T/N:
I said I would count chapter 68 as an extra chapter for the week but I accidentally slept the entirety of Wednesday and couldn’t update on that day, and I’m currently too lazy to update two chapters today. So you get the usual two.
“So what?” The mermaid smiled slightly, “It seems that your luck today is not good.”
“……”
The lady opened her mouth and couldn’t even refute.
Her name is Di Ling.
As a player, she is one of the lucky ones. When she first arrived, she hugged the duchess’ thighs. Compared with other players who need to do quests non-stop to get magic crystals, she only needs to please the duchess to be well-fed and well-fed.
But her life is only superficial.
Like Miss Mermaid, the Duchess belongs to the mermaid family, and her character is more moody. Di Ling was by her side, worried every day, and could only rack his brains to come up with all kinds of novel ideas for the duchess’ entertainment.
The only good thing is that her appearance is still in line with the Duchess’s aesthetics, which also allowed her to gain greater tolerance from the Duchess.
This masquerade party is also a new idea she came up with.
It is worth mentioning that the previous Miss Mermaid and the Duchess did not deal with each other.
Mermaids are a race that can easily cause disputes among their own kind. Their colour control feature is only effective for foreigners, leaving only a naturally bad temper for the same race.
So it is very normal for mermaids to dislike each other.
Di Ling, as the Duchess’s pet and her loyal supporter, naturally shared the same hatred, and his attitude towards Miss Mermaid was not friendly.
The last time Miss Mermaid lost her precious necklace at the Duchess’ banquet, she gloated for a long time.
Of course, this is all happening behind the scenes. In front of Miss Mermaid, she still maintained a superficial respect for her.
Otherwise, once Miss Mermaid is angered, even if she is killed, she will have nothing to say.
She clearly knew that the Duchess would never stand up for her. Although she seemed to be well-loved, pets were just pets after all. It is impossible for the Duchess to break the apparent balance with Miss Mermaid.
This time she brought up the idea of a costume party because she wanted to trick Miss Mermaid.
On the one hand, due to Miss Mermaid’s temper, she may not be able to find players to help her draw cards; on the other hand, even if there are players willing to help, the transformation potion is not so easy to draw.
——Of course, after Miss Mermaid is replaced by monsters, this trick will naturally fail.
After making this proposal, Di Ling volunteered to help the Duchess extract the transformation potion and gained another wave of favorability in front of the Duchess.
——She is still very confident about her luck.
From childhood to adulthood, there are various lottery draws, no matter how big or small, she will definitely win. No matter what kind of card game, she can easily achieve the achievement of the complete picture book.
So even though the shipment rate of the Transformation Potion was only one in a thousand, she didn’t take it seriously.
However, the reality gave her a slap in the face—her good luck seemed to have left her. Up to now, she has drawn nearly two thousand cards, and a lot of magic crystals have been invested, but there is still no shadow of the transformation potion.
Thinking of the boast she had made in front of the Duchess, Di Ling became more and more panicked, and also became more and more crazy – no matter what, she must take out the transformation potion today!
Seeing Miss Mermaid appear now stimulated her sensitive nerves even more.
Knowing her intention of coming here, Di Ling looked behind Miss Mermaid, as if he could see the tightly-shielded boy directly through her.
“My luck today is really not good.” She forced a smile and said calmly, “I don’t know how lucky the gentleman you brought is? What is his identity?”
She said mockingly: “Isn’t he also your pet? Why didn’t I hear that you have such a hobby before?”
It seems that by belittling the identity of the teenager, she can get a little distorted sense of satisfaction—I am half a catty with him, there is no difference at all.
Pet?
This time the title was placed on his own head, Xia Nuo couldn’t help being stunned.
When Miss Mermaid said that the lady was the Duchess’ pet, he was still a little puzzled.
But he could hear the maliciousness in what the lady said now.
He just wanted to stand up and refute, but he didn’t expect the mermaid’s movements to be faster than his.
Miss Mermaid took a step back, took the young man’s arm, and retorted: “Of course not, Chang An is—”
She smiled slightly, and said something that irritated Di Ling: “——My love.”
Xia Nuo was taken aback for a moment, but then he reacted and got close to the mermaid’s body, even shortening the distance between the two: “That’s right, that’s it.”
——Since I promised to be Miss Mermaid’s male companion, how can I tear her down at this time?
Although the height difference between the boy and the mermaid is so large, it is inevitable that people will have the idea of wanting to swap their genders, but for some reason,
The two cuddled together but inexplicably seemed very harmonious as if they were made in heaven and should be together.
