Chapter 11: Mermaid Sold for 8 Million
The next day.
Qi Sheng was about to go out when Bai Chuan blocked the door.
"Aren't you going to show it to me?"
Qi Sheng wrapped Yu Li like a mummy with nano-fabric, leaving only his two eyes exposed, and hid them behind Qi Sheng.
"Brother Bo, isn't this right? The weather has been hot recently and his skin has been broken. I was afraid that he would scare you."
"I'll introduce you to each other when he recovers."
Bai Chuan'an's gaze fell behind Qi Sheng. It was the first time he saw him cherish something so much.
Bai Chuan reluctantly moved away, "Your brother will be back tomorrow. Behave better today, otherwise I can't save you."
"Okay, I understand. Let's go out first." With that, Qi Sheng took Yu Li's hand and walked out of the house.
Qi Sheng dropped him off at the school gate, where the teacher was waiting for Yu Li.
The mermaid just jumped out of the car and wanted to say goodbye to Qi Sheng, but the car drove away from the school quickly.
The mermaid stood there blankly. It had been a whole night, and she still hadn't calmed down?
It's just... biting his lip.
Stingy humans.
The teacher who was in charge of picking up Yu Li was very enthusiastic. "Little Yu Li, shall we go to class now? We have a new teacher here today, and she's also a mermaid."
The teacher gave Yu Li an interpreter, which converted the words he had just said into sound waves that the mermaids were familiar with.
Yu Li understood immediately.
"Teacher, can I take this instrument home and use it?" Yu Li also expressed his inner thoughts through sound waves.
"No, this is to assist you in your studies. It can only be used during class. We've only developed one thousandth of the mermaid language, so this device can't translate many complex sound waves. This is to help you adapt to the new environment."
"Okay." The mermaid nodded, looked at the direction Qi Sheng left, feeling a little disappointed, and followed the teacher to the classroom.
Qi Sheng returned to the army.
Zhai Wenxi was soon brought into Qi Sheng's office by soldiers through the visitor passage.
Qi Sheng slammed the table and asked, "Are you sure the news is true?"
Zhai Wenxi: "I knew you would ask that. Anyway, in your heart, no matter what I say, you think I'm talking nonsense."
Qi Sheng: "Stop talking nonsense, where are the things?"
"Okay!" Zhai Wenxi shoved a sealed document into his arms, "Read it for yourself."
Qi Sheng tore open the documents in the brown paper bag and saw a purchase agreement——
Purchaser: Bai Chuan
Species: Red-scaled Mermaid
Purpose: Personal research use
Delivery method: Deliver to the buyer within 30 days. If delivery cannot be completed, the seller will pay double compensation...
Zhai Wenxi: "Also, your mermaid was auctioned off on the dark web. Someone started looking for this species of fish two years ago. The down payment was 500,000 yuan, and when Bai Chuan bought it, he raised the price to 3 million yuan."
Qi Sheng received news from Zhai Wenxi yesterday, so he wrapped Yu Li like a mummy early this morning.
To prevent being recognized by Bai Chuan.
Qi Sheng: What does Brother Bo want to study by getting a mermaid? I've never heard him mention mermaids before...
Zhai Wenxi: "Under the current circumstances, he can't go back to your house. He's the only red mermaid here. If he's seen, he'll definitely be exposed."
Qi Sheng looked at the unfamiliar text in the file and said, "Who said there's only one? Go to the dark web and send me a solicitation message. I'll pay 8 million for another one."
Zhai Wenxi: "??? Why did you buy so many mermaids? Do you have a special fetish? Do you like animals with long tails? Don't you have a tail too..."
As Zhai Wenxi was talking, he realized something was wrong: "Wait a minute! Where did you get so much money?"
Qi Sheng: "I don't have it, but I know you do."
Zhai Wenxi: "...You're such a jerk! Your brother bought it for 4 million, and you raised the price to 8 million. That's a complete waste of my money, right?"
Qi Sheng: "The agreed time is up. If Brother Bo can't get the mermaid, someone will naturally compensate him. But I have to find a way for Yu Li to come back. At least next time, I want him to enter my house openly."
Zhai Wenxi: "So... I'm the one paying for this?"
Qi Sheng: "Is there a problem? Aren't we friends?"
Zhai Wenxi: "Yes, we are friends. Although I am rich, as a friend, you don't want to owe me a favor, right?"
Qi Sheng: "It's just a process of taking the money. I know you have...whatever you want, just tell me directly."
Zhai Wenxi's eyes rolled. "My brother has been detained for over 24 hours. Can he be released early?"
Qi Sheng: "No, we can't. We've arrested all the organizers of the parades. We can't just let him go. He's just going to have three days of ideological education. Besides, his father is with him. Why are you worrying about it?"
Zhai Wenxi: "Okay then, my family has a sports car coming to the market soon. How about you go and help me promote it offline for a day?"
Qi Sheng gave him a warning look and spread his hands. "Are you sure? But I'm an officer. Who would dare to buy if I stood there? Everyone would think I was catching a fugitive."
Zhai Wenxi: "Who said you should wear a uniform? Wear sales clothes. With your image and temperament, you will definitely attract many people to come into the store and experience it!"
Qi Sheng was speechless: "Change it."
Zhai Wenxi: "Then let me access your internal system so I can check the information of my ambiguous partners and see who is not lying to me~"
Qi Sheng: "Which day is the guard duty?"
Zhai Wenxi: "Wait for my notification in the next two days."
…
In the evening, Qi Sheng took Yu Li to change his residence.
In an ordinary residential building not far from the school, there are many non-human races living in this community, and many people's bodies will show species characteristics after differentiation.
