83 The Eighth Store

◎He felt something was wrong.◎

Zeyuan slowly leaned over to Luyao, his eyelids drooping slightly, his half-lidded red eyes reflecting an intoxicating stream of light, like a delicate honey persimmon hanging from a tree.

He wanted to kiss her, the thought came so suddenly, as if it had already been swirling in his heart countless times, and finally he had the chance to succeed.

Zeyuan carefully watched Luyao's expression, his heart pounding, but there was a sense of emptiness in his chest, as if there was a small hole in it, letting out a little air.

He probably felt that something was not right, and wanted to endure it, but it seemed as if something was urging him to take a step closer.

Thinking too much slowed down his reaction.

When he approached, Lu Yao had a premonition. Her face was calm, and only her rapid heartbeat showed that she was also nervous.

But after a long while, he was still there.

The sea of ​​tears was rippling with lavender waves, and the mermaid's singing was sometimes far away and sometimes near, with endless sorrow and lingering. Lu Yao

blinked and slowly raised her eyes. The young man's appearance was clearly reflected in the depths of her light brown pupils.

His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and there was a little irritation in his pupils, and he seemed to be a little confused and entangled.

Lu Yao was a little helpless, so she took a step forward, held his chest, and slowly tiptoed.

Zeyuan's eyes were blank for a moment, then he realized her intention and was suddenly dazzled by an inexplicable ecstasy.

After looking at each other for a few seconds, he slowly and obediently closed his eyes.

Lu Yao paused slightly: "..."

The waves rustled, and time seemed to have passed for a long time. The pressure on his chest disappeared, and Zeyuan opened his eyes in confusion.

It's... over?

He felt something was wrong.

Mobao lay on the table, covering his eyes with his hands, but couldn't help but peek through his fingers, and his face suddenly changed.

Your Majesty stood alone by the window sill, and Lu Yao, who was with him just now, was gone.

There was no trace of her in the room. Zeyuan squatted down, and there was a shallow mark of water on the floor.

Mobao jumped off the table and transformed into a young boy: "Where is Lu Yao?"

Zeyuan's red eyes were dark: "I'm afraid he was kidnapped by a mermaid."

Mobao covered his face. His Majesty was really useless.

Under normal circumstances, how could the person be kidnapped by a mermaid when he was right in front of him?

Unless His Majesty was flustered and distracted at the time, and had no vigilance to his surroundings.

Mobao looked at Zeyuan and thought of Ji Chong, who was drunk and useless not long ago. The child was so worried that his hair turned white.

---

The mermaid's sad and lingering singing was close to his ears. Lu Yao's eyelids trembled. He wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't lift them.

The sound of water gurgling, the familiar yet unfamiliar smell of water filled her nostrils, Lu Yao felt herself falling into a cool and soft embrace, and then being wrapped by the sea water, sinking to the bottom.

"Girl, girl, wake up."

Lu Yao opened her eyes, the scene in front of her was familiar yet unfamiliar.

She was at the bottom of the sea, her hands and feet tied up by seaweed, living in a small transparent house similar to a glass bottle.

Or rather, this is the Crystal Palace.

Because there is a furry little shop opened in the deep sea, Lu Yao has become desensitized to the deep sea, and has no reaction to the huge school of fish swimming slowly outside the Crystal Palace.

She lay on her back, staring at the school of fish swimming outside the ceiling in a daze, and it was clearly just a little bit away just now.

On the clamshell bed opposite Lu Yao lay an old woman with shaggy silver hair. It was she who had called Lu Yao before.

The old woman was not tied up by seaweed, but she had problems with her legs and feet, and had difficulty moving.

Seeing Lu Yao wake up, she was not moving or talking, and she was anxious: "Girl, are you okay?"

Lu Yao struggled to move her hands and feet, and sat up against the pillar. She saw the old woman opposite: "Old Madam Xie?"

The old woman's eyes lit up: "Do you know me?"

