Ruan Mingchu hummed in agreement and pushed him toward that direction.
The three leaders of Snake Island are known as Sister Snake, Sister Scorpion, and Brother Hidden. Brother Hidden is a title given to him by his subordinates, because they only know that such a person exists, but have never seen him or know anything about him.
It's amazing how a vague voice in my mind says that there is a third leader on Scorpion Island.
Snake Sister and Scorpion Sister are the real leaders of Snake and Scorpion Island. Sometimes they are best friends, and sometimes they are mortal enemies.
Snake Sister's house was the closest to Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu, so the two of them went in first.
Snake Sister's house is quite in line with the habits of snakes: dark and damp, with even lush little mushrooms growing in the corners.
Mu Yu, with his sharp eyes, noticed the faint crumbs on the bed. He tentatively lifted the sheet, revealing pieces of snake molts underneath.
"Could Sister Snake really be a snake-person? Mermaids exist, so it's quite reasonable for snake-people to exist as well."
Uh... after thinking about it carefully, Ruan Mingchu actually quite agrees with this idea.
Ruan Mingchu searched through the memories she had acquired again: "But at least in front of people, she always appeared as a normal woman in front of snakes."
As he spoke, he frowned. "Wait, it seems no one has ever known about Snake Sister's secondary gender. She doesn't have glands on the back of her neck, but she can emit a strange fragrance."
So what kind of place is this? Why are there so many strange things here? And since they arrived here thanks to the good fortune of the "Koi Fairy," there must be something important about it.
"Can you push me in front of that dressing mirror?" Mu Yu's voice interrupted Ruan Mingchu's thoughts.
“Of course.” Ruan Mingchu replied as she took a few steps and arrived in front of the dressing mirror.
Snake Sister is still a woman, and loving beauty is in her nature. It's normal for a mirror to exist, right? Ruan Mingchu thought to herself as she looked at the ordinary mirror that didn't even have a frame.
Mu Yu felt something was off about the mirror. He raised his hand and tapped the mirror with his finger, and water-like ripples appeared on the surface.
The next second, Mu Yu was sucked into the mirror.
Ruan Mingchu's pupils contracted, and when he reached out to grab it, he grasped nothing. He then touched the mirror, but it remained perfectly unchanged.

Author's Note:
This is probably a story of a kind-hearted fish seeking redemption.
one
From a young age, Ruan Huang was raised by his mother to be an Alpha. Predicted to differentiate into an Omega, he was forced to take Alpha hormone-based drugs, and eventually differentiated into an Omega. From then on, he was forced to take various prohibited drugs and live a difficult life pretending to be an Alpha.
It can be said that Nguyen Hoang was a puppet of his mother in her power struggle, and every step he took was controlled by invisible threads; his soul had already sunk.
Qingyao is a lazy mermaid who has lived for a very long time. Because he is lazy, he is still a virgin. He accidentally discovered a passage connecting two worlds and came to the human world.
They landed deep in a forest and encountered Nguyen Huang, who was hiding there during his estrus cycle. Because he had been using suppressants and illegal drugs, Nguyen Huang's estrus cycle was particularly intense.
Qing, a virgin mermaid, couldn't resist and spent about ten days making love with Ruan Huang.
After his heat cycle ended and he regained his senses, Ruan Huang wanted to kill Qing Yao, who had discovered his identity. Qing Yao was strong, so Ruan Huang couldn't kill him. However, Qing Yao remembered the saying "a night of marriage is worth a hundred days of kindness" and granted Ruan Huang's small request by pretending to be killed by him.

