151: This one, eighty

Now appearing, after the Big Sister Mermaid.

The Delinquent Mermaid!

The remaining two Hoodlums were clutching the Emperor Crab, watching Shui Yuqianxi approach, already sweating profusely.

It was at this moment that an accident occurred.

The Crab m in the Hoodlum's arms moved.

The Emperor Crab raised its pincer, and *snap*!

The Hoodlum's index finger and thumb flew off directly, blood gushing out!

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

"My hand!!"

"My..."

Bang!

Shui Yuqianxi quickly closed in, throwing a punch at each of them, sending them into a baby-like slumber.

In this slumber, all recent memories would transform into a dream.

"Jellyfish Punch!"

Then she pulled out the Jellyfish M and punched the Hoodlum again.

The severed fingers were reattached to the Hoodlum's wound.

At this moment, the Emperor Crab had once again scurried deep into the alley.

Zigzagging, it was about to rush to the other side of the street.

A wire fence stood in front.

The Crab m's pincer moved easily, cutting a gap in the wire fence.

Shui Yuqianxi tapped her toes on the ground, stepped onto the wall, easily flipped over the fence in front of her, and landed on the ground.

Gazing at the Crab m that was within reach, Shui Yuqianxi brandished the Mermaid F, and streams of water, like snakes, wrapped around the Emperor Crab.

Then, the Sea Turtle m swung.

The water streams entwining the Emperor Crab immediately became heavy as a thousand pounds under the effect of stabilizing the sea.

The Emperor Crab's rapidly scuttling legs could no longer support its heavy body, and it flattened onto the ground.

Shui Yuqianxi approached step by step, pulling out two zip ties and binding the Crab m's two giant pincers.

Just in case, she wrapped two more around it.

The Crab m was now like dead, motionless under her control.

Seemingly unaware of Shui Yuqianxi's favor, the Crab m still showed no reaction.

Shui Yuqianxi carried the Crab m and walked out of the alley.

Only then did she realize that the area on this side of the wire fence she had just climbed over didn't seem to be a street at all.

Instead, it was a wide, sunny, grass-covered sanatorium.

Inside were elderly people in hospital gowns and young people with shaved heads.

Shui Yuqianxi walked a few steps and actually met an acquaintance.

A pretty young girl wearing a caregiver's uniform.

It was the young girl Shui Yuqianxi had just saved earlier in the wet market.

She seemed to be working at this sanatorium.

Buying vegetables at the nearby wet market earlier seemed to be for cooking here.

"Sister Yu!"

Seeing Shui Yuqianxi, the girl waved her hand in surprise, greeting her.

Then she bowed repeatedly to another caregiver beside her, saying something, and ran over.

"Sister Yu, why are you here?"

"Do you have a relative living here?"

"I can't believe I met you again. I'm so sorry I didn't introduce myself before."

"My name is Chen Cheng, and I'm working here now."

"Hmm, you've worked hard."

"I'm here to visit my grandfather. You know my family's situation."

"My mother doesn't allow me to come, so I secretly climbed over the wall to get in. Please keep it a secret for me."

Shui Yuqianxi spoke apologetically.

Chen Cheng remembered Shui Yuqianxi's background and understood Shui Yuqianxi's predicament.

After all, her parents divorced, she followed her mother, and her mother was very controlling. Her grandfather was ill, and she came to visit him.

It was indeed very difficult.

"Okay, I'll keep it a secret for you."

Chen Cheng nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, after all, you, Sister, are also my benefactor."

After Shui Yuqianxi finished speaking, she began to approach the sanatorium's patient building.

Through the patient building was the main entrance and exit of the hospital.

Just then, the Emperor Crab in Shui Yuqianxi's hand struggled again and fell onto the tiled floor.

Shui Yuqianxi wished she could stomp this dead Crab m to death, but she held back.

Just as she was about to pick it up, she found the Crab m had rolled to the front of a wheelchair.

She looked up and saw that the person in the wheelchair was a thin, haggard male patient, about forty years old, with sparse hair.

As if sensing Shui Yuqianxi's gaze, the man smiled kindly.

"It's probably inconvenient to carry the Crab m like that. Do you need a bag?"

The man said with a smile.

Although he looked critically ill, he seemed very spirited.

"Can I?"

Shui Yuqianxi picked up the Crab m again and looked at the man in front of her.

"No need to be polite."

"Miss Lin, please help me get a bag."

The man turned his head and said with a smile to the Nurse pushing his wheelchair behind him.

"Okay."

The Nurse let go of the wheelchair and walked towards the workroom at the Nurse's station.

"Thank you, what's your name?"

"You don't know me? Well, I suppose in my current state, it's hard to tell."

The man chuckled self-deprecatingly, then spoke.

"I am Mu Yuanyi."

...

After receiving the bag and putting the Crab m inside, Shui Yuqianxi thanked him politely and left the hospital.

Mu Yuanyi sat in the hospital, smiling, watching Shui Yuqianxi leave.

He had just given his name, but Shui Yuqianxi still didn't recognize him.

It seemed Mermaids don't like to read literary classics, nor do they pay attention to Nanwan Island's traditional literary circles.

Mu Yuanyi didn't mind.

After all, he didn't think that everyone on Nanwan Island should know him, a great writer.

That kind of thought was too arrogant.

As a writer, one must remain humble.

An arrogant personality would flow into the characters created, along with the ink from the pen.

"Push me back to my room. I'm very tired today."

Mu Yuanyi coughed twice and said to the Nurse behind him with a smile.

"Also, it's been two days since I asked you to investigate."

Mu Yuanyi still maintained his smile.

But that gentle tone made the Nurse's hand, gripping the wheelchair, tremble involuntarily.

Ding.

"Alright, the elevator's here, go in quickly."

Mu Yuanyi said with a smile again, and the Nurse finally breathed a sigh of relief, quickly pushing Mu Yuanyi into the elevator and pressing the floor.

...

The best way to redeem a life.

Is to let its soul escape its shell.

Shui Yuqianxi opened the pot lid, and the clear aroma of green onions, ginger, and garlic wafted out. The bright red Emperor Crab lay amidst the green onions, ginger, and garlic.

Eat its flesh, and let its soul be freed.

This is the ultimate redemption!

The Crab m seemed to approve of Shui Yuqianxi's concept of redemption, and it manifested itself. The Sea Spirit Record automatically opened to the Crab m's page, and the Crab m returned.

Shui Yuqianxi broke off a Crab m leg and dipped it in the sauce.

This bite, eighty.
