Feasibility of Mermaids Infiltrating Qilin

The child squatted in front of the chicken coop, staring intently at the little yellow chicks inside.

This is the first time since I've known the child that he has shown interest in something.

"You like chicks?" Su Xingze squatted down next to the child and turned his head to look at him.

The child's expression was calm, but his eyes were several shades brighter than usual. Without waiting for the child's answer, Su Xingze knew that he really liked these chicks.

Inside the bamboo cage, the bright yellow, round chicks, which could be held in one hand, opened their pink little beaks and chirped at the child.

It's like they're saying, "Buy me, buy me!"

Su Xingze smiled and pinched the child's cheek: "If you like them, you can buy a few to take home."

When he heard him say he wanted to buy it, the child's eyes lit up, but he quickly lowered his head in disappointment: "No need."

He stood up, pursed his lips, glanced at the chicks, and silently left.

Su Xingze couldn't stand the child's longing gaze as he looked at the chicks. The little Qilin was so cute, what was wrong with wanting to raise a few chicks as cute as him?

Buy it! You absolutely must buy it!

Zhang Shenglin walked out for a while before realizing that the little mermaid was gone. Just as he was about to turn back to look for it, a warm, furry little thing pressed against his cheek.

He looked down and met the little mermaid's emerald green eyes, like the morning mist in the forest. The little mermaid held a chick against his face, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

"I give the cutest little yellow chick to the cutest little unicorn."

The thing pressed against his cheek let out a soft chirp. Zhang Shenglin took the little yellow chick and hugged it. The soft feathers made his palms itch, or perhaps it wasn't just his palms that were itchy.

A tiny little Qilin, cradling a fluffy little yellow chick in its arms, is so adorable it's almost overwhelming even for the emotionlessly detached Weiwei.

Su Xingze called over his personal surveillance camera, which snapped dozens of photos before the child could even react.

Zhang Shenglin didn't notice his actions. He was holding the little yellow chick and was a little dazed. Besides the one he was holding, he saw that the little mermaid was also carrying a bamboo cage with five little yellow chicks chirping inside.

Seeing so many chicks, the child was clearly in a good mood, but the thought that the little mermaid had no money inexplicably flashed through the child's mind, reminding him of how his clansmen in the clan school instantly regarded the little mermaid as a familiar member of their clan.

"Where did the chicks come from?"

Su Xingze swung a small money bag in his hand, and the coins inside clinked together with a crisp sound.

"I traded it for a silver bracelet. The shopkeeper said the silver bracelet could buy a lot of chicks, and he gave me a lot of change."

He tossed the small money pouch up and down twice, hooking the bag's drawstring: "Look, little Qilin, I have money now too."

The child suddenly felt a pang of guilt. The mermaid had given him a chick, but he suspected that the mermaid had used magic to trick him.

Seeing the child's eyebrows suddenly droop and the light in his eyes dim, Su Xingze was at a loss.

A child's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Why did the child become sad after he bought the chick that the child liked?

Su Xingze tilted his head: "If you don't like these, then let's go back and choose again."

The child hugged the chick tightly, saying, "No, I like it very much."

If you like it, why do you look so dejected? Su Xingze didn't understand, but since it wasn't the chicks' fault, there was no need to go back and keep picking.

After all, the six chicks in their hands were the strongest among the chicks the stall owner sold; the rest couldn't compare to the chicks he had carefully selected.

They had explored almost the entire market. Su Xingze wanted to see the old-fashioned street magic performance again. Just as he was about to take the child away, he saw a familiar person.

"Little Qilin, isn't that your classmate?"

The child, holding a chick, looked up and saw Zhang Shengchun, with whom he had recently become inexplicably friendly, squatting at the dog-selling stall.

"Oh, right!" Su Xingze clenched his right fist and tapped it against his left palm. "I was just about to say that the puppy seems to have some problems."

Seeing Zhang Shengchun holding the puppy's front paws and examining it from left to right, he suddenly remembered that when he passed by the puppy stall before, he noticed that the puppy Lingbo looked a little off.

"What happened to the puppy?"

The child stared at the puppy in Zhang Shengchun's hand; apart from looking lazy, it seemed to have no problems.

But after staring at it for a while, the child also felt that the puppy gave him a strange feeling; he felt that the puppy didn't seem like a puppy at all.

The two agreed that the puppy was no ordinary dog. They moved closer to Zhang Shengchun, and the child carefully examined the small yellow mongrel with its eyes half-open.

"Zhang Shengchun, do you want to buy a dog?" Su Xingze patted Zhang Shengchun on the shoulder, startling Zhang Shengchun, who was carefully examining the puppy and almost threw it away in retaliation.

Turning around and seeing the two of them, Zhang Shengchun said with some resentment, "Can't you two have a little bit of kinship? You almost scared me to death."

The child was unusually straightforward in response to his exaggerated remarks: "The Zhang family members aren't that easily scared to death."

Zhang Shengchun was defeated by him.

"You want to buy this dog?"

Once he got closer, Su Xingze confirmed that the puppy did indeed have a problem.

Seeing Zhang Shengchun seemingly quite interested in the dog, Su Xingze smirked, thinking that Zhang Shengchun might not be able to buy the puppy he wanted.

"Sir, I've already told you, this puppy looks sick and it won't live more than a few days if I sell it to you. I won't cheat you, sir, you can give this dog back to me and I'll get you a healthy one."

The shopkeeper, with a pained expression, tried to persuade him, as if he was genuinely afraid that Zhang Shengchun would buy the sick dog.

Zhang Shengchun looked at the other dogs on the stall, then at the small dog in his hand that looked rather listless, and hesitated for a moment.

"I feel a sense of familiarity with this dog, and I still want to buy it."

"Oh dear, sir, why won't you listen..."

Amidst the vendor's persuasive voice in the background, Su Xingze bent down and poked the puppy's bulging belly.

"This dog does look a bit listless, huh?"

His surprised voice attracted the attention of the two children. Thinking that the puppy was uncomfortable and had scratched him, the children worriedly grabbed his hand to check it. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that there were no scratches on his slender white fingers.

"what happened?"

Su Xingze pointed at the puppy in Zhang Shengchun's arms with a look of surprise, "This puppy looks like a person!"

As he finished speaking, half of the puppy's furry skin slid off its body and piled up in Zhang Shengchun's hand, revealing the child wrapped in the dog skin.

Looking at the child in his arms, who was at most three years old, Zhang Shengchun's face turned grim.

"This is a child from my Zhang family!"

He recognized the child at a glance; strictly speaking, the child should call him his cousin.

Zhang Shengchun's little nephew was unaware of what had happened, staring blankly with his big eyes, his little face full of confusion.

The Zhang family market was always bustling. Of the ten people who visited the market, seven or eight had connections with the Zhang family. As soon as Zhang Shengchun spoke, all the members of the Zhang family immediately looked over.

These members of the Zhang family were well-informed and, upon seeing the dog skin draped over the child, they immediately recognized it as a type of animal skin, and their gazes toward the stall owner turned cold.

When the stall owner realized he had been exposed, he abandoned his stall and fled. It was no wonder the Zhang family would let him off the hook for doing something like this on their turf. Immediately, more than a dozen people gave chase.
