What collapsed earlier than the world was Gu Minghuai’s worldview.
How would you feel if, after being a staunch materialist for twenty-eight years, you woke up and saw a mermaid lying on top of you
This sounds like a fantasy fairy tale, but seeing this scene in reality is simply a horror story.
Gu Minghuai sat up suddenly, and Rongyu, who was lying on him, slipped down unexpectedly and hit his head on the hard edge of the swimming pool.
“Hiss—” Rong Yu was immediately awakened by the pain, opened his eyes and shouted angrily, “Drag him out and behead him!”
He was dreaming of the days of singing and dancing in the palace. Before his favorite drunken wine even entered his throat, he was awakened by the pain.
If this had happened in the past, anyone who dared to disturb the Demon King's sleep would have no chance of escaping alive.
He woke up in a rage.
Rongyu was very angry, but her tone of voice when she just woke up in the morning was still lazy. The carp spirit's voice was soft and pleasant, and sounded like coquettishness.
Gu Minghuai looked at him: "Who do you want to kill?"
Rong Yu: “…”
He was also completely awake.
A row of crows flew across the sky.
Rong Yu looked down at his lower body and touched the fish fin on his ear.
He washed his face with pool water and looked carefully.
The tail is still there, and the fins are still there.
Okay, transformation failed.
Rong Yu calmly accepted the reality: "No, I was just dreaming."
Gu Minghuai said slowly: "I also feel like I'm dreaming."
Rong Yu said: "It's an illusion, you are not dreaming."
The young man has a handsome face, sparkling eyes, half naked, long hair spread on the water, and his aura is like a water spirit, performing a vivid and colorful wet body temptation.
Gu Minghuai stared at him for a moment and turned his head away: "Let me calm down."
Rong Yu patiently waited for him to digest it for a minute: "Are you ready to calm down?"
Gu Minghuai said he was not well yet, and tried to remain calm, "Get off me first."
How could he stay calm with such a big tail on his legs
Her expression and eyes moved, and she climbed up softly and hugged Gu Minghuai's neck, making people blush and their heart beat fast with her breath.
He did the most alluring thing and said in the most righteous tone: "No, let me hold you for a while longer."
Why hasn't the legs appeared after a whole night? It must be because the time is not enough. I need to hug him more.
The beautiful mermaid took the initiative to throw herself into his arms. Gu Minghuai's whole body stiffened, feeling the young man's coquettish words echoing in his ears.
"Xiao Yu'er." Gu Minghuai turned his head to avoid his gaze and blinked more frequently, a sign of panic. "There is a saying among humans that men should not touch each other."
He suspected that the effect of the drug had not yet worn off, otherwise why would his heart beat faster just because of a hug.
—Nonsense, who among normal people wouldn’t have their heart beat faster when seeing a carp turning into a human
Rongyu raised her eyes and looked at him: "You came up with this saying yourself." He had only heard that men and women should not have physical contact.
What's wrong with two grown men hugging each other for a while? If it wasn't for the purpose of turning into a human being quickly, he wouldn't be happy about it.
Gu Minghuai asked stiffly: "Then how long are you going to hold me?"
Rong Yu said, "I don't know." How could he know when he would have two legs again
"I can't stand up." Rong Yu added.
So that's how it is. Gu Minghuai felt relieved: "You can stay in the water."
Rong Yu hugged him tightly and said, "I feel more comfortable in your arms."
This is the truth, the feeling of being nourished by spiritual energy is wonderful.
Gu Minghuai was stuck for a moment and was speechless.
"Can you turn it into a pair of legs?" Gu Minghuai's eyes fell on the gorgeous fish tail, "If someone sees it like this... it will be very troublesome."
Rong Yu: “Not for now.”
Gu Minghuai: "Then change back?"
Rong Yu tried: "No, I can't change back."
His current physical state is completely out of his control, and the transformation is passive. He doesn't know when he will be able to become complete, nor when he will change back.
Things are getting a little tricky.
Gu Minghuai took a deep breath, reached for the cell phone in his coat pocket on the shore, and gave the servants in the Gu family a few days off.
Rongyu must not be seen in this state by anyone else.
Rongyu watched him finish the call in a calm voice, as calm as ever, as if he would not change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
As soon as he hung up, he looked like he had a headache.
Gu Minghuai rubbed his temple: "Get off me for now, I'm going to change my clothes first."
It wasn't a good feeling to soak in cold water all night and get frightened early in the morning.
Upon hearing this, Rong Yu hugged him tightly, expressing her rejection with her actions.