For example, their neighbor is an alpha whose spiritual form is a fawn, and his antlers appear during the mating season.
Qi Sheng met him when he was going downstairs and felt his strong pheromone scent.
Although the number of mermaids in this area is small, people are very accepting of mermaids because they are a symbol of beauty and uniqueness. Many mermaids have become models and actors.
Qi Sheng took off his blue officer uniform, threw it on the sofa, and lay down on the sofa in the living room.
Think about today.
Why on earth is Brother Bo looking for the red mermaid? That research team leader is so tight-lipped, it's like he's been covered in mud. When the detention time is up tomorrow, he'll have to be released even if he doesn't want to...
Yu Li quietly picked up Qi Sheng's uniform, sorted it out and put it in the cabinet.
Yu Li didn't like the previous big house, he thought this small room was just right.
He carefully familiarized himself with the items in the house, and was a little happy when he saw Qi Sheng move the fish tank from home.
Qi Sheng was thinking of me.
But his family doesn't seem to like me.
Yu Li took out the small audio interpreter from his schoolbag, but the teacher told him not to take it away.
He still couldn't help it and took it.
When Qi Sheng opened his eyes, he found that the mermaid was gone.
He put on his slippers and went to look outside the bedroom. In order to make it impossible for Yu Li to refuse to sleep with him again, he chose a one-bedroom apartment.
The bedroom is not big, but the living room is as big as a basketball court.
The living room is transformed into a dreamy underwater world.
An arc-shaped fish tank occupies one wall, with a bottom covered in fine sand and scattered with colorful pebbles and shells.
Various coral reefs are placed next to the fish tank. They are of different colors and will emit different colors and shake slightly according to people's body temperature. Algae are crawling in the corners, and you can faintly hear the gentle sound of waves.
"What are you looking at?" Qi Sheng put his arm around Yu Li's waist. "Is the night view really that beautiful? It's pitch black and you can't see anything."
Yu Li turned on the ultrasonic interpreter. This was the first time he could fully understand Qi Sheng's words.
It turns out that when this human speaks, his voice is a bit embarrassing, with bright stars in his eyes, which is not good-looking at all.
Yu Li pointed to the sky and said, "The stars are beautiful."
Qi Sheng heard Yu Li's voice being swallowed up in a chatterbox, "What's that sound?"
Yu Li spread out his hands and showed the translator to Qi Sheng, "He can help me translate what I want to say."
Qi Sheng: "So magical?"
Yu Li blocked Qi Sheng's mouth with her slender fingertips. "Keep your voice down. The teacher won't let you bring it back. We'll be discovered."
Qi Sheng: "Oh~ So you did something bad secretly~"
I was afraid that the teacher would find out, so why didn't he say he was afraid when he took it? I didn't expect that he looked so well-behaved, but he had such a rebellious personality.
Yu Li: "No, it's not a bad thing. I just wanted to bring it over to explain what happened yesterday to you. I will return it tomorrow."
Qi Sheng rested his arm on the window, admiring the panicked look on his face and raising an eyebrow, "Yesterday? About that time you forcefully kissed me?"
Qi Sheng deliberately pulled the corners of his mouth apart and pouted, "Hey, hey, hey... Look, you're not fully recovered yet?"
"I'm sorry." The voice in the translator was weak, as if the person speaking had no confidence at all.
"Sorry, forget it? Now you have this thing, you can understand what I say. I want you to..."
Qi Sheng deliberately moved closer to the interpreter in Yu Li's palm, and his soft lips touched the corner.
His lips moved the translator away for a distance, and a warm kiss landed on Yu Li's palm. "Compensate me."
Yu Li's heart began to beat "boom boom boom" and the glands in the fish's tail began to react a little differently, swelling as if growing and developing rapidly.
"I will!" Yu Li held the translator tightly, "Open your mouth."
Qi Sheng leaned over, looked at him with bright and clear eyes, and slowly closed his eyes.
How he was looking forward to the beautiful, kind, cute mermaid baby with super soft lips offering him a kiss.
Yu Li: Can humans fall asleep while standing?
So cute! I wish my baby fish could sleep like this in the future. The tribe leader said that baby fish are difficult to take care of.
The next moment, Yu Li bit his index finger with his sharp teeth, and blood flowed down his white fingertips.
The bloody fingertips pressed the wound at the corner of Qi Sheng's mouth.
Qi Sheng stuck out his tongue...
Qi Sheng: Hmm? That's sweet.
wrong!
Qi Sheng opened his eyes and found that Yu Li was gone.
There was something sticky around his mouth, and when he touched it, it was covered in blood.
At this time, Yu Li took out his clothes from the house and put them into the washing machine skillfully. He seemed to have lived here for a long time and was the master of the house.
"Is this your scarf? Do you want to wash it?"
Yu Li took a pair of Qi Sheng's curled-up underwear, shook it, and threw it into the washing machine.
Qi Sheng stamped his feet anxiously: "I told you not to wash it, but you put it in there anyway!"
When Yu Li heard this, he took out his underwear again and said, "Then I won't wash it."
Qi Sheng: "So, what's that on the corner of my mouth?"
Who would suddenly wash their underwear in the middle of kissing? ! ! !
"That's what I wanted to explain to you yesterday. My blood can heal wounds quickly."
"It doesn't hurt anymore, does it?"
The mermaid smiled sincerely, and he finally mustered up the courage to say what had been buried in his heart.
"I actually have many uses. If you eat me, I'll be useless..."
"So, can you try something else? I really have a lot of thorns...it will prick your mouth...and if it hurts, it will hurt more than you are feeling now."
