“…” The mermaid fell silent, and couldn’t stop swinging its tail. The water rose and fell, forming a small whirlpool in the pool.
"If you need anything at that time, I will do my best to get it for you." Xu Shiqing tried hard to dispel his idea.
Alger was dejected. To be honest, asking him to build an ordinary nest on an ordinary planet to woo his sweetheart was no different from finding out that his wedding ring was lost and someone else's name was on the property deed when he was about to get married.
【Why not ask the magical system? 】
Ever since returning from training, System 021 has been muttering about love and hate, plunder, and a childhood sweetheart. Xu Shiqing almost wondered if the system acting as Si had been reading novels to him during this training session.
Hearing this, he asked in his heart: "Isn't this a power that Pani can control?"
This wasn't a simple matter of moving across planets. Simple spatial transfer wasn't difficult for magic; the difficulty lay in determining the coordinates. The small planet Alger had purchased lacked any magical positioning points. Because it was near the settlements of the Fantasy Races, vehicles like spaceships couldn't appear there without prior approval. If they weren't careful, they'd be blasted to pieces.
Being able to teleport yourself to wherever you want to go without a pre-set location point is an ability that is close to that of a god.
Xu Shiqing paused for thought, no way... ?
Bingo!
021 Smile [:) We've discussed this with the God of Nature and set up a coordinate location for you free of charge.]
He Gives Strength
"what's on your mind?"
“!”
Xu Shiqing was startled to find that Alger was about to get close to him.
He could even clearly see the light blue scales at the corners of the mermaid's eyes.
"I was wondering if I could... change my perspective." Xu Shiqing tried to make up a story, but finally gave up under Alger's increasingly hostile gaze. "Okay, I just got distracted."
The mermaid took a deep breath and suddenly jumped out of the water and rushed over.
Xu Shiqing sadly discovered that he could now even lean back and collapse on the ground as a matter of course to prevent his head from actually hitting the ground with Alger's hand.
The floor was covered in water, and Xu Shiqing's hair was completely wet.
"Speak." The mermaid buried her head in his chest and said in a muffled voice.
Xu Shiqing: "Yeah, okay, I'll talk to you."
The sensitive, fragile, yet manic and powerful Alger Lecter, a child in his atavistic state, said angrily, "You have no guilt at all! You're still laughing!"
Xu Shiqing tried to control the corners of his mouth. No, it was too funny to hear Alger say these words with that cool face of his.
Soon, they arrived at the habitable planet. Alger's atavism had progressed far faster than Xu Shiqing had anticipated. As Alger wielded his five- to six-meter-long fish tail and sprouted claws from his fingers, Xu Shiqing quickly scooped up the merman, leaped out of the cabin door, and crashed into the vast ocean.
"...At least we won't lose track of the commander." The adjutant said firmly under the admiring gazes of the crowd, "Now, make an emergency stop and explain the situation to the local authorities..."
He paused, then added, "Throw down the escape pod from the backup hold... they'll need it."
At least the elves will definitely use it.
The adjutant stared at the sea and thought deeply: Lord Pani, this is the last thing I can do for you.
Xu Shiqing had no idea what he was thinking, and the situation at the scene was a mess. Before Alger entered the water, the fish almost completely wrapped around Xu Shiqing, and they fell to the bottom of the sea together.
...very quiet.
The seabed was filled with deep, dark silence. Xu Shiqing was held in Alger's arms as they swam towards an unknown direction. The water flow around them was clearly disturbed and controlled, as if a whirlpool was forming with the mermaid as its center.
The extended mental tentacles did not respond, which meant that Alger could not communicate with him through mental power.
Xu Shiqing thought for a moment, then reached out and wrote on Alger's chest.
"How are you?"
The mermaid froze visibly.
Xu Shiqing tried hard to create some noise. The elves had very good night vision, but the situation on the seabed was different. The light here was sparse and dim, and Xu Shiqing couldn't see what Alger was doing.
But he felt the mermaid's arms tightening around him, like a clamp.
Xu Shiqing stretched out his index finger and poked his belly again, gesturing that he wanted to "ask" again.
[…I suggest you stop tormenting him.] 021 is horrible.
"You've arrived just in time!" Xu Shiqing's eyes lit up. "I can't see clearly. How is Alger doing now?"
[Not too good, but not that bad either.] 021 said it sincerely, "It's just right, not too bad either." [Just listen to him and do what he says. I won't be watching you anymore.]
'? What does 'Xu Shiqing' mean? '
[He's going to build a nest.] The system said calmly, but this sentence exploded in Xu Shiqing's ears and successfully made him furious.
"Wait, wait a minute!" the elf shuddered, his pupils shrinking slightly: "He thinks I am...?"
[I guess everything you'll need has been stuffed into your storage space.] 021 spoke very quickly. This was the fastest he had spoken since Xu Shiqing knew him. [Once my mosaic plugin is on, I can't see or hear anything. Of course, I don't plan to watch, so I'll just hang up my computer in the background. Once the plugin is turned off, I'll be back. Bye.]
Happy coming of age!
System 021 went offline very smoothly, which made Xu Shiqing very angry, but right now there were more important things than 021 being lazy after training.
The mermaid held his arms so tightly that it seemed as if she was trying to press him into her body.
Xu Shiqing raised his head as if aware of something, and the mermaid's hair was gently hitting his face. He realized belatedly that Alger had stopped moving forward at some point and stopped in an unfamiliar place.
It was like the water stirred by the other person's breath brushing against his cheek. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly felt a shudder, as if he understood the situation he was in.
