When Xia Nuo woke up the next day, he saw the chest of the mermaid close at hand.
The memory before going to sleep last night quickly came back, Xia Nuo couldn’t help but be dazed for a while, and then he felt that the thing under his neck was not a soft pillow, but the elastic muscles on the mermaid’s arm.
It is worth mentioning that the two people’s current posture is very ambiguous.
Xia Nuo rested his head on the mermaid’s arm, and there was a piece of snow-white skin in front of his eyes. The regular breathing of the mermaid brushed over the top of the boy’s hair, and his chest heaved and fell accordingly, and the beating sound of the heart reached Xia Nuo’s ears. Because the distance was so close, he even felt his eardrums trembling slightly.
Never had he been so close to a person before, Xia Nuo’s ears turned red, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
In fact, the mermaid was already awake when Xia Nuo woke up. Looking at the little hair on the boy’s head at this time, she found it very cute no matter how she looked at it. She couldn’t help leaning over and kissing it lightly.
“!!!” The feeling of the wet and soft lips falling on the top of the hair was very obvious. It was already extremely sensitive there. After being kissed by the mermaid, Xia Nuo felt an electric current rushing through his whole body quickly.
“You—what are you doing!” Xia Nuo shuddered and rolled out of the mermaid’s embrace. He couldn’t help rubbing the top of his hair with his fingers, trying to make that strange feeling fade away as soon as possible.
Seeing the young man covering his head vigilantly, guarding against his approach, the mermaid couldn’t help laughing.
He didn’t realize his mistake at all, instead, he said straightforwardly: “It can’t be my fault, who made Chang An so cute, there is no way to hold back.”
Xia Nuo: “…”
He opened his round eyes wide and looked at the mermaid in disbelief. It was the first time he realized that he was so thick-skinned.
Impulsively, he made a move that he felt embarrassed in retrospect.
Xia Nuo pounced on it, curled up his fingers, knocked on the smooth forehead of the mermaid, and said very seriously: “I’m sorry, but I can’t resist the urge to hit Mr. Toya on the forehead. Who makes Mr. Toya look too worthy of a beating.”
After speaking, he quickly got out of bed and ran away.
Of course, it didn’t take long for Xia Nuo to feel regretful. In the bathroom, he looked at himself in the mirror and couldn’t help covering his face: “Why am I so naive?”
But after the mermaid knocked on the door casually and called him to have breakfast, this feeling turned into a touch of envy: If only he could have such a thick skin like Mr. Toya.
When he saw the Duke again, Xia Nuo clearly noticed the change in him. Although it was only a glimpse last night, the lifeless stereotype of the Duke still left a deep impression on him.
And the Duke at this time, no, he should be called tree man, and his body clearly has a kind of vitality that matches his age. Although he doesn’t know what method he used to remove the mark on his face, and his fingers became five like ordinary people, Xia Nuo recognized him at a glance.
The tree man waved away all the servants, and there were only three of them left in the living room.
Xia Nuo don’t know how he replaced the Duke in just one night, and even the closest butler didn’t notice that something was wrong-of course, this may also have something to do with the Duke deliberately keeping a distance from others in order not to reveal his identity.
“I’m here to fulfil my promise.” The tree man’s expression was rather complicated, and he reluctantly took out a pendant with a small light golden square from his neck, and put it in front of the mermaid, “This is the key.”
Although he had imagined breaking the contract countless times before, the tree man gave up the idea when he thought about the true identity of the mermaid.
“In three days, the fruit of the Moonlight Tree will be ripe, and it will be the easiest to get the fruit at that time.” The treant glanced at the young man beside the mermaid, and suddenly smiled slightly, “I don’t need to elaborate on the method of cultivating the seeds, Your Excellency, the all-knowing monster of the abyss.”
“!!!”
Xia Nuo turned to look at the mermaid in surprise but didn’t understand what the tree man meant.
Treants called Mermaids Abyssal Monsters? What does it mean? Isn’t Mr. Toya a mermaid?
He didn’t suspect that it was a mistake in the tree’s mouth. After all, mermaids and abyssal monsters were originally two different species, and they couldn’t be mixed together no matter what. No one would easily confuse them.
“It seems that your lover doesn’t know about this.” Although the tree man’s tone was very respectful, he couldn’t hide the deep malice in his words.
Since he replaced the Duke, he has asked the butler for news about the boy.
Since the tit-for-tat confrontation with the Duchess at the door last night, everyone has become very aware of the young man’s position in the heart of the mermaid.
When the tree man suddenly heard the news, he was a little surprised.
Although it’s not that he hasn’t seen the mermaid’s affectionate attitude towards the boy before, he still feels a little unbelievable when he really knows the relationship between the two.
Heartless monster of the abyss, Can you actually love someone?
He discovered the identity of the mermaid thanks to Xia Nuo’s reminder. Although the boy didn’t know, he knew it very well.
Knowing so many unknown secrets, except for the abyss monster who has been watching the maze all the time, everything that happens in the world cannot escape his eyes, so he doesn’t think about it secondly.
That’s why he was so surprised after knowing the relationship between the two. But looking at the mermaid’s attitude towards the boy, he can tell that it is not a disguise, after all, the love and cherish from the heart cannot be disguised no matter how much it is disguised.
An abyssal monster with a weakness.
