Plan A
The Queen of the Deep Sea 2
Princess
【Host, the remaining lifespan of this body is 50 years. Please enjoy it fully.】
Thank you, I will cherish life.
Su Xin remembered the last world where Qu Xingchen stabbed her in the heart, and she couldn’t help but want to stab back.
Su Xin’s fishtail flicked a bit, and she swam a little towards the pool because the person on the big bed in the bedroom moved.
Li Yunxi woke up from the big bed, yawned, and walked towards Su Xin in her slippers, still drowsy.
She leaned on the transparent glass of the pool, looking at Su Xin who was locked inside, and smiled.
“Good morning, Miss Mermaid.”
Su Xin glanced at her coldly and turned her back on her.
The pool was three-sided and half-surrounded, made of special material. Initially, the glass was directly shattered by the original owner, and the second princess almost got scratched when she tried to touch her.
The original owner showed great aggression, so the re-constructed pool’s glass was made of the thickest glass from the latest research, and the half-surrounded shape prevented the original owner from escaping.
To be honest, Su Xin could hardly believe that the girl who was just leaning on her glass was the legendary ruthless and swift War of God. The princess appeared gentle and harmless, exuding a soft and cute vibe. Most importantly, she had a loli face.
Her face, like that of a mixed-race child, had deep and delicate features, resembling a doll with a bit of baby fat, making anyone who sees her for the first time exclaim how cute she is.
With black hair and black eyes, her drowsy look while rubbing her eyes made people want to hold and protect her.
But such a person is the War of God, a real and solid title, making Su Xin feel the danger.
Li Yunxi touched her nose. Today, Miss Mermaid was still unhappy and did not show her a good face.
But it’s to be expected. There’s no way she would show her a good face, considering Li Yunxi was currently trying to invade the sea region, and humans and mermaids had become enemies.
Li Yunxi was also quite confused. She didn’t know that the beautiful, scarred woman she casually picked up from the seaside was actually a mermaid from the sea. But since she fell into her hands, it wouldn’t be easy for her to leave.
After washing up, Li Yunxi leisurely ate breakfast near where Su Xin was.
Su Xin faced the wall, her hand twining around the artificially planted seaweed.
From behind came a sound, something being thrown into the water.
A freshwater grass carp was thrown in, frolicking in the water. Su Xin looked disdainfully at the fish swimming back and forth in the water, grabbed it, and threw it out.
Unexpectedly, this fish was supposed to be her breakfast. In fact, the owner of this body had been fasting for three whole days since being brought here.
Mermaids feed on fish from the sea. Humans cannot enter the seas where there are mermaids, but there are still many lakes inland and they can also cultivate fish artificially, so seafood is not lacking.
The original owner, Wei Er Ya, did not eat this food because of racial dignity. Su Xin did not eat it because she found it distasteful.
Although mermaids indeed eat raw food, as it is impossible to have cooked food in the ocean.
Their eating method is primitive and rough—just grabbing and gnawing directly. Therefore, these beautiful creatures are not beautiful at all when eating.
If Su Xin were to eat this fish, she wouldn’t even need to clean the fish scales; she could just bite into it. But doing so would inevitably result in the originally clean pool being polluted by the blood of the grass carp, and Su Xin would end up with a mouthful of scales. Even if Su Xin told herself it was sashimi, it would still not work.

Su Xin currently found it hard to accept this method of eating, which was similar to eating raw meat and drinking blood, despite being very hungry now.
Wei Er Ya had a big appetite, and Su Xin, who inherited this body, felt the same.
Su Xin flicked her blue fish tail and sank to the bottom of the pool, sitting in the small shell-shaped nest that Li Yunxi had specially made for her.
Li Yunxi saw the fish continuously bouncing at her feet and had someone come to tidy it up.
“Miss Mermaid, do you want to starve to death in my fish tank? However, that wouldn’t be too bad. Once you starve to death, I can send you to the research institute. They can dissect your genetic structure and develop weapons specifically to deal with your kind. Perhaps there might even be artificially created mermaids.”
Li Yunxi said leisurely, but the words that came out were filled with cruelty.
Never underestimate humans, because you never know what kind of astonishing things are hidden in their brains.
They are the weakest and also the strongest.
Wei Er Ya might not believe this kind of threat, but Su Xin believed it. Human scientific research has already reached a very astounding level. This is the future dimension.
Humans can create robots and study genetics. Su Xin had no doubt about the truth in the second princess’s words, so she gently moved her body.
“I only like living pets, do you understand, Miss Mermaid? A dead pet holds no attraction for me.”
Li Yunxi tapped on the glass of the pool and said with a smile.
“I am not a pet.”
Su Xin swam out from the water and clung to the glass wall, her pair of ocean-colored eyes staring at Li Yunxi, filled with undisguised anger.
Li Yunxi was momentarily stunned by those fierce eyes that seemed to contain the entire ocean. She touched Su Xin’s face with her fingertips through the glass.
“So you can talk. I thought mermaids were just animals and couldn’t communicate with humans.”
