Reincarnated as the Violent Big Boss's Little Mermaid By Xian Sanqian - Chapter 04
Jun Qingyu slept exceptionally deeply this time.
Perhaps it was because of the great consumption of spiritual power, or maybe because the matter he had been thinking about so much was resolved.
So even in the cramped box, he slept very well.
However, when Jun Qingyu groggily opened his eyes, he found complete darkness before him.
Is it still not dawn?
Jun Qingyu sat up, and with a soft ‘thud,’ it seemed he had bumped into something.
After feeling the touch, that thing automatically opened.
Light streamed in through the slowly opening crack, and Jun Qingyu looked up to see a shape that resembled a shell.
He sleeps inside the shell?
That’s not right.
Wasn’t he sleeping in the box last night?
Swimming out of the shell, you can see the shell in its entirety.
The edges seemed to have been polished, very smooth, and the shimmering golden color appeared to match the color of his fish tail.
The shell below was lined with soft seaweed cotton, which felt soft even when soaked with water.
Besides the shells, there were many other small decorations in the entire fish tank.
Jun Qingyu sat by the shell bed, lost in thought.
Not long after, Jun Qingyu heard the sound of the door opening. He immediately snapped back to attention, wagged his tail, and swam up to hang on the edge of the fish tank.
Fu Yuanchuan walked in, « Awake? »
Ee-ya.
Fu Yuanchuan said, « You were already asleep when the fish tank was delivered yesterday. Seeing you were sleeping soundly, I didn’t call you. »
“E~ya.” Jun Qingyu could roughly guess what was going on.
Fu Yuanchuan picked up the cut food and handed it to him, “Eat something.”
Jun Qingyu looked at the vegetables and fruits on the plate, still wilted and not very fresh.
Were they skimping on Fu Yuanchuan’s meals?
No way.
Moreover, the original text says that Fu Yuanchuan was on the battlefield for years, and all the military rewards he received were never spent.
If Fu Yuanchuan bought them himself, it wouldn’t be to the point of getting stale fruits and vegetables.
Unless… these are already the best?
Jun Qingyu took a bite of the apple; it was indeed crisp, but it lacked sweetness and left a slightly bitter aftertaste.
Just like the cherry tomatoes from yesterday, they were all unpleasant to eat.
Jun Qingyu was certain that the fruits and vegetables in the interstellar era had problems.
Whether in terms of color or taste, something was off.
Jun Qingyu’s fingertips unconsciously brushed over his wrist. If only his space still existed, it wouldn’t just satisfy his appetite.
The fruits and vegetables grown in the space contained spiritual energy, and Fu Yuanchuan could recover faster after eating them.
But after he transmigrated into the book, the space seemed to have vanished into thin air and no matter what, he couldn’t open it.
Seeing that the little mermaid was not in high spirits, Fu Yuanchuan asked, « Don’t you like it? »
“Yiya.” Jun Qingyu took a bite of the dried fish, and it was still tasty.
Little mermaids have varied tastes, but most prefer to eat some fruits and vegetables; dried fish and meat are only considered snacks for chewing.
But this little mermaid in his family doesn’t like fruits and vegetables; instead, it prefers dried fish?
Fu Yuanchuan noted the little mermaid’s preferences, but fruits and vegetables are necessary. Fu Yuanchuan tried to negotiate with the little mermaid, “These are good for your health, eat less?”
Jun Qingyu took a bite of the mango slice brought to her mouth, then focused on eating the dried fish.
It was as if she was reluctantly giving in, taking a bite to appease you, but actually still eating what she liked.
Fu Yuanchuan, who was being appeased, showed no sign of anger; on the contrary, he found this little mermaid lively and spirited.
Seeing that the little mermaid really didn’t want to eat, he stopped feeding her.
Fu Yuanchuan tidied his hair for him, then ate the remaining mango slices himself, saying, « After dinner, I’ll take you out to play. »
Go out to play?
Jun Qingyu tilted his head while holding the dried fish. He was so little now, where could he possibly go to play?
Before he could ask more, Fu Yuanchuan turned around to organize the documents on the table.
