Jiang Siming nearly choked to death and hurriedly found an excuse. "That's because I was teaching them cultivation. Didn't you notice how powerful they all are?"
Shiraboshi nodded as if she understood and said, "Then, Big Brother, you have to teach Shiraboshi cultivation from now on too, okay?"
Jiang Siming was dumbfounded. Beside him, Momousagi was already blushing furiously. She glared at him, spat out "Pervert," and turned around to walk back into the cabin.
Jiang Siming was speechless. How is this my fault?
Shiraboshi was still looking at him with her big, sparkling eyes.
"Um... then you'll have to wait until Shiraboshi grows legs," Jiang Siming said, forcing himself to keep a straight face.
"Why?"
"Ahem... The things I teach at night require a pair of legs to practice. Your fish tail won't do for now."
The more Jiang Siming spoke, the redder his old face became.
"Oh, I see. Then Shiraboshi will work hard to grow legs!" Shiraboshi clenched her fists with great determination.
Jiang Siming poured cold water on her enthusiasm. "Aren't mermaids supposed to be thirty before they can grow legs?"
Shiraboshi giggled. "You misunderstood, Big Brother. That isn't absolute. As long as a mermaid lives away from the sea for a year, she'll automatically evolve a pair of legs."
"There's such a thing?" Jiang Siming was dumbfounded.
Shiraboshi had already been away from the sea for several months. If she only needed to live on land for a year, then there couldn't be much time left, could there?
I'm doomed. I won't be able to keep this lie hidden much longer.
"Ahem, then we'll talk about it once you have legs." Jiang Siming decided to put it off for as long as possible. After all, the time hadn't come yet.
Like a dead pig that
