Yun Shou pondered quietly. What he feared most when helping others was trouble. When he did good deeds, he tended to deal with the villains in one go and reward the righteous ones handsomely.

It's too troublesome to change someone's established values. You either have to brainwash them a second time or subtly change them over decades.

Even the Ice Goddess herself felt that she was so beautiful, yet he insisted on taking action to brainwash her, to change her aesthetic sense, and to restore her to the level of beauty in the eyes of normal humans... It feels a bit... well, it's not like there are any bad behaviors or ideas that need to be corrected.

Moreover—in the Giant Island region, a country with absurd values, her strange appearance is actually a plus; instead of being disliked, people respect her.

Physical appearance does not affect quality of life. Although physical deformities may affect lifespan, they have little impact once they are congenital.

"I wonder if the Tenth Prince has given the Ice Goddess a batch of 'Summoning Fruits' as a bonus. He probably has, since the simulator can't possibly write out every single detail."

"Speaking of which, the mid-stage of the Innate Realm will improve a martial artist's body to a perfect state. Will the mutated martial artists on these giant islands revert to human form?"

The mermaid before me is quite beautiful. The reason I say that is mainly because you came here to feast on all sorts of delicious food and want to try everything.

[In the vast, undulating sea, there are of course many mermaids, but they are all sea monsters, an enemy race.]

[You prefer a fun, team-based gaming experience, so forget about overly absurd gameplay elements like enemy spies, investigators, or female prisoners.]

[Though my body is steeped in heavy tastes, my heart is set on pure love.]

[Though in darkness, our feet tread the light.]

Just like your online friends, group members, and book lovers from your past life, don't be fooled by their bizarre and varied sexual preferences—they might even be into Cthulhu. In reality, most of them are incredibly pure-hearted, as if holding hands with a non-relative of the opposite sex would kill them.

"Stop talking, stop talking. First of all, it's not that I'm upset, it's that a friend of mine is sweating buckets. I think what you're saying is really pointless. Of course, this is my friend's opinion. Because he's my friend, I know him well. I didn't feel anything when I saw it and it didn't upset me. I'm just reminding you to delete this sentence. This is all for my friend's sake!"

"Wait a minute!" Yun Shou slapped his forehead. "This really has nothing to do with me!"

You decide to have a good talk with this mermaid to see if she came here to find true love or just a romantic relationship.

[Besides, you've already heard that while merfolk possess inward-spinning spikes that can easily injure other races... your current combat strength surpasses that of the Man-Slaying Whale. Unless a supreme-level being comes along, trying to harm you is a joke!]

"That's clearly a plus!"

[You then heard the mermaid's telepathic message to you; it wasn't a normal conversation.]

"So you're the Silver-Clad Overlord, Shouyun?"

You smile shyly: "Thank you for the compliment!"

Unexpectedly, the mermaid's next telepathic message was filled with hatred and loathing.

[They change their tune in an instant, without even a second thought.]

"As expected of you, you despicable and shameless human! If it weren't for using that external means like the Taiyuan Crystal Heart, how could you have possibly killed my uncle!"

You suppress your smile: "Your uncle?"

"You lowly land monkey? You actually forgot about him? He's one of the three strongest sea creatures in the Vast Ocean, his name is the Mermaid King!"

["Oh." Your indifferent response infuriated the mermaid. Before her anger could escalate further, you quickly retorted, "Do you remember that the Mermaid King had a daughter who could disguise herself as a human (Chapter 225)?"]

"That's my sister Baba'er!" the mermaid cried out, filled with hatred. "I heard she was also killed by you land monkeys!"

"To be precise—" You moved closer to her face, staring into her eyes.

The mermaid, not to be outdone, stared intently at you.

But then you beamed with delight: "I was the mastermind behind her death, hahaha!"

"Back then, no one dared to touch her, but I crippled her in one swift motion, signaling the need to act!"

[You waved your hands in front of the mermaid, and began to dance, swaying and twisting.]

"Aren't you angry? Aren't you angry? I killed them all, hehe!"

At this moment, the mermaid's scales turned bluish from the blood pooling around them—her blood was sea blue.

You could hear her teeth grinding together, her hands clenched so tightly they almost broke her knuckles.

But she wouldn't dare to make a move; if she did, you would have a legitimate reason to retaliate.

[She's only at the late stage of the Second Realm, or more accurately, around the mid-stage of the Celestial Realm. She knows that no matter how you "killed your uncle using despicable means," your combat strength at the late stage of the Third Realm is still guaranteed.]

"Oh dear, the blood feud of killing your uncle and sister is right before your eyes, yet you dare not move, and can only sulk alone?"

"Do you want to know how they died? Do you want me to repeat the last words of the Shark King to you? Let me think about it."

"It was a 'hissing sound,' because that was the final, incredibly powerful gasp he made when I stomped on his chest."

[Drip, drip... The mermaid trembled all over, she didn't say a word, but pure mermaid tears fell to the ground.]

"The little pearls have been returned, what good are tears? Crying won't bring them back to life~"

The mermaid finally couldn't take it anymore, turned around and fled in a sorry state, not forgetting to leave behind a harsh last sentence: "You, you're also too afraid to make a move!?"

Yun Shou felt that this was the reason why she had come to Yun Shi in the first place.

She was confident that Lao Shi wouldn't make a move in this situation, so she wanted to mock Lao Shi as much as possible and see his frustrated expression of being unable to do anything, so as to gain a sense of satisfaction.

"Clown, how could you possibly withstand the sharp tongue of the Yun family?"

"Now you've been hit hard, hahaha!"

"And—do you really think you can only be psychologically broken down?"

Yun Shou chuckled; he knew himself all too well.

He usually has limits when retaliating against those who were previously hostile but are not now.

But when faced with a life-or-death feud, he absolutely must kill the other party; the weaker the opponent, the more motivated he will be!

The mermaid's last retort sounded weak, almost like a pout.

[She was about to leave when she suddenly noticed someone standing in front of her.]

"I don't dare to do it?" you asked directly.

The mermaid's eyes widened: "You..."

[Smack!]

Before I could finish speaking, you whipped me so hard I was spinning wildly in place!

[After spinning her for only two and a half rotations, you pressed down on the top of her head and forced her to a sudden stop.]

The mermaid's scales were blown off half her face, leaving it bloody. Before she could even react, she heard your next words.

"I'd even dare to use my foot!"
