The male supporting character was actually myself.

The beautiful woman who runs the Jishetang Pharmacy is actually a fairy descended from heaven!

Even if a medical dispute were to break in, why would she let it go unchecked when she could easily resolve the situation with a simple magic spell?

Those troublemakers acted as if they couldn't see her, only focusing on making things difficult for Ye Bicheng and Wen Menglong. Jiang Chen covered her mouth with a paper fan and couldn't help but laugh. She guessed that Ye Bicheng wanted to test Wen Menglong's character so that she could find a suitable husband for her "sister".

He glanced back at Hai Dayou and Liu Ying, who were whispering intimately beside him, and thought to himself that it was indeed best to match people of similar social standing with each other.

After observing for a moment, and seeing that the conflict in the pharmacy was gradually escalating and about to get out of control, with Wen Menglong's handsome face almost being disfigured, Jiang Chen frowned slightly and felt that he had to stop it.

He's a brother I've been protecting, after all. Even if he's testing me, it can't be too much. Even a god can't push people too far.

"biu!"

"diu!"

Just as Jiang Chen made a hand seal with his right hand, Ye Qingyun also felt that it was time for her to intervene. The two gods cast spells at the same time, and their true forms flashed across the sky above their illusory mortal bodies. Then, both of them were stunned!

"It's actually that stunningly beautiful goddess we met before?!"

"Wow! What a handsome little sea god!"

Both of them were simultaneously surprised that the supernatural powers had been withdrawn;

The ordinary people, clearly oblivious to anything amiss, were still watching the spectacle.

When the clam spirit saw that Ye Qingyun, who thought she was just an ordinary person, had actually revealed her true form as a supreme god, she knelt down with a thud.

Liu Ying stared blankly at "Brother Chen" beside her, then looked at "Sister Qingyun" whom she had always regarded as a mortal, pinched herself hard and winced in pain, "They are both... gods?!"

Then she realized what was happening and pulled Hai Dayou up, reminding him, "Don't, don't kneel here! We can't let others see!"

"I...I really didn't expect..." Hai Da's legs cramped just thinking about the disrespectful remarks he made with "Miss Qingyun". Who would have thought that Doctor Ye was actually a god descended to earth!

Liu Ying was even more conflicted. Not only did she not expect that Sister Qingyun was a goddess descended to earth, but she also did not expect that Brother Chen's true form was actually the Sea God. These days, even gods love to play around like this?

Recalling Chen-gege's unusual behavior in the past, she quietly looked up at "Chen-gege" beside her and asked in a very low voice, "Lord Sea God, are you disguising yourself as a mermaid and mingling in the mermaid world in order to pursue Yunshang?"

Jiang Chen: ...

Although it wasn't for pursuing women, the original owner genuinely couldn't bear to leave the mermaid world because of Lian Yunshang. This is a bit of a scapegoat, and I don't want to take the blame!

“I was born near the mermaid world. Young gods are easily hunted without protection, so I had to disguise myself and blend into the mermaid community to protect myself. I was rejected by other mermaids when I was young, but Yunshang was kind to me, so I wanted to find an opportunity to repay her kindness. That’s why I always lingered around her. I really didn’t mean anything else.”

The little white cat perched on his shoulder, covering its mouth and giggling mischievously, "Hehehe, you explained it in such detail because you were afraid that the god would misunderstand, right? My host has always had good taste, and besides, the two gods are a perfect match!"

Jiang Chen gently tapped its little head with a paper fan, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

The burly men who were tearing at Wen Menglong suddenly shivered at the same time, and then mechanically let go.

The man on the far left turned around and punched another burly man in the face without warning, cursing, "Last time I hijacked the ship, I was the one who sank the people at sea, so why should you get an extra tael of silver? That share should be mine!"

"What the hell! How dare you say that? My wife picked up this old man to do her laundry and cook for her, why should you get to do all this for free every day?"

"Are you two crazy? What nonsense are you spouting here! Do you have to expose all the things we've done, like murder and arson?"

"You did the murders and arson, I didn't participate! I just used my skills to sneak into young women's rooms in the middle of the night, rape a few, and accidentally smothered one to death..."

Hearing their loose tongues, the three shrewish women rushed forward in terror to break up the fight, but what they said was still chilling: "You agreed to poison the old man and extort money from the pharmacy, so why are you fighting amongst yourselves here?"

"That's right! At such an old age, unable to do anything, yet still sick and needing to buy medicine. Luckily, I have some leftover arsenic from the medicine; you have to pay for that!"

"You damned bastards, what nonsense are you spouting? The child I kidnapped yesterday is still tied up in the woodshed. Don't let the constables find out..."

Ye Qingyun hadn't expected the Little Sea God to be so skillful, using the Truth-Spitting Spell to make them confess so many crimes, and she couldn't help but admire him.

