Chapter 279 Who am I? The New Princess!
Qi Wei raised his head with difficulty and asked, "What did you say?"
Lu Yuguan subconsciously wanted to reach out to help him, but found that his entire arm was covered with dark blue scales.
"Qi Wei...I feel something is wrong——"
Before he finished speaking, a string of bubbles suddenly emerged from Lu Yuguan's throat, and his vocal cords emitted the ethereal vibrato unique to mermaids.
Qi Wei stood up with difficulty and was about to pull Lu Yuguan upstream when his pupils suddenly shrank.
The boy's legs were combined into a dazzling ice-blue fish tail.
The tail fin is as clear as glass, reflecting a charming halo in the deep sea.
"How did you become a mermaid?!"
Qi Wei was shocked.
Lu Yuguan wanted to cry but had no tears: "I...I don't know either!"
"Could it be because of the mermaid pearl..." Qi Wei frowned and said, "Why don't you try throwing it away?"
Lu Yuguan followed his advice and let go, but unexpectedly, the mermaid pearl seemed to be stuck to the palm of his hand and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.
"You throw it away."
"I lost it!"
"Then why didn't it fall off?"
Lu Yuguan: "Maybe it loves me too much."
Qi Wei: “…”
He took a few steps forward and tried to reach out and pull the mermaid pearl off, but as soon as he exerted force, Lu Yuguan screamed in pain.
"Qi Wei, this bead is embedded in my palm!"
Lu Yuguan said aggrievedly.
"Bear with it. Do you want to stay like this forever?"
Qi Wei shouted.
"Hiss... Actually it's not bad," Lu Yuguan shook his tail, "It's just a little embarrassing to be naked."
Qi Wei: “…”
Before Lu Yuguan could finish his complaints, he heard the sound of rushing water and countless bubbles coming from afar.
"That's... the mermaids?!"
Qi Wei said in horror.
Lu Yuguan was confused. "Could it be that they discovered I took the mermaid pearl?—Eh, eh eh?"
Before he finished speaking, his tail started to move on its own and headed towards the mermaids.
Qi Wei stared wide-eyed as Lu Yuguan left with a click.
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know either!" Lu Yuguan shouted anxiously, "I can't seem to control my legs..."
"Ah, it's the tail."
The dense bubbles were getting closer and closer, and almost instantly jumped to the two of them.
The bubbles slowly dissipated, revealing several mermaids.
The old merman in the lead held a bone staff and with just a slight wave, he brought Lu Yuguan to his side.
"Fuck!"
"Who are you?!"
Lu Yuguan said in shock.
[Ding! Host swearing detected]
[Deduct one point of civilization value]
The old mermaid smiled calmly and said, "I didn't expect that the Golden Harp would choose a human as her queen... It was really unpredictable."
Lu Yuguan scratched his ears and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Qi Wei held up his body. Although his body was soaked with blood from behind, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.
"Bold mermaid, let him go!"
Qi Wei swung the bone bell, and several water blades were instantly released.
For a moment, the sand and rocks on the seabed surged like a dragon.
The old mermaid said in a low voice, "Boy, you are only at the Golden Core stage, how dare you snatch someone from me?"
After saying that, the two or three mermaids behind him easily blocked the water blade with their fish tails.
"hateful……"
Qi Wei gritted his teeth.
If he were on shore, he would have a hundred ways to deal with the mermaids.
But now he was seriously injured, his spiritual power was depleted too much, and he was almost running out of oxygen, so he couldn't use any powerful moves at all.
The old mermaid seemed to see Qi Wei's difficulty and said, "Boy, this is our mermaid clan's business. I advise you to leave as soon as possible."
Qi Wei refused to give up and continued to gather his remaining spiritual power: "Don't even think about taking him away—"
Suddenly, the chanting of the mermaids rang out from all directions, and countless blue figures emerged from the coral shadows.
The old mermaid held a bone staff in her hand, her cloudy eyes fixed on Lu Yuguan's fish tail.
"The harp recognizes its master, its identity confirmed... take it away!"
Qi Wei's mist spiritual power had not yet condensed when it was crushed by the secret method of the mermaid tribe.
He watched helplessly as Lu Yuguan was sucked into the deep sea whirlpool, and the last ray of light from the ice-blue fish tail was swallowed by the darkness.
……
苍海
Mermaid Temple.
Lu Yuguan curled up in the huge shell bed, his fish tail twitching uncontrollably.
He trembled as he touched the dragon pattern on the back of his neck, only to find that the scales had spread to his collarbone.
"Tong-chan, I'm so angry!"
Lu Yuguan was in tears.
[Host, please calm down for a moment. You've been yelling for almost two hours.]
The system was speechless.
Lu Yuguan looked hopeless and said, "You're talking without any pain in your back."
I have no waist
Lu Yuguan: “…”
Ha ha.
So cold.
Ever since he was brought back by the old merman, he has been placed in this palace.
To be honest, the place where the mermaids live is somewhat similar to Atlantis.
Besides him, the only people left in the palace were two merman soldiers guarding the door.
As soon as Lu Yuguan swam to the door, he was stopped by the two of them.
"Brother, I just want to go out and get some fresh air."
Lu Yuguan pleaded.
"Your Excellency Princess," the merman soldier said politely, "I'm sorry, but without the High Priest's order, we can't let you out."
Lu Yuguan rolled his eyes.
He lay on the shell bed for half a day. Apart from a few big delivery turtles swimming by the door, there was nothing else interesting.
Lu Yuguan was bored and was circling around the palace, trying to get used to his fish tail.
"Wow, this light is so bright!"
"Hiss... Night Pearl..."
"The transparent little table is..."
"Liuli..."
"The food on this plate can't possibly be—"
"I wipe?"
"Using pearl powder as breadcrumbs?!"
……
Only after he had walked around the entire palace did he lie down on the bed again and think about life.
【Shouldn't we be thinking about sashimi? 】
The system said.
"Sashimi?" Lu Yuguan smacked his lips. "If it's sashimi, it's delicious."
【…】
"Instead of waiting to die here, I'd rather let the old man Gendio take over my teahouse."
【…】
Lu Yuguan rubbed the mermaid pearl in his palm and tried to put it into the system backpack.
"what?"
“It can actually be put in?”
The moment the mermaid pearl disappeared, the gap in his palm also disappeared without a trace.
Lu Yuguan opened the backpack panel, and just as his fingertips moved to the location of the mermaid pearl, his expression suddenly froze.
【Props丨Millennium Shard Pearl】
[Introduction: A bead containing the powerful soul power of the mermaids, capable of changing size at will, nourishing the wearer's mind and increasing their spiritual strength]

Lu Yuguan: ...
"Tong-chan."
[Here]
“Is this note correct?”
[People with yellow hearts see everything as yellow]
"No... then what do you mean by this thing?"
【for example……】
【Can be hung on the ceiling】
Make a shining light ball
"..."
People really smile when they are helpless.
Another half day passed, and the soldiers at the gate changed their posts three times, but Lu Yuguan was still confined to the palace.
He was so bored that he started counting sheep.
"A lamb kebab..."
"Two slices of hot pot mutton..."
"..."
“…I can’t eat anymore.”
At this moment, the voice of the old mermaid suddenly came from outside the door——
"The blood pool is ready, Princess, you may prepare to bathe."
