Chapter 224 Yo~The Mermaid Prince Married a Dramatic Concubine (I)
Question 1: Have you heard the fairy tale - The Little Mermaid?
A: Yes. The Little Mermaid made a deal with a wicked wizard for love, giving up her voice and fish tail in exchange for beautiful legs. However, the prince married the princess who had saved her life. She didn't receive love and eventually turned to foam.
Question 2: If it is about love, then why is the story called The Little Mermaid?
Jiang Feng: Because this story has been changed.
Question 3: So what is the original text?
Jiang Feng: The Little Mermaid didn't seek love; she sought an immortal soul. Her grandmother told her that mermaids, upon death, would turn into foam and eventually dissolve into the sea. Only humans possess immortal souls, and if a mermaid wants one, she needs human love. Love can divide her soul, giving half to her lover.
The story doesn't end with the Little Mermaid disappearing. Although she turns to foam, she doesn't sink to the bottom of the ocean. Instead, she rides the breeze up into the sky, her consciousness lingering. She didn't kill the prince, maintaining her kind heart throughout, and so she deserves an immortal soul.
In this story, the wizard is not vicious, she is just doing business. The princess and the little mermaid have no intersection, and there is no female rivalry. The prince sees the princess when he opens his eyes, and he also chooses the princess in the end. There is no jealousy or killing. She comes from the sea, she is the daughter of the sea.
Yu Huo: The story is really touching, but please don’t take it personally. You are just a mermaid prince, and a prince who loves to skin people.
Jiang Feng: ...

In the year 1317 of the Haiyuan era, 1317 years have passed since mermaids stood at the top of the food chain.
Before that, the Blue Planet experienced a series of devastating disasters such as nuclear wastewater discharge, volcanic eruptions, and glacier melting. Most of its civilization was lost, the human population plummeted, and humans became a precious existence.
They are watched, raised, and used as the subjects of comparison by mermaids. They live without self and are manipulated at will.
Fortunately, the Empire has a protective law, so mermaids cannot wantonly kill humans. Because of the epic disaster a thousand years ago, mermaids have developed a hidden disease, which causes their mental power to lose control in adulthood, and they may even fall into riots.
It is human hormones that can alleviate the mermaids' mental strength, so the surviving humans have become medicine, kept in captivity, and auctioned off...
[Ding! Soul transfer completed. Do you want to transfer the world line now?]
Yu Huo's eyelids moved, and all he saw was darkness. He felt like he was trapped in a box, floating in the sea, swaying aimlessly.
Click——
Yu Huo paused for a while and was about to agree to the system's request to transfer the world line when he suddenly heard a light sound from under him, and the feeling of weightlessness disappeared instantly.
At the same time, a chaotic hissing sound penetrated the box and surrounded his ears.
What are those things that are being called outside?
[Unfortunate 945: Maybe... a mermaid?]
Mermaid?
What kind of magical world is this?
Yu Huo blinked, and a ray of light suddenly passed through the gap. The huge black cloth covering the box was slowly and vaguely withdrawn from his sight. The water outside the box was rippling, and schools of sea fish were swimming outside the glass cover, as if they were sitting in a submarine.
Then, light and shadow floated, and beautiful colorful fish tails came into view. He looked at the mermaids in surprise, his eyes wide open.
After the curtain was lifted, the mermaids seemed stunned for a moment, and their ears began to echo with roars one after another. Their expressions were a little exaggerated.
Yu Huo didn't understand, so he rubbed his forehead and happily asked the system for a Jieyu Pill and put it in his mouth.
The toilet paper-like touch made him frown, and he swallowed it whole in a few gulps. The roaring in his ears began to turn into words with clear outlines.
"Fuck! He's so good looking!"
"Fuck! He actually has the rare black hair and black eyes!!"
"Fuck! His skin is so white, I like it so much..."
Yu Huo:? ?
Mermaids also swear...
Sorry, the filter is broken.
At this moment, a huge mermaid suddenly swam in front of the transparent glass cover. The mermaid was wearing a slim tuxedo, and her smooth black tail rippled the sea water and stopped next to the cover that wrapped him.
"This is today's finale auction item, the precious, rare, beautiful and mysterious Chinese people.
His name is Yu Huo, he is 23 years old, has a gentle personality, and is very fond of crying~"
This statement again triggered a series of exclamations.
Crybaby?
who? !
Yu Huo glanced at the loudspeaker-like object hanging from the mermaid's mouth, then his eyes swept across the bidding number plates held in the hands of a group of mermaids in front of him, and he had some thoughts in his mind.
Is he at the auction house? Or is he an auction item?
To achieve a higher price, the auctioneer spared no effort in expounding on the item's merits or inherent advantages. Deep in his emotion, he excitedly shouted, "What are you still hesitating about? Buy it, buy it, buy it!"
The mermaids were excited by this pyramid scheme-like bidding method and screamed in unison.
While Yuhuo was still refusing to accept the reality, the mermaids suddenly started to jeer. No one knew who started it first, but they all shouted loudly and in unison to the auctioneer.
"Let him cry, cry!"
"Cry one, cry one, cry one..."
Yu Huo's forehead was filled with black lines. If someone didn't know better, they would have thought he was at a proposal scene. These sounds strangely overlapped with the sounds of the crowd watching the excitement.
For example: together, together, together?
Alas~ He is at the bottom of the sea and has nowhere to run. My life is really over!
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the auctioneer with a pitch-black fish tail. He smiled mysteriously and raised his palm to press the transparent cover that was covering himself.
Yu Huo's hair stood on end. He always felt that this fish had bad intentions and wanted to trick him!
The next second, a buzzing sound began to come from above his head, like the sound of machinery turning. The only part that was not transparent, the ceiling, began to shift, revealing tiny holes. Sea water began to pour into the cover that was locking him. The water instantly wet his white shirt, making the dry and loose fabric sticky and transparent.
The mermaids in front of him seemed to be even more excited. The tips of their tails stood up at the same time because of this scene. Their pupils suddenly shrank into a straight line. They stared at the cloth that outlined his waistline without blinking, as if they were swallowing their saliva.
The auctioneer saw their reactions and smiled maliciously. Then he looked at Yu Huo's expressionless face, and the smile froze on his lips.
Sure enough, the mermaids behind him broke away from their brief astonishment and shouted loudly: "Cry! Cry! Cry!"
Yu Huo: "..."
Like watching people cry? What kind of crazy hobby is this?!
Suddenly, the auctioneer patted the glass cover in an urging manner, as if talking to himself: "Are you stupid? Why aren't you crying? Why aren't you shaking with fear?
Something is wrong. If I had scared him like this before, he would have cried a long time ago..."
Yu Huo looked down at the sea water that was about to submerge his knees, with the same confusion in his eyes as his.
Crying, shaking, wiping tears?
That’s it?!
