Due to lack of water, Bo Chi's legs lost their moist luster and took on a pale complexion. This did not seem obvious because they were wrapped in trousers, but an unbearable feeling of dryness surged up. Bo Chi's emotions fluctuated, and his mind felt a sharp pain again. He couldn't help but turn his long legs back into a fish tail.
The pants the maid handed her seemed to be of special construction. They were not torn by the sudden change. Instead, they glowed on the surface and turned into a translucent, hazy gauze in the blink of an eye, gently covering the azure fishtail.
The cold and smooth tail scales refracted the sunlight, and with the white gauze half-covering it, it looked even more beautiful like a dream.
Yu Zhao didn't notice this.
She froze at the door for a long time without moving in, wondering what to do next.
Build a temporary pool?
no.
She doesn't have that much money.
Put the little mermaid in the bathtub first?
But the bathtub is so cramped and small, and given the mermaid's willful and delicate temper, she would definitely scratch and claw in anger, right?
Yu Zhao, who bought the mermaid on impulse, only discovered the difficulty at this time.
The status she gained through fighting on the battlefield did give her the priority to choose mermaids, and the accumulated merits also allowed her to easily obtain valuable mermaids. But these were only a prelude. Mermaids were not ordinary commodities that could be bought and put aside. She also had to prepare many things to care for and please them.
And all of these require star coins as support.
Yu Zhao's star coins had long been used up in the purchase of potions over the years, and her spiritual realm was still filled with unstable factors, often falling into a manic riot after using her mental power.
In order to prevent herself from becoming an irrational killer one day, she moved to the sparsely populated north and actively used drugs to suppress her headaches. However, the more potions she drank, the worse the effect they had on her. Now, one or two bottles of potions could no longer curb her headaches, and she had to use her precious and priceless merits to exchange for a large amount of potions.
——This was originally expected.
The reality is that she was seduced by the beauty of the little mermaid, and her years of rational restraint became a joke. In a fit of excitement, she spent most of her fortune in exchange for this little ancestor. Even when her forehead was aching slightly, she was still thinking about where to put the little mermaid.
She was so absorbed in thought that she didn't move for a long time.
Bo Chi looked at her in confusion, straightened her slender waist, and was ready to wave her hand in front of her eyes to call her back to her senses, but she accidentally used too much force, and her fish tail suddenly jumped and hit Yu Zhao's face accurately.
Bo Chi: “!”
Yes, I'm sorry, she didn't mean it!
The little mermaid was stunned, and Yu Zhao, who was photographed, also came to his senses and subconsciously stretched out his hand.
There is a layer of water film on the azure fish tail, which feels cool and moist. The fish scales are arranged in layers and extend downwards until they stop at the tail fin.
Yu Zhao's hand slid across the white gauze, brushed across the scales, and finally grasped the soft, light-colored tail fin. He tightened his hand as the girl's slightly widened almond eyes opened, causing the girl in his arms to let out a sweet and alluring scream.
Yu Zhao paused and looked down at the little mermaid.
Bo Chi shrank his head in shame and said softly, "Don't, don't touch it... It's so weird..."
Yu Zhao was stunned. His cheeks were hot as he withdrew his hands. He slid back to her knees, hugged her and walked towards the room, changing the subject: "There is no pool at my house."
Bo Chi was distracted and said stupidly, "Then, what should we do?"
Yu Zhao said carefully, "You can take a bath in my bathtub - if you don't mind."
Bo Chi certainly wouldn't mind such a small matter, and nodded obediently: "Thank you for your help."
Yu Zhao couldn't help but steal a glance at her again.
Mermaids have a very high status nowadays. Even someone like her who is totally uninterested in them knows what kind of temper most mermaids have. They are the kind of people who can force even the calmest and most honest of her subordinates to grow white hair. A mermaid with a soft, quiet temperament like that of a girl seems to be an impossible miracle.
Yu Zhao felt more and more that the girl was good. He hurried through the simple, dark-colored living room, ignored the stupid household robot, and strode into the bathroom.
The bathtub was automatically filled with water. Yu Zhao checked the water temperature and carefully placed the thin wings in slowly.
The slightly cool water soaked the fish tail and gently wrapped around the thin-winged body. She squinted her eyes comfortably, truly "like a fish in water", stretching her limbs with satisfaction, and swaying her slender waist involuntarily. The hazy white gauze rippled in the water, and the long fish tail rose and fell with it.
