Chapter 747: The Mermaid (10)
Soon, the aunt brought over clothes and pants, and Wen Wan quickly put them on. For the first time, she left the water and stood on the ground. Her round toes twitched, and Wen Wan was about to walk when her legs got tangled before she could even take a step. If the aunt hadn't been there to support her, she would have fallen again.
"Miss, please don't worry. You've just grown legs and need time to adapt. You can't stay out of the water for too long because it's unstable. You might transform into a fish tail at any time. Only when you've completely mastered the changes in your fish tail and legs can you leave with peace of mind."
Wen Wan: "I understand."
Wen Wan was helped out of the room by her aunt. Gu Chuan looked at her and asked, "Are you feeling alright?"
Wen Wan nodded. "I'm all better now, I don't feel bad anymore."
She walked step by step, like a baby taking its first steps, and sat down on the sofa. The nanny immediately brought over some food, saying, "Miss, you've suffered for so long, have something to eat to replenish your energy."
Wen Wan: "Thank you."
Looking at Gu Chuan, she asked, "General, have you eaten?"
Gu Chuan: "I'm not hungry. Now that you're better, I'll be going. I have a lot of official business to attend to in the army."
"Yes, goodbye, General."
Gu Chuan left.
Gu Chuan's mood was extremely complicated all day, and he didn't even go home for the next two days. It was only after Wei Lin called and asked him to take Wen Wan for a check-up that Gu Chuan went home, sorted out his thoughts, and then took Wen Wan to Wei Lin's hospital.
After a thorough examination, Wei Lin finally confirmed the diagnosis.
"It's surprising that the reason your inhibitor failed has been found, but this is both a bad thing and a good thing."
Gu Chuan: "Stop being mysterious and just tell me."
Wei Lin: "The conclusion is that Miss Wen Wan's mermaid bloodline purity is the highest I have ever seen among all mermaids. She has an instinctive oppression of other mermaids, just like a mermaid king."
"However, there are also drawbacks. It will not inhibit any of the inhibitors that have been produced, and ordinary humans cannot help you get through the maturation period."
Wen Wan: "What should I do? Won't I die from the pain? Isn't there any other way?"
Wei Lin: "Yes, you can find a male merman whose bloodline purity is not much different from yours. He can help you through the maturation period, and because you are of the same race, the rejection will be greatly reduced. There is another way, which is to find a human partner with at least 3S level mental strength. He can also help you through the maturation period. As for the difficulty, it is related to the compatibility of your mental strength. The higher the compatibility, the easier it is."
When Wei Lin talked about compatibility, he glanced at his own brother.
His meaning was clear: the two only had a 25% compatibility, which was not the optimal solution.
Afterwards, some medications were administered, and Wen Wan was given detailed instructions on the care and precautions for mermaids after they reach maturity, especially the need for hydration. Mermaids are mermaids after all; even if they can temporarily remain on land by transforming into legs, they still need to be hydrated regularly, otherwise they will dry out and die.
Wen Wan returned home.
Wen Wan fell silent for a moment, because she realized that she not only had to follow the male lead to complete the mission, but also had to avoid the pain of her maturation period.
"Where am I supposed to find a compatible human or mermaid? If men were so easy to find, would I have been single for so long?"
Wen Wan was so worried she was about to die.
"How about I go on a blind date? My conditions aren't bad, surely I can find a partner."
After Wen Wan finished speaking, the system remained silent, then quickly refused, [Host, no. How can matters of the heart be handled so hastily?]
"No rushing! This is the most efficient way. Just post your criteria for choosing a partner, filter out suitable candidates, and give it a try. Maybe I can actually find true love. Even if I don't, I can find someone I don't dislike and just be friends with benefits, unless you can take care of my maturing period."
system:【……】
[Host, calm down. If you go on a blind date, what reason will you have to stay at the general's house? What will happen to our mission?]
Wen Yan: "..."
yes.
If she really finds a man, how will she carry out missions by Gu Chuan's side?
"Then what do you suggest we do? What if I die before the mission is even completed?"
System: [There's always a way out, and besides, there's plenty of time before the next ripening period; we have enough time to figure out a solution.]
Wen Wan: "Alright, that's the only way."
After Wen Wan returned home, Gu Chuan was urgently called away. Lan Ya came over, looking worried, "Are you alright? Why haven't you been livestreaming for the past few days?"
Then, looking at Wen Wan's porcelain-white legs, Lan Ya exclaimed, "You've grown legs? Have you passed puberty? You and Brother Gu Chuan—"
Although Lan Ya had decided to stop liking Gu Chuan, the news still shocked her.
Wen Wan: "Gu Chuan and I are innocent, don't worry."
Lan Ya: "What do I have to worry about? Anyway, he likes you, so he can do whatever he wants. I don't like him anymore."
"Now that you have legs, let's go shopping together. You've probably never been to a mall before."
Wen Wan: She's been there; Gu Chuan took her there.
But she did want to go shopping, after all, she wanted to wear pretty dresses, but she was worried about her legs. What if she accidentally turned into a mermaid halfway through the trip? That would be embarrassing.
The system then spoke up, "Host, don't worry. If you really transform into a merman, I will warn you in advance. Just go home as soon as possible."
Wen Wan: "I'll go."
So she and Lan Ya went shopping together. Communicating these things between women is the best way to enhance their relationship.
Lan Ya seemed to be dressing Wen Wan up like a doll. Wen Wan felt a strange familiarity with this look in her eyes, as if she were looking at her daughter with the kind of loving gaze of an old mother.
Wen Wan was shivering with cold air.
Lan Ya: "When I was little, I dreamed that my doll could come to life. I never thought I would actually have that feeling now."
Wen Yan: "..."
I was right.
"Your legs are so straight and white, like a piece of warm jade. They're perfect for wearing cute little dresses."
Wen Wan: "I prefer the mature, sophisticated style."
"No, I'm a princess, you have to listen to me. You're only suited to a cute and energetic style. At your height of 1.6 meters, you're not going to force yourself to be a mature and sophisticated woman."
Wen Yan: "..."
If you're going to say something, why suddenly attack your own height?
Wen Wan eventually gave in, since she also liked the cute little dress. The two played around and ended up going to Lan Ya's place because it was so late, forgetting to tell Gu Chuan.
I went home the next day.
Gu Chuan's expression turned extremely serious. "You're back? You had a great time outside, didn't you?"
Wen Yan: "..."
"Since Princess Lanya likes you so much, you should stay with her. I'm sure you'd be willing."
Wen Wan quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was wrong. How could I possibly live in the palace? Besides, I really like it here. Please don't send me away. Next time I go out, I will definitely send you a message and get your permission before I go out."
