QWAPMP Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Merman Comes Ashore

Simultaneously, while Yan Ye was doing these things, he was in a dangerous situation. Although he did not surface, he could easily be detected by human radar, or even by the humans on the deck.

“Professor, a few ropes are broken.” Duke frowned nervously, their fishing net seemed to have caught something.

Tony exclaimed in surprise, “Are we not catching a merman? OMG, my God.”

Song Qiuyi’s nervousness was no less than theirs. Seeing the abnormality in the ropes, he calmly spoke, his tone slightly rushed, “Quick, cast some more nets, don’t let it escape.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the last rope on the monitor also broke at this moment. The radar seemed to fail for a second. Just as Song Qiuyi’s heart was in his throat, the direction of the red dot on the radar changed, and it was very close to them.

Song Qiuyi’s eyes widened slightly. The next second, he ran out of the cabin at a fast speed, looked at the sea surface, and told Tony a direction in a very fast voice, asking him to cast the fishing net in the direction he indicated.

Yan Ye originally wanted to look at someone for a moment longer. Seeing that determined look in their eyes, his heart sank, and he immediately felt that the situation was unfavorable for him. He wanted to run, but a giant net fell from the sky and captured him. Immediately after, these nets were cast upon him layer by layer like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

His speed using the fishbone knife to cut the net was not as fast as the speed at which the net was being pulled up from above.

The ship swayed with the waves, and seawater slapped against the deck. It was difficult for an adult to stand firm; one could easily be shaken into the sea if not careful. Yet, there was one person who insisted on standing on the deck, waiting for his prey to come ashore.

The fishing net, operated by machinery, finally lifted out of the sea, bringing up a legendary “merman”.

A hint of amazement flashed in Song Qiuyi’s eyes behind his glasses. Although his jet-black hair covered half of its face, this did not prevent Song Qiuyi from being amazed by the other half of its face.

That half of the clean, fair face revealed sharp and cold handsomeness. A pair of deep eyes carried a mysterious allure that made people want to explore. A drop of water slid down his high nose bridge, and a pair of dark blue ear fins were covered in water droplets, faintly shimmering.

Song Qiuyi hid his emotions and approached the merman step by step, turning a deaf ear to Tony shouting his name behind him. In his eyes, there was only this mysterious merman.

Yan Ye knew the situation was unfavorable, but still wanted to greet this person. Who knew that when he looked up at the other party, he felt a stinging pain on his skin, as if he had been pricked by a needle.

Looking down, his thought was quickly confirmed; the male supporting character was indeed pricking him with a needle.

Before Yan Ye could even say a word, a strong feeling of dizziness struck him. Yan Ye closed his eyes, sighing heavily in his heart, ‘I was careless!’

Seeing that it had fallen asleep, Song Qiuyi threw down the syringe and instructed the few people who were surprised and speechless, “Get a water tank and put him in it.”

Under Song Qiuyi’s direction, the water tank was quickly prepared, and Yan Ye was also placed in the water tank. However, the outside of the water tank was locked with several chains of various sizes, this was to prevent him from escaping.

Yan Ye woke up and saw these chains, and he almost laughed out of anger. Recalling it, the part where the male supporting character drugged him seemed to be essential. He had fallen for it in the few worlds he had encountered the other party. It was still his own fault for not learning his lesson!

Yan Ye did not wait long after waking up before he saw the culprit who had locked him in the water tank. He held a small bucket in his hand, filled with many fish, as if he was there to feed him.

Song Qiuyi raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised that the merman’s recovery ability was so strong. At the same time, he was also worried that this merman might break the water tank and escape.

He wondered about the quality of the water tank that Tony and the others had prepared. Song Qiuyi’s gaze fixed on the merman, attracted by its beautiful appearance. He couldn’t help but reach out a hand, touching the merman’s palm through a thick layer of tempered glass.

But in those eyes mesmerized by the merman, there was also an unconcealable madness.

The moment he captured the merman, Song Qiuyi disregarded the danger of the storm and immediately ordered the ship to return.

He was already impatient to lock this merman in the research institute for his study. He really wanted to touch and feel every part of this merman’s body with his own hands, to see what the difference was between humans and creatures like mermen.

But still being at sea, Song Qiuyi dared not touch the merman with his hands because he dared not take the risk. If this merman accidentally escaped, he would probably regret it for the rest of his life!

Song Qiuyi’s madness did not carry malice, but his persistence made Yan Ye’s heart tremble. He certainly didn’t want to lie on a dissection table.

Roughly guessing Song Qiuyi’s thoughts about him, Yan Ye helplessly flicked his tail, withdrew his hand, and swam away.

There was a small opening at the top of the water tank. Song Qiuyi poured all the fish into the water tank and stood quietly in front of the water tank, waiting for the merman to start eating.

He had to ensure that this merman could reach the shore alive, not starve to death.

Yan Ye was probably a merman who was unaware of being caught. If someone offered food, he ate it, with a very calm state of mind.

A young male voice sounded from outside the cabin door, “Professor Song, can we come in and take a look?”

Yan Ye’s eating speed paused for a moment. He looked up and met Song Qiuyi’s gaze, who had been watching him.

Song Qiuyi frowned impatiently and said to the people outside, “Come in!”

The door opened from the outside, and two young men with blonde hair and blue eyes walked in. Seeing the merman in the water tank, they couldn’t help but exclaim again, “Too beautiful!”

“Yes, yes, Professor, can we take a closer look at him?”

Song Qiuyi glanced at them. For the first time in his life, he didn’t really want anyone to touch his research subject. “No, he is very timid and very afraid of humans.”

Human Yan Ye, “…”

Yan Ye was speechless by his blatant lie. He even stopped eating the fish in his hand and swam directly to the side of the water tank, hooking his finger towards the two men.

Duke’s disappointed eyes immediately lit up with joy, “Professor, look! Is he calling us over?”

A look of surprise flashed in Song Qiuyi’s eyes. He spoke nonsense with a straight face, “No, he is afraid and wants you to leave!”

Yan Ye, “…” Is the male supporting character not being human and just tricking these two guys like they are fools?

Tony, who had originally taken a step forward, retreated because of Song Qiuyi’s icy gaze. He said reluctantly, “In that case, we’ll just watch from afar.”

Duke also didn’t want to leave immediately, so he could only settle for the next best thing, “Yes, yes, then we’ll just watch from here.”

Song Qiuyi was merciless, “You two go out first, don’t scare it. Don’t let it get scared to death by you before it’s brought back to the research institute.”

Yan Ye’s expression this time finally couldn’t help but change slightly. If not to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he would have wanted to tell these three people that even if it weren’t him, Jiao Ren are not that timid.

Take for example, the female lead mistook the male supporting character for her benefactor and dared to come ashore for him. Is that still timid?