Yu Zhao watched from the side, his eyes gradually dimming, and suddenly reached his hand into the water, stroking the girl's beautiful fish tail.
Bo Chi was startled, and his body responded faster than his thoughts. The fish tail suddenly lifted up and slapped Yu Zhao's face.
Yu Zhao was prepared this time. He did not move his body but tilted his head slowly, just brushing past the tail of the fish.
However, before she could smile, the thin-winged fish tail fell, splashing high water and successfully splashing her all over.
Bo Chi was silent for two seconds, then said weakly, "You were the first to make the move."
Yu Zhao was both angry and amused, but he did not shirk his responsibility. He nodded and said, "Sorry, it's my fault. I will get the sink room ready as soon as possible and give you a comfortable and spacious home. You can rest here first. If you have any problems, ask the housekeeper to call me."
Bo Chi saw that she had something to deal with and couldn't just watch him soak in the water, so he nodded obediently to indicate that he would be obedient.
Yu Zhao stood up and left the bathroom. Her gentle expression became solemn the moment she walked out. She frowned tightly, pressing her forehead with her slender fingers, revealing an irritability that she had never shown in front of the little mermaid.
The household robot came to her side, its emerald green eyes flashing red, and mechanically said: "It is detected that your mental power has reached the critical point of riot. Please take the mental medicine as soon as possible. Please take it as soon as possible. The mental medicine storage is insufficient, and the account balance is not enough. Please make money as soon as possible. Please make money as soon as possible!"
Yu Zhao: “…”
To avoid the little mermaid playing in the water hearing such embarrassing words, Yu Zhao endured the headache, and with a gloomy face, he hastily cut off the robot's program, then staggered into the martial arts room. The moment he closed the door, he couldn't help but burst out with a chaotic and powerful mental force, which blew up the crystal chandelier above his head and scattered glass all over the floor.
The noise in the martial arts room did not reach outside. Bo Chi lazily soaked in the water. When he was drowsy, he suddenly remembered that he had not yet received the full story. He supported the base of the bathtub with his hands, half leaned against the smooth wall and closed his eyes.
The male protagonist of this world is a calm and honest deputy general. He has a crush on his childhood sweetheart and plans to go back and confess his love to her after the final war against the Zerg Queen. In the end, he did come back, but the heroine had already transformed into a mermaid and was picked up by a nobleman in advance.
Even though the heroine lost her mind, she still remembered the hero and was extremely resistant to the noble's approach. She would often scream and scratch the noble hysterically. The noble tried for three months, but finally reported to the mermaid base with a sad face.
This was the first time the base encountered such a situation. After repeated investigations into whether the nobles had abused the mermaids behind their backs, and discovering that the nobles were truly wronged, the heroine became the first mermaid to be recovered.
But this does not affect her hot sales. Countless people are unwilling to give up even the slightest chance and always fantasize that they will be the exception. However, this world is a healing sweet story. The male protagonist did not give others a chance and bought the mermaid himself.
He took the heroine home to see his parents, took her to places where they had shared memories, and tried hard to turn her into the bright girl she once was.
The heroine went from being a bad-tempered and "willful" mermaid to gradually becoming the hero's tacit partner. There were many times when the hero thought his lover had returned to normal, but until the moment of the end, the heroine still launched an indiscriminate attack when giving birth.
The male protagonist rescued his wife and children in time, but he also gave up his years of persistence in despair. He just accepted the current appearance of the female protagonist and loved her forever - just like every family with mermaids in the galaxy.
In this story, Yu Zhao is just a cannon fodder. As the hero's immediate superior, she quickly became obscure when there was no war. In the end, because her spiritual domain collapsed, she lost control and killed many nobles. She carried the people's fear and hatred and died on the land she once protected.
The other party did not hate those people, and his mission in his heart was unexpectedly calm - [Make the spiritual realm permanently stable and do not kill innocent people indiscriminately. 】
As for the original owner of Bo Chi, Qi Shi Qi, he was a nameless background board. He had no relationship with the male and female protagonists, nor did he have any contact with Yu Zhao. He lived an ordinary life with a noble and gave birth to seven children.
