A Romance Between Human and Beast

Cang Lan dragged her wounded body as she walked, seemingly oblivious to everything around her.

"Hey!" Suddenly, a pleasant voice came from behind, Cang Lan subconsciously stopped and turned around to look.

Their eyes met.

"Save me," the mermaid opened her mouth, speaking silently.

Cang Lan silently watched the mermaid, while the cultivators around her continued to haggle with the burly man.

Cang Lan withdrew her gaze and silently squeezed into the crowd.

"I bought her." A weak voice rang out, instantly stopping the group arguing about the price, and everyone turned to look at Cang Lan.

"Who is she?" someone asked, frowning.

I don't know.

"I don't know him."

"Never seen it before."

"Smack!"

Cang Lan tossed a spatial bag onto the cart and quietly watched the burly man.

The burly man was taken aback, then picked up the spatial bag and peered inside. His face immediately lit up with a broad smile. He clutched the bag tightly, fawningly pleading, "It's all yours..."

"Hiss~!"

Those around were taken aback; they weren't even haggling over the price. How many Spirit Crystal must be inside?

"Crunch~"

The cage was opened by Cang Lan, releasing the mermaid from inside.

"You can leave now," Cang Lan said casually, then turned and left.

The mermaid didn't leave alone; instead, she glanced at Cang Lan's retreating figure and chased after him.

"Could this be the beginning of a bestiality affair in Cang Lan?" Ma Feifei, watching from the rooftop, was startled by what she saw.

Given this plot development, Cang Lan's psyche is definitely somewhat distorted. If she were to meet someone who treats her well at this point, it would surely trigger a chain reaction.

"But this mermaid seems to be female!" Ma Feifei looked at the mermaid's long, black hair, and as if he had thought of something, he suddenly shuddered.

Lily!

"Huh~~~" Ma Feifei shook his head abruptly.

"Just thinking about it is so exciting~~~~~"

"..."

As Ma Feifei was lost in thought, the plot unfolded exactly as Ma Feifei had imagined: the mermaid followed Cang Lan back to her small courtyard, and the two settled down there.

Cang Lan showed no sign of a smile at the arrival of the mermaid. She remained silent and taciturn, spending her days in a daze, and no matter how the mermaid tried to strike up a conversation, it was to no avail.

Until one day, melodious flute music drifted from the courtyard; it was a tune played by a mermaid.

Cang Lan seemed to enjoy listening to music, and would smile whenever the mermaid played. The mermaid noticed this, and from that day on, melodious flute music could be heard in the courtyard every day.

Gradually, the mermaid became Cang Lan's close friend, someone she could talk to about anything. The two spent every day together, and this continued for three years.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye. With the mermaid's companionship, Cang Lan began to become more cheerful, and a smile slowly returned to her face. Everything was moving in a positive direction.

However, the onlookers noticed a problem: Cang Lan was too attached to the mermaid. Not only did she have to Rest with him, but the mermaid couldn't even disappear from her sight for more than a minute, otherwise Cang Lan would definitely get anxious.

Moreover, the feeling between the human and the beast when they were together was not like that between friends at all, but more like that of a couple who had developed feelings for each other.

"The Grand Dean must have started from here!" A cultivator sighed as he read this. Cang Lan, the Grand Dean Vast Academy, was famous throughout the entire Azure Dragon Continent, and her love affair with a human-beast naturally became her trademark, known to everyone.

"Yes! I don't know why, but I suddenly don't feel any ill will towards what the Grand Dean did," an old man said, shaking his head.

"In a way, it's also influenced by the environment," another practitioner sighed.

"Heh..." Ma Feifei on the roof couldn't help but sneer upon hearing this.

These hypocrites, all gone now? It's a wonder Cang Lan and that mermaid are both women; why don't they try replacing them with two men?

You're still disgusted? I'll make you all feel utterly nauseous!

