Chapter 100: Neck Biting, Mermaid Pearl!
This mermaid looks dreamlike and has quite a temper.
Gu Xixi quickly pushed Chen Yu again, pushing him into the supermarket, "Go inside and get a pot, knock it down and wake everyone up."
As the male merman watched Gu Xixi's movements and listened to her speak, a hint of doubt finally appeared in his deep, tranquil light blue eyes. He opened his mouth, slightly curving his lips, making him even more breathtakingly beautiful.
"You are actually unaffected by my illusions. Who are you, and why did you let me appear here?"
"Have humans become like savages these days? Their clothes are so ugly." The male merman complained again, each word like poison, enough to give anyone a heart attack.
"And your architecture is truly ugly, your skin is far inferior to ours, can you sing? You must sing terribly."
"You selfish humans are so lucky to have the chance to meet me, the Mermaid King."
Gu Xixi: ...
A talkative, sharp-tongued shark king?
After the others regained consciousness, they heard these words: ...
That's a bit harsh, isn't it? With such a strong dislike for humanity, how can any trade proceed smoothly?
Chu Feng immediately instructed everyone through the headset, "All security personnel, put on earplugs to prevent the merfolk from confusing us again."
Gu Xixi didn't even have a chance to interrupt. After waiting for him to finish cursing, she maintained a smile and introduced herself, "Your Majesty, you are the leader of the Merfolk, right? I am Gu Xixi, a merchant who has traveled through countless worlds. I want to do business with you. We will be united, friendly, harmonious and mutually supportive."
"Humans in our world haven't seen merfolk for tens of thousands of years. I have no intention of harming you; I simply want to exchange goods and resources and get what we need."
However, the Mermaid King reached out and stroked his crown, his eyes full of mockery. "Humans are adept at sweet talk, but forget about doing business with them. After I leave, remember to close this lousy passage. Merfolk will never associate with humans."
The Mermaid King turned to swim away, but Gu Xixi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Wait, don't you merfolk have any wicked or vicious ones? Every creature has good and bad, you can't generalize."
The Mermaid King turned his head, seemingly somewhat angry.
But Gu Xixi didn't back down at all, she just looked at him, the Mermaid King was stunned, what a bold human.
Gu Xixi reiterated her position: "We humans do have selfish and evil sides, harming other species for our own benefit, but there are also people who fight back and try to make amends. This shows that not all humans are off-limits."
"Does the world of merfolk really have nothing they need from the human world? Our world already has national policies to ensure biodiversity and harmonious coexistence with all things in nature. Please trust me this once."
Gu Xixi's eyes were earnest, revealing no falsehood, but the Mermaid Emperor still didn't believe her. He chuckled again, with a dangerous allure.
"It's not impossible for me to believe you. Come here and hug me, and I'll be able to tell if you're lying. Of course, you could also be killed by me, so do you dare to come?"
No one cared, because everyone believed that what Gu Xixi said was true.
Moreover, Gu Xixi has a protective mechanism, so even if the merman really wanted to hurt her, it would be impossible for him to do so.
Gu Xixi smiled calmly and walked over with her arms outstretched. "Then I need to tell you first that I will not be hurt by you, so your threats are actually useless to me. I am telling you this now to show my sincerity and that I am not deceiving you."
The Mermaid King was slightly taken aback. In that instant, Gu Xixi had already walked up to him, approached him, pressed herself against him, and embraced him.
The Mermaid King froze on the spot. Then he closed his eyes, gently pushed Gu Xixi away, and held Gu Xixi's hands in his own. Their clasped hands emitted a bright blue light.
Gu Xixi's life memories flashed through the Mermaid King's mind. He only saw his parents' kindness and love, his friends' willingness to help him, their unconditional trust, and his strength in times of loss... but not selfishness, evil, or deception.
He released Gu Xixi and admitted, "You are indeed a trustworthy human being."
Suddenly, as everyone relaxed, the Mermaid King abruptly pulled Gu Xixi close and bit her neck. Everyone knew Gu Xixi wouldn't be harmed, but seeing this horrifying scene, they all rushed forward to save her, only to remember the rules and stop themselves.
Everyone lowered their hands and awkwardly scratched their heads.
Gu Xixi was startled by his sudden action, but she wasn't really scared. The Mermaid King only made a biting motion on her neck, without even touching her skin.
"You are not afraid?"
"I'm not afraid at all, because I believe you are a good merman too."
What makes you believe that?
"Because only good people who can't change their kindness will be so persistent in caring whether others are good people; because only good people will still yearn for the same kindness and sincerity in others after being hurt. From the moment you agreed to the test, I knew that you are a good merman."
Gu Xixi was convinced that the Mermaid King was smiling again, this time with a warm and gentle smile.
In the past, everyone coveted the treasures of the mermaids: mermaid eyes, mermaid sand, mermaid pearls, mermaid ointment... They relentlessly lured and deceived them, and then turned around and said that the mermaids were wicked and heinous.
This was the first time in a hundred years that he had heard a human so sincerely say that the merman was a good merman and that he saw through his true nature. His eyes were filled with tenderness, which quickly froze, fell, rolled to the ground, and turned into a pearl that emitted a faint white-purple light.
Seeing that Gu Xixi remained unmoved even after seeing the mermaid pearl, merely staring at him and waiting for his answer, the Mermaid King lowered his eyes. "What do you want to exchange?"
Does the Shark King mean he's agreed to the deal?!
Everyone laughed; it was finally a success.
"What do you want? You're willing to exchange anything for it, as long as it's valuable, I'll take it." Gu Xixi smiled and took a few steps back, distancing herself from the Mermaid King.
Then I looked at my hands. I clearly felt they were smooth when I hugged them, but there was nothing on them.
The Mermaid King pondered for a moment, "Trading with humans has been a rare occurrence for many years. I will go back and listen to what the people of the sea need. I will come to you again tomorrow. Consider those mermaid pearls as my deposit."
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Gu Xixi extended her hand. "It'll be a pleasure working with you."
The Mermaid hesitated for a second, then extended his right hand and clasped it with Gu Xixi's. Soon, the azure mist receded like the tide, and the Mermaid disappeared from everyone's sight amidst the ancient chanting.
Professor Wei then came out of the supermarket, his eyes still filled with fascination. "Xixi, tomorrow, please introduce me to the Shark King. I really want to study him."
No one can resist the allure of paleontology.
Gu Xixi: If the Mermaid King heard this, he would want to slap you across the face.
