“This one is your female companion—no, male companion?” The Duchess put down the fan covering her face and smiled at Xia Nuo.
Although these words were addressed to the man, during the process of speaking, her eyes were fixed on the ‘girl’ all the time, and she never left for a moment.
Boyfriend?
The surrounding monsters who were listening to the two mermaids with their ears pricked up couldn’t help being stunned. Then they remembered that they were participating in a costume party, so this fresh and charming ‘girl’ in front of her should be a teenager in her real identity.
But the strange thing is that before the Duchess pointed this out, no one discovered the truth. The boy didn’t wear any collar or other decorations to cover his Adam’s apple, but was ignored by everyone in unison.
It can only be said that the appearance of the teenager was so amazing that they all subconsciously ignored this trivial flaw.
However, this news was more shocking than knowing the identity of the man.
This person is Miss Tou Ya?!
Because of some inexplicable fear of the man, they didn’t dare to look at him as blatantly as before, but the eyes they cast secretly were also very conspicuous.
In their impression, Ms. Tou Ya is just a mermaid who is born beautiful and has a rich family. She has the unique arrogance and bad temper of mermaids. Apart from that, her strength is not known to everyone.
Not too well-known means that it is not too strong, not too weak, it is at the middle level, and it is inconspicuous among all the monsters.
Is it possible that sex change can increase strength?
With their eyesight, it can be seen that the mermaid has really changed gender, and this unreliable guess can’t help but come to mind for a while.
Perhaps they should also try this method to see if their strength will increase?
——There are actually some monsters eager to try this.
Xia Nuo didn’t know that the man’s appearance was about to cause a sex change trend in the monster world. He couldn’t help but shuddered under the Duchess’ warm gaze, and subconsciously leaned towards the man.
——However, the Duchess’s eyes became even hotter because of this.
The blond-haired mermaid narrowed her eyes, looking at the young man with a predatory look.
The Duchess’ previous preferences are also known to everyone: she likes beautiful creatures, whether they are humans or monsters, as long as they satisfy her aesthetics, she will try her best to take them as her own.
The Duchess is born with an extreme personality, the kind of person who ‘loves you to the knees, and evil to the abyss’. [T/N: the idiom refers to people treating others according to their own preferences]
When she is nice to someone, she really wishes she could lift him up to the sky. As long as she can fulfil all the wishes of the other person, she will fulfil them without hesitation.
She was also born extremely beautiful, and few people could resist the temptation of such beauty and material things, they bowed down under her pomegranate skirt one after another, willingly named them pets, and were raised by her.
Even if there were a few steadfast ones, no matter how much she bullied her, they would usually end very badly.
Either the ‘accidental death’ or the complete destruction of appearance are all written by the Duchess — she has always adhered to a concept: what she can’t get is worse than destroying it.
However, the Duchess likes the new and dislikes the old very quickly. Once she gets tired of a certain pet, she will leave it behind without hesitation.
Once you have tasted the taste of being pampered, the subsequent snub is especially cruel.
In order not to lose the Duchess’ favour, her little pets would try their best to please her and satisfy all her requests. The sudden change in their attitudes was also surprising.
However, although most monsters know about her hobby, they have no problem with it.
On the one hand, no matter what happens in private, on the surface, both parties are willing to do what you want, and there is no chance for outsiders to interfere.
On the other hand, the Duchess is very careful about the selection of targets. Either they come from a humble background, or they are players like Di Ling. What they have in common is that they have very little involvement, and no one will care about their life or death.
In this way, naturally, no one will be nosy.
But now the eyes of the monsters are turning between the duchess, the boy, and Miss Tou Ya—no, Mr. Tou Ya, all of them seem to be watching a good show.
——Looking at the appearance of the duchess, it is obvious that she is trying to get the young man’s idea, but the young man is different from her previous targets. He is obviously ‘an owned thing’, and his master doesn’t look like a man to mess with.
Not to mention the man’s attitude towards the boy as a treasure, given the relationship between the two of them, it is impossible for him to voluntarily sell the boy.
Regarding the grievances between the mermaid and the duchess, although the monsters are not very keen on gossip, they are well aware of it.
The two sisters have had a bad relationship since childhood, and the cause has to be traced back to the grievances of the previous generation.
The Duchess and the mermaid’s mother are also sisters, and they fell in love with a male mermaid at the same time, and the male mermaid finally chose the younger sister—that is, the mermaid’s mother. The elder sister was so angry that she married the elder brother of the male mermaid, and the dispute started from then on.
It just so happened that the duchess and the mermaid were born on the same day. There are countless stories of comparison and competition between them, but the most famous one is the disappearance of Miss Mermaid’s necklace during the last banquet.
Regarding the necklace, to be precise, it is the ring on the necklace, that has a lot of background.
Although when Xia Nuo asked about it, the mermaid only casually said that it was a token of love from his parents, but in fact, it also represented a well-known meaning-the promise of the devil.
In the book Xia Nuo read before, when the ancestors of mermaids came to land from the deep sea, they got help from a mysterious man, and that mysterious man was the devil.
He took the ancestors of the mermaids as servants but drove them away when he was going to sleep. To his loyal subordinates for so many years, he made a promise:
He can fulfil an unconditional demand of the person who bears this ring.
This promise is of great significance. You must know that even though the Demon King has not appeared in front of people for so many years, the monsters’ awe of him has not diminished in the slightest.
