Chapter 297 - 296: Mermaid Clan



Jiang Li was initially worried that Black and White Impermanence would come after him in the Ancient World, but then he thought, the Heavenly Monarch had already killed all the cultivators, so Black and White Impermanence wouldn’t be necessary.

[Task issued: The Sea City of the South Sea is a mixed bag of fish and dragons. The fish-people tribe is weak and bullied by the Jiao dragon tribe. You see a Jiao dragon forcibly taking a female fish-person and angrily intervene, injuring the Jiao dragon. The conflict between the Jiao dragon tribe and the fish-person tribe escalates, leading to a duel with a vial of true dragon blood as the prize. Please help the fish-person tribe win the duel and obtain the vial of true dragon blood.]

[This task cannot be abandoned.]

[Task Reward: One Invisible Cloak, one copy of the Recipe for True Dragon Blood Bath Medicine, one copy of Transform Dragon Hand.]

“Fish-people tribe?” Jiang Li remembered this race and even shared some connections with them.

In the South Sea, there were fish-people who lived in the water like fish, their tears turned into pearls.

The pearls derived from the tears of fish-people were not ordinary pearls, but pearls that were equivalent to low-grade Spirit Stones.

One tear drop was equal to one low-grade Spirit Stone!

The Fish-people tribe was a naturally affluent tribe whose members didn’t have to worry about spending Spirit Stones in their lifetimes.

However, the population of this tribe was sparse, only about a thousand, and they had mediocre cultivating talent, the highest cultivation level among them only reached the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Because of this, they were often bullied, especially by the South Jiao dragon tribe.

The South Jiao dragon tribe once bullied the fish-people by force, beating and humiliating them, even threatening them with death, forcing them to cry day and night to produce pearls. Jiang Li, who was at the Nascent Soul Stage, got furious upon seeing this and brutally beat up the young Jiao dragons, rescuing the fish-people.

The Jiao dragon tribe warned him to wait for the consequences, boasting about their connections. The rescued fish-people also showed their resolve, declaring they too had backing and were ready for a fight.

The young Jiao dragons called the older dragons over, and Jiang Li called the old Human Emperor over.

The Jiao dragon tribe was utterly confused.

Shouldn’t it be a duel between the South Jiao dragon tribe and the fish-people tribe? Why did the old Human Emperor suddenly appear?

The old Human Emperor arrived with his commanders, marching towards the South Jiao dragon tribe, punishing the guilty and killing when necessary. In the end, he even contacted the South Sea Dragon King, instructing him to keep a stricter watch over his subordinate tribes.

The Jiao dragon tribe were beings who had no hope of transforming into dragons in their lifetime. Their only chance of success was to attach themselves to the dragon tribe, obtain the baptism of true dragon blood, and seize a slim chance to transform into dragons.

Only a few Jiao dragons in history managed to succeed.

The Jiao dragon tribe was divided into four different tribes in the east, west, south, and north. The South Jiao dragon tribe was affiliated with the lineage of the South Sea Dragon King.

The South Sea Dragon King quickly made a promise that he would prevent the South Jiao dragon tribe from bullying the fish-people tribe in the future.

As Jiang Li recalled the past, he arrived at the Sea City in the South Sea.

Upon entering the city, he found it bustling with activity. There were pearls, jade ware, Spiritual Treasures, and all kinds of wonderful goods everywhere. The shouts of sellers, haggling voices, arguing voices, the sound of waves… all sorts of noises intermingled with each other, intensifying the worldly atmosphere.

“What a pity there are no candied haws.” Jiang Li regretted, so he could only buy a bowl of honey-braised squid tentacles.

Just trying something new.

Ugh, it’s really terrible.

“Is this a local specialty? The taste is a bit like…” Jiang Li caught an old fisherman and was too polite to directly declare it dreadful.

The old fisherman glanced at Jiang Li: “This is a rip-off for the tourists, we locals don’t eat it.”

“…crap.”

Jiang Li found himself missing the Ancient World. Back there, he helped Yu Feng plot against enemies, using strategy to overcome strength, and using surprise to overcome normal tactics. He was invincible and omniscient.

But the moment he returned to the Nine Provinces, he was being ripped off.

