I have the best bloodline.

However, as he tiptoed in, Su Yan felt that he was very cold, and there was a feeling that the ground was shaking as if he was on a boat, which made the little nine-tailed fox in his sleep feel like he was seasick.

Su Yan opened his eyes dazedly, met a pair of blue eyes, and his body rose and fell with her chest between her breaths. It was not an illusion that Su Yan felt very cold.

The mermaids usually live in the deep sea, and their body temperature changes with the environment. Generally speaking, the body temperature of mermaids is only one degree or 0.5 degrees higher than the ambient temperature.

It is now late autumn, and the pads on the four feet of foxes are used to dissipate heat.

Now the pads of the front feet are pressing on Jiao Nanwu's skin, and the hind feet are stepping on the silk clothes. The temperature is different, and coupled with Jiao Nanwu's low body temperature, it feels like being in an ice cellar for Su Yan.

"Ah"

Su Yan shuddered, exerted force on his front feet, and suddenly bounced off Jiao Nanwu's body, landing on the dormitory floor and transforming into a human form. He hugged his arms and began to rub them vigorously to increase the temperature.

The human form and the fox form feel very different. Su Yan's transformation is worthy of the name. When he was in the nine-tailed fox form, he relied on his tongue and meat pads to sense and dissipate temperature, but after transforming into a human form, he relied on his skin, just like humans.

"I almost froze to death. It was like licking an iron block in the middle of winter."

Su Yan squatted on the ground and rubbed his skin vigorously to increase the temperature, but even so, he would still shiver occasionally.

The fox was numb all over, and had no idea how long it had been pressing its paw pad against Jiao Nanwu to accumulate so much coldness, almost freezing itself into an arctic fox.

"?"

Jiao Nanwu showed a stunned expression on her face, looked at Su Yan squatting on the ground as if he had seen a ghost, and then looked at her own insulation suspension and winter nutrient storage board:

"Don't you like this? I remember that humans seem to be particularly fond of the insulation layer in front of me, and I thought foxes should also like the touch"

"To be honest, I still like it."

Su Yan complained in his heart. After all, in a situation like Jiao Nanwu, he would not dare to Photoshop so randomly in his previous life for fear that others would not know that it looked fake.

"Your body is so cold. My pads are my organs that sense temperature changes on weekdays." Su Yan explained, and looked at Jiao Nanwu who occupied his bed and asked: "Didn't you say you were going home? Why did you come to disturb my sleep so early in the morning?"

Last night, Jiao Nanwu said she was going home, and told the girls in the tribe that there were no majestic monsters here, and told her family casually that she would spend the winter in Xiayu.

How come she came back in the blink of an eye.

"My hometown is in the deep sea."

Jiao Nanwu showed an embarrassed expression on her face, and then explained her family situation to Su Yan:

"But because of business and trade, we all live in the underground water system, which is only 200 miles away from the main city of Xiayu. It's very fast to go back and forth. We only go back to our hometown when winter is coming."

Jiao Nanwu lives in the underground water system, which is like a trade transit station for the mermaids. The mermaids swim from the ocean to the developed underground water system of the primitive continent, and transport marine resources to land countries for commodity trade.

Then transport the materials of the land country back to the underwater kingdom.

Transporting in the underground water system is not as often attacked as doing business on land.

Although it is not as fast as the transportation of the fairy boat, it is still very popular because of its cheap transportation price.

Naturally, there are underground water transfer stations built by the mermaids in the underground water system.

Jiao Nanwu just went back to the transfer station and told her family that they would spend the winter in Xia Yu.

The round trip of about 400 miles is a blink of an eye for the mermaids. Jiao Nanwu even talked with her parents at home for a long time before coming out, otherwise she would come back in the early morning and wake Su Yan up with cold.

"I'll treat you to food, warm up, okay?" Jiao Nanwu looked at Su Yan who was squatting on the ground and rubbing his hands, and said embarrassedly.

It was her first time to meet a fox demon, and she didn't know the habits of fox demons, but she had seen Su Yan's behavior pattern that was no different from that of humans before, and thought that he would also like her soft and sticky insulation layer.

But she didn't expect to make a big mistake.

Jiao Nanwu was a little embarrassed and wanted to ask Su Yan for snacks to get the little fox's forgiveness.

"I can't control my body temperature. I haven't reached the transformation period in the demon race standard. The current human form is actually maintained by secret methods."

As he said, Jiao Nanwu unlocked his secret method.

Asking for votes for Monday

Chapter 21 Fishing Net

"I haven't transformed yet, and I can't control my body temperature very well."