In comparison, he had only used magic to attract the government officials and constables, and he was really inexperienced in punishing evildoers.

Wen Menglong was beaten black and blue. Seeing that the group of villains were fighting amongst themselves and talking about their deadly deeds, he hurriedly shouted for help, "Fellow villagers, please help us! Don't let them get away! The old man's death was suspicious, and they have confessed to so many heinous acts. Please help us report this to the authorities!"

"Senior brother, are you alright?" Ye Bicheng was both frightened and distressed, wiping away tears as she looked at the injuries on his face.

Seeing this, Ye Qingyun covered her mouth and chuckled, "Why don't you hurry up and take your senior brother to get some medicine for his sores? Use the ones you just prepared last night, and I guarantee he'll be fine in no time."

In his haste, Ye Bicheng had long forgotten about the proper etiquette of keeping one's hands separate from others, and he grabbed Wen Menglong's hand and hurriedly went to the counter to get the medicine;

Bewitched by Ye Qingyun's magic, Li Chuanxing, who didn't know why he had come straight here while on patrol, walked into the pharmacy with a sword and several subordinates. He took in the whole scene and couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. His brother-in-law had finally figured it out!

Look at that pretty, intelligent, and well-behaved girl; she's definitely a good choice.

"What's all this noise about?"

Li Chuanxing pretended not to see his brother-in-law interacting with the girl, but when he looked down at the ground and saw that it was indeed a dead body, his face darkened and he demanded, "What exactly happened? Who is the aggrieved party?!"

"Sir, this old man was carried in by these men. They insist that he died after taking medicine from our pharmacy," the shop assistant hurriedly explained. "But listen to what they're saying during their argument—it's terrifying!"

The four men and three women were still tearing at each other and hurling insults, their mouths uncontrollably revealing all the evil deeds they had committed.

Li Chuanxing was shocked to hear this.

Murder, arson, shipjacking, drowning, rape, kidnapping, torture, poisoning, and human trafficking—they've done it all! Why aren't they arresting them now?

He waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to tie him up and take him to the county government for trial. This led to the discovery of several major cases that had not yet been solved. As the constable who arrested the serious criminal, Li Chuanxing was rewarded, received a reward, and was promoted three ranks to become the chief constable.

Ye Qingyun finally had the chance to break the ice, and jokingly offered to take Jiang Chen's pulse.

"Taking a pulse? Gods don't get sick, why would they need to see a pulse?" He was a little confused for a moment. Come to think of it, ever since he brought Wen Menglong to learn from him, she had asked him to take her pulse several times, but he had always turned her down.

Why would a born deity need to have his pulse checked?

"Of course I know the Sea God can't get sick!" Ye Qingyun was impatient. She stepped forward, grabbed his fair and slender hand, pressed it on the table, and carefully felt his pulse with her delicate fingers. She explained, "I just wanted to see if a born deity is different from an ordinary person. Hey? You really do have all five internal organs and meridians. How amazing!"

Jiang Chen: (ー_ー)!!

"Although I was born naturally, I am no different from ordinary people, with not a single missing part. In fact, because I was nurtured by the essence of heaven and earth, I have a naturally good physique!" He was forcibly examined, and watching the gloating little white cat laughing beside him, he twitched his lips and teased, "Don't believe me? Try it yourself."

Ye Qingyun was completely absorbed in researching innate spiritual bodies and didn't realize she was being teased. She even nodded with interest, "Okay, how do we test it? Shall we have a fight?"

"Forget it, I'm afraid I'll be accused of blasphemy."

"How could that be! You are a god too, we are the same. Tell me quickly, how exactly do you plan to test it?"

"I'm still a minor, so I don't know much about this. Are the gods here allowed to marry?"

"Huh? Marriage?! You mean becoming Daoist partners? Of course, there's no rule that says you have to be celibate and devoted to cultivation..."

The fluffy little ball of fluff hopped out, wagging its big, fluffy tail and meowing, "Host, you go ahead and do your work, I'll go check on Wen Menglong!"

A gentle spring breeze blows, and the brightly blooming peach blossoms scatter petals, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere.

Soon, the men and women worked together in the Jishetang Pharmacy, making the work less tiring. Wen Menglong and Ye Bicheng studied medicine together, read medical books, copied prescriptions, and dispensed medicine.

Jiang Chen diligently followed Ye Qingyun to learn the techniques of using silver needles to treat illnesses and save lives. Every now and then, Ye Qingyun would take time to study and marvel at his skills.

In the neighboring courtyard, Hai Dayou and Liu Ying, who had managed all the household affairs with magic, chatted about interesting things in the ocean while raising cats and planting flowers.

Pleasant moments pass by quickly.

"Host, something terrible has happened!" On this overcast day, a light drizzle fell on the bluestone slabs. Everyone was busy with their own things when the little white cat suddenly rushed in in a panic, panting, "The script has been updated!"

