"Beyond the South China Sea, there are mermaids who live in the water like fish. They don't need to weave, but when they cry, pearls come out of their eyes."

Ye Fan had read about mermaids in books, but this was also his first time seeing one.

"Not only that, mermaids are full of treasures. The silk they weave is impervious to water and fire, their tears become pearls, and are priceless. Lamp oil refined from mermaid blood can burn for a thousand years, and the skin on their tails is also an excellent material for refining weapons."

Si Lingfeng said.

Mermaid: Everything was arranged clearly.

Si Lingfeng had seen a mermaid before, but that was on Worry-Free Island. She originally wanted to rescue the poor mermaid - and then peel off his tail skin to refine weapons.

After all, everyone was having a hard time on Worry-Free Island at that time.

Unfortunately, it was unsuccessful in the end and I only got a piece of shark silk.

——Because the mermaid is a mixed-race and has no tail.

Later, Wuyou Island was destroyed and the mermaids disappeared.

"But he has no tail."

Si Ruoyun pointed at the mermaid's feet. The mermaid's legs looked no different from those of an ordinary person, except that the toes were connected together, looking like duck webbed feet.

Mermaids are not only full of treasures, but also have beautiful appearances. This has led many people with special fetishes to specifically seduce mermaids and then imprison them as their own.

Of course, in Si Lingfeng's eyes, this was just a pile of refining materials.

"Maybe it's of impure blood."

The tailless mermaid brought back Si Lingfeng's memories of Worry-Free Island. She sighed and felt some sympathy.

——Originally, I planned to dismantle it into refining materials to make a magical weapon for Little Potato.

The mermaid raised his head and looked at Si Lingfeng with his ice-blue eyes. After a moment, he slowly grinned, revealing a row of jagged fangs.

"Sister, I'm so cold."

Si Lingfeng: “…”

Looking at your jagged fangs, I really can't help but think you're pretty.

She also didn't quite understand why those people imprisoned the mermaids.

Is it just for the sake of beauty? Do you want to look at that face every day?

After all, the mermaid's teeth are like saw teeth, and it has a fish tail underneath. Apart from the face and the refining materials on its body, what other uses does it have?

Si Ruoyun watched curiously as Si Lingfeng opened the cage and took out the mermaid. The mermaid was wrapped in a large blanket, with only its face exposed.

Those ice-blue eyes kept staring at Si Lingfeng, as if they wanted to carve her into their bones.

"Wait, aren't mermaids incredibly valuable? Why did that stall owner treat him as a bonus for just 200 spirit stones?"

Jinhua realized belatedly that this mermaid was a bonus to the copper ball!

If he had a mermaid, let alone 200 spirit stones, he might not sell it even if you gave him 20,000 spirit stones!

"Because he's selling himself."

Si Lingfeng reached out and covered the mermaid's eyes. "Don't you think so, Quanke?"

"ah?"

Jinhua was confused.

"Sister is so smart."

The mermaid grinned and her voice sounded like the sound of nature.

When Si Ruoyun heard Quanke calling her "sister" all the time, she immediately became alert and went over to hug Si Lingfeng's thighs.

“This is my sister!”

No one else should compete with her for her sister!

This is her own sister!

Because Quanke always calls her sister, Si Ruoyun is particularly wary of Quanke - no matter how good-looking Quanke is, in Si Ruoyun's eyes, anyone who competes with her for her sister is not a good person!

"Since my sister is so smart, why don't you guess how I found her?"

Quanke licked his lips. The mermaids looked no different from humans in appearance, but they were not humans after all. Whether it was the serrated fangs or the long and thin tongue, they were very different from humans.

Ye Fan looked at Quanke with a smile, but the smile was only on his face. He felt a sense of crisis from this guy.

A wonderful feeling.

But he is just a beast after all.

"You smell like fish." Si Lingfeng picked up Si Ruoyun and looked at Quanke with disgust.

"I suddenly want to eat sashimi today."

Quanke's expression froze, and his bare feet tapped the ground nervously. Si Lingfeng glanced at him sideways.

"Is it better to steam or braise a disobedient fish?"

Quan Ke suddenly laughed softly, "Sister is still like this."

He is a mixed-race, not even a mix of human and mermaid - mermaids do not reject mixed-race people, but they reject people like him who don't even know what kind of mixed-race they are.

So naturally, they hated him and wished he would die in an accident.

Ever since Quanke could remember, he had been constantly expelled.

Until the owner of Worry-Free Island took him back.

That person can neither be said to be a good person nor a bad person.

It was probably just lust.

The man told him that love is pain, and when someone makes you feel pain, you love him.

The man liked to boil his blood into oil and then light up the palace, but Quanke felt no pain.

Maybe he didn't love him.

Until the girl with a knife rushed in, at that moment, Quanke could feel the sharp pain in his heart, as if someone was kneading his heart over and over again with his hands, and finally squeezed it into a puff of blood mist.

At that moment, Quanke truly felt the pain.

When his tail was forcibly transformed into human feet, Quan Ke felt no pain.

When the man boiled his blood to make oil for the lamp, Quanke felt no pain.

He was forced to shed tears every day, and when big pearls fell, Quanke felt no pain.

Quanke thought that he would probably never feel pain - or love - in his entire life.

The boy with ice-blue eyes blinked, and an invisible layer of ice fell from in front of him, revealing a face full of youthfulness, delicate, fragile, and made everyone hold their breath.

This face cannot be described in words. If I want to talk about this face, I can only say that all the words in the world are blasphemy to this face.

Jinhua and Ye Fan were already stunned, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Everyone says that mermaids are beautiful, but most people have never seen a mermaid and have no idea how beautiful they are.

But now that I have seen it, I am afraid that all I can do is to say that once you have seen the sea, all other waters are but puddles; once you have seen Mount Wushan, all other clouds are but mounds.

If you have ever met someone who is stunning enough, everything else in the world will seem unattractive to you.

"Steamed is better."

Si Lingfeng sighed and said helplessly.

"What do you think, Ayun?"

Si Ruoyun was also stunned. It was only when Si Lingfeng called her that she came back to her senses. The little girl was still a little dazed and spoke without thinking.

“Sweet and sour fish is delicious too.”

Quan Ke: “…”

For a moment, I doubted my own charm.

"So where do I start eating, sister?"

Quanke swung his legs as if he was swung his tail, and his pair of ice-blue eyes looked at Si Lingfeng innocently.

He still held a dagger in his hand, which was now pressed against his skin.

"How about from here?"
