Chapter 223: Chapter 153 I Want to Conceal My Beauty (Two Chapters)_2

"Roar..."

"Hiss..."

Countless Ice Blades swept across the sky. Several Beast Cultivations swiftly ascended, but they were still affected by the blades, suffering varying degrees of injuries.

"La la la～～"

At this moment, a strange song echoed in everyone’s ears, causing the Thunder Giant Dragon’s body to momentarily stiffen. The energy of the thunder web froze as several Destruction Beams shot from the sea, easily penetrating the thunder web and striking the dragon’s abdomen.

"Boom..."

"Roar..."

In intense pain, the Thunder Giant Dragon trembled violently with angry roars and abruptly shook Qin Shou and the others off its back.

In an instant, as they plunged toward the ocean, the group reacted quickly, activating their Battle Armor to soar back into the sky.

"Splash splash splash..."

Gigantic waves rolled over the ocean as an increasing number of Sea Beasts gathered in the area, firing bursts of Energy that overwhelmed the group like a tidal wave.

"Damn it, this Merfolk is definitely beyond Horror Eight Stars—retreat!"

Li Jing’s expression turned grim as he shouted loudly.

At the same time, the Thunder Giant Dragon, slightly injured, absorbed the purple Star Power into its body. Bolts of lightning erupted and dispersed the incoming Energy, clearing a path for the group.

"Roar..."

"Hiss..."

Taking advantage of the opening, the group maneuvered their Beast Cultivations and quickly followed the Thunder Giant Dragon out of this sea territory.

...

After flying for half an hour, everyone found a deserted island and decided to rest there.

"Phew... that was terrifying. The number of Sea Beasts controlled by the Merfolk is outrageous!"

Du landed and spoke with lingering fear.

Li Jing’s expression remained tense. "Controlling multiple Monsters at once is a talent ability of the Merfolk. We humans are still far behind in Beast Cultivation."

"Multiple? Those dense hordes of Sea Beasts just now were far more than ’multiple,’ weren’t they?"

"Those Sea Beasts are much weaker than the Merfolk, so they’re easily controlled by a Merfolk’s singing.

But a Merfolk controlling that many Sea Beasts uses up a significant amount of energy. If we could’ve held out just a few minutes longer, the outcome might’ve been different."

"A few minutes? Forget it, Brother Jing. Let’s focus on hunting weaker Merfolk instead."

"I agree. Hunting Merfolk of the same level in the ocean is incredibly difficult."

"Lao Qin, what do you think... no, wait, Lao Qin seems to be missing."

"What? Qin Shou didn’t keep up with us?"

...

High above the sky.

Invisible onboard Kazek’s back.

Qin Shou stared at the Zhi Yin Card in his hands, his expression indecisive.

Should he use it?

Turning into a girl... so embarrassing!

But if he doesn’t use the Transform Card and goes with simple mimicry, he wouldn’t have the unique scent of the Merfolk, making it easy for him to be discovered.

Moreover, male Merfolk and female Merfolk have distinct scents.

He couldn’t turn into a male Merfolk while emitting the scent of a female—now that would raise alarms.

After a pause, Qin Shou clenched his fist tightly.

Just this once!

Only this time.

"Buzz..."

Slapping the Transform Card into his body, Qin Shou’s form transformed instantly into the appearance of Zhi Yin.

Wah... I turned into a girl.

Qin Shou lowered his head, noticing the two hefty protrusions on his chest, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

Why didn’t I spot these earlier?

Hmm, they’re surprisingly soft—no, stop thinking this way!

Shaking his head, Qin Shou activated his thoughts, causing gills to grow on his cheeks and deep-blue scales to sprout on parts of his body, morphing closer to a Merfolk’s appearance.

This was the true reason he added Mimicry Gene for Zhi Yin.

But even as a Merfolk, I, Qin Shou, must be the most stunning Merfolk.

Taking out a mirror for some adjustments, Qin Shou smiled confidently.

Hmm, all Merfolk features are present, and it’s quite in line with my aesthetic tastes.

"Let’s go!"

Kazek swooped downward as Qin Shou flicked his fish tail and dove straight into the sea.

"Splash!!"

Transformed into a Mermaid, Qin Shou felt utterly comfortable breathing underwater, with the icy waves warming up around him as if he had returned home.

Closing his eyes, relying on the Merfolk body’s innate sensory ability, Qin Shou gradually detected the "presence" of his kind.

As seawater streamed past his body, Qin Shou swished his tail and swam rapidly toward the depths.

Before long, Qin Shou’s gills twitched subtly near a dimly glowing coral reef cave—this is it!

"Blub blub..."

Small bubbles emerged from the cave’s mouth, and the Merfolk within also perceived their kind approaching, slowly emerging from the cave.

Although the light was dim, it didn’t hinder Qin Shou’s vision.

This female Merfolk’s appearance wasn’t as monstrous as Qin Shou imagined; even a bachelor of several decades could reluctantly accept her—wait, what am I thinking?

