Mu Mu was terrified, his eyes wide open, and a layer of mist covered his eyes due to fear. The scales on his tail exploded slightly, and the whole fish froze in place.
He frantically called the system in his mind, but there was no response from the other party.
"Tsk." The man behind him stroked his chin, feeling the tenderness of his skin. "Xiaoyu, do you see that guy in front of you? He's a famous fish digger. If you don't want to be gutted and made into a dish, don't yell. Understand?"
The man's voice was calm, and even when he was saying such harsh words that scared the fish, his voice was still pleasant and magnetic.
Mu Mu was so frightened that his face turned pale. He didn't move at all, and his scales seemed to explode. He nodded hurriedly.
He came here to find food, but he didn't want to become someone else's dish.
Mu Mu's eyes turned red with anxiety. His face was small, and the man could cover it completely with one hand. When covering his mouth, he inevitably covered his nose as well.
Mu Miao couldn't breathe, and a blush appeared on her porcelain-white face. Her hot breath hit the man's palm, making it wet. After a long time without receiving a response from the person behind her, Mu Miao was confused.
“Hmm…”
He promised not to shout, so why didn't this person let him go?
The mermaid's unique voice made Yu Chen feel uneasy. He had just come to see which ignorant sea beast had entered his territory, but he unexpectedly saw this timid little mermaid hiding behind the reef.
He felt the warmth of his palm. He was a head taller than Mu Mu, and when he looked down, he could just see the tears hanging on his long eyelashes. "Are you crying already? Why are you so weak? How did you survive in the sea like this?"
With arms so thin and lacking sharp claws, it probably couldn't even pry open the weakest shellfish in the sea.
Feeling despised, Mu Mu whimpered and was unable to answer.
Yu Chen let him go, and Mu Mu wanted to escape as soon as he was free. But there were reefs in front of him, and behind him was the bad guy who would bully and threaten the fish. Mu Mu was panicked but couldn't leave.
In that case, Mu Mu clenched his not-so-strong fists, straightened his back, and turned to face the man aggressively.
He knew that even if he lost a fight, he wouldn't lose his momentum! He would be scared to death!
Mu Miao bumped into Yu Chen's deep eyes like this recklessly. His dark eyes seemed like the bottomless abyss of the sea, containing unspeakable danger.
The aura that Mu Mu had built up disappeared completely because of this daze. Her clean dark green eyes stared at the man blankly, and obedience was written all over her body.
Yu Chen was wearing a simple shirt and trousers. His powerful muscles were faintly visible under the thin clothes. It was not exaggerated, but made people think that this man was a gentleman who exercised diligently.
His facial features were handsome and three-dimensional, especially his calm eyes, which added a touch of coldness and ruthlessness to him, making him seem like he was keeping people at a distance.
Looks so good, he must be delicious!
Mu Mu's eyes were drooling, and his saliva could not be controlled.
Mu Mu's cheek was suddenly pinched. Yu Chen, with his cool demeanor, said something with a hint of malice, "Xiao Yu, do you still want these eyes staring at me? Fish eyes are also a very nutritious food."
Mu Miao:!!!
Mu Miao came back to her senses instantly, slapped the man's hand away, hid back in fear, covering her face, and muttered: "You can't eat it, you can't eat my eyes, they are not delicious."
Well, he finally understood. This man also wanted to eat his delicious fish! He even wanted to make fish soup with it! How could there be such a bad person?
Mu Mu's back was pressed tightly against the reef. He knew that the prerequisite for eating a full meal was to save his life, and he wished he could stay away from this man.
He didn't plan to continue looking for food. He wanted to go back to the sea immediately and never come out again. He would eat seafood from now on!
Yu Chen looked at his aggrieved and resentful eyes and couldn't help but chuckle. The indifference in his eyes melted a little, and he became a lot more lively.
Mu Miao took a deep breath and twisted his fingers together. "You, can you please move aside for a moment? I want to go home. Don't eat me. If you really want to eat fish, I will catch fish. I will catch other fish to feed you."
Mu Miao tried to reason with him, but Yu Chen was obviously not an obedient person.
He suddenly approached. Mu Mu was a deep-sea fish with a body temperature much lower than that of humans. He was burned by Yu Chen's body temperature and kept hiding.
"ah!"
Mu Mu's hands reached under his armpits and lifted the whole fish up, cradling it in Yu Chen's arms like a child. His large tail flapped helplessly against Yu Chen's legs, soaking Yu Chen's clothes with the water from his body.
