In the laboratory.
Qi Shaorong was researching new cosmetics, while Zhuang Hao was helping.
“I didn’t expect Hai Ling would give Liuyun the Mermaid Heart! It seems that I misunderstood him before.” Qi Shaorong said.
Zhuang Hao curled his lips, and said disdainfully, “That guy is very treacherous, throwing things that he doesn’t need to Musician Bi.”
Qi Shaorong: “……”
“Speaking of which, I didn’t expect Musician Bi to be a mermaid. I heard that mermaids are very good at singing! Rumors really shouldn’t be believed. If all the mermaids can sing, and they all sing like Bi Liuyun. Then, it’s not surprising that the Mermaid Clan can become the royal clan of the Sea Tribes. Thousands of mermaids singing such an ugly song together, the lethality must be amazing.” Zhuang Hao sighed.
Qi Shaorong: “……”
“Help me grind this bunch into powder.” Qi Shaorong said as he threw a bunch of pearls at Zhuang Hao.
Zhuang Hao nodded, “Don’t worry, leave it to me.”
As soon as Zhuang Hao put down the pestle, the whole bowl cracked, and immediately after that, the whole experiment table was torn apart.
Qi Shaorong turned around, glared at Zhuang Hao, and asked, “What are you doing?”
Zhuang Hao said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I didn’t control my strength well.”
“With your unable to accomplish anything but can spoil everything appearance and you want to sell your body is wishful thinking!” Qi Shaorong said angrily with his hand on his waist.
Zhuang Hao smiled brightly, and said: “I am so useless, but you are still willing to take me in. Thank you so much, I am very touched.”
Qi Shaorong looked at Zhuang Hao and said, “Okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and clean……”
Zhuang Hao nodded, “I’ll clean up right away.”
“What level is your current strength?” Qi Shaorong asked.
Zhuang Hao smiled and said, “That crystal nucleus should be left by someone who is only one step away from the saint level.” He(ZH) only absorbed part of the spiritual energy in that crystal nucleus. He sealed most of it in his body. Probably because the seal isn’t stable, the spiritual energy will seep out occasionally.
“If I knew that thing was so powerful, I wouldn’t have given it to you.”
Zhuang Hao: “……”
Qi Heng walked in, Qi Shaorong looked at Qi Heng, and asked, “Ah-Heng, why are you here, it’s not time for dinner yet.”
Qi Heng shook his head and answered, “It’s not time for dinner, but a few fish came.”
Zhuang Hao raised his head and said, “I thought that brain-dead mermaid was just joking last time, how come other fish really come over? Never thought that Princess Aili’er has such favorability! That mental little princess doesn’t look like anything special!”
Qi Heng: “…No, it’s a few old mermaids, they don’t seem rash, and those people don’t seem to want to stand out for Princess Aili’er.”
Qi Shaorong said with a look of surprise, “How come Princess Aili’er not only attracts young mermaids, but also old mermaids?”

Qi Heng nodded and said, “I think Liuyun thinks the same way.”
Zhuang Hao: “……”
……
Before Qi Shaorong and the others reached the hall, they heard the impassioned persuasion from the Mermaid Clan elders in the hall.
Qi Shaorong suddenly had a strange feeling, Qi Shaorong suddenly felt that the elders of the Mermaid Clan were very much like the MLM personnel in his previous life.
Zhuang Hao looked at Qi Shaorong and asked, “Shaorong, what’s wrong?”
Qi Shaorong shook his head and said, “It’s nothing.”
“What are you talking about? Why can’t I understand a single word.” Bi Liuyun looked at the old men in front of him with a smile on his face and said humbly.
“Young Master, you are the future king of my Mermaid Clan and the hope of the clan. Please come back to the Sea Tribes with me.”
“Young Master, you are the future king of my Mermaid Clan, and the clan depends on you. Everyone is waiting for you!”
“Young master, you are the king that my Mermaid Clan has been waiting for thousands of years, and everyone is waiting for you.”
……
“You guys think too much, I’m a human. I’m really not some sort of fish.” Bi Liuyun said sincerely.
Facing these elders, Bi Liuyun couldn’t help but remember his mother’s words: to be placed with so much hope is a kind of sorrow.
“Young Master, you are a noble mermaid, why call yourself a lowly human.” The old man with white beard said devastated.
Bi Liuyun: “……”
Zhuang Hao stood at the door with folded arms, looked at the old man with white beard, and thought to himself: This old guy deserves a beating! To say such things in front of them.
“This elder, don’t talk nonsense! Being a human is good! Humans have good body proportions!” Bi Liuyun squinted his eyes and thought: Mermaids seem to have deep prejudice against humans! Half of his blood is human! He doesn’t know if those old guys will change their faces knowing this.
“Young Master, you must have stayed with those two-legged trash for too long, so the aesthetics have gone wrong. The humans are all treacherous and ugly.” The old mermaid said solemnly.
Qi Shaorong stood at the door and said with a half-smile: “Being a mermaid is good! When you are hungry, you can cut off the tail and braise it, so you don’t have to worry about being hungry.”
The mermaid old man looked at Qi Shaorong with a fierce look on his face, and said, “Sir, you have gone too far.”
