Mermaid Town

"Little boy, if you want it, just come and get it yourself."

Hearing Yu Youqing's words, Gu Lin looked down at his little fish tail, frowned and said: "But Brother Yuyu, the cub has no legs, how can I pinch it?"

Yu Youqing: “…”

Brother Yuyu...!

Yu Youqing was still in a daze, while Gu Lin, who was smart, had already stretched out his short hand to Yu Youmian beside him: "Uncle doctor, can you carry the baby over to get little Pearl?"

He had lost his calves and couldn't walk, so if he wanted to get over there, he had to ask the doctor to carry him over.

Yu Youqing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, with a hint of teasing on the corners of his mouth.

Yu Youmian was slightly stunned, and stared at the little mermaid cub for two seconds. Seeing that the cub looked like he was waiting to be held obediently, he was silent for a moment, then walked over, put Gu Lin back into the basket, and carried him to the glass wall.

Seeing Yu Youmian's action, Yu Youqing sneered, and the sarcasm in his eyes became even stronger.

Gu Lin was very obedient, and had no objection to being promoted.

There is a square hole in the glass wall, big enough for an adult's arm to fit through.

This secret room is like a prison, without sunlight, and Yu Youqing is the only mermaid trapped inside.

He didn't know how long he had been trapped here. He was filled with hostility and his skin was as white as if he hadn't seen the sun for years.

Gu Lin put his little hand into the hole and spread out his white and tender palm facing upwards.

Yu Youqing was about to put the pearl into his little hand, but hesitated, suddenly took back the pearl, jumped back, and rushed into the water.

“Plop——”

Water splashed everywhere.

Yu Youqing surfaced again, already one meter away from the glass wall.

Not getting the little pearl, Gu Lin looked up at Yu Youmian with a silly and cute face.

The kid was very good at reading people's expressions. When he saw Yu Youmian didn't say anything, he silently withdrew his hand and held his other hand to ease the embarrassment.

Yu Youqing's lips curled up into a smile, and her slender fingertips pinched the pearl that turned into a tear: "Little friend, do you know what this is?"

Gu Lin answered the other party's question obediently, his voice crisp and tender: "Little Pearl."

Yu Youqing tilted his head: "If you take the pearl transformed from the mermaid's tears, you must abide by the contract. Are you sure you still want it?"

Gu Lin didn't understand the evil of human nature, and asked curiously: "What kind of contract is this?"

Yu Youqing's mouth showed cold evil:

"Take my place, become the new merman, and be trapped here forever."

Gu Lin was not afraid when he heard this, but told the other party sincerely: "The doctor said that after the Mermaid Festival, we will send the baby back home."

Yu Youqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "You are such a naive baby. You believe whatever your doctor uncle says. How do you know that he didn't lie to you and you didn't even know he was sold out?"

Gu Lin hugged his little arms and said, "Uncle Doctor will not sell the baby. He even sewed a small bib for the baby."

Yu Youqing: “…”

Yu Youmian: “…”

There's really no need to specifically mention the little bib.

Gu Lin's logic was very simple. There seemed to be no conflict between selling him and sewing a small bib for him. However, he thought that Yu Youmian was doing him a good deed by sewing a small bib for him, and if she was doing him a good deed, she would not sell him.

Yu Youqing was stuck for even longer this time, as he couldn't imagine Yu Youmian sewing a little bib.

The little mermaid in front of him had a very unique way of thinking. Its answers often caught him off guard and frequently left him speechless.

Yu Youqing sneered and said, "Of course he won't sell you. After all, he wants to replace me as the new mermaid and the new source of serum. I guess that secondary mermaid named Zhuang Mu won't be able to provide serum for much longer."

Yu Youmian remained silent and cold, and did not say anything to interrupt Yu Youqing.

Perhaps Yu Youqing had been staying here for too long and couldn't find anyone to talk to, so he had a strong desire to talk.

Even though the cub in front of him was obviously less than two years old, he was not a good person to talk to.

Yu Youqing swam over slowly again, lying on the edge of the pool, looking at the little mermaid baby: "I have been trapped here for as long as the Mermaid Town has existed. The Mermaid Town was not called the Mermaid Town before, but Yujia Village. The reason why Yujia Village has become rich is thanks to you, the doctor uncle."

