WTYTIAAN Chapter 11
by VolareLillian was successfully acquired by Yan Yunqing at the auction. Yan Yunqing nervously waited for a while, wondering what the manager and the waiter were imagining about his identity. However, no one else came to test him, and they even sent a lot of exquisite food and ornamental pieces for him to play with.
Yan Yunqing breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that the people in the auction house were temporarily fooled and wouldn’t suddenly rush in and attack him.
His ears twitched, and Yan Yunqing vaguely felt some movement from the next box. However, with the blessing of the soundproof formation, even with his enhanced hearing, he couldn’t hear clearly.
But this movement couldn’t be completely covered by the soundproof formation, so it seemed that the prince next door was really angry that his good deeds were disturbed.
Before long, the door of the box was knocked again. Yan Yunqing became vigilant again, and Lillian quickly hid.
The one who opened the door was still the waiter from before, but he had a small trolley in front of him. On the trolley was a not-so-large small water tank, and the little mermaid that Yan Yunqing had bid on was curled up inside, almost filling the entire water tank space.
Even for an ungrown teenager, being stuffed into a water tank about the size of a suitcase would feel stuffy, let alone a mermaid with a tail whose body shape was more like an adult.
However, at this moment, she still had her eyes closed tightly, showing no signs of waking up.
The waiter put down the water tank containing the mermaid, and at the same time placed a bottle of potion on the table. “Esteemed guest, this is the item you bid on. Because this cargo was not very cooperative before, we used a little trick. This bottle of potion can wake her up, and the guest can use it at any time.”
Yan Yunqing looked at the mermaid in the water tank and couldn’t help grinding his back molars, disgusted by the waiter’s matter-of-course tone.
Having only transmigrated to this different world not long ago, he fully felt that this was a world that would eat people.
If you don’t have enough ability to protect yourself, you will only become a consumable in this world.
Fortunately… at least he still has a game system that can be considered a cheat.
Watching the waiter leave, Yan Yunqing waited for a minute before checking on the little mermaid’s condition.
The water tank was also an alchemical item. Lillian came out to observe for a while, and directed Yan Yunqing to dismantle the water tank. Considering that there might still be so-called Mute Potion in the water tank, Yan Yunqing moved the little mermaid from the water tank to the sofa.
“Pour this potion down her throat, and she will wake up soon.” Lillian dragged the potion that was placed on the table and flew to Yan Yunqing’s side. “I’ve checked, this is the antidote to the sleeping potion.”
Yan Yunqing nodded, took the potion and fed it to the little mermaid’s mouth. He didn’t know if it was because of the coma, but nearly half of the bottle of potion was spilled before it was finished.
“Will it not have a complete medicinal effect if she doesn’t drink it all?” Yan Yunqing asked.
Lillian: “Probably not? I haven’t really encountered this kind of situation before.”
The two looked at each other, and at the same time turned their heads to stare at the little mermaid.
However, the little mermaid hadn’t woken up yet, but her silver-white tail took the lead in changing, gradually fading away from the scales, and then… transforming into a pair of legs.
Yan Yunqing:?!
Yan Yunqing couldn’t help but take a step back, pulled the thin blanket folded on the sofa to block the position where the mermaid was gradually turning into legs, and glanced at the potion in his hand, he couldn’t help saying: “Damn, could this be the sea witch’s potion?”
Hans Christian Andersen was not lying to me, the little mermaid can grow legs and go ashore after drinking the sea witch’s potion!
“Strange, although it’s not difficult for mermaids to turn into humans, but to suddenly turn into human legs while in a coma.” Lillian flew around the little mermaid twice before suddenly realizing: “I see… this mermaid is a hybrid.”
“Hybrid?” Yan Yunqing was confused again, and it involved the worldview setting that he didn’t understand again.
“The child born from a mermaid and a human is a hybrid! You should understand this point better than me, an elf who grew out of a mother tree, right?” Lillian explained, “This little mermaid is also like this. Those hybrid mermaids are in a normal human state on the shore, and turn into tails when they enter the water.”
“So she doesn’t have a tail when she leaves the water?” Yan Yunqing seemed to understand.
“Yes!”
“Then wouldn’t hybrid mermaids be more… uh” Yan Yunqing didn’t know how to describe it, “free? If they want to live in the water, they live in the water, and if they want to live on the shore, they live on the shore?”
