Yun Chujiu laughed dryly when she saw how angry the Merman was. “Brother Merman, you said you wouldn’t be angry, why didn’t you keep your word?”
The Merman’s face turned red. “You, you little girl, you… actually asked such a shameless question! How outrageous!”
Yun Chujiu blinked her eyes. “Brother Merman, how is that a shameless question? This is a big problem that concerns the survival of the Merfolk! You are the only one left. I have to know how the Merfolk reproduce so that I can help you find a partner! Do you want the Merfolk to go extinct?”
The Merman was both embarrassed and angry. After a moment of silence, he squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth, “We will turn into human form.”
Yun Chujiu let out a long “OH”, with a relieved expression, she said, “That’s easy then. When I rescue you in the future, I will introduce you to a girl. Although the offspring you give birth to is of mixed blood, it is still much better than having no offspring. Brother Merman, don’t worry. I can tell that your looks and figure are not bad. There will be many girls who don’t mind that you are a Merman.”
The Merman’s face was completely red. For some reason, he felt that it was very embarrassing to be naked in front of this little girl. With a wave of his hand, a sky-blue cloak appeared on his body, covering his entire body.
Yun Chujiu blinked her eyes. “Big Brother Merman, so you are deliberately not wearing any clothes? I thought you were only like this because you don’t have any clothes!”
The Merman’s face was as red as blood. In the sea, the men of the Merfolks had always been naked, and the women only covered their chests. Only during important festivals or banquets would they transform into their human form and wear fancy clothes.
He was already used to not wearing clothes. Initially, he thought nothing of it, but after hearing what the little girl said, why did he feel so uncomfortable?!
Yun Chujiu saw that the Merman was so embarrassed that he was about to find a hole to hide in. She cursed in her heart, ‘Aiyo, why are all the beautiful men in this world so innocent and shy?!’
She changed the topic out of kindness. She pointed at Liu Qian and said, “Brother Merman, can you cast your illusion on this person and help me ask him a few questions?”
The Merman could not wait to ease the awkward situation he was in and immediately said, “Yes, you can question him yourself. He will see you as a mermaid.”
“Thank you, Brother Merman. Let’s begin!”
The Merman made a hand seal. A moment later, Liu Qian opened his eyes on the ground. The first thing he did was to look at his hands and feet. When he realized that he had not turned into a fish, he kept kowtowing to Yun Chujiu. “Thank you, Fairy! Thank you, Fairy!”
“Why did you come here? This is your only chance. If you don’t tell the truth, I will turn you into a fish again!”
“Benevolent fairy! A masked man asked me to come. He said that if I could help him retrieve something, he would help me increase my spiritual power and make our Goshawk Sect a super sect. Even the four great sects won’t be able to compare to our Goshawk Sect when we were done.”
“What did he ask you to retrieve?” Yun Chujiu curled her lips. ‘This Liu Qian was really ambitious, even bigger than the four great sects? An Feng and I alone could destroy his sect of flies!’
“He asked me to find a map.” Liu Qian was scared out of his wits and answered whatever he was asked.
“Map? What Map?”
“That man said to find a map, but he didn’t say what map it was. Fairy, I’m just following orders. I don’t know anything else!” Liu Qian kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
