(T/N: There is often a change of reference that is used for something that will be discovered in the future chapters (in the next chapter) but since Xia Nuo hasn’t discovered it, I will keep it hidden until he figures it out. Even though it does get obvious.)

The guard smiled at them: “Master likes your gift very much, please come with me.”

Seeing Xia Nuo and the others walk in, many people were stunned. It didn’t take long for the explosive news that ‘someone walked into Miss Mermaid’s mansion’ to spread quickly.

The guard led them in and said, “It wasn’t the master who neglected on purpose just now, but she accidentally fell asleep in the pool, so.”

He went out of his way to explain it to them.

However, recalling the scene at that time still made him feel a little strange.

Having worked for Miss Mermaid for so many years, he also knows the master’s temperament well, and when he wakes her up, he is also prepared to be scolded.

If it was placed before, he would naturally not want to take the risk of angering Miss Mermaid to wake her up, but recalling the sincere expression of the boy at the door, he took a deep breath and walked forward.

“Master, master.” Under her call, half of her body was immersed in the pool water, the other half of her body was lying on the edge of the pool, and the mermaid sleeping on her arm opened her eyes.

Her eyes were still shrouded in mist, but she raised her hand immediately.

The guard wanted to back subconsciously, but stopped abruptly – when the master wants to use him to vent her anger, it’s better to let her vent obediently.

Unexpectedly, Miss Mermaid did not attack him, but looked at her own fingers which were obviously longer than humans and the translucent web between them, as if she was looking at something novel. 

There was a strange feeling in the guard’s heart, and before he could think about it, he heard Miss Mermaid suddenly say, “Give me what you’re holding.”

The voice was inexplicably hoarse.

He held the greeting stickers and gifts in front of her with both hands.

Miss Mermaid moved her shoulders lightly, reached out to take the greeting card, and the handsome handwriting of the young man came into view.

“Dear Miss Tuo Ya (托娅), I don’t know if I have the honour to pay a visit today, and I would like to present a bottle of beauty potion as a gift. I hope you like it. —— Yours sincerely, Chang An of Noke Street.”

When writing the name, Xia Nuo couldn’t resist his drowsiness, and the last stroke was obviously skewed.

Miss Mermaid looked at this post and thought of something, she laughed in a low voice, her voice was as beautiful as ever but not as soft as before: “Bring him to see me.”

As she ordered, the guard nodded in agreement, and the moment he turned to leave, he caught a glimpse of the mermaid in the pool raising its tail in the pool from the corner of his eye.

Is it strange that Miss Mermaid’s tail is silver? The guard thought in a daze.

How did he remember her?

A mermaid with blond hair, blue eyes and a blue tail appeared in his mind, but it disappeared quickly.

What are you thinking, Miss Mermaid’s tail is always silver.

He dispelled his doubts and quickly walked towards the door.

The guards led them through a long corridor covered with vines on the pillars, passed a wall of flowers of various colours, and a blue pool of water appeared in front of Xia Nuo.

Before meeting Miss Mermaid, he had also imagined what she would look like, but Xia Nuo was still surprised when he actually saw her.

Miss Mermaid wore a blouse made of sky-blue tulle. The flower-like collar covered her slender neck, and her thick black hair like seaweed was scattered on her chest.

She was lying on the edge of the pool, her silver tail looming in the pool water, a snow-white arm broke through the water, and she was holding the crystal bottle containing the beauty potion to her eyes for a closer look, allowing it to reflect colourful rays of light in the light—

Xia Nuo: ”…”

This scene was indeed surprisingly beautiful, but for some reason, a strange sense of disobedience arose in his heart.

What is wrong?

The little girl mistakenly thought that he was fascinated by Miss Mermaid’s beauty, so she secretly poked his right hand hanging by his side, and the guard also cast a worried look at him.

He knows the master’s temperament very well. She has always hated being stared at by others, and it is even more taboo to covet her beauty. Miss Mermaid will not tolerate such people, let alone reason with them.

But to the surprise of the guards, this time his master did not get angry, but turned her head and smiled slightly: “You are Chang An?”

Her voice contained a wonderful rhythm, although it was a little hoarse, it sounded indescribably pleasant. While speaking, her ear fins moved slightly as if inadvertently.

Guard: No, no.

Xia Nuo came to his senses, not knowing why the guard looked at him so strangely.

He didn’t know that in the mermaid culture, showing ear fins was only done to lovers. Although the movement just now was fleeting, it was easily captured by the guards who were used to observing words and expressions.

No wonder the master didn’t get angry when he was stared at, the guard thought so.