“It’s not that easy.” Lillian shook her head. “The barriers between different races are very deep. Actually, as a beastman, you should understand this better. Hybrids are rejected in any race.”
Yan Yunqing seemed to understand, “Then now that she has legs, it’s actually more convenient for us to escape together.”
Lillian poked Yan Yunqing’s face, “You are really a naive little cat.”
“Hey, why do you still call me little cat? I told you not to…”
“Boom–” A loud noise interrupted Yan Yunqing’s words. He vigilantly moved towards the door, looked out through the one-way glass, and found that the central stage had collapsed. The host who was just talking eloquently was pressed under a beam, and the petty nobles at the bottom, dressed in gorgeous clothes, screamed in horror and scattered after being stunned.
Like ants scattering, the scene was extremelyhuájī.
“What’s going on, did your prank magic take effect?”
Lillian was shocked: “Impossible? My prank magic is not that powerful, and according to my expected time, it will take a while to take effect!”
Yan Yunqing pushed open a crack in the door, and screams came into the room. Looking at the panicked crowd, “Then what’s going on?”
“Boom boom–”
“Boom–”
Several more explosions in succession shook Yan Yunqing so much that he almost didn’t stand still. He quickly grabbed the door frame to steady himself.
Several masked men in tight outfits appeared in his field of vision, holding weapons and pointing them at the nobles.
“It seems that someone has the same purpose as us.” Yan Yunqing stabilized his body, and quickly understood the current situation while his thoughts were flying, “It’s the bounty hunters who stole the other warehouses. They also want to stir up the water and then escape.”
Saying this, a trace of doubt couldn’t help but emerge in Yan Yunqing’s heart: Why do these people look more like they are here to kill people, rather than create opportunities to escape?
Thinking of the prince next door, Yan Yunqing felt speechless again: Could it be to assassinate the prince? Then this third floor is about to become dangerous.
Really, he didn’t leave him any time to prepare. He originally wanted to wait for the little mermaid to wake up, prepare well before escaping, but now he can only be forced to escape in advance.
“Lillian, do you have a way to make her wake up quickly?” Yan Yunqing quickly took out what he needed, “We are going to start escaping.”
Listening to the chaotic footsteps outside, and the shouts from the guard from time to time, Yan Yunqing took a deep breath and suppressed the panic in his heart.
Although he was prepared, he would still be nervous in the face of this situation.
No matter what… he is also an underage person who just finished the college entrance examination.
Directly transferring from the leisurely summer vacation scene after the college entrance examination to a dangerousyì shìjiè adventure is a bit too much, right?
“I’ll try!”
Lillian tried to use several healing magic on the little mermaid. This was the magic that they elves were best at, but the little mermaid didn’t react at all.
“I can’t wait any longer.” Seeing the already somewhat out-of-control scene outside, Yan Yunqing directly carried the little mermaid up, but before he took two steps, he was staggered by the pressure.
Yan Yunqing: …
I forgot that he was a waste material crispy skin.
“I’ll give her a levitation spell.” Lillian quickly waved her little magic wand, “It can reduce her weight a little, but do you really want to carry her to escape?”
Yan Yunqing felt that the person on his body was much lighter. The current weight was about the same as a bag of tutoring materials he had before the college entrance examination. He suddenly felt like he was back in the feeling of wandering among several cram schools before the college entrance examination.
Feeling the heavy shoulders that he hadn’t felt for a long time, Yan Yunqing carried the little mermaid and tied the little mermaid to himself with the broken cloth he had changed before.
He also took adòupeng, and covered his whole body together with the little mermaid on his back. Lillian was still hiding in his hood, holding Yan Yunqing’s hair to fix her body.
What a one-drag-two, he is getting more and more like the protagonist of an adventure game.
Yan Yunqing slandered in his heart for a few words, and then took out a fashion [Face Part Masquerade Dance] from his backpack and equipped it.
A uniquely shaped mask, with no additional value, just a good-looking decorative fashion, it can barely be used for Yan Yunqing who doesn’t want people to see his face now.
He gently pushed open the compartment door. The third floor was completely chaotic. Several people who looked like guards were fighting with a group of masked people. The fifth prince’s box was tightly closed. He didn’t know if this guy was shivering inside.