Host, is there some department or program deliberately targeting us?

Why is this poorly written script still getting updated?

Could it be that some pigeon suddenly had a change of heart and came back to fill the hole?

Script updated?!

Jiang Chen was taken aback and hurriedly found a quiet, secluded spot to take out the long-forgotten script and carefully read through it.

"As expected, a zombie pigeon has come to fill the hole, and it's so damn simple and brutal!" He glanced at it and immediately frowned.

It's comparable to some forced endings like those involving meteor showers, global explosions, death by beauty, or death by farts. The subsequent plot didn't abandon the female lead, Lian Yunshang. After suffering countless hardships, she finally saw a turning point—the heavenly tribulation of the mermaid clan descended, and a heavenly tribulation lightning bolt cleaved open the mermaid golden tower that suppressed her. The dying Lian Yunshang was fortunate enough to merge with the power of lightning and be reborn.

The fragments of the Golden Pagoda caused countless deaths and injuries among the Merfolk. However, this powerful life force was channeled into the unconscious Lian Yunshang's body through the fragments and lightning, causing her strength to soar and her cultivation to advance rapidly, attracting even more thunderclouds to bring down tribulations.

The entire mermaid world was covered by terrifying lightning, and the silver dragon-like lightning poured down to inject more energy into Lian Yunshang.

The barrier was crumbling, and the surviving mermaids fled in panic, but many still died...

In the end, even the clan leader Si Zhuo, who burned his life force, could not repair the barrier. A huge hole appeared, and the seawater poured in, destroying everything. Faced with a natural disaster that human power could not resist, the entire mermaid world was destroyed.

Just when all the shelters were about to collapse under the impact and fail to protect the survivors, the chosen one, Lian Yunshang, was reborn. She stretched out her delicate feet from the sea of ​​thunder and clouds, elegant and noble like a thunder queen. With a flick of her wrist, she created clouds and rain, and refined giant rocks to mend the sky. At the last moment, she patched up the barrier and saved the survivors.

The merfolk suffered countless casualties, but fortunately, Queen Thunder, Lian Yunshang, rescued them in time, preventing their extinction.

She flew through the air, her blue-purple fishtail shimmering. With a wave of her left hand, she rebuilt her homeland; with another wave, she transformed the corpses of the dead into a mass grave. After creating a new home for her people, Lian Yunshang soared into the sky, becoming a mermaid goddess on the path to immortality.

The surviving mermaids wrote poems to praise her act of saving the world, and built a statue to worship her. After suffering many hardships, the mermaid finally achieved a happy ending.

"Meow! If I find out which pigeon is coming back to life like this, I'll kill it with my own hands!"

After watching the forced ending, the fluffy little dumpling meowed angrily, "This is even worse than a bad ending! I'm so angry! So many mermaids died, and in the end, even Yunshang can become a god. What kind of garbage is this!"

Jiang Chen frowned slightly as he carefully read the updated script. "I can't wait any longer. I need to send Si Zhuo a dream message as soon as possible, and also go back to the Mermaid World!"

Using dream magic, he forcibly entered the mind of Si Zhuo, the merman clan chief.

While Si Zhuo was observing and guarding Lian Yunshang through the Heavenly Mirror in the Mermaid World, waiting for her to reveal her true colors in her utter despair, he suddenly felt sleepy. Before he could even close the Heavenly Mirror, he slumped on his throne and fell into a deep sleep.

"Ah! No, no!" Si Zhuo suddenly woke up a moment later and couldn't help but shout out.

The guard rushed in and asked, "Chief, are you alright?"

After catching his breath, Si Zhuo realized he was dreaming. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly had a dream just now, and it felt like an ominous sign from the gods."

"Chief, are you referring to... a divine warning?"

“That’s right!” Si Zhuo felt something was wrong the more he thought about it. “Give the order to take Lian Yunshang to the dungeon and keep her under strict guard!”

The guard took his orders and left, while he was still savoring the dream he had just had.

A series of heavenly lightning bolts struck the golden pagoda, intending to kill Lian Yunshang alive!

Indeed, her disloyalty, filial impiety, inhumanity, and injustice incurred the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people. Had the heavens sent down lightning to punish her? But why such a powerful wrath of lightning? It caused the barrier to break, the seawater to overflow, and countless people of her clan to die. Even if she used all her strength and burned herself, she could not repair the barrier...

No! We can't just sit here and wait to die!

Since the gods have already sent down a warning in advance, there must still be a chance for things to turn around!

If Lian Yunshang were moved to the dungeon, perhaps the lightning that struck her wouldn't have shattered the golden pagoda and implicated so many innocent mermaids.

But what about the barrier?

Such a terrifying surge of seawater would likely be too much for even shelters to withstand. That's a cataclysmic event; are countless merfolk destined to die?

Is it all just because of Lian Yunshang, who deserved to die?!
