Chapter 87 The Mad Young Master 3
Yu Gu'an remained unmoved as he looked at her, then took out his demon-catching magic weapon and trapped the mermaid girl.
To his surprise, the mermaid girl didn't seem to struggle at all, but he didn't have time to worry about that and took the mermaid girl back to his family's mansion.
Xu Qiuqiu never expected him to grab her so roughly. She certainly wouldn't struggle; she would be heartbroken if a few pretty fish scales fell off, since her tail was so beautiful.
Yu Gu'an led her to a room, and she felt a little uncomfortable because she had been away from the water for too long.
She was thrown onto the bed, and seeing the man searching for a knife, she immediately said, "Even if you cut off my flesh, it won't save me unless I did it willingly."
Upon hearing this, Yu Gu'an stopped what he was doing and looked at the still composed merman girl. "You can talk? How do you know what I'm going to do?"
She rolled her eyes at him in her heart and sneered, "I know, everyone says that mermaid flesh can cure all diseases, but you don't know that if it is not given voluntarily by the mermaid, it will not work. So even if you cut off all the flesh from my body, you will not be able to save anyone."
Yu Gu'an stared intently at Xu Qiuqiu's face, pondering the truthfulness of her words.
"You don't believe me? You can try it if you don't believe me."
It's a test of mentality. As long as she remains calm and fearless, he definitely won't dare to gamble.
So Xu Qiuqiu adjusted her position, lay on her side, raised her hand to support her head, propped up half of her body, and looked at him with a smile, as if she was certain he would believe her.
"However, I must remind you that if you cut off a piece of my flesh today and it doesn't work, it will be impossible to get me to do it willingly again, because I hate people who are rude to me the most."
After speaking, Xu Qiuqiu looked at him arrogantly and coldly. After all, she was a mermaid princess, so she could probably put on this kind of aura, right?
"Furthermore, we merfolk would rather die than live in dishonor. If you insult me, you will end up with a corpse, and you will never be able to save the person you want to save."
Yu Gu'an gripped the knife tightly in his hand, staring at Xu Qiuqiu for a long time but couldn't find any flaws. He didn't know if what she said was true or false.
If it's fake, he's just been tricked. If it's real, he can't afford to lose. Besides, mermaids are rare and hard to find. If it's real, finding another mermaid won't be so easy for him.
A suffocating atmosphere filled the air, and the room suddenly became stifling.
After a long silence, Yu Gu'an calmly asked, "Then are you willing to voluntarily cut off your own flesh?"
Finally hearing him speak, Xu Qiuqiu breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed he had chosen to believe her. Her expression remained unchanged as she continued arrogantly, "Then it depends on your sincerity."
Without wasting words, Yu Gu'an immediately asked, "What do you want?"
"I heard that the Yu family has an ancestral water that can transform a mermaid into having legs. I'm tired of being underwater, so I want to play on land."
"You give me the water to transform into medicinal herbs, and I'll willingly give you my flesh to save the people you want to save. We each get what we need, how about it?"
After speaking, Xu Qiuqiu gently touched the fish tail, which had become somewhat dull due to lack of water.
Yu Gu'an frowned as he looked at the alluring merman girl lying on the bed. "How did you know my surname is Yu? Did you deliberately appear in front of me these past few days?"
Seeing that the beautiful fish tail was gradually wilting, Xu Qiuqiu's tone was tinged with impatience, "I don't want to hear you say any more. I'm just asking if you want to agree to this condition?"
Since you already believe her, why bother arguing with her here? She really wants to lie in the water right now. She feels extremely uncomfortable, and for some reason, her body temperature has risen abnormally.
Before Gu An could answer, a servant ran into the room to report, "Young Master, the Young City Lord has suddenly come to visit, saying he wants to see you."
Yu Gu'an's eyes turned to disgust, and he replied sullenly, "I know."
Before leaving, he glanced at Xu Qiuqiu and said, "I promise, I'll switch with you when I get back."
In the main hall, a young man dressed in red sat on a chair with his collar open a bit too low, revealing his handsome collarbone. His slender fingers held a jade teacup, rubbing it absently.
Although he had a smile on his face, the atmosphere around him was getting increasingly tense, revealing his growing impatience.
Yu Gu'an heard the sound as soon as he walked in.
"Why are you so slow? Is your leg broken?" Cang Chen picked up the teacup in his hand, then let go.
The teacup fell to the ground and shattered.
Cang Chen stood up, smiling as he looked at Yu Gu'an, who was somewhat angry.
"My hand slipped, it was an accident, please forgive me."
Yu Gu'an forced himself not to look at the shattered cup on the ground, his favorite tea set. Suppressing his anger, he asked calmly, "What brings the young city lord here so suddenly?"
He had always looked down on Cang Chen, a child born to a snake demon. If the city lord hadn't been childless, why would he have taken in such an illegitimate son to be the young city lord? Countless people despised him behind his back.
As a demon hunter, he detested demons, especially since Cang Chen also possessed demonic characteristics: cold-blooded, ruthless, violent, and vicious. He enjoyed torturing people when he was unhappy, and very few people in his manor ever left alive.
"You seem quite dissatisfied with me?" Cang Chen's tone was calm, but his eyes had turned considerably colder.
"I dare not accept such praise. It is an honor for the Yu family to receive the young city lord's visit." Yu Gu'an flattered him, but inwardly he was thoroughly annoyed.
"Heh." Cang Chen narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, and a powerful gust of air struck the man opposite him.
Yu Gu'an's face was slashed by the powerful attack, and beads of blood flowed from the wound.
Cang Chen held the realgar he had just found on Yu Gu'an in his hand.
"You don't think I'm afraid of this thing, do you?"
After speaking, he tightened his outstretched fingers, and the cloth bag containing realgar burned to ashes in the air.
Yu Gu'an was furious. He almost wanted to fight back, but he held back. If he did, Cang Chen would use the excuse of his actions to find a reason to kill him.
Seeing him suppressing his anger, Cang Chen felt much better. "I heard you recently captured a snake demon?"
Yu Gu'an suddenly understood the purpose of his sudden visit. It turned out that he had come to find his own kind. As expected, the monster was disgusting!
"No, that snake demon was too cunning and escaped. But please rest assured, young city lord, I will definitely catch her and send her on her way, so that she can stop harming the world!"
As Yu Gu'an spoke, he emphasized his words, as if afraid that Cang Chen would not understand his implied meaning.
As expected, Cang Chen's expression changed instantly, and a powerful aura swept over, causing the beams of the main hall to break and fall under the pressure.
"Good, very good." Cang Chen's pupils slowly turned red, and his black hair had somehow come loose and started to flutter.
