In the early morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the window. The maid Tata presented Xu Milu with a set of clothing that was particularly characteristic of Pearl City. The octopus tentacles under the skirt slowly wriggled, and upon closer inspection, they were somewhat frightening.
Ah Chou seemed quite interested in her, circling her a few times, but remembering Xu Milu's command, he listlessly lay down on the ground.
"Gah!"
"Lady Milu, you look absolutely stunning in this outfit!"
Tata didn't hold back her praise, revealing the enormous mirror made of polished seashells behind her:
"This is the first time I've ever seen such cascading black hair! It feels just like the finest silk."
Xu Milu turned slightly and observed herself in the mirror. The alien genes in her body had been fully integrated, and her height was already well over 1.7 meters. She usually used the Human Face Fruit to carefully correct her height.
Compared to before, her real appearance has changed drastically. Although her facial features have only undergone minor adjustments, these small changes have made her features more and more exquisite. Every proportion seems to be calculated. Her almond-shaped eyes have gradually lengthened, carrying a hint of eeriness. Her nose is high and her lips are naturally red, making her increasingly alluring.
Sun Wukong once said that the creation of heaven and earth is all in the hands of the human race, and the transformation of the demon race is also to conform to the way of heaven. Among them, the more perfect the transformation, the more powerful the supernatural power and the stronger the bloodline.
Tata's outfit looked rather revealing. Her upper body was covered with a seashell-like tube top and a light blue gauze over it. The gauze felt exceptionally smooth to the touch, like water. Her lower body was covered with a pair of light blue trousers that looked unremarkable at first glance, but when she put them on, the hem would spread out like flower petals, making it feel like walking on a flower.
The siren girls also wear various headdresses made of seashells, hair clips made of coral, and flowers made of fish eyes. Xu Milu only picked out a coral hair clip, tied her hair up in a high ponytail, and prepared to go out to see Nanako.
Who doesn't love pretty little clothes?
Especially in this otherworldly city, wearing the clothes of the local residents always gives Xu Milu a sense of joy in adapting to local customs.
...
Nanako was in the nursery when she heard that Xu Milu had woken up and asked her to come over. This surprised Tata, who was standing nearby. She quickly glanced at Xu Milu and then lowered her head.
Normally, the siren's nursery is not open to outsiders. Even among their own kind, very few are invited to visit, let alone Xu Milu, who is human.
Xu Milu vaguely sensed something, pulled her thin veil tighter around herself, and followed the maid who was leading the way away with neither arrogance nor servility.
Yesterday she discovered that even though the "Food Magazine" had reported on her story, Akai and Nanako's attitude towards her was still a bit too enthusiastic.
However, Xu Milu hadn't yet guessed what the couple wanted to do, so she decided to accept her fate.
...
...
The nursery was built on the third basement level of the castle. At the end of the spiral staircase, instead of wooden floors, there was a large expanse of shimmering blue seawater. The ceiling was covered with glowing corals for illumination, and countless fireflies gathered together to provide light. When they heard a sound, they fluttered away like a moving moon.
Countless white pearls floated on the water, miraculously not sinking; the shimmering light was emanating from them. In the center of the water was a small cradle, inside which were several egg-like creatures, about the size of ostrich eggs, huddled together.
Nanako transformed into a human with a fish tail, leaping high from the water and splashing as she landed.
"Splash—"
The scene is so beautiful, it's like something out of a fairy tale movie.
“Miss Milu, you look absolutely stunning in the Siren Clan’s attire.”
Nanako swam over, wagging her tail. In her fully transformed state, a layer of blue fish scales would appear on her cheeks, a pair of triangular fins would replace her ears, and the size of her pupils would change constantly with the light.
Only at this time does the siren's appearance not look so human.
"Thank you for your hospitality. This is the Siren's nursery? It's more romantic and dreamy than I imagined."
Xu Milu looked around and noticed the small cradle in the water:
"Is that your child with Ahai?"
Nanako smiled happily, swam over, and pushed the cradle in front of Xu Milu to show it to her:
"These three are my eggs, and these four are Ahai's eggs. Aren't they cute? They're white and tender, with lots of mucus on them, and they feel smooth to the touch. You can tell at a glance that they're great eggs!"
I can't respond to that.
Xu Milu coughed and went along with the other person's compliment, saying, "Yes, really... cute."
"Pop!"
The pearl, suspended on the water's surface, slowly sank, making a soft sound. Nanako flicked her tail, and the pearl was delivered to her hand.
"Lady Milu, I would like to ask you to take a look at this."
Although Xu Milu didn't understand, she still took the pearl. The pearl was about the size of a thumb, and its surface luster had completely disappeared. She didn't even have to use any force, and the pearl turned into pearl powder.
"This is a white pearl? Why did it turn out like this?"
Looking at the pool of white pearls, Xu Milu had a vague guess in her mind, deducing that what Nanako wanted to tell her was likely related to the recent scarcity of white pearls in Pearl City.
Nanako nodded, her expression somewhat solemn:
"Lady Milu, I'm sure you know that we sirens are a race that values beauty above all else. The more powerful and beautiful a sirens' tails are, the faster they can swim and the more resources they can obtain in the ocean. But actually, we are not born with such beautiful tails."
