When Qi Shaorong returned to the City Lord’s Mansion, he went to look at the account books.
After spending so much money, Qi Shaorong can’t help but feel a little crisis, even though his family has a big business and is making a lot of money every day.
Qi Heng came in with refreshments, ” Young Master.”
Qi Shaorong looked at Qi Heng and said, “Ah-Heng, what’s wrong?”
Qi Heng looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “It’s nothing, but Young Master Zhuang Hao seems to be in a good mood. He also said that Young Master likes him the most.”
Qi Shaorong: “……” Zhuang Hao really doesn’t know how to keep a low profile.
“Young Master, I heard from Young Master Zhuang Hao that you have spent a lot of money to support him.” Qi Heng said.
Qi Shaorong: “……” Zhuang Hao is an idiot.
Qi Heng looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “Young Master, did you spend a lot today?”
Qi Shaorong tilted his head and said, “Thirty million!”
“Gold?”
Qi Shaorong nodded and said, “Yes.”
“No wonder young master, you read the account books as soon as you come back.” Qi Heng smiled, and said again: “It seems that what Master Zhuang Hao said is correct!”
Qi Shaorong frowned, looked at Qi Heng, and said, “Don’t think too much, I bought it because…… that salesman looks down on others and thinks I’m a poor ghost, so I was impulsive due to anger.”
Qi Heng: “……”
Inside the laboratory.
Qi Shaorong frowned, and said: “The sand wrapped on this stone is really stubborn! It can’t be washed off!”
Zhuang Hao smiled and said, “I’ll do it.”
Qi Shaorong backed away, and Zhuang Hao pressed his hand on the half-exposed stone. The stone burst into light, and the sand on the surface suddenly softened and peeled off.
Zhuang Hao’s body glowed for a while, and the spiritual energy in the seven-color crystal nucleus poured into Zhuang Hao’s body continuously.
During this period of time, Zhuang Hao has been taking elixirs, and his physical condition has always been good. With the stimulation of the stone, he immediately touched upon the barrier of promotion.
Zhuang Hao’s strength gradually entered the ninth level, and the light of the stone gradually weakened.
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao whose eyes were shining brightly, and asked, “Are you okay?”
Zhuang Hao shook his head and said, “I’m alright, we indeed made a big profit.”
“What the hell is this?” It should be difficult to absorb ordinary monster crystal nuclei.
Zhuang Hao narrowed his eyes and said: “It should belong to the semi-saint crystal nucleus. The crystal nucleus of the ninth-level monster is difficult to absorb, and the same is true for the saint-level ones. However, this crystal should be left by a sea beast that failed to evolve. The spiritual energy has not been fully solidified.” The formation of semi-saint crystal nuclei is very rare. Generally speaking, monsters that fail to advance will not have crystal nuclei at all. Zhuang Hao did not expect that when he went out for a walk, he could actually encounter such a good thing.

“That guy today doesn’t look simple.” Qi Shaorong said.
“Well, he’s really not easy. I feel that he is very powerful, but I also feel that he is very weak.” Zhuang Hao said.
Qi Shaorong nodded and said, “That guy seems to be sick.”
Zhuang Hao looked at Qi Shaorong and said, “If I guessed correctly, that guy should be at the saint level, but that guy seems to be restricted by something.”
Qi Shaorong: “Forget it, the matter of that guy has nothing to do with us…”
……
Bi Liuyun stayed in the room, quietly looking at the things in the space ring.
Bi Liuyun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and scratched his hair a little irritably. Hai Ling, what does this guy mean, he actually gave himself the Mermaid Heart.
Is this a courtesy? Why is it the Mermaid Heart? Hai Ling, does he know something?
Bi Liuyun put his hand on the Mermaid Heart. It is said that the Mermaid Heart was left after the death of a blessed saint-leveled mermaid emperor hundreds of years ago. If you get the Mermaid Heart, you may get the secret of the mermaid emperor to enter the saint level.
The Mermaid Heart is the most precious treasure of the Mermaid Clan. It has been kept by the Sea Dragon Clan, and its value is not inferior to that of the Neptune Pearl.
The Mermaid Heart and the Neptune Pearl have always existed as tokens of marriage between the two races.
He gave the Neptune Pearl to Hai Ling, and Hai Ling gave him the Mermaid Heart, why is this matter so entangled.
Qi Heng knocked on the door, Bi Liuyun opened the door, looked at Qi Heng, and smiled, “Ah-Heng, it’s you!”
Qi Heng nodded and said, “Yes! Who did you think it was? Hai Ling?”
“What nonsense are you saying?” Bi Liuyun said dissatisfied.
“Speaking of which, what did the young master of Hai Ling come to do? To take advantage of you?”
Bi Liuyun smiled dryly, “There is no such thing!”
“Oh, it’s good that there isn’t!” Qi Heng said. “By the way, there is someone outside who wants to challenge you.”
Bi Liuyun’s forehead was full of black lines, “Shouldn’t you have mentioned this kind of thing earlier?”
“Because that person doesn’t look very strong, I think you can scare that guy away just by singing to him.” Qi Heng said with a straight face.
Bi Liuyun looked at Qi Heng with a dark face, and said, “You underestimate me that much?”
“No! I didn’t underestimate you.” Qi Heng said sincerely.
Bi Liuyun: “……”
……
In the courtyard, a boy with blue hair glared at Qi Shaorong angrily.
“Is it you, who was stealing Princess Aili’er’s boyfriend?” The boy asked bad-tempered.
Zhuang Hao put his arms around Qi Shaorong’s shoulders, and said, “You guessed wrong, Shaorong likes me, I am hundreds of times stronger than that young master of the Sea Dragon Clan, Shaorong won’t even like that fish from the Sea Dragon Clan.”
