T/N:

Hey, I don’t really know if anybody noticed, but  this site was inaccessible for two days and the reason is really noticeable. I got it revamped !!

Went through a lot of struggles and a lot of falling asleep but I feel like it is much better than the previous one, and since I manually changed every page because I wanted it to be correct, I fixed any noticeable errors I could find.

Xia Nuo, “…”

The mermaid watched with great satisfaction as the boy opened his mouth obediently, revealing a little red tip of his tongue, and swallowed the snack.

There was a slight wet touch on her fingertips, she quietly retracted her hand and put it on her lips, and kissed it lightly.

Xia Nuo, who was struggling to chew his food, happened to miss this scene. His cheeks were bulging, like a hamster with full cheek pouches, and he asked vaguely, “Miss Tuo Ya, can you tell me where the Treant Clan’s territory is?”

——Smart people don’t speak dark words, I have already seen through your plan, so you should clearly state what conditions you have!

The boy’s black and white eyes spoke so.

“Hmm…” Miss Mermaid pondered for a while and actually acted like she was seriously thinking about it, Xia Nuo couldn’t help feeling a little anxious.

After pretending to think about it for a while, the mermaid said something unexpected to Xia Nuo: “Of course it’s ok. With our relationship, why would I not want to satisfy you with such a trivial request?”

Huh?!

Xia Nuo opened his round eyes wide, feeling that he was frightened.

Having been tricked by the mermaid countless times, he couldn’t believe it. How could Miss Toya be so easy to talk to this time? Is there another trick waiting for him?

Xia Nuo secretly raised his vigilance but then heard Miss Mermaid continue to say: “This should be your reward for helping to find the necklace. After all, you also paid a huge sacrifice for this.”

What she said was meaningful, but Xia Nuo was in a daze. He didn’t understand what she meant until he arrived at Miss Spider’s tailor shop.

Miss Spider’s tailor shop is located in another space, which is different from the small town that Xia Nuo first arrived in. It is a quite prosperous city, and the wealthy Miss Mermaid also owns a villa here.

The carriage put the two of them at the door of the tailor’s shop, and the manservant driving the carriage was sent away by the mermaid to inform the villa of the master’s arrival.

“Two hours…no, come back in three hours.” Miss Mermaid said.

Not far from the tailor’s shop, there was a holy spring. At this time, many people gathered there, but judging from their posture, they didn’t look like they were queuing up to draw cards. Instead, they formed a circle, as if they were watching something.

“Why haven’t you won yet!” Suddenly, an angry shout came from the centre of the crowd.

Xia Nuo looked over curiously, passing through the gaps in the crowd, he happened to meet a frowning, beautiful woman with an impatient face, and was glared at by that woman.

Xia Nuo, who was angered for no reason, froze for a moment. Combining the discussion of the crowd and her previous shouts, it was not difficult to guess that this lady was so irritable because of the card crash.

He understands this feeling very well, Xia Nuo, who feels the same way, thinks so.

This kind of desperate feeling that you can’t get the card you want no matter how much money you spend and all kinds of metaphysics, it’s like being deprived of air, and the whole person is about to suffocate to death-he deeply understands it.

Good luck, he silently blessed the lady with bad luck and followed the mermaid into the tailor shop.

He didn’t notice that the moment Miss Mermaid entered the door, she turned her head slightly to one side, and the figure of the lady appeared indifferently in her eyes.

When Xia Nuo stepped into the tailor shop, he still looked relaxed, not knowing what he was going to experience in the next three hours. But soon, he understood what the mermaid meant by ‘sacrifice’.

“Don’t move!” Miss Spider said sternly.

Her eight legs were holding tools such as scissors, a measuring ruler, and a marker, and compared them to the boy.

Xia Nuo dragged the heavy fabric on his body, stood up helplessly, and suddenly missed the clothing production that had become an assembly line in the real world.

If only you had to try on the finished product.

However, the reality is that he can only let Miss Spider take the measurements for him, and then drag the thick fabrics on his body, and let her check the effect of the upper body and conceive the style of the dress.

How should he put it? Miss Spider is indeed an experienced tailor who specialises in serving nobles, and her work efficiency is indeed very high.

In just an hour, Xia Nuo saw that she had already drawn six design drawings of the dress. It had to be said that even if it was just a few drawings, it could be seen that they would be astonishingly beautiful after they were made.

Xia Nuo also paid a price for this beauty – he has stood there for an hour, and at this moment he just feels terribly tired.

Thinking of standing there for another two hours, Xia Nuo felt his eyes go dark, and couldn’t help casting a look at Miss Mermaid asking for help.

Miss Mermaid was originally sitting at the side, admiring the picture of the boy wearing various fabrics with great interest, when she suddenly received the boy’s eyes asking for help, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Anna, Chang An is already tired.” The mermaid looked at Miss Spider, unaffected by her stern face at all, “You can just sit on the chair next, right? As a first-class tailor, I believe you must have a detailed understanding of the suitable style for Chang An.”

Miss Spider frowned when she heard this. As a very temperamental tailor, she always hated customers who refused to follow her instructions and bargained with her.

But Miss Mermaid’s words seemed to have magical powers, and she changed her mind unconsciously. Even so, she was still a little reluctant subconsciously, and her tone was a little blunt: “Just sit on that chair.”

She pointed to the chair next to Miss Mermaid.

Finally able to sit down, Xia Nuo glanced at the mermaid gratefully, and asked in a low voice, “Did you work so hard when you came to make clothes before?”

Facing the admiring gaze of the young man, who had never had such an experience before, the mermaid nodded without conscience: “Of course, Ms. Spider always treats her guests equally.”

“It’s too powerful.” Xia Nuo sighed in a low voice.

