Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 369 The Bride of the Sea God (28)

Nolan stared at her angrily for a few seconds, his eyes narrowing slightly. The next moment, the two giant floor-to-ceiling glass walls on the first floor, which were open to the north and south, shattered with a "bang".

Yan Zhen was startled.

The housekeeping staff who were cleaning inside were also quite frightened and rushed to the backyard: "Miss, where did you buy your glass? I need to be careful, the spontaneous breakage rate is too high."

Yan Zhen: "..."

By the time the housekeeping staff finished cleaning, it was already dark.

The floor-to-ceiling glass is too large and needs to be custom-made. It will take a few days for it to be delivered and installed.

A person and a fish sat at the dining table in the living room, eating. Every now and then, a breeze would blow through the room, bringing with it the stench of chicken droppings from the backyard.

Yan Zhen took a couple of bites, but the smell of chicken droppings made it hard to swallow, so she simply put down her chopsticks and focused on opening the sea urchin for Nolan.

Although Nolan has a keen sense of smell, he had clearly gotten used to the smell from feeding chickens and ducks in the past, and his appetite was not affected.

After eating just a few sea urchins, he, who had been silent, suddenly asked, "How do you plan to stop the conflict between humans and merfolk?"

Yan Zhen paused, pretending to be deep in thought, and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. What are your thoughts?"

Nolan shook his head: "My previous idea was to kill all of humanity."

Speaking of this, Yan Zhen asked, "You said earlier that there was a contact person on the shore. Who is this contact person?"

"Your sister's assistant, Wei Shucheng, is responsible for relaying messages from the ocean to me and the merfolk, including Asaya, who live in human society."

Yan Zhen's face was full of astonishment—eight parts of it was an act, and the remaining two parts were the confirmed "just as I expected".

She had suspected this possibility before.

"Is Wei Shucheng also a mermaid?"

"No, he is human."

Yan Zhen was completely baffled: "Then why would he form an alliance with the merfolk to fight against humans?"

"I am not sure as well."

After thinking it over, Yan Zhen said, "I'll ask him to meet me tomorrow."

Nolan became alert: "What are you trying to do?"

"Let's find out the inside story," Yan Zhen said. "Wei Shucheng's alliance with the merfolk must have some demands and purposes. I want to know what his purpose is. If it's out of justice and compassion, and he wants to stop humans from continuing to slaughter the merfolk, then we might be able to become allies fighting side by side."

“What if not?” Nolan said. “Wei Shucheng is different from you. He is not a kind person, and he harbors great malice towards the Si family.”

Yan Zhen recalled the online strategy guide, where Si Xia met Wei Shucheng before her death in her previous life—he led a group of people to personally capture Si Lan.

Could it be that his ultimate target is Si Lan, rather than humans?

With that thought in mind, Yan Zhen changed his mind: "Before seeing him, I'll go see Asaya first."

Nolan was even more confused: "Why do I need to see Asya?"

Asya's malice towards the human race has deepened to the point of utter hatred.

“Asya is staying at my sister’s house, and Wei Shucheng is responsible for feeding her. Asya obviously knows more about Wei Shucheng than you do. Perhaps I can start with Asya to find out Wei Shucheng’s motives.”

Yan Zhen said, "If Wei Shucheng participated in the Merfolk's revenge plan in order to get revenge on the Si family, then you, Asaya, and the entire Merfolk could be used as pawns by him."

Nolan was taken aback.

The next day is a workday.

Yan Zhen had no classes in the morning, so he called Si Lan during his work hours. He said that Nolan had been in low spirits for the past two days and was frequently dreaming of being beaten by Asaya at night, which might be because he was traumatized by the beating he received at the hospital that day.

“I want to take Nolan to your house to meet Asya and get revenge for him,” Yan Zhen said. “Nolan is petty; if he can’t get his revenge, he’ll probably get sick.”

Although Si Lan was speechless at her request, she wasn't surprised after witnessing how her younger sister always granted the fish's requests.

"Whatever you want." Si Lan, who was at the company, recited a door lock code. "I'll have my secretary send over the collar controller. If Asaya doesn't behave, use this to control him—remember to lock my door properly when you leave."

"Ok."

After greeting Si Lan, Yan Zhen took Nolan and swaggered over to Si Lan's house.

Yan Zhen met with Si Lan's secretary downstairs at her house and obtained the collar controller.

Upon entering, Asaya, in her mermaid form, was found locked in a fish tank.

Hearing someone come in, he lazily lifted his eyelids to glance at Yan Zhen and Nolan, then closed his eyes again and continued to sleep.

Yan Zhen carefully checked the living room, turned off the camera mounted on the wall, and disconnected the internet to ensure that what she said to Asaya today would not be transmitted to Si Lan's ears through the monitoring and recording equipment.

After doing all this, she walked to the fish tank and knocked on it.

Asya pretended to be dead, ignoring her.

Yan Zhen simply opened the fish tank's feeding port: "Asaya, I want to talk to you."

Asya remained unmoved, practically wearing his disgust for humanity on his sleeve.

“Nolan told me everything,” Yan Zhen said. “I already know about your plan to take revenge on humanity.”

Asaya suddenly opened his eyes, and the next moment, he rushed to the feeding shovel with lightning speed.

Yan Zhen felt a blur before her eyes as water droplets carrying purple scales shot out from the narrow feeding opening, directly hitting her eyes.

Before Yan Zhen could react, Nolan pulled her back by the waist, and sharp scales flew past her cheek.

When she realized what had happened, Nolan spun around, wrapped his left arm around her and pulled her behind him, slammed his right elbow against the tank wall, and bared his teeth at Asya, letting out a low growl of warning.

In an instant, the water in the fish tank boiled violently as if it were boiling, and Asaya struggled painfully like a fish that had fallen into boiling water.

Yan Zhen was taken aback.

This was the first time she had seen Nolan display such a strong aggressive side. The power of "Poseidon" was so formidable that it could instantly kill a mermaid of a lower level.

It seems that Nolan didn't kill Qiao Yun outright at the school gate that day; he showed mercy.

"Nolan." Yan Zhen pulled him back and shook his head, signaling him to stop the sonic attack.

Nolan then withdrew his aggression, and the water in the fish tank instantly returned to calm.

Asahiya seemed to have all her strength drained away, and slowly sank to the bottom of the fish tank.

Yan Zhen noticed that a scale was missing from his tail fin, as if it had been forcibly torn off, and the wound was oozing thin strands of blood.

Thinking back to the scales he used to attack him earlier, that move was truly a case of hurting the enemy a thousand while hurting himself eight hundred.

At the same time, Yan Zhen also realized that Asaya's temper was far more volatile than she had expected.

He already harbored deep hostility towards humanity, and being a member of the Si family, it was difficult for him to communicate calmly with himself.

Yan Zhen believed in the principle of "courtesy first, then force" – if negotiation was possible, that was best; if not, then action would suffice.

With that in mind, she said to Nolan, "Get him out of the fish tank. I want to talk to him face to face."
