Mermaid Palace.
“Imperial Mother, where did the Neptune Pearl go? Why didn’t you and Imperial Father look for it?” Aili’er said, full of grievances.
Irina looked at Aili’er, and said helplessly: “It’s not that Imperial Mother won’t find it for you, but that the Neptune Pearl has been missing for many years, and there is no way to find it. Back then, your father spent a lot of effort to find it, and still received no news.”
“Imperial Mother, how was the Neptune Pearl lost?” Aili’er asked grievingly.
“The Neptune Pearl should have been in the Mermaid Treasury. After the death of the previous Mermaid King, the throne was vacant. The Mermaid Treasury has always been closed. However, when the treasury was opened, nothing was missing, except the Neptune Pearl disappeared into thin air.” Irina said.
Aili’er clenched her fists tightly and said, “Without the Neptune Pearl, Hai Ling wouldn’t marry me at all.”
Irina sighed in her heart, and patted Aili’er on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, Aili’er, you are the number one beauty in my Mermaid Clan. If Hai Ling doesn’t like you, who else can he like?”
“Mother, besides the former king, who else can touch the Neptune Pearl?” Aili’er asked.
“There is one more person.” Irina said.
Aili’er looked at Irina and asked, “Who is it?”
“This person is a disgrace to my Mermaid Clan, Princess Xue Feier.”
“Princesses of the Mermaid Clan are usually beautiful and have a good voice, but Princess Xuefeier is different. She sings very badly and her appearance is not outstanding. The elders of the Mermaid Clan don’t like Princess Xue Feier, but I heard that the former Mermaid King loves this little sister very much.”
“Princess Xue Feier, she is not talented, and loves to cause trouble. She doesn’t have a temperament like a princess. She often transforms into her human form and visits the human world. If it was like this, then whatever, but I heard she fell in love with a human and later left the Sea Tribes because of this person.”
“……”
Aili’er widened her eyes and asked, “Mother, do you mean that the Neptune Pearl may have fallen into the hands of Princess Xue Feier?”
Irina said, “That is indeed possible, but even if it falls into Xue Feier’s hands, it won’t be found.”
“Why?”
Irina sighed, “Because Princess Xue Feier is already dead.”
Aili’er: “……”
“The Sea Dragon Clan has a unique secret technique to find the whereabouts of the Neptune Pearl. When the Neptune Pearl just disappeared, the Sea Dragon Clan searched every corner of the Sea Tribes, but found nothing. Therefore, the Neptune Pearl is probably no longer in the sea. ” said Irina.
Aili’er widened her eyes and said, “If it’s not in the sea, is it on land?”
Irina frowned, “Most aquarians are not allowed to leave the deep sea, and those who can leave can’t leave for too long. If the Neptune Pearl is really brought to the territory of the humans, and you want to get it back, it’s extremely difficult.”

The Neptune Pearl emitted a faint light, Bi Liuyun looked at it for a while and felt bored, so he put away the pearl.
Bi Liuyun thought to himself: In the future, I can’t take this thing out casually. If it is close to a Royal Sea Dragon Clan member, they can feel the aura of the Neptune Pearl. Although there is a seal on the Neptune Pearl, it seems it can’t be sealed anymore.
Bi Liuyun tilted his head, and thought to himself: The saddest thing in this world is that you can’t use a treasure that you’re guarding.
In the Tianlong Firm, Hai Ling suddenly opened his eyes.
“Young Master, what’s wrong?” Hai Xiao asked.
“It’s nothing, I seem to feel……” the aura of the Neptune Pearl.
“Young Master, what did you feel?” Hai Xiao asked.
Hai Ling shook his head, “It’s nothing, it should be that I felt wrong.” The aura of Neptune Pearl has disappeared for more than ten years, how could it…… the source of the aura just now seems to be from the City Lord’s Mansion, could it be that……
Hai Xiao looked at Hai Ling and asked, “Young Master, what are you thinking?”
Hai Ling shook his head, “It’s nothing.”
Qi Shaorong walked into Allure Cosmetics and found that the store was almost furnished.
Qi Shaorong placed his hands on his waist, and said, “Liuyun, the arrangement isn’t bad!”
Bi Liuyun smiled, “As long as Young Master’s satisfied.”
“I don’t know how the business will be after the store opens.”
Bi Liuyun smiled and said after thinking about it, “If we want to do business with the Sea Tribes, it’s best to hire some appraisers. The Sea Tribes usually don’t pay with gold coins.”
Qi Shaorong nodded and said, “That’s true.”
Qi Shaorong thought to himself: What he is not short of gold coins, but resources. If the aquarians use the special products of the Sea Clans to buy things, it will be just what he hoped for.
Qi Heng walked up to Qi Shaorong, and whispered, “Young Master, that round young master is here again.”
Qi Shaorong lifted his spirits. He likes big spenders the most, especially big spenders with brain damage. If it is a big spender with a big temper, it can be tolerated.
The last time the round young master came over, he gave a bag of blood pearls. Qi Shaorong had already tried the blood pearls, and the effect was very good. Not only did his physique improve a lot, but even his magic power improved a bit.
After the magic power reaches the seventh level, it is extremely difficult to go up to the next.