Qingyao was too lazy to find his way back; he just wanted to find a leisurely place to continue his laid-back life. Soon, thanks to his handsome looks, he found a job with room and board provided, where all he had to do was smile. His naturally cheerful (and slightly roguish) personality allowed him to quickly integrate, and his quality of life skyrocketed (teasing pretty girls every day, and occasionally thinking about Ruanhuang).
It wasn't until Qingyao met Ruanhuang, a guest who had been tricked into taking aphrodisiacs, that things changed. The kind-hearted Qingyao not only helped Ruanhuang defeat the bad guys, but also offered herself to help Ruanhuang recover from the aphrodisiac.
Upon waking and seeing the person he thought he had killed, Ruan Huang's first reaction was to silence them. Qing Yao felt he had done a good deed and should be thanked, so he refused to play along with Ruan Huang's fake death game.
But Ruan Huang insisted, and the magnanimous Qing Yao had no choice but to play along with him in the game of swearing a poisonous oath to establish a contract.

Having tasted the sweetness, Qingyao finally understood the joy of the broth, but he discovered that only Ruanhuang could bring him this joy; he had no reaction to anyone else.
Having learned that the Emperor Nguyen was recruiting guards after a group of his guards had just died, Qingyao chose the latter over Lanfu and eagerly went to apply, successfully standing out from thousands of applicants.
When Nguyen Hoang saw Thanh Yiu dressed as a guard in his own home, he thought he was seeing things, but he was not. Nguyen Hoang couldn't stand him loitering around under his nose.
On the very day he was about to fire and get rid of Qingyao, Qingyao helped him capture three groups of assassins and drive away an illegitimate Alpha brother who came to provoke him.
Ruan Huang, who was short-handed, reluctantly kept Qing Yao. Qing Yao took advantage of this and went around to Ruan Huang every day looking for trouble, and he was quite happy about it.

The emperor's mother was assassinated, but just three days later his father was going to appoint a new queen, the woman who had given birth to his Alpha son.
If this succeeds, it will have a serious impact on Emperor Nguyen, who has devoted his entire life to the throne.
Qingyao noticed that Ruanhuang was preoccupied and, in order to cheer him up, took the initiative to help him resolve the issue.
Soon it was revealed that the emperor's mistress had several lovers, and the Alpha son was not even the emperor's child. The matter of a new empress was dropped, and the emperor even began to suspect whether his other illegitimate children were his own.
That night, Qingyao felt ecstatic, and Ruanhuang took the initiative to make love to him. For the first time, the two enjoyed sexual intercourse while both were sober.
PS: Ruan Huang's idea was to sell his body to get Qing Yao to work for him, but it was just a transaction. Qing Yao was truly in love but didn't know it.

The turning point came when someone accused Ruan Huang of pretending to be an Alpha while being an Omega. Omegas have absolutely no right to inherit, and if the accusation succeeded, Ruan Huang would be finished.
Of course, those behind Nguyen Hoang couldn't let them succeed, but they had the most advanced equipment. Their previous methods of pretending to be an A weren't enough, and Nguyen Hoang's faction was urging him to undergo the immature and high-risk redifferentiation surgery, or he would die trying.
The surgery failed as expected, and Ruan Huang calmly accepted his fate. Unexpectedly, Qing Yao pulled him back from the brink of death.
Looking at Qingyao's anxious and worried face, Ruanhuang felt for the first time that he was a living, breathing person who was valued by others.
Later, Nguyen Hoang learned that he had survived by eating his flesh and blood.