Although it is a sweet story, Bo Chi always felt upset after reading it, especially when she knew that the heroine was originally a thoughtful and proactive person who longed to join the army logistics after adulthood and fight side by side with the hero on the battlefield. She could not tolerate the fact that after the hero turned into a merman, he ate, slept, or cried like a child, losing his past humanity, and looked like he was being kept in captivity.
It may be true that the upper echelons of the empire portrayed mermaids as the hope of the nation, but in the eyes of rational people, transforming from a human into a mermaid is truly a terrifying and sad thing.
Bo Chi felt a little heavy-hearted, and a clear and firm idea emerged in her mind - she wanted to change this situation, she wanted the mermaids to regain their past memories and thoughts, she wanted to see mermaids and humans get along equally and fall in love freely, instead of being nurtured in the base in a daze and being picked away in a daze.
However, ideas are just ideas. Bo Chi knows nothing about the interstellar world and is even more confused about genes and evolution. He has no idea how to start.
Fortunately, she has a universal system.
The system was surprised by her thoughts: [You actually have such a grand wish and ambition. I thought you would ask me how to use contraception and not give birth to seven children. 】
Bo Chi: […Yes, this is also very important! I don't want to have a baby, I'm still a child myself! 】
System: [A child with sexual life? 】
Bo Chi: [Huh, you have any objection? 】
As he traveled through more worlds, Bo Chi and the system became very good friends. After a round of bickering, the system said cheerfully: [I can tell you, but you still have to follow the old rules and give points before you can do anything. 】
Bo Chi said casually: [Can you give me a discount? I have made purchases from you many times, so I am considered an old customer. 】
The system laughed: [Brothers should settle accounts clearly. What do you want a discount for? Don’t you want to stay in this small world with Yu Zhao for a while longer? Why are you in such a hurry to accumulate points? 】
Bo Chi's heart skipped a beat, and he was flustered as if a secret had been exposed. He stammered helplessly: "Don't talk nonsense, I have always wanted to bring Yu Zhao back to reality! 】
The system said without any expression: [Are you sure? I remember you were quite worried that after returning to reality, Yu Zhao would have no memory of this place and would continue to be lukewarm towards you, right? 】
Bo Chi remained silent, and after two seconds he said fiercely: "If you chat with me again, I will report you for interfering with the host's mission at work. 】
system:【? ? ? 】
After the threat, the system calmed down, deducted points and got down to business: [Have you ever wondered why the mermaids in this world have different personalities but all like psychic potions? And why was that invisible power you exuded before able to push away the maid who was holding you? 】
Bo Chi did not think about these things in detail. When he heard the system single out these things, he immediately pondered: [Spiritual potion, invisible power... Could it be that mermaids are not completely useless except for their reproductive ability, they actually have a spiritual domain? ! 】
The system praised them for being smart and explained: [Yes, mermaids are not actually regressing in evolution as the interstellar people thought. They just need too much spiritual energy, so much that a single individual cannot replenish it. They can only maintain a half-evolved state, and their emotions are as free as those of a toddler. 】
The system also gave Bo Chi a spoiler: [In fact, in a few decades, a large number of mermaids will absorb a large amount of medicine and formally evolve into perfect bodies. Not only will they have excellent capabilities for sea combat, but they will also be able to heal the damaged spirits of the warriors through singing. It was also from that time that the mermaids escaped from the situation of being raised in captivity, possessed their own independent personalities, and truly became autonomous creatures. 】
Bo Chi was shocked after hearing this. After a moment of stunned silence, his eyes lit up: [You said that perfect mermaids can heal the spiritual realm? Am I perfect now? Should I allow Yu Zhao's spiritual realm to stabilize permanently? 】
She asked three questions in a row, not disguising her urgency in her tone.
The system could only helplessly tell the truth: [You have not absorbed enough mental power. According to your current development situation, there are two ways to speed up. One is to drink mental potions day and night to absorb the mental power stored in them. According to conservative estimates, it would take about 20,000 to 30,000 bottles, which converted into money is 96.7 billion star coins. 】
The thin wings split on the spot.
Let’s not talk about whether she can finish so much and how many years it will take to finish it. Just think about the amount of money... You can’t get so much even if you sell her!