After Jun Qingyu finished eating the dried small fish, she no longer wanted to eat anything, but she saw that Fu Yuanchuan was still at his desk and hadn’t come back.
Jun Qingyu estimated the distance between the two of them.
She began to consider the possibility that he had gotten out of the fish tank, fallen to the floor, and then flopped over to Fu Yuanchuan’s side.
But before she could act on this thought, Fu Yuanchuan came over.
Trying to jump out again?
Jun Qingyu smiled and opened his arms, « Eeya! »
Fu Yuanchuan held him in his hands and turned to walk out.
Jun Qingyu quietly checked Fu Yuanchuan’s physical condition.
Spiritual power circulated within his body, and he could feel the condition improving.
As long as it works, he would release the spiritual power again in a few days; the restless mental energy should then be suppressed.
Jun Qingyu was just a mermaid who started halfway through; compared to other mermaids, she was less sensitive to mental energy.
Only when close could it be felt.
Moreover, the restless spiritual energy felt like a provocation from a formidable enemy to the mermaid.
The little mermaid’s combat ability was not strong; it would only run when it felt its life was in danger.
But Jun Qingyu knew clearly in his heart that Fu Yuanchuan would not harm him, so Fu Yuanchuan’s restless spiritual energy had little effect on him.
Just thinking about Fu Yuanchuan’s illness starting to improve made Jun Qingyu feel that everything was worth it.
Jun Qingyu stretched lazily and lay back in Fu Yuanchuan’s palm, wagging his tail.
Fu Yuanchuan glanced at the little mermaid, seeing a clear smile on his lips, and asked, “What are you thinking about that makes you so happy?”
“E~ ya~”
Fu Yuanchuan couldn’t understand what the little mermaid was saying, but seeing him so happy, his own mood was lifted and became joyful.
After passing through several doors, Jun Qingyu heard the sound of flowing water.
Jun Qingyu looked up suspiciously, just as Fu Yuanchuan pushed open the last door.
As soon as I looked, I saw the shimmering surface of the water.
Jun Qingyu: « ??? »
How did the backyard swimming pool become like this?
Yesterday, looking through the window, it was still an abandoned pool, but today it looks completely different.
Although it was a bungalow, making this thing probably wasn’t easy either.
Ee-ya?
Do you like it?
Jun Qingyu blinked.
Fu Yuanchuan squatted by the shore, placed the little mermaid in the water, and softly said, « Look down below. »
Jun Qingyu heard this and dived down for a look.
Originally thinking it was just an ordinary swimming pool, he didn’t expect there to be something else hidden in the water.
The bottom and sides of the pool were covered with a special protective film, so from the outside, it only looked like a pool of water.
Only by going underwater could one see large decorative ornaments.
Jun Qingyu felt it looked somewhat familiar; this place was almost exactly the same as the mermaid base.
Various small toys lay at the bottom, along with seaweed and kelp, as well as some things Jun Qingyu couldn’t name, but judging by their appearance, they were probably edible for mermaids.
Perhaps fearing he would be lonely playing here by himself, a few mechanical little fish slowly swayed and swam around at the bottom.
Jun Qingyu poked a pair of eyes out of the water; Fu Yuanchuan was standing on the shore waiting for him.
Fu Yuanchuan said, « Everything is new. If there’s anything you don’t like, you can just throw it out. »
Jun Qingyu shook her head, everything was fine.
Seeing the faint hint of blue in Fu Yuanchuan’s eyes, Jun Qingyu pursed her lips slightly.
Most likely, these things were sent over together with the fish tank from yesterday.
If the items are delivered from the east and west, Fu Yuanchuan will start organizing here.
Then he probably didn’t sleep much at all that night.
Jun Qingyu swam to the shore and whispered, « Eeya. »
Fu Yuanchuan watched the little mermaid approach and gently touched her hair with his fingertip, saying, « I didn’t know what you liked, so I bought everything. If you think the underwater ornaments are not in a good spot, you can also take them down and move them somewhere else. »
« It’s not stuck too tightly yet, your strength is enough. » After pausing, Fu Yuanchuan asked, « You know how to do it, right? »
Ee-ya.