Ruan Huang successfully differentiated into an Alpha and defended his status, but he began to find everything here boring and disgusting. He couldn't even eat and had to rely on IV nutrition to get by.
[To be continued... It's already over a thousand words! I was worried it would be too long and tiring for you to keep turning the pages. See how considerate I am?]
57. Snake Sister from Snake Island is going to become depressed.
Mu Yu's presence quickly dissipated, as if he had never been to this place.
With a sudden burst of force, Ruan Mingchu shattered the mirror, which fell onto the table, reflecting dozens of Ruan Mingchus with menacing expressions. To be able to take Mu Yu away right under his nose, his methods were truly impressive.
Forcing himself to calm down, Ruan Mingchu spread his mental energy outwards to search for Mu Yu. The entire Snake Scorpion Island was covered by his mental energy, but he still couldn't find Mu Yu's presence.
It must be a spatial issue, Ruan Mingchu thought. If Mu Yu had created an independent space, he indeed wouldn't be able to find him by searching like this.
Or is it possible that his senses, touch, and mental power were all clouded by illusions? That's not impossible.
Ruan Mingchu closed his eyes to sense the spatial fluctuations nearby.
Regardless of the type of spatial skill, its use will cause spatial instability, or spatial fluctuations.
"Found it."
Ruan Mingchu used his spatial skills to increase spatial fluctuations and forcefully squeezed through.
The scene was set up exactly the same, but the mirror was still intact; he hadn't broken it.
Ruan Mingchu quickly glanced around and ran outside, where the sounds of fierce fighting could be heard.
Mu Yu was fighting with a woman who had a human body and a snake tail; this must be Sister Snake.
Snake Sister's strength is comparable to Mu Yu's, but Snake Sister is very used to her snake tail and has trained it into her handy weapon, while Mu Yu is not used to his fish tail. This is not obvious when fighting opponents who are obviously weaker than him, but it is a glaring fatal flaw.
Its beautiful red tail was now mottled, with many scales missing, revealing blood-red flesh.
Ruan Mingchu was extremely distressed. He wanted to go and help, but Mu Yu stopped him with a look, as if Mu Yu was saying that he could.
Ruan Mingchu knew Mu Yu's pride, and he would respect his decision, but he couldn't help feeling heartache.
Filled with unventable emotions, Ruan Mingchu turned his gaze to the people who had rushed over upon hearing the commotion; they were Snake Sister's direct subordinates.
They were really unlucky; they ran into an angry Nguyen Minh Thu and got beaten half to death.
The screams of her subordinates disturbed Snake Sister's concentration, and Mu Yu, who had been intently searching for an opportunity, seized this weakness and pierced through Snake Sister's vital spot.
"ah--"
Snake Sister, as expected of the boss, had screams that were louder, clearer, and sharper than her subordinates'.
Just as Mu Yu was about to deliver two more punches, Ruan Mingchu picked him up and placed him on a stone wheelchair, carefully cleaning the dirt off his tail with cotton swabs.
Mu Yu: ? ? ?
Upon closer inspection, there was a large first-aid kit at Ruan Mingchu's feet. Where did he get all of this?
Previously, injuries were as frequent as eating and drinking. Mu Yu would either wait for the wounds to heal on their own, or spray some medical spray, or if it was more serious, he would have to lie down in the medical pod. He had never received such a grand treatment for a mere scrape.
Look at those seven or eight bottles of medicine, are you not going to apply them all?
Mu Yu shifted its tail uncomfortably, but Ruan Mingchu quickly pressed it down, saying, "Don't move."
Ruan Mingchu's eyes were fixed on the area where the scales had been rubbed off, and he didn't notice where he was pressing.
Warm, dry hands covered Mu Yu's lower abdomen, radiating warmth. Cotton swabs gently wiped away the heat, causing a few scales to be subtly raised. Mu Yu covered her face, hoping that Ruan Mingchu wouldn't notice.
Full of worry and melancholy, Ruan Mingchu didn't notice that Mu Yu felt a slight disappointment.
Lying on the ground, Snake Sister slowly repaired her wounds. As soon as she was able to get up, she opened her mouth wide and sprang out her venomous fangs to bite Ruan Mingchu's shoulder.
That despicable man really underestimated her; he actually dared to expose his back.
The enormous mouth was already on Ruan Mingchu's shoulder, and Snake Sister's face showed a triumphant smile as she bit down hard.
"Bang bang——"
Snake Sister covered her mouth and rolled around on the ground, her teeth shattered into countless pieces that fell to the ground.
Mu Yu looked at Snake Sister with pity. She really had no self-awareness. How could she possibly ambush Ruan Mingchu?
Even Ruan Mingchu himself didn't give her a second glance.
After finishing the waist-wrapping of Mu Yu's tail, the tail was completely wrapped in gauze like a mummy.