Yu Chen patted his tail, striding forward with his legs submerged in the water. "Do you still want your tail back? If you don't want it cut off and made into a grilled fish tail, then don't move."
Woo woo woo——
Mu Mu was about to cry now. His mind was full of a hundred ways to cook fish. His voice choked with sobs, "I promised to help you catch fish, why do you have to eat me? I don't have much meat. I, I just want to go ashore to find something to eat. Wuuuuuu, I'm going to be eaten."
Mu Mu was so sad that he couldn't control himself. He was obviously still hungry, but he filled other people's stomachs. Such a big fish would surely be enough for him to eat for several days.
But who knew that this fish was also very hungry!
Yu Chen's shoulders were wet with Xiaoyu's tears. He paused, tilted his head to look at the fish sobbing on his shoulder, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.
He unconsciously lowered his voice and said, "I won't eat you. Since you can catch fish, you can catch a few for me every day so I don't have to go fishing myself."
Mu Miao raised her tear-stained face and looked at him pitifully, her voice still tinged with tears, "Really? I help you catch fish and you won't eat me?"
Yu Chen glanced at his face and said deliberately: "It depends on the situation."
Sure enough, Mu Mu hurriedly leaned in to ask, his dark green eyes full of the person in front of him, "What are you looking at?"
They were so close that Yu Chen could bite those rosy and moist lips by just lowering his head. He could even smell the faint scent of sea water on Mu Mu's body.
Yu Chen's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he threw Mu Mu upwards. Mu Mu screamed, and in order to avoid falling, he hurriedly put his arms around Yu Chen's neck and buried his whole face in his neck.
Yu Chen said lightly, "If the fish you catch aren't as delicious as you, then I'll eat you."
Upon hearing this, Mu Miao secretly made up his mind to give him the most delicious fish!
Yujia Village is the only village on this small island. It is built beside the mountain. Yu Chen has a special identity. He lives alone in the highest house and walks on a quiet path.
The temperature around him gradually dropped. Mu Mu knew that the man would not cook him, so he felt a lot more relaxed. He also got used to being held by Yu Chen along the way, and naturally lay on his shoulder.
When he left the water, his tail was dry and uncomfortable, so he secretly observed Yu Chen's expression and tentatively wrapped his tail around Yu Chen's wet pants.
Yu Chen just paused and continued walking as if nothing had happened.
Mu Miao felt relieved and leaned his face on Yu Chen's shoulder. He was a person who could adapt to life very well. After making sure that there was no danger, he became a little bolder.
Yu Chen had a light grassy scent on him, and the delicate aroma stimulated Mu Mu's taste buds. Mu Mu secretly glanced at Yu Chen, and seeing that he was not looking away and seemed not to notice him, he boldly buried his head in his neck and took a sip.
After absorbing it, Mu Mu was confused. Where is the spiritual energy?
He didn't believe it and took another breath. The spiritual energy that should have entered his body disappeared, and not only that, the feeling of hunger became even worse.
[My dear, you are now a bloodthirsty mermaid. As the name suggests, you rely on blood to survive. Also, the dungeon officially begins at 2:00 PM today. My dear, please remember to return to the sea early.]
001 suddenly said something as if he had come back to life. Mu Miao was about to ask him a few more questions, such as why is the NPC Yu Chen so strong?
Before he could finish his words, he heard it say, "I'm so sleepy, good night, little master."
Mu Miao: “…”
This system is really unreliable!
But at this point, Mu Mu couldn't switch to another system and could only make do with it. He lowered his head and saw Yu Chen's neck. He swallowed and couldn't help but move closer to the neck.
At this moment, someone grabbed the back of his head and forced Mu Mu to raise his head, with the small fangs in his mouth still not retracted.
Yu Chen narrowed his eyes dangerously, holding Mu Mu's hips with one hand and squeezing the other hand into his mouth, rubbing his small fangs.
"Xiaoyu, you want to bite me?"
Mu Mu struggled to avoid his fingers, but was made miserable. He whimpered and tried to push the fingers out with his tongue, his voice unclear, "No...no."
Yu Chen then mercifully withdrew his fingers. Mu Mu panted and glared at the man, then turned her face away and ignored him.
How can there be such a bad person!
Yu Chen pinched his chin, made him turn his face away, and said in a calm voice, "Xiao Yu, don't challenge my patience. You have to be good. Only in this way can I be satisfied, and you can live longer. Do you understand?"
This is a threat! He's threatening the fish!
Mu Miao hummed dejectedly, angry but not daring to speak.
Yu Chen was satisfied and rubbed his head, "So good."
Mu Miao snorted and didn't want to pay attention to him.
