Back to Field: Riding a Whale to Scavenge, Mistaken for a Mermaid

He transmigrates to a parallel world.

Xu Lan becomes the Son of the Sea, guardian of this upside-down blue sky.

Every day, cleaning up ocean ** earns him generous rewards.

One day, after finishing his work,

Xu Lan returns from the deep sea atop an orca, with the sunset glowing behind him.

By chance, the Xiangwang variety show's crew captures the scene and mistakes it for footage of a legendary mermaid!

The whole country is instantly in an uproar!

By chance, my younger sister meets a young man named Xu Lan in Shark Pond Village.

As she gets to know him, she discovers...

This young man, who's about her age, seems almost impossibly capable.

His cooking tastes better than Huang Xiaochu's.

The nursery rhyme he casually teaches the children keeps Yixing puzzling over it for days.

He never loses at cards; every coconut he opens is the sweetest; one dose of his medicine can beat the heat and cure illness.

He also has plenty of friends in the ocean.

Wait!

Why does that orca look so much like the one beneath the mermaid...?