No one can separate him from the spiritual energy.
Gu Minghuai was helpless against the mermaid who relied on him so much, and said helplessly: "Be obedient."
Rong Yu Renxing said, "I don't want to listen."
Gu Minghuai subconsciously threatened again: "Be careful or I'll make you into a braised dish—"
"You can eat this." Rong Yu raised his eyebrow, "Why? You keep the upper body and eat the lower body until it becomes fish bones?"
Gu Minghuai: “…”
He imagined it and found the scene so beautiful that he felt like vomiting.
Moreover, such a big fish is almost lethal to him who is allergic. He will die if he eats it.
There was no point in staying in the water any longer.
Gu Minghuai picked up Rong Yu horizontally. The moment it came out of the water, the entire tail of the fish floated out of the water, the scales shone brightly in the sun, and water droplets flowed down the tail. The long-haired mermaid youth climbed the man's neck, lowered his eyes, and his profile was beautiful. The scene was extremely stunning, and with a romantic background music, it could become a classic scene in film and television -
Gu Minghuai stumbled and almost lost his hold on the body, falling back into the water.
Rong Yu was so scared that she quickly hugged his neck: "Be careful!" It's okay if Gu Minghuai falls, but don't let him get hurt.
Fortunately, Gu Minghuai stood firm in time and did not fall back in embarrassment.
Rong Yu breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "You are too weak..." Are all mortals so weak
Gu Minghuai pulled his lip: "I asked you to lose weight, but you gained a hundred pounds overnight and still complained that I was not strong enough."
I don't mind you being dirty.
Of course, Gu Minghuai tactfully didn't say this out loud.
Who would have thought a fish tail was so heavy.
Gu Minghuai had a strong aversion to the slippery fish scales, and such a large scale almost killed him on the spot.
It was good enough that he could resist the instinct of rejection and hug Rongyu.
Gu Minghuai strode ashore and restrained himself from looking down, for fear that he would drop the mermaid in his arms once he saw the large scales.
For the first time, Rong Yu felt that the land was so wonderful—he really didn't want to soak in the water anymore.
His true nature is fire, so staying in the water is not uncomfortable, but it is definitely not comfortable either.
This time he did not experience any difficulty breathing after leaving the water. He now had a nose and was no longer a red carp that could only breathe through gills.
Blood Jade Bracelet: The status progress bar has been opened, please check it carefully.
Two progress bars appeared in Rongyu's mind, one blue and one red. The blue indicator was at 100% and the red one was at 60%.
Blood Jade Bracelet: Blue represents water. Carp spirits cannot stay out of water for too long and need to replenish water from time to time to maintain their human form. Above 50%, they are in a safe state and can maintain their human form. Below 50%, they are in a state of lack of water and will turn into a mermaid and need to replenish water. Below 20%, they will return to their original form. When it returns to zero, they will dry up and die, the soul lamp will go out, and the mission will fail. Please remember to replenish water at any time. The host's current water source value is 100%.
Rongyu had been in the water for so long that he was now well hydrated. But when he thought about having to deal with water from time to time in this world, he felt suffocated.
Fire and water cannot coexist, and this world is definitely here to mess with him.
Blood Jade Bracelet continued to explain: Red represents spiritual energy. If the spiritual energy value is higher than 80%, it can maintain the human form, higher than 50%, it can maintain the mermaid form, and lower than 50%, it will return to the carp form. The host's current spiritual energy value is 60%. The water source value and the spiritual energy value must meet the standard at the same time to transform into a human form, please keep up the good work.
Rong Yu pondered, after so much effort, his spiritual energy value was only 60%.
This means that he cannot leave Gu Minghuai for a moment, otherwise he may return to his original form at any time.
Gu Minghuai's jawline was tense, and he pursed his lips as he carried Rong Yu to the third floor and went straight to the bedroom.
He kicked the bathroom door open, slammed it shut with his back, put Rongyu into the bathtub like she was throwing away a hot potato, and turned on the faucet to fill the bathtub with water.
Gu Minghuai took a clean towel from the towel rack: "Can you take a bath by yourself?"
Rong Yu said: "No."
Actually, yes, but that would mean I would have fewer opportunities to interact with Gu Minghuai.
Opportunities have to be created by yourself.
Gu Minghuai frowned and prepared to wipe Rongyu's body and hair, even though they were wet.
The wet shirt stuck to his body and was uncomfortable, so Gu Minghuai simply took off his shirt, revealing his figure that looked thin when dressed and muscular when undressed.
