Chapter 34 - Alcohol Another World
"You remind us of our eldest son, Son," said Queen Eliz.
Sifeng was taken aback. There was a sense of nervousness when a woman stroked his head. Sifeng had never been treated this warmly before. So, Sifeng felt awkward.
"Where is your child, Queen?" Sifeng asked.
"My eldest son is now in another land. He is very different now. Ever since my eldest son became king of a region, there has only been tension on his face. Not like my old son anymore. The one who likes to drink and joke with me." Queen Eliz said while looking down sadly.
"Never mind, my wife! This is Glen's own choice. We must respect our sons' choices. He's not a kid anymore, remember?" Lord Jack responded. He kissed his wife's hand.
Sifeng smiled bitterly at this time. In his entire life, Sifeng had never witnessed Master Zhang and Madam Wang's romance. There's just bickering all the time.
Sifeng suddenly remembered his stepmother. Although Madam Wang never thought of Sifeng as a child, Sifeng always thought of Madam Wang as his mother.
The mother who although very mean to Sifeng, but in Sifeng's deepest heart, only Madam Wang as his mother.
Even after living together for a dozen years, until now Madam Wang did not allow Sifeng to call her "Mama".
Even so, Sifeng was still 'stubborn' and continued to call Madam Wang 'Mama', just like Madam Wang's daughter, Yushen and Sifeng's eldest sister.

Yushen was lost in the magnificent palace of these mermaids. Yushen accidentally entered the mermaid's bath. How surprised he was to see a strange creature in the water.
The creature swam here and there, wagging its tail. From the stomach to the head in human form. Her hair is long and silver in color, loose. From the belly down the shape of a fish.
Truly, this was Yushen's first time encountering a creature like this. Is this a mermaid? Was the mermaid really as beautiful as the one in Xianxia that Yushen had been watching all this time? If she's beautiful, can Yushen get acquainted? That was the mind of the handsome man surnamed Zhang.
Zhang Yushen started to approach the pond.
"Yushen Brother!"
A voice emerged from the bottom of the water.
"Vin? Is that you? How come, Vin?" Yushen gasped and reflexively shouted. Yushen didn't think that the creature that Yushen thought was a beautiful mermaid, turned out to be Vin. Yushen patted his own forehead. How could he have imagined that the one bathing in the pool was a beautiful mermaid.
"I was surprised because the one in the pool was you, Vin!" Yushen grumbled, annoyed.
"Why, Yushen Bro? You hope that the one in this pond is a very beautiful mermaid, huh?" Vin smiled and continued to tease Yushen, because Yushen had misrecognized earlier.
"Hahaha, I didn't think you could turn into a fish at all, Vin." Zhang Yushen said. He was still laughing, and was now sitting on the stone block by the pool.
"Huufftt... I'm a mermaid prince, Yushen Bro. Not a random fish." Vin said, pursing his lips in annoyance at being called a 'fish' by Yushen earlier.
"Hahaha ... it's the same thing, Vin. Basically, Kamubitu are fish too, no matter what kind it is. Mermaids, salmon, tuna, koi, all kinds of fish." Yushen said with a laugh.
"Different, Brother! Anyway, I am not the same fish that Yushen Brother used to eat." Vin replied in a harsh tone, as he was a little annoyed at being lumped in with fish in the Human World.
"Ahahaha ... yes, I'm sorry if I offended you, Vin. That means, Gil can also change like you, Vin?"
"No way, only I can, Yushen Brother. Because of my fire-water elemental power, I can transform into anything and anyone. Gil Brother only has water elemental powers. So, he doesn't have the ability to change his own form ...." said Vin while occasionally diving.
"How come?" Yushen asked, curious.
"Because ...."
Before Vin finished speaking, suddenly someone shouted and headed towards them.
"You here, Yushen? I've been looking for you for a long time."
A voice came from behind Yushen.
Yushen was a little annoyed at Gil's sudden arrival. In fact, Yushen still wanted to hear Vin's full story earlier.
"What's the matter, Gil?"
"Sifeng is very drunk, Yushen. However, my father took him to the room. Sifeng finished 15 full glasses of alcohol. Hahaha... this is the first time I've seen humans drink that much. In fact, the alcohol in the God's World is very different from the one in your world. ."
Hearing Gil's words just now, Yushen was stunned for a moment. In fact, the doctor forbade Sifeng to drink alcohol until Sifeng fully recovered.
