Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

Xia Jiumeng contacted Xiao Qi in her mind [Xiao Qi. ]

The busy Xiaoqi was a little surprised to hear his master calling him. He thought his master had forgotten about him because he was soaking fish.

[I am here, Master. What can I do for you?]

[Can you find out what the last few items in this auction are? ]

【I'll try....】

A few minutes later, Xiao Qi spoke again.

[Master, their firewall has a very high security factor, but I still managed to break through it. They currently have a total of five items.]

[Sea Cry (made from the gemstone of the legendary mermaid's tears, it is said that the wearer can gain the power to control schools of fish.) Hundred Scale Fan (made from the world's sharpest scales, it can easily cut through the defenses of wandering bodies below level A, and can eject hundreds of scales, comparable to the damage of a high-level core gun.)]

[Another item is Sea Spirit Yarn, which has already been sold, but you can find the product description here. It's made from shed mermaid skin. Typically, only mermaid couples shed their skin to create a unique garment for their loved one, and they only have one piece for their lifetime. The ones worn by male mermaids are made from their own skin scales, but the one sold seems to be from a male mermaid, as there's so little fabric available.]

Xia Jiumeng couldn't help but frown.

These things were all from Lemuria. They were so complete that they looked like they were practically selling a mermaid in pieces.

Soon her thoughts were confirmed, because when Xiao Qi saw that she didn't say anything, he continued to introduce her.

[The Phantom Sound Stone is said to contain the most beautiful mermaid song, transforming the wearer's voice into a nightingale's captivating and enchanting. Finally, the Heart of the Ocean, the most precious treasure of the Deep Sea Spirit, remains vibrant even after leaving the body. Consuming it can extend the wearer's lifespan by 20 years.]

Xia Jiumeng clenched her wrists. They were so hateful.

The mermaids of Lemuria are intelligent beings, not unintelligent dead creatures. How can they be treated like this?

This is a serious crime!

These things can almost be pieced together to form a complete mermaid!

If Qi Yu knew, how angry he would be. The tribesmen he cared about the most were cut into pieces and processed like fish and then put on the counter to be sold!

Xia Jiumeng couldn't imagine it.

She subconsciously looked at Qi Yu and saw that he was listening to the auctioneer's introduction with a calm expression. When she looked over, he even looked concerned as usual as if she was bored. However, his dark and cold eyes made her stunned for a moment.

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing that her face looked strange, Qi Yu subconsciously pulled her hand and put the back of his hand against her forehead.

Not hot.

"I, I'm fine, my stomach just hurts a little."

Xia Jiumeng found an excuse and went straight to the bathroom in the private room.

Qi Yu looked at the closed door of the toilet and stood there without moving.

Was it his appearance just now that scared her?

But he couldn't help it...

He already knew what the item would be, but the most important thing was the heart. He couldn't let his people's hearts fall into the hands of despicable and disgusting humans, so he held back and didn't bid anything, for he was afraid that he wouldn't have enough money.

Not enough to bring the hearts of his people back to his hometown.

In the toilet.

Xia Jiumeng randomly slapped her cheeks with cold water, trying to wake herself up.

Looking up at her wet face in the mirror, which looked a little disheveled, she breathed a sigh of relief.

[Master, are you okay? ]

Xia Jiumeng didn't say anything, but just put her hand on her heart. It hurt so much there, twitching, as if it was about to be crushed by an invisible big hand.

She felt pain because she felt sorry for Qi Yu, but what about him? Was he in more pain?

The blood-stained homeland, the deceased tribesmen, and the humiliation of watching them being dismantled, processed and sold like commodities. If it were her, she would probably go crazy.

She couldn't imagine how Qi Yu had survived all those years.

Her greatest disaster was when all her tribe members disappeared overnight, or when they ran to the Ningke Insect Territory to live like wild beasts in order to avoid becoming experimental subjects.

She used to be calm and composed, but now she seems to be easily out of control when she sees them here. Before this, she always thought that she could remain rational and do what she wanted to do when she came here.

Deal with all problems calmly.

But she seemed to have overestimated her own heart. She could not complete her plan indifferently. She would overdraw her mental strength without considering the consequences because of Qin Che's injury.

She would be so angry at Li Shen's indifference that she would force a kiss on him, which would destroy her character.

She would use her only Tianyun regardless of Shen Xinghui's trauma, and she would lose control of her emotions and couldn't help but use cold water to calm herself down because she knew what kind of cruel scene Qi Yu would face.

Xia Jiu wanted to help him, but didn't know how to start.

She could do nothing now. She had no money and no power. She couldn't buy it directly or snatch it away, but she didn't want Qi Yu to see such a cruel scene.

[Master...why not use the technology of Double Star 1 in exchange?]

Xiao Qi and Xia Jiumeng were in tune with each other and naturally sensed it, but it didn't think it was a bad thing.

Because such a master is truly like a human being, not a machine. The previous masters were too miserable, lonely and numb, which was not good.

【Double Star 1?】

Double Star 1 is the two small balls that Xia Jiumeng originally made in the apartment. One is a small energy weapon for defense and the other for area damage.

Originally she wanted to give the things to Qin Che, but now...
