But when it ca to the chest area, perhaps because the bucket’s mouth was sowhat narrow, the fish maiden’s body experienced a snag while coming out.
She wriggled her body and finally squeezed out.
And as those two patches of white left the bucket, Jiang Shu’s mind even automatically paired them with a crisp sound.
"Pop—"
Yi: No ripples stirred.
Jiang Shu glanced at Xiao Yi, feeling that this guy was implying sothing with his words.
The slender waist obviously wasn’t an issue either; it slipped out of the bucket in an instant, followed by the sowhat withered octopus tentacles.
The dense mass of small tentacles wriggled unconsciously, and upon encountering water, they quickly absorbed it and swelled up, turning into thick, powerful tentacles. When these tentacles all transford into their full state, the water level in the entire bath actually dropped by a third.
At this mont, Jiang Shu also realized that the fish maiden would take off her swimsuit when she crawled into the bucket to sleep.
But that made sense, since no octopus wore clothes to sleep.
So now, the scene in the bath with the ripples wasn’t sothing a vigorous young man like him should be seeing. He turned his face away, ready to quietly leave.
Her upper body was pale and delicate, and her lower half was all purple tentacles.
How strange, let’s take another look.
Jiang Shu’s peripheral vision caught Xiao Yi laying at the edge of the bath, eyes shining, so he hooked it with his foot, signaling that they could leave together.
Perhaps still a bit dazed from waking up, the fish maiden only then noticed Jiang Shu in the room. Her tentacles imdiately bunched up from their spread-out state, pushing her body continually upward.
"Splash—" The fish maiden’s upper body surfaced, and her lower tentacles stretched straight to support the bottom of the bath, stabilizing her upper body.
She shook her hair, long strands falling forward to drape over her chest, drops of water forming a chain that flowed over her cheeks, filled her collarbones, and finally dripped down from two pointed ends.
"Hmm?" The fish maiden tilted her head, gazing at Jiang Shu with a pair of animated, pure eyes.
She lacked any human world sense of sha, and in her current state, she did not show any intention of avoiding suspicion. She stood openly in front of Jiang Shu and even straightened her body.
Jiang Shu swallowed hard and found himself suddenly frozen.
It was undeniable that the fish maiden at this mont embodied both youth and seduction, delivering quite the shock to him.
The fish maiden, however, looked puzzled because the Jiang Shu she was seeing now was sowhat different from the Jiang Shu she had seen before. So, she gently swayed her body, moving forward like a snake, face-to-face, and scrutinized Jiang Shu.
Why did the cody suddenly turn into an adult film?
Jiang Shu remained silent as he turned away, needing to leave quickly. It wasn’t that he worried about doing sothing inappropriate; it was more a matter of "look not upon what is unsuitable to gaze at."
"Next ti, no matter who it is, rember to put on clothes before opening the door," Jiang Shu said as he opened the door and quickly exited.
He left behind the still puzzled fish maiden who couldn’t quite understand why Jiang Shu ca here so early in the morning and why he left just after looking at her near the bath.
Then, her eyes full of question marks turned to Xiao Yi, who squat by the bath. Through sign language, she asked: What’s wrong with him?
The fish maiden pondered and then used hand gestures to ask: His body temperature rose earlier, why?
Yi: Brain overheating, if it happens again, splash him with water to help him cool down, he will thank you for it.
The fish maiden nodded in understanding. She deeply trusted Xiao Yi, who often brought her premium dried fish snacks.
Then she rembered Jiang Shu’s instructions and began to look around for her swimsuit.
Xiao Yi just quietly watched her without avoiding her gaze.
After all, what is there to be shy about between a robot and an octopus maiden?
Plus, it hadn’t done anything to the fish maiden; it was just docunting the beauties of life.

"Phew—" Jiang Shu let out a sigh as he walked into the kitchen to find Xiao Bing and Xiao Ding obediently washing vegetables on the side, while Xiao Jia was taking apart its round hand and stuffing sothing inside.
Hmm?
Jiang Shu paused, walking over to take a closer look at Xiao Jia, which was placing a silvery tal powder into its round hand.
The tal powder was extrely fine and looked particularly soft when piled up.