[Not necessarily.] The system reminded her: Mermaids have a high status in the interstellar space, especially when smuggled to pirate gangs. This is a very profitable business. Of course, the significance and risk of doing this are also extremely high. I suggest you don't think about this kind of "I sell myself" operation. It's best for you to stay here with Yu Zhao. After each mermaid is bought by a noble, the base will pay a regular return visit to see if your quality of life has declined. They will also give you a large sum of star coins every month, as well as a lot of fresh food and hot-selling toys, and this behavior will continue until the day you die. 】
So as long as you live long enough. 】The system encouraged: 【There will be a day when you will become a perfect body! 】
Bo Chi: […Thank you. I’ll choose the second option then. 】
The system shrugged: [Okay, the second option requires cooperation. As long as you kiss and hug someone with strong mental power, you will absorb mental power from the other person. Theoretically, as long as you cuddle with Yu Zhao often enough and for long enough, you will become a perfect body faster - by the way, I have to add that the perfect body refers to the spiritual realm. Your appearance is still that of an adult. Whether before or after perfection, being intimate with Yu Zhao does not count as Yu Zhao being abnormal. 】
Thin Wings: [……]
There is actually such a sexy plan.
It's really rare to see this.
Bo Chi was clicking his tongue in his heart, but his body was very honest. He opened his mouth and called out, "Butler?"
The household robot whose central program was cut off by Yu Zhao did not respond.
Bo Chi shouted twice again, and seeing that no one paid attention to him, he turned his fish tail into a pair of tender white legs and walked out of the bathtub.
The light flickered, and a short skirt appeared on her lower body. The lace on the hem of the skirt was like a girl's little trick, making her temperament even sweeter.
Walking out of the bathroom cautiously, Bo Chi saw the robot standing at the door.
Just now when she was in Yu Zhao's arms, she didn't pay close attention to her surroundings. Now when she looked closely, she found that the robot was a stupid iron lump wearing a tuxedo and had two holes on its round head, which seemed to be eyes?
Its two hands hung at its sides, and it was unclear what was wrong with it, but it just stood at the door motionless.
Bo Chi felt it was terrifying, and with water dripping from his hair and fingertips, he became even more afraid to touch it, for fear of getting an electric shock. After walking around Tiehanhan, she walked around the living room and saw that the Yu family's home was decorated in a very minimalist style. There were only simple sofas and other furniture in the empty living room, nothing else.
Bo Chi quickly withdrew his gaze and focused on the room with a closed door not far away.
Is that the study? Or Yu Zhao's bedroom?
She walked to the door curiously and knocked.
Before the person inside could respond, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded above Bo Chi's head: "Wrong fingerprint, you do not have permission to enter the martial arts room."
Wow.
Doors can actually talk?
My goodness, how many surprises are there in the interstellar world that she doesn’t know about!
Just as Bo Chi was surprised, the door was opened from the inside. Yu Zhao leaned his arms against the wall, standing with a slightly tilted posture. When he looked down at Bo Chi, he almost covered her in shadow. A cold, wild and casual aura blew towards her, making Bo Chi blush suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Yu Zhao put his other hand on his collar, and his slender fingers with distinct joints loosened the collar, revealing a section of his collarbone. She seemed to be practicing in the martial arts room just now. At this moment, beads of sweat were rolling down her cheeks. She raised her hand to wipe them off, and then she casually brushed her drooping black hair behind her head. Her beautiful face was clearly revealed in front of Bo Chi. Her narrow and long phoenix eyes stared at Bo Chi steadily, and continued to ask: "Are you uncomfortable soaking in the bathtub?"
While asking the questions, Yu Zhao was also trying to calm his mind.
Thanks to her previous violent outburst, she managed to suppress the restlessness in her mind at the cost of destroying most of the house, and was able to talk calmly with the little mermaid.
The little mermaid who had left the water was slow to answer immediately. Yu Zhao took the opportunity to look her up and down and found that her long dark blue hair hung in front of her, slightly curled at the ends, smooth and shiny. It was obvious that she had been soaked in enough water, and he couldn't help feeling relieved.
“You—” Looking at Yu Zhao closely, Bo Chi seemed to be back in elementary school, the scene when he first saw him. His ears turned red and he was stuck for a long time before he remembered what to say. He stammered, “No, I’m not feeling uncomfortable. I just wanted to find you.”
