Inside the medical research institute, a doctor in a white coat confirmed that the "mermaid" did indeed possess an unknown virus.

"It's just strange that no similar virus was detected in Mr. Han's body, so further observation is needed."

Han Fei waved his hand: "I don't want to be your test subject."

The female doctor smiled gently and sweetly: "I'm doing this for Mr. Han's health."

Han Fei didn't believe her. Despite her beautiful appearance and sweet words, she was ruthless when it came to dissecting people.

He had already heard from the people around him that the girl's nickname was Sweet Scorpion.

Falling into her hands to become a test subject is no better than falling into Kelly's hands; these medical researchers are basically half-madmen.

"Are you really alright?" Old Master Gu was still worried. "Why don't you stay with Xiaotian and observe her for another two days?"

Han Fei rolled his eyes at him: "You're afraid you won't die."

"Old Gu, come with me to a place," Han Fei changed the subject.

"Where?"

"You'll find out when you get there."

...

"Is the plane malfunctioning?"

"Why can't I open the door?"

"Wait a minute, how did this plane end up here? It should have already landed at the Parrot Airport."

"Who drove it back?"

"The captain called me and said the plane was stolen, but why is it at the airport in China?"

"Did he teleport back? How did he get back to the Dragon Kingdom from the Parrot Kingdom in such a short time?"

"Stop discussing these things, a high-ranking leader is coming, everyone get to your positions!"

Who's here?

"Shh! Don't ask any more questions, sir."

"Everyone, go about your own business and stop crowding around here. Move along!"

...

Han Fei led Lao Gu to the side of the plane: "Are these the spoils I plundered?"

When Old Gu boarded the plane and saw the contents, he immediately got off, looking shocked: "You emptied out all eighteen basement floors of Kelly's house?"

"It took some effort, but I only brought back some rare items."

"Old Han, did you steal her research materials?"

"Tsk! What stealing? That word is inappropriate."

"Haha, okay, I'll change one word. Did you take... did you take her research materials?"

Han Fei handed Gu Lao a mobile phone: "I basically took pictures of them all. I glanced at them and they're not very valuable. They're just some crazy biological research."

"I'll have Xiaotian and the others research these things."

"Alright, you decide what to do. I need to go back and catch up on some sleep."

"Old Han, what should we do with that mermaid?"

"Just make sure he's well fed and cared for. I'll go see him tomorrow."

"I'm afraid it will demolish Xiaotian's research institute."

"Don't worry, just give it plenty of good food, it's more obedient than a dog." Han Fei waved his hand and strode away, not giving Old Gu a chance to stop him.

Old Gu looked at the guard beside him: "How long did it take Old Han to leave Dragon Country and return to Dragon Country?"

"According to the airport's surveillance footage, the entire process took only half an hour."

"How did he do that? It can't be as simple as just invisibility. He must also have mastered the art of time control."

Should we notify the special department responsible for finding the elderly?

"Not for now. That old guy is a madman. If he finds out that Lao Han might have the ability to control time, he might camp out at Lao Han's door every day. You know, Lao Han seems to have a good temper, but in reality, he has the worst temper of anyone. I'm afraid he'll ask Lao Xun to get shot."

The guard chuckled, "That's certainly possible. Mr. Han is not someone you can easily deal with."

...

As soon as Han Fei opened the courtyard gate, he saw a familiar big tail.

The tail was wagging wildly, just like a dog wagging its tail wildly when it is extremely excited and happy.

"Hehehe, you're so pretty!"

Han Fei's heart skipped a beat when he heard Xiao Qi's unique, childlike laughter.

He strode into the room, but the scene he feared did not appear.

In the courtyard, Xiaoqi held a watercolor pen in one hand and a hair clip in the other, smiling sweetly with deep dimples.

Hearing the noise, the "mermaid" turned her head, startling Han Fei so much that he quickly closed his eyes.

It's so disgusting!

This is absolutely outrageous!

A lizard face was painted red and green, with pink circles drawn on its cheeks, purple on its eyelids, blood red on its lips, and a green sticker stuck between its eyebrows.

It was ugly enough to begin with, but with this paint... it's even more unbearable to look at.

"Grandpa, you're back!"

Xiao Qi skipped over to Han Fei's side and tugged at his sleeve: "Grandpa, open your eyes and look!"

Han Fei took a deep breath, opened his eyes, and then quickly closed them again.

"Grandpa, look! This is my new pet!"

Han Fei's lips twitched: "...You have quite the taste."

"Grandpa, it suddenly appeared in the yard. It has a big tail. Is it a lizardfish?"

"It's a mermaid."

"Mermaid???" Xiao Qi stared wide-eyed with shock.

In her little mind, her fantasy of a mermaid was: snow-white skin, a high nose bridge, big, bright, watery eyes, beautiful and charming.

But now...

The mermaid fantasy that Xiaoqi had always held in her mind shattered.

"Then...then I'll draw it even prettier, maybe...it'll look better..." Xiaoqi said, biting the tip of her watercolor brush, looking conflicted.

After a long while, she leaned close to Han Fei's ear and whispered, "Grandpa, I know why the prince didn't acknowledge the mermaid as his savior. The prince did it on purpose!"

Han Fei was both amused and exasperated, never expecting the little girl to make such a connection.

"Mermaids would be perfect as sea kings. They look fierce, and all the sea creatures would be terrified of them!"

"Forget it, I'm not going to put makeup on it anymore. I'm going to train its body. Only with a strong body can it become the King of the Sea!"

Han Fei: "..."

"Sea King, let's go, let's go practice!" Xiao Qi pulled "Mermaid's" hair and walked forward.

The "mermaid" was wildly wagging its tail, its ugly face full of excitement, its nostrils flaring, and its eyes showing a look of utter infatuation.

Han Fei's phone rang. It was an urgent call from Old Gu: "Old Han, something bad has happened! Xiao Tian said that the mermaid has escaped!"

"I see."

You found out?

"It appeared in my house."

"You're going to find yours?"

"It wasn't looking for me; I guess it came looking for Xiaoqi because of her scent."

"It didn't hurt Xiaoqi, did it?"

"No, it's just a dog in a different body. When Xiaoqi draws all over its face, it wags its tail like crazy and is very happy."

Should I send someone to take it away?

"It's not needed for now. Let it stay with me for a few days."

After hanging up the phone, Han Fei looked through the window into the room and saw Xiao Qi handing a dumbbell to "Mermaid" and instructing in a childish voice, "Come on, Sea King, you have to start training from today. I'll count for you, 1, 2, 3..."

"Little sister, who are you talking to?" Xiao Liu came out from the inner room: "Ah—"
