Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 60 Invitation

Walk out of the magnificent gate of the Hunter Alliance.

Qin Xiaonan suddenly stopped and turned to the little mermaid beside him and said, "Lan Xi, let's go buy you a cell phone. Since you want to live as a human, this kind of thing is indispensable."

Lan Xi was slightly stunned, and a hint of confusion flashed in her sea-blue eyes.

She didn't understand why Qin Xiaonan suddenly trusted her so much—not only did he take her out into public places, but he even wanted to equip her with communication tools. Wasn't he afraid that she would escape?
What she didn't know was that when she asked Qin Xiaonan for the mermaid materials, Qin Xiaonan had already learned everything about the mermaid's transformation through Azir.

After the Red Sea Overlord was abandoned by the Indian Ocean Sirens, he saw the game between the two emperors and had no other thoughts in his mind but to seek death.

However, Azir did not kill it, but locked it up temporarily.

Tsar Azir's goal is not just on land. He also has his eyes on the vast ocean, which will also be his journey in the future.

However, he knew little about the layout of the ocean. He didn't know exactly how many emperors there were or who were the rulers of the four oceans. But the coral dragon, the overlord of the Red Sea, must know something.

However, it is definitely not that easy to make it speak, and Azir is not in a hurry.

So he found an opportunity and asked the other party some other questions first.

It's about the mermaid. Although the overlord of the Red Sea knows that he has been abandoned by the master of the Indian Ocean, he will not betray the ocean.

However, he was still very impressed by Tsar Azir's strength. When he saw the other party asked him some other things, he told them.

Because the secret of mermaid transformation can't be said to be a secret at all, many sirens in the ocean know it.

——The transformed mermaid cannot return to the ocean and is the public enemy of all sea monsters;

——She must rely on the powerful Siren Breath to maintain her strength, otherwise she will gradually lose her value;
After learning this, Qin Xiaonan was basically relieved about Lan Xi, because it was most appropriate for her to stay by his side. As long as she was not stupid, she would not do anything out of line. Besides, she still had the mark of the sun disk in her body.

And now she is a real human being, so there is no risk of Qingning and Shayinxie being discovered.

On the bustling streets of Shanghai, Qin Xiaonan took Lan Xi to the electronics mall.

"What color do you like?" Qin Xiaonan asked while standing in front of the mobile phone counter.

Lan Xi looked at the various models displayed in the glass showcase. These crystallizations of human technology were both unfamiliar and novel to her. When she was in the deep sea, she never thought that she would need such tools one day.

"This one." Her fingertips tapped lightly on the counter glass, landing on a phone with a gradient deep ocean blue. A complex smile played at the corner of her mouth, like a nostalgic farewell: "Like the color of the sea."

Qin Xiaonan glanced at her thoughtfully without saying anything. He quickly paid the bill and used his ID to apply for a mobile phone card for her.

As night falls, the lights of thousands of homes in the Magic City gradually light up.

Lan Xi sat barefoot in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the apartment, with her newly bought mobile phone on her lap, the screen still stuck on the initial settings interface.

Outside the window, the neon lights of this city that never sleeps flickered like luminous jellyfish on the seabed. She gazed at the endless stream of cars below her feet, and for a moment she felt as if she were observing schools of migrating fish in the ocean currents.

Everything that happened today flashed back in my mind like a revolving lantern - the bustling hall of the Hunter Union, the human girl I met on the street, and the mobile phone that symbolized my new identity.
The homesickness that once kept her awake at night had now faded a lot.

Perhaps, as Qin Xiaonan said, transformation is not the end, but another beginning.

She once thought losing her fishtail was the greatest pain, but now she understands that the real difficulty is accepting the new self.

Outside the window, a bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Lan Xi hummed the ancient ballad softly. This time, the song no longer contained the sorrow of the deep sea, but instead contained a bit more anticipation for the future.
-
The early morning sunlight filtered through the gauze curtains into the living room. Lan Xi pushed the door open carrying breakfast, her hair still damp with the morning dew.

"Hurry up and eat, then run something for me." Qin Xiaonan said without looking up, his fingers swiping quickly on his tablet, browsing the profiles of the major families in the Magic City. "Yeah," Lan Xi nodded obediently, placing the soy milk and dumplings on the table without asking any further questions.

"Do you remember the two people whose numbers I left yesterday?" Qin Xiaonan picked up a steamed dumpling and said, "I'll ask them out today to discuss something."

"it is good."

Lan Xi put down her chopsticks and took out her new deep-sea blue phone. Her slender fingers slid across the screen with a slightly awkward touch, finally finding the number she had saved yesterday.

“Beep—beep—”

When the call was connected, Ai Tutu's dazed voice came from the other end: "Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, I'm Lan Xi."

"Who is Lan Xi? Ah!" There was a sudden rustling sound from the other end of the phone, as if someone suddenly jumped up from the bed. "You are the young lady who sang so beautifully yesterday!"

"It's me. I want to invite you out to play today. Remember to ask Miss Mu to come along."

"Okay, okay!" Ai Tutu's voice suddenly cleared up. "Where are we going? Take me with you to sing."

After hanging up the phone, Lan Xi looked at Qin Xiaonan: "It's an appointment."

Qin Xiaonan nodded with satisfaction.

He actually wanted to get in touch with the Mu family through Mu Nujiao, but he knew that if he asked Mu Nujiao out directly, she would most likely not show up, so he could only ask Ai Tutu to help, because she would definitely bring Mu Nujiao with her when she went out.

After hanging up the phone, Ai Tutu went to call Mu Nujiao, "Lan Xi asked us to go out and play! It's the girl who sang so beautifully yesterday!"

"I won't go. I'll practice."

"Oh, there's no time when we can't practice!"

"Didn't you say yesterday that her singing voice was special? Maybe it's some kind of sonic magic!"

Mu Nujiao still couldn't persuade Ai Tutu, she knew Ai Tutu too well - once this girl became interested in something, she would cling to it like taffy.

The four of them then met at a KTV.

In the box, colorful lights were reflected on the faces of the four people. As soon as Ai Tutu saw Lan Xi, she enthusiastically pulled her to sing. The two girls gathered in the front, talking and laughing.

Qin Xiaonan walked calmly to Mu Nujiao and sat down.

"Actually," he said straight to the point, "I asked Lan Xi to ask you out."

Mu Nujiao frowned slightly, she knew that this meeting was not that simple.

"I want to make a deal with you." Qin Xiaonan's voice was soft but extremely clear.

Under Mu Nujiao's vigilant gaze, he took out a velvet package.

As the cloth unfolded, a piece of scale armor with a faint blue glow was revealed - the surface of the scales had naturally formed mysterious patterns, reflecting the unique luster of the deep sea under the light.

"Is this the scale of a monarch-class siren?"

Mu Nujiao's pupils suddenly contracted. As the eldest daughter of the Mu family, she recognized the value of this scale at a glance. It was a treasure that could only be obtained by killing the overlord of the deep sea. It was the core material for making top-level magic tools.

(This is a transition chapter, a little dull. The author will speed up the pace appropriately, and the next climax will come soon.)
