Mermaid Throne

The Adventures of a Mermaid was no excuse for not going to work.When Tao Yiran hurried to the fish shop, Chen Ajiao was already standing in the shop with her arms crossed.After learning that he went to sea yesterday without harvest, Chen Ajiao scolded him bloody.There is a time limit for going fishing. Even if the sun is shining today, it is not the fishing day set by the mermaid. You are not even allowed to squat on the beach to pick up shells.In other words, fish shops that have no supply for the past two days can only sell leftover kelp and dried goods.

Putting the blame for Guan Zhang on Tao Yiran's head, Chen Ajiao angrily drove him back home.

Tao Yiran, who had been deducted from wages, sat listlessly in the store. Even regular customers, seeing only dried fish at the door, glanced away and left. After most of the day, only a pack of kelp was sold. Tao Yiran Ran simply closed the shop before dark and skipped work to go home.

Remembering that there was a piranha at home, I made a detour and ran to the beach.

On days when they are not allowed to go to sea, whether it is at the pier or at sea, there will be patrols by the mermaid escort.Tao Yiran just stood by the seaside for a while before being chased away by the guards on the coast: "What are you looking at! Humans, get out!"

Before being driven away, he looked back at the sea that was rough with waves due to yesterday's heavy rain.

There are no shrimp soldiers and crab generals holding tridents, and there are no strange troops. Everything is still the most ordinary scene.

Back home, the piranha was lying on his bed, curled up in a ball, and seemed to be asleep.

Tao Yiran, who hadn't eaten at noon, glanced at the guy on the bed who obviously hadn't had lunch, turned around and went into the kitchen.

When he came out with a bowl of green vegetable noodles, the person who was obviously still lying on the bed had already sat down at the table, looking at him eagerly.

"...Mermaids eat noodles?" Tao Yiran put the bowl away.

"Mermaids and humans have coexisted for thousands of years." Rong Xuan only had the bowl of noodles in his eyes.It doesn't even have a fishbone, but it smells as good as the bowl of egg fried rice last night.

"Oh." Tao Yiran hooked the stool over with his feet, and sat down against the wall, not intending to carry the bowl over.

"..."

The boy sucking on the noodles didn't even lift his head.

"Don't you know what hospitality is?" The piranha was angry.

"Because of you today, I was deducted two days' wages." Tao Yiran snorted coldly, "Besides, you want to eat free food before you earn a penny for me?"

"Didn't I promise to go to sea with you in one month!"

"That means you have to eat for nothing for a month?"

"You're an idiot!" Rong Xuan felt that his dignity had been greatly insulted, "It was my biggest mistake to cooperate with you!"

"If you figure it out, get out." Tao Yiran took a deep breath of noodles.

"..." Rong Xuan jumped off the stool, ignoring the scum who was sitting at the door of the kitchen eating noodles, walked to the stove by himself, and looked at the various tools he had never used before.When he grabbed a handful of noodles and threw them into the steaming pot but the flames had long gone out, Tao Yiran hurriedly put down the bowl and rushed to pick up the noodles: "You are crazy! This is for three people!"

"How can there be three people at such a small rate!" Rong Xuan glared at him, "Stingy! Cheapskate!"

"Stupid fish! Get out of here and stand on the side! Be careful if you burn your hands, I'm not responsible for burning them into dried fish!" Tao Yiran took him aside and picked up the dried noodles that had half-submerged in the water distressedly.

Rong Xuan stood aside, staring closely at how he lit the stove, how he served the noodles, how he beat an egg into the noodles, and put a few green vegetables, and then the pot of white things emitted a tempting aroma .

After carefully carrying the bowl of noodles, Rong Xuan sat back at the table, and then slowly picked up the chopsticks to eat the noodles.

Unlike Tao Yiran who eats like a hooligan, this child always eats upright like a well-educated nobleman, with the air of a young master everywhere.

After Rong Xuan finished eating, Tao Yiran had already started reading in the dim candlelight.

It was pitch black outside.In the quiet room, only the sound of fireworks exploding can be heard.

Rong Xuan sat on the bed and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he threw himself on the bed and fell asleep again.

After a long time, Tao Yiran was tired from reading. He looked up and found that the piranha on the bed was already asleep. He took out a human-shaped sandbag from the old wardrobe, fixed the sandbag on a wooden stick with the thickness of an arm, and put the stick on the bed. Inserting it into a hole in the ground, it began to attack with bare hands.

The human-shaped sandbag is very hard, and the sponge inside is probably inelastic due to old age. When the fist hits it, a pair of callused hands are still red from the beating.

