Do mermaids like humans?
Qi Hanyi stared at Su Su with a serious look, while the latter had an innocent and ignorant look.
Qi Hanyi thought: Maybe because Su Su is a mermaid who knows nothing, he can say such things without any scruples. If he knew about the relationship between mermaids and humans, he might be like that woman...
They hate, resent, and avoid humans, and even regard the children they have with humans as mistakes and humiliations.
Qi Hanyi quickly suppressed the emotions that surged up. None of this had anything to do with Su Su. He had never participated in the conflict between humans and mermaids, and there was nothing wrong with liking humans. Perhaps it was because of sharks' strange aesthetics, just like some humans find cats and dogs cute.
Thinking about this, Qi Hanyi heard Su Su say, "Human culture is very interesting. There are all kinds of knowledge and all kinds of strange and interesting inventions. Your food is also delicious. Before coming to the human world, I never knew that food can be used for more than just filling the stomach."
"You don't have wings, but you can fly higher than birds and go so far. You can even create a star."
Making stars? Qi Hanyi was slightly stunned, coming back to his senses from his previous gloomy mood.
He immediately realized that Su Su was talking about the Bai Ze main starship.
Because of its large size and proximity to the planet, the Shirosawa can be seen from the ground.
That was the main ship of the Interstellar Expeditionary Force, and Qi Hanyi had been living on it for almost ten years.
However, there are different opinions on the Shirazawa.
Some people see it as the salvation of mankind and look up to it like worshipping a god, while others fear its power and see it as a disaster. Some people complain that it takes up too much military funds and say it is a money-eating beast, while others try to use it to achieve their own ambitions.
Stars? This was the first time he had heard such a term.
Su Su continued to talk about his future plans: "I have always thought that it would be great if I could become a human and live on land. When the medicine takes effect, I will have succeeded. I can be a pet for others and no longer have to work hard fishing in the sea."
Qi Hanyi couldn't agree with Su Su's unsatisfactory and unrealistic idea, but he could hear that Su Su was indeed yearning for the human world and looking forward to changing his genes and becoming a human.
Qi Hanyi, however, didn't think this would go smoothly.
This medicine is very effective. Although it has some side effects, it does not seem to be fatal. If it were so easy to succeed, it should have spread among the mermaid species. All the mermaid species seen on land now are in the mermaid state and cannot switch between other forms, which means that they would rather settle for less effective medicine than try the medicine Su Su mentioned.
Qi Hanyi reasonably suspected that the success rate of this medicine was very low, or even almost impossible to succeed.
Maybe the high priest just wanted to use Su Suding to replace the mermaid princess who was originally coming for marriage. After all, he hated mermaids, and this marriage was arranged by his grandfather. If the one who married the mermaid princess Yi Qing, it would be easy to please both sides and offend the Qi family.
Although not many people knew that he was saved by a shark, it was still possible to find out if one was interested.
Regardless of whether Su Su can become a human being successfully in the end, with this medicine, he can temporarily transform into a human or a mermaid to deal with some emergencies. And as long as he can delay for a few months, the dispute between him and his grandfather will have a result.
Maybe there are other purposes: such as disrupting the plans on Liberty Island.
Thinking of Liberty Island, Qi Hanyi recalled the plan he had come up with last night.
Use Su Su as bait to catch the mermaids on Freedom Island and investigate whether they have anything to do with the Zerg.
It just so happened that grandpa suggested that I bring my mermaid companion to the banquet.
Qi Hanyi took the opportunity to mention: "There is a banquet at the Mo family the day after tomorrow. You come with me."
Su Su looked up at him: "Banquet?"
Qi Hanyi nodded and added, "Almost everyone in the aristocratic circle of the Tian Empire will be there. You need to wear women's clothes. I will introduce you to them as their wife... If you don't want to go, you can refuse. I will find someone to replace you. After all, you are going to live in the human world in the future, and it may be affected."
He shouldn't have said the last sentence. It would be safer to let Su Su follow him after he became a human than to find someone else to play the role. Not only could it ensure that the grandfather would be at ease and relax his surveillance on him in a short period of time, but it would also be easier to attract the power behind the group of people who tried to pretend to be the princess and come to marry, and confirm whether they were really involved in the secret of the Zerg Clan.
This is the most favorable situation for him. Su Su has the leverage in his hand, so he has no choice but to cooperate.
But thinking of the tone in Su Su's voice expressing his longing for the human world, Qi Hanyi suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.
This face was tied to the admiral's wife, and when Su Su left the Qi family, she would be targeted by many people. This almost cut off the possibility of Su Su leaving the Qi family and living freely in the human world.
But he didn't expect that Su Su's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly: "I want to go!"
