Quick Wear: I and the Villain Beat the Scum Together

Chapter 142 Mermaid Tribe 2 Cannon Fodder 1

When she returned to the space, Si Ke was a little absent-minded. She thought about how long it had been since she checked her progress, but she hadn't encountered the Immortal Cultivation Realm, so she couldn't check it even if she wanted to!

However, he was so lost in thought that he was thrown into the next world by Lao Liu without noticing.

Uh, in the water!

Just as Si Ke was about to struggle, he discovered that the water wasn't choking! After looking at the situation, a huge, pitch-black fish tail appeared before him.

Is this... a mermaid?

But she felt so ugly! The mermaids she'd seen on TV before all had colorful, shimmering tails. But hers wasn't just pitch black, it was dull and lifeless. It looked like a random grass carp from the market, and it was heartbreaking.

Seeing Si Ke's disgusted expression, Lao Liu said, "Host, start accepting the plot!"

Si Ke nodded, stopped worrying about it, and looked at his own situation.

"As you probably know, this is the world of mermaids, and the original owner was supposed to be the seventh princess of the mermaid clan. Each princess's seniority is determined by the color of her tail at birth. These colors are primarily based on the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue, and violet! According to this order, a purple tail represents the most noble bloodline in the mermaid clan. From birth, it is certain that she will be the next queen. And the mermaid clan hasn't had a mermaid with a purple tail in a thousand years."

"The original owner was a mermaid with a purple tail. However, from the moment she was born, the Fifth Princess' mother gave her a secret drug, turning her into an ordinary mermaid. The Fifth Princess was a mermaid with a blue tail, currently the highest-ranking mermaid. She would not allow any mermaid to surpass her daughter's status. So no matter which imperial concubine was pregnant, she would send people to monitor them. If anyone was pregnant with a child who was taller than her daughter, or the same as her daughter, she would give them this secret drug, turning them into an ordinary mermaid."

"Besides that, the royal family of the mermaids is different from other mermaids. Mermen with royal blood have a fish-scale birthmark on their waists. That birthmark cannot be removed with poison, so this also saved the lives of the original owner and his mother."

"The Mermaid Emperor knew that the original owner was his child, and that the Imperial Concubine had not been an adulterer. However, since she had given birth to Black Tail, he concluded that the original owner was a demon. Thus, the Imperial Concubine and the original owner were driven out of the palace by the mermaids. From then on, they wandered the world, living an ordinary life."

"Okay, now let's talk about the villain. His name is Yin Xue. He was once the mermaids' number one warrior, defending their safety. However, in a battle with a sea shark, he became a cripple, his entire cultivation gone, unable to lift a knife anymore. The mermaids quickly abandoned him and replaced him with their former number two warrior."

"A few years later, the mermaids were struck by a plague, and many of them developed high fevers and eventually died."

"The wizard suggested that the mermaids had offended the heavens, and that they were being punished. A sacrifice was needed to save the mermaids. And this sacrificer had to be of noble status and have a sincere heart towards the mermaids. So, after much deliberation, they finally settled on the original owner and the villain."

"The original owner had his aortas severed in his limbs, and bled to death. The villain knew the news in advance, so he practiced a sinister technique, intending to sacrifice himself and die together. He actually did it, but the ones who perished with him weren't members of the Mermaid Royal Family, but rather the soldiers who, like him, were fighting to protect the Mermaid King!"

"The original owner's request was to expose the evil deeds of the Fifth Princess and her daughter, and to bring justice to herself and her mother. She also wanted to save Yin Xue. He is loyal to the mermaids, and the royal family shouldn't treat him like this... Host, what are you doing?"

After Lao Liu finished speaking, he noticed that Si Ke was closing his eyes. Could it be that his words were so boring that the host could fall asleep while listening to them?

However, Si Ke did not respond. After waiting for a while, she opened her eyes.

"Didn't you just say that Yin Xue has cultivated? I wonder if this world can sense how much my cultivation has recovered?"

"Did you feel it then?"

"Well, I've recovered at least 80%, which means I'm almost back to my own world." Si Ke said happily. Although the subsequent improvement was a little slower and not as fast as before, Si Ke was still satisfied with this speed.

"Let's go home!"

"Go home, instead of looking for Yin Xue?" Based on Lao Liu's understanding of Si Ke, shouldn't he contact the target of the mission first?

"I'll go home first and go to Yinxue tomorrow." She didn't forget that the original owner had a mother who was also driven out of the palace.

All right! Lao Liu resigned himself to his fate and led the way.

The world here was completely different from what she had seen before when she dived into the sea. Mermen were everywhere. Most of them had black tails like hers, and occasionally a colorful one swam by, but they were very few in number.

"That's because this is a slum, and the class divisions here are very strict. If it were in a wealthy area, there would be more mermaids of various colors." Lao Liu explained.

After traveling through so many worlds, this was the first time he lived in a slum, and it was an underwater slum. Si Ke didn't know whether this was his luck or not.

"Where is Yin Xue? Does he live in the rich area?" After all, he was the former number one warrior. No matter how poor he is, he should have his own place.

"No, he's also in the slums. People without value should make way for those with value. This is the Mermaid King's values."

"Ha! I've seen ruthless people, but I've never seen someone so shameless."

"Host, the hole in front is your home." Lao Liu said.

There are only two places where mermaids live, one is the palace and the other is the cave.

Caves come in different sizes. The poorer and lower-status people are, the smaller caves they can live in.

So when Si Ke entered the cave, she was still startled. There was barely enough space for her and her mother's bodies. Even if they rolled over, they had to be careful not to push the other mermaid out.

The mother is a mermaid with a golden tail. Not only is she beautiful, but her face is also serene and gentle, making it impossible to take your eyes off her.

Seeing her daughter staring at her blankly, the mother couldn't help but sneer. In fact, her daughter often looked at her like that, with a hint of envy in her eyes. Alas! She had ruined the child. If it weren't for those days... she would have been the most beautiful princess of the mermaid tribe!

"Wow, what beautiful pearls!" Si Ke took it with both hands. White pearls fell into her hands one by one. She knew that her mother was crying.

"Mom, don't cry. Did I do something wrong?" Si Ke was a little confused.

"No, Coco, come and eat!" Mother wiped her tears and put a big fish in front of her.