Rong Yu clicked his tongue and said, "Eight pack abdominal muscles."
He lay in the bathtub with his head resting on the edge and his long hair hanging on the smooth tile floor.
Gu Minghuai took a quick glance and estimated that it was at least up to the waist.
"Is it okay to cut your hair?"
This length made his eyes go dark when he washed it.
He was afraid that the hair was actually transformed from a part of a carp, and Rongyu would die if it was cut.
Rong Yu said, "It's okay."
Anyway, this body is not Chi Yu's real body, it is just a copy generated by the system. He can do whatever he wants with it.
It takes at least several hundred years for a demon to cultivate into a spirit. Chi Yu is an ancient fish, so he has waist-length hair just to adapt to local customs, which is not necessary in modern society.
Gu Minghuai got the confirmation, picked up the scissors neatly, and with a click, the long hair fell to the ground. He moved a small stool to sit down, poured some shampoo on his hands, and scrubbed Rongyu's hair.
He had never served anyone in his life, so his movements were not very skilled, but the pressure was very comfortable, and the feeling of the spiritual energy from his fingertips constantly flowing into the scalp was even more amazing. Rong Yu closed his eyes and enjoyed the service, and wanted to give a five-star rating.
Gu Minghuai found it strange and absurd.
It's magical realism.
He was actually washing the hair and bathing a carp spirit.
Rong Yu refused to stay in the swimming pool. He couldn't be left dripping with water everywhere. The servants were on holiday and no one was cleaning. The water on the floor would drive Gu Minghuai, a mysophobe, crazy.
In order to prevent himself from going crazy, he could only patiently wash Rongyu's hair and body.
Gu Minghuai washed Rong Yu's hair, asked him to sit up, and blew his hair with a hair dryer.
As soon as the hair dryer was turned on, Rong Yu immediately opened his eyes alertly: "What is this?"
Although he had been to many worlds before, he had only been there for a quick visit, mainly because he was busy dealing with the Lord God. Rong Yu did not fully understand these new things.
He used to have magical powers, and could handle everything with a cleaning spell, so why would he need this kind of thing
Gu Minghuai explained: "This is a hair dryer. It's used for hair. It can make your hair dry faster."
The tense lines in his face finally relaxed.
When his hair was half dry, Gu Minghuai wiped the water off his upper body.
Gu Minghuai held the towel and wiped Rongyu's body. He straightened his chest when asked and raised his hands when asked. He was very well-behaved.
—Of course I was good. After taking such a bath, my spiritual energy value increased by 5%.
Rong Yu discovered that the more private and intimate the contact, the faster the spiritual energy value increased.
He also discovered that Gu Minghuai seemed to have no memory.
Obviously, whether it is the action trajectory that does not match the original world line or the abundant spiritual energy that does not exist in this world, it shows that Gu Minghuai is not a native of this world. But if he is a time traveler, who has seen the strangeness of the world, how can he be shocked by the existence of fairies.
The shock in Gu Minghuai's eyes when he woke up and saw him today did not seem fake. It was exactly the look of an ordinary person when he saw something beyond his cognition.
It is intriguing that an extraordinary person, for some reason, becomes an ordinary person and lives here.
Rong Yu: Could it be that he was also captured by the Space-Time Administration, had his memory erased and was thrown into a small world as punishment
Blood Jade Bracelet: Guess.
It has learned its lesson and will not let the big devil rule out any options.
Rong Yu: I guess not.
Blood Jade Bracelet: I won’t tell you whether you guess right or wrong.
Rong Yu asked in surprise: Have you recharged your IQ
Blood Jade Bracelet: Haha.
Don't want to pay attention to him.
The young man had a snow-white back and long arms. Gu Minghuai wiped them all the way without leaving any stain.
If we ignore the fish tail sinking under the water, the way they get along is no different from that of an ordinary old couple.
When he wiped his chest, Gu Minghuai asked, "Do you have a name?"
Rong Yu raised his eyelids and said, "Chi Yu."
"Fish in the pond?" Gu Minghuai thought for a moment, "That's simple and straightforward. I'll still call you Little Fish from now on."
Rongyu didn't correct which fish it was.
Anyway, it’s neither of them, it’s called “yu”, pronounced three times.
Gu Minghuai wiped Rongyu's waist, and the rest of her body was buried in the water and could not be seen.
Gu Minghuai didn't know how to deal with that part and tried to avoid it.
"I was drunk last night." Gu Minghuai made small talk, "I don't think I did anything to you, right?"