Jiao Nanwu leaned on the bed and unlocked the secret method of the mermaids to maintain her human form. In Su Yan's eyes, Jiao Nanwu's body swelled slightly, and the originally white long legs turned into a fish tail, with scales on it like a dream, like gradient ink, dark blue mixed with light purple.

The ears also turned into wide fan-shaped fins, but the upper body did not change at all, and it still maintained its human form.

The original form of the mermaids is like a mermaid, with a human upper body and a fish lower body.

"We usually breathe through here."

Jiao Nanwu gently raised her hand and showed Su Yan the singularity of her skirt. There was an opening under her skirt. If you look inside, you can see that there is an opening at the rib position, which is like the structure of fish gills.

There are three openings on each side of the chest. Mermaids usually breathe in the water through the gills on both sides of their chests.

After the secret method is used to transform into a human form, all the characteristics of the mermaids will disappear, and they will breathe air through their noses like humans. However, the secret method of the mermaids cannot be maintained for a long time, and they must immerse their whole body in the river for one day every seven days to cool down.

Otherwise, forcibly maintaining the secret method of transformation will cause the mermaids to experience unbearable pain.

"What a fat fish tail."

Su Yan took a quick look at the original form of Jiao Nanwu and found that there was no change in his appearance. He still had a slightly dull face, but his body was taller than when he was in human form, and his chest and fish tail, which had accumulated fat for the winter, looked fatter and less flexible.

"Well, mermaids rarely move in winter, and our breeding season is in winter, so we will eat a lot in the fall to store some fat."

Jiao Nanwu didn't think there was anything wrong with being fat. She raised her hand and patted her large fish tail with gradient colors, letting Su Yan see what the physical meaning of meat waves was, and making the fat fish tail look soft and comfortable.

"Want to touch it?"

Jiao Nanwu fluttered her fish tail and asked Su Yan to pinch her fish tail, so that he, a fox, could also experience the smoothness of the mermaid scales.

Although the fur was also very soft, it was still not as smooth as the fine scales.

Su Yan touched it, and after a long pause, he said, "Some of the scales are like those of snake demons, very smooth and can feel slight temperature, not cold."

Without using the pads to feel the temperature, the body temperature of the merman tribe is slightly higher than the environment, and it does not feel as cold as before. Generally speaking, it feels quite comfortable

Just don't touch it for too long, otherwise it will stick to your hands.

Jiao Nanwu, who has recovered her true form, belongs to fish, and fish need to keep moisturized. When they leave the water and the surrounding humidity is not enough, they will secrete body fluids to ensure that their merman bodies can maintain appropriate humidity and will not make themselves feel uncomfortable on land.

Jiao Nanwu gave Su Yan a general introduction to the merman tribe, and then looked at Su Yan and asked, "Well, I am now just old enough to reproduce. When can your fox demon tribe have cubs?"

As she said that, Jiao Nanwu used the secret technique again to hide all her merman features, but her clothes were completely wet. Previously, because she felt that the humidity in the environment was not enough, she began to secrete body fluids to ensure that she would not become a fluttering dried fish in the blink of an eye due to dryness on land.

"About. In a few years?"

Su Yan made up a number casually. He was a relatively special individual. In the history of the nine-tailed fox clan, he should be the first hybrid with the dragon clan. There was no precedent to refer to when he could reach maturity.

"Hmm"

Jiao Nanwu looked at Su Yan and nodded, without telling Su Yan what he was thinking: "Then let's go!"

"Where to go?"

"I'll treat you to a meal, and grow up quickly after eating!"

Jiao Nanwu pulled Su Yan out, ready to take Su Yan out shopping.

………………

"What a dazzling sunlight."

From the back door of the brothel to the street, Su Yan was dazzled by the dazzling sunlight and could hardly open his eyes.

It was less than ten o'clock in the morning. On weekdays, Su Yan was still sleeping in the dormitory. He would get up and eat breakfast at noon. He would go out to the street with his aunt at three or four in the afternoon.

Then the shop opened in the evening. After Su Yan lived with his aunt, he was almost nocturnal. He hadn't tried to go out in broad daylight for a long time.

"Squeak——"

Su Yan stood at the back door of the brothel for a while, letting his eyes adapt to the morning sunlight, and happened to meet the three monkeys who went out to buy food in the morning.

The three monkeys pulled a fully loaded small cart, raised their hands to say good morning to Su Yan, and then parked the cart at the back door of the brothel, and moved the fresh food purchased in the morning from the small cart to the kitchen.

There were nearly thirty girls in the brothel, including some talented girls with cultivation, and their appetite was amazing.

The monkeys went to buy vegetables in the morning by pulling carts, otherwise they might not be able to carry so many ingredients.

"Squeak?"

