Chapter 1200: The Mucus on the Jin Lin Mermaid
"You need an assistant familiar with the Deep Sea Zone, so it's best to bring Jiazi."
Liu Mengyun was genuinely considering Su Yang's interests.
Don't think only the monsters from the other world are powerful.
The monsters in our world aren't weak either.
At least Su Yang's strength hasn't reached the point of looking down on native monsters.
"Then take her!" Since Liu Mengyun had suggested it, Su Yang had no reason to refuse, "but that slot…"
"Give it to her. You need help now—the Federation isn't even stable yet, and this has already happened. I feel things will only get harder for us later! If we try to train another Xia Na, it'll take too long—we can't wait… Jiazi has a solid foundation and is talented enough to become a strong assistant quickly. Even if she becomes an Imperial-level Beast Tamer, it won't seem unusual, since she's already the top genius of her country and among the most gifted in the Federation's younger generation. Her rapid advancement is perfectly normal."
"Most importantly, Jiazi belongs to no faction… she's unlikely to cause problems."
Su Yang hadn't expected that Liu Mengyun, who once opposed giving Jiazi the slot, would now say so many arguments to convince him to hand it over.
In his heart, he felt an unexpected warmth.
"I'll follow your advice!"
"Mm!"
Jiazi hadn't been sent out on assignment by Liu Mengyun.
After Su Yang left, she was Liu Mengyun's key deputy.
Just half an hour later, Jiazi was recalled by Xia Na.
Su Yang, Liu Mengyun, Xia Na, and Jiazi gathered in Su Yang's office.
Liu Mengyun told Jiazi the full details of the incident.
Both Jiazi and Xia Na were deeply shocked.
They hadn't expected such a massive problem to arise in this world.
The fusion of the two worlds was like something out of a myth!
Jiazi asked softly: "So, Deputy Liu, you mean I should assist General Su?"
"Yes!" Liu Mengyun nodded. "One more thing—I've consulted General Su's opinion. For the coming period, General Su will help you cultivate a pet beast. This will give your pet beast a tremendous boost. Understood?"
Jiazi's gaze sharpened, and she suddenly looked at Liu Mengyun: "Is your Ice Moon Sprite, and Xia Na's crow, both like that?"
Liu Mengyun nodded.
Xia Na smiled: "We really owe this to General Su!"
At this point, Xia Na could no longer keep it secret.
From now on, Jiazi should be considered one of them.
"Talent and potential have limits. When those limits are reached, no amount of effort will make a difference… This opportunity is once in a millennium. From now on, you may gain infinite potential. Imperial-level Beast Tamer won't be your end—it'll be your starting point!" Liu Mengyun said softly. "I hope you won't waste General Su Yang's investment in you."
"I… I understand!"
Jiazi's body trembled slightly.
She clearly understood what Liu Mengyun meant.
But could Su Yang's ability really be that extraordinary?
She looked at Su Yang and saw his calm expression, as if he had already accepted Liu Mengyun's words.
She recalled Liu Mengyun's background.
Many in the Federation believed Liu Mengyun had been gifted since childhood, and with her father Seeing Liu Long giving her a solid foundation, her potential had further surged after joining Su Yang, allowing her to become an Imperial-level Beast Tamer so young.
But there were still some oddities.
Yet no one dared to dig deeper into Su Yang or Liu Mengyun.
And the person who drew Jiazi's most attention was Xia Na.
Xia Na's recent advancement had been terrifyingly fast!
This terrifying pace had already left her far behind, and she was rapidly catching up to Su Yang's former speed.
For geniuses like Su Yang and Liu Mengyun to appear in clusters was simply impossible!
If everything Liu Mengyun said was true, it perfectly explained why both she and Xia Na were so "talented"!
"Xia Na, assist Mengyun well in the north, and don't forget to improve your strength, understood?"
Xia Na quickly assured: "General Su, I'll work hard!"
"Mm!"
"Then I'm off!"
Liu Mengyun warned: "Be careful outside. Watch your safety. If things turn bad, flee quickly—life is most important. I'll be waiting for you in the north."
"Hah! I'm a coward—I won't die!"
Back in Shengjing, Su Yang brought Jiazi to his room.
Hearing the door close, Jiazi grew slightly tense.
"Sit!"
Su Yang pointed to the sofa and told Jiazi.
"Yes!"
Su Yang sat on the sofa and said softly: "I remember your main battle pet beasts are the Nine-Tailed Fox and the Jin Lin Mermaid, right?"
"Yes!"
"Summon them!"
Su Yang remembered both pet beasts weren't large in size.
The room could easily hold them.
"Mm!"
Jiazi waved her hand, and the two pet beasts appeared before Su Yang.
The nine-tailed demon fox with a coat of fiery red fur, those cunning, alluring eyes, always made Su Yang suspect that what stood before him was a human beauty wrapped in a fox's skin.
The kind with off-the-charts charm.
After all, women who could make Su Yang unable to resist stealing a few extra glances were truly few in this world.
Then there was the Jin Lin mermaid, with a head of beautiful long blue hair, breathtaking looks, fair skin, large water-blue eyes, and a golden-yellow fish tail.
It had no legs and could not walk, but was held aloft by a cluster of waves.
The moment he saw those swaying nine tails, Su Yang reached out his hand to grab them. The nine-tailed demon fox, having long prepared for having its tails grabbed, nimbly dodged.
After all, last time, Su Yang had done exactly that.
Su Yang pursed his lips and reached out to touch the Jin Lin mermaid's fish tail.
The Jin Lin mermaid's delicate body trembled slightly, but it did not choose to dodge.
The ferocity Su Yang had displayed in that great battle back then was still fresh in its memory!
Facing Su Yang's large hand, it did not dare to resist.
If it hadn't been Su Yang reaching out, but some other human or a fierce beast, the Jin Lin mermaid would have surely crushed the other into pulp and flushed them into the sea to feed the fish and shrimp.
No matter what, her potential was Emperor-grade, royalty among the mermaid clan.
Once she grew up, she would almost certainly be a top-tier existence of the deep-sea region!
The Jin Lin mermaid's fish tail felt cool, smooth, and very elastic to the touch. The golden scales were not very hard, but soft, yet extremely tough, providing the Jin Lin mermaid with a certain defense without hindering its flexibility.
The nine-tailed demon fox, hiding behind Sovereign Jiazi, smiled smugly, then saw the Jin Lin mermaid getting its tail touched by Su Yang, and a human-like sneer and smugness appeared on its face.
The nine-tailed demon fox secretly gloated that it was still clever; unlike the silly mermaid, who made no preparations and let Su Yang take advantage of her for nothing!
So this is what a mermaid's tail feels like!
Su Yang contentedly withdrew his hand, which was wet and sticky with the transparent mucus from the Jin Lin mermaid's fish tail.
The transparent mucus was not dirty at all; it carried a faint fragrance that invigorated the spirit the moment one smelled it!
