Lanshan Club is located in the western suburbs of the imperial capital, on the side of the Lanshan Valley. There is a hot spring in the mountain. Even in winter, there are lush flowers and trees and snow on the distant mountains around. The north side of the club is the most famous Lanshan Ski Resort in the imperial capital, and the south side is next to the Mermaid Training Center.

It is the perfect place to hold a gathering for mermaid couples.

Women's clothing in winter is easier to wear than in summer, and it covers the body enough so that it is not easy to see the problem. Su Su wore a pair of thick white stockings, black low-heeled leather shoes, a knitted sweater on the upper body, and a khaki long skirt on the outside. The chest was decorated with pearls and bows, and the long hair was braided into a fishtail and fell behind her. Compared with the previous outfits, it was less elegant and more playful and cute.

But in fact, Qi Hanyi chose this dress for him for only one reason: this dress would hardly affect his movements. If anything happened, it would be easier to escape wearing this dress than a slim-fitting dress.

Su Su had no special feelings about men's and women's clothing. He just felt that this outfit was not as comfortable as those he wore everyday, but it was very beautiful. He turned the wide hem of his skirt a few times in front of the mirror, and put on the scarf, gloves and hat that Qi Hanyi had handed over. After packing up, the two of them walked out hand in hand.

The banquet hall of the Lanshan Club was already bustling with activity. The nobles had brought their own female mermaid companions here, and the men were gathered together, trying to make friends and chatting with each other. The mermaids, who were usually confined at home and had few opportunities to socialize, also took this opportunity to have a lively conversation with each other.

Some were sisters who had known each other in the Mermaid Kingdom, and many more were netizens who knew each other on the Internet. They called each other's online names and hugged each other excitedly, as if it was some large offline meeting of netizens.

Although none of the Mo brothers married mermaids, they were also present at the banquet as organizers. Especially Mo Shan, because of his distinguished family background and outstanding abilities, many people took the initiative to approach him and try to establish a relationship with him. For a while, it seemed as if he was the protagonist of the banquet.

"Mr. Moshan, I heard that the admiral will bring his mermaid here today, is that true?"

"He accepted the invitation, so he should come." Mo Shan said ambiguously, "But our General Qi is a busy man. If he has something urgent to do, we have to understand."

"Moshan, when will the currency exchange in Star Wars be possible? I have been preparing for this for a long time."

"Hey, Master Meng. I'm hoping that we can open it tomorrow, but we have to discuss this with the military, right? The studios and players you found will definitely be useful. Please wait a few more days. I'll let you know as soon as I have good news."

"Mo Shan, I think you should get married at this age. You don't have anyone in the military, so there's no need to marry a mermaid with enhanced genes. It would be better to find someone who can help you in your career, so you don't have to run around all day."

"Well, speaking of which, my cousin's daughter is just the right age for you. She graduated from the Business Administration Department of the Imperial College. I think she will be able to help you after you get married."

"Really? Such a nice girl, please introduce her to me." Mo Shan mingled with all kinds of people like a fish in water. He had to attend various banquets every now and then. This kind of social skill in dealing with people was like a gene engraved in his bones.

However, since it was a banquet attended by mermaids, the most talked about thing was mermaids. Although Mo Shan had never married a mermaid, his Mo family operated mermaid training centers throughout the empire.

Just after a few words of greeting, someone couldn't wait any longer and asked him for help.

"Mr. Mo Shan, you have to help me. I've spoiled my mermaid's temper. She's very delicate and doesn't serve me attentively. She gets angry with me when she's not satisfied. Not long ago, she even dropped the jade bracelet I gave her. She said I only cared about giving her jewelry and didn't care what she liked at all."

The man sounded more and more aggrieved as he spoke: "Mr. Mo Shan, you see, I am very busy every day, how can I care about a mermaid who is idle all day and has nothing to do and thinks about things? I work hard to provide her with food and drink, and let her live a much better life than ordinary people. Not only is she not grateful, she actually blames me for these nonsense."

