Chapter 73 Awakening Mermaid
"...Honey, could you please put me in the water?" Johnston Taylor shook his huge mermaid tail and scratched his head, looking very helpless. "This is really not very elegant."
"I think this is a good idea." Chu Yi squatted in front of him with an amused look, an unreserved smile in his eyes.
Seeing that she refused to help, Johnston had no choice but to compromise, "Well, making a beautiful woman happy is my success."
"Heh~ Smooth talk." The witch raised her eyebrows and said lightly.
"Okay, since you've accepted my gift, you should pay the price, right?"
She acted as if she was trying to force a sale, which made Johnston smile bitterly, but he didn't have the courage to refuse.
He sighed and said resignedly, "Well, as long as you don't want to kill me, everything is fine."
"You just said that it would be a good thing even if I ate you, but now you don't want to think about it anymore. Are you really deceiving me?" The witch's tone became dangerous, as if Johnston would really be eaten by her if he answered a word wrong.
Faced with such a critical moment, Johnston Taylor was not panicked at all. He calmly raised his upper body, supported himself with one hand, and coquettishly brushed the gauze-like tail fin on his tail with the other hand. He smiled seductively at Chu Yi: "After all, I have just ushered in a new life. I still hope to enjoy it more."
"So, Miss Witch, what is your wish? Just tell us, and your dear Johnston Taylor will do his best to fulfill it for you."
Being flattered by him so hard, the witch's mood instantly turned from gloomy to sunny. "As the price for helping you find yourself, I want a jar of mermaid tears, the real kind, and no bargaining."
Hearing this condition, Johnston Taylor covered his heart and said to her in a sad tone: "Oh baby, you really want to kill me."
Of course there is a reason why Johnston reacted so strongly. There is nothing special about mermaid's tears. With his superb acting skills, he can make her cry in minutes. But mermaid's tears with qualifiers are no longer the same thing. That is a real treasure that contains huge amounts of magical power, and just one drop of it could drain a mermaid dry.
I need another bottle, but I don't know when I can get it, Johnston thought hard.
Although he said that he didn't want to, he had actually accepted his fate deep down in his heart. This was the condition proposed by the witch. And even though he has now awakened his powerful mermaid bloodline and has been promoted to the level of a high-level magician, he is no match for the smiling witch in front of him.
So if you want to escape this person’s order, you’d better wait until next life.
Knowing that he had accepted this condition, Chu Yi planned to move to another position. She still needed to take the time to visit other countries and did not have the time to waste here.
She stood up, looked down at Johnston Taylor who was still lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and said something like a small talk: "Do you know what I like most? I like the grand, gorgeous, world-renowned dramas the most."
After saying this, she was instantly digested in front of Johnston's eyes just as she came. If it weren't for the fish tail under him reminding him all the time, he would probably have regarded this witch as an illusion.
"......"
The witch's purpose is as unpredictable as her whereabouts. But the only thing that was certain was that he could not compromise on any word she said and had to exceed expectations, otherwise the outcome would definitely be something he did not want to see.
The mermaid's tears are easy to solve, as long as he accumulates them slowly, but what does this "grand and gorgeous drama" represent? What exactly does the witch want to see?
On the quiet private beach, only the night breeze blows slowly. No one can give John the answer to this question, so he needs to find it himself.
If we can’t find it, maybe there will be one less mermaid in the world?
...
This is of course a joke.
Chu Yi is not a devil, how could he possibly attack the innocent Mr. Mermaid. In fact, during her conversation with Johnston Taylor, she was so overwhelmed by his charm that she completely forgot about the idea of making a big news before she approached him. After all, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Even if she had a golden finger, she would definitely suffer in the face of the powerful and ruthless state machine.
Johnston is different from Evelyn. He doesn't have the support of the sea god behind him, so he can't be as tough as Evelyn who has the support of the Elf Queen.
So Chu Yi, who had been blowing in the sea breeze for a long time, finally gave up the idea of making trouble, and the item of the trade turned into the mermaid's tears. This thing is just a little troublesome, you can get it by spending a little more time and saving up.
As for the last sentence, it was just that she felt a little unwilling to complete two business deals and end up in obscurity. Then I said that, wanting to see how Johnston would respond if the choice was given to him.
"Do you want to continue tonight, Lingling?" Orange stuck to Chu Yi's shoulder obediently, accompanying her to appreciate the night view of Hollywood below.
Yes, they are back in Hollywood.
Since my next destination had not been determined and I didn't know where to go, I simply went back to Hollywood to observe celebrities.
Chu Yi was once a star-chasing girl. Although that was a thing of her previous life and she had long since given up this hobby in this life and didn't know much about world-famous movie stars, it didn't stop her from appreciating the stunning beauty of each of them.
After enjoying the sight, Chu Yi said contentedly: "No, let's go back and rest later, and come to Country M to have a good look tomorrow."