Rong Yu lifted his bright red tail from the water: "What do you think you can do to me?"
I don’t even have legs, so I can’t find the entrance no matter what I want to do.
Gu Minghuai: "… just pretend I didn't say anything."
Rongyu let his tail fall back, splashing water all over Gu Minghuai's face.
The corner of Gu Minghuai's mouth twitched and he immediately closed his eyes to prevent the water from entering his eyes.
He suddenly remembered that when Rong Yu was still a carp, he also loved to flap his tail and splash water all over him.
Then he would lift the carp out of the water by its tail to teach it a lesson.
Now... Gu Minghuai glanced at the mermaid who was almost as tall as him.
I can't lift it with one hand.
Now Xiaoyuer can only be carried like a princess.
Gu Minghuai's mind was full of random thoughts, and his hands were also chaotic. He wiped it a few times and finished. He drained the water in the bathtub and didn't know where to start with Rongyu's fishtail.
No matter how beautiful the glittering fish scales were, he could only feel his scalp tingling just by looking at them.
Rong Yu did not embarrass him: "I can do it myself."
Gu Minghuai: "Don't you know how to wipe yourself?"
Yong Yu: “I remember it after reading it once.”
Gu Minghuai: "I thought fish only had a memory of seven seconds."
Rong Yu stretched out his tail: "Then I didn't remember it, you come."
Gu Minghuai decisively threw the towel to him.
Rong Yu snorted, wiped the water off his tail, sat in the bathtub and opened his arms: "Hold me."
Gu Minghuai glanced at the fish's tail, then looked away, unable to bear the sight: "Can you climb out by yourself?"
Rong Yu: "Are you speaking human language?"
Gu Minghuai had no choice but to bend down, pick up Rong Yu and put him on the bed, then took out a shirt from the closet and put it on him. Finally, he turned on the TV with the remote control: "You watch TV here for a while, I'll go take a shower too."
Rong Yu: “Oh.”
Gu Minghuai immediately closed the bathroom door again.
He felt so dirty all over and needed a grand baptism.
This shower was particularly long, as long as I finished watching three episodes of a TV series, and the sound of the shower in the bathroom never stopped.
Rong Yu chatted with Xue Yu Bracelet while watching TV: "His water bill must be very expensive."
With such a germaphobic household owner, and now another carp spirit that needs to be replenished with water from time to time, the water bill will not be good.
Blood Jade Bracelet: It’s okay, he has money.
During the two hours that Rong Yu stayed in bed, his water value dropped by 1% and is now stable at 99%. His spiritual energy value…
The spiritual energy value dropped to 51%.
Rong Yu was shocked: "Is the spiritual energy consumed so quickly?"
At this rate of falling, it wouldn't be long before he turned back into a fish.
Blood Jade Bracelet: Maintaining the mermaid form consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and the human form consumes even more. Host, please note that if you are not in the water when you transform back into the carp form, the water source value will drop rapidly, which is life-threatening.
Only when in carp form, the accumulated spiritual energy will not decrease. After the spiritual energy value reaches the upper limit of 100%, it can no longer be stored. Therefore, Rongyu must regularly absorb spiritual energy from Gu Minghuai. It is best for the two of them not to separate, which is safer.
In short, the binding is locked.
Seeing that the spiritual energy value was about to drop below 50%, the bathroom door still did not open. Rong Yu was not interested in watching TV anymore, and kept turning his head, staring at the door eagerly: "Why hasn't he finished taking a shower yet? Does it take so long to take a shower?"
If it wasn't for the inconvenience of walking with a fish tail, he wouldn't care whether Gu Minghuai was taking a shower or not. He would have just rushed in and hugged him to absorb some spiritual energy.
If he doesn't come out, he'll turn into a fish again!
Blood jade bracelet: Not needed.
Rong Yu didn't believe it: "But he has been bathing for an hour. In this world's time unit, it's a full two hours."
Blood Jade Bracelet: He is washing it for the seventh time.
Rong Yu: “…”
My reputation as a clean freak is well-deserved.
Fortunately, when the spiritual energy value was fixed at 50%, the bathroom door opened.
Gu Minghuai took a two-hour shower and finally calmed himself down. He changed into his pajamas, took a deep breath, opened the door with one hand, and raised his other hand: "Let's talk—"
A figure rushed over directly.
"There's nothing to talk about!" Rong Yu couldn't wait to put her arms around his waist, "Let me hug you."
Gu Minghuai's raised hand stopped in mid-air.
