Chapter 94 Mermaid on the Shore 16 Has he become Daji too? ...

094 Mermaid on the Shore 16

As the last ray of sunlight disappeared from the horizon, the room fell into complete darkness.

The wind gently leaped over the surface of the swimming pool outside and came over here in small steps. At the moment when it was about to step into the room, a hand pressed on the edge of the window and closed the window heavily!

The arms wrapped around his waist were strong and powerful, and at a certain moment, they flipped his body over.

Lu Jiu faced Wei Nanlou with her legs naturally apart.

The man pushed him against the table and kissed him deeply, while he gently pulled his belt loose.

Lu Jiu was a little slow to react at first, and subconsciously put his hands on Wei Nanlou's shoulders. Gradually, he felt something, and the force of pushing and resisting stopped. He slowly wrapped his hands around the man's neck, closed his eyes, and responded softly.

There was a hint of moisture on Wei Nanlou's body, and he had changed his clothes, obviously having washed them before coming here.

As they changed the kissing angle and parted their lips, Lu Jiu asked in a hoarse voice, "Are you angry?"

Wei Nanlou lifted him up by his hips, turned around and pressed him down on the bed.

The action may seem rough, but it is actually careful.

With his right palm protecting the back of his neck, he gently lowered his hips with his left hand, then with a twist of his wrist, he reached into the loosely hanging robe.

"Wei Nan Lou...?"

Lu Jiu shuddered and called softly.

She is only a little over a month pregnant, and her belly is still flat, with no signs of pregnancy.

Her skin is porcelain white and every part of her body is slender. Whether she crosses her legs or lifts her waist, the flowing lines are beautiful.

Wei Nanlou kissed his neck all the way up to his ear, then spoke in a very low, soft voice.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Lu Jiu trembled from time to time under his actions.

A mermaid's body is really too sensitive, even after the most difficult period after pregnancy.

"Because... I have already taken revenge on those who deserve it, and now... they are just passing clouds, and to me... they are not important at all..."

"So what's important?"

"...Of course it's you?! As long as you're fine, I actually... don't have that much anger..."

Lu Jiu muttered, and Wei Nanlou's chest shook, as if he smiled gently.

But the laugh was so shallow that Lu Jiu didn't hear the sound.

His earlobe was drawn into the warmth.

The man rubbed it gently with his teeth and caressed his body tenderly with his palms.

"Which one of mine is the wreath for?"

Lu Jiu was stunned.

His breathing became very disordered, and his mind became disordered as well. After a few breaths, he asked, "Why are you suddenly... asking this?"

"I said, when we first met, I should have told you where to really find me, or asked you to tell me where to pick you up."

"If I had remembered from the beginning, these 'shoulds' would have become reality."

Quietly, tiny differences lead to completely different directions.

"I have to admit that the power that prevents me from remembering the past is a problem."

Wei Nanlou's voice was very calm.

Lu Jiu suddenly woke up.

What……?

In a flash, he was covered with physiological tears at the guy's actions, which were in stark contrast to his tone of voice.

The corners of his eyes were tinged with crimson, and his breath was tinged with heat.

"You...you know that Wu Xing sent soldiers to look for me at the beach..."

Do you think that if he still had his memories, he wouldn't have to face the possibility of being captured by that Wu Xing, even if it was only a one in ten thousand chance...?

This guy... is he afraid?

As Lu Jiu thought about it, he began to struggle.

He suddenly pulled his hands out from under their restraints, grabbed the guy's face, and lifted it up with force!

Wei Nanlou’s eyes were deep.

As soon as he met those eyes, Lu Jiu's heart softened.

This is the first time I have had this feeling in my life.

He panted and gently rubbed the face with his thumb.

"...I was lucky. When I swam to the shore, a kind old man reminded me that nobles were searching for mermaids in those days, so I went ashore in the fishing town and did not go near the coastline on the way to the Mermaid Town."

"Even if - even if I am really captured by Wu Xing, I can protect myself. I am not exaggerating, I have metaphysics to protect me, and I am also very good at fighting. You saw it at the banquet that day!"

"If Wu Xing dares to touch me, I will definitely beat him to a pulp. He should be thankful that he didn't find me, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come see you today, and he might still be lying in bed unable to get up!"

"It's not your fault that you lost your memory," Lu Jiu paused, "...In the past, there was always a force pushing us together. Sometimes I think, if there was no such force, would you and I be two strangers, without any intersection at all?"

Wei Nanlou narrowed his eyes.

"But then, I felt," Lu Jiu stared at him, "that we were born to belong to each other. That force just went with the flow, or just accelerated the process."

“Then when I came to this world, I felt that its direction changed.”

"Although the only change so far is that you have lost your memory," Lu Jiu said softly, "but I always have a feeling... maybe it wants to stop us from being together."

