I set you up on a blind date, and you've managed to overcome all the weirdness?

"Alright, whatever makes Your Majesty happy."

Lin Yan tactfully offered a compliment.

"However, my mortal body cannot stay in the water for too long."

"You've made quite a stir this time. The bureau is probably going crazy with worry. I need to go up and close the case right away."

The mermaid didn't try to stop her. She gently waved her hand, and a stream of water lifted Lin Yan up.

"Get out of here." The mermaid held her wine glass and closed her eyes.

"Next time you come, remember to keep that account under control."

The water was flowing.

When Lin Yan opened his eyes again, he was just spit out by the water with a splash, back to the place he had come in from.

The barrier here has disappeared.

Unlike the silence of the mermaid realm, the parking lot was filled with the blaring of alarms and a cacophony of voices.

"Found him! Special Envoy Lin is here!"

When the tactical operators in the distance saw Lin Yan appear out of thin air, a group of them rushed over with shouts of surprise.

Old Zhao rushed here as soon as he heard the news.

He took the lead and helped Lin Yan up.

"Quick, medic! How did he get so badly injured! Where's the monster inside?"

Lin Yan leaned against Lao Zhao, just about to make up a story about an elder's intervention and a last-minute comeback to fool everyone.

Suddenly, my phone rang.

After Lin Yan emerged from the mermaid realm, Chu Chu immediately came looking for him.

Surrounded by his colleagues from the bureau, with so many people around, Lin Yan could only check Chu Chu's messages through the system's facial recognition system.

It would have been better if he hadn't looked; once he did, Lin Yan almost fainted.

[Cyber ​​Wraith Chu Chu]: Brother! You're out!

【Cyber ​​Ghost Chu Chu】: Why did your heart rate fluctuate so much just now? Did you secretly do something bad behind Chu Chu's back?

……

[Cyber ​​Wraith Chu Chu]: Alright! Chu Chu was right after all!

[Cyber ​​Wraith Chu Chu]: Tell me! Why do you smell like that old mudfish all over you now!

【Cyber ​​Ghost Chu Chu】: What exactly did you do underwater with Chu Chu on your back? Were you forced by that dead fish? I'm going to expose her in the group!

Lin Yan felt a chill run down his spine. Holy crap!

Chu Chu has such a big mouth; she always likes to stir up trouble in the group chat. If she really lets this get out of the group, we're doomed.

If Saya knew that while she was out of town hunting down a cult, Lin Yan had taken the opportunity to form a death pact with the mermaid.

She'll definitely go berserk on the spot. At that point, Saya might not be able to find the mermaid hiding in her territory, but she'll definitely be found!

Lin Yan was surrounded by operators. He swallowed hard and used his mind to control the control panel to reply to Chu Chu.

[Lin Yan]: Chu Chu! What are you thinking!

[Lin Yan]: I was almost suffocating underwater! I was about to drown!

[Lin Yan]: The mermaid breathed a sigh of relief for me in order to save my life.

[Lin Yan]: That was just artificial respiration out of necessity.

[Lin Yan]: What contract! That's because her origin was damaged, and when she forcibly transferred her energy, the remaining rules accidentally stuck to me!

[Lin Yan]: I'm warning you, don't stir up trouble for me in the group, or Saya really will come to the hospital for rounds with scissors.

[Lin Yan]: I won't even have a chance to explain then!

This half-truthful explanation temporarily fooled Chu Chu on the other side of the screen.

in reality.

"Lin Yan? Lin Yan, hang in there!"

Seeing Lin Yan with his eyes closed, his face turning pale and then flushed, and cold sweat pouring down his face, Old Zhao assumed that Lin Yan's internal injuries had flared up and shouted anxiously.

"Quick! Get him onto the intensive care unit!"

Lin Yan was lifted onto a stretcher by several medical personnel.

Although Chu Chu has been temporarily calmed down, this matter is far from over.

He has now entered into a death pact with two half-step advancement freaks, and still retains the scent of mermaids.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious.

Once I get home, I need to take a shower right away.

If he can't get rid of this fishy smell, he might really be in mortal danger when Saya comes back after cleaning up the mess in the other province.

Lin Yan declined Lao Zhao's offer to arrange a VIP ward for him.

Halfway there, Lin Yan said that there was a mole in the hospital and it was not safe, so he forcibly stopped the ambulance and got out of the car.

I hailed a taxi on the roadside and headed straight for the apartment.

As soon as he entered the room, Lin Yan rushed straight to the bathroom without even turning on the lights, dragging out the large wooden tub from which he used to soak in medicinal baths while practicing the Nine Revolutions Prison Bone Body.

There were still some dregs of medicine left in the bucket, and when hot water was poured in, a light red color immediately appeared.

But this is not enough.

Lin Yan, like a wizard concocting some kind of dark magic potion, poured half a bottle of top-grade agarwood liquid, meant for exorcising evil spirits, into the bathtub.

Then he rushed into the kitchen and poured in most of the remaining half bottle of cooking wine, a whole chopped lemon, and a few grapefruit leaves that were originally intended to remove the odor.

"Remove the fishy smell, eliminate the odor, disinfect..." Lin Yan muttered to himself as he poured the contents in.

The taste of this mixed stew is even more invigorating than a dry toilet.

He quickly stripped off his clothes and jumped into the pot of soup with a splash.

The wound on his back hadn't healed yet, and the jump made him wince in pain.

"elder brother!"

When Lin Yan opened his eyes, he saw that Ajiu was already standing next to the bathtub.

She was holding Lin Yan's phone in her hand, with the screen facing him.

Chu Chu's big eyes were sneakily glancing into Lin Yan's bathtub.

"How did you get in?!"

Lin Yan was startled and quickly shrank back to let the liquid cover his chest.

He had already anticipated that Ah Jiu might come out, and had already moved the bathtub to his own room.

It's one thing for Ah Jiu to walk silently, but how come she doesn't even have the common sense to knock on the door!

Ajiu blinked innocently, her voice soft and sweet, like a dutiful deliveryman.

"Big brother, the door wasn't locked!"

"Sister Chuchu said she had something important to report to her older brother, and she couldn't walk here by herself, so she asked me to bring her over."

"Chu Chu!" Lin Yan glared at the screen, annoyed.

"You're such a weirdo, can't you have a little bit of superhuman restraint? You have to watch other people shower?"

"Chuchu wasn't peeking! Chuchu was supervising!"

Chu Chu stood proudly with her hands on her hips on the screen, leaning her little face closer as if she wanted to jump out of the screen to watch.

"Who knows if that old mudskipper left some disgusting marks on you while he was giving you CPR!"

"Chuchu must personally verify your brother's innocence and check if you have any teeth marks on your body from her bite!"

Lin Yan was speechless.

Although Chu Chu was temporarily fooled by his excuse, she was clearly not so easily dismissed.

She's not here to report on her work; she's clearly ordering Ah Jiu to come to Yun to catch them cheating!

"What are you looking at! These are all cuts from the water! Do you want me to peel the skin off for you to see?"

Lin Yan retorted, while simultaneously clutching his heart tightly with his hand.

You can lie about what happens in the water, but you can't fake the mermaid's mark.

If Chu Chu were to see this "second wife's marriage certificate," I'd be finished.