Of course, this is not something Ma Feifei needs to worry about. Now that the plot has progressed this far, it can basically explain why Cang Lan likes human-animal relationships. And most importantly, based on what Cang Lan has experienced so far, it is not difficult to guess what will happen next in the plot.

That means the mermaid will die at Cang Xiong's hands, and then Cang Lan will sever her father-daughter relationship with Cang Xiong and leave Lan City directly.

It was precisely because the mermaid was killed that Cang Lan suffered a great shock, so there should be a Memory Tribulation here as well.

"Hopefully we can pull through this time." Ma Feifei sighed, glancing casually at Ba Jiu sitting not far away. For some reason, he had an urge to squeeze Ba Jiu in as well, which might add another pillar of light, allowing Cang Lan to at least see the sixth tribulation.

Ba Jiu, who was separated from Ma Feifei by Zhang Caicai, Zhang Yunji, and the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He subconsciously looked around, which puzzled the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey next to him. The ape handed him a banana. "Have a banana."

"..."

Putting aside whether Ba Jiu agrees to go in or not, everything is already set in stone. If Ba Jiu goes in halfway, he might not be able to fill that pillar of light, and it's possible that he won't be of any use at all. So, Ma Feifei can only think about this idea.

"Sigh! What a pity. I didn't investigate properly beforehand, which has lowered our chances of success. Miss Cang Lan, you absolutely have to pull through! Otherwise, I'll lose my reward." Ma Feifei was now at a loss for what to do except pray and cheer Cang Lan on.

"No!"

Suddenly, a piercing Growl rang out.

Ma Feifei was startled and quickly looked up. She found that Cang Xiong had appeared in the scene inside. The courtyard was crowded with people. Cang Xiong and several Beautiful Woman entered the courtyard. Opposite Cang Xiong, the mermaid was lying on the ground, spitting blood. Cang Lan knelt on the ground and held her in his arms, crying loudly.

"What the heck? What did I miss?" Ma Feifei was a little confused. He had only made a few exclamations, how did the main event start happening so quickly!

"A servant reported to Cang Xiong that Sister Cang Lan was having an affair with a mermaid. Cang Xiong was furious, denouncing her for being immoral and bringing shame to the Cang Residence. He demanded that Sister Cang Lan kill the mermaid, but she refused. So Cang Lan Cang Xiong came in person, and that's how what just happened happened." Liuli, who was standing nearby, explained to Ma Feifei after hearing his words.

"So that's how it is..." Ma Feifei sighed inwardly upon hearing this. In fact, not only the servants, but even the onlookers could see it. And bestiality is a taboo subject. How could Cang Xiong tolerate his daughter doing such a thing? Not to mention that he felt his daughter was dispensable.

"Father, what does 'having an affair' mean?" Liuli suddenly asked curiously.

Ma Feifei was taken aback, then thought for a moment and explained, "It means the mermaid is suffering from a disease."

"And what about indecent behavior?" Liuli asked, like a curious child.

"That's the name of a disease," Ma Feifei said without hesitation.

"..." The surrounding employees were speechless, but they didn't know what to say or dare to say anything. They could only pretend they hadn't heard and sit up straight to continue watching.

Liuli nodded as if she understood, Ma Feifei patted her little head before turning back to watch the plot unfold.

In the scene, a Beautiful Woman beside Cang Xiong angrily berates Cang Lan, while Cang Xiong stares at Cang Lan and the mermaid with a gloomy face and his back turned.

Cang Lan hugged the mermaid, held her hand, and her face was covered in tears.

The mermaid struggled to break free from Cang Lan's grasp, took out the flute she often played from her bosom, and placed it in Cang Lan's hand.

The mermaid opened her mouth as if to speak, but her voice was too soft, so soft that even the onlookers outside couldn't hear it.

Cang Lan quickly leaned closer, wanting to listen.

In that instant, the mermaid's face fell down...

"Boom!"

A muffled rumble of thunder.

"Click~"

Lightning struck.

"Splash splash~~"

Blood rain fell again...