The monkey looked at Su Yan and asked, and put his hand on the door as if asking Su Yan if he wanted to come in.

After Su Yan shook his head, the monkeys worked together to close the back door and began to sort the ingredients and pick vegetables, busy preparing for the breakfast for the talented women at noon, it was so lively.

".It turns out that food does not come out of thin air." Su Yan silently complained in his heart.

During the time he lived in the brothel, when he was hungry or had supper, his aunt would run to the kitchen in the backyard and bring out the dishes, so that Su Yan thought for a while that the meals in the brothel were all made by his aunt through some magic.

It was not until he met the monkey later that Su Yan realized that the room in the backyard that looked like a firewood room was actually a nanny's room.

Xia Yu did not burn firewood, they burned natural gas, and they only needed to dig a gas well in the ground, and a steady stream of natural gas would come out of the well.

It must be said that the living habits of the Xia Yu Dynasty were completely different from the area where Su Yan lived before.

There are no spirit monkeys in the Southern Province. When Su Yan's mother is too lazy to do housework, she usually takes a scoop net, waits for a while at the door of the Su Mansion, and fishes out some demon cultivators to work for her.

From washing clothes and cooking to mopping the floor and cleaning, the old mother relies on the scoop net to solve all the problems.

Su Yan was surprised when he first saw it, but later he got used to his mother's rough behavior and took it for granted.

Obviously it is a matter that can be solved by magic, but for the sake of some sense of ritual in life, the old mother likes to have people clean the courtyard at home and clean the fish pond with a brush.

In the southern state, fists are truth and cultivation is justice.

Mother Su was fond of his name, fostering a good family tradition and creating an excellent cultivation environment for Su Yan.

If you don’t want to be a cow or horse in the southern state, you can only practice hard to turn others into cows and horses.

If you don't practice hard, even if you go to a brothel, the girls will laugh at your poor cultivation, and say with a joking face: "It's so cute, like a child."

Fortunately.

Fishing with dip nets is prohibited in Xia Yu territory. Otherwise, without his mother, Su Yan would not know how many years it would take to reach Xia Yu's main city.

Chapter 22 Guillotine

Waiting for a moment at the back door of the hook, and waiting for his eyes to fully adapt to the outside light, Su Yan followed Nan Wu into the crowd and wandered on the main street of Xia Yu's main city. Nan Wu was about to take Su Yan to him Eating at an inn that I like very much on weekdays.

The two of them, one tall and one short, looked like a pair of siblings walking on the crowded streets.

"Want some of these?"

Nan Wu raised his hand and pointed to the roadside, pointing to the stall selling candied haws, and asked Su Yan for his opinion.

Su Yan took a look and nodded. He likes sweets.

Although the streets in Xia Yu's main city were not as spacious as the roads leading directly to the imperial city, they were still more than ten feet wide, which was equivalent to the width of about three to forty meters in Su Yan's previous life.

The roads in Xia Yu City are very wide. It is said that the roads were designed in this way because they were worried that when the palace nobles were traveling, they would be attacked by assassins ambushing on both sides of the road.

Even if there were assassins attacking in the buildings on both sides, people on the road would have enough time to react.

Assassin Su Yan had never seen it before. The spacious road only allowed more stalls.

From candied haws-glut stalls to busking stalls, everything is placed on both sides of the road, making the middle of the road very crowded.

"There is no urban management to copy the cards. It really doesn't fit the Xia Yu Dynasty's character who is obsessed with money."

Su Yan was walking on the road eating candied haws, looking around and complaining in his heart.

He usually goes out in the afternoon, and the roads at that time are not crowded. If it is really crowded, his aunt will lead Su Yan and walk across the sky, and will not really run into the crowd.

"Just go a little further and we'll be there!"

Nanwu raised his hand and pointed to the front, where he saw a high-rise inn built along the river. "Luoheju is a very unique inn in Xia Yu City. More than half of the inn's area is on the river. You can see a line of river scenery on the left and a line of river view on the right. to the bustling scenery of the city.”

Luoheju Inn has an all-wooden structure, and the overall structure is as smooth and stable as a towering tree rooted in the river.

Su Yan visually measured the approximate height and found that it should be an outrageous height of twenty-three to five feet.

In a city full of bungalows, a sixty- to seventy-meter-tall building rising from the ground is really outrageous.

My aunt's four-story fenced building is definitely no more than 20 meters tall, including the ceiling height. Luoheju Inn is located here like a modern building, even barely comparable to the height of the city wall, giving a panoramic view of the city.

If Luoheju didn't have any special background, Su Yan would never believe it.

If you stand on the top floor of Luohe Residence and bring a high-magnification telescope, you should be able to see the imperial city, right?
