He looked at Liu Meng, who was only wearing a thin-strapped bra and shorts. Li Yang and Gao Wan went even further, both wearing only shorts.
"Weren't you always complaining about how cold it was in the tent? Are you just freezing and confused now?"
Liu Meng wasn't angry when her lie was exposed. She asked with a smile, "What are you angry about?"
She looked innocent, as if she really didn't know what Mu Yu was angry about.
Before Mu Yu could speak, Liu Meng started scolding him, "Even if you're going to stay by the adults' side, you still need to have some self-awareness. You don't expect to be the only one by the adults' side forever, do you?"
How could that be? Mermaids, those monstrous creatures, have no fidelity even to their own kind, let alone to a mere human plaything.
She glanced at Mu Yu's body and said, "Even if you're this big, you can't possibly satisfy the master. Why don't you let the master take in the three of us, and we can all be happy together?"
This is the norm on the Mermaid Continent, but for Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu, who come from other worlds, it's just too shameless.
First, Ruan Mingchu didn't quite understand why Liu Meng thought Mu Yu was his. Second, what did he mean by saying that Mu Yu, being so big, couldn't satisfy him? When did his desire become that strong? He'd never even masturbated!
The most outrageous thing I did was today when I couldn't resist the temptation and bit Mu Yu's gland.
There was a moment of confusion, and Ruan Mingchu didn't know what to say.
Mu Yu was also shocked. Was the shameless and flirtatious Liu Meng really the same person as the girl who had been holding back her tears three days ago?
He felt as disgusted as if he had found a fly in his food before eating. Mu Yu now even doubted whether these three people were really as pitiful and innocent as they described themselves.
"Hehe..." Seeing Mu Yu's pitiful, stunned expression, Liu Meng giggled again. She twisted her waist and lunged at Ruan Mingchu, but Ruan Mingchu dodged her.
Ruan Mingchu pulled Mu Yu back onto the aircraft. To the astonishment of Liu Meng and the other two, some food was thrown down. A few seconds later, three more silver fish coins were tossed over.
One for each person, impartial and unbiased.
Then, the aircraft flew away.
The remaining three shivered in the cold wind.
The three of them were completely baffled. How could anyone do this? Abandoning someone just because of a disagreement? Are they crazy?
Inside the aircraft, Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu had the same expression: they were saved.
Meng Shuo yawned. "I advise you to get used to it as soon as possible. It's not an exaggeration to say that mermaids are naturally savage; that's just how it is on the Mermaid Continent."
Ruan Mingchu covered Mu Yu's ears, and at the same time, Mu Yu also raised his hand to cover Ruan Mingchu's ears.
Perfectly synchronized.
Meng Shuo rolled his eyes. Damn it, he didn't want to eat dog food!
They hardly went to any cities along the way, and even when they did, it was only when Meng Shuo was occasionally sent to buy supplies. Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu did not see any other mermaids.
Upon entering the Holy City's territory, Meng Shuo said, "We must proceed on foot within the Holy City's boundaries. Let's find a place to hide the flying vehicle."
The holy city is divided into two parts: the inner part is the temple, and the outer part is called the pilgrimage city. It is an ordinary yet extraordinary city.
The area beyond the walls of the holy city is the entire holy city, with no physical markers, but as soon as you step into this area, a feeling will arise in your heart: Oh, I have entered the holy city.
Ruan Mingchu lingered here for a while and discovered that within the so-called Holy City, there existed a substance that affected mental power and was beneficial to it.
As one gets closer to the holy city, the concentration of this wondrous substance increases, relaxing the mind and bringing a sense of pleasure to both body and mind.
Meng Shuo displayed a mysterious pride: "You can feel it now, right? This is a unique feature of the Holy City. It will feel even better once we enter the city."
Ruan Mingchu nodded politely.
Two guards were collecting city fees at the city gate, one silver fish coin each. Ruan Mingchu looked at Meng Shuo, and sure enough, the corners of Meng Shuo's upturned lips had drooped down.
Meng Shuo reluctantly took out three silver fish coins and handed them to the guard in exchange for three wooden plaques.
The guard said, "Please return it when you leave."
Meng Shuo said "Oh," her expression not very good, but she didn't forget to thank the guard.
Beyond the city gate lies a wide street, seemingly paved with a single piece of jade, shimmering in the sunlight as if walking on water.
The buildings on both sides of the road are mostly made of stone. Although they are different in style, they have a unique meaning when put together.
Meanwhile, the streets are mostly filled with mermaid-style vehicles, and very few people walk on foot.
Not long after arriving, Meng Shuo rented a mermaid car and even used the most expensive seawater.
He jumped into the mermaid car and let out a comfortable sigh.
Meng Shuo glanced at Ruan Mingchu's legs and scoffed disdainfully, "I will absolutely not rent you a mermaid car!"
He could only afford to spend fifty copper coins a day on Ruan Mingchu.
Ruan Mingchu's lips twitched. "Thanks, but I can't drive a mermaid car either." He had absolutely no interest in it.
Rabbit Aotian was interested in everything. Despite Meng Shuo's strong refusal, he jumped into the car and swam in the water.
Mengshuo: Damn, this is awesome!
Ruan Mingchu and Mu Yu walked, while Meng Shuo drove with Tu Aotian and Men Hao. Everyone followed Meng Shuo's directions to Fushuitang.
Meng Shuo said, "Fu Shui Tang holds events every month, and the first ten people to receive holy water blessings. This month's event doesn't start for another three days, so there's plenty of time to make it."
At this point, Meng Shuo became curious, "You don't know about Fushuitang's activities either, so why are you suddenly in such a hurry to get going?"
If they continue at their previous pace, taking a day off every three days and then spending another day playing, they really won't be able to catch up with this month's event.
