The merfolk ancestors in the sea area where Qi Qi is located were among those who successfully saved themselves. Unfortunately, they were taken across the continent and the ocean by merchants and could not find their way home, so they had no choice but to survive on this unfamiliar continent.
From then on, the mermaids and humans became mortal enemies, killing anyone they saw, and the beautiful and gentle legend turned into a fierce and terrifying one.
The island has a history of over 800 years, and adventurers have continuously crossed the ocean to come here, all in search of the legendary great treasure on the island.
And they eventually became food for the merfolk.
A full hundred years have passed since the last human fleet. Merfolk can live up to 200 years old. The newborn merfolk have never seen humans before, so they are naturally very curious.
Merfolk are not highly educated, but they have their own language and a certain level of culture. In order to better integrate with the mission participants and make the story more coherent, Qi Qi's name is changed to Qi in this context.
Not knowing which "qi" it was, Qi Qi voluntarily added the character "qi".
Qi means happiness, and it's awesome.
Merfolk have difficulty producing offspring. Although this sea area is developing well, there are only about a hundred merfolk in total. Perhaps because this world has a bit of a mythological element, high-level merfolk have normal intelligence and can transform into human legs, while low-level merfolk have average intelligence and cannot transform into human legs.
The man and woman in front of him were his guards. Qi Qi judged from their pronunciation that the male mermaid was called Haiyan and the female mermaid was called Zhenzhu.
It is said that when their parents were having them, one thought of a bird flying freely over the sea, and the other thought of a beautiful pearl.
Haiyan and Pearl angrily said that the ship was not far from them. The shark squad that Wang sent had been bombarded by humans with cannons and was in terrible condition. Most of their flesh had been lost, and they looked like they were about to die.
"Wang said not to act yet, we can wait until they get to the island and then kill them one by one."
The two mermaids had honest faces written all over them.
Qi Qi nodded: "Yes, kill them."
As for why he said that without even thinking? Of course, playing his role well and completing his task are the most important things. Besides, a soul that doesn't yet have a full understanding of life and emotions will do whatever he's asked to do at this time.
The system would occasionally observe the host who was marked as a promising talent by the main god, and check his growth progress for its own reference.
Seagull and Pearl added, "Prince, the King has instructed us to keep a close watch on you and not to spy on humans, lest you be in danger."
Okay.
Qi Qi nodded and said that when he wasn't singing, the young merman's voice was clear and crisp. Now that his body had a different soul, it also had a touch of the softness of its owner's personality, making it sound very sweet.
Haiyan and Zhenzhu were stunned for a moment.
The system's plot assistant issued a warning: [Character has deviated from their intended role. One warning will be issued; after three warnings, 100 points will be deducted for each subsequent violation.]
Qi Qi: 【！！！】
Her jewel-like eyes widened in an instant, and her rosy lips parted slightly, looking quite surprised.
[So there are points deducted for this!]
System: [You are now a vicious villainous cannon fodder. Remember to act according to the personality inherited from your body.]
Qi Qi immediately replied: 【Understood!】
Merfolk don't usually distinguish between superiors and inferiors; they just call each other by name. Haiyan said, "Qi, you seem to be in a very good mood today!"
Pearl: "Hehe."
Qi Qi smirked and glared, adopting the menacing expression of a gangster boss on TV: "Hmph, of course I was just kidding. You won't let me go? I'm going to see for myself!"
After saying that, he leaned forward and fell into the water, swimming towards the direction from which the sound waves came from the sea creatures. Merfolk have very sensitive ears and unique throats, and their sound waves can travel long distances underwater and in the air. Of course, only merfolk can hear them.
Haiyan and Pearl were dumbfounded. They followed behind Qi Qi, trying to persuade him to go back, but they didn't dare to stop him too much. Although the little prince had just come of age and was the weakest among the merfolk, he had a bad temper!
If anyone upsets him, playing pranks on them is a minor matter; look at the string of conch shells hanging around his neck—that's meant to be smashed on people's heads.
Oh, if only he were more obedient. The little prince with his bad temper is beautiful even with a single hair on his head. If he were a little better, the whole ocean would love him.
"Qi! Qi!"
"We can't go! The King will be angry!"
Please!
"Qi! Humans are all cunning and cruel, danger! Danger!"
"Humans will capture the mermaids and make them cry pearls every day!"
"Put it in a small box, and let a bunch of people come to see it every day!"
Qi Qi effortlessly displayed his graceful figure and beautiful tail in the water, a smug smile on his face. As the two merfolk tried to persuade him in a sorry state behind him, he uttered the classic cannon fodder line: "Hmph, mere humans. Do you think they're as smart as me?"
She grinned smugly, revealing a row of small white teeth, with two slightly pointed canines sticking out, her cheeks puffed out.
System comment: [...That smile looks so fake.]
Is this what a fierce person looks like? It looks more like they're deliberately being fierce, a cutesy but actually menacing look.
Qi Qi shut his mouth, only raising one corner of his mouth in a cold smile.
System: [...Looks the same as before, pay attention to the mischievous smile and the acting in the eyes.]
Qi Qi couldn't laugh anymore, and tried to make his eyes look three parts arrogant, three parts contemptuous, and four parts wickedly malicious: [I can't laugh anymore.]
The system data chuckled, almost making a laugh: [Haha.]
...
The sea breeze is salty, carrying the unique scent of the ocean, which can calm the mind and bring peace. As evening approaches, the setting sun sinks below the distant horizon, and the sea sparkles. Even more beautiful than the sunset is a blue figure traversing the sea.