Another person interrupted indignantly, "You are just getting started. Mermaids have a bad temper and are confined at home every day, so it is normal for them to be a little bit petty. My little one is terrible, like a jealous woman, checking my whereabouts every day, rummaging through my clothes, and even asking the servants to find out if I have contact with other women. After all, I have to go out and socialize, and sometimes when I have a good chat with my female companions, it is normal for us to spend the night together."

"She doesn't even realize her status. She says a partner is just to make her happy. She's just a mermaid, but she thinks she's a master. To put it bluntly, I married her because she's pretty and I want her to give birth to better offspring. As for who I like, it's none of her business."

As soon as the second person finished speaking, another person sighed. This person was a colonel in the military. His surname was Zhu. His mother was a count. Although not as noble as the Qi family and the Mo family, they still had some face in the aristocratic circle: "I care about you because she cares about you. My merman has been possessed by a ghost recently. She always wants to run away. If I don't take her out, she will slip away by herself. A few days ago, the housekeeper pulled her down from the tree in the backyard. Fortunately, she didn't run away."

"Recently, she heard about some new policy of Admiral Qi from somewhere, and she wants to take a mental test, drive a starship, and drive a mecha. She wants to show up in the game. She is distracted all day long. To me, that is not something a mermaid can do. Mermaids should stay at home and raise children. Tsk, she just thinks about these nonsense all day long..."

Before the third person could finish his words, his sleeve was suddenly tugged by the person walking with him. At the same time, he winked at the door and said, "Keep your voice down. General Qi is coming."

The official surnamed Zhu, who was talking happily, immediately fell silent, looked in the direction of Qi Hanyi at the gate, and shrank his neck. He asked his companion in a low voice: "He didn't hear it, did he?"

His companion gave him a look that said, "With your voice just now, do you think your hearing is SSS level?"

Qi Hanyi did hear what the man said just now, but compared with the resistance encountered when implementing the policy, such a little gossip was really not worth his attention.

Because he had no interest in socializing with these people, he and Su Su arrived almost at the same time as the banquet was about to start. As soon as the two of them arrived, Mo Shan announced that everyone was present and the banquet was ready to begin.

The banquet began and the mermaids returned to their partners. Su Su looked at them curiously.

Most of these mermaids are very young. The oldest ones look to be in their early thirties at most, while the youngest ones are about the same age as Su Su, having just reached adulthood not long ago.

Mermaids are beautiful because of their bloodline, and their partners are also good-looking, probably because their ancestors also have mermaid bloodline. Looking over at this time, a large group of handsome men and beautiful women are dressed gorgeously, which is very pleasing to the eye.

At this time, those people also kept looking at Su Su.

Su Su has become very famous recently, especially after Qi Hanyi personally clarified his identity on the Internet. Many people have secretly wondered what kind of fierce mermaid he is to be able to perform such amazing operations in the game, or what means this mermaid used to make Qi Hanyi, who always hated mermaids, treat him differently, and even tolerate him, and even take the responsibility of defying the laws of the empire.

Now they understood. Everyone knew that mermaids were beautiful, but it was rare even among mermaids to have a natural and charming appearance like Su Su. If Qi Hanyi's aura was not too strong and his eyes were too fierce, those who looked at Su Su would probably dare to be more explicit.

There are also people who secretly think that mermaid princesses are different from ordinary mermaids. They are of noble blood and much more beautiful. If they could marry such a beautiful mermaid, it would not be impossible to pamper and indulge her a little more.

The mermaids were also looking at Su Su, but unlike the human males at the table, they were mostly thinking about Su Su's identity and why he looked so unfamiliar. The Mermaid Kingdom was a small place, and the mermaids waiting for marriage would attend classes in the same place, but they had never seen such a beautiful mermaid.