The little mermaid did not shake her head, which meant she was certain.
Fu Yuanchuan nodded and said, « Go play. »
Jun Qingyu didn’t go to play; instead, she tilted her head and looked at him, « Eeya? » I’m going to play, but what about you?
Although the language was different, the meaning was very clear.
Fu Yuanchuan pointed to the documents beside him and said, « I’ll stay here with you. »
Jun Qingyu nodded upon hearing this, her fish tail flicking as she dove to the bottom of the water.
Mermaids need to get enough exercise; swimming can strengthen their physique.
Mermaids trapped in a confined space for a long time may develop symptoms such as scale loss or tail rot.
Fu Yuanchuan was afraid that the little box would cause problems while sleeping, so he changed the box for him overnight.
In the end, after staring at the sleeping little mermaid for a long time without feeling sleepy, he decided to come out and transform the abandoned swimming pool into a playground for the little mermaid.
Now he sits by the shore, watching the little mermaid swim back and forth in the water.
From time to time, the little mermaid pops up to look at him, as if to confirm whether he is there.
After seeing him, she dived back into the water to swim again.
Cute.
Fu Yuanchuan played with the little mermaid for a while, but the light screen on his wrist kept notifying him of messages.
He casually dismissed the previous notifications, but frowned as he browsed through the last text message.
Jun Qingyu heard the voice and swam to the shore. The water was so high that he didn’t even need to jump to reach the shore; he could even drift upstream for a while along the current.
Jun Qingyu looked up at Fu Yuanchuan, “Eeya?”
“A little something.” Fu Yuanchuan lifted the little mermaid up and asked, “Do you want to keep playing for a bit, or come with me…”
“Eeya!” Jun Qingyu immediately made up his mind and grabbed Fu Yuanchuan’s wrist, showing no attachment to this vast mermaid playground.
Fu Yuanchuan readjusted the water level in the pool, then turned around and carried the little mermaid to the study.
It was only after returning that he realized he had been so focused on holding the little mermaid that he forgot the documents he had brought.
Fu Yuanchuan placed the little mermaid into the fish tank and said, « Wait for me a moment. »
Ee-ya.
This time, someone contacted Fu Yuanchuan to handle a matter, and it was unlikely to be brief. Jun Qingyu wagged his tail and decided to swim into the shell for a nap first.
The fish tank was placed on the desk, and when Jun Qingyu swam down, she saw a… sphere on the desk?
It looked a bit like a transparent crystal ball, which hadn’t been there yesterday.
Jun Qingyu swam over to take a closer look; it was quite pretty.
The next moment, a human face suddenly appeared inside the transparent sphere.
A pair of eyes were squeezed into a hanging triangle shape by the roundness of the ball.
Hehe, little mermaid?
Jun Qingyu: « ! »
Jun Qingyu instinctively flicked her tail over.
But he was inside the fish tank, so with that tail swipe, it was inevitable that…
With a ‘crack,’ most of the fish tank shattered instantly, and the sphere was immediately swatted away by Jun Qingyu’s tail.
« What the hell?! » the person inside the sphere kept exclaiming.
Water from the fish tank spilled all over the table, and Jun Qingyu couldn’t save it no matter what.
Seeing the study door open, Jun Qingyu pitifully sat amidst a pile of shattered glass shards, softly saying, « Eeya. »
Fu Yuanchuan strode over quickly, cradling the little mermaid in his palm. « Are you hurt? »
Jun Qingyu shook his head, feeling wronged as she lay in Fu Yuanchuan’s hand, pointing at the striped round ball that he had knocked to the ground, now shattered.
Fu Yuanchuan didn’t even glance at it, carefully examining the little mermaid. Seeing she was indeed uninjured, he finally felt relieved.
At this moment, the round ball on the ground let out a plaintive cry: « Boss! Your mermaid hit me! »
Fu Yuanchuan frowned, « Mermaids are very fragile, keep your voice down, don’t scare him. »
The subordinate opposite the round ball: « ??? »
Your mermaid’s tail swipe would send my teeth flying if I were in front of him. You call that fragile?
