more powerful offspring. I didn't have any objections until..." At this point, Princess Hai Xin paused, her eyes fixed on the hand she put into Shen Binglan's hand. On the exquisite treasure box, an indescribable look flashed across his eyes.
"Is it related to this treasure box?"
Only then did Shen Binglan really notice the small box in her hand with simple, complex and beautiful carvings.
Princess Haixin did not respond directly, but instead asked Shen Binglan: "Miss Shen, I wonder if you have heard of a story. Once upon a time, a girl picked up a mysterious box at the beach. People advised her not to open it. She But he insisted on opening it, thus releasing the troubles in the world. From then on, the world no longer only had joy, but more sorrow."
"You want to say that this box was picked up by the girl in the story?"
Shen Binglan felt that Princess Haixin was joking with her.
Because this kind of story is too abstract and full of fables.
Princess Haixin still did not answer directly: "You will know after you open the box and take a look."
Shen Binglan hesitated slightly and pressed a button on the treasure box that was supposed to be the lock. She heard the clicking sound of the mechanical shaft. The lid of the treasure box opened automatically, and a delicate base was rotated inside like a masterpiece. The base was inlaid with a Small sound recording conch.
In Shen Binglan's surprised eyes, a sweet but resentful female voice came out from the audio conch.
After listening to the first few sentences, Shen Binglan could tell that this woman was telling a poignant love story of her own. Every sentence and every word contained a thousand twists and turns of love, which showed how deeply this unknown woman loved her lover. .
The story is tortuous, poignant, and deeply touching, making people cry when hearing it. Even Shen Binglan's heart was as solid as ice, and it was quite touching.
After listening to the whole story quietly, Shen Binglan raised her eyes and saw Princess Hai Xin's expression of envy, but also a bit of sadness.
"I picked up this treasure box somewhere at the bottom of the sea. This sister who recorded the story into a recording conch and then threw the conch into the sea made me truly understand what love is. I really envy her for being so Love bravely, even if you are bruised in the end. I admire her courage and feel sad for her. When I knew that there is such a thing as love, I decided not to take Sihua Nian anymore and decided not to marry Prince Wanyan. , I want to find my own love and touch, even if I spend the rest of my life I can’t find the one I love.”
After listening to Princess Haixin's confession, Shen Binglan fell into silence and finally understood why Princess Haixin was unhappy.
As her wedding date to Wanyan Xiyin approaches, and she is moved by the poignant story in the recorded conch, Princess Haixin's life trajectory is likely to undergo earth-shaking changes.
"Ms. Shen, thank you very much for your willingness to listen to my troubles. I wonder if you have anyone you like?"
The first time she heard Princess Haixin ask this question, Chen Xuan's face appeared in Shen Binglan's mind involuntarily.
She quickly gathered her thoughts to avoid triggering the Heart Burning Curse because of her emotions, but she had to ask herself, if she really had no fate with Chen Xuan as her master Wu Mengyao said, then why did she think of Chen Xuan in the first place?
Putting down this question, Shen Binglan thought of another important information in Princess Haixin's words, that is, the Shark tribe actually possesses a heaven-defying secret medicine to restore memory. If she can get a copy of "Sihua Nian", wouldn't she be able to confirm her master's secrets? Is what he said true or false?
This bold idea was immediately shelved by Shen Binglan. If she really had some kind of fate with Chen Xuan before she lost her memory, then as soon as she regained her memory, she would be in love and her life would be exhausted.
So Shen Binglan asked a question that she had wanted to ask just now: "Princess Haixin, before I answer your question, can you tell me the relationship between the Haixin Shark Pearl and your Shark clan?"
"Sea Heart Shark Pearl?"
Princess Haixin was slightly surprised, then shook her head and said, "I only know that Shark Pearl is the tears shed by us sharks. As for Haixin Shark Pearl, except that the name is similar to mine, I have never heard of it at all. What's wrong?"
"No..." Shen Binglan felt a little disappointed in her heart. Even the princess of the Shark Clan didn't know the existence of the Sea Heart Shark Bead. Maybe this kind of strange bead really has nothing to do with the Shark Clan.
"Miss Shen, you haven't answered my question yet."
Princess Haixin looked at Shen Binglan's pretty face expectantly.
"I will not be tempted by any man in the world."
Shen Binglan dispelled Princess Haixin's expectations with one word.
Next, the two of them chatted while taking the sea carriage, accompanied by the Sharman warriors and Wanyan Xiyin, to the ancient city of Adi. Shen Binglan had no idea that her fate would be closely linked to Chen Xuan again.
