Mu Huan rolled his eyes inwardly. "You're just introducing me, young master, why do you have to finish by saying you don't kill?" This thick sense of danger! It's hard not to be wary of you.
But, "merman?" Isn't this a race that only existed in ancient books and was said to have been exterminated? As expected, ancient books really can't be trusted. They always lie to her! She should read less in the future, hahaha!
Ahem, business is more important! Mu Huan had a lot of thoughts in her mind, but on the surface she still looked serious. After all, her life and Tan Tai Luo's life were on the edge of a cliff!
"That's right! I'm the eldest prince of the mermaid tribe." The man's tone was not a trace of arrogance, but full of humility and courtesy. His every gesture revealed the demeanor of a prince, this is what it means to be as gentle as jade!
Mu Huan and Tan Tai Luo were feeling elated. No! They couldn't be seduced by beauty!
"Then why are you going out to sea?" Tan Tai Luo already felt that she was about to be fascinated by this man. As expected, what they said about the mermaids being all good-looking was true!
"My father sensed that there were distinguished guests from overseas, so he specially ordered me to come and investigate!" The man had a gentle smile on his face, but the smile did not reach his eyes, and there was a hint of alienation.
"Then your father must be wrong. There is no one here except the two of us!" Although they knew that the other party might be coming for them, they could only delay it for a while and absolutely could not take the initiative to step into the unknown risks.
"Miss, you're joking. Aren't the distinguished guests your father mentioned the two of you?" The man was not annoyed. He could clearly see the rejection on the other's face, but he still had to maintain his demeanor.
"No kidding, my sister and I were just out for some fun and happened to walk here!" Mu Huan's ability to lie was only getting better with each passing day. He absolutely couldn't go with them now, or else he'd end up buried in the sea, and his beautiful master would be heartbroken.
Play? Tan Tai Luo's eyes widened. Who would come to the ancient battlefield to play? But seeing the hint in Mu Huan's eyes, he immediately understood. Although handsome men are very attractive, life is still the most important thing. Everything else can be put aside.
"That's right, my sister and I just happened to pass by here. The sea looked so beautiful that we couldn't help but stop for a moment!" Tan Tai Luo quickly spoke to Mu Huan, and the two of them sang the same tune. The servants behind the man almost believed their lies.
"Since you are interested in this sea, why don't you two girls go to the depths of the sea? It is much more exciting there than the surface!" The man seemed determined to take Mu Huan and Tan Tai Luo away.
Two fists can't beat four hands! Mu Huan glanced at the long line of servants behind the man, his throat rolling and swallowing. As the saying goes, a good man never suffers a loss in front of him, right? Now, whether he sticks his head out or hides it, he will be cut off.
"Then I'll have to trouble Your Highness to lead the way?" Mu Huan stretched out his hand from under his sleeve and placed it on Tan Tai Luo's hand. He comforted him and looked at the man with very "sincere" eyes.
"Please!" The man stretched out his hand and led the way.
The originally calm sea surface suddenly rolled up and split in the middle, revealing a sea road paved with all kinds of shells. It looked like a rich man's home!
"Two girls, please!"
I have done a lot of work on the surface, but I don’t know if I can get out once I step in.
Mu Huan smiled bitterly in his heart. This was truly a helpless move. Holding Tan Tai Luo's hand, the two of them had to stick together at all times. At least if they died, they wanted to die together, right?
The shell path is long but easy to walk on. Fish of all sizes swim along the sides, occasionally darting through the seaweed, creating a pleasant sight.
But Mu Huan and Tan Tai Luo were in no mood to watch. They were tense, afraid that something might suddenly happen to them. After all, the sea was different from the land. They didn't know how to swim and would easily suffer a loss.
"We're here!" The man paused, looking at the stern-faced Mu Huan and Tan Tai Luo with amusement. "Don't worry, young ladies. We mermaids are very hospitable." He meant, "Don't be so scared. We won't eat you."
"We're not afraid!" Mu Huan said tremblingly, "It's just that some of us are not used to the local climate. Yes! Not used to the local climate!" I'm not afraid of a ghost! You may look good, but how do I know if you can eat people?
As the saying goes, a bird in human clothing is a beast. You all look good on the surface, but no one knows what you are like behind the scenes.
"My name is Lan Xi! You two girls can call me if you need anything!" Lan Xi's eyes were smiling. It seemed that the people coming this time were much more interesting than last time! This time, Sea City wouldn't be so boring!
Who wants to know your name!!! Mu Huan had a lot of things in his mind, but he had to hold them in.
"You are a prince. It may be inappropriate for us to call you by your name without hesitation!" Just refuse. It's right to refuse. Your life is the most important!
"Then please do as you please, ladies. I'm fine with anything!" Lan Xi's face showed no sign of displeasure, but rather a permissive attitude, as if to say, "You can make as much trouble as you want, I don't mind!" The maids following behind her gnashed their teeth at the sight.
Prince Lanxi is the man most desired by all the mermaids in Sea City. He is always smiling, gentle, never loses his temper, and treats his servants equally. But what's puzzling is that while the other princes have wives and concubines, Prince Lanxi remains single.
Mu Huan nodded awkwardly, suddenly feeling rather tactless. She clenched her hand around Tan Tai Luo, asking her to give her strength because her legs were weak. This Lan Xi person's behavior was flawless, yet she felt strange and dangerous.
"Young ladies, please follow me to the main hall to see our father!"
Yes, yes, finally getting to the point. I feel like my life is in danger! What should I do?!
"Okay!" God knows how she managed to say the word "Okay". Mu Huan felt that she was too cowardly today, but she didn't want to! This kind of danger hidden in the dark was really creepy.
Especially this eldest prince, there must be something fishy going on! Don’t ask, it’s just intuition!
Just like that, Mu Huan and Tan Tai Luo followed Lan Xi to the main hall. The whole hall was extremely bright. The largest night pearls could be seen everywhere. Even the places where everyone sat were surrounded by pearls.
What a sinful life!
"Father, this is the distinguished guest you predicted!" Lan Xi bowed, his gestures showing respect for the person sitting at the top.
"Okay, okay! You've worked hard. Go sit aside!" It's true that like father, like son. The son is gentle and well-mannered, and it turns out it's all because of his father.
"Welcome, ladies! This is such a great honor for our mermaid tribe!" The mermaid king smiled kindly. He couldn't remember how long it had been, but he hoped the people this time could hold out a little longer.
There's no need to shine, after all, the night-shining pearls here are bright enough. Of course, Mu Huan could only complain about these things in her heart. If she really said them out loud, sorry, she didn't have the guts to do it!
"No, it's our honor to be able to come to the mermaid tribe! We have to thank the Mermaid King for giving us sisters the opportunity to broaden our horizons!"
