Ginger Egg, who didn't want to work, popped its head out of the seawater. The black down on its head was wet and stuck to its head, making the two forked little horns on its head even more obvious.

Standing atop Lingxi's enormous head, Jiang Si saw it reflected in the seawater. With her eyes lowered, she raised a finger at it: "You stinky egg, I'm starting the countdown, 9…6…5…"

Jiang Dandan: "???"

Is this how you count?

Isn't it ten tones?

Why are you counting in a skipped order?

It's really... cowardly.

It was just a lowly tool dragon.

What can you do when faced with a domineering aunt?

Be a little sycophant, a lackey.

Jiang Dandan tried her best to raise her little face in the sea, opened her mouth and made a babyish noise, flattering and bargaining at the same time: "My lovely and charming aunt, the sea is so wide, it will take at least three minutes."

Jiang Si's counting stopped abruptly, and she changed the subject: "Okay, you have 5 minutes to start your performance!"

Jiang Dandan gave a haughty snort, then plunged headfirst into the sea, its long tail tip peeking out briefly before disappearing.

Lingxi swayed its snake body.

Jiang Si jumped from its head onto the willow tree and looked at it: "You want to go too?"

Lingxi's enormous snake head flicked its tongue and nodded.

Even snakes tens of meters long are nothing compared to those in the deep sea.

However, since it wanted to go, Jiang Si naturally wouldn't stop it: "Go ahead, but be careful. Merfolk can bewitch people, and they have strong mental power and powerful physical strength. Don't get beaten to death by them."

Lingxi: "..."

It is a scaly snake, a scaly snake.

Even creatures with long claws can transform into dragons.

What are mermaids anyway? What are they?

Lingxi hissed, indicating that she understood.

Jiang Si waved to it.

Lingxi plunged headfirst into the sea, its body, several tens of meters long, surfacing before disappearing back into the water.

The blue sea stretched to the horizon, the sky was clear and the waves shimmered. The salty sea breeze ruffled Jiang Si's hair as she waited, silently counting the time in her mind.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes had just passed when the calm, deep blue sea began to stir. Fish and shrimp began to surface belly up, and these fish and shrimp were quite large.

Before long, apart from where she was standing, the surrounding area was filled with the corpses of fish and shrimp, piled up in a dark, endless mass.

This scene reminded Jiang Si of the time when she was among the merfolk, sailing the seas, and there had been a similar moment, a brief encounter between Yan Liu and Jiang Dandan.

Now… Jiang Dandan is showing her again that the dragon is the absolute overlord of the animal kingdom, and even if it is a young dragon, no one can shake its dominant position.

Especially in the vast ocean, its dominant position is even more prominent. Those who do not submit to it will most likely end up belly up and die.

Just as Jiang Si was wondering when Jiang Dandan would appear from the sea, it darted up, moving with lightning speed, and landed on her shoulder. It nestled against her neck and rubbed its soft little face against her, saying, "My lovely and charming auntie, the rest is up to you. Don't say you've seen me before, I'm invisible!"

Besides making fish and shrimp turn belly up, what else did it do?

Jiang Si was completely bewildered and was about to ask a question when, with a splash, Ling Xi appeared beneath her feet, using her head to push her feet up and lift her several meters above the sea.

Immediately afterwards, water columns shot up from all directions, each column being several meters thick and several meters high, and... a mermaid stood on each column.

A long fish tail, seaweed-like hair, beautiful large fins, and a delicate face.

The mermaid wore a gauze skirt covering her upper body and a pearl skirt covering her lower body.

The male merman had a bare upper body, with scales covering his abdominal muscles. The scales shimmered and gleamed in the sunlight.

The leading female merman's voice was as powerful as the sea as she questioned Jiang Si: "Who are you, and why are you provoking my deep-sea mermaid clan?"

Jiang Si retorted, "Weren't you a merman? How did you become a deep-sea mermaid?"

The leading female merman narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing Jiang Si from head to toe: "You know mermen?"

Jiang Si nodded: "I know a little about it from rumors, but I haven't had any contact with them and I'm not very familiar with them."

The lead female merman's eyes flashed with wariness: "Since we're not familiar with each other, why provoke us and kill my deep-sea fish? What do you want?"

Jiang Si smiled slightly: "I don't want to do anything, I just want to talk to you about a cooperation, and after we finish the cooperation, I'll ask you for passage."

The leading female merman snorted coldly: "Cooperation? This is Earth, not the Abel Galaxy. You come from the Abel Galaxy, so we will absolutely not cooperate with you."

"Be smart and leave now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

Jiang Si raised an eyebrow: "I come from the Abel Galaxy. You don't cooperate with me, just like your ancestors went to the Abel Galaxy to become mermaids."

