Qi Qi stood quietly against the wall for a while, his expression very complicated.
The system thought he might be traumatized, after all, this was the first time the host had been deceived since coming to the human world, and oh, his voice was also hoarse from the poison.
Just as she was about to comfort him, she saw Qi Qi suddenly narrow his eyes and make a gesture that looked like he was baring his teeth.
Qi Qi: [If I finish drinking the water, I'll feel even weaker, unable to speak, and unable to get out of bed. It'll feel like I'm locked up here.]
He bullied me.
System: [Yes, yes.]
This wasn't just simple bullying; it was the kind of bullying where I could die. In that case, I need to find a way to kill him and get revenge.
System: [Hmm... Hmm? How did you come to this conclusion? He doesn't seem to intend to kill you.]
Qi Qi clenched his fist and said seriously, "I don't know. It seems like someone very important taught me this: regardless of whether he wants to kill me or not, he has already bullied me."
system【……】
What did Qi Chu teach his host while it was away?
Qi Qi had already started making plans: [My acting is bad, and if I stay here any longer, he'll definitely find out. If I don't recover my strength soon, I won't even know what bad things he might do outside. Why did Lan poison me...?]
Just as the system was about to speak, Qi Qi's eyes lit up: [Did he intend to keep it all for himself, secretly eating all those humans without telling me and my mother?]
[No, no, wait! If I think like that, I can't learn human writing, and I can't find out why my merman mother is sick... Does he not want her to get better? My merman mother loves me the most, and he's bullying me behind her back?]
System: ...The formulas are all wrong, but the conclusion is correct. The host seems quite smart at times.
Finally, it praised: "[...Hmm, very fitting for the hot-tempered character of the mermaid prince.]"
Immediately, Qi Qi closed the door and walked down a side path in the opposite direction from where they had come the night before.
A vast expanse of vibrant red roses bloomed passionately, their fragrance rich and intense. A boy, so beautiful as to be androgynous, wore a thin nightgown and walked barefoot along the path. Dewdrops dampened his hair and long eyelashes, and his blue eyes intently watched the road, carefully avoiding the sharp thorns of the roses.
[Lan taught me before that this poisonous algae shouldn't be eaten. There's an antidote. I need to go back to the sea to get rid of the poison and gather the merfolk to deal with this wicked creature.]
As he walked, he encouraged himself mentally, carefully analyzing the situation. Although it sounded naive, it was quite clever for a stupid robot.
A rose petal was knocked off the bud as she walked and landed on her blue hair. Qi Qi looked up and gasped for breath. Her face was even paler from the cold blood, but her lips were even redder.
He wasn't walking very fast, and he looked quite disheveled. His hair was too thick and long, sticking to the sides of his face and neck, so he brushed it aside.
[Huff...huff...Dongtong, how long have I been walking?]
System: [Exactly one hour.]
Qi Qi was exhausted. She collapsed onto the roadside grass, completely losing her composure, watching the ants crawling on the ground: "Rest, take a break. My feet are a little sore."
System: [You'll be more careful next time, right?]
【Okay.】
The sun is about to rise. If I don't go outside, will I get sunburned like a dried fish?
Through the tall rose bushes, Qi Qi saw the sky in the distance beginning to brighten.
[So beautiful...]
Just as I was marveling at it, I suddenly touched something icy cold.
Qi Qi looked down and saw that it was a colorful snake that was passing by his buttocks. Its tail was touched, and it immediately turned its head.
The system exclaimed in alarm: [Poisonous! Run!]
Qi Qi immediately remembered.
[The more beautiful a creature is in nature, the more poisonous it is; be careful when you see it.]
He immediately stood up and ran forward as fast as he could.
The rose bushes stretched out very long, and as Qi Qi ran, his skirt was stained red and green. He was slapped several times in the face, and he covered his head with his hands, leaving several small cuts on his bare arms.
The human body is so weak.
"Pia!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Qi tripped over a hole in the ground and fell face down.
Three seconds later, he casually got up, wiped the pearls that had fallen from his face because of the soreness in his nose and face, leaving half of his face covered in dust and his skirt dusty.
Keep walking forward.
Both pitiful and hilarious, the system said: [The Grey Prince of the Sea.]
Qi Qi realized he was being mocked: [Hmph.]
I don't want to deal with it anymore.
...
He walked and stopped, walked and stopped, until the sun was high in the sky. Qi Qi felt like his throat was on fire, his legs were so weak that they were about to turn into dried fish, and he finally emerged from the rose bush!
Fortunately, feeling the sea breeze, he walked towards the sea!
Turning back, Qi Qi looked at the flowerbed and snorted: "Damn it, so many flowers!"
The merman prince, who was in a volatile state, would even curse at passing ants.
Of course, when swearing, they only use harmless words like "despicable villain" or "idiot."
[Hahahaha, I've made it out!]
【Tongtong, go take care of your business! I'm fine now!】
The system has gone to process a transaction.
After humming, Qi Qi felt the sea breeze coming from a thousand meters away, and looked at the vast sea. His eyes brightened, and just as he was about to run towards the sea, Qi Qi suddenly felt something in the corner of his eye.
He turned his head and saw a large group of people squatting on the ground 30 meters away, their eyes vacant and their minds dazed, and Lan standing arrogantly and coldly in front of them.
The two fish locked eyes.
Qi Qi's smile hadn't faded yet.
Lan's dangerous red eyes narrowed.
Qi Qi smiled and quickly ran back the way he came. After running four or five meters, Lan grabbed him from behind and pulled him into the rose bushes.
His body was lying face down, his face being caught by a hand before it touched the grass. Lan's large body was behind him, pressing down on Qi Qi's soft and thin body. He also took a couple of deep breaths, and when he spoke, his voice was hoarse: "Your Highness, how did you get out?"
"There are many humans outside, it's too dangerous."
He grasped Qi Qi's rounded shoulders and turned him over. He saw that Qi Qi's face was covered in ash, his hair was messy and had flower branches and leaves stuck to it, making his snow-white face look even smaller, as if a palm could cover it.
Qi Qi opened his mouth and cursed him silently, struggling frantically. Unfortunately, he was almost exhausted and was quickly pinned to the ground by someone's arm. His bright eyes glared angrily at Lan.
Lan was amused by that look, and considering his tendency to run away whenever he saw her, she lifted his chin with her finger, smiled, and said as if it were an accident, "Oops, I've been found out."
Qi Qi continued to glare angrily.
He brushed away the dust with his fingers, his eyes growing increasingly dark. He lowered his head and whispered in the delicate ear of the humanoid figure, "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. Be good, don't run away. It won't be long before it's over."
Qi Qi tilted his head and bit his ear hard.
