“Madam, Blaine has been acting strangely these past few days, his mouth talks faster than his brain, please don’t take it to heart.” Nida had just finished speaking when she stepped back ten meters away.
Nida finally understood why Noe had forbidden Blaine from getting close to Mrs. Blaine.
Mu Tiantian: "......" She retreated so quickly.
She glanced in the direction Blain had left, as if realizing something, and asked Nida, "Was it Noy who ordered him not to see me?"
Nida answered truthfully, "Yes."
Seven: [It seems Noyi's possessiveness is at play. I told you Noyi has always liked you, but you didn't believe me. So, did I win the bet before?]
Mu Tiantian: 【...A bet? But I didn't agree to a bet with you.】
Qi Tong: [I didn't agree when I came back a few days ago, but we made a bet a few years ago, so Noi has always liked you, and I won that bet.]
Mu Tiantian turned and walked back: [It's getting dark, I need to hurry back. Nuoyi should be back tonight, so I need to cook him something good to see if that will calm his hatred.]
Qi Tong stared at the still-shining sun on the horizon: [...]
Seven: [You miser! I'll just kill you with your stinginess!]
Once the points are in her pocket, don't expect her to give them back.
night.
After returning to the Duke's mansion, Mu Tiantian began to showcase her culinary skills.
The Chinese dishes, desserts, drinks, and fruit platters were very plentiful.
Even Nida couldn't help but admire her skill when she saw it.
Not only does it look delicious, but it also smells so good that you can't help but want to try it.
"Nida, want a snack?" Mu Tiantian handed him one; he had been watching over her all day, so he deserved a reward.
She placed the snacks in front of him, then took out her homemade milk tea. The weather was a bit chilly, so milk tea was perfect for it.
Nida hesitated to move. Would his master blame him?
“I’m not hungry,” Nida said against her will.
Mu Tiantian saw that he clearly wanted to eat it. Although his face was expressionless, his eyes were practically staring into the pastry.
"Eat up, Noi didn't say you can't eat."
In the end, Nida couldn't resist the temptation and picked up the snacks and drinks, standing ten meters away.
He tasted it; it was sweet, but not cloying, and delicious.
Mermaids are picky eaters, and they rarely eat this kind of dessert because it doesn't taste very good.
But what the lady made was delicious.
Looking at the large table of dishes and the busy figures in the kitchen, he suddenly understood why the host was so concerned about her.
Such a wonderful person, anyone who spends time with her would surely fall in love with her.
Nida recalled Blain's teasing remark, "If you always have a blank expression, you'll never find a wife."
He disagreed.
Looking back now, even if he couldn't win her over, it was still better than Blaine falling for someone impossible.
He would then use this incident to tease Blaine, to stop him from talking nonsense all day long, his mouth faster than his brain.
Thinking of this, Nida happily ate the cake in one bite and drank a sip of milk tea, feeling content.
"Nida!"
Just as Nida was about to have another piece, he heard Blaine call him.
"Nida, hurry, this person is dying." Just as he finished speaking, Blain carried in a merman, whose upper body was tattered and whose lower body was a blue-black fishtail.
Mu Tiantian heard the noise and quickly came out. She saw a mermaid on the ground that looked very familiar.
Isn't this the mermaid I met in the underground arena?
Seven: [He is a prince of the underwater kingdom of Nannu. He came ashore to hunt down Noi, because Noi killed the king.]
Mu Tiantian never expected that he had this other identity.
She didn't say anything, and it was unclear what she was thinking.
"I found this while I was on patrol," Blain said. "Take a look, is there any hope?"
Nida recognized the mermaid's identity and his face darkened. "Lock her in the dungeon first, and we'll talk about it when the master returns."
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with him?" Blain asked, puzzled. Rare mermaid species are already few in number, so he was determined to save him since they had encountered him.
“He is Luca, the prince of the underwater kingdom of Nannu. He must have come to kill his master,” Nida said solemnly. “Lock him in the dungeon.”
Blain recalled that Noy had mentioned that he had his wings cut off by the King of Nannu.
So, Luke came here for revenge.
Just as Blain was about to make his move, Mu Tiantian stopped him, saying, "Wait, I need to save him."
Nida was surprised, "But..."
"His current physical condition won't hold up for much longer. What will happen to the Kingdom of Nannu if he dies?"
Nida replied, "It will cause chaos, and it may lead to war."
As far as he knew, the Kingdom of Nannu was currently ruled by only one queen. Luca had only returned to the seabed in recent months and had not yet inherited the throne, intending to wait until after killing Noi.
So if Luke dies, nearly a quarter of the world's oceans will be in trouble.
“So he can’t die.” Mu Tiantian asked the two of them to help Luke onto the sofa.
Mu Tiantian had studied medical techniques for mermaids for a while. Although she couldn't completely cure Luca, she could definitely help him hold on for a few hours before treatment.
Nida worried, "But he's going to kill his master."
"So, I need to negotiate with him."
After a while, Luca regained consciousness and saw Mu Tiantian. He was pleasantly surprised and asked, "You are... Casey?"
He remembered that she was wearing a bunny girl outfit with a name tag pinned to the front; it was Kathy, that must be her name.
Casey?
Nida and Blain were puzzled.
He sat up, clutching his aching chest, and gave a weak smile. "Casey, you saved me again."
Luca, still basking in the joy of their reunion, suddenly noticed Nida standing next to Mu Tiantian and his eyes widened. "Nida? You..."
He was about to raise his hand to control Nida when his arm aggravated his wound, and the pain forced him to lower his arm.
Then he realized that his fish tail was tied up.
"Casey, what's going on?" Luca also realized that the living room was decorated very luxuriously, unlike an ordinary home, and that Nida was a traitor who had followed Noy.
Judging from this, her identity must be extraordinary.
"My name isn't Casey, I'm Noy's fiancée, Mu Tiantian," Mu Tiantian explained to Luca.
Then he told him about Noi's experience at the bottom of the sea.
Noy killed the king not only because his wings were cut off.
According to the information provided by the Seven Commanders, she was captured by the mermaid guards of the Kingdom of Nannu four years ago after she pushed Noi into the sea.
In the following year, the king learned of the effects of the blood pearl and began to try to obtain it.
Moreover, when Noy fled, the king wanted to kill him, which is why he fought back.
Otherwise, it would be Noy who dies.
After Noi escaped, Nida, as one of the mermaid guards, went to capture him, but was almost eaten by a giant deep-sea shark on the way.
However, Noy saved him, which is why he followed Noy.
Luke was greatly shocked after hearing this.
"Did you take Noi to the palace when you were little?" Mu Tiantian asked.
"Yes." Luke remembered that when he was a child, he was very curious when he first saw Noi with wings, so he took him to the palace to play together.
"Later, did you see Noy out of the palace? Or did you actually see him leave the palace?"
"Later, the teacher called us away to study the lessons, and I remember my father saying he had gone home..." Luke's eyes widened as he thought of this.
He never saw Noy again after that.
So, his father lied to him!
