Chapter 003: Bite you to death!

These palace ladies came and went in a hurry but in an orderly manner. Rong Yin hid in the shadows of the bamboo forest reflected on the water. He saw that the ground on the shore was covered with carpet and there was an ornate screen behind it.

There were a low table and a small kneeling stool on the carpet, the incense chased away the few mosquitoes, and the lantern illuminated the surroundings.

Soon, another palace maid brought food and placed it on the low table. Rong Yin glanced at it from a distance and saw that it was all light food.

After everything was done, the palace servants withdrew, leaving only two palace maids holding lamps standing on both sides of the screen.

It goes without saying who could cause such a big fuss when traveling.

Rong Yin didn't understand why the Panda Emperor came here so late at night?

Zong Zhengxiao changed into a loose set of clothes, which made him look less aggressive than he did during the day. After entering the garden, he looked towards the pond first, and then saw the little mermaid hiding in the shadows of the bamboo.

After sitting down, Zong Zhengxiao didn't rush to eat. He asked Si Xi, "What did he eat tonight?"

Si Xi naturally knew who "he" was referring to: "Lord Jiang said that mermaids like to eat fish, so the manager of Jinlin Pond caught a live river fish for him and said that he ate two."

Zong Zhengxiao looked at Rong Yin and said, "Two live fish?"

Si Xi knew that this was not a question to him, so he remained silent. Rong Yin did not say anything either, but he was very excited.

Rong Yin: Humph, so what if I eat live fish? Not only do I eat live fish, I also want to eat you alive, the evil emperor!

He still hadn't forgotten the threatening words Zong Zhengxiao said in the afternoon and the pinch that hurt his face.

Zong Zhengxiao was not angry at Rong Yin's "arrogance", but found it very interesting.

He waved at Rong Yin, "Come here."

Rong Yin didn't move, somewhat reluctantly.

Si Xi took out the bell Jiang Xun had given him, "Your Majesty, use this."

Zong Zhengxiao glanced at Lingdang, and recalled the scene he saw during the day. He said, "You don't need to take this thing out in the future. The mermaid can understand what I mean."

After saying this, he paused for two seconds, and then added sinisterly: "If he doesn't understand, there's no need for him to live."

Rong Yin: “!!!”

Rongyin: Threatening me again! Stinky panda!

Hearing Rong Yin's curse, Zong Zheng Xiao waved again, "I'll only say this once, come here."

Rong Yin swam over with a puffed face, lay on the shore and looked up at Zong Zheng Xiao.

Si Xi was surprised: "This mermaid must be frightened by your true dragon energy, Your Majesty. Even though it can't speak human language, it will obey your orders."

Rong Yin couldn't help but complain: Bullshit about the real dragon spirit, feudal superstition is unacceptable!

Zong Zheng Xiao chuckled, and Si Xi thought that he was flattering him well, so he said several festive words in succession.

The more he spoke, the more fiercely Rong Yin complained, and the happier Zong Zheng Xiao became.

Finally, Zong Zhengxiao rewarded Si Xi with a plate of fruit, and Si Xi accepted it with many thanks.

"Come closer." Zong Zhengxiao hooked his finger at Rong Yin, as if calling a puppy.

Rong Yin moved closer with a snort, almost bumping into the shorter guy.

Zong Zhengxiao leaned over, stretched out his hand, lifted Rong Yin's chin, pried open his soft thin lips, and looked at his sharp teeth in the light.

"They are sharp enough to chew live fish."

Zong Zhengxiao's fingertips were rubbing Rong Yin's teeth, as if he was playing with a toy, his eyes full of interest.

Rong Yin shouted loudly in his heart: I’m going to bite you to death!

But until Zong Zheng Xiao had touched enough and withdrew his hand, Rong Yin just kept his mouth open obediently. Not to mention biting, he didn't even dare to dodge backwards.

Rong Yin felt ashamed of his greed and fear of death!

Seeing that Rong Yin looked bad, Zong Zhengxiao didn't want to really make anyone angry, so he picked up a piece of flower-shaped jujube cake and fed it to Rong Yin's lips.

“Take a sip. It tastes good.”

Rong Yin: I don’t want food given out of pity!

Zong Zhengxiao heard his thoughts.

"Forget it if you don't want to eat it." He said as he withdrew his hand.

But when he had his hand halfway back, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly, Rong Yin put his hands on the shore, jumped up, and took the date cake from his hand in one bite.

As if she was afraid that Zong Zheng Xiao would snatch it back, Rong Yin retreated to the center of the pool with the date cake in her mouth and looked at him provocatively with her chin raised.

Rong Yin: It would be a waste if you don’t eat it. How can you make the food fly away when it’s already in your mouth?

Although this body's eating habits made him not averse to eating live fish, he had been a human for twenty-one years after all, so he still missed human food.

The soft touch of Rong Yin's lips was still on his fingertips. Looking at Rong Yin's proud look, Zong Zhengxiao smiled in his eyes, picked up the plate and waved to him again.

"Come here, this plate is all yours. If you don't come, you won't get any to eat in the future."

In order to cooperate with Rong Yin who pretended not to understand human language, Zong Zhengxiao would cooperate with him every time he was called.

Rong Yin licked his lips, and his lust was aroused.

This pastry tastes really good, worthy of Chef Yu’s craftsmanship.

Well, I've already been there once, so it doesn't matter if I go there again.

Yes, that's it.

Rong Yin convinced herself, and swam back quickly, took the plate from Zong Zhengxiao's hand, held it in her arms, and stuffed the date cakes into her mouth one by one.

A beautiful woman eating is also a beautiful picture. Even though Rong Yin's movements are a bit rough, it does not affect the fact that he is good-looking.

