On the second day, Xia Nuo did see the ‘surprise’ that the mermaid said.

No, to be more accurate, it was ‘scared’.

In fact, he didn’t really see the mermaid who drank the transformation potion until the afternoon of the second day.

Early in the morning, Xia Nuo was told by the servant that Miss Mermaid was going through the process of transformation. This period of time can be as short as half a day or as long as a day. Generally, mermaids have different physiques and the length of time is also different.

Although this process takes a long time, it is not dangerous. What the mermaid meant was that if Xia Nuo felt bored during this period, he could visit her mansion, or go out to play accompanied by servants and guards.

The manservant stood there after conveying Miss Mermaid’s words, waiting for Xia Nuo to make up his mind. Xia Nuo thought about it, but finally, he didn’t go out.

Although looking at the pitiful numbers on the progress of the maze, he really wanted to take this time to explore, but if he still needs to bring servants and guards, then forget it.

It happened that there was a library in the mansion of the mermaid. After Xia Nuo asked about the location of the library, he planned to spend some time there and also happened to find out if there were any other books about the labyrinth and the devil.

Most of the books in the library are various. Although there are special staff to take care of them, it can still be seen that most of the books are in a new state that has not been read, and most of them are some picture books, picture albums similar to ‘Beautiful Boys Collection’ and ‘Beauty Collection’ launched by specialised institutions.

Looking at them, Xia Nuo seemed to have a clearer understanding of Miss Mermaid’s preferences.

However, after reading all morning, he didn’t find any other books about labyrinths or demon kings. Instead, he found a book introducing the history of the rise and fall of the mermaid family, which opened Xia Nuo’s eyes.

Moreover, this book also comes with a genealogy map of the mermaid family. Xia Nuo actually found Miss Mermaid’s name on it. On the tree diagram, her name is closely related to that of the Duchess, and the two are blood cousins.

It was the first time Xia Nuo knew about this matter. It had to be said that the relationship between the two was bad, and it was partly related to their blood relationship.

It is difficult for children who grew up in similar families not to be compared.

He turned to the portrait of the Duchess at the back of the book. Quite objectively speaking, Xia Nuo felt that Miss Mermaid was more beautiful.

After spending the whole morning, Xia Nuo has not finished reading the first part of this thick tome.

The first part tells how the ancestors of mermaids survived in the deep sea. Although there are many brutal survival struggles in it, there are also large-scale descriptions of the underwater scenery. Xia Nuo simply read it as a travel book and read it with gusto.

When he was leaving, he saw the scenery of the back garden from the window of the library and immediately decided to move his position in the afternoon and go to the garden to read.

Under the instruction of Miss Mermaid, the servants in the mansion all treated the young man as a second master, so they would not stop him at all, instead, they graciously set up parasols in the garden, and drinks and snacks were ready, for fear that he would be dissatisfied in the slightest.

After all, everyone could see the mermaid’s attitude, and the young man’s position in her heart was obvious. The servants even started betting on when the young man would become the real master of the mansion.

Of course, Xia Nuo didn’t know what the servants were thinking in private. He lay on the rocking chair under the parasol, and the cool breeze blew around him, bringing the fragrance of flowers.

There are pre-processed fruits and exquisite snacks at hand. At this time, Xia Nuo discovered one advantage of the player having to eat the food extracted from the holy spring – if he would not be full from eating other foods, then he could eat as much as he wanted, and he didn’t have to worry about not being able to eat at all.

In this way, you can taste more delicacies, maybe foodies will think this is a good thing.

The afternoon sun was strangely not too hot, maintaining a comfortable temperature, Xia Nuo reading the book, suddenly felt a burst of tiredness, he struggled a bit, still unable to resist the sleep attack, and he slowly closed his eyes.

Just happened to see a key plot, and before going to sleep, he was thinking, the book said that after the mermaid came ashore, he was helped by a mysterious man, is that mysterious man, the devil…

“Chang An…Chang An?”

In his sleep, he seemed to hear a deep male voice calling his name.

This voice seems familiar…

Xia Nuo thought in a daze, where did he hear it? As if in a dream…

By the way, he remembered, isn’t this the voice of Miss Mermaid in his dream that day? At that time, the mermaid suddenly turned into a male, and his voice was exactly like this…

Xia Nuo’s heart suddenly beat fast, and he suddenly remembered how in that dream, the mermaid forced him to confess to the corner.

His sentence “Where’s your answer, Chang An?” is still lingering in my ears, Xia Nuo who woke up there last time thought: No way, is that dream like a TV series, is there a sequel? The mermaid didn’t get a reply last time, so he chased him in this dream again?!

Startled, he struggled to open his eyes, and a magnified handsome face appeared in front of him.

Azure eyes, neat short hair, looking along the beautifully shaped chin, you can also see his Adam’s apple and flat chest that cannot be ignored…

“It really is you!” Xia Nuo blurted out, rubbing his eyes, seeing that the man in front of him hadn’t disappeared, so he said aggrievedly, “Why did you still chase me here, I really don’t know…”

Until now, he still feels that liking someone is a matter of great significance, and it cannot be said lightly. And for some reason, he always felt that there was a trace of a person in his heart.

Although he didn’t have any memory of that person in his mind, he couldn’t say why, and he couldn’t provide any strong evidence, but he was inexplicably sure that there was such a person.