After saying this, she took one last look at this brightly lit paradise on earth and went home with the oranges.
She didn't go back to the hotel where she planted flowers, but just rested in the cabin. Due to the time difference between the two countries, if we rush back now, it will be dawn over there and there will be no time to rest. It would be better to change the background to a night view and rest in the cabin. However, thinking that he still had to visit many countries, Chu Yi did not rest for too long. He slept for two or three hours. When it was dawn in Country M, he set off again with Orange.
Having already had a good tour of Hollywood yesterday, she planned to go directly to other places today.
Just like yesterday, Chu Yi randomly set a spatial coordinate and jumped over. The moment I stepped out of the space, I found that the landing place was actually on the sea. There was boundless ocean all around. There was no one in sight, not even a few animals.
Standing in mid-air over the sea, Chu Yi felt a little confused for a rare moment. She didn’t know if she had worked too hard yesterday, but today she had no motivation and felt lazy. Even if she went to the wrong place, she didn’t want to start over and just wanted to stay there and stare blankly.
Orange sensed that something was wrong with her and turned to look at her with some concern, "Lingling, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I just don't want to move. I can't muster the motivation."
When Chu Yi said this, she was staring at the calm sea in a daze, her voice was weak. After she finished speaking, she simply changed into Bai Zhi's vest, summoned a soft white cloud, sat on it, hugged her equally soft tail and started to daze.
"Hmm..." Looking at Chu Yi like this, Orange was completely at a loss. It had never faced such a situation before and didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
After dancing around her for a few times, Orange thought of many ways and even looked up some information online. Finally, with the mentality of giving it a try, he suggested to her, "Lingdang, do you want to go to Atlantis and take a look?"
It checked the spatial coordinates here and found that it is very close to the legendary lost city of Atlantis. Although it is only a legend, now that it is certain that gods once existed, perhaps it is more than just a legend.
It doesn’t matter even if nothing is gained in the end. It’s just a way for Chu Yi to kill time. It’s not bad to take a walk around the seabed.
Orange's words aroused Chu Yi's interest. She put down her tail, hooked over the ball of fur, and signaled it to unfold the information it had found. Orange did as he was told and displayed the more reliable information he had selected in front of her.
Chu Yi read the information at a glance and became completely interested. This seemed like a good idea.
She did it right away. Without putting down the orange, she started to tell fortunes based on Baizhi's vest. Anyway, with Baizhi Tianxin Fox's identity, she is proficient in divination, so she doesn't need to switch identities.
Bai Zhi's realm was lower, so it took more time than when she used the witch's divination, but it still gave her a perfect answer.
She opened her eyes excitedly and threw the orange into the air, "Orange, Atlantis really exists!"
As the orange fell down due to gravity, it responded: "Really? That's great, let's go over and take a look~"
"Let's go, let's go~" Chu Yi rolled his tail and caught the orange, then changed the coordinates and drilled into the space, and the two of them came from mid-air to the deep sea.
This was the precise positioning obtained through divination, which allowed Chu Yi to skip all unnecessary intermediate steps and reach the destination in one step.
However, out of respect for the god who ruled this city, Chu Yi did not directly set foot on the territory of Atlantis, but stayed on the edge of the city.
The city before us has been shining since ancient times and has given birth to countless legends. These beautiful and mysterious legends add more brilliance to this city of gods. Even though it has been defeated today, it is becoming more and more sacred as it is circulated among countless people.
Chu Yi closed his eyes silently and sensed it, confirming that the gods here had long passed away, and the once powerful offensive and defensive fortifications had also lost their power and turned into a pile of decorative ornaments. The buildings inside have long been dilapidated by the erosion of sea water, and many things have disappeared in the torrent of time.
Atlantis is a good example of how nothing lasts forever, even a city inhabited by gods. Will it still be drowned by time and disappear into thin air?
After standing at the edge of the city and paying silent tribute for a while, Chu Yi brought Orange into the territory of Atlantis. She slowly followed the main road of the city, quietly admiring the unique marine civilization. This place is truly the City of Gods. Even though many things have long since lost their shape, just from a few outlines one can tell how clever and skillful the sea dwellers were back then.
Everything in the city, from floor tiles to decorative statues, is exquisitely designed, as if they were made by the goddess of beauty. Moreover, the city’s layout planning is more sophisticated than some of the current first-tier cities, allowing residents living here to enjoy the most comfortable life.
The more she looked, the more amazed she was, and the more she admired it. If Atlantis could be preserved well, it would definitely be the most desirable place on the blue planet.
A city on earth is so great, I wonder what the real city in heaven would be like? Chu Yi couldn't help but let his imagination run wild. He really wanted to go to heaven, Yaochi, and Takama-ga-hara to feel how beautiful the world was where gods gathered.