Su Xin flicked her tail and ignored her.
Mermaids are truly beautiful creatures that should live in legends, Li Yunxi thought.
The swaying fish tail was not ugly; it was like a gift carefully carved by nature. The fine scales disappeared at the abdomen, revealing a cute belly button from the front.
Blonde hair should belong to the sunlight, not the ocean. As she swayed in the water, Li Yunxi thought that if this mermaid were in the sea, she would be even more beautiful, like a goddess of the ocean.
“Miss Mermaid, since you’ve spoken to me, how about we have a chat?”
Su Xin turned her back to Li Yunxi in defiance, pretending not to hear what she was saying.
The current situation was very bad. Su Xin could be fearless in the water, but once on land, she was like a useless fish. She was confined in this large pool, and even if she could break through the glass that kept her from leaving, she couldn’t drag her tail away. Even if she could turn into legs, they had no strength. Moreover, staying out of the water for too long would kill her.
Without anyone’s help, Su Xin couldn’t possibly escape from here, let alone return to the deep sea and become the queen.
Seeing that Su Xin was ignoring her, Li Yunxi continued her harassment with great interest, further provoking Su Xin.
“I heard mermaids are very fierce. You indeed destroyed quite a lot of our things, but I think you are very obedient. How come you were injured all over and lying on the shore that day? Aren’t mermaids supposed to be the rulers of the ocean? How could anything attack you?”
Li Yunxi was quite interested in this.
Su Xin was hungry, very, very hungry. Without energy, how could she even think about escaping? So she demanded some food she could eat.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
“I’m hungry.”
Su Xin floated on the water’s surface, making her demand to Li Yunxi. As for Li Yunxi’s questions, what did they have to do with her? Did she need to answer them?
“Didn’t I just give you food? You didn’t eat it yourself.”
Li Yunxi interlaced her fingers and sat on the chair.
Could it be that mermaids don’t eat fish? But in the sea, if they don’t eat fish, what do they eat?
“Change it.”
Su Xin faced Li Yunxi and demanded rather forcefully.
“Has no one ever taught you that as a prisoner you shouldn’t speak to your enemy this way?”
“Forget it if you won’t.”
Su Xin’s brows were filled with irritation. After all, she wasn’t human now, so no matter what Li Yunxi said, she could pretend to understand but play dumb.
“What do you want to eat?”
“What you’re eating.”
Her Highness the Second Princess recalled her breakfast well: delicious seafood porridge and tasty vegetable cakes. A mermaid wants to eat this?
“You eat cooked food?”
Li Yunxi’s expression was rather peculiar.
Su Xin nodded.
“Don’t try to deceive me just because I haven’t read much. Where in the ocean would you get cooked food?”
Her Highness the Second Princess expressed doubt about this. Does she look like someone who hasn’t read much? How could there be cooked food under the sea? She’s not foolish.
“Forget it if you won’t.”
Su Xin again bluntly threw out the same response.
“I’ll have someone prepare it for you. I can’t let my dear mermaid lady starve, can I?”
Li Yunxi walked out the door, and Su Xin nodded in satisfaction.
Li Yunxi personally brought Su Xin seafood porridge and vegetable cakes. She pressed a button by the pool, and the glass lowered a layer, allowing Su Xin to have her chest above the water and be exposed to air.
“Here, eat.”
Su Xin vividly and expressively demonstrated to the Second Princess what it means to eat like a savage. She picked up the seafood porridge and took a big gulp, then her expression suddenly changed.
When has a mermaid ever eaten cooked food? They don’t even know what “hot” or “scalding” means. Although this bowl of seafood porridge wasn’t freshly cooked and was at a warm temperature suitable for humans to eat directly, to a mermaid’s tongue, it was nothing less than torturously scalding.
Su Xin’s eyes instantly teared up from the heat, but she endured it without spitting out the porridge. She shoved the bowl into Li Yunxi’s hand and immediately dove back into the water.
She could breathe underwater, not relying on her nose. Su Xin stuck out her tongue, letting the cold pool water cool it down.
With tearful eyes, Su Xin complained to Fourteen that she thought she wasn’t afraid of heat because the porridge felt warm to her hand.
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
【Do you think what you think is what you think?】
Fourteen’s tone was indifferent as it added salt to the wound.
Su Xin wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and remarked that, apparently, mermaid tears don’t turn into pearls after all.
【Host, let me remind you, you are just a future mermaid, not an ancient Jiaoren (鲛人 – mythical merfolk in Chinese folklore) or a Mary Sue of seven colors.】
Oh.
Li Yunxi held the bowl, lost in thought. The mermaid lady’s aggrieved look was quite interesting.
The author has something to say:
Su Xin: Why don’t my tears turn into pearls!
Fourteen: Tears are a weakly acidic, transparent, colorless liquid, mostly composed of water, and contain small amounts of inorganic salts and proteins…
Su Xin: [forcefully interrupts] Alright, shut up!
Those women who keep saying they want to divorce me and want me to leave with nothing, I just want to say one thing: You can take care of the children yourselves, humph!