Yu Zhao didn't understand what 'want to find you' meant at first, but when she belatedly remembered that she was the little mermaid's partner, she came back to her senses and said, "Sit on the sofa first, I'll wash my face and then go to accompany you."
Bo Chi nodded obediently.
After she turned and left, Yu Zhao quickly closed the door, ignoring the half-demolished interior, and directly opened the intelligent brain to find his married subordinate: [I have something to talk to you about. Received a reply. ]
The subordinate quickly sent a reply: [Report to the Marshal, received! ]
Yu Zhao had a serious face and thought for a long time without knowing what to say, so he asked tactfully: [What does your mermaid like? Which channel do you like to watch? What kind of food do you usually eat? Will she act coquettishly towards you? How do you respond to her acting cute? ]
The subordinate did not answer for a long time. After a while, he said word by word: "Marshal, this is the first time I see someone poaching someone and actively asking the owner of the wall from which angle he should poach. ]
Yu Zhao reacted, rubbed his forehead speechlessly, and said unhappily: [Deputy General Shen, you think too much. I just bought a mermaid and don’t know how to take care of it, so I thought of asking you. ]
This time, the subordinate responded much faster, and the shock was visible between the lines: [Where did you buy the mermaid? ? A deal with the pirates? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by the Empire? And, and I seem to remember... you used to hate mermaids very much, and when you saw my Dai'er, you showed a look of disgust! ]
Yu Zhao said confidently: [Yes, she is too noisy and willful, not my type. I like girls with long black-blue hair, mermaids with azure blue tails, and soft girls with sweet and obedient personalities. Your childhood sweetheart is too annoying, I don’t like her. ]
The subordinate was a little speechless: [She is my wife, it is enough for me to like her, I don’t need you to - you just said that she has a good and obedient personality? ? Did you buy the fake mermaid? Everyone in the galaxy knows that mermaids are often restless and angry, and throw things around. They are natural enemies of the word "well-behaved". There are no obedient mermaids in the world. You must have been deceived! ]
Yu Zhao snorted coldly: [I bought it at the mermaid base. Do you think I would buy a fake mermaid? ]
[……] The subordinate paused for a moment and decisively changed his mind: [That means you are lying to me! In short, it is impossible for a mermaid to be naturally quiet! ]
——Even his childhood sweetheart has become fierce, and the other mermaids must be even more aggressive.
Seeing that he was holding on to this point, Yu Zhao clicked his tongue and opened the door a crack, then took a photo of Bo Chi who was waiting on the sofa with his face in his hands. After admiring it for a while, he sent it to his subordinate with secret pride, saying, "You're right, mermaids are all bad-tempered. Look at this one at home. I just made her wait for a while, and she puffed up her face and looked a little bored. She's really not cute." ]
Subordinates: [? ? ? ? ]
A series of question marks filled Yu Zhao's vision. She raised her lips and said with a refreshed look: [Do you still believe it now? ]
The subordinate did not respond as if he had disappeared.
Yu Zhao waited and waited, and finally raised his eyebrows: [Even if you suddenly get into a car accident, you have to tell me before you die what mermaids like, otherwise I will come to your house in person and pinch your neck to demand an answer, understand? ]
[Although you have saved me countless times on the battlefield, I still want to say... threatening people is not a good quality for a leader. I hope you know that. Thank you. ]The subordinate seemed to be awakened, and muttered silently in his heart, then said anxiously: [I believe you are lucky, so can you tell me, did your mermaid become obedient gradually after you bought it, or was it very obedient before you bought it? ]
Yu Zhao was very dissatisfied with the word "shitty luck", but she knew the concerns of her subordinates, so she said calmly: "I just bought Chi Chi not long ago, and I haven't had much contact with her. She is a natural good child, different from your childhood sweetheart, so I don't know how to make your childhood sweetheart regain her original nature. Sorry."
The subordinate paused for a moment before saying, "I understand. You don't need to apologize..."
He paused, gently changed the subject, and got back to business: [As for what mermaids like, I only know that they generally like psychotropic potions, uh, which is what people in the mermaid base usually call drinking neinei. ]
Yu Zhao fell silent.
Psychotropic potion?
She couldn't even afford it herself, so where would she get the extra to feed the little mermaid?
