The coolness of the fishtail touching her burning body sent a shiver down their spines.

Jialan's eyes deepened in color, and his hands instinctively grasped her soft waist.

The atmosphere around the two gradually changed, and no one else could be seen besides them.

As their eyes met, the wizard raised his hand, and suddenly a column of water rose from the sea, drenching the two who were embracing each other.

“Jialan, I’m sending you into the human world to witness the wickedness of humanity and raise your awareness, not to have you put yourself to death.”

Jialan pushed Yunlian away immediately.

"Master, I was wrong!"

Feeling the burning pain in her buttocks, Yun Lian glared at Jia Lan with hostility.

Great, I've been thrown twice today.

The wizard's platinum-gold curly hair resembled a wolf's tail, radiating a faint glow, while a teardrop-shaped transparent crystal drooped from between his brows, refracting a cold light.

Just like him, he was aloof and mysterious.

"Go down and receive your punishment."

"Yes, Master."

Yun Lian lazily watched the backs of the two little fish and asked, "Then where should I go?"

003 gloated: "Of course, she'd become a music box dancer!"

Haha, who told the host to tease that little apprentice?

"Come with me."

A cold voice rang out, and both Jialan and the system were taken aback.

No, this isn't what they expected.

"Master, I kidnapped this little human..."

He even wanted to take Yun Lian back to his room when his master wasn't looking.

The wizard glanced at him sideways, the pressure in his eyes almost causing him to lose his human form.

"What's wrong with me taking away the humans you kidnapped?"

Jialan lowered her long eyelashes, her voice trembling slightly: "No, no problem."

Yun Lian patted the sand and stones off her body, and followed the wizard barefoot. She smiled and took a few steps forward to walk alongside him.

The wizard frowned, but seeing the tiny scratches on the soles of her feet from the sand and gravel, he ultimately said nothing.

His fingers flew, forming an ancient incantation. Instantly, the sand and stones beneath Yun Lian's feet softened and stopped being rough.

Yun Lian gazed at his platinum curls, beneath which lay a sheer, translucent top embroidered with intricate patterns, partially concealing his powerful physique.

As he walked, the muscles in his waist were faintly visible.

He also wore a waist chain made of precious gems and seashells.

Her profile was the most beautiful face Yun Lian had ever seen; it was truly a masterpiece of Nuwa's skill.

His emerald-green eyes made one want to hold all the beautiful things in the world in his hands.

Yun Lian was engrossed in watching when his warning voice slowly reached her ears: "If you don't want your eyes, you can donate them."

It was only then that Yun Lian realized that Jia Lan had disappeared, and before she knew it, only the two of them remained.

Yun Lian crossed her arms and said, "That won't do. If it weren't for my eyes, there would be one less person in this world to appreciate your beauty. Wouldn't that be a waste of talent? What a pity!"

"Glib-tongued humans."

As soon as Yun Lian stepped into her luxurious room, she only had time to glance at the huge, blood-red coral before her head was covered with a white cloth.

"Clean the whole room again."

Yun Lian pointed at herself in disbelief: "Me? You brought me here specifically so I could clean for you?"

The wizard looked down at Yun Lian from his high position: "Otherwise what? What value do you think you have?"

After he finished speaking, he started fiddling with some oddly colored bottles and jars.

Yun Lian resignedly took the rag and wiped it.

His room had an entire wall of books and documents, the paper yellowed and worn from years of handling, the edges of which were already frayed.

After Yun Lian finished cleaning up, she found him still sitting there motionless.

When he wasn't speaking, he was so beautiful that it was hard to tell if he was male or female.

Just sitting there, he was a stunning portrait; even the slightest breeze seemed to linger, lest it disturb him.

Yun Lian walked closer step by step, sat opposite him, rested her chin on her hands, and looked at him intently.

The wizard practically ignored her, seeing nothing but the solution in his eyes.

In an instant, the red and green liquid in his bottle turned into a black mass. Enraged, the wizard smashed the glass container on the ground, shattering it into pieces.

The black liquid inside instantly corroded a large section of the floor.

"Oh dear, you didn't add Azure Blue, it's bound to fail."

The wizard looked up in disbelief at the human he had stolen.

"Do you understand?"

Yun Lian's lips curled up: "It's just a bottle of healing potion, what's so hard to understand?"

The wizard pursed his lips.

If he hadn't been able to see through the water mirror how she was kidnapped by his apprentice, he would have suspected that she was a human spy deliberately planted there.

He fights against humanity and controls the mental power of high-level humans, but the backlash against him is equally powerful.

I endure excruciating pain almost every day.

"You can come?"

Yun Lian rubbed her hands together, a sly look on her face like that of a little fox.

"It's not that I can't come, but I need you to agree to one condition."

Is it finally going to be exposed?

The wizard sneered inwardly, but showed no sign of it on his face.

"I can agree to whatever I can."

A ruthless glint flashed in the wizard's eyes. As long as the little human helped him successfully develop an even more advanced healing potion.

Then, when the holy medicine succeeds, he will choose a way of death that will bring her relief.

Yun Lian started fiddling with the bottles and jars on the table.

"I want to live with you."

"What?"

The wizard thought he had misheard and asked in doubt.

He is someone that is feared and avoided by both the merfolk and the human world.

No one had ever dared to make such a request to him.

Yun Lian moved quickly. She could identify the medicinal herbs in the various solutions on the table with just a glance or a sniff, as if she had practiced it a thousand times.

She stopped what she was doing, her expression earnest: "I said I want to live with you, Jialan's dearest master~"

The wizard's emerald green eyes were fixed on her, as if trying to see into the depths of her soul.

Why would you ask this question?

He thought she would ask him to let her return to the human world.

Yun Lian reached out and touched his fingers, which were slightly curled up from the force he was exerting.

Even his fingers were ice-cold.

It feels very comfortable to the touch.

Yun Lian looked into his eyes with deep affection and said in a sweet voice, "Because I fell in love with Master at first sight."

hehe.

Love at first sight is nothing more than lust at first sight.

The wizard mentally labeled her as glib and didn't seem to care much: "Okay."

Keeping it in sight is fine, but eventually the fox's tail will be revealed.

He wanted to see what kind of trouble this petite human could cause.

Yun Lian received an affirmative answer and happily went to prepare the medicine.

Her focused and attentive gaze captivated the wizard.

He blurted out, as if possessed, "My name is Zhuyue, don't call me Master anymore."

Yun Lian slowly raised her head, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

"What did you say?"
