The Mystic Bar has become incredibly lively ever since one extraordinary mermaid after another arrived.
Leng Xiang seemed to have been kicked in the head by something, stubbornly insisting that Jiu Li marry him, and every time he proposed, Jiu Li would roar almost insanely.
For a time, Jiu Li, who was exhausted from dealing with Leng Xiang, no longer cared about Dong Jun, who wanted to take his brother away from him. As a result, the relationship between Jiu Xiao and Dong Jun slowly progressed.
Jiu Xiao naturally didn't want Leng Xiang to be with his younger brother. However, when Jiu Li went berserk one time, the other mermaids couldn't stop him in time. The poisonous blood in his body boiled and almost corroded him. Only Leng Xiang could stop his berserk state. So Jiu Xiao could only shut his mouth and silently watch Leng Xiang torment Jiu Li day after day.
Among the five fish of the Pingyao, Li Qi, Xi Huayue, and Ye Ling all have their own main jobs, so they don't come to the bar very often. The mermaids who are regulars at the bar are magician Kasai and bartender Lan Qi.
Lan Qi, who relies on bartending to earn a living, is deeply troubled by this situation. Leng Xiang, who instilled a strong childhood trauma in him, appears in front of him every day, saying to his boss Jiu Li in various inappropriate ways, "Let's get married," "Let's register our marriage," "We can also have sex first," only to be chased and beaten by the enraged Jiu Li...
To be honest, this was very damaging to his mental health.
The bartender, who used to be so dashing and handsome that people couldn't help but swoon, now looks haggard, as if he's overindulged in sex. His eyes are lifeless, and a pair of large dark circles adorn his face, giving him a punk look that's reminiscent of death aesthetics.
As for Kasai, he didn't actually approve of Leng Xiang and Jiu Li's marriage. Leng Xiang and their captain Xi Huayue were mermaids from the same era who had experienced the sea monster catastrophe. It was in that battle that Xi Huayue was seriously injured and had to leave the crew.
Leng Xiang is now over 1,500 years old, while Jiu Li is only 210 years old. With such a huge age gap, and Leng Xiang having experienced life and death and the survival of her race, the difference between these two mermaids in their social circles and perspectives is too great.
Although mermaids' loyalty and devotion would make them choose love over bread without hesitation, there must be mutual love between them. Judging from Leng Xiang's appearance, it doesn't seem like love at first sight. If they were to get married, it might not be a good thing for either of them.
Kasai, who has the talent point "speaking ill of others" and looks like a villain, is actually a very kind-hearted child deep down. After realizing this, he said softly when he happened to meet Lengxiang: "How foolish."
A chilling aura instantly pressed down on him, yet Kasai, amidst this coldness, revealed a slightly sinister smile and continued, "So stupid as to propose to a mermaid without any emotional foundation whatsoever."
In the narrow, dimly lit corridor, the silver-white mermaid darted to Kasai's side like lightning, grabbed his neck with one hand, and pressed him against the wall.
With a muffled thud, the sharp pain from the impact on his back as he hit the wall caused Kasai to groan involuntarily.
Her pale, cold lips parted slightly, and a clear, icy voice, like shattered jade striking each other, slowly rang out: "Want to die?"
As one of the best polar mermaids, Leng Xiang's combat power easily overwhelmed Ka Sai, who was just a deep-sea mermaid.
The unbearable pain of not being able to breathe made Kasai raise his head, but his black eyes still tried to look at the silver mermaid, and the ferocious smile on his face became more and more evil.
God knows, Kasai just wanted to smile to show he meant no harm, however... thanks to his face, which didn't look like a good fish even without expression, his smile could definitely scare a child to tears.
In Leng Xiang's eyes, this smile was a provocation.
“If you don’t love your boss… I advise you to give up the idea of marrying him as soon as possible…” Kasai said with difficulty.
Leng Xiang's icy blue eyes, devoid of any intelligence or emotion, stared at him silently for a long time before slowly withdrawing the hand that was gripping his neck.
Kasai, who had been put down, covered his neck and coughed violently.
To his surprise, Leng Xiang's icy voice rang out: "I want to marry him."
One hundred and fifty years ago, during a secret military mission, he was seriously injured and was saved by a little mermaid.
Unmoved by anything, with a heart as cold as ice, he suddenly felt something different when he first saw those heterochromatic eyes. For the first time, he felt that his own heart, made of flesh and blood, was actually warm.
After spending six months together, on the eve of his departure, he made a promise to the little mermaid that he would return there when he came of age and marry her.
Eleven years ago, when the little mermaid came of age, he went to fulfill his promise, but the little mermaid who had saved his life was no longer there.
Mermaids can soothe the damaged spirit of their partners who have gone berserk. If they stay with their partners for a long time, the mermaid's life will be fulfilled. However, if they are separated from their partners, the mermaid will fall into despair and may even lose her life.
Leng Xiang and the little mermaid made a promise to become partners. Even though they did not actually become partners, their separation would not affect their lives, but they could still comfort each other's spirits.
Seeing those eyes again filled Leng Xiang with joy.
Just when he thought the mermaid, the only one who had ever truly moved him, would disappear from his life forever, she reappeared before him in an unexpected way.
—He was holding up a table, intending to smash it over his head.