"That kid is so stupid!" Yushen shouted, annoyed. Yushen got up and ran towards Sifeng's room, which this family had provided.

Sifeng was in one of the rooms, which was in the Mermaid Palace at the moment. Sifeng was still heavily intoxicated while rambling on, incoherently.
"Mama? Mama? Tch! In fact, my tongue stiffens every time I mention the word 'mama'. Zhang Yushen! Xiao Yu! A-Shen! Yu Gege! Do you want to be my father? Hahaha, Uncle Yushen!" Sifeng called several aliases of his brother.
Lord Jack and Queen Eliz couldn't help but smile at Sifeng's strange behavior. They missed their eldest son, King Glen Greyrat.
I heard someone running from the door. That someone was Yushen. Yushen entered the room in a hurry. Yushen did not expect that Sifeng would be this reckless. Absolutely no visiting etiquette. Yushen was even embarrassed to admit Sifeng as a younger brother at this time.
"Forgive my brother, Your Majesty Jack." Yushen slightly lowered his head towards Lord Jack and Queen Eliz. Yushen felt sorry for what his sister did in this Mermaid Queen's palace.
"Zhang Yushen?! Is that you, Gege? I really miss you, Gehe. I have no one but you. Don't leave me alone! I have no one else to depend on but you, Yushen Gege." Sifeng spoke, still with incoherent tirades.
Yushen approached his brother. Yushen grabbed Sifeng's head, and placed it on his lap.
"Relax! I won't leave you, Fool! I'll always be here, A-Feng. Now rest!"
Yushen acted as if he was a father to Sifeng. Yushen said as he gently stroked his little brother's head.
After a few minutes, Sifeng finally fell asleep. Yushen adjusted Sifeng's sleeping position and covered his sister's body.
Yushen is now out with Lord Jack and Queen Eliz.
"Is Sifeng all right, Yushen?" Gil asked. Gil is also worried because he still remembers that Sifeng had a pretty bad accident. And Sifeng hasn't fully recovered either.
Yushen smiled at Gil.
"I think, maybe Sifeng is fine, Gil. Thank you for worrying about my sister too. Sifeng is asleep now. I feel that Sifeng is currently very drunk. Previously, Sifeng had never been this drunk," said Zhang Yushen.
Yushen faced Lord Jack and Queen Eliz. Yushen lowered his head and placed his right hand on his left chest, mimicking the usual way the guards saluted Lord Jack.
"Forgive my brother's impoliteness, Your Majesty. He is an idiot and unethical." Yushen spoke.
King Li replied, "Relax, Zhang Yushen! We don't feel that way. We already treat you as family, just like you did to Gil and Vin. So, don't ever feel that awkward again, understand?"
Yushen nodded and smiled.
"Oh yeah, what's wrong with your mother? It seems, Sifeng really hates the mother figure." Queen Eliz also spoke. He took Sifeng's rambling seriously.
"It's all right, Her Majesty the Queen. It's just a small matter within a family." Yushen's smile was etched. He couldn't possibly tell the truth, could he? It was the same as opening up his own family's handicap. Yushen thought so.
***
Guangzhou, South China.
"How can he be free so soon, heh?" Mr. Zhang did not accept what Manager Huo just said.
Manager Huo told me that Mrs. Wang had been released from prison. It was Lord Zhng's wife who had harmed Sifeng and Yushen. Madam Wang had several people kill the real Zhang Sifeng, Yushen. But don't know why, Sifeng was stabbed instead of Yushen.
Even so, both of them are the children of Master Zhang. So, Master Zhang couldn't let his wife act as she pleased. Mr. Zhang did not accept if one of his children from another woman, was harmed by his own legal wife.
Master Zhang still clearly remembers how Madam Wang contrived a big conspiracy.
Madam Wang exchanged Xiao Yushen, Master Zhang's biological son, for the son that Madam Wang found.
However, Master Zhang was grateful that the son turned out to be his biological son as well. A very fortunate coincidence.
Mr. Zhang had 2 sons by different women, before marrying a widow named Wang Jia Li. Mrs. Wang has 1 daughter named Xie Lian Ji.
"The police said the evidence was not incriminating, Sir," continued Manager Huo. There was still a look of tension on his face.
"Immediately send spies to find A-Shen and A-Feng's whereabouts. I believe that Jia Li's first targets after getting out of prison were my two sons. She is a snake woman. In fact, she once harmed A-Feng before my eyes."
