Chapter 726 - Love Between Human and Mermaid

Chapter 726: Love Between Human and Mermaid

Inside the Hexagon Starfish’s array.

Han Fei and Xia Xiaochan looked at each other in bewilderment.

After they gazed at each other for a long time, Xia Xiaochan pouted and then jumped into Han Fei’s arms, before she burst into tears.

Hugging Xia Xiaochan, Han Fei patted his hand. “Well, don’t cry, don’t cry... Well, I don’t think it’s a big deal. So you have a fish tail! That’s nothing! Don’t panic!”

As a matter of fact, Han Fei couldn’t have been more panicked.

He didn’t confirm until this moment why Xia Xiaochan escaped and refused to meet with him.

Although Han Fei had such a speculation earlier, it was merely nothing more than a speculation. He didn’t start to doubt the two naturally-endowed spiritual beasts until he killed Mo Qianshang.

He also guessed that Xia Xiaochan was actually not a human being through the Giant Arowana.

Nevertheless, Han Fei was still panicked when his guesses became facts. He never would’ve thought that Xia Xiaochan would turn into a mermaid someday.

Besides, he hadn’t seen any information at this moment, which meant that the Demon Purification Pot couldn’t read Xia Xiaochan’s information.

“Wu... Wu...”

Xia Xiaochan wept so sadly that her tears kept dropping.

Han Fei comforted her. “Don’t be scared. First of all, you can’t be one of the Half-Mermaids we’ve seen. Just look at their fangs, their bulging cheekbones, and their gills... They aren’t fully evolved yet! You, on the other hand, are apparently fully evolved.”

As it turned out, things were better when Han Fei was silent. After he talked, Xia Xiaochan cried even more loudly.

The Hexagon Starfish smartly shut up. It was stunned too. It never realized that Xia Xiaochan was a sea demon but always thought that she was a human being.

The starfish’s head was a mess. It wondered if a sea demon could evolve like that.

If it was possible, could a starfish turn into a human being too?

If a starfish could turn into a human being, would it turn into a man or a woman? What was the difference between a man and a woman?

The Hexagon Starfish was completely overwhelmed by all the questions.

“Forget it. Human beings are too complicated. I should just be a quiet starfish.”

...

Inside the array, Xia Xiaochan sobbed and said, “It’s all Yang Ying’s fault. She filled demonic Qi into me, and then I had an attack... After I woke up, I found that my body transformed. Then I turned into a fish...”

Han Fei gently stroked Xia Xiaochan’s back and comforted her. “Don’t be scared. Don’t be scared. This Yang Ying is truly horrible. The first thing I do after I go back will be to kill her!”

Xia Xiaochan wept and nodded. “Yes, she must be killed! She is a heinous woman!”

“Yes, she’s inhuman!”

Xia Xiaochan cried and nodded. “You’re right! She must be a fish.”

Han Fei: “...”

Xia Xiaochan was still crying.

But Han Fei was attracted to her tail. Each of the scales on the tail were like a glowing gem.

Some of the scales were greener than emeralds.

Some were purple and showed a sense of dignity.

Some were blue and purple, which was a perfect transition between purple and blue.

Some were bright purple or pink and looked very gentle.

Xia Xiaochan’s tail was very long. Also, it was not a forked one, but a long tail that looked like interwoven ribbons. It seemed even more perfect than the curve of a human body. Han Fei was fascinated by it.

Han Fei subconsciously touched Xia Xiaochan’s scales.

Then, Han Fei suddenly felt that Xia Xiaochan’s body became rigid.

Xia Xiaochan pushed Han Fei away and said shyly with a reddened face, “Why did you touch my butt?”

Han Fei: “???”

Han Fei swallowed. “Sorry, I can’t really tell that right now.”

Han Fei stared at Xia Xiaochan carefully and found that her face was the same. She was still the beautiful girl she used to be. Her hands didn’t change either and had no webs.

However, there were some changes on her joints and hair.

At first, Han Fei thought that what covered her like soft sand was clothes. But after a closer look, he found that it was not clothes but rather a thin layer of skin like fins.

But Han Fei would never admit that they were fins, as fins couldn’t have been so beautiful.

Xia Xiaochan’s hair was slightly purple, which could hardly be recognized unless one observed it more carefully.

Seeing that Han Fei was staring at her, Xia Xiaochan seemed to be about to cry again.

Han Fei immediately said, “Don’t cry, don’t cry just yet... It’s fine that you’ve turned into a fish. The real question is if you can still turn back.”

