"What benefit can you give me?"
Liu Zheng asked without wavering.
"I have nothing left."
The mermaid's voice was sad.
More tears of blood shed from her dull eyes.
Liu Zheng looked at her belly, and there was indeed life rising and falling in it.
"I'm sorry, I can't help you."
His heart is as hard as iron.
"Then at least, please save its soul."
The mermaid said after a moment of silence.
"Soul?"
"I feel, Heart of the Ocean, absorbing the soul of my child and taking it back to the ocean."
The mermaid said intermittently.
"That's okay."
Liu Zheng nodded.
In this way, he can stimulate the effect of Heart of the Ocean, and his work is not in vain.
"Thank you, and may Mother Ocean bless you, kind human being."
The mermaid, who had turned into a flesh and blood puppet, suddenly showed a terrifying smile.
Her right hand suddenly cut her belly, and the mermaid fetus turned into a ball of sea water and rushed towards Liu Zheng's chest.
All this happened so suddenly that even White-Feather Chicken didn't have time to stop it.
The seawater wetted Heart of the Ocean and was immediately absorbed by it, blooming with deep blue light.
"Name: Enhanced Heart of the Ocean"
"Type: Equipment"
"Quality: Excellent"
"Effect 1: Movement speed in water is increased by 50%, and you can breathe freely underwater."
"Effect 2: Recovery speed in water is accelerated by 100%, and damage taken in water is reduced by 50%."
"Remarks: Can a child who has left his mother's arms and died young return to the arms of another mother?"
"Can copies be taken out: Yes"
Looking at the item notes, Liu Zheng sighed secretly.
There is a high probability that he will not go to the beach.
Even if he had the chance to go, he might not release the soul of the mermaid fetus into the sea.
With the current effect of "Heart of the Ocean", Liu Zheng is almost truly immortal in the water.
"Asshole, what did you do?!"
White-Feather Chicken screamed.
"I don't know anything."
He didn't explain, just shook his head.
"Don't worry about this kid for now. If you don't finish it, this fish will die."
Cow-Horse interrupted White-Feather Chicken's question.
After releasing the soul of his child, the mermaid's life breath dissipated visibly to the naked eye.
"I'll take care of you later."
White-Feather Chicken said bitterly.
It quickly sewed up the mermaid's abdominal cavity, then continued to cut away the flesh and bones, adjusting her body shape to the same size as Mermaid Princess.
Then, White-Feather Chicken took a deep breath, held the chef's knife and lightly scratched Mermaid Princess's skin.
The fish skin broke open, and at the moment when the sea water was about to overflow, it stuffed the mermaid into the fish skin and then sewed it up.
This series of actions took less than a second, and Liu Zheng felt as if his eyes were dazzled as everything was completed.
"Kekeke~"
White-Feather Chicken wiped his sweat and showed a proud smile.
This trick "Skinning and Stuffing" has been passed down since the establishment of Bloodstained Restaurant, but only the first generation chef and it can do it.
This is also an important reason why White-Feather Chicken has a stable position.
However, the process is not over yet.
It walked to a safe, took out the key, opened it, and took out a piece of linen cloth.
This piece of cloth is about two palms long and looks like it was cut from a large piece of cloth.
There are irregular stains distributed on it, as well as marks similar to the outline of the body.
White-Feather Chicken Use Gluttony to scrape off some oily substance, and then put it back into the safe.
It returned to the mermaid and applied the oil from Gluttony to the mermaid's body.
The strange thing is that the oil seems to be only a little bit, but it seems like it will never be completely applied.
Soon, the mermaid's body was evenly smeared.
Then, all the oil was absorbed by the mermaid's body, and the incision healed completely without leaving any scars.
Liu Zheng looked at her in a daze.
He clearly knew that the thing in front of him was just a patchwork, but it gave him the same feeling as the real Mermaid Princess.
"Okay, send it to the front."
After putting a few slices of lemon on the mermaid, White-Feather Chicken ordered.
Four Kitchen employees came over silently, lifted the mermaid and walked out of Kitchen.
Liu Zheng didn't look or think about what fate she would face.
"It's your turn now, human."
White-Feather Chicken walked up to him.
It was obviously looking up at Liu Zheng, but Liu Zheng felt like he was being stared down by a ferocious beast.
"You almost messed up the ceremony, and I suspect that you also let go of that Mermaid Princess."
"This necklace is her thank you gift to you, right?"
White-Feather Chicken looked at the pendant on his chest and said.
"Without me, you wouldn't even have this fish skin."
Liu Zheng There is not much explanation.
White-Feather Chicken is obviously a smart person, and all he needs to do to a smart person is Chen Qing's interests.
"Then I should still thank you?"
White-Feather Chicken said coldly.
Gluttony's cold blade glow is like its hungry gaze.
"Hey, don't just accuse someone without evidence."
Cow-Horse squeezed over and separated the Renhe chicken.
"You didn't see the scene at that time. That Garcia turned around and left. If my men hadn't threatened to kill him together, that fish would have been sold to Black Market by now."
"If that big shot knows that the meal he ordered was intercepted by Black Market, you will have all your feathers plucked out."
It said with a serious face.
"You want to protect the calf?"
White-Feather Chicken looked at Cow-Horse with cold eyes.
"Who will recognize you as the boss if you don't protect yourself when you are the boss? Besides, this thing is not entirely this kid's fault. Don't forget, he helped you vent your anger."
After hearing Cow-Horse's last words, White-Feather Chicken's engorged cockscomb softened a little.
"Death penalty can be avoided, but living crime cannot be escaped. You must give me an explanation for this matter."
it said.
"It's easy to talk. As long as you don't kill him, I can deal with him in any way."
Cow-Horse stepped aside with a smile.
"Do you accept the punishment?"
White-Feather Chicken looked at Liu Zheng and asked.
"I took the thing, and I recognize it."
he replied.
"You have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. The marinade made with your tongue must be very delicious."
White-Feather Chicken snorted.
"But one code equals the other, and I will give you what I promised you first. Salmon, go and pour a bowl of Golden Mead."
It shouted.
"I know, meow."
Calico Cat jumped away and came back with a bowl after a while.
The bowl is a white porcelain bowl, filled with a bowl full of golden amber-like wine.
"Name: Golden Mead (imitation)"
"Type: prop"
"Quality: Excellent"
"Effect: Recover 50% of the lost Sanity Value, and increase the upper limit of Sanity Value by 10 points (the upper limit shall not exceed 100 points after the increase)."
"Remarks: An inferior imitation without a soul, it can't even take you across the universe at faster than light speed!"
"Can copies be taken out: Yes"
Liu Zheng picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
The taste is not unpleasant, a bit like a honey fermented drink he drank called "Kavas".
But what made Liu Zheng most comfortable was the feeling of the wine flowing through his body.
He felt like a dirty carpet being washed clean by a high-pressure water cannon.
"Are you comfortable?"
White-Feather Chicken asked abruptly.
"Comfortable."
Liu Zheng replied subconsciously.
"The comfortable time is over, now it's time for you to suffer."
White-Feather Chicken suddenly flew up, and his two claws penetrated his collarbone like iron hooks.
