Godslayer: My Girlfriend Red Tassel

"Ding--"

The clear sound of a harp rang out, and hundreds of mermaids began to sing in unison.

The singing unfolded layer by layer, rippling through the air like waves. From a gentle opening to a melodious middle section, it gradually rose to a crescendo, drawing crowds from all directions who closed their eyes, clasped their hands, and were completely captivated.

Although Lin Qiye couldn't understand the lyrics, it didn't stop him from thinking it sounded good.

It was so beautiful that he felt it was the most wonderful music he had ever heard in his life!

Lin Qiye looked up at the hundred or so Tide Songstresses, his eyes flashing with amazement. He thought to himself, "No wonder Number 22 was attracted by the mermaid's voice. It really is the most beautiful voice in the world... And it's also no wonder Number 22 was with a mermaid... Well, they are beautiful, and they are even more beautiful when they sing."

"Number 22 is really lucky with women!"

"What beautiful music! I feel like I'm getting pregnant! I'm about to get pregnant! I'm going to have a baby!!" A strong, burly man next to Lin Qiye frantically swung his black fishtail and suddenly shouted to the sky, his face contorted with excitement.

"Clap!"

The thick, hard, black fish tail accidentally lashed out at Lin Qiye, causing a burning pain.

"Crazy, is this a mermaid version of a fangirl...?" Lin Qiye rubbed his arm and glared at him, but he didn't find it too strange. Although he had never been a fangirl, he had heard how exaggerated some fans could be when they got fanatical.

They resorted to all sorts of extreme measures, including stalking, kidnapping, and stealing underwear.

Lin Qiye had even read a report about a male celebrity who was kidnapped and imprisoned in a basement by four female fans when he went out alone. Over five years, they had sex with him and had thirteen children. It was said that when he was found, he was so thin that he was almost unrecognizable.

"I'm sorry, friend. I didn't mean to. Did I hurt you?" The strong mermaid quickly apologized to Lin Qiye.

Lin Qiye waved his hand, indicating that it was alright.

"I was just too excited. This sound made my ears pregnant. I'm sure you feel the same way. Did you get pregnant today?"

Lin Qiye shook his head with a chuckle:

"It really sounds beautiful. I wish you and your son a safe journey, but I may not be able to conceive."

"Huh? You can't get pregnant? Why can't you get pregnant?" The big man was taken aback and asked in surprise.

"What exactly are you talking about?" Lin Qiye frowned, feeling somewhat confused, but before he could say anything, a scene suddenly appeared that made his heart tremble.

A soft, flexible tissue, like a writhing snake, emerged from the burly man's ear and grew longer and longer. Then, the walnut-sized growth at the tip of the tissue twitched violently a few times, struggling and stretching out its wrinkles to reveal a face with contorted features.

Two large, dark eyes, as big as melon seeds, stared at Lin Qiye, speaking softly, their voices filled with shock:

"Yes, why can't you get pregnant?"

Holy crap! What the hell is this thing?!

Lin Qiye suffered a sudden cardiac arrest and nearly died on the spot. He tried to push his way back in a daze, but the crowd around him kept him stuck in place, unable to move.

at the same time,

The mermaid choir on stage was entering its final act, and their singing suddenly became frenzied:

"The silver scales are fragments of moonlight."

"~~In the dark water, weave a tender dream."

"Coral is a cradle, seaweed is a swing."

"~~We sway gently with the waves~~~~~"

"~~Crackling and squeaking—"

At this point in the song, a strange collective silence suddenly erupted, like a broken old record stuck.

Lin Qiye looked around in a panic, questioning the meaning of life... and then became even more questioning about life!

The hundred or so songstresses all gaped open, spewing out countless twisted brown tentacles like eels thrashing in a boiling pot. Within these tentacles were pale blue crystals—their vocal cords!

He had seen similar specimens in the merman's laboratory, preserved in formalin. Human vocal cords are delicate white membranes, while those of mermen are clearly much tougher.

At this moment, all of these vocal cords were expelled and rubbed violently against the tentacles, producing a series of chilling "crackling" sounds, as if a thousand insects were chirping in unison.

Lin Qiye's gaze passed through the crowd and landed on the girl he had noticed earlier.

She was clearly a novice, and seemed a little reserved in the face of such a large stage, keeping her mouth tightly shut and remaining motionless, which caused a slight off-key sound during the final chorus. But the singers around her did not show any impatience, they just made their own "click-clack" sounds and occasionally cast encouraging glances at her.

"Tata, you can do it, keep going!" Aunt Melanie squeezed to the front of the crowd and cheered her on loudly.

Talia finally mustered her courage and, amidst the anticipation of everyone, gently opened her mouth.

"Kakaka-"

Her voice was exceptionally clear, its timbre sharper and more piercing than anyone else's. In an instant, all the dense and eerie sounds seemed to become her harmony, rippling outwards in invisible waves as she chanted.

"Ah! I'm pregnant! I'm pregnant too! Praise be to the tides!"

"Second child! I'm pregnant with my second child!" someone shouted excitedly as twisted fleshy growths emerged from both ears at the same time.

"Mine are twins! Hahaha!" Someone exclaimed with delight, having two fleshy growths on a single ear.

Lin Qiye was jostled and pushed around in the revelry crowd, looking around in panic. What was even more terrifying was that some people had fleshy growths protruding from their ears, as dense as roots, numbering in the hundreds and thousands, intertwining to form a huge canopy above their heads, flying everywhere!

And such a person's strength... is at least at the "Klein" level!

The more children you have, the stronger you become!

"Holy crap... did they have hundreds of babies? Even pigs can't reproduce that many times!" Lin Qiye swallowed hard, desperately trying to squeeze out, afraid of being noticed for his abnormality. In his panic, he bumped into someone.

"Oh dear! You little rascal, you've stepped on your auntie's tail!"

The plump Aunt Melanie, clutching the twins' fleshy growths, cried out in pain. She looked down at Lin Qiye, then suddenly paused, startled:

"Huh? Child, why aren't you pregnant?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the "tumor children" dancing wildly all around suddenly stopped.

All eyes turned to Lin Qiye.

"..."

Even the constant clicking noise abruptly stopped.

The hundred songstresses fell silent, their gazes icy as they stared coldly at him.

"..."

Lin Qiye was almost in tears; his eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and he wished he could slap himself twice right there and then.

Serves you right for being a jerk and joining in the fun! Now look what's happened, you can't get pregnant, how are you going to explain this?

His lips twitched, and after a long silence, he forced a smile that looked worse than a grimace, and cautiously said:

"Auntie...would you believe me if I said I'm infertile?"
