A fish in human skin?
Or perhaps, these people were all once mermaids!
Since they're all fish...
Su Luo glanced back at the large pot that had been set up; the water inside was boiling.
Before long, the aroma of fresh fish soup wafted from the kitchen. Su Luo tasted the soup without hesitation. It was a bit greasy and fatty, but otherwise quite good. It was a pity that he didn't have the skills of a gourmet and wasted all that fresh fish.
After casually picking out a few pieces to chew on, Su Luo thought for a moment, then put away the chef's enormous fish head and prepared to push it onto the table.
They want fish soup, right? Then let them drink their fill!
...
At the other end of the palace, the prince and princess were sitting in the magnificent dining room waiting for the fish soup to arrive. They were very affectionate, like newlyweds on their honeymoon, so sweet it was almost sickening!
'诱辱辱辘. '
The sound of wheels slowly rose, and the princess immediately perked up. She looked out of the restaurant and saw a person dressed in a white chef's uniform, completely shrouded in a large hat brim, limping as he pushed a food cart into the restaurant.
Although they were a little curious as to why it wasn't the head chef who came, the prince and princess were quickly drawn to the huge plate in front of them and curiously tapped on it.
"You wouldn't believe that the mermaid wasn't that big, but it actually filled this whole pot when stewed!"
"Perhaps it swelled up from being soaked in water, which is why it looks bigger," the prince stroked his chin, even offering an explanation.
"I can't wait to taste it!" The princess exclaimed excitedly, raising her eyes to look at the person in the white chef's uniform. "Can we open it now?"
"certainly."
A cold voice rang out from the side. The prince was stunned, feeling that he had heard the voice somewhere before. Just as he was about to speak, the princess took it upon herself to open the lid on the table.
The next second, a piercing scream rang out, and in her fright, the lid in the princess's hand fell to the ground with a loud thud.
At the dining table, on a huge plate, a familiar fish head appeared before their eyes!
Although it was a fish head, it still retained some human characteristics. It was clear that it was the head chef. At this moment, the fish head chef's face was full of terror, retaining the fear before his death. His skin was covered with fish scales, and even gills had grown on his cheeks!
It looks extremely bizarre.
"He, he... isn't he the head chef? Why is he in the pot?" the princess exclaimed in horror, instinctively looking at the person in white chef's clothes pushing a food cart towards her...?
Tick-tock, tick-tock.
A puddle of water had somehow soaked the ground, and the corner of a fish tail came into the prince and princess's view!
Upon hearing this, Su Luo slowly raised her head, looking at the prince and princess with a half-smile, "The fish head soup you ordered is here, won't you have some?"
The white chef's uniform fell off, and Su Luo's stunning face appeared in their eyes. Before they could even gasp, a sharp bone sword slashed through the air, piercing their necks, and blood spurted out!
The next second, the two bodies quickly shriveled up, their skin rapidly drying and rotting. Two already corroded mermaid corpses appeared before Su Luo's eyes, crawling with all sorts of twisted and writhing worms, densely packed inside the corpses, burrowing into the flesh and controlling the two rotting mermaids to slowly stand up.
"Hmm?" Su Luo frowned upon seeing this. She had thought that the prince and princess would at least be good-looking and delicious after turning into mermaids, but this was all?
He's not even as good as that fat chef. Not to mention the fat chef, he's not even as good as the fish guild leader from the Ghost Market Street that I first subdued!
At least that fish will grow to be somewhat appetizing, but what are these two?!
Looking at the rotting fish carcass in front of him, which was being manipulated to stand up by those twisted, writhing worms, Su Luo raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Balls of flame burst and burned from inside the fish carcass, making a crackling sound like worms frying in oil. Then, the worms fell to the ground one by one and turned into ashes.
As the last insect fell, the entire decaying fish carcass lost all life, turning into a pool of rotten flesh that melted into the flames.
That's really... disgusting!
Su Luo frowned and walked a few steps away in disgust. Now that the prince and princess are dead, and the protagonist of the mermaid has turned into bubbles and disappeared, why hasn't she returned to normal?
Su Luo looked down at her legs, which were still fishtails. Was she also going to follow the plot and go to the witch to drink the potion?
Something's not right. This fairy tale is wrong to begin with. The way it unfolded, which she was familiar with before, is obviously not going to work. Wait a minute!
As if remembering something, Su Luo frowned and stroked his chin. Since the original story didn't work here, was there another possibility?
The mermaid didn't die at all!
The mermaid didn't die. Like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, the prince and princess thought they had the mermaid trapped, but in reality, the mermaid was the real boss!
Thinking of this, Su Luo quickly turned around to leave the palace. At the same time, a huge sound broke out outside the palace, as if something was attacking!
She's a mermaid!
Thousands of mermaids surged from the seashore onto the mainland, wielding tridents, and began their counterattack on human palaces.
Leading the group was the mermaid that Su Luo had watched turn into bubbles and disappear. However, now, her legs were beginning to be covered with scales, showing a strong tendency to revert to her fish tail.
Is the trend of restoring the fishtail shape being reversed?
A sudden inspiration struck Su Luo, and she turned to look at the prince and princess who had transformed back into mermaids...
I see!
There has never been a mermaid race. Whoever occupies this palace is nominally human, while the losers can only become mermaids, sinking into the deep sea!
Having figured out the reason, to regain human form, one must defeat the counterattacking mermaids!
So this is the real boss!
Thinking of this, Su Luo waved her right hand, and an oil-paper umbrella adorned with the colors of the sun, moon, and stars appeared in her hand. She gently turned it, and an icy avenue composed of ice lotus flowers stretched across the sky, slowly rising into the air.
The show is about to begin!
A hint of surprise flashed in the mermaid's eyes when she saw Su Luo struggling to maintain her walking posture in the palace.
Is she still alive?
But it doesn't matter. What can she do against so many mermaids? The palace will be hers sooner or later!
Just then, Su Luo arrived outside the palace. He smiled as he looked at the merfolk who were trying to attack the city. He raised his hand and gently hooked the palace gate. Under the [Time] domain, the time it took for the palace gate to be broken was accelerated. Then, to the astonishment and shock of the merfolk, the gate opened directly in front of them.
"Welcome, everyone, to my palace!"
"Since you're already here, won't you come in and take a look?"
