The Mermaid's Beautiful Guide

Merfolk Guides are known as the strongest Guides.

They possess the most beautiful appearance, the most enchanting voices, and an intoxicating scent.

Their compatibility with every Sentinel is over 90%. Among Guides, their channeling ability is practically a cheat. They can provide area-wide channeling across an entire city.

Throughout history, Merfolk Guides of every gender have married into the imperial family.

Yun Qizhi was born into a family of Sentinels. He had an older brother and an older sister, as well as a younger brother, all of them double-S-rank Sentinels. At the age of eight, he awakened as a C-rank Sentinel and became known as the disgrace of the Yun family.

As an utterly ordinary C-rank Sentinel, his daily life was nothing special. Then, at eighteen, he followed the person he loved on a mission to save them, entered the sea, and underwent a second awakening as a Merfolk Guide.

Now he faces a huge problem.

His childhood friend, his unrelated older brother, the younger brother he grew up with, and even the seemingly cold and ruthless Chancellor have all expressed affection for him.

An arm over his shoulder, an arm around his waist, fingers brushing his neck, and even getting cornered against the wall...

Yun Qizhi fell into deep thought.

[Announcement: The novel will be contracted on February 21. A 10,000-word chapter is coming!]

"Apocalypse Farming, the Beloved Little Fat Bird"

Lin Qichuan transmigrated.

After a confused journey to another world, he became a little white bird and was bound to a farming System that lent him money.

The moment he opened the System interface, all kinds of lending platforms appeared, including Huabei, Jiebei, and Weili Dai. The shop was stocked with potted plants, soil, seeds, fertilizer...

Before he could figure out his golden finger, a beast trader put him in a pet carrier and began selling him. His adorably ugly looks caught the attention of everyone who passed by.

It was the seventh year of the apocalypse, and humanity had established numerous bases.

Among the crowd, an elderly woman hesitated before spending 20 contribution points to take him home.

The old woman said to Lin Qichuan, "They say little animals are the best at healing people's hearts. Baby Chick, I'm leaving my precious grandson in your care."

Lin Qichuan squawked indignantly. "Caw! I'm a bird! A bird! I'm not a chicken!"

After a knock at the door, Lin Qichuan saw the old woman's grandson, who had autism, and his pupils trembled in shock.

It was his ex-boyfriend, Lu Linshu.

In Lin Qichuan's memory, Lu Linshu had been radiant and noble. Now he shut himself away in a dark room, never seeing sunlight. His skin was a sickly white, and he was withdrawn and silent.

Lin Qichuan was stunned. He hopped onto Lu Linshu and burrowed into his shirt.

Where were the pectorals he used to love? Where were the abs he used to love touching?

Wait, why had his wonderful ex-boyfriend turned into such a sickly ghost?

Lin Qichuan settled in at the Lu home.

After becoming a bird, Lin Qichuan inevitably picked up plenty of bird habits. He started singing at the crack of dawn every day, was mischievous and naughty, and couldn't help causing trouble. If he was quiet, he was definitely up to something.

(*￣︶￣) One of the defining traits of birds was their incurable curiosity, and he started tinkering with the System.

He used Huabei to buy potted plants, soil, fertilizer, and seeds, then planted them under his ex-boyfriend's bed. By the next day, sprouts had appeared, with a speech bubble beside them that read, [Bring me some happy juice].

He opened the shop, bought happy juice, and fed it to the little green sprout.

A speech bubble appeared beside the potted plant: [Heehee, I'm an explosive plant. Watch me blow up and see how powerful I am!]

Lin Qichuan: "..." ???

He bought another complete set of supplies and planted them under his ex-boyfriend's bed.

[I'm a corrosive plant. I open my mouth and spray a torrent of corrosive liquid. Want to try it?]

[I'm a holy light plant. Under my halo of saintly light, all wounds can heal. Call me the Light of the World!]

Lin Qichuan raised a whole row of plants under his ex-boyfriend's bed, until the System warned him to make his payments on time or his regular loans would turn into loansharking debt.

Lin Qichuan perked up. In a panic, the little bird instantly learned how to use his ex-boyfriend's phone to find customers.

He browsed the information on all the platforms and targeted gullible sweethearts. Middle-aged and elderly people, along with elementary school kids, were his main customer base.

The little bird: "Sell to him! He's easy to fool!"

The little bird: "Sell to him! He's easy to fool!"

The little bird: "Sell to her! She's easy to fool!"

One day, Lin Qichuan grew a plant like this:

[I'm an evolution plant. I can help you evolve toward the future.]

The little bird curiously used it, and the next moment, he turned into a human.

A human who looked exactly like his former self!

He! Was! Human!

"Raising Little Ones at the Magic Academy"

Nois and his childhood friend somehow ended up doing it.

A month later, when the Magic Academy term began, Nois laid two quail-sized eggs without any pain.

His pupils trembled in shock.

Nois stayed up all night doing research. He! Had! Babies!

Two of them!

The Magic Academy kept him busy with classes. After thinking it over, he put the two eggs in a bird's nest in a tree along the campus grounds.

Twenty days later, while he was in class, two little chicks hatched safely and joined their nestmates, all of them squawking for food.

Nois kept going over to feed them and soon became familiar with the bird parents and chicks.

The little chicks gradually grew, chirping and twittering away.

Nois showed them to his childhood friend. The chicks had silly-looking faces and were adorably ugly.

His childhood friend: "Where did all these silly birds come from?"

Nois said angrily, "Two of them are our biological children. The rest are our nephews."

His childhood friend: "Oh, right. Thanks to you, I'll actually get to be a bird dad and bird uncle in this lifetime."

Nois proudly tossed his head. "Cute, right?"

His childhood friend paused. "They really are cute."

Nois and his childhood friend clumsily raised the birds. They took care of them when they had time, and when they didn't, the two little chicks played with the other birds at the academy. The little birds grew fast, becoming notorious troublemaking tyrant chicks at the academy and, somehow, his battle pets. They were incredibly powerful.

During a holiday, the two took a whole flock of bird babies to visit their bird grandparents.

The bird grandparents thought the flock was adorable and bought every kind of bird accessory: bird food, bird toys, perches, nests...

Then, two little birds in the flock suddenly turned into humans.

One looked exactly like Nois, and the other exactly like his childhood friend.

His childhood friend: "... (⊙n⊙)" The story of how I raised my own biological children as pet chickens.

The bird grandparents: "... (ΩДΩ)" The story of how I raised my own biological grandchildren as pet chickens.

-

1. The twins successfully blended in with the flock.

2. The twins successfully became the tyrant chicks of the Magic Academy.

3. The twins somehow became Dad's battle pets, and fierce ones at that.

Theme: Live well in the present and pursue your dreams.