Ruan Mingchu smiled mysteriously: "Just luck."
It can only be said that the desire for recovery is becoming increasingly urgent.
Upon arriving at Fushuitang, Mengshuo let Ruan Mingchu go in by himself.
"Once you're in, you have to participate in this month's activities."
This is how Meng Shuo explained it.
Ruan Mingchu stared at him for three seconds, clearly not believing his nonsense.
“I’m going in,” Ruan Mingchu said, looking at Mu Yu.
Mu Yu nodded.
Meng Shuo covered her cheek and stepped aside. Good heavens, it's just a matter of going in to register for a few minutes, does it have to be such a dramatic farewell?
Looking in from the outside, the entrance to Fushuitang always seems like the mouth of a dark, giant beast, but once you step over the threshold, it suddenly becomes bright and clear.
Ruan Mingchu looked around and saw no end in sight, but spheres of different colors and sizes floated in the air.
He reached out to touch the sphere closest to his hand, but the purple sphere bounced away as if it were being repelled.
Ruan Mingchu tried other colored balls, but only the silver-white ball would let him get close. Once he touched the ball, it would disappear. The other colored balls all repelled him.
Relating this to her own hair color, Ruan Mingchu felt that color discrimination existed everywhere.
Although he didn't understand what this place was for, all Ruan Mingchu could do now was touch the silvery-white balls, so he touched them one by one.
I don't know how long I touched it, but the silvery-white ball could no longer be seen.
Suddenly everything went black, and when I opened my eyes again, there was a normal reception desk in front of me.
"Congratulations on passing the registration assessment. Please come here to register your information," the mermaid at the front desk said to Ruan Mingchu, pushing a form to the outer edge of the front desk.
“Okay,” Ruan Mingchu walked over, picked up a pen first, and then looked at the form.
The main information to fill in includes name, age, hair color, and tail color. Ruan Mingchu didn't know what color his tail was; he had never been able to conjure up a tail.
But Ruan Mingchu did not stop and filled out the form from beginning to end before handing it back to the front desk.
The mermaid thanked him for his cooperation, saying, "This is the outline of this month's welfare activities. Please read it carefully to avoid any misunderstandings."
Ruan Mingchu accepted the gift and expressed his gratitude.
After putting the information form filled out by Ruan Mingchu into the file box, Miss Mermaid glanced at the time and prepared to leave work.
Of course, she needs to check the registration and assessment device before she leaves, otherwise she will have to come back early tomorrow to check it.
"Huh? Wasn't the energy box newly replaced? It's already used up so quickly. The quality of this energy box is no good. I should switch back to the old one from now on." The mermaid muttered to herself as she deftly replaced the energy box in the device with a new one.
The registration and assessment requirements are very simple: you just need to capture a sufficient number of energy balls that match your own energy within a certain time.
Generally speaking, most people would only manage to grab about twenty, as absorbing energy is a complex and slow process. Never before has anyone absorbed energy so readily upon touching it, finishing all the compatible energy within five minutes, like Ruan Mingchu.
Ruan Mingchu was unaware of the rules, or even the content of the assessment, and had no idea how outrageous his behavior was. The mermaid would never have imagined that a mermaid could consume an energy box in five minutes. The blame can only fall on the manufacturer of the energy box.
After registering, they just waited for the event to start. Of course, they couldn't just wander the streets while waiting; they had to go to a hotel to check in.
Red Heart Hotel offers three room types: double room, double room, and triple room.
Ruan Mingchu felt that it would be most cost-effective for the three of them to book a triple room.
"No, one double room and one twin room." Meng Shuo insisted on this arrangement; he didn't want to spend the night with these two gay men, even when he had the option.
“Fine,” Ruan Mingchu said, since Meng Shuo was paying for it anyway. She was just used to Meng Shuo being so stingy, so she instinctively chose the most economical option.
The receptionist gave an apologetic smile: "Dear guest, I'm so sorry, but we only have double rooms and triple rooms available."
Meng Shuo gritted her teeth: "Then two double rooms will do."
This option is more expensive than the previous double room plus twin room. Ruan Mingchu shook his head, really not understanding what Meng Shuo was up to.
After paying, Meng Shuo received two keys. The room was on the third floor, and the two rooms were next to each other. Meng Shuo first went into the two rooms to take a look. The general configurations were the same, except one faced the sun and the other faced away from the sun.
Meng Shuo naturally chose the room facing the sun; since he paid for it, Ruan Mingchu couldn't let him stay in a bad place!
Ruan Mingchu had absolutely no intention of competing with him, and couldn't even fathom the intricate thoughts running through Meng Shuo's mind.
Three meals a day are provided free of charge. You can eat at the restaurant on the first floor or pack your own food to eat in your room.
Ruan Mingchu packed some food and ate it in his room while studying the monthly activity schedule of Fushuitang.
This month's event is a flying skateboard + cooking competition, where you first grab ingredients while riding a skateboard, and then cook the dishes while riding a skateboard.
The flying skateboard is a variant of the mermaid car...
Huh? God, it's a skateboard that uses a tail to control its direction. Where is he going to find a tail?!
Meng Shuo was very unhappy about being interrupted while taking a bath, but she couldn't just ignore Ruan Mingchu, who was like a Buddha, otherwise she would be more than just unhappy.
Meng Shuo pondered, "Generally speaking, due to bloodline, mermaid genes are superior to human genes, not to mention that you have a king-level bloodline, so you definitely have a mermaid form."
"The challenge now is to get you to feel the transition between the two forms. Once you get it the first time, you'll naturally get it after that."
It sounds simple, but the question is how to get past that first time.
Meng Shuo suggested, "Let's try going into the sea. There's a sea outside the Holy City with pretty good water quality."
