I am not a mermaid!

Chapter 1 Prologue

In the depths of the endless universe, there is a strange star field. There is only one planet here, a very huge water-blue planet, and there are endless aquatic races living in it.

The aquatic races on this planet are divided into two categories, deep-sea species and shallow-sea species, and the classification is based on the location where they live.

[-] meters below the sea level is the shallow sea, and all the species living here are shallow seas. Below [-] meters is the deep sea, where the deep-sea species live. There is a [-]-meter dark trench with no life in between. tunnel.

The deep sea does not mean that it is dark and dark. In the deep sea area below [-] meters, many seabed minerals, corals and fishes emit gentle and bright light, which makes this place beautiful.

"Is the old seven of the Banquet family divided today?"

In the emerald green seaweed, several fish-tailed creatures kept swimming, as if they were collecting something.

"No, it took more than 100 years to differentiate."

"There are eighteen cubs in the Yan family, and even the youngest one has been differentiated a year ago, but the seventh child has been delayed until now."

"If you want me to say, apart from his appearance, this old seventh of the Yan family doesn't look like us mermaids? He can't weave yarn, and he has a damn throat. He knows how to run around every day, looking for fish to fight, and forcibly shot a scorpion in 200 years. The title of Overlord of the Sea really embarrasses us mermaids."

"Hey hey, keep your voice down, if this reaches the ears of the old seven, you probably have to change the cave again."

……

The seventh son of the Yan family, as mentioned by several sharks, is closing his eyes in a cave at this moment, and is beginning to face his belated split, knowing nothing about the outside world.

Outside the cave, surrounded by nineteen mermen with different appearances and genders, they were discussing softly, each with worry in their eyes.

"The child's father, do you think the division of the old seven will be dangerous."

A female merman held the hand of a male merman, looking straight at the closed cave.

"Don't think about it, this kid is capable of raging the entire deep sea area, how can he not survive even a small division."

"Yes, mother, Seventh Brother is so powerful, he will be fine."

"Lao Qi is famous for worrying about whoever sees him. The Mother of the Ocean doesn't want to take him in. Don't worry."

"That's right, mother, differentiation is very simple. I just watched a rouge fish test and it succeeded."

……

Mermaids are born without gender, and only when they reach maturity will they experience gender differentiation. The process of differentiation is full of strange things, and the differentiation of each mermaid is different. There are no examples to refer to, but there is absolutely no danger to life.

The reason why everyone gathers here is really because Yan Qi is so special, the differentiation that normally occurs between the ages of 20 and 30 has lasted for 200 years with him.

Two days later, the closed cave was opened, and Yan Twelve, who was guarding the door, immediately notified the whole family, and in less than half a cup of tea, nineteen mermen surrounded Yan Qi's cave again.

Swimming out of the cave was a male merman. Seeing the group of relatives in front of him, Yan Qi showed an arrogant smile.

"I, Yan Qi, are back again."

"It's okay, it's okay."

……

After a while of pleasantries——

"Seventh Brother Seventh Brother, what did you see when you split?"

Yan Qi's smile suddenly stopped when he heard this sentence, his complexion was like a neon light under the sea, changing constantly, which aroused everyone's curiosity even more.

The period of gender differentiation is nothing more than welcoming adulthood. Basically, the scenes seen during differentiation are different but similar, either directly or after a melodrama, so that the mermaids can learn from it whether they like men or not. It is still a woman, so as to decide what to differentiate into.

This is almost well-known, so Yan Shiba who asked the question was really just asking casually.

It's a pity that in the end, everyone still didn't get the answer from Yan Qi, but the family members were fine, so they were relieved, the answer to the question was not important.

After everyone expressed condolences, they each left. Yan Qi, who had finally calmed down, heaved a sigh of relief, made a bitter face, and went back to the cave.

Lying on the shell bed, a skinny little Douding appeared in Yan Qi's mind.

Why don't you want to tell your family——

The differentiation in adulthood is for the purpose of reproduction, and I don’t know if it’s because he has passed that age long ago. His gender differentiation is not due to sex/desire, but because of a, how to say, old father-style The heart of protection?

This kind of unheard of method will definitely become the laughing stock of the entire deep sea area if it is spoken out, and must be tightly suppressed.

But the main reason is not here.

Although Yan Qi has not experienced differentiation before, he is very clear that the so-called differentiation is actually the soul out of the body. The range is in the deep sea area or the shallow sea area above. Except for aquatic races, other creatures cannot appear. .

But he is different. The place where his soul left his body this time was neither the deep sea nor the shallow sea, but a place where a kind of "human" lives everywhere. The creatures there walk on two feet and are surrounded by It is not sea water, but light air.

The thing his soul is attached to is a domestic robot that was thrown in the garbage station and is about to be destroyed. He also picked up a little dumb when he saw something novel, and the two of them struggled to survive in the garbage station.

Fortunately, he is smart, and after getting to know the situation for a day or two, he formally took on the responsibility of the owner, relying on the work of 'picking up trash', and fed the skinny little mute a few catties of meat.

The two of them lived together at the garbage station for nearly two years, and then one day, a subordinate of the husband of the man who claimed to be the best friend of the little dumb mother’s mother came, driving a plane that Yanqi had never seen before, and wanted to pick up the little dumb .

Yan Qi has already realized that his differentiation is about to be completed, and his soul will definitely go back in a short time. It is impossible to leave the little mute alone in this kind of place, so he agreed.

He took the little mute and sat on the thing called the spaceship. After many days, he finally arrived at a clean and beautiful place.

Here, he saw a beautiful female, a fierce male standing beside her, and a doll that was bigger than the little mute standing beside them.

Sharks are very sensitive to emotions, and it is easy to tell if they are sincere or not. He can feel that the beautiful female wants to protect the little mute. As for the male, although there is not much emotion on his face, he can't see it Disgust should be called indifference, which is not surprising.

The parting came quickly, and before the handover ceremony officially started, Yan Qi felt the feeling of being separated from his soul, so fast that he didn't even have time to say goodbye.

Each mermaid can only be differentiated once, and this kind of soul can only come out of his body once, no matter whether everything he experienced is true or not, whether it is a dream or an illusion, there is no possibility of him and the little mute meeting again.

Yan Qi closed his eyes and sighed in his heart, since we won't see each other anyway, it doesn't really make any difference whether we say goodbye or not.

I hope the life of the little dumb will go smoothly in the future.

After the differentiation was over, Yan Qi returned to the previous state, but this time, he set his sights on the shallow sea.

The deep sea is already buzzing. It's time to go to the shallow sea. I heard that there is a silver-tailed alien with extraordinary combat power...

Saying goodbye to his family, amidst the inseparability of his loved ones and the happy (wishful) farewell of other creatures in the deep sea area, Yan Qi left the deep sea and plunged headlong into the dark trench tunnel.
