Hao Ren did not expect that he would be in Nasaton for a "holiday". He was only there to talk business with the Queen of the Sirens, but it happened to be the day when they had just completed the reconstruction of the city and were celebrating. But since he was here, he decided to stay for half a day, at least to let the cat, dog, and mermaid trio have a good time. This would save the three from being bored at home for too long, gnawing on the furniture and touching the electric door.
But he felt bad for letting the three scourges mess with the sirens...
Seeing that the dumb cat was causing trouble among the sirens, Hao Ren and Vivian hurried forward to clean up the mess. It took them a lot of effort to catch the surprisingly agile cat demon. Rollie did not know what was going on. After being grabbed by the collar by Hao Ren, she was still flailing around in the water, trying to bite the tail of the mermaid in front of her. "Food, food, don't run! Come here, food! Hey, Big Boss Cat, why are you grabbing me meow... "
Shaqira hugged her tail and curled up in the water. She was confused. "What's wrong with her..."
Hao Ren pressed the cat girl's head hard. His forehead was covered in cold sweat (although he was in the water, he still broke out in cold sweat). "Isn't she just a cat? Maybe she was starving and just happened to see your tail."
Shaqira shuddered. "But didn't she come here the last time? Why didn't this happen? "
Hao Ren twitched the corner of his mouth. "Last time, you were all in a state of insanity. She was timid and did not dare to bite."
Shaqira immediately turned into a mist and then into a coquettish sea snake. She touched her new tail with lingering fear. "This shouldn't arouse her appetite anymore, right?"
Rollie watched helplessly as the mermaid turned into a human snake. Her delicious tail was gone. She was devastated. "Food is gone..."
"Eat, eat, eat! All you know is to eat!" Hao Ren could not help but smack the dumb cat on the head. "You were as full as a ball when you went out. It's only been a few hours and you're so hungry that you can't tell the difference between a mermaid and a fish?"
Vivian understood the cat girl's state of mind. "You can't blame her. For a cat, the atmosphere of Nasaton is too delicious. Fortunately, most of the sirens are not in their mermaid form today. Otherwise, she would have gone crazy. "
Hao Ren looked around. While most of the sirens were in various forms, there were still some tired sirens who had returned to their mermaid form, which was most suitable for resting in the water. Rollie was in a place full of fish tails but could not even get a bite. It was quite pitiful. Shaqira could not help but sympathize with the cat girl. She forgot about the tail-biting incident and took Rollie's arm. "Come, I'll take you to eat sashimi!"
The cat girl was suddenly happy, but just as she was about to run away, she thought of something and looked at Hao Ren cautiously. Hao Ren could not help but smile and nodded. "Go, but don't bite again. Otherwise, I won't bring you here anymore."
With her master's permission, the cat girl immediately followed Shaqira happily. Vivian looked at them from afar. "There won't be any more problems, right?"
Hao Ren thought for a moment and shouted, "Shaqira! Remember, don't transform before she's full! "
"Ah! Landlord! Battie! Are you done with your business? " Just as Hao Ren was about to ask who had seen Lily, the husky girl's voice came from not far away. "What did the queen say? Did she agree? "
Hao Ren and Vivian looked back and saw Lily swimming towards them with her trademark doggy paddle. Her tail was like a propeller, and she was not slow at all. When she was in front of them, Hao Ren nodded. "No problem. The queen wants the ark fleet to use a ship in exchange for the rental rights. I've already agreed. I'll apply for a high-capacity storage space and we'll depart. The queen will follow us. By the way, did you see where Lil Pea went? "
Lily stretched her neck and looked around. "... I didn't see her. She's really fast in the water. I can't catch up. But with Wuyue watching her, I'm sure she won't get lost. By the way, there's nothing interesting in here. Landlord, let's go out and play? "
Lily was like a puppy looking forward to going out and playing. She ran circles around Hao Ren. When there was no pressure from work, she really showed her true colors. Hao Ren looked at the slightly crowded and noisy hall and felt that it was a little stuffy. He nodded. "Let's go out and get some fresh air."
The three of them left the hall. After greeting Sorma, who was on duty as a guard, they came out of the queen's palace and went to the square outside. The square was still as lively as before. Although the sirens of various shapes and sizes had obviously changed, the number of people had not decreased at all. It seemed that the enthusiastic celebration would last for a long time. They found a relatively quiet place. Lily ran to all kinds of nooks and crannies to look for treasures, while Hao Ren and Vivian leisurely enjoyed the unique cityscape of Nasaton.
Streamlined towers stood around the Royal District. The light green crystals inlaid on the towers shone brightly against the background of the deep sea. The city's huge shield above their heads separated the ocean and the water inside the ship. It was like a glowing sky that kept the entire city illuminated. Through the layer of light blue water shield, they could see some dark shadows crossing the sea from time to time. Some of them were strange creatures in the deep sea, and some were sirens patrolling the periphery of the city.
Looking at it all from below, it was as wonderful as being in the deep sea crystal palace.
"The last time I came here was because of a fight. The city center was bombed into ruins. It's totally different today." Vivian squinted her eyes. Her gaze gradually shifted from the towers to the square in front of her. "The atmosphere now is more suitable for them."
"How much contact did you have with the sirens in ancient times?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"Very little. They have been used to living in seclusion since ancient times." Vivian shook her head. "But I know that they are very curious about the outside world. Their observers often come out. Most of the legends about the sea monsters in ancient times and the superstitious' Siren Song 'of the sailors in the Middle Ages came from them. Ha... It was a messy era. But there are many interesting things in retrospect. The world back then was not as' precise and stable 'as it is now. Human society was built in a state of turbulence and balance. The Dark Ages... it was really the Dark Ages. "
"I often hear you talk about your past. To be honest, I'm quite interested," Hao Ren said with a smile. "If I were born a thousand or eight hundred years earlier and saw you in ancient times, what would it be like for us to meet?"
Vivian thought for a moment and said, "If you are lucky enough to survive in that era, remember to buy me something delicious. I felt like I was starving to death every day!"
The two chatted to kill time. After a while, Hao Ren looked up to look for Lily. He saw the husky maiden excitedly digging something in the sand not far away. After a while, she happily dug out a black metal column from the sand. It turned out to be a torpedo. Vivian could not help but laugh. "Katreina is quite interesting. This is the Queen's secret love, okay?"
By then, Lily had already dragged the torpedo out of the sand. She happily knocked on the torpedo's shell with her claws. "Katreina, Katreina! Found you! Hurry up and change your appearance! "
She knocked on the torpedo for a long time, but it did not budge. Instead, the siren queen's voice came from behind Hao Ren. "So you're here?"
The smile on Hao Ren's face suddenly froze. He turned to look at the siren queen behind him, and then shouted at Lily, "Dumbass, that torpedo is real!!!"
"Huh?" Lily was surprised.
The husky maiden was stunned for a moment before she reacted. Her tail suddenly exploded into a sword mound in the water. She roared and rushed towards Hao Ren. "Oh my god, there's a torpedo!"
Katreina quickly explained, "Don't panic, don't panic! It won't explode, it won't explode! The fuse has been removed! "
Hao Ren broke out in a cold sweat. "Say, what kind of custom is this? Why do you put everything in the city …"
"Didn't I tell you? These are the things the sirens collected over the years." Katreina said matter-of-factly. Then she blinked. "That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Are you interested in taking a look at the sirens' collection?"