“Were you also here to participate in the bridal selection ceremony for the little princess of the fish-people tribe and catch the embroidered ball?” The fisherman seemed to pity Jiang Li and decided to chat with him.

Jiang Li felt insulted.

“Little princess of the fish-people tribe?”

“Yeah, haven’t you heard? Many people came to participate in the bridal selection ceremony for the fish-people tribe’s little princess. Lots of outsiders have come, and even the prices have temporarily risen. However, we locals still have the original prices.”

Jiang Li thought that maybe the Sea City of the South Sea was built on scamming tourists.

“To be honest, the fish-people tribe have been really lucky. Being protected by the old Human Emperor and Human Emperor Jiang, who would dare to mess with them now? Nowadays, everyone wants to marry into the fish-people tribe.”

Indeed, because Jiang Li asked the old Human Emperor to help, both of the Human Emperors had some connections with the fish-people tribe. Now that Jiang Li was in a powerful position, the South Sea Dragon King would inevitably command the South Jiao dragon tribe even more strictly, in case Jiang Li came for an inspection.

The bald fisherman chuckled: “I don’t mean to hide it, but when I was young and as handsome as you, I also tried to marry into the fish-people tribe. Unfortunately, I wasn’t chosen.”

Hearing the fisherman’s “also”, Jiang Li felt compelled to explain: “I am really not here to marry into the fish-people tribe.”

“Hey hey, young man, don’t be so shy. What’s wrong with relying on women? Being able to depend on them is also a skill, isn’t it?” The fisherman said proudly.

The fish-people tribe was wealthy their whole lives and never ran out of Spirit Stones. Many cultivators didn’t want to work hard and relied on their looks to live off the fish-people tribe by marrying in.

Not to mention that now it was the little princess of the fish-people tribe’s bridal selection ceremony, the cultivators were breaking their heads to participate.

Moreover, the fish-people tribe only had females, and the offspring born would undoubtedly be fish-people, so there was no worry about bloodline contamination.

Thinking about how the once bullied fish-people tribe had now become so popular, Jiang Li, despite being ripped off, felt a little better.

“Give me two crabs, a tail of red sturgeon, and two pounds of barnacles.” Jiang Li bought some seafood from the fisherman and planned to have them cooked at a stall.

There was a special place in the city that provided seafood cooking services, offering steaming, stir-frying, etc.

“You didn’t rip me off this time, did you?” Jiang Li asked cautiously.

The fisherman looked displeased, seemingly dissatisfied with Jiang Li’s suspicion: “Don’t lump me in with those unscrupulous guys. You’ve already been ripped off once, how could I rip you off again? If I’m going to rip someone off, it should be someone else.”

“Rest assured, I didn’t overcharge you this time.”

So, you still want to scam people, don’t you? Jiang Li felt it was necessary for someone to manage the Sea City of the South Sea. The prices here were as unreliable as the changing tides.

Unfortunately, the Imperial Palace couldn’t control such minor details.

Following the direction of the temporarily conscientious old man, Jiang Li came across a local-only cooking stall.

“Stir-fry the crabs, steam the red sturgeon and barnacles.”

“Alright.” The waiter slung a towel over his shoulder and took Jiang Li’s seafood to the kitchen.

“Huh?” Jiang Li didn’t expect to encounter familiar faces here, and three at that.

“Young man, it’s a rare opportunity. You two are mutually attracted. If you don’t seize the chance and make a move quickly, are you going to wait for the little princess to throw the embroidered ball to someone else?”

“But, but I am a sword cultivator, my master said that I am in a period of cultivation promotion, I shouldn’t worry about love, and I, I dare not confess to her, to establish the relationship.”

“So what if you’re a sword cultivator? You’re the sword, and the little princess of the fish-people tribe is the sheath. You two are naturally a pair.” The two cultivators urged the sword cultivator to confess his feelings.

The sword cultivator thought what he was hearing was just too adult-themed, which could only be expected from people who sold dirty books.

Jiang Li touched his forehead: “Commander Ma Zhuo, please mind your manners. Don’t talk like that in public.”

“Hall master?”

“Human Emperor?”

The three people were indeed Commander Ma Zhuo, and Seven Kills Daoist Li Fugui.

Jiang Li didn’t know how these three got together.
