Chapter 1310: The Mermaid Princess (9)
“If Qiao Chen really ends up killing Fuya, that would truly be a joke.”
At that moment, Tang Guo had already arrived in the human world with the attendants assigned to her by the King of the Merfolk.
With the immense wealth of the merfolk, living comfortably in the human world was effortless.
The Sea King himself owned many assets in the human world.
The moment he heard that Tang Guo wanted to visit, he arranged everything and sent her over the very next day.
Currently, she was living in a villa registered under the Sea King's name, while her attendants had gone to handle the enrollment procedures.
Within a day or two, she would be able to start school.
Seated in front of a mirror, Tang Guo looked at her reflection. Her original golden hair had already turned black. As long as she maintained her divine power, she could preserve the black color.
If her divine power weakened because of dehydration, however, her hair might revert to its original golden hue.
After all, she was about to attend high school. With her Eastern features and naturally golden hair, no one would believe the color was natural.
She would probably be dragged to a salon by a teacher on the first day and forced to dye it back.
Even Fuya's blue hair had been altered to black with divine power so that she could enroll successfully.
Among the merfolk was a book titled The Human World Survival Manual, a compulsory subject for all merfolk. Every member knew what to do and what not to do when living among humans.
System said, “Host, your father really keeps up with the times. No wonder there are so many merfolk in this world. They don't look like a race facing extinction at all. Instead of suppressing their curiosity and worrying about them getting hurt, he simply teaches them how to understand humans and adapt to their lives.”
“He's an excellent king of the merfolk,” Tang Guo agreed. “Merfolk possess endless lifespans. He's right. Even if they fall in love with humans and spend a mere hundred years together, what difference does it make?”
Then she smiled.
“The truth is, he wishes the merfolk would spread out and sow their bloodlines all over the human world. Unfortunately, only ordinary merfolk can produce offspring with humans with a one-hundred-percent success rate. Slightly higher-ranking merfolk have much lower chances. He's simply casting a wide net and hoping someone gets lucky.”
System burst out laughing.
This Sea King was truly an extraordinary fish.
“Host, your father is really farsighted,” the System remarked. “Look at things now. Who knows how many merfolk are already living among humans? Some descendants of merfolk and humans can live underwater but no longer possess obvious merfolk characteristics. That's evolution. They have tremendous advantages in human society.”
“If not for that, would we be living in this huge villa right now?” Tang Guo replied with amusement. “I heard one of our descendants became the mayor of a certain city. A few years ago, during the Undersea Convention, he attended in a suit. Half the Sea Race tried to drag him away and make him their son-in-law.”
“I remember members of the Crab Clan were interested, along with Shark Clan girls and Shell Clan girls… there were many. Oh, and there was a girl from the Sea Turtle Clan who even followed him ashore.”
System nearly choked with laughter.
“So nobody cares about race when arranging marriages anymore?”
On the third day, Tang Guo arrived at a certain high school wearing a simple and youthful dress.
At that moment, she stood smiling on the podium of Class Two, Grade One.
The homeroom teacher interrupted the noisy students below and announced, “Everyone, this is our new transfer student.”
Turning to Tang Guo, she said kindly, “New student, why don't you introduce yourself to everyone?”
