"I want to become a human."
Little Tuantuan raised an eyebrow, looked at the mermaid, and sized her up and down.
Finally, he said, "Don't you merfolk have your own methods?"
Mu Yikui said, "How many true feelings exist in this world?"
"Presumably, the Elf Princess knows about us mermaids; we are like merfolk."
They have mermaid pearls, and we have diamonds too!
"Our blood can melt into diamonds!"
At this point, Mu Yikui suddenly became dejected, as if she had thought of something.
She slumped down, her body hunched low, her hands stroking her lower body.
It was covered in fish scales, large patches of them; they were part of their bodies!
"I have a clansman who, in order to transform into a human, believed that the person she loved..."
I will treat her very, very well. I will first use my deep affection to truly transform her into a human being.
But after the man discovered the miraculous effects of her blood, he placed her under house arrest.
They bled her every day until she bled to death.
"My kind wasn't just females; male mermaids were also killed by that cruel woman."
Unfortunately, we still yearn to become human, following the instructions left by our ancestors, and still insist on exchanging deep affection for a human body.
"But true love is hard to find in this world! Especially when it involves two people who truly love each other."
When Mu Yikui finished speaking, Xiao Tuantuan sighed.
In this world, where can one find true affection?
She sighed!
"Fine, fine, I'll grant your wish. My blood can turn you back into a human, but I only promise it to you."
The mermaid was shocked; she hadn't expected Little Tuantuan to offer her blood so willingly.
She originally intended to use this to blackmail her into giving her blood, but she hasn't even brought it up yet!
"Elf Princess, is that really true?"
"Absolutely no questions asked, provided you wipe out the mermaid race."
In fact, it could be said that driving this group out of our territory would be acceptable.
The half-mermaid, Mu Yikui, nodded quickly, stood up straight instantly, and looked at Xiao Tuantuan, saying, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
Little Tuantuan was quite satisfied, and then asked, "Can you only meet him in your dreams? Where are you?"
"I am deep in the ocean, this is our territory as mermaids, and those mermaids cannot enter."
If you want to see me, take this fish scale to the seashore and shout "Ichikawa" three times towards it.
"I will appear and come to find you." Mu Yikui painfully removed a fish scale from her tail.
Little Tuantuan frowned as she watched. Didn't it hurt to be pulled like that?
He's definitely a formidable character!
She reached out and took the fish scale, which still had a little bit of blood on it, and nodded.
She then disappeared from Li Jingyu's dream, and Xiao Tuantuan woke up shortly afterward.
He examined the fish scales in his hand from all angles before casually putting them into his spatial storage.
However, in his dream, Li Jingyu saw Mu Yikui, who was half-human and half-fish, once again.
"A-Kui, what brings you here?"
Mu Yikui slid to Li Jingyu's side, looking at his still somewhat pale face, and asked with some concern, "Is your injury still not healed?"
"It's not healed yet! This wound is deep, so it probably won't heal quickly."
But it doesn't matter, I can still see you, right?
However, I'd like to see what Aoi is like in real life.
Li Jingyu couldn't help but laugh as he spoke. What was he talking about?
The innocent and naive heart of a young person is always passionate and impulsive.
Mu Yikui smiled as she looked at the man in front of her, and suddenly said softly, "Can I call you Brother Jingyu?"
Li Jingyu was taken aback at first, then raised his hand to touch the back of his head, a smile spreading across his face.
A blush crept onto his cheeks as he nodded and gave a soft "hmm."
"Brother Jingyu, do you want to see me?"
Li Jingyu nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yes, I really want to. I remember you once saved me."
I should at least thank you in person, shouldn't I?
Mu Yikui was somewhat shocked. Wasn't he unconscious at the time?
Why do I remember her?
However, it would be a lie to say that I wasn't moved. Who wouldn't care about the person they once saved and still remember their savior?
She asked, still somewhat surprised, "Weren't you...?"
"Even though my eyes were closed, I was fully conscious. I knew where I was."
"So when you brought me back to shore, I forced my eyes open and saw you for a moment," Li Jingyu explained.
He was initially confused, and it was only during his recovery over the past few days that he remembered.
So when he saw her in his dream, he felt a strange sense of familiarity, but upon closer inspection, it didn't feel right!
He had been struggling with this for a long time, but now that the truth has come out, what is there left to hide?
"So from the beginning, did you know who I was? Why did I appear in your dream?"
Mu Yikui was a little excited. She opened her eyes wide and slid towards Li Jingyu again.
Li Jingyu said somewhat apologetically, "I'm very sorry, at the beginning..."
I truly did not recognize her, nor did I confuse the two matters.
Finally, it was my aunt who told me they had encountered some kind of mermaid, which made me think a lot.
Then I thought back to when I was injured.
Actually, Li Jingyu had another very serious problem, which she wanted to ask, but didn't know how to ask.
"A-Kui, I have a question, and I wonder if you could answer it for me?"
He was someone who didn't like being surrounded by questions, so after hesitating for a moment, he still asked the question.
“Okay, Brother Jingyu, just tell me. As long as Yikui knows the answer, she will tell you everything without reservation.”
Li Jingyu then said, "I just want to ask, how do you survive in the sea?"
Shouldn't humans be unable to survive in the sea?
“We humans will die if we go down into the sea, how can you live freely in the ocean?”
This question might put Mu Yikui in an awkward position. How should she explain it?
She doesn't understand either!
She's been in the ocean since she was born, and she's explored it, but no one has ever given her an answer!
She scratched her head and cheeks, as if trying to come up with a comprehensive answer, but she couldn't!
She racked her brains, but she just couldn't figure it out!
Seeing her furrowed brows, Li Jingyu couldn't help but feel a little worried. He asked himself a question in his heart.
Was my question too difficult to answer, or did I touch on someone's secret?
He quickly added, "Ah Kui, you don't actually need to answer that."
I was just asking out of curiosity, I didn't mean anything by it. If you don't want to answer, that's fine too.
Mu Yikui pouted and said directly, "Actually, I don't know how to answer your question."
I was born at the bottom of the sea, so I don't know about this, and my people have never told me about it!
Li Jingyu knew he shouldn't have asked that question. He smiled, and the two chatted about other things before the merman left, at which point he woke up...