The blue-haired boy looked at Zhuang Hao with disdain, and said, “Someone like you wants to compare with Young Master Hai Ling, you dream too much.”
Just looking at the blue-haired boy, he said dissatisfied, “You blind idiot, get out of here quickly.”
“I won’t leave until I see the guy who stole Princess Aili’er’s boyfriend. I must let that guy know the consequences of stealing the princess’s people and I will fight for the princess’s honor.” The boy raised his fist as he said righteously.
Qi Shaorong folded his arms, and said helplessly, “I never thought that the fierce princess would have such a brainless fan. It’s really nerve-wracking!”
The blue-haired boy looked at Qi Shaorong angrily, “You actually said that Princess Aili’er is fierce, you damn outcast.”
Qi Shaorong looked at the blue-haired boy and thought: This idiot is very arrogant!
Zhuang Hao looked at the young man and said, “Little devil, I see that you are as weak as an ant, so I will give you a warning. Do you want to court death?”
“What are you talking about, you freak!” the boy said, dissatisfied.
Zhuang Hao: “……”
“Young Master.” Bi Liuyun came out holding the zither.
When the blue-haired boy saw Bi Liuyun walking out, his emotions suddenly rose, “Is it you bastard? I want to fight you.”
“Young Master, where did this idiot come from?!”
“You can see where he came from by looking at the way his brain is flooded.”
Bi Liuyun smiled, “That’s right.”
The blue-haired boy made a fighting stance and rushed towards Bi Liuyun. Bi Liuyun smiled coldly and gently plucked the zither’s strings. A burst of killing intent flowed out from the strings. The young boy was sent flying by the killing power of the sound, and fell heavily to the ground.
When the boy fell to the ground, his legs turned into fishtails.
Looking at the boy’s fishtail, Qi Shaorong couldn’t help frowning. “What a rookie, he already showed his original appearance.”
The young mermaid tossed and turned a few times on the ground, but couldn’t get up.
“Is this guy unable to get up?” Qi Shaorong asked.
Zhuang Hao nodded, “I think so.”
Qi Shaorong: “……”
“You bastards!” The young mermaid managed to stand up with his fishtail, but fell down again soon after.
“You guys, don’t think that if you defeat me, it’s over. There are thousands of supporters of Princess Aili’er. Even if I fell, there are thousands of mermaids who come back to find you.” The blue-haired mermaid threatened.
Zhuang Hao looked at the blue-haired mermaid, “There are thousands of mermaids like you?”
“Yes, they are all like me.”
Zhuang Hao sighed, “No wonder the Sea Dragon Clan is unwilling to marry with the Mermaid Clan. If the Mermaid Clan is such a mediocre clan, marriage will not be of much use.”
The blue-haired mermaid blushed and said, “Stop looking down on people. If this is not land, I will definitely not lose.”
Qi Shaorong looked at the mermaid warrior on the ground, and said with a headache, “This guy seems to be dehydrated, should we send this guy back into the water?”
The blue-haired mermaid said angrily, “You don’t need to care.”
Qi Shaorong tilted his head and said, “This guy’s tail looks quite fat, let’s cut it off and braise it. For such a big tail, steaming half of it is enough.”
The blue-haired mermaid widened his eyes, and looked at Qi Shaorong, “You vicious human being.”
The blue-haired boy tore a teleportation talisman and disappeared in place.
Qi Shaorong looked at the place where the blue-haired mermaid disappeared, rolled his eyes, and said, “What the heck! I thought this guy was very capable, instead, did he plan to retreat a long time ago?” He was scared away like this and also too spineless.
Hei Sha came out and said with a sigh, “The Mermaid Clan can only produce these types of fools. It’s really that one generation is not as good as the other.”
“That idiot Hai Ling can really cause trouble!” Zhuang Hao snorted softly.
Bi Liuyun looked at Hei Sha and asked, “Senior Hei Sha, are the Mermaid Clan very weak now?”
Hei Sha nodded, “During the previous Sea Tribes war, many aces of the Mermaid Clan died in battle. After the Sea Tribes war ended, there was endless infighting. Originally, the Mermaid Clan was a royal clan, and their strength far surpassed that of ordinary clans. However, the overall strength of the clan is now average.”
Bi Liuyun nodded and said, “I see!”
“It’s been a long time since a golden-tailed mermaid appeared in the Mermaid Clan,” said Hei Sha.
Qi Shaorong looked at Hei Sha and asked, “A mermaid with a golden fishtail?”
Hei Sha nodded, and said: “Yes! It is said that mermaids with golden fishtails have outstanding aptitude. Only mermaids with golden fishtails can enter the saint level.”
“Originally, the mermaid royal family was all golden-tailed mermaids, but the blood of the mermaid family gradually degenerated. After the death of the last mermaid king, not a single golden mermaid could be found. However, the mermaid king of the previous generation had a pale gold tail, but his bloodlines were not pure.”
T/N: Sry for the late update…… 
No excuses it was purely late . For the next few weeks the updates will be one or two days late due to exams.
Please tell me if there are any mistakes
Any guesses who might develop a golden fishtail in the future? 😆
My guess would be Qi shurong.
I’m thinking Bi Liuyan, his mother was a mermaid princess.
It was so obvious i was hoping that it was somebody else.
I guess we wait and see 😆
I also think it is Big Liuyan. Although he’s half human and born without a tale he might develop one with the right stimulation.
Oooo! I wonder if Bi Liuyan has a tail and, if so, what color it is?!?!
This mermaid clan…. they certainly do have water on the brain. 😆
This mermaid clan reminds me of Qi family and that – whats her name – zhuang hao fangirl. Idiot but arrogant.