"What are you doing?" Jiang Shu pointed to its round hand and asked.
He had wondered long before how the Doraemon-like round hands of Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding could grasp anything?
They didn’t look like they would be able to grab items normally.
Jia: I’m replacing parts. DH tal powder leaked into the body. I’m cleaning it up.
"DH tal powder? What’s that?" Jiang Shu asked, puzzled.
Person A: This is why we can grip things with our round hands.
He pointed to the powder inside the round hand and continued to communicate with Jiang Shu via the ssage board.
Person A: My hand is actually made of a sealed, high-strength pouch and these finely milled tal powders.
Person A: When it’s ti to grip sothing, all we need to do is pump air into the pouch. The round hand becos soft and malleable, conforming to the shape of the object that needs to be gripped. Then, we suck out the air to make the round hand harden and grip.
Jiang Shu blinked his eyes, trying to think through the feasibility of this.
Grip by softening or hardening the round hand with the intake and outtake of air?
It seed possible.
Was it not because the round hand had countless small hands to assist in gripping?
Indeed, Doraemon’s anti-slip hand truly was a high-tech gadget of the future.
However, even hard objects were one thing, but to pick up sothing like a leaf with such a thod...
It really was Lonely City’s black technology.
No wonder, without this, Jiang Shu could not imagine how Tablet Spirit managed to retract its limbs into the tablet body.
This unscientific thing was actually explained scientifically, and suddenly he felt quite amazed.
At this ti, the Tablet Spirits also finished washing the vegetables and uniformly directed their gaze toward Jiang Shu.
They could wash vegetables, but they had no way of cooking things like stir-frying; even if they were Jiang Shu’s alien bodies.
Jiang Shu decided to cook a few pancakes. Whether for breakfast or lunch, there would be no problem.
"Go, open Sister Ruo’s door." He thought of an interesting thing and ordered the small one equipped with round hands to open Liu Tingruo’s door.
The small one blinked its eyes and quickly figured out what Jiang Shu intended to do, then drifted away.
Having prepared the filling and the pancake dough, Jiang Shu began to combine the two.
He planned to fry these pancakes in oil; he didn’t even want to use a readymade oven, because only an open frying pan could maximally release the fragrance to lure out a certain glutton.
Monts later, with the sound of "sizzle and pop" from the oil, the marvelous reaction between the oil and the flour burst forth with a rich aroma that wafted through the air, gradually spreading afar.
The scent carried up the stairs and gradually perated the second floor.
And in the bedroom there was an Immortal Stone; from the stone ca an egg, which, when touched by wind, beca a stone monkey...
Jiang Shu was amusing himself with thoughts of the first Chapter where the stone monkey is born when suddenly he realized Liu Tingruo was already standing behind him.
Her eyes were barely open, still groggy from waking, yet she eagerly watched the frying pan, sniffing the air for the tempting aroma.
"Go wash your face and brush your teeth; it will be ready soon," Jiang Shu said with a smile.
"Mhm," Liu Tingruo nodded, then half-closed her eyes and slowly left the place.
Jiang Shu watched her and couldn’t help but laugh silently.
Who wouldn’t be puzzled by such a sight of Sister Ruo?
*Ding*—at that mont, Jiang Shu’s wristwatch suddenly rang.
He opened the Simulated Light Screen, keeping one eye on the frying pan and the other on the ssage.
It was a ssage from Wolf.
Wolf: Old Tang has been dismissed.
Wolf: I’ve been appointed by the higher-ups as the Temporary Police Director for Thirteen District.
Wolf: What about you?
After reading the ssage, Jiang Shu turned his head back to the frying pan.
He had already known this news yesterday, and the only difference now was the "temporary" Wolf had ntioned.
Temporary Police Director.
The preconceived notion in Jiang Shu’s mind felt that this "temporary" was fraught with an implication of sheer authority.
During this period, if sothing went wrong, Wolf would be held responsible; if the social environnt of Thirteen District stabilized, it was possible for a pre-designated Police Chief to co in and steal the fruits of Wolf’s labor.
But he replied anyway: I’ll join you entering Thirteen District for the job.