When he was with Miss Mermaid, he didn’t feel that there was anything wrong, but the image of Miss Mermaid after the gender transformation he saw in the dream seemed to overlap slightly with the person in his heart. It made Xia Nuo’s heart beat fast involuntarily.

But also because of this, it felt like Miss Mermaid was being used as a substitute, which made Xia Nuo feel a lot of guilt.

So no matter how the mermaid made him blush, he was never really angry. Of course, there is also a reason why his temper is really soft.

Regardless of the issue of principle, Xia Nuo felt that he would never get angry with the mermaid.

So now facing the mermaid that appeared in his ‘dream’ again, he didn’t know how to face him.

There were still some red marks from the chair on the young man’s fair face, and the mermaid heard his soft, non-blaming complaints, and asked with great interest: “Where did Chang An meet me?”

He originally thought that the young man had discovered his other identity. After all, the young man had seen his true face in the maze back then.

But after thinking about it, because of this, he had already made preparations and used a little trick so that the boy would not link the two together, even if they had the same appearance, it would not be a hindrance.

So it’s not that he discovered his true identity, the boy’s words are very intriguing.

Xia Nuo couldn’t help but feel a little strange when he heard this, and couldn’t help asking: “Don’t you just break into my dream again and again? Why…”

As soon as he said it, he suddenly felt something was wrong. A gust of wind blew by, the shadows of the flowers shook, and the leaves made a rattling sound.

Can dreams be so real?

Xia Nuo felt the force of the breeze on his cheeks and fell into a daze for a moment.

But if it wasn’t a dream, how could the man in front of him explain it?

He subconsciously looked up and down at the man in front of him, and indeed found the difference between him and the mermaid in the dream——his lower body is not a long silver fishtail, it’s actually two long human legs.

No, no way.

Xia Nuo had an unbelievable guess in his heart, and looked at the mermaid in surprise——no, it should be a man.

“So Chang An once dreamed of me?” The truth was pieced together from the boy’s words, and the man’s mood suddenly became happy.

“…” Xia Nuo didn’t know how to answer, so his cheek was pinched lightly.

Softly, the man withdrew his fingers, thinking so, he raised the corners of his lips: “Do you still think it’s a dream?”

Although the man’s strength was very light, Xia Nuo still felt a slight pain, he couldn’t help nodding his head in a daze, then came to his senses again, and shook his head quickly: “I don’t feel it…”

but……

“Miss Tou Ya?” He called tentatively and asked uncertainty, “Is that you?”

The man nodded with a smile in his eyes, and took in the boy’s bewildered look: “Yes, it’s me.”

“…” Xia Nuo felt that his brain was a little confused, and he found his voice with difficulty, “How did you become like this? Could it be because of that bottle of transformation potion?”

But… that’s a shape-changing potion, not a sex-changing potion, right? He couldn’t believe it, or did he have any unknown side effects? Can only be used by players, will it go wrong in other species?

But seeing the mermaid was not surprising, and he didn’t look flustered at all, so he was a little uncertain.

Perhaps…was this also expected by the mermaid?

But didn’t Xi Xi tell him that mermaids can’t change their gender? Or did the mermaid use some forbidden secret technique?

Xia Nuo’s thoughts became more and more outrageous.

The man looked at the young man’s wild thoughts with great interest, and soon his mind became knotted, so he could only look at him helplessly, his eyes full of thirst for knowledge.

However, the man’s bad taste broke out, and he just replied lightly: “I just found that the shape-changing potion can’t meet my needs, so I used a little trick to become what I am now.”

“After all—” He looked at the young man in front of him meaningfully, “You have to do a full set of acting.”

Xia NUo: “…”

He shuddered involuntarily because the man’s words gave rise to a terrible guess.

“I don’t want to be a girl!” He shook his head in a panic and suddenly felt that the man had become an evil big devil in an adventure story, and his whole body was filled with a terrifying aura.

You have to do a full set of acting… The mermaid has already become a man for this, doesn’t it mean that he will also become a girl?

It is acceptable to ask him to wear women’s clothes, but if he really turns into a girl… this is absolutely rejected!

And hearing the man say ‘using a little trick’ so lightly as if he could change a person’s gender just by moving his fingers.

Xia Nuo looked at the man rather horrified, fearing that he would give him a ‘gender change’ if he didn’t agree.

The man looked at the little animal that was trembling with fright because of wanting to be crooked, and couldn’t help laughing: “Don’t be afraid, I won’t turn you into a girl.”

“Don’t worry, don’t worry…” He stroked the boy’s fluffy hair and comforted him patiently.

Being stroked by the man with just the right amount of force, Xia Nuo felt a burst of relief for no reason. Seeing the little animal under him gradually relax, the man added:

“However, we still need to make a small change.”

Xia Nuo looked up, only to see a mysterious smile on the man’s face.

The figure of a young girl was clearly reflected in the mirror.

‘She’ had black and thick black hair that reached to her waist, she was wearing a white nightdress and a pair of soft night shoes, and she was sitting on the round stool in front of the dressing table.

In the mirror, ‘she’ has a beautiful nose and red lips, with a pair of beautiful eyes, the ends of the eyes are innocently drooping, and the expression in the eyes is covered by the eyelashes like butterfly wings, making her look very cute.

“Chang An?”

With a ‘squeak’, the door was pushed open, and the man walked in.
