Chapter 24 The Mermaid Maiden, Ilya

"Huh?

What kind of move is this?

Looking at the huge voice invitation on the projection, Chen Yu clicked it.

Confirm.

"Chen Yu!!!"

As soon as the call was answered, Jiang Yaqing's angry voice came from his wristband.

"You're something else, I finally caught you. I sent you so many messages and you didn't even reply, are you even human!"

Yaya ya!

She's really fired up.

The roar, like a lioness from Hedong, was hard to connect with the avatar with a radiant smile on the projection.

Fake photos, they're so misleading!

"You speak!"

Jiang Yaqing shouted again, and Chen Yu blinked.

"How can we voice call?"

"Our intimacy level is enough, didn't you see?" Jiang Yaqing reprimanded.

"Intimacy level?"

Chen Yu only then noticed the red heart between his and Jiang Yaqing's avatars.

The system judged them as friends.

"When did we get so close? I'm not familiar with you," Chen Yu pouted. "What kind of rating system is this? Can we be friends?"

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Yaqing sounded a little indignant, then let out a gasp.

"Hey, why is your head bald?"

Chen Yu's face immediately darkened.

Why did everyone have to ask about his baldness?

"I thought it was in the way, so I shaved it with a sword."

"Tsk tsk tsk, don't say it, your voice sounds quite nice when you say that," Jiang Yaqing suddenly clicked her tongue. "It's a shame, voices like that usually belong to greasy uncles."

"Are you blind? You can't see my avatar, that I'm a greasy uncle?"

"Sorry, that lightbulb was too glaring, I couldn't see clearly at all. Ah… my eyes, I looked at your avatar and it blinded my eyes, such a bright bald head!"

"You seem to have a serious problem."

Chen Yu threw a black sesame seed into his mouth.

Fishing had been unproductive, which made Chen Yu very annoyed.

After a moment of thought,

He grabbed a piece of roasted meat as bait.

Exquisite roasted meat, even fish should not be able to resist such a delicious temptation.

He cast his line.

"Do you have something to say or not? If not, I'm hanging up," Chen Yu murmured. "If you're asking me to repay resources, that's impossible. It's your own problem, don't expect me to bear it. It's not like you haven't eaten my roasted meat before. My roasted meat has the 'exquisite' prefix, so blame your own greed if you want."

"Hey, you're being hurtful saying that, I trusted you," Jiang Yaqing said coquettishly.

"Hmph~"

Chen Yu pouted.

Too fake!

Did he really not know if she trusted him or not?

"Chen Yu, you..."

Just as Jiang Yaqing started to speak, Chen Yu's fishing rod suddenly moved.

He quickly reeled it in.

With his strength, he couldn't pull it up.

"Whoa… what is this?" Chen Yu went from sitting to standing, pulling his fishing rod with all his might, shouting uncontrollably, "Why is it so heavy? Whoa… come up!"

Chen Yu gripped the fishing rod tightly.

He couldn't help but murmur.

Could he have caught a whale?

This was a lake.

How could there be a fish with such great strength?

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yaqing asked curiously, hearing Chen Yu's strained voice. "Are you exploring a dungeon?"

"Ugh!!!"

Chen Yu's face was contorted with exertion, and Black Bean coincidentally returned with the box.

"Boss."

"Quick, quick, Black Bean, hurry..." Chen Yu shouted, "Big brother caught a big fish, hey… um, Jiang Yaqing, we'll talk later, I'm hanging up."

He ended the voice call and gripped the fishing rod with both hands even more forcefully.

"Black Bean, hurry, this fish we catch will be enough for us to eat for half a year!"

"Boss, are you okay? I'm a cat!" Black Bean stood beside Chen Yu with a helpless expression. "What help can you expect from me? Should I gnaw on your pant leg?"

"Hook it with your claws."

"Look at my frail body. You're struggling to pull such a big fish, and if I hook it, I'll be gone instantly, right?"

"Forget it, go up and wait there."

Since Black Bean couldn't help, Chen Yu's arms bulged with veins.

"Come up!"

You have to say, the quality of Chen Yu's fishing rod was really good, other rods might have broken.

Chen Yu was determined to haul this fish out.

His arms bulged with veins, and his eyes were bloodshot from the effort.

Clenching his teeth, he slowly retreated step by step.

After about two to three minutes, a smooth back emerged on the surface of the lake, and Chen Yu's hook was caught on a strap on its back.

It was actually a young girl!

"This..."

Chen Yu was stunned.

As Chen Yu pulled her out, the girl was still trying desperately to swim away, holding the roasted meat that Chen Yu had placed on the hook.

A mermaid?

Chen Yu immediately became more energized, and with both arms, he pulled the girl ashore.

Whoa!

It was indeed a mermaid.

A smooth back, and from the waist down, it was a fish tail.

Even after being pulled ashore, she still maintained a posture of trying to break free.

Her arms flailed forward.

"Hey, can't you just turn around and unhook yourself?"

"Ah, right!"

The mermaid instinctively responded. As she turned around, she saw Chen Yu looking fierce, with a fierce black cat standing on his shoulder, staring intently at her.

"Human, human, human, human..."

The mermaid reached out in surprise, and Chen Yu nodded slightly. Read books here.

"I am human!"

"You can't eat me, I'm a merman." The mermaid girl wrinkled her small face. "We're actually half of the same kind."

Chen Yu looked her up and down.

Two scallops on her chest, and a pearl necklace around her neck.

A coral hair ornament on her head.

Truly a mermaid.

Her appearance could almost be rated 9.4, actually, Chen Yu really wanted to give her a 9.7, but deducted 0.3 points because her tail was that of a fish.

"Why can I understand you? Shouldn't you be speaking gibberish?" Chen Yu murmured with a frown. "You speak human language?"

"No."

"Huh?"

"Bro, bro..." Black Bean brushed Chen Yu's back of the head with its tail. "I can understand, so you can understand. We have a spirit pact."

"Oh!"

Chen Yu's face showed realization, then he glanced at it.

"Why are you standing here?"

"Ahem, I thought I should cooperate with you?" Black Bean showed a human-like smile and nimbly jumped off Chen Yu's shoulder.

"Mermaid!"

Chen Yu said, crossing his arms.

"Ah..."

"Name."

"Ilya."

"Age."

"Calculating by human age, I... I should be 17 years old." The mermaid girl's voice was obedient, like a little sister next door.

"Gender."

"Huh?"

"Gender! What gender are you!" Chen Yu murmured, and the black cat also shouted, "(▼皿▼#) My boss is asking you, so just answer honestly. I'm telling you, my boss isn't a good person!!!"

"I... then I... I'm probably female." Ilya said.

"Hiss, what else is there to ask?" Chen Yu whispered, and the black cat suddenly volunteered, "Boss, let me do it, I know what to ask."

"Oh? Then you do it!"

Chen Yu nodded slightly, and the black cat swayed its tail and walked forward, a perverse smile appearing on its face.

"How do you mermaids... Wu..."

Before the black cat could finish speaking, Chen Yu reached out and clamped its mouth shut, glaring and scolding.

"You seem to have a serious problem!"