"Because he couldn't stay in the Mermaid Clan and missed his homeland too much, he returned to Earth, dominated the ocean, and was called the Deep Sea Mermaid by Abel because he cared about the Mermaid Clan."

"What, you don't want to cooperate with me? You're not content with dominating the oceans, you also want to dominate the land. Isn't that a bit too greedy?"

The lead female merman's voice turned cold: "Since you already know that we are mermen, then you should know that Earth is my home. Whether I dominate the ocean or the land in my own home, it has nothing to do with you."

“What a coincidence, Earth is my home too.” Jiang Si stood her ground, her domineering aura overwhelming: “If you want to dominate the oceans and land, you’ll have to ask me for permission first.”

"You're asking for it..."

"You can give it a try..."

The leading female merman, provoked, unleashed a water column behind her, soaring towards Jiang Si: "Die!"

Jiang Si stood motionless atop Lingxi. A massive, towering column of water hurtled towards her, but was blocked by an invisible, transparent shield, preventing it from reaching her at all.

She retorted to the merman, "Is that all you've got?"

As soon as Jiang Si finished speaking, the clear blue sky was suddenly filled with lightning and thunder, and dark clouds loomed overhead.

Jiang Dandan: "!!!!"

Wow!

There are bigger ones too?

Can they summon wind and rain?

Dad, going out to explore the stars and the sea is so exciting!

Jiang Si looked up at the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, dark clouds loomed overhead, and mermaids were manipulating the lightning and clouds.

Not bad, as expected of a legendary creature, it really does have some skills.

Jiang Si lowered her head and looked at the merman: "Are you serious?"

The merwoman smirked: "Scared?"

Jiang Si waved her hand, and the water column that had been hitting her dissipated, falling back into the sea: "I'm not afraid, I just want to make sure that whoever has the stronger fist gets to do what they say!"

“You’re right!” The merman’s lips curled up even more fiercely: “You said Earth is your home, so I suppose you came to us because you want to develop Earth together and rebuild Earth’s civilization.”

"Okay, but you have to show me your strength first. I don't want to cooperate with a weakling."

Jiang Si exclaimed in surprise, "You mean you can represent the entire Merfolk race?"

Mermaid: "Of course!"

"Even so, to catch the thief, you must first catch the king, so I'll take you down first." As soon as Jiang Si finished speaking, she directly summoned lightning from the sky to strike the female mermaid.

The merwoman's expression changed, and she quickly dodged.

Lightning struck beside her, exploding into the seawater, sending seawater splashing dozens of meters high.

Ginger, not content with just going all the way, summoned thunder and lightning.

And it's not just one or two examples, it's many.

The crackling lightning not only surrounded several merfolk, including the female merfolk.

After the area was cordoned off, lightning struck, and for a time, it was incredibly lively.

Jiang Dandan: "..."

Harmful!

There are no big ones.

That scared the dragon to death!

The merfolk who were manipulating lightning in the distance stared dumbfounded. The lightning they were controlling hadn't struck the intruders, but instead had hit their own people.

They tried to remove the lightning, but found that it wouldn't obey their commands at all, and instead continued to exert its power, summoning even more lightning.

Ten minutes passed.

Only the merman who controlled the lightning removed it.

The leading female merman and the mermen she brought were almost chopped to a crisp.

Jiang Si said to the merman whose hair was steaming, "Little merman, can we talk about cooperation now?"

The mermaid's exquisite and beautiful face was covered in black ash: "You cheated?"

Jiang Si's eyes turned cold: "Little mermaid, you're going back on your word. Are you trying to get yourself into trouble? Do you think I'm too easygoing and can be toyed with at will?"

The merman snorted at her harshly, "We merfolk are the native inhabitants of Earth. You, an outsider from the Abel Galaxy, want to take over Earth's land and ask for our help? Don't even think about it..."

Before the mermaid could even utter the word "want," Jiang Si grabbed her neck.

The merwoman's pupils constricted, and she raised her hand to retaliate.

Jiang Si anticipated her counterattack and tightened her grip on her neck.

Her retaliatory hand seemed to have all its strength drained away, unable to even touch her.

Jiang Si grabbed her by the neck, forcing her head back: "I've told you so much, but you can't make the decision. Where is your merman king? Summon him for me!"

The merwoman, gasping for breath as she was being choked, flailed her fins wildly: "Who are you?"

In response to her question, Jiang Si sneered, grabbed her, and pushed her directly into the seawater.

The salty seawater filled my mouth and choked me in my nose.

Other merfolk were coming to rescue her.

Lingxi's enormous tail stirred up the seawater, surging towards the merfolk.

The king of the sea has now become a small fish that can be easily overturned.

One, two, countless blows—the female merman nearly became the first merman to drown in the sea.