Lu Yao simply revealed to the old woman the recent rumors in Neon City, that only the young master and the old lady of the Xie Mansion were abducted by the mermaids, and it was not difficult to recognize them by name. Old Madam Xie

saw that Lu Yao was tied up tightly and dressed as a monk, and thought she was a powerful character.

After listening to Lu Yao's analysis, the wrinkles on Mrs. Xie's face seemed to be a little lighter, and the forced smile disappeared.

This little girl is also an ordinary person. She doesn't even know why she was kidnapped, and she can't be expected to help save people.

Lu Yao thought Mrs. Xie was talking about him, and immediately said, "I'll think of a way, don't worry." Mrs.

Xie slowly lay back on the bed. She looked so experienced that she didn't look like someone who was kidnapped. There was a strange sense of resignation in her tone of voice.

"Even if you break free and run away, there is water all under the deep sea and outside the Crystal Palace. Where can you escape to?" Old Lady Xie turned over and took the shark veil to cover herself. "Don't provoke the shark monster, or she will feed you to the fish. You, wait for the shark monster to come and ask her why she captured you. If you do what she wants, she might let you go."

The scene in front of her was a wonder. Lu Yuan With a slight movement of his mind, his hand had already reached out to his personal storage, but when he touched the props, he retracted his hand: "Is that mermaid so easy to talk to? From your tone, why do I feel like you seem to know him?"

Old Madam Xie sighed: "It's a bad fate, it's better not to talk about it."

The people of Nicheng all said that the Xie family was miserable. Half a year ago, they were targeted by a mermaid, and a young master was lost. Then the old lady was abducted and her life or death was unknown.

It seems that there are hidden secrets in this legend that others don't know.

Lu Yao tried hard to kneel down and lean against the pillar. His hands moved slowly behind his back. He took out a crystal core liquid spring knife from his personal storage and was about to cut the seaweed that bound his ankles.

Someone came over.

It was a female mermaid with long hair like algae and bright and delicate facial features. Her upper body was naked, with half of her long black hair scattered on her chest. She had a huge light pink fish tail trailing behind her, and the mermaid

pearls and jade beads hanging around her waist jingled as the mermaid moved. Lu Yao had seen mermaids in Alexandria before. Mermaids are similar to mermaids, but not exactly the same.

Mermaids have more obvious demonic nature. When Lu Yao saw her shimmering tail for the first time, his back went numb and he felt an indescribable fear that was almost suffocating.

The mermaid was holding a jade plate, which seemed to contain some food.

She casually placed the jade plate on the side of the old woman's bed and turned to look at Lu Yao: "You woke up so quickly."

Lu Yao let out a breath slowly and tried to communicate: "Why did you bring me here?"

The mermaid said: "Box, you smell like a box."

Lu Yao's brows relaxed, it was indeed that box.

She hooked her fingers and took out a box from her portable storage: "This?"

When the mermaid saw the box, her eyes lit up: "I knew it was in your hands. This is my treasure, no one can take it away." Lu

Yao: "I'll give you the box back, and leave the rouge and powder to me."

The mermaid raised her head and looked at Lu Yao with a smile: "Which man gave you these?"

Lu Yao: "..."

The mermaid took out a box of lipstick from the dressing box, opened the lid, dipped a little with her fingertips, and applied it on the back of her hand: "I saw it all, you were standing by the window, just a little bit away."

"..." Lu Yao lowered his eyes, what a pervert this guy is.

Seeing that Lu Yao didn't react, the mermaid felt bored and stopped teasing her. She picked out the rouge and powder from the box and piled them all at Lu Yao's feet.

"I understand your thoughts. This treasure box was made for me by my sweetheart when we were in love. But a man's heart is like the sand on the shore, worthless."

Lu Yao: "...I'll return the box to you, can I leave now?"

The mermaid came over: "Don't you believe me?" Lu

Yao: "...I do."

The mermaid suddenly became excited: "You are lying. You are just like them, laughing at my jokes!"