He felt that the mermaid lady who needed to stand on her tail was definitely much harder than him.

The mermaid nodded slightly and cheekily accepted the boy’s praise.

Although he could sit on a chair and rest, his body was wrapped in cloth, and Xia Nuo was still required not to move around at will.

At this time, Miss Mermaid was sitting beside him, and she found something to do.

“Ah—” The scene on the carriage was repeated again.

Miss Mermaid held various snacks, and enthusiastically fed the small animals that fell into her hands and could not move, and experienced the fun that she had never had before.

Because Xia Nuo consumed too much energy, he also felt a little hungry, and he had succumbed to the mermaid once before, and his bottom line was lowered a lot. This time Miss Mermaid brought the snack in front of him, and he was able to open his mouth without any psychological burden.

And I don’t know why, I didn’t realise it before, but after coming to this world, Xia Nuo found that his appetite has grown a lot.

Just like now, after eating a whole plate of snacks, he still doesn’t feel full. If it was changed to before, he would have already eaten so much food.

“…Did I eat too much?” Xia Nuo said worriedly, looking at the empty plate blankly.

“How could it be?” The mermaid didn’t realise the seriousness of the problem at all, “You can eat as much as you want, and I don’t have any opinion on it.”

——and even a little happy to see it happen.

“That’s not what I meant…” Xia Nuo shook his head in distress, “I mean, I didn’t eat so much before.”

Neither yesterday nor the day before yesterday showed any signs, and his appetite seemed to only increase today.

The mermaid looked Xia Nuo up and down, intentionally or unintentionally lingering on the boy’s still flat belly for a while longer.

“Could it be that you are pregnant with a baby? It’s also possible that your appetite suddenly increases in the early stages of pregnancy.” The mermaid said solemnly, seeing the rather speechless gaze from the young man, she changed her tune, “I’m just joking.”

“I checked it again, and your body is very healthy, and you have ruled out illness or some kind of magic factor.”

Hearing what the mermaid said, Xia Nuo suddenly had a guess—could it be because of the different food?

Each of the foods he smoked in the holy spring had clearly marked his satiety level. Perhaps only by eating such foods can he be truly full?

Recalling the meals he had eaten before, apart from the food drawn from the holy spring that he ate when he first arrived, he also ate snacks to increase his satiety several times in the mermaid’s mansion.

Perhaps it was because of this that he discovered something strange so late.

But if that’s the case… Xia Nuo frowned, the Holy Spring really controlled the player’s lifeline.

After all, it is impossible for anyone not to eat or drink, as long as they don’t want to starve to death, they must draw cards in the holy spring.

Such an approach… is really terrifying.

“Chang An?”

Xia Nuo came back to his senses, and quickly said, “Sorry, I think I probably found the reason.”

He didn’t mean to say more, so the mermaid kindly chose not to ask questions.

As if aware of the boy’s depression, the mermaid suddenly said, “By the way, I suddenly remembered something and I need Chang An’s help.”

“What do I need to do?” Xia Nuo also hoped to have other things to divert his attention.

“At the drag party, I need to wear men’s clothing, you know that, right?” Seeing the boy nod, the mermaid continued, “That’s the problem. If I need to wear men’s clothing, I will turn the fishtails into legs.”

Speaking of this, the mermaid half-truth showed a troubled expression. Xia Nuo was a little bit uneasy because of the mermaid’s unhesitating agreement to tell him about the secluded place of the tree-human race before — I have to say, the mermaid’s move of retreating into advance is really beautiful – after hearing what the mermaid said, he was also a little distressed: “But, I don’t seem to have anyway…”

He didn’t know how to turn the mermaid’s tail into legs. Could it be that he needed to find a wizard to ask for potions?

“No, only you can do this.” The mermaid suddenly grabbed his hands, her blue eyes were like a bottomless ocean, “Only humans can obtain a potion from the holy spring. It is called the potion of transformation, and it can just solve the current problem.”

Xia Nuo, “……”

Even though there was a faint reluctance towards drawing cards, after the tailor lady finished her work, Xia Nuo still walked towards the holy spring.

“Let me declare first, my luck is not very good.” Xia Nuo walked in front and reminded her quite seriously.

The probability of the appearance of a transformation potion is lower than that of the beauty potion, so he is not sure that he can get it.

“It doesn’t matter, what I have is the magic crystal,” the mermaid said nonchalantly, “you can smoke it as many times as you want.”

Nearly three hours had passed since they arrived at the tailor shop, and the crowd around the holy spring had dispersed a lot, but the lady who drew the card and crashed the plane was still standing there, throwing magic crystals into the spring water again and again.

“Forget it, ma’am.” Her servant advised, “It’s time for you to go home. The master and the eldest madam must be waiting impatiently now.”

“No, I don’t believe I can’t draw the transformation potion!” The lady shook her head resolutely, her eyes were already faintly red.

Transformation Potion.

Xia Nuo’s ears caught this word, and he couldn’t help but look at her in surprise.

Such a coincidence, do they have the same goal?

As if aware of his sight, the lady turned her head and gave the young man a fierce look again: “Why is it you again?”

Just as Xia Nuo was about to say something, the mermaid stood up to him, blocking the lady’s sight: “Long time no see, Duchess’ little pet.”

The mermaid casually introduced her to Xia Nuo: “This is the human being who proposed the idea of holding a masquerade ball as I said last time.”

The lady’s complexion changed as if she had been greatly insulted by this title. Although this was true, few people dared to speak it out in person. Unfortunately, the mermaid is one of them.

Her chest heaved and she forcibly suppressed her anger, and a smile appeared on her face: “Hi, Miss Tou Ya. If I’m not mistaken, you are also here to smoke the transformation potion?”
