Chapter 1598: Chapter 495 Dissection (Part 2)

For all the land races, the mystery of the merfolk cannot be summarized in a few simple words.

The most unimaginable thing for the land races would probably be the marital lives of merfolk couples—because if judged by conventional means, the mere act of two fish tails bumping into each other seems... well... doesn’t it feel a bit lacking in actual substance?

Isn’t that akin to two people without mouths colliding into each other as a form of kissing?

The ones who come up with such indecent and unspeakable thoughts, eagerly seeking answers, are driven less by boredom, gossip, emptiness, or suppressed desire, and more by sheer curiosity and an intrusive peeping complex.

The strongest trait of wisdom races is their intense thirst for knowledge. Even the dignified Witch King Clark Gabe is not above this universal tendency—let alone ordinary folks?

For Saint Chiao Liu Zhenhan, there are countless things in this world he doesn’t understand, but matters related to men and women? Those have never posed a problem for him.

The marital dynamics of merfolk do indeed involve a highly confidential racial characteristic. The improper speculations from outsiders are nothing more than wild, self-indulgent fantasies. On that note, if Liu Zhenhan hadn’t experienced it personally himself, he too might have thought astray.

The merfolk’s genealogy is no less complex than that of the elves. Using Sea Clan terminology from Seia, this expansive family can broadly be understood as "mermaids." A human body with a fish tail and tears that transform into pearls are the most prominent physiological traits of all mermaids. Just moments ago, the beautiful Racquel Vizhi had shed tears, essentially giving Old Liu the most definitive answer—beautiful mermaids unequivocally belong to the mermaid species. This cannot be doubted!

Up to now, Liu Zhenhan has personally encountered four types of mermaids: ocean mermaids, freshwater mermaids, Koutao merfolk, and poisonous mist mermaids. He has heard of two others: swamp mermaids and sculpture mermaids.

Swamp mermaids were casually mentioned earlier by the Druid Kaka, without much elaboration. But even before meeting Kaka, Old Liu had heard about this amphibious species of swamp mermaids. Although the Sunset Swamp is considered one of the great untamed forbidden zones of the Aegean Continent, some scraps of details are publicly known—swamp mermaids are skilled in flying daggers and have xenophobic tendencies.

It’s said that swamp mermaids can use the extraordinarily tough swamp reed leaves to weave nets and catch live prey—this characteristic closely resembles the traditional net-throwing technique of Beamon Wolf.

The "sculpture mermaids," on the other hand, originate from ancient hearsay passed down by Yun Qin travelers through the legend. They purportedly inhabit the southern shores of the Silk Continent’s Eastern Sea, and besides producing tear pearls, they possess exceptional weaving skills, crafting a highly valuable silkcloth known as "Jiao Silk," which is light as a feather and remains water-resistant.

For ordinary people, learning about so many types of merfolk is an unattainable feat. Across the Aegean Continent, if there’s one land creature that understands the merfolk the best, it’s undoubtedly Old Liu. This was evident just now when he bantered with Racquel Vizhi.

Whether it’s the beautiful mermaids living in the Sea of Mist or the mermaids residing in Seia Ocean, over the long ages, regardless of how their adaptations to the environment have led to divergent evolutionary paths, Liu Zhenhan can confirm one thing for sure—there is no physiological difference between mermaids and beautiful mermaids!

Mermaids and beautiful mermaids follow the same principles.

With this conclusion in mind, if one wishes to win over a beautiful mermaid lass, they can certainly use the same approach employed with the mermaids, step by step.

Beautiful mermaid Racquel Vizhi possesses naturally venomous bodily fluids. Ordinary people who harbor lustful ideas for her must first ensure they’re immune to all poisons. Additionally, beautiful mermaids are extraordinarily intelligent and sharp-witted. If one approaches her with a sinister grin, prepared for a violent conquest, she has self-destructive curses, formidable poison-based arcane arts, as well as defensive spells bolstered by Harmonious Pearl—all frighteningly powerful self-defense mechanisms!

Especially poison-based arcane arts—within the magical annals of the Aegean Continent, Great Magicians who delve deeply into poison magic are exceedingly rare, yet each one of them is renowned and awe-inspiring! Such magic is practically the ultimate shortcut—it can annihilate masses or duel one-on-one, killing effortlessly and invisibly!

If it weren’t for the profoundly self-destructive nature of poison magic, this magic branch would have long become the most widespread system across the entire Aegean Continent.

Liu Zhenhan tucked away his wolfish intentions and donned the façade of a gentleman, spending a full half day chatting tirelessly with beautiful mermaid Racquel Vizhi—reminiscing his glorious past and savoring the extreme adoration shining in the young lass’s eyes. He felt immensely gratified.

Liu Zhenhan was actually quite aware of Racquel Vizhi’s current emotions.

This lovely mermaid, despite listening to his verbose tales of victorious exploits, could probably figure out—even just by using her knees to think—that she must feel utterly bewildered at the moment, unable to make sense of anything.

Amid being utterly alone and at the end of her rope, Racquel Vizhi had developed a faint, unavoidable sense of familiarity and reliance on Old Liu, the foreign merfolk. This trust is built on an extremely weak foundation, elevated solely by Vizhi’s deep mistrust of the Demon Clan.

Getting her to fall in love with him instantly, and offer her body? Liu Zhenhan feels the charm isn’t quite there yet. In the Demon World, any wisdom creature skilled in arcane arts has a mental resistance that is anything but trivial. As for his ability to dazzle and beguile someone’s heart with "chaos-driven infatuation," inspiring mild attraction might be achievable. But to evoke raging love? Pure fantasy.
