Chapter 249 Tianhaimen Breeding Farm

Chen Yang looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and then couldn't help but look at the two horns on her head.

At this moment, Zhou Fen was also sizing up Chen Yang. The two looked at each other and observed each other.

Zhou Qing, standing nearby, couldn't help but chuckle. She clapped her hands and said, "See, sister! I told you you'd be interested in human men! Great, I've fulfilled your dying wish!"

Zhou Fen blushed slightly, then immediately turned and glared at Zhou Qing, saying, "Don't be so rude! Go and prepare some food to entertain this young master."

Zhou Qing nodded and said, "Okay, sister! You chat with Chen Yang, I'll go cook. Also, sister, I want to emphasize again, I'm your younger brother, not your younger sister!"

As she spoke, Zhou Qing walked over to Chen Yang, winked at him, and whispered, "Chen Yang, it's up to you! Don't forget, there are 70 spirit stones involved!"

Chen Yang was startled and quickly nodded to Zhou Qing to show his understanding.

Zhou Qing chuckled and turned to leave.

Thinking of the 700,000 spirit stones, Chen Yang's enthusiasm immediately surged. He became more proactive, walking towards Zhou Fen and saying, "Miss Zhou, you're quite pretty. What's that horn on your head?"

Zhou Fen blushed slightly, then said, "Our race grows these horns after reaching adulthood. So, you land-dwelling humans really don't have horns?"

Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Are you human too?"

Zhou Fen nodded and said, "Of course! Aren't we all the same human beings?"

Chen Yang scratched his head and said, "You look a bit like Little Dragon Man."

Zhou Fen asked curiously, "What do you mean by 'Little Dragon People'? Oh, it's said that our ancestors had the blood of horned dragons, which is why we have two horns on our heads when we grow up. Calling us Little Dragon People is quite fitting."

After listening, Chen Yang suddenly realized why he couldn't sense any demonic aura from Zhou Qing. It seemed that he wasn't a demon after all. Or rather, the Zhou Fen and Zhou Qing sisters were also human, just humans who lived in the water, and were a different branch of humanity!

Chen Yang couldn't help but exclaim, "That's truly amazing! I never imagined there was another kind of human being in this world, and that you could even live underwater!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Fen sighed slightly and said, "Yes, although we are all human, if it weren't for my sister's special ability to breathe on land, I would never have seen you people living on land in my entire life."

Chen Yang sighed slightly, then said to Zhou Fen, "Miss Zhou, you're quite pretty. Do whatever you want to do next, and I'll cooperate unconditionally!"

As he spoke, Chen Yang took off his coat.

Zhou Fen was stunned for a moment when she saw this, then her face turned red. She quickly said to Chen Yang, "Young Master Chen, what are you doing?"

Chen Yang said, "Didn't Zhou Qing say you wanted a man before you died? Don't be shy, I'll definitely satisfy you, and I'm happy to do so. Just come on, don't worry!"

Zhou Fen's face flushed even more. She quickly went over, grabbed Chen Yang's clothes, and pulled them up, saying, "Young Master Chen, please have some self-respect! You've really misunderstood!"

At this point, Zhou Fen couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Chen Yang looked at Zhou Fen with a puzzled expression.

Zhou Fen said, "Okay, I admit it. I haven't seen a man since I was a child. My father died when I was very young, and there are very few of us left in the entire merfolk race. In recent years, only my sister and I are left alive. In fact, to be precise, only my sister will be able to live in the future, because she is a natural mutant who can live both underwater and on land."

"The reason I told her I wanted to meet a man, and asked her to bring over the man she liked best and felt safest and most reliable, was actually because I wanted to find her a man she could entrust her life to, not because I really wanted a man!"

At this point, Zhou Fen couldn't help but roll her eyes at Chen Yang, then covered her mouth and laughed.

Chen Yang was completely dumbfounded when he heard this—so Zhou Fen was going to find a man for Zhou Qing?

Chen Yang quickly said, "Wait, I'm so confused! Zhou Qing says he's your younger brother, but you keep saying he's your younger sister. What's going on?"

Zhou Fen quickly said, "Our merfolk are a bit special. Before we reach adulthood, our gender isn't very obvious. Since it's just Zhou Qing and me living here, and Zhou Qing has always been very brave and likes to protect me, she imagines herself as a man. In reality, she's a little sister, and in a few months, after she comes of age, she'll become even more beautiful than me."

Hearing this, Chen Yang finally understood. He couldn't help but blush and awkwardly said, "Then... I misunderstood. I thought Zhou Qing called me here because you wanted to sleep with me..."