Lu Yao: "...No."

The mermaid believed that Lu Yao was lying and didn't want to talk to her anymore. She took the box away and ignored Lu Yao.

The mermaid came and left in a hurry, not caring about Mrs. Xie lying on the other side.

The room became quiet, and Lu Yao took out the crystal core liquid knife again and easily cut the seaweed that bound his hands and feet.

She stood up and shook off the seaweed, then squatted down and put the small porcelain jars scattered on the floor back into her personal storage.

Old Madam Xie was about to go to sleep, but when she heard the noise, she saw Lu Yao's smooth movements: "Are you a monk?"

Lu Yao shook his head: "Mortal."

But Old Madam Xie didn't believe it, and sat up with her hands on the bed.

Lu Yao knew that the "unspoken" fate was about to surface.

Old Madam Xie looked at Lu Yao and said, "I am an old man and will not live much longer. I am fine with being imprisoned here. But my grandson is only seventeen years old and has excellent physique. He should not waste his time in this deep sea. Girl, if you can escape, I have something to ask of you. No matter what means you use, please take my grandson with you." Lu

Yao was surprised: "Young Master Xie is here too?"

Young Master Xie Zili of the Xie family has been abducted by a mermaid for half a year. The outside world has been saying that his life or death is unknown, but in fact, it has been tacitly accepted that he has already become a dead soul in the sea.

Old Madam Xie nodded vaguely: "Yeah."

Lu Yao: "Why did the mermaid capture you and Young Master Xie?"

---

The mermaid is called Jiao Niang.

About twenty years ago, she was washed ashore by the waves and lost her memory. She was rescued by nearby fishermen.

Jiao Niang was originally a mermaid. After she came ashore, her fish tail turned into a pair of human legs.

She was born beautiful and charming. Men from all over the country could not walk when they saw her.

The women in the fishing village did not like it. While the men were out fishing, they secretly drove Jiao Niang out of the village.

Jiao Niang, a beautiful and amnesiac weak woman, could not survive outside.

As expected, she was deceived and sold to a brothel.

Jiao Niang was stunningly beautiful, and the old brothel owner regarded her as a "rare commodity".

The eldest son of the Xie family was coaxed into the brothel by his friends when he was drunk, and fell in love with Jiao Niang at first sight.

Soon after, Jiao Niang was taken into the Xie family and became the concubine of the eldest son.

At that time, Master Xie was not married yet, but he was determined to take Jiao Niang in.

He really loved her at that time, and even if he ruined his future, he wanted to be a fairy couple with her.

Three years passed like this, and Jiao Niang became pregnant.

It was supposed to be a happy event, but as her belly grew bigger, Jiao Niang's body began to show some changes - scales appeared from time to time behind her ears and under her cheeks, and short fins grew on her arms.

Later, when she took a bath, Jiao Niang's legs turned into fish tails, filling the entire bathtub, scaring the maid to scream.

Master Xie only took a look and fainted.

Jiao Niang was a demon.

Even though she was beautiful, gentle and sensible, and had never hurt anyone, Master Xie could not accept it.

He locked himself in the room for three days, and when he came out, his face was numb, and he ordered people to move Jiao Niang out of the main courtyard.

On the night when Jiao Niang gave birth, Master Xie married his first wife. Madam

Xie's face was gloomy: "Jiao Niang gave birth to a boy. The child is white and clean, without a single scale on his body. We thought he didn't inherit his mother's bloodline."

As expected, the half-demon's bloodline still awakened.

Lu Yao couldn't help but say: "... Actually, Jiao Niang is not wrong."

Madam Xie shook her head: "She is a demon. If she was your bedmate, wouldn't you be worried or afraid?"

Lu Yao thought about it seriously and shook his head: "If I chose him myself, then I should be able to accept him no matter what he looks like."

Madam Xie: "..."

[Author's words]

Caught a bug.

Jiao Niang: Yes, it's just to catch people at the right time, on purpose!
