Chapter 617 The Taste of Mermaid
Chapter 617 The Taste of Mermaid
In legends, mermaids are a very beautiful race, especially mermaid women, who are also called "mermaids" in the far west.
There are also records of mermaids in Eastern legends: Mermaids are found in the East China Sea. The big ones are five or six feet long and look like humans, with eyebrows, eyes, mouth, nose, hands, claws, and head like those of beautiful women. Their skin is white as jade, without scales, but with fine hair of five colors, light and soft, and one or two inches long.
That record also mentioned that if humans in coastal areas captured mermaids, they would dig a pond at home and raise them for easy sex. The mermaids would not resist and would never hurt anyone.
The two real mermaid girls were indeed as beautiful as described in the records, with delicate and fair skin, which was a great visual enjoyment to look at.
But there is one detail that has not been mentioned, and that is the experience.
The smell of aquatic creatures is actually very consistent. Imagine what fish smells like, and then no matter how beautiful a mermaid girl is, she will smell the same.
This smell comes from a kind of mucus secreted by the sweat glands in the mermaids' skin. This mucus allows them to swim very fast in the water even though they have no scales.
Perfume was invented a long time ago in the Demon Alliance because some female demons living on land have the same problem. After transforming, they look very similar to humans and are very beautiful, but they have a unique smell of animals.
Even the fox who is best at transforming into a human is known as a "slutty fox". Wen Rui once offered perfume to Daji and avoided cruel political persecution by keeping a low profile.
A vixen, full of sexiness.
Then the mermaid has a fishy smell, full of the flavor of the sea.
Unlike vixen who can use perfume to cover up their body odor, mermaids live in water, so perfume cannot stay on their bodies. Only those who can tolerate the fishy smell can have close contact with them and have fun playing with them.
Coral City is not without foreign monsters and long-term residents. There are not many monsters on land that like fishy smells, and monsters often have a keen sense of smell and are very sensitive to strange smells.
The same is true for humans. It's like you see a beautiful woman, but she has strong body odor, foot odor and bad breath. In this case, even if she takes the initiative to throw herself into your arms, you have to consider whether it is worth it.
Although there are many beautiful women in the mermaid tribe, it is very difficult for mermaid girls to find their ideal husbands. This is a social phenomenon in various cities all over the world formed by the combination of many factors, and personal experience also plays a very important role.
Another important influencing factor is the racial division of the mermaids.
Wen Rui has completed the human genome compilation project and is currently collecting monster genes to conduct genetic analysis of the entire monster population.
According to genetic analysis, mermaids cannot be strictly classified as monsters; they are closer to a subspecies of humans.
This makes the sea monsters naturally repel mermaids. They do not think that mermaids are their own kind and have a so-called reproductive isolation perception, just like people do not have any sexual interest in crabs. The sea monsters look at mermaids, even if their appearance is as beautiful as fairies from the human aesthetic, in the eyes of the sea monsters they are just weird hairless water monkeys.
Of course, for the old pervert Wen Rui, just a little bit of taste is not an insurmountable problem.
His water monkey appearance is fake, and his true self is still human, but he can change the smell at will by simply adjusting the nanorobot's control over the olfactory nerve receptors.
As for why Kong Xuan didn't care, Wen Rui, who was listening from the side, found it incomprehensible. Perhaps it was because he had a high level of Taoism, or perhaps he had reached a certain level in Buddhist practice and was no longer bothered by the material world.
Wen Rui's words were half true and half false, but the pink-haired mermaid girl's eyes lit up when she heard it, as if she had received great praise, and it was praise from the heart.
The expression of this cute little monkey changed, as if he had met a rare confidant. The water monkey that Wen Rui transformed into was not a beautiful monkey among monkeys. Compared with the Yuxiong King he had transformed into, it could be said to be hideous.
The water monkey is a creature that has become extinct in modern times and is considered a legendary creature.
The creature whose appearance can be used as a reference is the Kappa from Japan, which has a pointed chin and a large bald spot on its head. Its shape and movements naturally carry a hint of vulgarity.
The only thing that makes the water monkey better than the kappa is that it has a little more hair on its body, that's all.
It's definitely the kind of ugly that would make humans think it's a monster and be scared.
But the pink-haired mermaid girl didn't care at all. After all, when it comes to aesthetics, demon women have always been confused and each has their own taste, especially the aquatic demons.
Beauty and ugliness depend on who you compare with. Even a kappa's appearance, compared with the sea creatures with shrimp heads, crab heads, turtle heads, and fish heads, may be considered a great beauty.
The body shape of monkeys is closer to that of humans, and they look more pleasing to the mermaids.
As soon as they met, Wen Rui won the favor of the mermaid policewoman's best friend and they quickly started chatting.
On the contrary, the main characters, Kong Xuan and Li Lan'er, looked very shy and reserved. They chose their words carefully, as if they were afraid of saying something wrong and causing disgust to the other party.
As Kong Xuan's loyal wingman, Wen Rui naturally would not let the atmosphere become dull, and he immediately suggested that everyone go to the best restaurant in the city for dinner together.
So the two monsters and the two mermaids traveled together to their destination.
Soon, they arrived in front of a wooden building with flying eaves that was decorated in a very simple and elegant style. On the building hung an exquisite plaque with three seal characters "Shanzhenlou" inscribed on it.
In the underwater city, eating seafood is no different from eating radishes and cabbages, but wild delicacies are extremely rare. As the saying goes, rare things are valuable. This restaurant is the most upscale dining place in Coral City.
"Shanzhenlou?"
When the two mermaid girls saw the plaque, they realized that the water monkey Wen Rui was going to host a banquet for them. The two girls looked at each other and shook their heads. Li Laner said, "It's better not to eat here. It's too expensive. And you need to make a reservation to dine here. Not only can ordinary people not afford it, they are not even qualified to eat here."
"Don't worry, we are in the business of transporting wild delicacies. We are the supplier of this restaurant. If you want to make an appointment, you just need to say hello to the boss."
Wen Rui just lied without thinking. He was always rigorous in what he did. Even if he disguised his identity casually, he would prepare a biography and make up a complete identity story. He was not afraid of being exposed.
As for the reservation, this restaurant is owned by the Chamber of Commerce. Wen Rui only needs to report a VIP card number within the Chamber of Commerce to enjoy the highest level of treatment. Even if the Lord of Coral City comes to compete with him for a private room, the manager of Shanzhenlou will not give the Lord face.
"Trafficking in wild delicacies? No wonder... I heard that it's very difficult to get a license to operate wild delicacies, but it's a hot business."
Li Liuer's eyes lit up again when she heard that, and the look she gave the water monkey became more colorful.
