Huo Xiaodao was confused when he heard Gu Qingxi's answer, thinking that he had misheard: "Aunt Gu, what did you say? I didn't hear it clearly just now."
Gu Qingxi was silent. She didn't want to say this again.
"You heard it right." Ji Wuhen saw the embarrassment of the little junior sister and spoke to help, "The little junior sister is here to participate in the training competition. She has the power of mermaid blood and can transform into a mermaid form."
Huo Xiaodao opened his mouth wide.
Then he remembered that when he and Aunt Gu were mining on the seabed, Aunt Gu transformed into a mermaid form. (Relevant content is in Chapter 856)
But after he was surprised at that time, his attention was on the crowbar in Aunt Gu's hand.
After asking Aunt Gu for the crowbar, he concentrated on enjoying the happiness brought to him by the crowbar.
Now think about it, when Aunt Gu transformed into a mermaid form, it seemed... she became smaller?
So, Aunt Gu is really going to participate in the training competition of the mermaid cubs?
After Ye Wuchen finished talking with the Mermaid King, he came to Gu Qingxi and called out softly with a smile, "Qingxi."
"Wuchen." Gu Qingxi also responded gently.
Ji Wuhen: "..."
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought that Wuqing Sword had been possessed by someone.
He had never seen Wuqing Sword so... tender and affectionate? Well, the word "tender and affectionate" to describe Ye Wuchen always gave him goose bumps.
However, the Ye Wuchen in front of him gave him a very gentle feeling, and he was completely different from the cold and indifferent Wuqing Sword he had seen before!
Ji Wuhen had to admit that when Ye Wuchen smiled, he was truly charming and beautiful.
Some young female mermaids on the boat couldn't help but look over here frequently, and their eyes fell on Ye Wuchen and didn't look back for a long time.
"Be careful in this training competition." Ye Wuchen gently said.
Gu Qingxi nodded and smiled and responded.
Ji Wuhen: "..."
Wake up, little sister, don't be fooled by a man's appearance!
I'm so angry, I really want to pierce Wuqing Sword with one sword!
-------------------------
Every time the mermaid cubs are training and competing, the Mermaid King will show up, this is to encourage the cubs, but also to supervise the fairness of the competition.
More than a dozen huge ships, carrying mermaid cubs and some adult mermaids, quickly headed to the sea area for the training and competition.
After arriving at the designated sea area, the mermaid cubs jumped off the boat one after another and transformed into mermaid forms.
Gu Qingxi also jumped off the boat, transformed into a mermaid form, and swam to the designated place.
Ji Wuhen stood by the side of the ship, staring at the little apprentice sister who had turned into a cub.
Chubby arms, snow-white skin, and golden fish tail appeared and disappeared underwater.
Ah, the little apprentice sister is so cute!
Ji Wuhen glanced at Ye Wuchen from the corner of his eye, and saw that Ye Wuchen was also staring at the smaller Gu Qingxi, with a slight smile on his lips.
Ji Wuhen: "..." Drill your eyes!
After all the mermaid cubs arrived at the designated sea area, the person in charge of this competition began to explain the rules.
The rules are actually very simple. Each mermaid cub will get a jade bracelet to wear on its wrist.
This bracelet will record the level and number of sea beasts hunted by the cubs, and then count the points.
The time limit is seven days.
After seven days, return here to register the scores and finally decide the ranking.
When distributing the bracelets, Gu Qingxi noticed that the mermaid cubs stood in clear lines.
The mermaid cubs with black fish tails gathered together, the cubs with silver fish tails huddled together, and the cubs with golden fish tails were in another group.
Gu Qingxi remembered that Xia Tian said that the mermaids with black fish tails were the most numerous in the mermaid tribe, and most of them could not practice.
But the mermaid tribe itself is far more powerful than mortals, and its lifespan is more than ten times that of humans.
The mermaids with silver fish tails can all practice, and their strength is not weak.
The golden fishtails are the royal family of the mermaids, with the purest blood and the most powerful strength, but of course the smallest number.
These three fishtail colors divide the levels of the mermaids.
But Gu Qingxi was excluded by all three groups.
Because all the mermaids knew the news that the unruly Prince Ji had found the cub who was stranded outside.
But this cub is half mermaid!
It is a half-demon born from the union of a human and a mermaid. It is the chubby cub with the golden fishtail.
They will never admit that such a half-demon is from their mermaid clan!
And before, Ji Yunlin wanted to find a powerful cub to help Gu Qingxi, but was rejected by Gu Qingxi. So Gu Qingxi participated in this experience competition alone.
Ji Wuhen looked at Gu Qingxi floating alone in a body of water, while the other three teams of cubs stayed far away from her. Many cubs even looked at Gu Qingxi with contempt and whispered about her. Ji Wuhen felt a pain in his heart.
Little did he know that Gu Qingxi felt sorry for the fifth brother at the moment.
As the fifth brother was a half-demon, the mermaids excluded him and bullied him, and humans also excluded him and hated him.
The world is big, but there is no place for half-demons.
And how many times has the fifth brother suffered such treatment today?
How did the fifth brother survive his childhood?
Ji Wuhen silently looked at the little sister floating on the water, waiting for the training to begin, and his heart ached.
At this time, Huo Xiaodao's voice rang out: "Humph, these little fools, how dare you look down on my Aunt Gu? When my Aunt Gu is first, I will ridicule them! They despise my Aunt Gu for being half-mermaid, but they can't even compare to a half-mermaid's scales!"
Ye Wuchen's voice came, his tone was calm: "Yes, I will slap them in the face after Qingxi is first."
Ji Wuhen was stunned. Ye Wuchen's tone was very calm, but the content of his words was really full of sarcasm.
It really has nothing to do with Ye Wuchen's aloof and arrogant personality!
So...
Ye Wuchen's down-to-earth look now is his true self.
Did he reveal his true self after meeting the little junior sister?
Ji Wuhen felt a little depressed when he thought of this. Ye Wuchen, this guy, might have set his sights on the little junior sister.
Humph, anyway, love and affection, we have to wait until the little junior sister has cultivated successfully!
"It's started! Eh? Master, why are there so many adult mermaids following?" Huo Xiaodao's voice interrupted Ji Wuhen's thoughts.
Ji Wuhen also looked up at the waters ahead and saw that after an order was given, many mermaid cubs scrambled to swim forward.
And not far behind these mermaid cubs, there were many adult mermaids following.
Ye Wuchen explained: "It's to protect these mermaid cubs. Although it's an experience, their safety must be put first. But they will not interfere with the cubs' experience unless it is absolutely necessary."
Huo Xiaodao finally understood.
Gu Qingxi was also swimming hard. Not far behind her, there was also an adult mermaid.
This adult mermaid was a guard in the palace, and was ordered by the Mermaid King to protect Gu Qingxi.
He followed behind slowly, and deep down he actually despised Ji Yunlin.
Ji Yunlin was a noble royal family, but he gave birth to such a half-mermaid.
This was a stain on the royal bloodline.
Naturally, he had no good feelings towards Gu Qingxi who was swimming in front, but because of his loyalty to the king, he would protect this half-mermaid cub.
