Chapter 394 Get Your Attention

Austria, the Royal Palace.

The servant brought in a plate of conch shells.

"Wang Ci, these are the most beautiful singing beastmen among the merfolk. Listen and see if there are any you don't like."

Jiang Xi counted them and there were more than thirty conches.

Inside each conch shell, like a recording, are the songs of different mermaids.

She didn't need that many mermaids; she planned to choose just a few. So she picked up the conch shells one by one and started listening.

Amidst the sound of the waves, the mermaid's song was melodious, carrying a hint of allure.

But perhaps due to the different mediums of communication, this seduction did not reach the point of making Jiang Xi lose her composure.

Some have soft, beautiful voices, some are cold, some are deep, and some are like they were all made from the same mold, with formulaic and template-like delivery.

She removed the formulaic and templated approaches, and then handed the rest back to the beast servant.

"Choose one from these."

The beast-beast attendant carried the conch shell down to the council chamber and presented it to the king.

Osiris discarded the females he had eliminated and laid out the rest on the table, listening to them one by one.

He then removed the seductive quality from some of the voices.

Finally, he had the portraits of these merman beastmen brought to him, removing those with excessively outstanding appearances and keeping ten.

Mermaids are known for their striking appearance and are often referred to as the fox clan of the sea.

Therefore, even if the ten with the worst appearances were carefully selected, they would still be outstanding among land-based beastmen.

However, this is the only way.

Jiang Xi had no idea what Osiris had done, but even if she did, she wouldn't care. After all, she only intended to listen casually and had no intention of getting involved with ten or eight people.

The country of the sea is located in the sea, and its cuisine is mostly seafood.

We also had seafood for lunch today, and it was all the kind of seafood that Jiang Xi likes.

Stir-fry, steamed dishes with dipping sauce, seafood hot pot, cold seaweed salad, stir-fried vegetables, and more, and rice is also served.

Every time Jiang Xi ate, she felt that the eating habits of this world were exactly the same as her original ones. If it weren't for the fact that she often saw the beastmen's animal ears and tails, she would never have thought that she had transmigrated.

Osiris would eat with her every day and help her peel shrimp and crabs.

Jiang Xi ate it with a "whoosh," completely satisfied.

"It's so delicious!"

It's exactly to her taste!

Osiris's lips curled up slightly, his eyes full of smiles.

"If the female master likes to eat, then eat more; there's still plenty left."

Jiang Xi held the bowl and nodded, "Mmm."

Osiris used a handkerchief to wipe the seafood juice from the corner of the female's lips.

"Eat slowly, mistress, don't choke."

Jiang Xi gave a thumbs up repeatedly.

"It's so delicious!"

Osiris watched the female master eat and started eating as well.

He ate slowly and gracefully, but his gaze remained fixed on the female master, as if he were eating not lunch, but the female master.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Xi felt so full that her lower abdomen bulged slightly.

She felt she would gain weight if she continued eating like this, so she decided to go for a walk to digest her food.

Osiris accompanied her for a walk on the beach.

Along the long coastline, she collected some colorful seashells, intending to make wind chimes.

As the sea breeze blew, Jiang Xi thought of Lu Liufeng.

She turned her head to look at Osiris, whose gentle amber eyes also looked down at her.

Jiang Xi was inexplicably moved and asked.

"Osiris, do you and the split personality within you share memories? Will he know that we are taking a walk on the beach right now?"

Osiris didn't answer, but instead asked, "Does the Mistress want to see Lu Liufeng?"

Jiang Xi shook his hand.

"No, it's just that it's strange; he hasn't shown up for several days."

Osiris stroked the female's soft hair.

"Perhaps he realized that he was just a split personality and disappeared."

"Disappeared?" Jiang Xi felt a tightness in her chest when she heard this.

"How could that be? Didn't you say there would be many more in the future?"

Osiris pursed his lips.

"Is the female master tired of me and wants to choose a new beast husband?"

Jiang Xi's dark eyes widened, and she quickly waved her hand.

"No, no, I won't choose it."

She grabbed his hand and shook it.

"Having you is enough for me."

Osiris smiled, bent down, and kissed the corner of the Mistress's lips.

"I knew it, the female master likes me the most."

Jiang Xi touched her lips and smiled shyly.

Even though they were already extremely intimate, she still felt embarrassed by his casual kisses anytime and anywhere.

Suddenly, the sound of a tail slapping the water echoed from the beach.

Jiang Xi turned her head and found a black fish with a very long tail stranded on the beach.

"A fish has become stranded!"

She grabbed Osiris and ran over quickly.

She bent down, squatted down, picked up the palm-sized black fish with a very long tail, and put it into the sea.

The black fish had azure blue eyes, which were very anthropomorphic, making Jiang Xi feel inexplicably that the black fish knew her when she looked at it.

"Is it a beastman's cub? Or just a regular sea fish?"

She put the blackfish into the water.

The blackfish didn't speak, so it must be a purely sea fish.

She took Osiris's hand and continued walking.

But soon, the familiar sound of the stranded object being pounded rang out again.

She turned her head and saw it was that black fish again.

She was stunned.

"Why is it stranded again?"

Osiris looked at the black fish, his amber eyes narrowing slightly.

"Does the mistress want to eat fish? Let's make braised fish for dinner tonight."

Jiang Xi saw him looking at the stranded black fish and quickly shook her head.

"Let's send him back into the sea."

The fish's eyes were too human-like; she couldn't bring herself to eat it.

She returned the blackfish to the sea.

But this time, the blackfish wrapped its tail around her fingers and wouldn't let go or go into the sea.

Jiang Xi was both amused and exasperated.

She squatted by the sea, looking up at Osiris.

"What should we do?"

Osiris bent down, pinched the blackfish's tail with two fingers, lifted it up, and with a flick of his wrist, flung it into the shimmering sea.

He clapped his hands.

"That's good."

Jiang Xi blinked.

"It seems so."

Osiris glanced into the sea, bent down, picked up the female, spread his wings, and flew into the sky.

"The sun is getting too strong, let's go back."

He spoke in a consultative tone, but his actions showed no intention of negotiation. He directly carried the female master back to the palace.

A moment later, the boy's cold and stern face emerged from the sea, with the black fish swimming beside him, its tone somewhat anxious.

"At this rate, there's no way to get close."

Kanases watched the black dot disappear into the sky and pursed his lips.

“Osiris probably recognized my voice and wasn’t selected. You go.”

Cecilia remained silent.

"How can I go looking like this?"

Karnassus, "Let the orcs who deliver fish to the palace every day capture you."

Most marine creatures wouldn't recognize an arowana; with a little disguise, it can easily blend in.

After a moment of silence, Cecilia agreed to his plan.

"Fine, I'm not going to get cooked anyway."
