Collapse Iron: After watching the simulation, they all turned to the dark side.

"She punched you right then and there, it hurt like hell!"

"The little mermaid is overjoyed at your return."

"What's wrong?" Lu Qing asked, somewhat confused.

"These little ones are too noisy, I can't stand it, I never want to take care of children again in my life, I'm leaving."

“Didn’t I tell you about that…” Lu Qing paused, glancing at the oblivious little sea monsters beside him.

Women's minds are truly hard to fathom. He hadn't actually made her eat the table, so Lu Qing looked at Haina, who was now only showing her beautiful back, and shook his head helplessly.

He casually opened the small box containing the sleeping pills, then looked at the empty box.

So you ran out of supplies? Hakina, you rascal.

"The Kuroshio Current is surging forward, and the wounded are being brought to the clinic one after another."

"The Little Mermaid, with her innocent singing voice, hoped to bring a glimmer of hope, like a lighthouse in the darkness."

"Some people fall asleep forever to the sound of the princess's song."

"Some people remembered the endless feasts that the king had promised."

But all good things must come to an end.

"But even knowing it's a lie, they still indulge in it, because what's more terrifying than the Kuroshio Current is despair."

"Time flies like water. The little mermaid has left the petri dish and grown into a big mermaid. You taught her many things."

How to become a qualified leader.

"How to inspire people and deliver a speech."

"Deploy troops and learn to strategize."

"But the only thing I didn't teach her was martial arts, the real reason being that you're not very good at it either."

"While others acquire their power through diligent study and practice, it is ultimately superficial, whereas you have gained it through cheat codes, making the difference in skill level immediately apparent."

"But the information regarding how you acquire your power is for reference only."

[Seele: Wait, are you even speaking human language? I recognize each of these words individually, but I can't understand them when they're put together.]

[Fireworks: Take a deep breath; dizziness is normal.]

[March 7th: This is for reference only; it seems it really can only be used as a reference.]

"But there's one thing I have to say: Heather is getting older."

"It refers to age."

"This also includes some organs."

"For example, her hair, a cascade of slightly chestnut-colored hair that undulated with the ripples of water."

"Most of the other little sea monsters have grown into adult sea monsters, returned to the rear, learned martial arts, and then, in a cycle, threw themselves into the fight against the never-ending black tide."

"And Heather has always served as your assistant."

"She no longer calls you 'God,' but 'Teacher.'"

"That's normal; that title is no longer suitable for adults."

[Star: There's even a master-disciple role-playing?]

[Fireworks: Master-disciple play? Who, Himeko-sensei and you?]

[Walter: @Fireworks, give me your location, I bought you some good tea.]

"You know, Hathaway can't stay here forever, because she's the mermaid princess, the next queen."

"Haisen clearly knows this, so lately she's been intentionally or unintentionally getting closer to you, as if she wants to build a closer relationship with you."

"But because you already have complicated relationships with two and a half women,"

[Fireworks: @Estella, who is that other half? It's so hard to guess.]

[Aista: You, you, you, you're not allowed to speak!!]

A cold, aloof girl in a long, flowing blue dress, her eyes unfathomable, scrutinized the man who could almost be called the dream lover of all the sirens.

Then he suddenly sighed softly.

"Teacher, you seem to be avoiding me lately. Can you tell me why?"

Lu Qing paused for a moment, holding the medicine in her palm, then slowly shook it to balance it before putting the test tube back in its original position, showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Really? Haven't I always been like this?"

"No?" Heather leaned forward slightly, her full figure almost touching her nose.

Her gaze was extremely cold, as if she were sizing up prey.

"Never mind." She returned to her seat and continued:

"Wang has already sent three letters, asking me to come and learn martial arts. I think I can't delay any longer, but, teacher, you know what I mean."

"Alright, then I refuse." Lu Qing stopped pretending to be stupid.

After all, it's really rare for a mermaid to be able to control her smaller head with her larger one. So it's only natural that Hazel's dependence on me turned into attachment.

"By the way, Sister Heina is dead, and Black 77 is dead too, their bodies have been completely destroyed."

"Is that so? I understand."

Hazel still couldn't discern any emotional fluctuations in the man before her. He seemed to always be so indifferent, never crying, and laughing less and less.

Sometimes, she really wondered if he truly possessed the emotions of a siren.

Before leaving, Hazel left him with one last sentence.

"I will always maintain my stance, teacher. You can write to me after you change your mind. I'm afraid I won't have many opportunities to visit you in the future."

"I see."

After Heather left, the large infirmary was not quiet; there were quite a few patients, so I didn't feel lonely.