A dull voice sounded in the room.The mermaid on the bed quietly opened her eyes, staring at the protruding butterfly bone under the young man's thin clothes.That guy is too thin, so thin that even the muscles are tightly wrapped around the bones, but even so, it still makes people feel that that thin body is full of strength that cannot be underestimated.

Rong Xuan clenched his fists, evaluating who would have the upper hand after his body recovered.

He doesn't trust this man.Living for half a year is just an excuse for delay, as long as he has the chance, he will still find a way to kill this person.

But now, he needs to recuperate, needs time, and needs a coverable identity.

Thinking of those cruel killers in the sea, he closed his eyes, even though he gritted his teeth, he still couldn't restrain the trembling of his body.

He cannot be afraid.

The only thing to fear is death.

The sound of the beating stopped suddenly, and Rong Xuan quickly slowed down his breathing, trying to make himself look like he was asleep, but the sharp weapon in his hand was ready at any time...

The body was suddenly covered by something, and the body that was chilled from fear gradually felt warm.

Rong Xuan's tense muscles suddenly relaxed.

He pursed his lips, wanting to open his eyes to see if the guy's expression was still as annoying as it was this morning.

When the beating sound sounded again, he opened a crack slightly.

There was something extra on his body, but it was the clothes that guy was wearing just now, and Rong Xuan finally smelled the faint smell of sweat from the clothes, Tao Yiran was sweating profusely at the moment when he was engrossed in training.

"..." I endured it again and again, but I still couldn't help turning over the sweaty short sleeves on my body.

Damn humans!

The movement of turning over made Tao Yiran stop.

Rong Xuan couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore, so he just yawned, got up with a dazed expression, and looked at the shirtless boy practicing boxing. "What are you doing?" When he looked at people with wide eyes, he was a completely harmless child.

"Practice boxing." Tao Yiran didn't hide it, with such a big sandbag placed in the middle, who would believe dancing?

Rong Xuan got out of bed, walked over and squeezed the sweat-stained sandbag: "What kind of boxing should you practice against something that won't move?"

Tao Yiran glanced at him. "Try punching."

Rong Xuan weighed it up, clenched his fist, and hit it with five minutes of force.

The sandbag made a muffled sound, but it was much weaker than Tao Yiran's sound just now.

There was a bruising pain in the fist, and Rong Xuan grinned and rubbed it.What the hell is this sandbag!The sponge inside is like a cement block!

"Are you really a mermaid?" Tao Yiran couldn't help laughing, "I thought a mermaid could even break him with one punch."

Rong Xuan angrily raised his fist, and added two more forces, which made the sandbag dent by two centimeters.No wonder this human being doesn't take his threat seriously, at least for now, his power is greater than his own.

Looking unwillingly at the depression made by Tao Yiran, Rong Xuan asked casually, "Do you want to become an evolutionary person?"

Evolved humans are a magic weapon for human beings to fight against mermaids, but the rate of ordinary people becoming evolved humans is too low, and the human government never encourages ordinary people to cultivate themselves to become evolved humans in order to avoid making mermaids feel threatened.

As a result, the young man gave him a contemptuous look, evoking the familiar scum's smile: "I'm just practicing boxing. What does it have to do with evolution?"

Cunning humans.Rong Xuan flicked his tail in his heart.

"Now that you're awake, let's talk about how you're going to work and pay off your debts in the future." Tao Yiran picked up his short sleeves and put them back on.

Rong Xuan widened his eyes and looked at him in disbelief: "I still have a job?"

"Do you think it's possible to live and eat for free in this world?" His tone was full of incredulity.

"...But I'm still so young, what can I do?" At this age, no matter whether it is a mermaid or a human, they are still in school.Now that the birth rate is low and schooling is free, which child does not go to school?

"How old are you?" He finally remembered the question.

"...Twelve." Although they are of different races, their lifespan is basically the same as that of humans, except that mermaids have a longer youth and age more rapidly in old age.

"At your age, I have already started doing odd jobs for underground boxing gyms." Tao Yiran regained his righteousness, "Besides, you are a mermaid, and your strength is definitely stronger than that of a 12-year-old human being."

"..." Rong Xuan finally understood, this scumbag seems to have never lived a normal human life since he was a child, no wonder the Three Views are completely abnormal. "What do you think I can do?"

"No one is willing to accept a 12-year-old child."

Have you finally realized this!

"But my partner just changed jobs. Why don't you go to work in a fish shop with me. That way I can cover for you."

Rong Xuan thought, maybe the mermaid princess in the fairy tale jumped into the sea because she couldn't bear the slavery of the prince, and was so tired that she kept vomiting and clubbing in the sea.