Di Ling’s eyes were red with jealousy—of course, she didn’t have any undue thoughts about one of them. To this day, one of them is still the object of her dislike, and the other is a total stranger.
The object of her jealousy is naturally Xia Nuo.
She could see that the feelings in the mermaid’s eyes did not seem to be fake, she really regarded the boy as her lover sincerely.
Originally, she should laugh at the depravity of the mermaid in her heart and fallen in love with a human being, but now, jealousy is the most natural feeling in her heart.
As a player, she needs to curry favour with monsters in order to maintain her superficial appearance, but the young man was so easily favoured by monsters, which caused great resentment in her already distorted heart.
She had long forgotten that once upon a time, she was also the envy of other players, and now that she met a boy who was treated many times better than her, she also began to feel that it was unfair.
However, what kind of volcano erupted in Di Ling’s heart? She finally just laughed and said, “Is that so?”
She turned around to give up her position, gritted her teeth secretly, and said to Xia Nuo: “In that case, then you draw cards first, Mr Chang An.”
She wants to see how strong the relationship between the two is! If the boy repeatedly fails to draw the potion the mermaid wants, what expression will the mermaid make?
Until now, she did not believe that her luck had worsened.
——There must be something wrong with the holy spring!
Anyway, if she couldn’t even draw it herself, how could the boy draw it out? She doesn’t believe that there is anyone more lucky than her in this world!
Xia Nuo’s luck was not as good as hers, of course, on the contrary, his luck was actually terrible.
Hearing this suddenly, he couldn’t help but look up at the mermaid beside him.
The mermaid gave him an encouraging smile, and put the handbag full of magic crystals in the boy’s hand: “Go.”
Xia Nuo took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.
At this time, he really hoped that the previous voice would appear again and give him another reminder.
Although until now, he still didn’t know what the intention of that voice was, but after facing the lady’s contemptuous gaze and knowing that she and Miss Mermaid were at odds, he realised that he didn’t want to embarrass the mermaid at all.
He stepped forward and threw the magic crystal into the holy spring. The spring water ripples in circles. I don’t know if it was his illusion, but he seemed to hear a chuckle coming from the void.
Ten cards lined up, Xia Nuo stretched out his hand tentatively, as if a pair of invisible hands appeared in the air, gently grabbing his fingers, guiding him to click on one of the cards.
A flash of white light flashed, and a bottle of potion appeared in Xia Nuo’s hand. He gently shook the bottle, and the blue liquid flowed, reminding him of the eyes of a mermaid.
…the same colour as her eyes.
Under Di Ling’s unbelievable gaze, Xia Nuo turned to face the mermaid and raised the crystal bottle. His smile seemed to be shining, and he looked so cute.
“Look, the transformation potion.” The boy’s voice was soft and pleasant.
“My Chang An is amazing.” The mermaid didn’t hesitate to praise her.
Xia Nuo was a little embarrassed: “Actually, it’s not my credit…”
He whispered a thank you to the surrounding air, although he didn’t know whether the owner of that voice could hear it, or whether it was helping him with various purposes, but at least now, he really appreciates it from the bottom of his heart.
Di Ling’s smile was a little distorted: “Congratulations, Miss Tou Ya, for getting what she wanted.”
Seeing what she thought was the most unlikely thing to happen in front of her, she didn’t know how to react—the young man took out the potion that she had been thinking about but couldn’t even take out after smoking it once!
Di Ling’s eyes were fixed on the bottle of a transformation potion, wishing she could snatch it from the boy’s hands, but her remaining rationality dispelled her impulsive thoughts.
She forced a smile, and her voice sounded very stiff: “The Duchess is still waiting for me, so I will take my leave first.”
At this time, she remembered what the servant had said to persuade her, but anyone with a discerning eye could understand that she just wanted to find a way to go down.
Even if a lot of magic crystals were wasted, the duchess would punish her if she went back, she didn’t want to stay here anymore.
But she didn’t get any response, the mermaid and the boy were talking on their own, and no one paid her any attention.
Di Ling bit his lip, glanced at them unwillingly, turned around and left quickly and quietly with his servants.
“Drink it, will your fishtail turn into legs?” Xia Nuo couldn’t help looking at the mermaid’s fishtail curiously, “How will it change?”
“If you really want to know so much, how about seeing it with your own eyes?” The mermaid raised her eyebrows.
“No, no, forget it.” Hearing the mermaid’s playful tone, Xia Nuo suddenly had a bad feeling, and quickly shook his head and refused.
“Okay.” The mermaid had expected his rejection, and she said meaningfully, “Tomorrow, I will give you a surprise.”