[This one doesn’t work, try another one.] Yu Zhao’s heart was filled with guilt towards Bo Chi, but it was impossible. No money meant no money. What else could she do? She is also desperate!
The subordinate did not think much about it, recalling Qingmei's preferences, and said: [In addition to psychiatric potions, Dai'er also likes some aggressive things, such as toys that suddenly pop out, small snakes with teeth pulled out, these things that will not hurt her body but allow her to vent her mania, and are most likely to cause her emotional response. ]
Yu Zhao secretly kept it in mind, but was afraid of keeping Bo Chi outside waiting for too long, so he urged, "What else? What else does the mermaid like to talk about?"
The subordinate said helplessly: [Dai'er doesn't like to talk, nor does she like to pay attention to me. She usually plays by herself. The few times she talks to me, she is always scolding me. ]
Yu Zhao: [……]
She really doesn't like creatures like mermaids.
——Well, except Wing Wing.
After asking about some of the mermaid's favorite shows, Yu Zhao ended the conversation with his subordinates, straightened his clothes, and opened the door with ease.
As soon as she appeared, the little mermaid raised her head and looked at her.
Even though she had been waiting for such a long time, the other party did not show any sign of being angry. Instead, he smiled at her, moved his little butt to the side, patted the seat next to him in a friendly manner, and actively gestured for her to sit over.
Yu Zhao sat down calmly, turned on his smart brain, and said to her calmly: "Shen You recommended me a few movies that you mermaids like to watch. Can I show them to you now?"
Bo Chi immediately understood why she had been hiding in the room. He smiled, nodded, and thought about something in his heart.
Shen You? This is the protagonist's name.
That’s right, Yu Zhao is still the male protagonist’s immediate superior, so it’s normal for them to have contact.
After Bo Chi figured it out, he didn't take it to heart. He leaned towards Yu Zhao and looked curiously at the virtual light screen in front of him.
She waited attentively for the film to start, but Yu Zhao felt a little uncomfortable and even held his breath slightly. He always felt that they were too close, so close that he could smell the fresh scent of sea salt on the girl with just a sniff.
Do you want to sit further away quietly?
In order to avoid being unable to restrain herself from "sucking" the mermaid again, Yu Zhao thought about this problem very seriously. However, before she could think it through, the movie suddenly started playing, and a hideous ghost face suddenly rushed in front of the camera, successfully scaring Bo Chi, who was watching the movie quietly, so much that his heart stopped. After a scream, he buried himself in Yu Zhao's arms trembling, and his long legs were frightened out of their original shape and turned back into a fish tail, as if it was a dried salted fish, straight and stiff, unable to move, just frozen in place.
Yu Zhao was stunned for a moment, then quickly cut off the intelligent computer. He stroked Bo Chi's back with his warm palm, and gently comforted the little mermaid who was frightened.
Bo Chi never expected that Yu Zhao would play such a horror movie, and he was caught off guard and almost burst into tears. Now, he recovered after being comforted by Yu Zhao, but he completely lost the desire to cultivate feelings with him. He glared at Yu Zhao angrily, then angrily turned back to his legs, turned around and ran back to the bathroom.
Yu Zhao stayed where he was silently. He took back his hand and took a deep breath. He pulled the corners of his lips together in a smile of anger and opened his smart computer to contact Shen You again.
But this time, she didn't chat with the other party, but clicked on a video that allowed her to curse at the person face to face.
**
The ghost face had a great impact on Bo Chi. She was so scared that she turned on the bathroom light in broad daylight and dared not close her eyes while soaking in the water, for fear that a face would suddenly pop out from somewhere.
After angrily blowing bubbles in the water for a long time, Bo Chi heard a light knock on the door, followed by Yu Zhao's cautious voice: "I just cursed, coughed, and asked Shen You, he said that his mermaid likes to watch this kind of movie very much, and every time she watches it, she will be very lively, so he recommended it to me. After I told him about your reaction, he expressed his apology to you, and will come to apologize to you in person in a few days, so... please don't be angry, okay?"
Bo Chi did not answer, but instead slapped his tail on the water, making a crisp sound.
Yu Zhao touched his nose, knowing that she was still angry, he could only coax her through the door. He then returned to the sofa, pondered for a long time, opened his smart brain, and honestly downloaded the "Comprehensive Knowledge of Mermaids". He frowned and read it carefully, hoping to find a way to make the little mermaid happy.
