"Xixi! We finally have human legs! We can become human too!"
The mermaid was very excited. She grabbed Ying Xixi's arm tightly, which hurt Ying Xixi.
Ying Xixi frowned and raised her hand to pull the mermaid's hand away.
The mermaid was in high spirits and didn't care about this.
She struggled to turn over on the ground, rummaged through the cracks in the rocks for a while, and threw out a few pieces of clothes that looked... well, a little dirty.
"Here, these are human clothes, let's put them on!"
The mermaid said as she picked up a white short-sleeved shirt and put it on.
Ying Xixi looked at the dirty clothes with a complicated expression.
Could it be that this mermaid picked up the unwanted clothes thrown here by people who came to the beach to play?
Or sneak ashore and steal clothes left by people on the shore?
"Xixi? What are you staring at? Hurry up!"
The mermaid was already dressed, a white short-sleeved shirt and a denim skirt, revealing her long, white legs.
She couldn't help but touch her legs, with an almost insane love in her brown eyes.
Ying Xixi didn't say anything and put on her smelly loose short-sleeved shirt and denim shorts.
She tried to stand up from the ground, but as soon as she exerted force on her legs, the piercing pain made her face turn pale instantly.
She felt so much pain before her feet even touched the ground.
If she really stood up and walked, every step would be like walking on a knife edge, and she would faint from the pain, right?
The mermaid looked at Ying Xixi's pale face, and fear appeared on her beautiful face.
"Xixi, does your leg hurt?"
"It hurts, it hurts a lot, try it yourself."
Ying Xixi sat still, waiting for the pain to subside.
Mermaids are also afraid of pain, but compared to pain, their yearning for the human world is enough to give them the courage to face pain.
She took a deep breath and imitated Ying Xixi's movements of supporting herself with her hands and using her feet to stand up.
As soon as she exerted force with her legs, the piercing pain made her face turn pale.
But she didn't sit back on the ground. Instead, she gritted her teeth and stood up in one breath.
After standing up, the pain from supporting her body with her legs and feet almost made her faint.
"Why...it hurts so much? Miko, Miko didn't say anything."
The mermaid whispered, almost dazed from the pain.
Ying Xixi sighed. She hadn't yet absorbed the original plot, but she already wanted to go back into the sea.
At least back in the sea, her fish tail wouldn't cause her excruciating pain.
She thought for a moment, looked at the mermaid who stood there afraid to move, and said, "Can you bear this pain? I want to go back to the sea."
"no!"
The mermaid became excited all of a sudden. She squatted down, grabbed Ying Xixi's arm, and stared into her eyes.
"Have you forgotten? One of the rules the witch mentioned is that if two mermaids come ashore and gain legs, and one of them returns to the sea, the other will return to its original form and won't have legs anymore!
You promised me that you would have legs with me and reach the shore together!
You can’t regret it now! What will I do if you go back?!”
Ying Xixi frowned slightly.
Is there such a rule in the witch's rules?
Combined with the subtitle of this world, it seems that the original owner did not choose to return to the sea now in the original plot.
"Okay, I won't go back, so what should we do next?
Every step I took felt like I was walking on a knife edge. It was so painful.
How are we going to find a place to stay on foot?"
Ying Xixi pulled away the mermaid's hand that was holding her arm and asked her.
The mermaid thought for a moment and looked around.
"Wait here, I'll go check out the situation.
Anyway, don't carry me back to the sea. We are sisters, and I think you will definitely not harm me, right?"
The mermaid stared at Ying Xixi, waiting for her answer.
Ying Xixi nodded, "Then you have to come back soon, don't leave me here and run away."
The mermaid chuckled. "Don't worry, I won't."
She stood up, pain spreading throughout her body.
She gritted her teeth and walked towards the beach step by step.
Ying Xixi could see clearly that the mermaid's legs were shaking in pain. She clenched her fists so tightly that blood even flowed from between her fingers.
Ying Xixi frowned and looked away.
While the mermaid is away, she has to quickly take over the original plot.
"System, transmit the original plot."
【OK.】
The background of this world is an imaginary modern era.
The original owner was a mermaid in the deep sea. She had heard that there was a kind of human on the shore who looked similar to them, with similar upper bodies, but different lower bodies.
Their lower body is a fish tail, but the lower body of humans is legs.
Humans live on land, but mermaids can only live in the sea.
She was not curious about humans, let alone trying to find a way to have human legs and get to the shore.
But among their mermaid tribe, there are some mermaids who yearn for the human world.
The mermaids got a potion from the witch that could make them grow legs, and then left.
He never came back after leaving.
The original owner didn't know whether the mermaids who went to the human world had ever returned before she was born.
But at least all the mermaids she knew after she was born never came back.
The original owner could have spent his entire life safely in the deep sea.
But one day, her biological sister Ying Yuanyuan found her.
There are only a few mermaids in the mermaid tribe, and the original owner only has one brother or sister who shares the same father and mother.
When the elder sister comes to the original owner, the original owner will try her best to agree to anything.
So when Ying Yuanyuan asked the original owner to accompany her to find the witch and take the potion together to turn the fish tail into legs and go to the shore, the original owner agreed.
The witch has a rule that in order to get the potion and come ashore, two mermaids must travel together.
Ying Yuanyuan looked for other mermaids, but no one was willing to agree to her, so she had no choice but to look for the original owner.
The original owner and Ying Yuanyuan took the potion and went ashore, successfully regaining their legs.
Ying Yuanyuan asked the original owner to wait for her there while she went to find out the situation.
As a result, he never came back to look for the original owner.
The original owner knew that if he rashly returned to the sea, the potion would immediately become ineffective, his sister would reveal her true form on the spot, and might be harmed by humans.
And what if her sister is just delayed for a while and will come to see her?
So the original owner waited on the shore, waiting and waiting, all night long.
The next morning, she was hungry before her sister came back.
She didn't dare touch the sea water or catch fish to fill her stomach.
She saw a beautiful house not far from the shore.
She knew that the house was inhabited by humans.
She thought maybe she could go to the door of the house and exchange the little pearl for some food from the owner of the house.
The original owner just went to the male protagonist Lin Huaye’s seaside villa.