Yan Yunqing didn’t care too much. He glanced at the elevator he had come up on before. There were also masked people fighting there, and several women in gorgeous dresses were trembling and hiding in the corner. Obviously, it was impossible to go down by elevator.
“Over there!” Lillian directed Yan Yunqing, “I saw it when I came up before, there are stairs over there!”
“I’ll give you a stealth spell, but this magic can only reduce your sense of existence, not make you completely invisible. Try to hide and run.”
Lillian said quickly, “Both the levitation spell and the stealth spell require long-term magic power transmission. Next, I can’t help you with anything. Good luck.”
“Good luck or something, you say it as if we can go our separate ways now.” Yan Yunqing complained, “Got it.”
After speaking, he hid from the crowd and ran all the way towards the stairs, following Lillian’s instructions.
The setting of this staircase is relatively hidden, and it is rarely used. The nobles who can come to the third floor have never walked this passage. No one is running in this direction. Most of them are hiding in the box, and a small part is also pouring into the elevator that came up.
Yan Yunqing ran past several corridors and found the hidden door of the staircase. He gritted his teeth and pushed it a few times before pushing it open.
The stairwell was very dark. When he opened the door, a cloud of dust rose up, causing Yan Yunqing to cough violently a few times.
How long has this staircase not been used? How can there be so much dust? Is no one cleaning it?
Yan Yunqing carried the little mermaid on his back and ran down quickly with Lillian. He jumped down the steps in a few steps, and the feeling of adrenaline soaring was fascinating.
Yan Yunqing heard another loud explosion. This time the floor didn’t shake, but the momentum was huge, scaring Yan Yunqing so much that he almost sprained his foot and rolled down the stairs.
“This is my prank magic.” Lillian said, “Look, it’s just a little louder.”
When Lillian said this, Yan Yunqing had already ran to the first floor. With another forceful push, he opened the door of the stairwell, and he heard someone shouting outside.
“Wait, how did the prince’s compartment collapse?”
“The prince was attacked – alert -”
Yan Yunqing was speechless for a few seconds: “This is what you said is not powerful, just loud?”
Even the compartment engraved with magic circles was blown down, so you can imagine what would happen to the people inside…
I don’t know if that dragon scale is carried by the prince.
Well, I hope people are okay.
Praying in his heart for a second, Yan Yunqing ran around the group of guards without hesitation. The corridors here Connects in all directions, and he doesn’t know where he can go out, so he can only run away from people first.
While running, Yan Yunqing was still throwing things on the ground. Those were the various ornaments that were later sent into the box, which Lillian had engraved with prank magic in advance.
Take it from the auction house and use it in the auction house, which can create a little chaos.
The sound of fighting has not stopped, and countless screams cut through the night sky above the auction house. The mask on Yan Yunqing’s face did not attract anyone’s attention at all. Now everyone is desperately fleeing this terrible hell.
Rushing to a corner, Yan Yunqing bumped into someone head-on.
With an emergency brake, the two collided violently, and Yan Yunqing was knocked back several steps staggeringly.
The hood on his head slipped off with inertia, revealing the cat ears covered underneath. The moment he met the other party’s eyes, Yan Yunqing’s heart skipped a beat.
Oops!
The person Yan Yunqing bumped into was wearing a gray tight outfit, with a black cloth covering his face, and two daggers in his hand.
“Beastman?” The man’s eyes fell on Yan Yunqing’s ears. The action of raising the dagger paused, and then he saw Lillian who was revealed in Yan Yunqing’s hood because the hood slipped off, and the mermaid’s profile lying on Yan Yunqing’s neck.
A trace of understanding flashed in the masked man’s eyes. Under Yan Yunqing’s vigilant expression, he took the lead in putting down his hand and giving way to the corridor, “You are the two cat people and elves who escaped from the warehouse, right? Don’t be nervous, we are not people from Augreir.”
He pointed in a direction, “Run out along this passage, there is an opening blown open by my companions over there, you can escape from there.”
After speaking, he added another sentence: “Hurry up, there will be a fight here soon, you better take advantage of the night to escape out of the city.”
Yan Yunqing took a deep look at him. Both sides were relying on their face coverings to be fearless, but they didn’t know that the [LV.34 『Blood Mist』Member] above the masked man’s head had completely exposed his identity.
The face hidden under Yan Yunqing’s mask was strange for a moment.
Ah… this is? Game NPC’s head display?
