I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players-Chapter 579 - 68: The Human Race’s Bootlicker

"This city is not bad."

Meiling Ran sat on the sedan chair carried by four noble Sea Race maidens, gazing around with a proud expression.

"The aesthetics match our race... it's just a pity they're so kind to these lowly fish-legged ones."

To him, these lowly Sea Race commoners fawning over and liking him was utterly normal, like dogs.

Because they were too beautiful.

No fish could resist their piteous expressions, no creature could resist them.

Those with low Realm could not resist. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Those in the same Realm had strong resistance to soul magic, yet would gradually fall under their beauty over time.

Even those of High Realm...

could not resist.

Their beauty ignored all cultivation, wisdom, logic, Realm in the world...

There was no way.

They were these incomparably beautiful deep sea creatures!

Any creature that saw their true form would feel it's an unparalleled distortion, powerful, enchanting, profound, insane... as if they were seeing the beauty of the ocean itself.

Given enough time, even the exalted Saints would find it impossible to resist their allure, keep them in a fish tank, letting them display their beauty.

Historically, some of their outstanding clansmen even charmed Sea Race Saints, Human Dynasty Saints, becoming disastrous Demon Consorts, leaving a dramatic mark in history!

Some Upper Grade Spiritual Roots exceed Celestial Spirit Roots in defying Heaven.

Their family Divine Techniques fall into this category!

However, their Spiritual Roots were not Celestial Spirit Roots because they had too many side effects.

Their admiration gauge for life's accumulated [❥] affection points had no limit.

But when their charm reached a certain threshold, the other party would become heavily addicted to their bodies, kidnap them, madly lick their bodies, eventually devouring them!

They were the most beautiful creatures, in some creatures' eyes, also becoming the most delicious food.

So.

A lot of awkward things would happen easily in combat.

Charm too low, it merely disturbed the opponent's heart mind, aiding combat, the opponent still wanted to kill them.

Charm moderate, the opponent fell for their beauty, unable to refuse their requests.

Charm excessive, the opponent was deeply obsessed, insane, distorted, desired to consume them, still wanted to kill them.

The control over their techniques was a bit hard to manage!

But the power of their Divine Techniques was indisputable.

"This beautiful city suits our Meiling Fish race well."

"But these lowly commoners do ruin the scene a bit."

Thinking this, he suddenly saw the famous detective Yan Shuangying investigating a case by the roadside, surrounded by a crowd.

He couldn't help but step closer, "Is this an investigation?"

As a sea-going noble who admired Human Race culture, even having studied for three years as an exchange student at the Xirong Academy in the neighboring Xinyi Continent City and attempting to charm the Sword Fairy.

He was very interested in the reasoning of scholars.

Because over on the Human side, following the trails of mysterious cases was quite popular, and each city had specific institutions conducting highly involved investigations.

"Make way, let me take over."

Meiling Ran spoke with a chilly voice.

No creature could refuse him, they all silently cleared a path, looking at him with fanatical stares like fans of a pop star.

"How can the Sea Race investigate? Our backward, corrupt, barbaric region, when a murder occurs, always just coerces confessions and covers for the real culprit."

"The local Government Office City Lords are all just decorations, colluding with merchants, way too corrupt..."

"However, I've heard that recently you've been emulating the Human Race, doing a pretty decent job... I just came back from the famous Xirong Academy in Nine-State Human Race, learned some reasoning, I can help."

Meiling Ran casually looked at Yan Shuangying.

"Ah, a distinguished guest from afar." Yan Shuangying revealed a look of pleasant surprise, cupping his fist as he spoke, "This case is a locked-room fish murder with no trace of remains, very peculiar... I have hit a wall in my thoughts, please enlighten us."

"Oh?" Meiling Ran's eyes immediately lit up.

He didn't care about the lives of these lowly commoners.

But exhibiting his unique scholarly talent as a sea-going noble here, solving a case with knowledge acquired from studying and learning among the Human Race, demonstrating his elegance, was quite appealing too.

He had studied these subjects.

The Human Race Academy focused on cultivating well-rounded talents, solving cases, pursuing criminals... they were basic subjects testing wisdom.

Because, many times, tomb raiding, exploring Secret Realms, relied on this kind of puzzle-solving knowledge.

It could be said that every High Tier Human cultivator was essentially adept at solving cases and had a keen mind.

Tomb raiding, sneaking into ancient tombs, could anyone do it without some tricks?