111 did not receive the initial task assigned by the Quick Travel Bureau. Is it really just because the system of the Quick Travel Bureau is still in chaos?

Or is there another reason?

"Compared to external threats, what I'm more afraid of is... Will it be more difficult for me to find you in the next world?"

In this world, this man just lost his memory.

What about the next world?

What will be waiting for them?

The tide starts from the smallest things. 111 once said that the escaped players turned into fragments and entered five mission worlds to be developed.

Now they have reached the fourth and final one. Will there be earth-shaking changes?

Lu Jiu had a vague premonition in his heart.

Wei Nanlou stared at him steadily, his eyes turning very dark.

——Suddenly, Lu Jiu arched his body and the sound came out of his throat uncontrollably!

Wei Nanlou's breathing became heavy.

As he moved, he raised his hand, covered the back of Lu Jiu's hand that was pressed against his cheek, turned his face to the side, and kissed the palm lightly.

"…Why so sudden?!"

"Jiujiu, I have no memory, so I can't give you a definite answer."

Lu Jiu's eyes were covered with a layer of water, and the water was trembling.

"But as long as I see you, I will jump into the sea again."

The man's voice was low and slow, treading on the boundary between passion and calmness, with a certainty that was a mixture of ice and fire.

"No matter what happens next time, the sword will pierce my abdomen or chest."

After the tender and murmured promise, Lu Jiu closed his eyes, bit his lips, and his body began to contract uncontrollably.

He shouted out loud, completely caught up in the whirlpool of passion.

*

Lu Jiu didn't know how Wu Xing and the four Lu family members were dealt with, and he didn't ask.

Anyway, when they woke up the next day, the hall where they had met was clean and tidy, without any trace left.

The servants and guards in the mansion also looked normal, as if nothing had happened.

After experiencing a slight disturbance, the days fell into calm again.

But from that day on, Lu Jiu noticed that Wei Nanlou would often become absent-minded.

Sometimes he was weaving the flowers that Xu Yin sent him. This guy looked at his hand movements, thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Lu Jiu plucked a small pink flower, broke off the stem, raised her hand and inserted it into his black hair.

The Duke looked up and stared at his hands.

"I dressed you like this before, don't you remember?" Lu Jiu had let it go and said cheerfully, "If you don't remember, I'll make you remember it again."

Sometimes it's a time for intimacy.

Wei Nanlou would kiss someone and then suddenly stop.

At that moment, the Duke's breath sprayed on the back of his neck, hot and itchy.

The man suddenly asked, "Have I bit you here before?"

Lu Jiu laughed grimly: "Not just once?"

——The Duke is obviously trying hard to find memories of the past.

In addition, there has been another change recently - Wei Nanlou's visits to the palace have obviously decreased, but each time he goes, the time will be longer.

Lu Jiu didn't ask much about these serious matters, but he would still get a glimpse of clues from other people's mouths.

More than half a month later, A Yue came to play with him.

After chatting about some random things, Ah Yue stopped cracking melon seeds, looked around, and seeing that no one was around, she quickly moved her chair next to him and whispered, "Do you know about Count Beren?"

"...What's the matter?" Lu Jiu was still cracking melon seeds.

"Didn't the Duke tell you?" A Yue hesitated and said, "Count Beren sent out invitations a few days ago, but it is said that no one accepted the invitation. He was very angry and ran to the palace to ask His Majesty to award you to him."

Lu Jiu almost choked.

"What does it have to do with me?!"

"You're just taking your anger out on him," Ah Yue said sheepishly, "He has close relationships with several ministers, and he also has a good relationship with His Majesty. Everyone used to flatter him, but now they don't, so he must be uncomfortable with it."

Lu Jiu continued to crack melon seeds, thinking absentmindedly...that was none of his business!

"But you don't have to worry too much. He's dead. He's been accused of buying and selling orcs and abusing them to death. All the bodies buried in the backyard have been dug out. He'll be beheaded in ten days."

Lu Jiu almost choked again.

So fast?!

He turned his head and looked at A Yue.

Ah Yue also looked at him, knowing what he wanted to ask, and said dryly: "Your Majesty is young and has no decisiveness in such matters. It was your Duke who gave the order."

"It's being said outside that the evidence was prepared long ago, probably since the last banquet. It's obvious that his death was scheduled at that time. So from now on, well, anyone can have their eyes on the throne, but as long as you want to stay alive, don't have your eyes on you. Once they have their eyes on you, you're really dead."

...Wow, he has also become Daji, huh?

*

The Imperial Palace.

After a fierce quarrel in the study, the corridor became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

All the servants were standing outside the door, with their heads down, holding their breath, cold sweat quietly seeping through their clothes.

Ran Ye was among them. He froze on the ground, not daring to move.

After a while, the voice of the Duke calling his servants was heard from inside.

The head attendant hurriedly came forward with two subordinates and pushed the door open.

The room is brightly lit.