Seeing Rong Yin eating so happily, Zong Zheng Xiao, who originally had no appetite, also felt hungry. He stared at Rong Yin and ate slowly.

After eating the date cake, Rong Yin felt a little choked. He patted his chest and couldn't help thinking: It would be a real enjoyment if it could be paired with a cup of milk tea.

Zong Zhengxiao listened silently. After "panda", another word appeared that he had never heard of - milk tea.

Are these things from the sea?

But how can there be cats in the sea? And tea?

Rong Yin patted his chest and cast his eyes towards the pot of soup on the low table.

Zong Zhengxiao followed his line of sight and looked over. "Want to drink?"

Rong Yin didn't nod, but her eyes were full of desire.

Zong Zhengxiao called Si Xi over and served a bowl of soup to Rong Yin. Rong Yin held the bowl and drank it up in one gulp. When he handed the bowl back, he almost said thank you subconsciously.

Fortunately, I reacted in time and shut up.

His frightened expression made Zong Zheng Xiao laugh.

As the saying goes, one who receives favors will be grateful, and after eating the things given by Zong Zheng Xiao, Rong Yin felt embarrassed to continue swearing at him.

Zong Zhengxiao ate his meal slowly and without showing any sign of eagerness. Rong Yin had nothing to do at this moment, so she leaned against the shore, holding her chin and staring at him.

During the day, Rong Yin only noticed Zong Zheng Xiaoling's aura and the serious dark circles under his eyes, and did not look at his face carefully.

Looking at beauties under this light is like looking through eighteen layers of filters. Rong Yin felt that Zong Zheng Xiao's appearance was truly outstanding, with thick eyebrows, a high nose, and an imposing manner. He had the kind of tough and handsome look that was very popular with women.

Now that he has calmed down, he is much better than the bad panda that only threatens mermaids.

It was not only Rong Yin who was looking at the beauty under the light. Zong Zheng Xiao's remaining eyes were also on Rong Yin.

Because he is a mermaid, Rong Yin's upper body is naked. His pearly white skin glows softly under the light. His waist-length black hair falls smoothly on his shoulders like silk, just covering his two pink spots.

Further down was a slender waist with thin abdominal muscles faintly visible. As a man skilled in horse riding, Zong Zhengxiao knew very well how strong such a waist and abdomen could be.

He wanted to look down again, but his vision was blocked by the water. Zong Zheng Xiao swallowed the last mouthful of soup, then took the hot water handed to him by Si Xi and rinsed his mouth. Only then did he let the palace servants clear the table.

This was the most satisfying meal Zong Zhengxiao had had in the past six months.

Rong Yin originally thought that Zong Zhengxiao would leave after dinner, but he continued to sit there and asked the palace servants to remove the stool blocking them.

Suddenly, she was face to face with Zong Zheng Xiao. Rong Yin was at a loss as to what to do. She subconsciously retreated back into the water and carefully lay down on the shore, revealing her head as she looked at Zong Zheng Xiao.

"Why are you hiding? Weren't you looking at me openly just now?" Zong Zheng Xiao said with some amusement.

Rong Yin retorted in her heart: That was just now, and now is now, the situation is different.

Hearing this, the smile in Zong Zheng Xiao's eyes became even brighter.

Rong Yin didn't understand what he was laughing at and tilted her head in confusion.

The light fell into Rong Yin's eyes, like a flame burning on the sea, attracting attention and then falling into it.

The night wind blew past, ruffling the strands of hair on Rongyin's forehead, and the fragrance he had smelled during the day wafted over again.

Zong Zhengxiao said: "Take the incense burner away."

The palace servants obeyed the order and moved the incense burner away as quickly and steadily as possible.

The remaining scent of the incense quickly dissipated, but the scent emanating from Rong Yin became clearer and clearer.

Smelling the fragrance, Zong Zheng Xiao closed his eyes unconsciously.

Gradually, he emptied himself in the fragrance, forgetting where he was, who he was, and what aspirations he had in his heart...

The regular breathing sound reached the ears of everyone nearby, including Rong Yin. Rong Yin was surprised that the Panda Emperor fell asleep so quickly, but Si Xi was more than just surprised, he was shocked, the kind of shock that was earth-shattering.

Before, no matter what medicine he took or how quiet and comfortable the resting environment was, Zong Zhengxiao could not fall asleep normally. Even if he fell asleep, he would often wake up and could not get a full night's sleep.

But at this moment, in such a rough environment, under the almost dazzling light, he supported his head with his hands and fell asleep in a few moments!

Si Xi didn't dare to move, and even his breathing became much lighter. He signaled with his eyes to the other palace servants to stand still and not make any noise.

Remembering that there was an unstable factor in the pool, Si Xi didn't care whether Rong Yin could understand what he meant or not, and started making faces in Rong Yin's direction, hoping that he would not move, so as not to make any noise and wake up Zong Zheng Xiao.

Rong Yin called Zong Zheng Xiao the Panda Emperor, and discovered that he probably hadn't had a good rest for a long time.

Now that he was sleeping peacefully, Rong Yin didn't have the heart to wake him up. After all, the problem between him and the emperor wasn't some deep hatred, so there was no need to take revenge at this time.

The garden was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Not far away, the sound of night insects chirping could be heard. I didn't know how much time had passed.

Si Xi and other palace servants usually work night shifts in a similar situation as now, so they don't feel tired.

But Rong Yin was different. He felt uncomfortable staying still for a long time, and he was also a little sleepy.

Rong Yin hummed in his heart: Panda Emperor, how long are you going to sleep?

Just as he finished thinking this, Zong Zheng Xiao, who was originally sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.