But more, the symbolic significance of this promise is greater than its practical significance.
No one dares to provoke the holder of the ring, after all, you never know what kind of wish the holder will make.
Because of the great significance of the ring, and the place where it was lost was at the Duchess’s banquet, there were many celebrities, and the news spread very quickly.
So its loss quickly became a well-known event.
What is more striking is the subtle attitude of the Duchess after the ring was lost. Not only did she not help find the thief, but she also sneered at Miss Mermaid, Ironically, she lost the necklace because she was careless, and used this as an excuse to reject Miss Mermaid’s proposal to search the castle.
Because of this incident, many people secretly suspected that the thief was either instigated by her or had some kind of connection with her, maybe it was one of her favoured pets or something.
But this is also their private speculation, without evidence, no one can really draw a conclusion on this.
But this does not prevent them from watching the good show of the two of them now.
The man felt the young man’s dependence on him, smiled ignorantly, and said bluntly: “Duchess, please take your eyes off Chang An, coveting someone else’s lover is not a noble thing.”
“Lover?” The Duchess raised her eyebrows rather strangely, automatically ignoring the man’s request.
Seeing the man nod, she couldn’t help being very surprised.
It turns out that the identity of the boy is not the pet she thought?
But looking at the young man in front of her, she suddenly understood the mermaid’s actions.
Before meeting the boy, she never thought that she would fall in love with such a human being who absolutely did not conform to her aesthetics.
You know, the ones she liked before were always bright and charming beauties. As for the others, she despised them for being too bland in appearance to catch her eyes.
It wasn’t until she saw the boy that she overturned her previous opinion.
The young man in women’s attire looks as fresh as a lotus dew, with a shy and timid style. He looks charming and can arouse people’s affection.
If the beauties the Duchess liked before were like ripe cherries with sweet and attractive juices, then the young man is like a flower in a bud, which can significantly stimulate people’s desire to be cared for.
Seeing him like this, the Duchess suddenly awakened to a different hobby.
If you can paint this white boy with your own colour and teach him step by step to look like you like.
This sense of accomplishment must be unmatched by her previous games.
She fell into delusions on her own and smiled meaningfully.
If Xia Nuo knew what the Duchess thought of him, he would shake his head repeatedly and tell her that it was all an illusion.
What shyness and timidity, what fresh and moving, are all fake!
Perhaps it was some strange bonus that women’s clothing brought to him, Xia Nuo found that his current appearance attracted a hundred times more attention than before.
When he walked out with his previous appearance, most people would think that he was a cute boy, but when he put on women’s clothes, he seemed to have transformed into a lovely and pitiful little white lotus.
What’s worse is that little white lotuses obviously attract more perverted attention than a cute boy—of course, here we have to exclude a certain monster who has perverted thoughts about any boy of any appearance. I believe everyone knows who it is, so there is no need to mention it here.
Xia Nuo really wanted to defend himself. Isn’t it normal to feel shy when wearing women’s clothing for such a large occasion?
Because I’m not used to high heels, my walking posture is a bit awkward, why did I become weak again?
Isn’t it natural to feel afraid of being stared at by eyes that seem to want to eat him alive? It’s just leaning against the mermaid, how is it so pitiful?
Can you close those weird filters?
The boy blinked his eyes, thinking quite distressed.
As for the lover in the man’s mouth, it’s just the first time raw and the second time cooked [T/N: It means that the more times people meet/experience something, the more familiar they become with it]. He is a little accustomed to such a statement, and he can’t feel any desire to slander.
On the contrary, it was the duchess who was hostile to him, which made him even more disgusted.
“It’s time for the banquet to begin, right?” The man’s words mercilessly pulled the delusional Duchess out, “Blocking guests at the door is not like the way a host should treat guests.”
Staring at the man’s heavy eyes, the Duchess froze for a moment, then subconsciously took a step back and got out of the way.
After reacting, she was very annoyed at her act of showing weakness, but the man lightly stabbed her in the heart again.
“Thank you.” He nodded slightly and walked towards the door with the young man on his arm. When passing by the duchess, the man raised the corners of his lips, “By the way, I forgot to mention it. My lover is not very brave, so you’d better not show such a naked, ugly face in front of him, it will scare him.”
“If you are stubborn, then I have no choice but to take some extraordinary measures.”
“…”
It wasn’t until the man walked away with the boy that the Duchess came back to her senses, and then——monstrous anger surged into her heart: How dare he talk to her like that!
You know, because of her power, the Duchess has always been highly sought after. Even the former Miss Mermaid had never contradicted her so bluntly, but the man’s words hit her directly in the face like a slap in the face.
Saying that she hates her cousin, is she going to tear her face off?
The Duchess could feel that the eyes of the guests around her were all focused on her. Although they didn’t speak, she knew that they must all be laughing at her secretly, waiting to see her jokes.
She stared viciously at the man’s receding back, determined to snatch the boy away from him so that he could feel the pain of losing something he loved.
She was immersed in her own fantasy when suddenly, a burning sensation came from inside her body.
“Aaahhhh—!”
“This one is your female companion—no, male companion?” The Duchess put down the fan covering her face and smiled at Xia Nuo.
Although these words were addressed to the man, during the process of speaking, her eyes were fixed on the ‘girl’ all the time, and she never left for a moment.