A few mermaids had a strange light in their eyes at this time, looking at Su Su with the excitement and admiration of seeing their idol. They were more informed and knew that Su Su had shined in the human starship competition as a mermaid, proving that mermaids were not only valuable as vases and children, but also could use their mental power to kill insects on the battlefield, no worse than their husbands.

The banquet began. Mo Shan deliberately whetted everyone's appetite. When everyone had finished sizing each other up, he began to introduce the identities of the participants one by one.

Qi Hanyi has the highest status and just joined this year, so Mo Shan introduced him first: "Everyone should have seen Admiral Qi. He is the commander of our Imperial Expeditionary Force and the mainstay of defending planets and resisting the Zerg. As for the mermaid lady next to him, she is also very unusual. Not long ago, in the starship driving competition in "Star Wars", she won the only place to advance to the finals. Our Admiral Qi also specifically stated that this is the one he has set his sights on, the future successor of the Bai Ze."

"Oh, her bloodline is also very noble. I heard that she is the most favored princess of the Mermaid Kingdom. Her name is... Yiqing."

At this point, Mo Shan paused for a moment, revealing a somewhat annoyed look: "Look at my brain, since she is the princess of the Mermaid Kingdom, I think the mermaid ladies from the Mermaid Kingdom should recognize her."

There was a small discussion in the crowd, and the mermaids exchanged puzzled looks with each other. Many of them had seen Yi Qing before, and she definitely did not look like this. The color of her eyes and hair was wrong, and the outline of her facial features was also different.

The mermaids looked at each other, as if they were hesitating whether to speak out, but most of them chose to remain silent. Impersonating a mermaid princess is a serious crime, and where is the real Yi Qing? If the matter is exposed, the impersonator will surely die, and the Mermaid Kingdom will inevitably be implicated. Many of their families are still there, so how can they dare to take such a risk?

As if he didn't understand the situation, Mo Shan looked around in confusion, and said with a smile: "Why do I feel like everyone seems to have some doubts about the identity of our Princess Yi Qing?"

As he spoke, he glanced at a corner of the hall. There was a young noble council member. His partner looked about the same age as Su Su and married here last year. After receiving the gaze, the mermaid girl stood up almost immediately, pointed at Su Su and said sharply: "She is not Princess Yiqing. I have seen Princess Yiqing. She has black hair, is very petite, and has sweet and well-behaved features. She looks completely different from him."

Mo Shan seemed to be very surprised, and he was still advising: "Hey, you can't say such things carelessly. Impersonating someone else and deceiving the empire is a fatal crime. Miss Mermaid, please look carefully. Is this really not Princess Yiqing?"

"She...is not." The mermaid girl said with a pale face and trembling lips.

"Yes, she is right. I am indeed not Yi Qing." Su Su was not panicked at all and even stuffed a shrimp ball into his mouth.

In contrast, the mermaid who was pointing was now filled with panic, as if the positions of the pointer and the pointed out were reversed.

The mermaid girl's body seemed to be in great pain. She looked away guiltily, not daring to look into Su Su's eyes. She knew that this sentence would kill him, and she had no choice. If she didn't do what he said, her husband, who was under the command of the Mo family, would send her back to the mermaid training center, which was hell... She never wanted to go in again.

Su Su has already admitted that some mermaids who have a crush on him and even want to protect him can only remain silent.

This was exactly what Su Su wanted. His identity was fake, so it was easy to investigate. There was no need to get others involved in trouble for their own affairs.

Su Su and Qi Hanyi had anticipated this situation before they came. If the people behind Yan Bai could tell the Mo family about his online identity, they would certainly not let go of his real identity.

It was only natural for the mermaid to point him out at the banquet. Even if he was not present, the other party would still have other means to bring the matter to light.

Hiding something will only give the other party a handle to hold against you, so it is better to admit it frankly.

Su Su showed a row of white teeth, and his beautiful eyes curved into a crescent shape: "Hello everyone, let me introduce myself again, my name is Su Su."
