"Pfft..."
A red vine pierced straight into Yu Wei's left shoulder, while a golden vine pierced through his right waist.
"Not bad, you actually managed to hurt me."
The red vines slowly faded, revealing a breathtakingly beautiful face, and Yu Wei finally saw the other person's full appearance.
Her skin was so white it was almost translucent, with a delicate, small oval face. Beneath her arched eyebrows were a pair of peach blossom eyes that held a frosty, snowy quality. Her red eyes were exceptionally alluring. She had a high, straight nose, thin pink lips, and long, silver hair that reached her waist, swaying in the wind. Below her slender waist was a beautiful blue-purple fishtail.
Bright red blood seeped from the wound, slowly sliding down the waistline of her abs, but the mermaid seemed unconcerned, tilting her head to examine Yu Wei.
“You’re not bad either.” Yu Wei smiled, retracted the vines, took off his coat, and stretched his neck. “Mutant half-orcs who can control vines are rare.”
Biological genetic research in the Etolan Empire's laboratory produced a large number of half-human, half-beast creatures, known as orcs.
Mermaids are fished out of the sea and sent to laboratories for research. Although they are born half-human and half-fish, they are also classified as half-beasts because their appearance is so different from that of ordinary humans.
After the laboratory was conquered, most of the mermaids who had lost their ability to survive in the wild were kept in aquariums.
This is the first time I've ever seen something like this that can breathe freely without water and control its vines.
"Should I thank you for the compliment?" The mermaid raised an eyebrow, sitting on the roof of the car, her wide fish tail gently patting the windshield.
“We have no grudge against each other, so it’s not appropriate for you to start a fight right away, is it?” Yu Wei raised an eyebrow. “Besides, you also damaged my car.”
"Is that so? Unfortunately, I don't intend to pay compensation." The mermaid tossed her hair, rested her chin on her hand, and looked at Yu Wei with a smile. "If I kill you all, I won't have to pay compensation."
"Don't be so violent." Yu Wei spread his hands, blinked, and grinned: "You're so good-looking, shouting and fighting will only affect your appearance."
Zhou Siyu, who had overheard their conversation, couldn't help but wonder just how beautiful the mermaid on the car roof really was.
"So... between me and your partner, who is prettier?"
A hint of smugness flashed in the mermaid's eyes, and her smile widened, but the frost in her eyes only grew stronger.
"Of course..."
Zhou Siyu couldn't help but hold her breath. It was said that the mermaid race, regardless of gender, all possessed stunning beauty, beyond compare.
It's such a pity he can't see such a beautiful face. What a shame!
"Would you let us go if I said you were prettier?"
Yu Wei rubbed his wrist and looked at the mermaid.
"I can consider it."
"Of course... my partner is prettier!"
Yu Wei was beaming with pride. In his heart, his wife was the most beautiful person in the world, and no one else was worthy to carry his shoes.
A hint of annoyance flashed in the mermaid's eyes as she felt she had been tricked. She raised her hand slightly, and the vines as thick as her forearm lashed out at Yu Wei.
Yu Wei manipulated the vines to defend himself, dodging attacks while looking for an opening. "Although you're not as pretty as my wife, I don't mind knowing your name..."
"The weak do not deserve to know my name."
The mermaid launched a frenzied attack, completely forgetting about defense.
"We've been playing for so long, and you still think I'm weak?"
Seeing the opportunity, Yu Wei acted swiftly, the golden vines colliding directly with the red vines, the hard red vines snapping in mid-air.
The mermaid had an injury on her waist, making it difficult for her to move. Yu Wei manipulated the vines to fight the mermaid. He was hit hard by the red vines several times and had many cuts on his body. However, these cuts were just tickles to him. The wounds healed in less than half a minute and there were no traces left.
While the mermaid was still in shock, a golden vine seized the opportunity to wrap around her tail and snaked upwards. By the time the mermaid realized what was happening, her waist was already tightly wrapped and she couldn't move.
"Shameless scoundrel! You actually cheated!"
The mermaid completely lost her mind and manipulated the vines to attack wildly.
The moment the sharp red vine pierced Yu Wei's right shoulder, the golden vine also wrapped around the mermaid's fair and slender neck.
"All warfare is based on deception."
Yu Wei swallowed the metallic taste rising in his throat and tightened the vines. The mermaid did not give up struggling as expected, but instead continued to manipulate the vines to attack Yu Wei.
Yu Wei easily dodged, slowly tightening the vines. The mermaid felt difficulty breathing, and her consciousness gradually blurred.
Real mermaids can breathe with gills, but he can't. He's not a mermaid, but a mutant whose respiratory system is still the same as a human's.
"Put down your weapons! Put your hands behind your head..."
The police officer, who arrived late, spoke in a trembling voice, his hands shaking so much that he could barely hold his gun.
Lin Qing and Ning An, who arrived at the scene, proved to be seasoned veterans. They immediately arrested everyone, including Zhou Siyu and Yu Zhen, and took them back to the police station for questioning.
Since Yu Wei and the mermaid were the main culprits in the fight, and given the special circumstances, both of them were required to cut a section of vine as evidence.
Yu Wei was fine, but the mermaid was very reluctant and only cut off a small tip of the vine after Lin Qing's repeated requests.
"Am I just incompatible with the police station or what? Why do I always get caught again for some trivial matter shortly after leaving the station?" Yu Wei kicked the threshold in dissatisfaction and muttered to himself, "It must be because I didn't step over the fire pit and didn't take a shower after leaving the police station."
"What does this have to do with stepping over a fire pit or taking a bath?" Zhou Siyu stared intently at the merman. "Do you even know his name?"
"Ji Han." Yu Wei glanced at Zhou Siyu, then at Ji Han, and covered Zhou Siyu's eyes with his hand, his tone filled with seven parts grievance and three parts dissatisfaction: "I'm injured, and you don't even care about me."
