Chapter 86 The Mad Young Master 2
Xu Qiuqiu thought for a moment and asked, "How far is Haili from Fenglin City?"
"It's not far. Once we get ashore, it's another twenty miles to Fenglin City."
Xu Qiuqiu looked at her tail, somewhat troubled. "But it seems I can't go out to sea like this. Is there any way for me to turn into human legs and go ashore?"
"Host, merfolk have to cut off their tails to grow legs, and the process is extremely painful."
After saying that, 003 also felt a little scared. It weakly said, "Host, why don't we stay on land? It's quite safe in the sea. We can just find a male merman to farm happiness points."
No sooner had it finished speaking than a prompt from the main god appeared: it was necessary to increase the happiness value of the second male lead.
Upon hearing this, 003 wondered why this requirement hadn't been made before.
The main god simply issued an instruction, and then could not be contacted no matter what.
"003, why haven't you said anything for so long?"
Hearing Xu Qiuqiu's call, 003 came back to its senses and replied somewhat helplessly, "Host, the main god just said that the mission requires grinding for happiness on the second male lead."
"I guessed it." Xu Qiuqiu put down the beads in her hand.
Xu Qiuqiu didn't think much of the result. It was already strange to have experienced three worlds and encountered people who looked exactly the same as her, and besides, the happiness index wasn't meant to serve her.
It seems that as long as the second male lead is happy, the happiness value will increase. So the first task is to make her learn martial arts in a seemingly legitimate way to cover up the purpose of increasing the happiness value.
Later on, she stopped pretending and just focused on building up her happiness points. So this doesn't feel like a system for a female protagonist who suffers a tragic fate to achieve a comeback. It's definitely a system that brings happiness to the second male lead.
However, she didn't mind, since she liked A-Chen quite a bit now. The only question was how she could see him.
Seeing that Xu Qiuqiu wasn't angry at all, 003 asked curiously, "Host, how did you guess?"
Thinking of 003's blank expression, Xu Qiuqiu didn't explain. "Let's not worry about that. Besides cutting open the fish tail to grow legs, is there any other way?"
"No, but in this world, the male protagonist's family has a unique 'transformation potion' that allows them to grow legs after drinking it, but..."
003 continued worriedly, "I don't think the male lead will give it to the host, and he might even harm the host..."
Well, well, as expected of a tragic story, it forces her to find a way to survive even when she's on the verge of death.
If I can't transform into human legs, I can't go ashore; if I can't see Ah Chen, I can't increase my happiness points.
Now it's either a matter of taking drastic measures to expose your own weakness, or walking right into the trap and asking the male lead what he wants.
She was terrified of the pain, and besides, it would be such a shame to cut such a beautiful tail in half.
It sounds painful, but if you ask the male lead, he might not even give it to you.
Or pretend to go home with him and tell him that mermaid flesh can save people, but only if the mermaid is willing. If the mermaid is unwilling, cutting it off and feeding it to him will be useless. Make him exchange it for water, and then have a little push and pull with him. Then ask 003 for some poison to kill him.
After thinking about it, the male protagonist realized that this method was feasible. After all, the merfolk had almost never appeared in this world, and there were very few records of them, so the male protagonist had no choice but to believe what she said.
If she fails, she can just commit suicide and start over; she's not willing to be tormented by the male lead.
After figuring out a solution, Xu Qiuqiu went back to her seashell bed and went to sleep.
She just woke up in the middle of the night, so now she can catch up on some sleep.
After playing in the sea for a few days, wherever she swam, many little fish would follow, blowing bubbles and obediently calling her princess.
The deep blue sea, with its various kinds of fish, some of which even glow, was incredibly fascinating to her. It was far more beautiful than the natural world, and she could even understand what the sea creatures were saying.
So she wasn't very bored.
After being notified by 003 that the male lead had come to the shore, Xu Qiuqiu reluctantly swam ashore secretly.
As soon as she surfaced, she saw the male protagonist not far from the shore, and she slowly swam over.
As she swam, she would occasionally flick her tail, which shimmered beautifully in the sunlight.
This action quickly caught Yu Gu'an's attention, and he was stunned by the beauty of the mermaid who seemed to exist in a different world.
Looking into his eyes, Xu Qiuqiu felt utterly disgusted by what he had done, but there was nothing she could do but endure the disgust for the sake of the mission.
She looked at him with feigned curiosity, then quickly swam back to the depths of the sea in terror.
Then for several days, Yu Gu'an stayed here hoping to meet Xu Qiuqiu.
His action indeed caught Ye Qinqin's attention. She didn't understand why her fiancé always went to the beach, so she secretly followed him.
Then she saw Yu Gu'an and Xu Qiuqiu meet. Looking at the beautiful Xu Qiuqiu in the sea, Ye Qinqin clenched her fists.
That shameless merman actually went out to seduce her fiancé.
She finally found a man with good conditions. She came from a fisherman's family, while Yu Gu'an was the youngest demon hunter in Fenglin City. He had a good background and his family was rich. How could she tolerate someone taking him away!
On the very day Gu An returned, she became bedridden and remained in a daze every day.
As expected, Yu Gu'an felt sorry for her and didn't go to the beach to take care of her. But how could she let it go like that? She bribed the doctor to tell Yu Gu'an that her illness could only be cured with the flesh of a mermaid.
Upon hearing what the doctor said, Yu Gu'an froze on the spot.
Looking at his expression, Ye Qinqin felt a surge of hatred in her heart, but she softened her demeanor and said, "Gu An, there are no mermaids in this world. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you for much longer..."
"Gu'an, I don't want to leave you, I want to stay by your side forever..."
After she finished speaking, Ye Qinqin's tears fell. Her performance was so sincere and moving that it immediately touched Yu Gu'an.
Yu Gu'an looked at the woman in front of him. She had saved him. She was the woman he loved. How could he abandon her?
Mermaid? He had encountered a mermaid in the past few days. Although she was very beautiful and he was almost bewitched by her, Qin Qin was the person he loved and his future wife.
It's just a matter of getting merman flesh; cutting off a piece shouldn't kill the merman.
After thinking it through, Yu Gu'an grasped Ye Qinqin's hand and said, "Qinqin, I won't abandon you. I'll go and bring the merman back, and then use him as a medicinal ingredient for you."
"Gu'an, you're so kind..." Ye Qinqin looked at Yu Gu'an with teary eyes and forced a bitter smile.
Seeing Ye Qinqin's condition, Yu Gu'an immediately felt sorry for her. After comforting Ye Qinqin, he went to the shore.
As usual, I waited for the beautiful mermaid girl.
As if she knew what he was thinking, Xu Qiuqiu quickly emerged from the water and swam to the shallow area, curiously watching Yu Gu'an slowly approach.