But his temper came and went quickly, and the journey to Yu Chen's accommodation was very long.
Mu Mu was spoiled and brought up at home. He was often accompanied by his brother and was rarely left alone. As a result, he was raised to be clingy and a lively fish who couldn't sit still.
He knew the man's name was Yu Chen, so he took the initiative to talk to him, "Yu Chen, Yu Chen, do all the people in your village have the surname Yu?"
Perhaps it was because Mu Mu had been in a bad mood since being abducted by Yu Chen, so now he actually spoke on his own initiative. Yu Chen was also stunned for a moment, "Hmm."
Seeing that Yu Chen paid attention to him, Mu Miao became motivated and pointed to the foot of the mountain. "Yu Chen, Yu Chen, I see a lot of houses over there. Why don't you live with them? Why do you live alone on the mountain?"
Yu Chen glanced at the village and then looked away calmly, "They are very noisy."
"Yu Chen, Yu Chen, you are different from those fishermen, very different."
Yu Chen lowered his eyes to look at the little fish that couldn't stop eating, and asked in a flattering manner: "What's the difference?"
Mu Miao patted his arm and looked at Yu Chen seriously. "You look different from them. Your skin is white, and theirs is not. Theirs is... a very dark color. Also, you are prettier than them."
A faint smile escaped from Yu Chen's throat, "Well, just consider it as a compliment."
Mu Miao knew that he was happy, and happiness was contagious, so he also smiled with his eyes curved.
He looked so heartless that he had forgotten that he was forcibly captured by this man.
It is now midsummer, the trees are lush and green, and the sounds of insects and birds are endless. Yu Chen holds Mu Mu in his arms as they walk on a quiet path paved with small stones in the forest, with mottled shadows of the trees cast on them.
This was Mu Mu's first time seeing this rich world. He was curious about every tree and blade of grass and was full of novelty about everything.
No matter how boring what he said was, Yu Chen would give a reply, and there was a special harmony between the response and the reply.
Except that sometimes Yu Chen would deliberately tease Mu Mu and make him angry, then he would be quiet for a while, but Mu Mu did not hold a grudge and would start talking to Yu Chen again after a while.
Yu Chen’s home soon came into view. Yu Chen stood in front of the door for a few seconds, and couldn’t help but stop and look back at the way he came.
This was the first time he felt that the road was short.
Yu Chen lives in a retro duplex wooden house. Various flowers and plants are planted in the spacious yard, and wisteria is climbing on the wall, which is in full bloom.
Mu Miao's eyes flashed with amazement. This small courtyard instantly captured his heart. He exclaimed, "Yu Chen, your house is so beautiful."
Yu Chen put Mu Mu in the pool in the yard. Mu Mu was almost dry after walking all the way, so he swam a circle in the pool. Yu Chen sat on a stone chair by the pool and watched quietly.
Mu Miao felt much more comfortable soaking in the water. He dived under the water and blew bubbles. He saw Yu Chen next to him through the water. He came up with an idea and slowly swam to his side.
"puff--"
Mu Miao suddenly rushed out of the water, holding water in her hands and pouring it on Yu Chen. The splashing water gleamed in the sunlight, and the mermaid seemed to be glowing as well.
Yu Chen stared blankly at the little mermaid approaching him with a myriad of lights. He waved his hands in front of his eyes, "Yu Chen, Yu Chen, why are you ignoring me?"
"Are you angry?"
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have splashed water on you."
"I apologize to you. To make it up to you, I'll catch a few more fish for you tomorrow, okay?"
Although Yu Chen always liked to deliberately scare him, Mu Mu had never been ignored. Yu Chen's stunned expression made Mu Mu feel a little flustered, fearing that his joke was too big and would disgust others.
But to his surprise, Yu Chen did not embarrass him. Instead, he chuckled and said, "It's okay. Just stay here. I'll go change my clothes first."
Yu Chen stood up and walked into the house, leaving Mu Mu at a loss as to what to do.
So easy to talk to? That's not like Yu Chen's temper. Mu Mu buried his head in the water depressedly. Was Yu Chen angry or was he really okay? Yu Yu didn't understand.
After Yu Chen left, Mu Mu had no one to talk to, so he was so bored that he went to pull up grass from the shore to feed the other fish in the pond. The koi were used to the feed and that's why they didn't eat his weeds. The grass floated around Mu Mu and stuck to him.
Mu Mu cleaned up for a while, got annoyed, and dived into the water with a groan.
When Yu Chen came out again, Mu Mu was lying on his back in the water with his belly turned up, like a dead fish.