Two hours later, she was still frowning and had found nothing, while a group of people with unfriendly expressions had come to her home and submitted a visit application.
The central intelligent computer in the room received the message and reported to its master truthfully: "Ms. Chen from the mermaid training base wants to meet with you. May I ask if you would like to open the protective shield?"
Yu Zhao's mind moved, he closed the book and nodded: "Let them in."
In less than a moment, Miss Chen led a group of subordinates and walked into the living room aggressively, saying, "Marshal Yu Zhao, please return the mermaid to our base!"
Yu Zhao's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a leisurely tone: "Miss Chen, are you kidding? I have the right to choose the mermaid first, and I have paid enough merits. All transactions are fair and just. What qualifications do you have to ask me to return the mermaid?"
Miss Chen slammed the table and said angrily, "Just because you have no feelings for mermaids! You described mermaids as breeding machines, which is an insult to them! I have already blacklisted you, you have no right to take any mermaid away from our base!"
Facing Miss Chen's relentless pressure, Yu Zhao was not afraid at all and smiled slightly: "Blacklist? Is this something approved by His Majesty? I only know that my merits were awarded by His Majesty himself. As long as I am still in the empire, no one can stop me from trading freely."
Miss Chen knew this, of course. Now that she was being rebuked, her blood pressure soared. She endured it again and again before gritting her teeth and saying, "Then why do you suddenly want to buy a mermaid? Don't you look down on mermaids? Do you have other purposes, such as torturing mermaids behind their backs?!"
Yu Zhao didn't answer immediately. Instead, he paused for two seconds before saying in a complicated tone, "I don't know why I bought her. Maybe love comes so quickly."
Ms. Chen: “???”
"Also." Yu Zhao added at the right time: "I don't look down on mermaids. Their contribution to the nation is obvious. The reason why I say they are reproductive machines... is because the people I look down on are your mermaid base."
Miss Chen was confused and annoyed: "Why do you look down on our base? We have worked so hard to protect the mermaids and have invested so much energy and financial resources. What right do you have to look down on us?!"
Yu Zhao raised his lips slightly, but his smile was slightly mocking: "It is right to protect them, and it is right to sacrifice, but have you ever thought that mermaids were once human beings? You did not teach them to control their emotions, did not teach them to learn knowledge, but indulged their willfulness without any bottom line, just to keep them together for people to choose and trade with. Before I said that they were reproductive machines, you obviously already regarded them as such, so why are you so angry because I told the truth?"
Miss Chen's expression froze. She opened her mouth to refute, but couldn't think of words for a moment. In the end, she could only angrily say, "What about you? You keep saying you don't agree, but didn't you still buy a mermaid from the base? Let me guess, how many children do you want her to have? Five or ten?"
Yu Zhao looked calm: "This is not something I can decide alone. If Chi Chi wants, I will discuss it with her."
Miss Chen refused to give in and sneered, "What if she doesn't want to have any children? How will you treat this worthless mermaid?"
Yu Zhao looked at her calmly, "Then don't give birth. I fell in love with her at first sight, not her uterus."
Miss Chen stood there in shock, and said in disbelief, "Not giving birth? Then you are wasting the only mermaid resources! Do you know how much the nobles, common people and pirates outside want a mermaid? You have her, but you don't let her give birth to a child?"
Yu Zhao looked at her steadily without saying a word, but his gaze was like a cold sword, piercing through her layers of disguise and revealing her truest and ugliest side.
Miss Chen suddenly came back to her senses, as if she had suddenly realized something. She opened and closed her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
Yu Zhao lowered his eyes and opened the book in his hand. His posture did not change from beginning to end. He said lightly: "It seems that Miss Chen has finally recognized her true face. Congratulations."
Her words sounded very sarcastic. If it had been before, Miss Chen would have been furious.
But after she unconsciously said her true thoughts, she was unable to face Yu Zhao for a moment. She turned away with a pale face and moved her lips: "I, I..."
She wanted to explain that she didn't treat the mermaid as a tool, but she couldn't even say it. After swaying in a trance, she took two steps back. She no longer had the confidence she had before, and turned around awkwardly and said, "I have something else to do. I'm leaving first."