Zhou Fen rolled her eyes at Chen Yang speechlessly, then sighed and said, "I don't have many months left to live. Before I die, the most important thing is to entrust my sister to someone else. As for my personal matters, they are no longer of any significance."

Chen Yang turned to Zhou Fen and asked, "Miss Zhou, I'm actually quite curious, why does it seem like your merfolk clan suddenly disappeared? And since you can live here, you should be able to live on land too, right?"

Zhou Fen shook her head and said, "I really can't go to land. We merfolk can only live underwater. This city in front of us is a space created by our ancestral treasure. It's filled with water vapor from the sea, which is why we can live here. But on land, the air is poison to us."

"Actually, I'm quite curious how Mr. Chen is able to live and breathe here. It's really strange."

Chen Yang understood; it seemed this place was different from the mainland.

Chen Yang explained, "I've practiced a technique that allows me to breathe underwater like a fish, so I can breathe freely here too. But what illness do you have? And what's wrong with your people?"

Zhou Fen sighed softly and pointed into the distance, saying, "It's not that I have any disease, but that the seawater here is completely polluted. Toxins have seeped into our living space, and my people have all died from the pollution."

Chen Yang was taken aback: "Pollution? What pollution?"

Zhou Fen shook her head and said, "It's a type of marine life farmed in Tianhaimen. That kind of marine life is extremely poisonous, and the bodily fluids and waste they excrete have polluted the entire sea area. In fact, not only is the seawater polluted, but I estimate that the land near the sea is also slowly being polluted."

Chen Yang looked at Zhou Fen in astonishment and said, "Tianhaimen? You actually know about Tianhaimen? The things Tianhaimen raises are contaminated, what exactly is going on?"

Zhou Fen said to Chen Yang, "If Young Master Chen still has the energy, I can take you to see it."

Chen Yang nodded and said, "Okay!"

Zhou Fen led Chen Yang away from the small building. When they reached the boundary, the two of them passed through the boundary of the light curtain and entered the seawater.

Although Zhou Fen was sickly, her strength was surprisingly formidable. In a flash, she transformed into a streak of light in the seawater and swam swiftly.

Chen Yang hurriedly followed behind Zhou Fen. This time, Chen Yang could only use all his strength to keep up with Zhou Fen's figure.

Zhou Fen was already slender and beautiful, and when she swam in the sea, her figure became even more graceful and charming.

The two swam for a full two hours. At this point, Chen Yang clearly felt that the seawater had become even colder, and Zhou Fen's body began to tremble.

Chen Yang immediately stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Fen's hand. Zhou Fen's hand was very cold, and her face was pale.

Then Zhou Fen pointed ahead, gesturing with her fingers, and said with difficulty through the seawater, "Young Master Chen, look! That's it! That's Tianhaimen's breeding farm ahead, and in that farm, Tianhaimen breeds highly poisonous creatures!"

Chen Yang cannot speak in the seawater like Zhou Fen.

He could only look up and strain to see.

Just 200 meters away, in the seawater, there was a huge black aquaculture net, scattered across the boundless ocean.

Within that giant net, countless blood-black creatures could be vaguely seen swimming freely in the seawater.

Chen Yang strained to see, and saw that the creatures were over 100 meters long and had an extremely ugly appearance. They were violently churning on the seabed, and a strange, blood-black aura was rolling around their bodies.

They look somewhat like plecos on Earth, but are much uglier and more terrifying, with their heads resembling disgusting giant faces!

Chen Yang looked at these creatures and frowned slightly.

Zhou Fen was shivering from the cold.

Chen Yang immediately pulled Zhou Fen along, and the two of them returned in the water.

This time, they swam for a full three hours before finally returning to the barrier.

Zhou Fen exhaled two breaths of stale air and then said, "That's the source of the pollution. Tianhaimen has set up hundreds of these breeding farms of all sizes on the entire seabed, each with thousands of those unknown creatures. Now, the entire seawater has been completely polluted by them."

Chen Yang frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, "Miss Zhou, wait for me!"

After arriving in the room, Chen Yang immediately opened his control panel and selected to consume spirit stones to evolve his alchemy skills.

He vaguely felt that this creature was related to a kind of alchemical ingredient from the Tianhai Sect.

However, his alchemy skills are currently only at the beginner level, and he doesn't quite understand them yet.

[Ding! Your Tianhai Sect alchemy technique has reached the minor completion stage, costing 10,000 spirit stones.]