Jiang Si pulled her out of the sea: "Little mermaid, I have no intention of making enemies with you, I just want to cooperate with you, but you two are not as good as you, you don't keep your word."

"Now, I'm giving you two choices: either go and find your merfolk king, or I'll just kill you all."

The merwoman, panting heavily, asked, "What exactly is this 'cooperation' you're talking about?"

Jiang Si loosened her grip slightly: "Rebuild the Earth, rebuild our homes on land."

“We can’t help you,” the merman said directly. “You rebuild your home and recreate your civilization on land; we can’t help you in the sea.”

"You've come to the wrong place. Deep-sea merfolk don't come ashore."

Jiang Si pressed down on the female merman: "I know you deep-sea mermen don't go ashore, but your tails can transform into feet, just like ordinary people."

"You will marry into the merfolk of the Fourth Civilization, have children with them, and discuss reproduction plans with their leaders."

The merwoman paused, her gaze shifting downwards to the conch-shaped gold bead bracelet on her wrist: "Are you a merfolk from the Abel Galaxy?"

"No!" Jiang Si followed her gaze and glanced at her wrist, revealing the golden conch shell bead. No wonder she misunderstood: "I am human, a member of the Huaxia race!"

The merwoman continued, "Do you know any mermaids?"

Jiang Si smirked and released her: "I not only know the mermaids of the Merfolk race in the Abel Galaxy, but I also know your Merfolk Spring!"

Upon hearing this, the mermaid exclaimed, "You know Quanjian?"

Jiang Si nodded slightly: "Yes, I know her, that's why I know about your existence."

The merwoman fell silent.

Jiang Si remained silent, keeping her company.

After a moment, the merman asked, "What do you need us to do to rebuild your home on Earth?"

Jiang Si loosened her grip, helping the merman to her feet. "You are the kings of the sea, and we will build our home on land. We don't need you to do anything; we only need you to provide something."

"For example, robots transferred from the Abel system, materials purchased, are just transferred through you, that's all!"

The merwoman paused for a moment: "How...how did you know that there's a portal in our deep sea that connects to the mermaids of the Abel Galaxy?"

Jiang Si smiled slightly: "I guessed right. Now, I'll take you to meet my people. Don't worry, we'll pay for our own things; you don't need to pay."

The mermaid was at a disadvantage, and her opponent possessed the Conch Golden Pearl and knew Quanjian. So she led a few of her people and followed Jiang Si toward the land.

Mermaids are the kings of the sea, and their swimming speed is unmatched.

Lingxi was a little tired, but she was unwilling to fall behind. With the added support of Jiang Si's mental strength, she didn't lag behind them by much.

It took three hours to get there and an hour and a half to return.

Upon reaching land, the mermaid's beautiful fishtail transformed into two long legs, encased in a pearl skirt, swaying gracefully, incredibly beautiful.

The other male merfolk had their tails transformed into legs, dressed scantily, with strong muscles and prominent abs.

The merwoman looked on with amazement when she saw the companion spirit on land and the tree that had transformed into a human.

Thinking to himself, "Humans...have they become so outstanding already?"

“These are my people!” Jiang Si introduced her companion spirits to the merman: “Nearly 2,000 of them. We are going to rebuild civilization on Earth and purchase the most advanced planetary defense system from the Abel system!”

"These things all have to be transported from the deep sea of ​​your Merfolk tribe to here."

To protect Earth and prevent it from being bullied, we must defend it. Only by defending Earth can we ensure that anyone coming to Earth can enter with permission. Once inside, we must install a tracking system to track whether they do bad things or not.

The merman suppressed the amazement in her eyes: "Okay, but we have to agree that you are limited to land and are not allowed to venture into the ocean."

Jiang Si nodded: "Of course, the ocean is yours, we only want the land."

The merman extended her hand to her: "It's a deal!"

Jiang Si squeezed her hand back: "It's a deal!"

After the two shook hands, Jiang Si explained her plan to the companion spirits and the trees that had transformed into humans. After she finished speaking, the companion spirits had no objections.

Jiang Si nodded: "Okay, you build Earth here, I'll go back to the Abel system, find my daughter, and come back with my son."

The companion spirit A asked worriedly, "Master, you don't have a ship to return to the Abel system, how will you get back?"

Jiang Si patted her shoulder: "There's a way to get back. You two should discuss where to build the central city, and then list out what you need to buy."

The other creatures responded with a "yes," and nearly 2,000 people went to discuss it.

Jiang Si glanced at them and returned to the merman: "Little merman, I know that in addition to the teleportation portal, you also have a forbidden passage connecting to the Deep Sea Ruins of the Merfolk in the Abel Galaxy. I need to return to the Abel Galaxy and borrow your Deep Sea Ruins forbidden passage!"