Otherwise, how could they disgust the tomb owners to the point of ghosts wailing, and make those neutral tombs on the backside of the nursery rebel in disgust?

"But here, why are there no corpses?"

Meiling Ran recalled the knowledge of solving crimes, the first one being to inspect the corpse. But the lack of corpses made him perplexed.

"Master, we Sea Race are unique."

Yan Shuangying said in a deep voice: "Friends who have killed fish know that the biggest challenge of obliterating bodies is controlling one's own appetite."

Meiling Ran: ???

He was greatly shocked.

How come the unsolved cases of the Human Race and those of the Sea Race are cracked in entirely different ways? Are the corpses generally eaten here?

He felt a bit embarrassed.

However, fortunately, Yan Shuangying continued to lead him step by step in solving the case, calmly flattering him, making him a great detective, ultimately solving the case.

Only those who can break through the Two-Phase Realm have undeniable talent and insight. Just a hint is enough.

"The murderer is you!"

Meiling Ran pointed at a Steamed Fish sub-human watching the drama at the crime scene after committing the crime.

That Steamed Fish sub-human turned red with anger, acting with remarkable skill: "How are you so sure it's me? I'm just here for the drama! Do you think you can spew nonsense just because you're handsome!"

"Hmph, the evidence is clear. First... you poisoned the other party with your flesh." Meiling Ran said: "If I'm not mistaken, it's from your buttock, right? Your walking posture is very odd..."

He started listing various pieces of evidence, "If you take off your pants, it should prove it..."

"You're lying! I was just injured!"

The Steamed Fish sub-human, like a scene from a crime-solving drama, seemed to be exposed, his face gradually twisted, "If it was really me, why would I stay at the scene!"

"According to the Human Race's investigation records, some murderers just love staying at the crime scene... Let me ask you, are you the murderer!?"

Meiling Ran enjoyed this pressing approach, watching the other party show an ugly side, giving him the feeling that his intelligence was at a high ground.

No fish can resist showing off, especially this scholar-like Mu Mermaid... wait, Mu Mermaid.

"I!..." The Steamed Fish sub-human hesitated.

Meiling Ran said lightly: "Think it through, no fish can refuse me... tell the truth."

The Steamed Fish sub-human trembled all over, knelt on the ground, bawling:

"I didn't want to, this guy, he loves eating our kind the most, even killing us... I wanted him to taste the pain of being eaten."

The murderer confessed and admitted guilt, angrily glaring at the opponent: "It's you! If it weren't for you! Even the great detective Yan Shuangying couldn't see through my plan, I admit defeat, your ability is greater than Detective Yan Shuangying!"

"I don't submit to Yan Shuangying, only to you!"

Meiling Ran secretly delighted, but still politely said: "Our Sea Race is too backward, many investigative techniques are immature. I've barely studied for two years, and I've already surpassed the local great detectives."

"I still have a long way to go." He spoke lightly.

The unsolved case was cracked, and everyone cheered.

"No wonder he's the master."

"Yes, the master is simply a great detective!"

"So amazing!"

"The master's divine techniques prevent criminals from dodging or lying, it makes him the best candidate to be a great detective, upholding justice for us common folks!"

"So great."

"Master, I want to produce caviar for you!"

...

The crowd cheered.

Yan Shuangying handed over a knife, "Master, such wisdom makes me admire, please execute the criminal personally to set things right."

"Okay." Meiling Ran, cultured and refined, took the knife and executed the culprit, feeling more pleased within.

Looking at Yan Shuangying, he felt like he had found a kindred spirit.

Next, they went to a tavern to drink tea and discuss Human Race culture, and even shared some study abroad experiences of the Human Race.

Meiling Ran kept bragging, feeling very proud, and talking about how great the Xirong Divine Craftsman is, how noble and elegant the Human Race is, and how sweet the air on land is.

He wanted to be the Sword Fairy's dog, to be a mount but was rejected.

But the saintess of their race still remains in the Academy, ready to charm the possible appearing Xirong Divine Craftsman, to marry such a great hero.

The Sea Race men and women are weak, ugly, vulgar, relieving themselves everywhere; only the Human Race men and women are true aristocrats.

This left everyone stunned.

The Sea Race's insider is really incredible.

And Yan Shuangying also saw through it, secretly feeling pleased: "This guy seems easy to handle, getting him, fooling his true body over shouldn't be a problem."