The tree man didn’t know what expression to make, but this didn’t prevent him from taking advantage of this weakness to make the monster feel a little unhappy–the tree man is a very vengeful creature!
However, to the treant’s surprise, the mermaid was very calm in the face of the boy’s question.
He stood up, smiled slightly, and completed the transformation from a mermaid to a monster in an instant.
The translucent ear fins and the webbed claws on the palm disappeared. A pair of curved horns appeared on the monster’s head, and huge black wings stretched out from behind. The black feathers fluttered down the air and disappeared quickly when they landed on the ground.
Xia Nuo subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch a fallen feather. The strange thing was that it didn’t dissipate like the others of the same kind, but lay peacefully in the boy’s palm.
“You are Krowrick!” Suddenly, Xia Nuo’s mind flashed the figure of the man who saved his life when he entered the game on the first day.
After the monster took off its disguise, the faces of the mermaid and the monster finally overlapped in Xia Nuo’s mind.
Thinking about it carefully, he seemed to want to get the magic crystal for drawing cards just to sign a contract with the monster, and then found the mermaid, and took the task of helping him find the necklace.
It can be said that Krowrick was the beginning of everything that happened, but tell him now that Krowrick is actually the same person as the mermaid?
This is too ridiculous, right?
Xia Nuo clenched the feather in his hand, not knowing what expression to make.
“Can an unsummoned monster stay in the outside world for so long?” After being stunned for a long time, he actually asked such a question.
The monster who didn’t expect the teenager to react like this laughed dumbly: “Of course, other monsters are not allowed, but I am an exception.”
“I’m sorry for cheating you, Chang An.” The monster’s eyelids drooped, and under the cover of thick eyelashes, a gleam of brilliance leaked from the same magical eyes as before, “You have been thinking for too long, I can’t help but want to come to you for an answer.”
“…” Xia Nuo was not fooled by his excuses, “If you want to answer, just ask me directly, why did you turn into a mermaid to lie to me?”
“Alas—” the monster sighed a long time, and said with some melancholy, “Please understand me, a monster who has been waiting for thousands of years and finally got the master he wanted.”
“I did this because I couldn’t control my desire to get close to you.”
Xia Nuo: “…”
Always feel something is wrong…
But seeing the man’s melancholy appearance, even though he knew that he might be pretending to gain sympathy, Xia Nuo couldn’t help but soften his heart.
The tree man was stunned. He saw that the young man was really deceived by the monster pretending to be pitiful. He opened his mouth and was about to say something but he got a threatening stare from the monster, so he reluctantly closed his mouth.
Seeing the young man’s attitude loosen, the monster took a step forward and whispered in the young man’s ear: “Let’s Leave this place first, I know everything you want to ask me, and I will tell you everything.”
“Leave?” Xia Nuo repeated subconsciously and then felt a strong arm around his waist.
The demon vibrated its wings and soared into the sky, hugged the boy and flew out of the window of the reception room.
Before leaving, he glanced at the tree man who was still sitting on the chair in the reception room out of the corner of his eye, and slightly raised the corners of his lips.
“!!!” The tree man was shocked, and then saw the monster’s lips open and close, and made a mouth shape at him: merits and demerits.
The tree man was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he seemed to understand something and slapped the table hard.
It turned out that he had already planned this!
Using the identity of others, it is naturally impossible for monsters to deceive the boy for a lifetime.
But how to reveal this truth can also be divided into many situations.
The worst case is that the teenager finds out by himself. In this case, the person concerned feels cheated the most, and the difficulty for the monster to be forgiven will be greatly increased.
Secondly, the monster said it by itself, but it also needs to find an appropriate time so that it will not appear abrupt.
The best way is to be exposed by others, especially if this other person does not have good intentions, the monster will take the opportunity to sell a wave of misfortune and perform a performance of ‘I have deep difficulties’ – this way the young man’s attention will be diverted to other places, the anger value will be greatly reduced, and it will naturally become much easier to get forgiven.
And he himself played the role of the ‘not very well-intentioned’ bystander in this matter, uncovering the truth for the monster, so he said that the merits and demerits are equal.
As for the merit, it is because he uncovered the truth for him; as for the fault, it is because he did it out of malice.
Thinking that the monster had predicted everything after realizing his identity, the tree man felt a little bad.
But it didn’t take long for him to turn his anger into joy, and he laughed.
So what if he is used? The monster’s calculations are so thorough, isn’t it because he cares too much about that boy?
One thing falls one thing, once it has a weakness, the monster will not be as strong as before.
Xia Nuo was hugged by the monster, and could only hear the whistling wind around him. The light and dark changes in the sky, as if passing through many spaces.
It didn’t take long for Xia Nuo to feel a dimness before his eyes, and when he came back to his senses, he had already appeared in a room. The surrounding furnishings were so familiar, exactly the same as his house on Knock Street.
Just as he was about to say something, he saw the monster in front of him shrink visibly to the naked eye, and finally became the size of a palm, and the words he wanted to say were immediately stuck in his throat.
When Xia Nuo woke up the next day, he saw the chest of the mermaid close at hand.
The memory before going to sleep last night quickly came back, Xia Nuo couldn’t help but be dazed for a while, and then he felt that the thing under his neck was not a soft pillow, but the elastic muscles on the mermaid’s arm.