After Qi Shaorong entered the seventh level, the increase of magic power has stagnated, and the effect of the blood pearl has made Qi Shaorong see a shortcut to increase magic power. If the treasures used by humans to increase magic power are hard to find, one can aim for the Sea Tribes.
“That young master is a real charitable person!” Qi Shaorong had inquired about the price of blood pearls, and a single blood pearl given by that round young master could be sold for more than tens of thousands of gold coins. Such a big bag is worth about two million. What he exchanged was only a dozen sets of cosmetics, the value was only a few ten thousands of gold coins, and only cost a few thousand gold coins.
Young Master Fertilizer waddled in, “Lord, this is your new Allure Cosmetics Store?”
Qi Shaorong nodded and said, “Yes!”
“I heard that you plan to develop waterproof cosmetics, have you developed it?” Young Master ‘Fertilizer’ asked.
Qi Shaorong nodded, “The product is out, do you want to buy it? It can be cheaper for you, just use the red beads from last time to pay the bill.”
“No more blood pearls!” said the fat, round boy.
Qi Shaorong looked at the fat, round boy with an embarrassed look, and thought: Does the landlord’s house have no surplus food? No wonder this kid’s arrogance seems to be much lower than last time.
Bei Zhuang (贝壮 Bèi zhuàng) scratched his head. When he went back, he handed the cosmetics to Bei Xue. Bei Xue was very happy and even praised him. However, when his father and mother knew that he had replaced his blood pearls with cosmetics, they were furious and directly cut off his own reserve.
Fortunately, he had the foresight to leave a set of cosmetics and gave it to his mother, which calmed his mother’s anger.
Qi Shaorong put his hands on his waist and asked, “There are no more blood pearls, so what are you going to use to pay the bill?”
“White pearls, is that alright?”
Qi Shaorong curled his lips and said, “It’s fine, but white pearls are not as valuable as blood pearls!”
Bei Zhuang said, “I know this, I’ll just pay more.”
Qi Shaorong nodded, “Alright.”
……
Young Master ‘Fertilizer’ pulled out three big bags of pearls, threw them to Qi Shaorong, and left with ten sets of newly released special cosmetics made just for the Sea Tribes.
Qi Shaorong looked at the pearls the size of a baby’s fist in the bag, smiled, and said, “Although this guy has a bad mouth, he is a good person!” If all the Sea Tribes are big spenders like him, then that would be great.
“Young Master, if you want to develop a pearl facial mask, you don’t have to worry about the raw materials with this uncle here,” Bi Liuyun said.
Qi Shaorong nodded and said, “Right!”
……
“Is the lord here?” An unknown figure suddenly appeared in the shop.
The visitor covered their face with a light veil, surrounded by a chilling aura.
Zhuang Hao stood beside Qi Shaorong, lowered his voice, and reminded, “Be careful, they’re a cultivator in the peak of level-nine from the Sea Tribes.”
Qi Shaorong looked at the person and replied, “I am the current lord.”
“My lord, you are really young.” The visitor said, looking at Qi Shaorong.
Qi Shaorong smiled, “It’s alright.”
Hai Lan’s (海兰 Hǎi lán) eyes turned to Bi Liuyun, “You…why do you seem to have the aura of my Sea Dragon Clan on you? Are you part of my Sea Dragon Clan?”
Bi Liuyun was startled,”No, I’m a human.”
“It’s true that you’re not from my Sea Dragon Clan, but you……”
Qi Shaorong smiled, “Liuyun may have gotten close to the people of the Sea Dragon Clan recently and dealt with a lot of things of the Sea Dragon Clan, so his body is contaminated with the aura of the Sea Dragon Clan, but Liu Yun is indeed a human.”
Hai Lan looked at Qi Shaorong and questioned, “Really?”
“Senior, you came here today, you should be looking for me, right? I don’t know, what can I do to help you?” Qi Shaorong asked.
Hai Lan looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “I heard that you’re an expert at plastic surgery!”
Qi Shaorong nodded and asked, “Yes, senior, do you need me to operate on someone of yours?”
Hai Lan took off the veil, revealing the lower half of her face, and asked, “Can you fix the birthmark on my face?”
Qi Shaorong nodded, “I can.”
Qi Shaorong secretly thought: The upper half of this visitor’s face is very beautiful, but he didn’t expect the lower half……
A wry smile appeared in Qi Shaorong’s heart. Unexpectedly, he could not only expand the business of cosmetics to the Sea Tribes, but also expand the business of plastic surgery to the Sea Tribes. So what if the other party is strong, if you want to become beautiful, you still have to find him.
Hai Lan was extremely excited when she heard Qi Shaorong’s words.
Although she is the Goddess of War in the Sea Tribes and has a high status, but many Sea Clans secretly call her an ugly monster, female Rakshasa, her fiancé, her prenatal betrothed, will do anything to break off the engagement with her.
Qi Shaorong looked at Hai Lan and said, “Senior, please come with me. The birthmark on your face is just a small problem, and I can take care of it.”
Hearing Qi Shaorong’s words, Hai Lan’s face softened a bit, “Then I’ll have to trouble the city lord.”
Feel free to point out some mistakes, or make suggestions 
Sigh I know it’s maybe just to highlight Shaorong’s job as a cosmetic surgeon, but it just kinds of irk me when the author writes or describes (by having some bg characs fearing or insult them as one) ppl with a birthmark on their face as monsters or ugly. TvT