When it was mentioned, Xia Xiaochan seemed to be weeping again. “I don’t think I can.”

Han Fei gasped. “So you’ve been escaping as a sea creature all the way?”

Xia Xiaochan nodded. “Sometimes as a crab, sometimes as a lobster, and sometimes as a fish...”

Han Fei was lost for words. The Metamorphosis Water was truly amazing to grant the appearance of anything she wanted.

Han Fei couldn’t help but ask, “Can’t you turn into a human being with the Metamorphosis Water?”

“Pa!”

Xia Xiaochan slapped her tail. “My tail is too long. I have to become very very tall if I want to turn into a human being. Also, while I can take on the appearance of any creature with the Metamorphosis Water, I can’t carry out any combat ability in a battle unless I’m in my original form.”

Han Fei thought hard. “Okay then, let’s not panic! We’re already out anyway, so we’re not in a hurry to go back. However, why did you come to the nest of the sea demons, and even a mountain belly that’s full of demonic Qi?”

Xia Xiaochan heaved a sigh. “I tracked demonic Qi down to this place. I found that I needed more and more demonic Qi after the first absorption, so I killed some Half-Mermen and extracted their demonic Qi, but it wasn’t enough... Then, I detected this place.”

Han Fei was surprised. “Then why did you leave all the Spirit Awakening Fluid to Mr. Hexagon Starfish?”

Xia Xiaochan was stunned. “I didn’t! I left all the Spirit Awakening Fluid for you.”

The Hexagon Starfish, however, suddenly said, “You said you wouldn’t ask for it from me and that I was free to drink it as long as I could help you find Xia Xiaochan. She’s here...”

After a brief stun, Xia Xiaochan demanded angrily, “Big starfish, did you drink all of the Spirit Awakening Fluid?”

The Hexagon Starfish quickly explained, “I didn’t do it on purpose, but I really couldn’t hold back anymore. Also, I saved some for Han Fei.”

Han Fei was lost for words. Would you have left anything for me if I hadn’t asked?

Han Fei waved his hand. “Forget it. We can always loot more. However, why didn’t you drink the Spirit Awakening Fluid?”

Xia Xiaochan frowned. “I did. I had a little bit of the Spirit Awakening Fluid and found that it could only slightly strengthen myself, which wasn’t enough. Also, my spiritual energy was transforming, and I needed demonic Qi rather than the Spirit Awakening Fluid. It wasn’t very useful to me.”

Han Fei had an epiphany. “So, your sickness is due to the lack of demonic Qi?”

Xia Xiaochan nodded helplessly. “Yes. I realized it after the first absorption of demonic Qi.”

Han Fei’s eyes glittered. “So, you’re healthy right now?”

Xia Xiaochan was instantly amused. “But I’m a fish now! I want to be a human being instead of a fish... Wu...”

Han Fei waved his hand. “Don’t panic! I have a solution!”

Xia Xiaochan glanced at Han Fei. “What solution do you possibly have?”

“Do you remember the Fish Transformation Technique I got from the Fiery Mountain?”

Xia Xiaochan’s eyes glowed. “Isn’t it a mortal level technique? Also, it’s Fish Transformation, not Human Transformation...”

“That’s OK! The mechanism is the same. If you can turn into a fish, you can also turn into a human being. I’ve been studying that technique, and I just need some time to continue my deduction.”

Xia Xiaochan asked in surprise, “Can it turn a fish into a human being?”

Han Fei nodded solemnly. “It’s possible, but it may take some time. Right, do you have to keep absorbing the demonic Qi here?”

Hearing that it was hopeful, Xia Xiaochan wiped her tears and said, “First of all, I have to transform the power inside my body into demonic Qi. I intended to trap you inside the mountain and thought I would be gone by the time you dug out... I didn’t expect you to be so fast.”

Han Fei chuckled. “Don’t underestimate the Nine-Tailed Mantis Shrimp’s expertise in digging.”

“Phew!”

Han Fei took a long breath of relief and suddenly poked Xia Xiaochan’s tail with his finger.

Xia Xiaochan quickly moved her tail aside and said shyly, “What are you doing?”

“Hehe! It feels rather cool. Let me touch it.”

“You are a pervert...”

Han Fei smiled weirdly, “It’s not like I haven’t touched it before. Come here.”

“Go away.”

“If you don’t come, I’ll go to you. I’m kissing you... I...”

“Ahhhhh!”
