The man was slightly irritated, frowning as his hands fisted by his side, as if recalling something, he pulled out a luminous pearl and threw it towards her, the pearl rolled beneath the feet of a certain person.

Shen Ying bowed her head and gave it a glance, don’t mention picking it up, she paid no attention to it and continued to focus on the fruit in her hand.

The man had no choice and could only bring out an even bigger one and threw it over.

Shen Ying still ignored it!

The man seemed to be dead set on pestering her and continued to throw pearls, each one bigger than the previous.

Shen Ying would still look down and glance at them at the start but subsequently she didn’t even pay them any heed.

Until the man took out one as big as a fist and threw it over, the giant luminous pearl smashed onto her hand. Shen Ying didn’t catch it and the fruit in her hand dropped to the ground.

Shen Ying’s face darkened, staring at the remaining half of her fruit on the ground, her eyes narrowed before she stood up, grabbed the biggest luminous pearl and turned around.

The man was delighted and immediately continued singing to her, wanting to enamor her at one go.

He’d just sang his first note, but he suddenly heard the opposite party say, “Are you the only one who knows how to throw?!” With that said, she threw that luminous pearl back with a swing of her arm.

Before he could react, he felt a strong gust of wind sweeping across, something whisked past the side of his ear, moving towards the river behind him with a momentum like it could break past everything. In the next second, he heard the rushing of waters, the entire river was instantly sliced in two halves by something, then a loud rumble came from the tall mountain opposite.

An enormous circular hole had been made in the middle of the mountain, at one look, one could even see the boundless sea on the other side.

The man: “...”

What had just happened? Who was he, where was he?

“A brat just needs to be taught a lesson!” Before the man could react, an angry voice sounded by his ear. In the next moment, he felt a weight on his tail as he slipped off the rock and was dragged all the way by Shen Ying into the yard and thrown on the pool of luminous pearls.

“Miss Shen... What was that sound earlier, ah!” Fang Fang walked in with the tea and instantly screamed out loud upon catching sight of the man with a human body and a fishtail on the ground. “What... What is this?!”

“Master...” Chef also rushed over, carrying a dish in one hand and holding a spatula in the other. He was taken aback when he spotted the person on the ground. “This is... a fish?”

“Could be a siren too!” Had been calling out for a long while earlier, what a nuisance.

“Oh, then...” Chef put down the dish in his hands and pulled out a chopper. “Want an extra dish?”

Fang Fang: “...”

The man: “...”

Shen Ying: “...”

“I’m back.” Lonemoon happened to walk in right then. “I’ve already informed the City Lord Abode, they’ll be sending people... Huh! Where did this merman come from?”

Under the illumination of the pool of luminous pearls, Lonemoon caught sight of the slightly dazed man with a fishtail in the middle right away.

“Came from the water.” Shen Ying pointed to the riverside.

Lonemoon turned his head. “Damn it! What have you done now?” Why was it that the moment he came back, the mountain opposite now had a big hole in it!

Shen Ying recalled the size of the pearl earlier and replied, “Played tennis?”

Tennis your foot! Who else have you that can make a hole in a mountain from playing tennis.

“Miss Shen Ying, are you alright?” Fang Fang also walked over quickly, glancing fearfully at the merman on the ground that seemed stunned. “Is this really a merman? The legends say that mermen loves to eat human meat and would often use their singing to bewitch humans. I didn’t think... it is actually real.”

So this merman had chosen Shen Ying?

The corner of Lonemoon’s lips twitched, this merman’s taste is rather special huh?! He picked one that could not be ruffled with in his first pick.

He directly took two steps forward and lifted the merman on the ground. “Speak, what are you trying to do?”

The merman faltered for a moment and turned his head to glance in Shen Ying’s direction, then his entire being began trembling again. His mouth opened and closed several times but could only let out a piercing whistling sound, his eyes filled with terror.

“Can’t speak?” Lonemoon paused for a moment, that’s impossible. Could it be that he’d yet to form sentience? At a closer look, this merman really seemed to be just a low-level demon beast. But there is no Spirit Qi in this place, why would creatures like mermen exist?

As he was thinking, the sound of orderly footsteps sounded on the street outside, a dozen of people looking like government officers walked over. “Who reported that there had been a murder here?” The one walking right in front asked loudly and stepping into the yard, but was frightened by the creature in Lonemoon’s hand in the next second that his legs turned to jelly as he directly took several steps back. “What... what monster is this?”

All of a sudden, Lonemoon did not know how to answer.

Instead, it was Fang Fang beside him who stepped forward and said. “Sir, this seems to be a merman. It came out of the water wanting to eat a person and happened to be restrained by these two young masters.”

“Merman?” The fear in the officers lessened slightly, looking down at all the luminous pearls on the ground, his eyes lit up right away. “Is it the merman in legends whose tears become pearls?!”

Fang Fang hesitated, only answering, “Possibly so...?”

The officer’s eyes became even brighter, the fear from earlier completely gone as he stared fixedly at the creature that Lonemoon was holding. “Will... Will this creature still hurt people?”

Lonemoon frowned but still replied, “Mermen live in water, they naturally lose their aggressiveness once on land.” Unless it is a high-level merman that can morph completely but it was evident that this one wasn’t one.

“Good, good. good!” The officer continuously exclaimed, the excitement on his face seeming like it couldn’t be suppressed. He then turned back after having recalled something and said to the group of them, “This demon creature is too dangerous, I’m afraid some mishaps might happen if we leave it here, it’s better if we bring it back and lock it up in the City Lord Abode.” With that, without waiting for them to agree, he quickly ordered the people behind him, “Go, bring that demon creature back.”

The people behind him surged forward hurriedly, were they on their way to snatch something? Lonemoon hesitated for a moment, but did not stop them and allowed them to take the merman away.

“Sir, then... then the murder here.” Seeing that they were about to leave, Fang Fang stepped forward anxiously.

The officer was then reminded of his purpose in coming here and quickly said, “About the incident here, the person who reported it earlier has already made it very clear, don’t worry, those people who murder for gains, the City Lord Abode will punish them. With that said, he asked for the location of the three men and took them into custody too.

He did not even reconfirm the entire incident, seeming like he could not wait to return. Seems like he was curious about that merman whose tears could form pearls and wanted to bring him back and test out that legend personally.

Even the officers of the City Lord Abode were so heedless, no wonder the innkeepers here dared to open an illegal inn in the middle of the city. Lonemoon shook his head, but there was no need for them to intervene in matters of the mortal realm either, besides, this wasn’t their plane.