The female Merfolk’s tail was slender, but her scales seemed mottled and dull, not very visually appealing.

Merfolk aesthetic doesn’t focus on faces; it’s all about the purity of one’s scales.

The purer, the better.

Take Qin Shou for example: his deep-blue tail was devoid of any blemishes, with translucent fins occasionally emitting blue radiance—a beauty both striking and mysterious.

Upon seeing Qin Shou for the first time, the female Merfolk couldn’t take her eyes off him.

"Oh my... How could such a beautiful female Merfolk exist in this world?"

She gasped in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.

This female Merfolk was even more gorgeous than the City Lord herself. Could she be a Royal Merfolk?

Aside from this hypothesis, she couldn’t fathom how any non-royal Merfolk could possess scales of such purity.

Qin Shou observed her stunned expression and felt very satisfied with his masterpiece.

From now on, I’m the most dazzling presence in this sea.

Swishing his tail, Qin Shou gracefully swam toward the female Merfolk.

"Sis, my name is Zhi Yin. What’s yours?" Qin Shou imitated Zhi Yin’s smile, speaking sweetly.

Ugh... this tone is so disgusting I want to throw up.

Qin Shou felt a mix of emotions within.

Who would’ve thought I, Qin Shou, would end up relying on being cute to survive?

The female Merfolk blinked, soon snapping back to reality.

As a Level 2 Four-star female Merfolk, she was relatively young. Suspecting Zhi Yin as a runaway royal, her imagination ran wild, fueled by Merfolk World’s equivalent of human Mary Sue-like tales.

Imperial Princess flees her castle in search of the perfect companion...

With this possibility etched in her mind, fiery curiosity burned hot in the female Merfolk’s heart.

"Little sister, I’m Ling Yu. Where are you from?"

Ling Yu warmly grabbed Qin Shou’s hands, her gills flaring slightly in excitement.

Qin Shou sensed the strength in her grip and was momentarily startled.

No wonder she’s a Horror Nine Stars Merfolk—even as a female, her power rivals humans of the same level.

"Hehe, Ling Yu sis, I come from far away. Are there any fun places around here?" Qin Shou chuckled.

"Of course! Let me take you to Sea City; it’s filled with wonderful sights."

Ling Yu responded and waved slightly, summoning a Sea Beast that swam quickly toward her.

"Zhi Yin sis, come on, I’ll take you to Sea City nearby."

Watching Ling Yu climb onto the Sea Beast’s back, Qin Shou twitched his mouth—she even has a Mount?

...

Riding the Sea Beast deeper into the dark ocean, the two chatted casually while holding its reins.

"Ling Yu sis, earlier I saw you fighting some humans. Did you get hurt?" Qin Shou asked with concern.

Mentioning humans, Ling Yu sneered coldly.

"Zhi Yin sis, your elder sister here is a Level 2 Peak Merfolk. How could those humans possibly rival me?"

As she spoke, she subtly hid her burned palm struck by lightning behind her back.

Qin Shou: "..."

"Ling Yu sis, you’re incredible." He praised.

"Haha, since Zhi Yin sis hails from the Royal Family, you’ll soon surpass me." Ling Yu said, testing the waters.

Qin Shou fell silent—what’s this talk about the Royal Family?

Fine, Royal Family it is!

Suddenly, his expression changed as he looked at Ling Yu in surprise. "Ling Yu sis, how did you know?"

Ling Yu revealed an "Ah-ha" smile and said, "Don’t worry, Zhi Yin sis; your elder sister won’t tell anyone."

"Thanks, Ling Yu sis. You’re so kind. If I ever return, I’ll make sure to bring you along."

As soon as Qin Shou finished speaking, Ling Yu visibly trembled.

"Bring me to the Royal Family’s castle? Haha, I’ve hit the jackpot..."

She rejoiced inwardly and treated Qin Shou even more warmly.

Qin Shou couldn’t help but chuckle. A few words and he’d managed to con a Horror Nine Stars bodyguard—time for some fun.

"Roar..."

As the Sea Beast headed further underwater, faint light appeared amidst the murky depths.

"Zhi Yin sis, Sea City is close." Ling Yu said.

Qin Shou nodded.

Soon, the light grew increasingly vivid, and a vibrant Underwater Castle came into view.

The Underwater Castle was nestled within the deep-sea trench, surrounded by coral clusters emitting multicolored glows. These illuminated the trench while adding an air of mystery.

Giant and magnificent shells dotted the trench, along with gracefully swaying seaweed as Merfolk navigated Sea Beasts occasionally passing by.

Merfolk figures were everywhere.

As they approached the trench, Ling Yu suddenly stopped.

"Zhi Yin sis, if you want to conceal your Royal identity, you’ll need to figure out a way to tone down your beauty." She remarked.

Upon hearing the phrase "beauty," Qin Shou still found it difficult to adjust.

But it was too late for regrets—he could only forge ahead.

"No worries, Ling Yu sis. I have a solution."
