A series of bubbles rose up from his mouth, bursting the moment they hit the ceiling.

Yin Chen opened his eyes, and in the instant he closed them, his eyes had completely transformed from deep blue to a deep, dark black. They were as deep as vortexes that could never let in light, and the occasional glimpses of dark blue gave his eyes a touch of the uncanny.

With another wide grin, Yin Chen instantly transformed from an innocent angel into a devil, and an inexplicable sense of danger made even the mermaid, with her naturally keen sixth sense, involuntarily avoid him.

The Mystic Bar isn't very big, only three stories high. Colorful, half-fish-sized bubbles float in the air, and tired mermaids can sit or climb on them to rest at any time. The designated seats on the four walls are fixed seats.

Aside from the bar counter on the right side of the entrance and the giant mirage screen playing music in the center, the entire central part of the bar is a dance floor from top to bottom, where mermaids can be seen floating in the air and swaying to the rhythm at any time.

Yin Chen stood upright, propelling himself forward only by the gentle flapping of his tail fin. The intense, swirling lights illuminated his deep, breathtaking features, and the muscular chest and neck that were sometimes visible beneath the collar of his white shirt often left the mermaids who happened to glance over momentarily speechless.

Upon seeing the golden fish tail, black hair, and black eyes, the mermaids could only turn their heads away in fright.

Behind the bar, a male deep-sea mermaid, shirtless with only palm-width gold armbands fastened to his muscular upper arms, leaned against the counter. An oval cocktail container spun rapidly in his palm, creating small whirlpools on the counter like miniature tsunamis.

The bartender mermaid had a black fishtail, deep blue peach blossom eyes, and dark brown hair that cascaded down her sides like waves. A half-smile played at the corners of her mouth, making her incredibly captivating.

He placed a glass in front of him, and without any apparent movement, the lid of the cocktail shaker was already open, and pearl-like beads jumped out. The bartender held the bottle high and elegantly flicked his fingers along the path of the falling 'pearls' with his free right hand. The pearls spun under the impact of the water and fell into the glass.

When the first pearl fell in, and the second fell in, it perfectly absorbed the first one, transforming it into an even larger pearl, and then the third, the fourth...

Finally, a glass half-full of indigo-red liquid was finished. Without those unsightly bubbles, the liquid had only a thin film on the surface, acting as a barrier against the seawater.

"Beautiful lady, I wish you a pleasant evening." The slightly husky, magnetic voice was so gentlemanly that it made the young mermaid woman blush. As she reached out to take the drink, the bartender casually hooked her palm with his little finger.

The female mermaid looked up and saw the bartender, who was known for his mischievous charm, wink at her playfully like a naughty child, then purse his lips and grin. That wicked smile made the female mermaid dizzy.

Just as the bartender was about to press his advantage and win over the little mermaid, a clear voice pierced through the noisy music and reached the two fish's ears: "Hey, Lan Qi! A Polar Storm, please."

The female mermaid immediately came to her senses, smiled, gave the bartender a flirty wink, and left nonchalantly with her glass in hand.

People come to bars to have fun, so it's normal to be teased or to tease others.

Lan Qi shrugged, unconcerned that her prey had escaped. Her deliberately seductive smile returned to its usual laziness. She casually picked up the cocktail she needed and put it into the cocktail shaker. Lan Qi casually said, "Brother Chen, has the kid you picked up woken up?"

"Hmm~!" Yin Chen nodded with a smile, scratched his cheek with a finger, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "However, I don't want to bring him here... If anyone tries to take advantage of him, I'll eat them up~!"

Lan Qi pursed her lips and said to Kasai, who had already finished three large bottles of wine at the other end of the bar without even turning red or out of breath, "I told you, Achen could hide the little guy so well, he couldn't have just brought him over casually."

“You’re just curious, I’m not taking the blame for this,” Kasai said calmly, then paused and added, “You’re late.”

As mentioned before, astronauts in this world return to their regular jobs after completing their space missions. Thanks to the mermaids' extremely long lifespans, unless they've been missing for more than five years, employers generally won't consider firing them...

When Ye Ling, Lan Qi, and Ka Sai were making a living, they settled in the Mystic Bar. Ye Ling, with her drunken singing voice, switched careers to become a singer halfway through. Ka Sai and Lan Qi didn't have any dreams of becoming stars. One continued to work as a bartender, and the other became a magician. The two fish have stayed in the Mystic Bar ever since.

As for Yin Chen... in the eyes of the two fish, Yin Chen was a guy who was even more mysterious than the boss.