His words were full of hostility towards Yu Youmian, and his words could be said to be a direct attempt to sow discord between them.

But he apparently overlooked the fact that the cub in front of him was less than two years old.

Gu Lin was not interested in anything else but the little pearl. The doctor brought him here to get the pearl. When he saw that Yu Youqing would not give him the pearl, he didn't want to stay here anymore.

Moreover, he felt that Brother Yu Yu, whether it was the way he spoke or the smile on his face, made people feel uncomfortable, but he couldn't explain why, he just didn't like Brother Yu Yu.

Gu Lin hadn't eaten yet, so he said, "If you don't give me Little Pearl, I'll go back and eat."

Yu Youqing: “…”

Yu Youmian was also stunned.

Yu Youqing didn't know what to say anymore, and he obviously realized that this kid wasn't a good person to talk to.

At this time, Yu Youmian took out an apple from his pocket and threw it into the hole.

Yu Youqing jumped up quickly and caught the apple that was thrown in.

When Yu Youqing received it, she pouted in disdain: "I don't wash it, and I don't peel it."

Yu Youmian said coldly: "You can choose not to eat."

Although he was disgusted, Yu Youqing also understood his current situation. He took a bite of the apple, and the sweetness of the apple made him look happier.

After eating the apple, Yu Youqing handed the pearl to the entrance of the cave.

Gu Lin looked at the small pearl that was handed to the cave entrance, but this time he did not take it immediately, for fear that Yu Youqing would take it back.

Seeing that Gu Lin refused to take it, Yu Youqing placed the pearl at the entrance of the cave, then rushed back half a meter, eating an apple while waiting for Gu Lin to take it himself.

Gu Lin hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his little hand and picked up the little pearl.

This pearl is still emitting a light blue luster.

Gu Lin looked at the little pearl from left to right, very surprised.

After getting the little pearl, Gu Lin remembered that he could pass the level after getting the little pearl, so he asked 9527: [9527, have we completed the mission?]

But after a pause of one second, 9527 said: [No. 】

Gu Lin was confused: [Why?]

Gu Lin remembered that when he entered this game, he had to stay for three days or get a small pearl to pass the level. Why didn't he pass the level after getting the small pearl?

The next second, the scene in front of Gu Lin suddenly changed, and the secret room scene turned into another scene.

Gu Lin was carried in a basket by Yu Youmian, but at this time, Yu Youmian was gone, Yu Youqing was gone, and he was no longer in the secret room.

Gu Lin: ""

Gu Lin felt like he was in the water, swimming flexibly and very fast. The water washed over his body, making him feel cool and comfortable.

Gu Lin saw from the corner of his eye that his arms had also changed. They were no longer short, but had become longer, the same length as his older brothers' arms, with blue scales attached to them.

Gu Lin was startled and just wanted to raise his arm to take a closer look, but found that he couldn't lift it.

This body was out of his control. He wanted to raise his arms but couldn't. He didn't swim, but he kept swimming forward.

Gu Lin called out to 9527 in his mind: [9527, where is this? Why did I suddenly fall into the water?]

9527: [Don’t be afraid, little anchor, it’s just bringing back memories. You are not in your own body now. 】

Gu Lin: 【】

9527: [Congratulations to the young anchor, the clue points have exceeded 10,000, triggering a flashback. 】

Gu Lin was confused. Before he could ask what nostalgia was and whose body he was in, he found that this body, which was out of his control, was swimming and swimming until it was suddenly caught in a fishing net.

These fishing nets are hidden in the dark and will not be easily discovered.

After being caught in the fishing net, Gu Lin saw that his current body had a fish tail, a beautiful azure blue fish tail.

Seeing the fish's tail, Gu Lin's eyes widened: [Am I in Yu Yu's body now?]

9527: [Yes, little anchor, the perspective you are seeing now is the same as that of this mermaid. 】

Gu Lin's mind was full of question marks. He habitually wanted to tilt his head, but now his body was out of his control and he couldn't tilt it.

Then he felt himself being caught in a fishing net and pulled out of the water.