After entering, they still kept their heads down, not daring to breathe, and cleaned up quickly.

There were all kinds of things scattered on the ground, pens, papers, books, an overturned ink bottle, and a large black ink stain on the carpet.

His Majesty's rapid breathing could be heard from behind the desk beside him, carrying with it a lingering anger.

The young man gnashed his teeth and asked, "Did you do this on purpose? You want to take revenge on me? I was just joking, and that Wu Xing foolishly went to find you. Didn't you already deal with him privately? Isn't that enough?"

“What kind of revenge is it to sentence a sinner according to the law?”

The graceful and dignified man sat with his legs crossed on a chair a little further away from the desk, his tone calm.

The servants lowered their heads even more, their palms sweaty.

"...You can save anyone if you want."

"Why should I save Beren?"

“…He is my uncle.”

"He has no blood relationship with you, and he has also led you to develop some bad habits. If those orcs had not dared to come forward to identify him, he would have died three years ago."

"...You either drove away or killed all the people I liked. Uncle, what do you want to do?" The boy's voice became sharp. "Do you want to isolate me? Make me your puppet, so that I can't have any ideas of my own and must listen to you in everything. Use my pen to write down your decrees? Don't forget that before my mother left, she only asked you to take care of me temporarily, not to give you the throne!"

The servants' scalps tightened, they picked up their things, turned around and walked out of the door, closing it.

The handsome man sitting on the chair raised his lips and laughed.

"The people you like are those who are of no use other than teaching you how to torture beastmen and squander your time?"

Xu Ning froze.

The man didn't seem to be interested in continuing the conversation about this matter, which was obviously meaningless, and his next sentence changed the subject.

"I gave you a chance."

"And yet your method of killing me is so unskillful."

Xu Ning was stunned, and when he came to his senses, his face suddenly changed.

Wh, what?

What's the meaning? !

His heartbeat quickened like a drum, and a layer of sweat broke out on his back.

This guy...

...Could it be that this man knew everything about the attack on the ship from beginning to end?

Xu Ning's mind went blank. When he noticed the calmness in the man's dark gray eyes, he realized something else with fear:

——This man was even waiting for him to kill him that day.

That assassination was simply a test that this man tacitly approved.

…

Xu Ning had long wanted to get rid of this existence that he had hated for so long.

He didn't know when he began to hate his uncle.

Even though this man had never been intimate with him and rarely gave him a friendly smile, it seemed that he had never done anything that crossed the line. He just followed the queen mother's wishes and served as his teacher in a plain and ordinary manner.

When did it start?

It seems that it is after he gets to know more and more friends.

His world became bigger and his horizons broadened, and he suddenly discovered that everything he took for granted was not what he had imagined in the eyes of others.

Those friends reminded him to be vigilant against this silent erosion. Although Wei Nanlou seemed to be guarding the boundary, it was actually keeping him trapped in a small circle drawn by a pen.

One day, this quiet but ambitious duke would throw a fire into this circle and let it burn him to death.

After hearing those words, Xu Ning naturally began to feel suspicious.

He began to make cautious attempts, wanting to try to do something on his own, but soon realized that Wei Nanlou would indeed suppress him.

This suppression was subtle and in the past, Xu Ning would never have noticed it. However, by then, he was no longer the fool he used to be.

The resistance in my heart began to accumulate.

…

On the ship that day, he wanted to let his trusted guards use muskets directly, but the sound of muskets was too loud, and he was afraid that it would attract the attention of everyone on the ship. If the plan went wrong, he would not be able to explain the attack.

Xu Ning always wanted to do something, but was always afraid that he would not be able to solve the subsequent troubles.

Looking back and forth, hesitant.

The most tragic consequence of this temperament was the attack that day - in the end, he did not kill the man.

The man's blood floated on the sea surface below the boat, and his figure could not be seen at a glance.

Xu Ning thought that the man had sunk to the bottom of the sea, so he pretended to send people to search for him, but in the end he saw him returning intact.

There was never any discussion between the uncle and nephew about this matter.

His uncle was already accustomed to assassinations, and he himself pretended that the matter had nothing to do with him.

I didn’t expect... this man knew everything!

…

At this moment, all of Xu Ning's anger was instantly washed away by the basin of cold water that hit him.

He was stunned, shocked, unbelievable and ashamed.

He couldn't say a word and could only stare blankly at Wei Nanlou standing up.

This man was in a dull mood. From this face, Xu Ning sensed a hint of something he had been searching for for a long time but had never found, which made him even more suspicious.

His uncle didn't even bother to take care of the mess in their royal family.

Wei Nanlou opened the door and walked out of the room.

He said to the servants outside, "Guard this place and don't let him out."

The servants bowed their heads in agreement.

Even until the door was slammed shut, Xu Ning still didn't understand.

——If that’s the case, why keep him under house arrest?