Has Hena, the ever-smiling older sister, also perished in the Black Tide?

Black 77, that guy who was afraid of the dark even when he was a child, did he also die on the battlefield?

It would be a lie to say that Lu Qing wasn't moved, but he had experienced too many things like this before, and had become numb to it.

I remember in the very beginning, during one surgery, due to his immature technique, he accidentally killed a little siren girl who could have survived.

From then on, the nightmare never stopped.

Until you become numb.

Everyone will die, including me.

He knew the truth of the world, so he knew it was all in vain.

Only intense work can allow him to barely fall asleep.

The timid and adorable illustration of Heather seems like it was just yesterday, but that's how time is.

As a member of the Golden Clan, he does indeed possess a long lifespan, but sometimes, living is more painful than dying.

Another patient was calling out, so Lu Qing jogged over and, as usual, prescribed medication and performed surgery.

He still had sleeping pills; initially, he had prepared them for himself because he couldn't fall asleep on his own.

The Kuroshio Current surged stronger with each wave, but the number of wounded did not actually increase because the number of sirens on the front lines was decreasing.

The entire siren race has probably lost one-tenth of its members.

This is Lu Qing's speculation, and this speed will only get faster and faster.

Soon, he no longer wanted to think about these things, swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, and let the warm ocean currents envelop him in a peaceful resting place. Unconsciously, he gradually abandoned human habits.

I had a dream.

I really became a siren.

He became the real Lord Lu Qing in their eyes.

Chapter 66 Sharpening the Cold Blade

Before Hazel left, Lu Qing had to answer a multiple-choice question posed by Aha.

"Original move: Keep Hazel by your side, and the king will send siren warriors to teach you martial arts."

"Miracle Hands: Agree to Heather's confession, turn her into your human form RBP."

"Common approach: Explain the pros and cons to her and persuade her to return to the king's side."

"Raise your hand: Let the king issue three decrees in succession, forcing her to return to his side."

Lu Qing raised his hand. This girl's figure was getting better and better, and she was always hanging around him. Although she would wear clothes at his request, she didn't have pajamas. She would run into his bed without any clothes on. Who could resist that?

Clothing is indeed a scarce commodity, and with the sirens hunting year-round, the wear and tear on clothing is alarmingly high.

[Aglaia: Finally, someone understands how I feel! Every time I give her a piece of clothing, she ruins it the next day. I really empathize with her.]

[Hasserin: Next time, I'll be more careful.]

[Fireworks: Translation: You'll do it again next time.]

[Robin: Those who are favored are always fearless~~]

[Fireworks: Look, they're singing again.]

Lu Qing also secretly stuffed several newly made clothes into her luggage.

Products from Aglaia are indeed quite good.

[Fireworks: Oh, there are ads here too.]

It's just a pity that the food expenses embezzled over the years have been almost entirely spent.

Actually, I don't really have much use for the money, so I might as well spend it. If it weren't for the fact that I can't repay the Black Tower's kindness, I wouldn't have become the money-grubber I am now.

[Black Tower:? 】

[Black Tower: That's going too far.]

[Fireworks: At least he still thinks about you, right? @Aista.]

[Estella: Oh right, you're right, okay?]

[Fireworks: Look, you're in such a hurry again.]

It seems like so much time has passed...

A sense of loneliness seemed to strike for the first time, enveloping Lu Qing like a blizzard. He sat on the stool, standing like a soulless ice sculpture.

Beside the throne, the Siren Princess gazed at the inverted white jade dome, where countless bubbles rose. Her comrades drank heartily, as if the worries of the front lines were none of their concern.

The aroma of the fish was as enticing as Bloody Mary, and the scent of brewed wine made her involuntarily swallow.

The queen sat high on her throne, raising her wine cup to all the sirens.

"This never-ending feast has begun."

All the sirens raised their cups together and drank them down in one gulp.

Heather often heard Lu Qing mention this never-ending feast. The king's tone was firm, as if stating a fact.

She unconsciously succumbed to it, the honey wine going down her throat, sweet and cloying, like a beautiful dream.

Yes, the Black Tide will end one day. One day, all the sirens will be able to gather together for this never-ending feast.

For some reason, she suddenly thought of her teacher.

He would probably smile if he saw this scene, instead of always wearing that worried look on his face.

Haise seemed a little drunk, her face flushed, and she was supporting her chin with her hand, as if only in this way could she support her body.

Until, Wang called her name.

"Heather, come here."

"Your Majesty, I've arrived. What's wrong?"

What are your thoughts on Lu Qing?
