649 Chapter 649 "Swindling a Fairy"

'We should look into this matter again...now, what should we do with this fairy?' Long Ao Zhen patted Li Shi Ying's shoulder to calm her down. Now that they had already finished the second round, they could find out more about the vicious team later.

It was more important to deal with this mischievous fairy first.

'Hmmm...' Li Shi Ying stared at the fairy who was silent all this time. The fairy didn't speak or try to break free and just held onto the golden water lily while pouting. The fairy clearly didn't feel threatened even when she was already caught inside the net.

The little fairy hung her head down, but she didn't seem to be afraid of them. The fairy was playing with her hair while hugging the golden water lily as if it was her doll or something.

She kept moving her golden-scaled tail while Li Shi Ying observed the little fairy. She looked very calm for a prisoner...it was as if the net wasn't her prison, but only her temporary car or something.

What should they do to this fairy huh? First of all this fairy might belong to Qilin Country. They couldn't harm it, but letting the fairy go just like that...she would go around creating a mess again.

'Human, why are you staring at me?' Just when Li Shi Ying was about to turn her eyes away from the cute little fairy inside, the fairy suddenly raised her head and stared at Li Shi Ying with her golden eyes.

The fairy's eyes really resemble Long Ao Zhen's eyes a bit, so when the fairy stared right into Li Shi Ying's eyes, Li Shi Ying almost choked on the water out of surprise.

This fairy could talk? Wait, she just talked in human language!

'I can't stare at you?' Li Shi Ying pursed her lips as she went back to stare at the fairy again. Long Ao Zhen was the one holding the net so Li Shi Ying wasn't worried that the fairy might suddenly attack her or something.

'It's uncomfortable! What are you guys wanting from me? Gold? I can give you all the gold I have! Just don't sell me.'' the fairy glared at Li Shi Ying again. Her childish cute voice rang throughout the place.

It's a weird thing that everyone could hear the fairy's voice even when they were still underwater. Of course, Li Shi Ying didn't think too much about it since this little girl was a fairy, it wasn't impossible for her to be able to talk underwater.

She is a mermaid, after all, the queen of the sea.

'We don't want your gold. Selling you? I think many rich people out there would very much like to buy such a unique creature like you. A little golden mermaid...I wonder how much you can be sold for.' Li Shi Ying had an idea in her mind as to what she should do to this fairy.

She started by threatening the poor fairy just like when she threatened Xi Xie. Xi Xie, who was listening from inside the contracted space, couldn't help but send his prayers to the little fairy.

His master had a hobby of collecting beasts, ah!

'S-sell me?! No! You can't! I'm this country's treasure. The emperor will surely hunt you down if you sell me.' the fairy only then suddenly became afraid of Li Shi Ying. She thought that the girl would be kind enough to let her go seeing how kind she was to her other teammates.

But why the hell did this girl want to sell her?! She, a mermaid from the mermaid beast clan, didn't want to be sold! She was an ancient creature in this world, as rare as a dragon in the lower realm. How could a mere human dare to sell her??

Li Shi Ying thought that this fairy came from the dimension hole, since a mermaid wasn't supposed to be inside a cultivation world. But then she knew from Jiu Wei that mermaids did exist in this world from a long time ago just like Xi Xie, even though their race was very rare.

Knowing the little mermaid wasn't a foreign creature from another world, Li Shi Ying's 'hobby' to collect strange things suddenly appeared again after so long.

This mermaid...she wanted to have it!

'You don't have any use for us other than being sold.' Li Shi Ying giggled as she turned her head away from the fairy, acting as if she already decided what to do with her.

The fairy had threatened Li Shi Ying, saying that the emperor would hunt her down but in fact, it was a lie. The fairy changed everything in the capital into gold just for her own satisfaction.

The Emperor only took advantage of this. He might not know that the fairy did exist. If Li Shi Ying sold the fairy, she bet that the emperor would be the first one buying it.

Still, it was a mystery for Li Shi Ying of how a water creature could roam around the city not inside a water area.
