If that fairy Ning really returns and pours out her heart to him, how could he, with his temperament, possibly be so heartless as to refuse her?
So even if I give him enough time, all I'll get in return is an apology...
For some reason, thinking about this made Zhu Li inexplicably angry. She said calmly, "I respect your choice. You have saved my life, so I promise that Beihai will always reserve a place for you..."
Shen Yunhao frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Could it be that she was so close to him because of this so-called life-saving grace?
He was stranded underground, so saving her was saving himself. Where did this gratitude come from?
But when Sister Li'er suddenly brought this up, I felt like she was implying something...
Shen Yunhao pouted and shook his head, saying, "I don't need this kind of repayment."
Zhu Li glanced at him, thinking to herself that this kid was sometimes brilliant, and sometimes incredibly stupid.
Since he could see that she didn't truly want to repay the life-saving grace, why did he assume such thoughts about his childhood sweetheart?
However, Shen Yunhao's next words almost made her lose her composure.
"If Sister Li'er truly wishes to repay this kindness, then transform into human form and treat me with respect!"
"..."
That brat, he's definitely up to no good!
The reason she doesn't take human form is naturally because of her outstanding appearance, which would more or less attract such a young boy, making the originally simple relationship between the two awkward.
After all, Zhu Li has always been known as the most beautiful woman in Beihai, so she has that much confidence.
Unexpectedly, this piqued the kid's interest... and now he's openly asking to see it!
"Hmph! I'm ugly and unappealing. What if I were to transform and scare my benefactor? Wouldn't that ruin everything?"
The little white dragon pouted, mimicking his manner, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm.
But to her surprise, Shen Yunhao actually believed what was clearly a young girl's sarcastic remark!
It's not that he's not smart.
Rather, Shen Yunhao had made a similar guess before, and now that it came from Zhu Li's mouth, it seemed to confirm the suspicion, demonstrating its complete credibility.
No wonder she suddenly gets angry every time the topic of human transformation comes up... It turns out it's because I kept rubbing salt in her wounds and upset her...
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yunhao decided to appease Li'er first, and then chuckled twice and said, "Actually... quite a few people think my wife isn't very attractive."
Many people: ???
While saying this, Shen Yunhao was frantically trying to salvage the situation in his mind.
I'm so sorry! Yao'er, please don't mind. I know you're as beautiful as gold, and no matter how many rumors I spread, it won't affect your stunning beauty...
Zhu Li also turned his head, his dragon eyes revealing confusion, unsure of what he wanted to say.
"But even though many people look down on her, I still think Yao'er is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen!"
Many people: "What the hell?"
"Because the distinction between beauty and ugliness, though seemingly a description, is actually a person's subjective opinion. And in this world, everyone's subjective feelings about beauty and ugliness are different. Therefore, I have always thought that Yao'er is very beautiful!"
"So, Sister Li'er, you don't need to care about what others think at all. You grew up in the Dragon Clan, so maybe the Dragon Clan's aesthetic sense is different from ours? What they find unbearable is precisely what I find most beautiful..."
Candlelight: "..."
Shen Yunhao never expected that his attempt to comfort Zhu Li would actually make her lose confidence!
Yes, although the people of the North Sea unanimously believe that she is the most beautiful dragon princess in thousands of years, mortals may not think so because of the difference in race!
Then wasn't my previous thought just wishful thinking?
A sudden wave of shame washed over the little white dragon, and he wanted to disappear into the ground...
It's just that Zhu Li has stayed in the North Sea since she was a child and has rarely been to the mortal world, otherwise she wouldn't have been fooled by Shen Yunhao's serious nonsense.
"No, I still need to find some time to go to the human world and see more of the human condition..."
Before this...
Zhu Li glanced at Shen Yunhao, whose face was full of encouragement, and quickly turned her head away.
No, I can't let him see... at least not now...
What if Yunhao really thinks I'm ugly?
No matter what, she's still prettier than his "not very attractive" wife...
Many people said, "This is pure slander!"
It turns out that not only Shen Yunhao believed Zhu Li's "angry words," but this silly dragon also seemed to believe Shen Yunhao's "lies"!
I can't be ugly just because I am...
...
Lin Yuan City, Shen Family Compound.
It was early autumn, and the lonely courtyard was covered with fallen leaves, layer upon layer, giving the courtyard a desolate feel.
This is the courtyard where Shen Yunhao used to live.
Since Shen Yunhao disappeared, no one has lived here anymore.
Even Laifu was transferred elsewhere.
The Shen family refuses to let outsiders in, fearing that the fairy Ning who went up the mountain might return one day...
The situation is different now; it's the Shen family who accidentally "lost" someone else's husband...
If even my old residence is taken over by others, it will be difficult to explain.
However, unbeknownst to everyone, every evening in the secluded courtyard, a small brown cat would appear on the eaves of the master bedroom, meowing at the window.
It's milk tea!
As everyone gradually forgot about the good-for-nothing young master of the Shen family, only this cat still remembered her little master...
