For the clumsy wizard Pailiu to speak so coherently, it's clear how much of a shock this kid must have suffered. The black market boss's... tsk tsk tsk... must have been something Pailiu simply couldn't bear.

"There should be two more days, just bear with it a little longer." Yu Ling's tone was so relaxed that it gave Payu the feeling that she could take him away soon, and his mindset immediately calmed down.

Because Yu Ling is so skilled at transformation, she is now full of confidence in her future survival in this world.

Although his long period of transformation cannot compare to his original form in life, in this world, using the merman body of the villainous original owner to transform, what finally emerges must be a powerful demon.

If we convert it according to the rules of the fairy tale world, it would be a top-tier monster, the kind of final boss that heroes face on their journey to rescue the princess.

Once they transform into human form, they'll already be at the pinnacle of combat power. Dealing with this kind of... shady underground force will be a piece of cake.

"Don't worry, wizard. Aren't you just afraid of being auctioned off? Even if I can't beat that black market boss, I'll have enough gold to buy you. I'll find a way to take you away."

Yu Ling's words were truly domineering and full of confidence!

Look at all the treasures the system threw into the storage space—there are so many, not a single one is given to any future humans who might try to salvage them.

Especially those mountains of gold coins, hehe, you can't spend them all! You simply can't spend them all!

Unlike the system, which is a poor, stingy entity that takes stock of its treasures every day, Yu Ling doesn't care about anything that can't be used by his main body, or... anything that can't help him survive in the next world.

Spending some gold coins to buy a wizard to serve him in the future is quite worthwhile. The fact that the protagonist of this world, a heartless but ambitious guy, is willing to take the tongue-tied Pailu with him to trick the original owner of the merfolk means that Pailu will definitely be very useful in some ways.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Merman. If it weren't for you, I would have been..." I would have been tricked by the King of the Kingdom of Lunke until I was completely ruined, and I might even have been given away to other powerful figures because of my face... [—thoughtfully censored—] It's just too terrifying!

"Don't worry, don't worry." With that, the doll Yuling bounced back to its familiar spot—on Pai Liu's shoulder.

This is the angle...

Hmm~ Just by turning your head, you can see some places you shouldn't be looking at.

Fortunately, the cotton body prevented him from having any extraneous thoughts, and he could calmly accompany the poor, unlucky wizard in the room while he waited to be auctioned off.

The room contained many items used on him, and the other decorations were... in short, clean, smooth, soft, and supple.

As Yu Ling observed the room, she gradually revealed a look of understanding and exclaimed in admiration, "The humans in the fairy tale world are quite ingenious!"

With Yu Ling by her side, Payi Liu felt as if a light had been emanating from her heart. The two chatted together for about three to five hours before finally a row of heavily armed black market guards arrived, escorting the black market boss into the house.

"Hey, look what I see! A mini mermaid! The wizard leader said that you would be happier with this doll, and it seems that's true. It hasn't been long, and you look much better, little wizard."

The black market boss, who was speaking, was teasing. His face was covered, but his physique was visibly amazing. Those muscles, wow! Those long legs, wow! Those broad shoulders and slim waist, incredible!

He was wearing a very cool, thin steel mask with fangs engraved on it, which matched the look of a villainous character in the background.

He looks completely out of place with the kind of villainous, ruthless, and terrifying boss that Pai Liu described, one who wears a villainous filter.

"You're the owner here? How many gold coins are you planning to sell him for?" Bored while waiting, the doll Yu Ling, who had been perched on Pai Liu's shoulder, sat up, looked at the black market owner, and asked the question that was currently on his mind.

You can't just boast that you can definitely bring the person out, only to find that they haven't transformed yet, you can't beat them in a fight, and you don't have enough gold coins to buy Payiru, can you?

This is so embarrassing!

"Hahaha, what? You want to buy your wizard back? His face will cost at least 30,000 gold coins to bid, you little monster."

The black market boss looked at the cursed doll, which seemed to possess intelligence just like a human, and was quite curious. As he spoke, he took the doll Yu Ling off Pai Liu's shoulder, held it in his hand, and kneaded it like dough, playing with it while looking it over from all sides.

That's great, buy one get one free, it should sell very well.

Even if those nobles are too poor and the final price they get is not ideal, leaving them with nothing, it would still be nice to keep this face and this lovely free gift for themselves.

"What? A mere 30,000 gold coins? That's nothing! How about you sell him to me now?" said the doll Yu Ling. He kept swatting away the fingers that were squeezing the doll, baring his teeth and claws at the black market boss, but he was completely harmless and extremely cute.

He has at least several hundred thousand gold coins in his storage space. After converting them into universal gold coins, the value can double again, making it easy for him to buy a Pai Liu priced at 30,000.

"Really? Of course not, this is just the starting price. But it seems your monster is quite wealthy, so I can raise the price on the spot."