Zhuang Hao stood in front of Qi Shaorong and said, “Shaorong is just joking, don’t be so serious! Seeing that you are quite old, you should be more open-minded.”
The old mermaid looked at Bi Liuyun and said, “Young Master, you can no longer hang out with these untouchables, it will lower your status.”
Bi Liuyun: “……”
“Senior, I think you must have made a mistake. I am not some young master of yours. I am really a human being. You can see that I look like a human from head to toe.” Bi Liuyun said sincerely.
“Young Master, you don’t have to lie to us. I really don’t understand why you choose to be a commoner instead of a noble mermaid.” The old mermaid said with a puzzled face.
Bi Liuyun looked at these people and said, “I’m really a human, and I don’t think being a human being is lowly.”
Qi Shaorong looked at these people, and said: “I say, you are looking for your Young Master too hastily. When you just find someone, and you regard them as your Young Master, it is inappropriate.”
“On him……”
“Great Elder, why don’t you test it, this guy doesn’t seem to have the noble temperament of the mermaid royal family.” An old man with short hair grabbed the emotional old man mermaid and said.
“That’s right.” The old man who was reminded took out a crystal and said, “This fellow cultivator, can I trouble you to put your hand on it?”
Bi Liuyun nodded, “Of course.”
Bi Liuyun put his hand on the crystal, but the crystal didn’t respond at all.
“Great Elder, we seem to have made a mistake, this guy is not a mermaid.”
The white-haired old man frowned, “Made a mistake? No wonder, how could a royal mermaid mix with the humans.”
“Since it’s a mistake, please leave.” Qi Shaorong said.
These mermaid elders started leaving one by one.
Qi Shaorong looked at Bi Liuyun and asked, “What happened just now?”
Bi Liuyun smiled and replied, “Nothing, I had a bunch of those detection stones when I was young.”
Qi Shaorong looked at Bi Liuyun, and said, “That kind of detection stone is not cheap, right? You were a local tyrant when you were young ah!”
Bi Liuyun smiled dryly, “It can be said so, but I was a local tyrant who had money and couldn’t spend it. You know, I would rather exchange the precious detection stone for a piece of delicious barbecue.” It’s a pity, the only thing you can meet is fish.
……
Hai Ling knocked on the door, and Qi Heng opened it.
“Young Master Hai, are you here to find Liuyun?” Qi Heng asked.
Hai Ling nodded, “Yes! Is he here?”
“Yes, but he’s taking a beauty nap.” Qi Heng tilted his head and said.
Hai Ling frowned and asked, “When will he wake up…?”
Qi Heng shook his head, “Not clear.”
Qi Heng stretched out his hand towards Hai Ling, and said, “One million for one stick of incense time.”
Qi Heng nodded, “Right! The price increased.”
With a dark face, Hai Ling said, “Does your City Lord’s Mansion treat everyone like this?”
Qi Heng shook his head, smiled warmly, and said, “Of course not, you are a special VI P!”
“A special VIP, so it’s very expensive?” Hai Ling asked.
Qi Heng nodded, “Yes.”
Hai Ling: “……”
Hai Ling took out a diamond card and handed it to Qi Heng. Qi Heng took the diamond card and said with a smile on his face, “A VIP is a VIP! Come in.”
Qi Heng looked at the money card in his hand, and thought to himself: If there were a few more people who can be taken advantage of like Hai Ling, why would there be any need for cosmetics business! It would be good to just collect the tickets, but unfortunately, such an opportunity is hard to come by!
Hai Ling looked at Qi Heng and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Qi Heng smiled, and said affectionately, “It’s nothing. I was just thinking, if only there were more people like Young Master Hai Ling in this world.”
Hai Ling frowned and questioned, “People like me?”
Qi Heng looked at Hai Ling’s troubled expression, smiled, and said, “Don’t worry, I didn’t set my sights on you.” I just set my sights on your pocket.
Hai Ling looked at Qi Heng’s appearance, and asked suspiciously: “You seem to disdain me. Is there something bad about me?”
“Young Master misunderstood, how could I disdain you, but you do have a lot of bad things. There are too many bad things about you, which one do you want me to talk about first?”
“Just say what you want.” Hai Ling looked at Qi Heng, and said to himself: Qi Heng spends all day with Bi Liuyun, so he should know what Bi Liuyun thinks.
Qi Heng nodded, and said, “Alright! I heard that if you aquarians stay in the water all day, your brain will get flooded! I heard that you aquarians eat fish all day long! If you eat fish all day long, you must be malnourished……”
Hai Ling: “……”
Hai Ling smiled, and said to Qi Heng, “Actually, after years of development, our Sea Tribes have developed a variety of diets.”
“Like our Sea Dragon Clan, we can isolate a completely waterless area in the sea, and then use fire magic to make cooked food.” Hai Ling said.
Qi Heng’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t help sighing a little: “I didn’t expect it to be like this. It shouldn’t be easy to isolate a waterless area during a disaster.”
Hai Ling nodded, and said, “It’s really not easy, but with the ability of our Sea Dragon Clan, it’s not difficult at all.”
