Qi Qi didn't rush up this time. He was just about to discuss it with Lan when Lan was already heading up.
Qi Qi quickly grabbed his arms with both hands and pulled him down, whispering, "Let's do it quietly, don't let them find out!"
Lan didn't quite understand what he was afraid of: "It's okay, humans can't escape our control."
"No, no, no, what if someone has hearing problems? Or what if someone is determined and can't be controlled by us at all?"
Lan: "Then let's just use sound frequency resonance to turn them into cripples."
Qi Qi was startled: "That won't work either. What if they all die?"
Lan asked helplessly, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Qi Qi pondered for a moment: "Shall we deal with them one by one secretly? Humans will drown in the water, and we also need to think about how to get them to teach us to speak."
Lan: "It's simple, we just need to get ashore."
Among the younger generation of high-level merfolk, besides Qi Qi, there is only Lan. Both of them do have the ability to go ashore, but going ashore does sound quite interesting.
"Are we just going up like this?"
Qi Qi was a little nervous: "We don't have any clothes."
Merfolk are essentially animals, swimming around in the sea every day. No one cares about what clothes they wear, so they certainly don't have any sense of shame about wearing clothes. As soon as Qi Qi said this, Lan's gaze fell on him.
The most handsome little prince in the tribe, dressed in blue, white, and pink, with perky hair.
Qi Qi didn't feel anything, but he just thought it would be weird to be naked.
Lan suddenly pulled him, and the two of them were pressed close to the edge of the viewing pool.
Many footsteps and voices came from above.
"So this is the ancient castle on Paradise Island. It truly lives up to its reputation; it's indeed magnificent and spectacular. Hey, we should have come last night, those little houses..."
"Your Highness, let's find a place to rest first. If all the others come, it will be tomorrow morning."
"This is it, let's go in and take a look."
"yes."
"..."
Qi Qi listened carefully and found that some of the voices sounded like the six people he had met the night before. It seemed that their ship had indeed arrived last night.
This method of eavesdropping on people's conversations is quite novel.
Humans are on top, fish are on the bottom.
Just as Lan was about to speak, Qi Qi quickly covered his mouth and made a shushing gesture.
Lan moved her lips slightly, looking at him.
After those people had walked away...
The two swam to the bottom of the water.
Lan frowned deeply: "No, it has nothing in common with the dialects of the Dragon Kingdom. I don't know what they're saying. They just spout gibberish."
Qi Qi almost couldn't help but laugh.
Of course, these are foreigners. We are merfolk from the Dragon Kingdom, so of course we can't understand them.
"There are many of them, the same ones from last night. Apart from those who rowed the boat, there are still more than 20 people."
A beastly, bloodthirsty glint flashed in Lan's red eyes: "I'll take control of their minds right now."
Qi Qi: "Those six people are very quick-witted and will not be easily controlled. If we make a mistake, it will be bad if they are prepared."
Lan thought again, "We can't control too many people; Wang will find out when he comes back."
His eyes lit up: "Let's go to the big ship and find a chance to sneak into their group. There are porters in their group who are about my size."
Qi Qi looked him up and down. Lan had deep-set eyes, a tall stature, and an outstanding temperament. He could probably fake it: "You can, but I can't."
Lan: "That's what I was thinking too. You wait for me here. I'll find a boat tonight and sneak in. We'll go ashore and find a place to kidnap humans."
Qi Qi: "Is that okay?"
Without hesitation, Lan replied, "Okay."
Qi Qi: "I meant your legs..."
Lan: "That's fine too. I went ashore with Wang before. You can try to get a feel for it. It's not difficult."
"good."
...
Qi Qi, fearing discovery by the protagonist, hid at the cave entrance to sleep. The fact that the main quest allowed him to survive suggests that the protagonist must have some skill; killing someone at the castle pond would be too easy to be discovered.
Once ashore, he would then try to use sound to lure the easy-to-deal-with sailors into the water.
While waiting for Lan, Qi Qi began to practice speaking in human language.
Mermaids' voices are indeed very special, but it's a bit difficult to change once you get used to a certain vocal pattern.
The throat cavity needs to be opened before speaking.
After practicing for a while, Qi Qi's body got used to it, and he found a place with lots of water plants to sleep. When it got dark, Qi Qi heard a voice calling from above.
"Qi, come up here."
Qi Qi: "Uncle Lan, is that you?"
"Um."
Qi Qi: "Is there no one up there?"
“It’s almost midnight now. The servants have gone into the castle to clean up. I’m here to fetch water.”
A faint light had already appeared on the castle a few dozen meters away.
Qi Qi cautiously peeked up and saw Lan dressed in sailor's coarse cloth trousers and a neat shirt, with a robe and headscarf over them. He walked with a slightly hunched back, and his face was painted with special algae, making him indistinguishable from the group of drab people.
Qi Qi smiled.
There were trees and other objects of concealment nearby, so they should not be visible from the lower part of the building.
Lan said, "Come here, let's hurry, our tails are too bright and we'll be spotted."
Qi Qi grabbed his outstretched, strong arm and was pulled out of the water. Before anyone could notice his tail, he quickly covered it with a large coat.
The coat smelled unpleasant, and Qi Qi wrinkled his nose, sneezing from the stench, when he heard a low chuckle beside him.