For a mermaid, being able to attract the eyes of the person she loves is something to be proud of, and of course, she won’t be angry about it.

And I didn’t think it just now, but now that I think about Miss Mermaid’s actions at that time, it really seems that she is trying her best to show herself to gain attention

Is it love at first sight?

The guard looked at the young man who was still confused about the situation and didn’t know whether he should envy him first or sympathise with him first.

He envies him because Miss Mermaid is indeed beautiful and rich. He sympathises with him because Miss Mermaid is born with an unstoppable bad temper, and because of the mermaid family, once they fall in love with someone, they are persistent and possessive until death.

Guard: Better wish him luck first.

Xia Nuo didn’t know the guard’s complicated mood at this time, so he nodded and answered Miss Mermaid’s question: “Yes, I am Chang An. I am here this time to inquire with Miss Tuo Ya about your lost necklace.”

It might be a unique talent of the mermaid clan, Xia Nuo felt dizzy when he was stared at by Miss Mermaid’s enchanting blue eyes.

Miss Mermaid smiled, carefully sized up the boy in front of her, and finally focused on the fine beads of sweat emerging from the tip of the boy’s nose, and suddenly said: “It’s because I didn’t think carefully. In such hot weather, why don’t we go into the water first, and let’s discuss related matters in the water.”

Before Xia Nuo could react, she clapped her hands and summoned a robust manservant with animal ears on her head: “Take them to the locker room and prepare some drinks by the way.”

Her gaze swept over the guard standing aside, who was startled, saluted immediately, and said, “This subordinate is taking his leave.”

He’d better not stay here and be a light bulb.

Not long after, the little girl’s brain circuit subtly overlapped with his.

She drank coconut juice boredly, looked at the two people who had a good conversation and thought: I am really redundant.

The time went back to ten minutes ago.

When Xia Nuo and her reappeared, they both changed their outfits. The little girl put on a light pink one-piece swimsuit, while Xia Nuo…

He tugged on a layer of light blue tulle around his body, feeling terribly ashamed.

The gauze and the gauze on Miss Mermaid’s body are obviously made of the same material, embroidered with complicated patterns of the same colour, which looks extremely delicate.

Even so, as a garment, it is too…

Xia Nuo couldn’t find a word to describe it.

When the valet took them to the dressing room and took out the dress, he really wanted to say no.

Although the valet stated its many advantages, such as precious fabrics, cool and silky touch, and impermeable properties, it could not hide the fact that it looked like a women’s bathrobe.

The servant also emphasised to him that this is Miss Tuo Ya’s treasure, and she specially ordered it to be brought to him.

Can I decline this honour?

Although Miss Tuo Ya is a female mermaid, it is understandable that there is no men’s swimsuit in the mansion, but let Xia Nuo change into this dress

“Is there really no other swimsuit?”

He doesn’t mind servants or guards either!

Seeing the boy’s expectant eyes, the male servant said in embarrassment: “It’s really gone. The master’s swimsuits are all specially made, and other clothes will pollute the seawater that the master specially brought in.”

Xia Nuo: Is there such a saying?

Xixi had changed her clothes a long time ago, and had been waiting outside for a long time, she couldn’t help urging: “Little brother, why don’t you come out?”

With a ‘squeak’, the door of the dressing room was pushed open, and when she looked up, she saw a scene that surprised her, and her eyes opened wide involuntarily.

“You can laugh if you want.” Xia Nuo lowered his head gloomily.

Just now, the valet told him that the clothes he had changed had been taken away.

In other words, if he wasn’t wearing this bathrobe, he was going out naked.

Just at this time, the little girl was urging him outside, Xia Nuo gritted his teeth and put it on his body anyway.

“No, no.” Xi Xi shook her head in a trance, not knowing what she was talking about, “It’s actually very good.”

When the mermaid saw the boy, she had the same thought as her.

Really beautiful.

Under the light blue tulle, the young man’s fair skin was faintly visible. The neckline is not too wide, but it can properly reveal the delicate collarbone and a small piece of lustrous skin on the chest. The long hem of the clothes hung down to the boy’s ankles, and the boy’s round toes were also curled up because of shame and anxiety, looking extremely cute.

Xia Nuo looked forward with his head held high, with a calm look on his face, but the blush that spread to his neck completely betrayed him.

He remembered that when the little girl talked about Miss Mermaid’s beauty preferences last night, he was still wondering whether it was necessary to sell his appearance, but now it turned out to be a prophecy.

Facing Miss Mermaid’s scorching gaze, Xia Nuo persisted for a while, but still couldn’t help but lowered his head, only to see a pair of hands with webbed claws stretched out in front of his eyes.
