Transmigrated into a book? A vicious female supporting character? A senior sister? Tsk tsk!

The Mermaid King quickly chimed in:

"That's right. Your father thinks you're reliable, which is why he chose to tell you the truth. Don't take advantage of your master's presence to go and teach that纨绔 (wán kù, a spoiled brat) a lesson."

Although the Mermaid King didn't particularly like the Second Prince, he was still his own son. With your Third Sister making a move, people were already suspicious.

It was just a minor skirmish, nothing serious, so they turned a blind eye. But if you were to attack again, the Mermaid King would definitely be unhappy.

Although the overall strength of the merfolk is inferior to ours, they are inherently brutal and bloodthirsty. Currently, the various races in the sea are relatively peaceful, so it's best to avoid provoking conflict.

Looking at his parents' worried faces, Ji Zeyang was both amused and exasperated, and said with a helpless smile:

"Everyone says they trust me, but they're also afraid I'll do something unreliable. So, am I reliable or unreliable?"

The Queen smiled kindly:

“My son is of course reliable. I’m just worried that you might act impulsively in a fit of anger. Besides, your fellow disciples are all here, so don’t drag them into this.”

The Mermaid King also laughed heartily:

"Your mother and I are naturally at ease. By the way, your eldest brother knows about this, but your second brother doesn't know the details. Your second brother has an impatient nature, so don't let it slip."

Ji Zeyang nodded and said seriously:

"Father, Mother, rest assured, your son knows what he's doing and won't act recklessly. Since Third Sister has taught him a lesson that will last a century, there's no need for him to do anything more for the next hundred years."

However, this second prince is a womanizer and must be very... well, but now we can't... The son is worried that he will retaliate because of this.

Or perhaps it would be safer to bring Third Sister back?

The Mermaid King shook his head slightly:

"There's no need for now. The Mermaid King is keeping a close watch on things, so the Second Prince won't dare to do anything. We'll wait until the Mermaid King stops interfering."

Ji Zeyang thought it made sense. Seeing that the conversation had nearly ended, the Queen took out a pearl and handed it to Ji Zeyang.

"Yang'er, there are many people at the banquet, and your mother cannot show favoritism. Your mother has seen that you have made great progress, so you should thank her properly. Relationships should be reciprocated to last."

Ji Zeyang accepted the pearl and said gratefully:

"Thank you for your concern, Mother. Your consideration is very thoughtful. However, there is no favoritism. We brothers are all of the same mind."

The Queen smiled with satisfaction, and the three chatted about some everyday matters. Seeing that it was getting late, the Queen reminded them:

"Alright, Yang'er, go back and rest early. Although your master is here, you still need to be careful in everything. If you need anything, you don't need to be polite to your father and mother."

Ji Zeyang bowed:

"Yes, I'll take my leave now."

********

The next morning, Ji Zeyang personally picked up Xiao Yimo and then sent maids to invite Tang Xinyan and the other three, taking them to try the mermaid tribe's special breakfast.

After bidding farewell to the Mermaid King and Queen, and preparing to depart for the islands in the sea, Ji Zeyang took out the diving beads again, and Ji Zeli, who was standing nearby, quickly suggested:

"Fourth brother, it's a rare opportunity for Yan Yan and the others to visit the mermaid clan. Why don't you let them experience what it's like to swim like mermaids?"

Ji Zeyan and Ji Zeli had a very good impression of Tang Xinyan. After chatting with her, they grew to like this little sister even more, and naturally, they talked more.

They all noticed that Tang Xinyan was particularly interested whenever mermaids and fish tails were mentioned, and even jokingly said she wanted to experience it herself.

However, neither of them mentioned it yesterday, so I thought I'd surprise them with their outing today, and sure enough...

"Can it turn into a mermaid?"

Tang Xinyan immediately exclaimed excitedly, putting aside the fact that she felt a sense of wonder when she saw those dressed-up mermaids in the aquarium in her previous life.

What's more, she saw a real mermaid yesterday. To be honest, her tail was so beautiful that she wanted to touch it to see if it felt cool and smooth.

Now she can become a real mermaid and grow a fish tail! I'm so excited! I wonder what color her tail will be?

Ji Zeyang was a mermaid himself, so he didn't really feel anything about becoming one. He was even puzzled by his second brother's suggestion.

Seeing Tang Xinyan's bright, expectant eyes, he couldn't help but smile:

"Although the sea race rarely interacts with the human race, as royalty, it is necessary to understand some of the outside world's situation. The more times one goes out, the more likely one is to meet a few like-minded friends."

Therefore, those members of the royal family with alchemy talent developed a elixir that could temporarily transform humans into merfolk.

Ji Zeyang took out a porcelain bottle, poured out two pills, and handed one to Tang Xinyan and the other to Gu Moxu. He knew that if Tang Xinyan wanted to play, Gu Moxu would definitely join in without a doubt.

Then, he looked at Yun Xingnan and Lu Chuan'an with some uncertainty. The two of them did not hesitate and directly extended their hands.

As for Xiao Yimo, Ji Zeyang didn't even consider it. After all, at Xiao Yimo's level, even without protection, he could still move around normally underwater.

However, to Ji Zeyang's surprise, Xiao Yimo also asked for one, expressing his desire to try it out as well. This greatly astonished Tang Xinyan.

So much so that without thinking, he blurted out:

"No way? Master, you've actually started to show childlike innocence now?!"

Xiao Yimo gave Tang Xinyan a disgruntled look:

"Yan Yan, why do I hear disdain in your words? Could it be that you also think I'm too old and shouldn't have childlike fun anymore?"

Tang Xinyan: "........"

With her survival instincts kicking in, Tang Xinyan quickly and seriously explained:

"Of course not. I just felt that Master is always mature and steady, like a mountain, calm and domineering. So I thought that Master doesn't like such childish activities."

Xiao Yimo was just teasing her, and he smiled with satisfaction at her "explanation." Tang Xinyan breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone else couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

At this moment, the Queen stepped forward with a smile and reminded her:

“If you were to take human form, these clothes wouldn’t be suitable. Yang’er, take your master and the others to change. I’ll take Yan Yan to change.”

Tang Xinyan took the Queen's arm and obediently followed her. On the way, Tang Xinyan mentioned to the Queen her encounter with the mermaid the day before.

The queen smiled and explained:

"The clothes I'm talking about are also unique to the merfolk. First of all, these clothes are waterproof; they won't get wet even if you go into the sea."

Secondly, and most importantly, this clothing can adjust its shape according to the body's condition. If you are in mermaid form, the clothing will only reveal your upper body.

If the legs are represented, the skirt will automatically appear; for men, it will be trousers.

Tang Xinyan suddenly realized and exclaimed in admiration:

"This is indeed much more convenient, but I originally thought that when the legs were being transformed, the clothes would automatically appear."