Su Su didn't care who he was dressed as, what he was doing, or who he knew. There was only one thing on his mind: it was said that at human banquets, there were delicious foods everywhere, and you could eat as much as you wanted.
It’s strange. I just finished my meal, but why do I feel hungry again?
After hearing Su Su's statement, Qi Hanyi was silent for a rare moment, then stood up: "Since this is settled, I will take you to make some preparations tomorrow."
Allowing the other party to refuse and explaining the pros and cons was already a concession made by Qi Hanyi. Now that the other party agreed, he naturally would not persuade him anymore.
At worst, when Su Su leaves in the future, I can just ask my subordinates to take care of it.
As he was about to leave, he walked behind Su Su and picked up the military jacket that Su Su had just worn, which was draped over the back of a chair.
Just as I was about to leave, I felt the other end of my coat being pulled.
Su Su was a little reluctant to part with this dress. He thought it looked good, smelled good, and most importantly, it was worn by Qi Hanyi.
He instinctively wanted to keep the clothes, but when Qi Hanyi looked over, he let go. Qi Hanyi provided him with food and lodging, and was very good to him, so he had no right to ask for other people's things.
He didn't say anything, but his eyes were filled with reluctance and desire. Qi Hanyi understood it at a glance.
However, the military uniform has a special meaning, so he naturally couldn't give it to a mermaid.
"This one won't do." Qi Hanyi remained as indifferent as usual and strode out of Su Su's room.
The date for the banquet is the day after tomorrow. Becoming an adult is only the first step. I have to teach each other the normal etiquette of walking, sitting, lying, dressing and eating. I also need to order a new dress. The time for Qi Hanyi is very tight.
Fortunately, Su Su was very smart and he had learned it quite well in just one day.
However, the side effect of hunger was quite serious. Su Su ate six meals a day, which was almost as much as fifty people.
The night before the banquet, a dress customized according to Su Su's body data was delivered. At the same time, Qi Hanyi also asked the tailor to customize a complete set of casual clothes for Su Su for all seasons, mostly skirts, and of course there were also some trousers for easy movement. One of them had a style similar to a military uniform, and a decorative badge was added on the chest.
But Su Su had no interest in it. He felt that it was not as handsome as the one on Qi Hanyi, nor did it smell as good.
The banquet was scheduled for the next evening.
In the afternoon, Su Su followed Qi Hanyi out of their residence and took the shuttle bus to the banquet.
This was the first time Su Su truly stepped into the human world.
Although the names of shuttle cars and shuttle boats are only one letter different, they are actually completely different. Shuttle cars do not require tracks and rely entirely on intelligent networks to calculate routes and achieve automatic driving.
The Imperial City is the most prosperous place on the entire land. There are tall buildings everywhere, and roads are crisscrossed, built high above the buildings, stacked layer upon layer. The shuttles are suspended by magnets and shuttle rapidly on the bridges, with a maximum speed of more than 1,000 kilometers per hour.
Su Su was so excited that his eyes were shining. He leaned on the car door and shouted like a little kid.
"Wow, that's fast! Are we running in the sky?"
"Looking down from here, it looks like the human remains on the seabed."
"So this is what the ruins once looked like! So beautiful."
"There were a lot of white birds flying by just now. Are they pigeons? This is the first time I've seen pigeons in real life!"
Qi Hanyi was very surprised. In his impression, most mermaids were weak and timid. Even if they didn't vomit all over the place due to motion sickness when they rode this for the first time, they would usually turn pale with fear. It was the first time he saw someone as excited as Su Su.
Can we just say that sharks are gifted?
Even when he got off the bus, Su Su was still reluctant to leave. He looked back again and again, just like a kid in the amusement park who hadn't had enough fun.
"Like?" Su Su's steps were almost by centimeters, and Qi Hanyi had to stop.
"Yeah!" Su Su nodded vigorously, his eyes full of fragmented lights.
The expectation in his eyes was too obvious, and Qi Hanyi couldn't bear it and looked away: "Cooperate well tonight, and I'll let you have enough fun tomorrow."
"My husband is so nice!" Su Su hugged Qi Hanyi excitedly and rubbed his face against Qi Hanyi's body twice.
Hey, I took the opportunity to successfully stick it on and smell the good smell again.
"Hey, no hugging or shouting." His back was straight, but his movements were a little stiffer than usual.
"I know, I know. You should call me by my name." Su Su let go of his hand contentedly and whispered softly in his ear, "Qi-Han-Yi."
It was as if an electric current drilled into my ears, flowed through my blood, and went all the way to my heart, causing numbness.
Qi Hanyi quickened his pace in a panic.
For the first time, I realized that sometimes, calling out a name can be more annoying than calling it husband.
