The sickly boss always wants to get close to her

"You want to become a human, right? What a coincidence! If it were any later, I would have moved."

"move place?"

Qu Shang's puzzled gaze fell on the crystal ball held by the witch.

The crystal ball was crystal clear, reflecting the witch's young and beautiful face.

The witch nodded and swam towards the seat made of coral inside the house.

The long black hair floated with it, like waves.

The ribbons hanging on the coral gently brushed against her body, mysterious and dreamy.

"Of course," the witch sat down on the seat, looking tired, and she leaned on the coral armrest, "because of you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have moved."

"Although we have always lived alone, we cannot be completely independent. If there were no merman tribes around us, life would be inconvenient."

Qu Shang pursed his lips, his long eyelashes covering his blue eyes, "Since you know everything, can you help me?"

"Of course my child, of course I can help you."

The witch was unexpectedly easy to talk to. "I can make you a potion. Take it with you and rush to land before the sun comes out."

"You sit on the beach and drink the medicine, and your tail will split into two pieces and become human legs. But the side effect is that the process is very, very painful."

"It's like a sharp knife is inserted into your body and splits you in two."

"You can walk on land with human legs like you swim in the sea with a fish's tail, but because these are not your legs, every step you take will be like walking on sharp knives."

"It hurts so much that you might even feel like there's a real knife stabbed into your lower body, with your blood slowly flowing on the road you're walking on."

"If you can bear with it, we can continue to discuss it in detail."

Qu Shang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "I can bear it."

The witch chuckled.

"Well, besides that, once you become a human, you can never turn back into a merman. If you fall into the water, you will drown in the ocean just like a human."

"Because the decoction requires your thoughts and love for humans, a curse will be born accordingly."

"If the person you love marries someone else, on the morning before their wedding, your heart will be broken and you will turn into sea foam."

"How is it?" The witch held her chin and flicked her tail, "Are you able to accept it?"

If the little female is with other human males, is that any different from him being dead?

Qu Shang's face turned pale and he said, "I accept."

The witch's smile grew wider and wider. "Very good, my child. As a reward for my help, you must give me your voice and blood."

Qu Shang's lips trembled, "Voice? What do you want to do with my voice?"

The witch muttered, "Who knows?"

"It's customary to charge you anyway, good boy, if you're willing to help me catch Qu Youyou, I'll give you two additional packages as a gift."

"One is to let you understand human language, and the other is to point you in the direction of the human you miss. This way, even if you go to the human world, you won't be alone and helpless."

Qu Shang pursed his lips and said, "Besides catching Qu Youyou, are there any other conditions that can be exchanged for these two packages?"

The witch looked him up and down in embarrassment and said, "If you are willing to exchange the ordinary blood you gave me for your own blood, I can also give you these two packages as a gift."

Qu Shang lowered his eyebrows, "I'll give you my heart's blood."

The witch was somewhat puzzled. "Qu Youyou is from my lineage, the next witch. I won't harm her. You just need to bring her here. Why would you bleed so much?"

Qu Shang remained silent.

Although he hated Qu Youyou, it was Qu Youyou who helped him when he was helpless and in despair.

For whatever purpose.

Since she was unwilling to return to the witch, why should he repay her with evil?

The witch said nothing more. She used a tool to pierce Qu Shang's chest and took a little blood. She then applied a black medicine of unknown origin to the wound.

Qu Shang was gasping for breath and his body was twitching uncontrollably.

After the witch boiled the potion, she cut off his tongue and handed him a bottle of green potion and a compass.

"Take it, child. Drink the medicine before the sun rises. The direction the compass needle points to is the direction of the person you miss."

Qu Shang endured the pain and swam out of the cave. Qu Youyou was hiding not far away and was a little surprised when she saw Qu Shang's pale and painful appearance.

"What did the witch do to you? How did you become like this?"

Qu Shang waved his hand while holding the potion.

Qu Youyou immediately shifted her attention and said happily, "You got it? That's great!"

"After you become a human, can you bring me food? This is my only request. If you are not dead, just leave it on that lonely island."

Qu Shang really wondered why Qu Youyou had such a strong obsession with human food, but he couldn't ask now.

And Qu Youyou also noticed that Qu Shang couldn't speak, she frowned, "Did the witch take your tongue away? Why? She's so weird."

The behavior of a witch is unpredictable.

"Then I'll just do my best to see you off. You look very weak. It would be dangerous if you run into a shark or something in the sea."

Qu Shang nodded with a painful look on his face.

Qu Youyou swam happily around him, with her beautiful, innocent face and agile body, like an elf under the sea.

"That's great that you can become a human. If you have the chance in the future, tell me about the delicacies in the human world!"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered that Qu Shang couldn't speak, so she awkwardly changed the subject, "You can ask your partner to tell me."

After saying that, he suddenly remembered that Qu Shang had to become a human because he lost contact with his partner.

So she finally shut up.

Swimming to another place, Qu Shang saw his other two friends.

The blond male mermaid came out with a set of human male clothes, "We'll go find other mermaids to exchange them with, and when the time comes - put them on, humans always have to wear clothes."

Qu Youyou had obviously told them everything.

Qu Shang took the clothes uncomfortably.

After swimming for about five hours, they finally reached the vicinity of the human city.

In the early morning, everything around is pitch black, only the human city is brightly lit, as bright as day.

“We’ll take you here,” the male mermaid said.

Qu Youyou tilted her head and looked at the human world in the distance that was full of unknowns and mysteries. Although there was surprise in her eyes, she did not look at it with longing.

"The rest of the way is up to you to explore."

"Goodbye, Qu Shang."

"Live well."

The mermaids escorted him away.

Qu Shang swam to a huge rock under the cover of night, lay down on the beach, and took out the medicine prepared by the witch.

He removed the cork from the bottle and swallowed the strange green liquid down his throat.

As soon as the liquid entered the throat, the body warmed up as if drinking hot soup, and the crotch area of ​​the lower body felt severely burning.
