Chapter 1304: The Mermaid Princess (3)

She rather liked this tail.

Whenever she stepped onto land, it would automatically transform into a pair of long, slender, snow-white legs. The merfolk of this world were not like the mermaids from Western legends. Once their tails turned into legs, walking caused them no pain. Their legs were no different from those of humans.

The only issue was that they had to soak their legs in water regularly. Otherwise, if they became too dehydrated, their tails would reveal themselves again.

With her current rank and divine power, she could go about a week without needing water. As she matured and her divine power grew stronger, she would be able to endure even longer.

The King of the Merfolk, her royal father, could go an entire year without water.

As for mermaids like Fuya, with blue tails, they could only last one or two days before needing to replenish themselves with water.

“System, find me a few larger containers for storing water.”

Understood, Host. Right away.

The System promptly selected several spacious containers and filled them with seawater. The host was definitely going to visit the human world, so how could he neglect to prepare water? Merfolk were incredibly powerful under normal circumstances, but once deprived of water, they truly became fish on the chopping block, left completely at the mercy of others.

Although she had already decided not to save Qiao Chen, when the day of the thunderstorm arrived, she still went to that place.

Only this time, she remained hidden beneath the sea, quietly observing the surroundings.

System: I really don't understand.

He couldn't help wondering whether that person would transmigrate into this world as well. It would be nice if he did. Then he could accompany the host, and the two of them could live happily together in this world. She was too lonely.

After all, he was only a string of data. No matter what, he could never compare to a human.

Remembering that he hadn't informed the group chat members that they were safe, he relayed the details of this mermaid world in Tang Guo's usual tone. Unexpectedly, those enthusiastic friends immediately sent over quite a few useful gifts for the host.

He thought that if these people could somehow meet again in the future, it would be wonderful.

They should count as the host's good friends.

Their lifespans were all incredibly long, and most of them could continue existing indefinitely.

Even those from the interstellar worlds could live for thousands of years.

Rainstorms raged above the sea, and under such violent winds and waves, any small boat would inevitably be overturned.

It wasn't until late at night that Tang Guo finally spotted someone clinging to a piece of driftwood, washed onto the rock.

Looking at the pale-faced young man lying there, especially as the torrential rain continued to beat down on him, she found herself in an exceptionally good mood.

This fish murderer—

She absolutely wasn't going to save him.

And so she simply watched.

By midnight, the rain had finally stopped.

When the sun rose high into the sky the next morning, Tang Guo looked at the young man, whose face had turned bright red from fever after spending the entire night soaked in the rain. She let out a cold laugh, flicked her golden tail, and swam back to the depths of the sea.

The System glanced at the boy.

Mm, stranded in a place like this…

He'd probably die of fever.

Serves him right!

A fish murderer wasn't worth saving.

Serves him right. Better yet, may another wave sweep him away and drown him.

As far as the System was concerned, Qiao Chen was as good as dead.

Returning to her palace beneath the sea, Tang Guo took out the gifts her friends from the group chat had sent the day before.

Many were treasures useful underwater, along with numerous beautiful dresses, all especially suited for wearing while standing in the sea.

After hearing that she had become a mermaid this time, Ziyun had even specially refined medicinal pills for merfolk, allowing her to increase her divine power rapidly.

There were also various backup pills.

In short, everything was beneficial to mermaids.

“Having a few friends who think about you is pretty nice.”

“Yes,” the System agreed. “They're all wonderful people. Ziyun and the others are doing quite well in the Immortal Realm these days.”
