The situation in front of him is so shocking, as if it can only appear in myths and idiots' dreams.
Lovett's pupils tightened, and he felt as if his heart had been hit hard, and at that moment he even forgot how to breathe - the feeling was almost panic.
He has no chance to think, the limbs have already acted before the brain.
Lovett stretched out his hand and pulled the coat that he had just thrown aside, and raised it vigorously, the black coat fell like a huge open wing, covering the snow-white skin instantly, and the slender soles of the feet also shrank upwards instantly. , curled up, and was tightly covered under the clothes, without revealing the slightest gap, blocking everyone's eyes.
He glanced coldly at the other people who were stunned in front of him, with terrifying violence surging in his eyes, and a deep darkness was brewing in the depths of his pupils.
- They should have their eyes gouged out.
The others woke up from the lack of attention just now, and hurriedly lowered their heads deeply and tremblingly.
Ghosh quickly sensed Rowett's thoughts, and he frowned.
- This can't be done.
These people are the top experts in the field of mermaid research in the entire empire. If they die, it is difficult to find a replacement.
And he's counting on those people to figure out what happened to him.
Ge Xiu raised his head, looked at Lovett's chiseled chin, raised his hand and poked his arm in front of him, and said:
"I'm hungry."
The texture of the mermaid's voice is cold, like broken ice floating in the deep ocean currents, but at the moment it is a bit more hoarse and lazy, adding a bit of sultry glutinous meaning.
Lovett's throat moved, and he looked down at his arms.
I saw that the mermaid transformed into a human shape was looking up at herself, her blue-purple eyes were misty, and she looked a bit wronged.
Lovett suddenly remembered that the mermaid hadn't stuck his head out from the bottom of the pool since he left yesterday.
The killing intent and anger in his eyes dissipated, his eyes swept over the untouched food by the pool all day, and looked down at the mermaid lying in his arms with pity: "What do you want to eat?"
Gossiu yawned:
"It's okay..."
He smacked his lips and added, "I want sugar, strawberry flavored."
"Yes." Lovett hooked his lips: "But you can eat it after dinner."
All the people were stunned by the scene in front of them, and they could hardly believe their eyes-they had never seen His Majesty the emperor who was violent and bloodthirsty before... How could he have such a... tender side-and, this is probably the first time , he could actually change his mind for any other existence.
They all knew that thanks to the mermaid in front of them, their lives could be saved.
Rowett picked up the mermaid horizontally, the coat still tightly covered him, and the mermaid's light weight was like a feather to him.
He took a step towards the outside of the glass room.
When he was about to leave, Lovett seemed to finally remember the others. He stopped, turned his head and glanced coldly at the group of people who were silent, and then reluctantly spit out two words with great compassion:
"get out."
After saying that, the emperor walked out without hesitation.
Those who stayed in the glass room seemed to have been granted amnesty. They seemed to have experienced a death catastrophe, and fell to the ground limply, unable to get up for a long time.
·
The cold moonlit night in the glass room was transformed into a huge palace.
His Majesty's order has already been conveyed, and the urgently prepared delicacies are already waiting on the table at this moment. Under the bright lights, the hues are excellent, and they are fully placed not far away, making them dazzling.
Lovett placed Gosho on the soft couch and wrapped Gosho with the huge bath towel given by the attendant.
Although his hair was half-dry and his dark hair hung loosely in front of his eyes, his clothes were still wet.
Under the light from above his head, he lowered his eyes, his dark eyes hidden in the shadows cast by his eyebrows, making him appear more and more abyss, with a hint of fiery danger.
Lovett raised his hand to wipe off a drop of water dripping from the mermaid's cheek, and his eyes became darker due to the smooth touch under his finger.
His voice was a little hoarse:
"I'm going to take a shower."
Rowett glanced at the food on the table and added: "If there is anything unsatisfactory, let them redo it."
After speaking, he adjusted his sleeves, turned and strode out.
The feeling of drowsiness and heaviness in the past has disappeared a lot. Ge Xiu rubbed his eyes, sat up, and took off the jacket that covered him and glanced inward—
Well, it's definitely bright.
Ge Xiu touched his nose and felt a little emotional for a while - if it was the previous world, he could directly use the dark elements to make a set for himself, but now it has been replaced by this world without magic, no matter what it is, it is a little inconvenient.
He tentatively put his suddenly regained feet on the ground, and stood up, leaning on the table.
His lower body, which had long been used to swimming in the water, suddenly softened, and his legs seemed to be out of control. If Ge Xiu had not had a hunch, he would have fallen to the ground in embarrassment.
He took a slow deep breath, and after he got used to it a little, he slowly stood up straight.
That feeling of finally getting down to earth is so nostalgic.
—But it was only a few seconds before his legs began to tremble again.
Ge Xiu didn't waste any more time, he let go of his hand holding the table, shook off the coat that had been covering him since just now, and draped it over his body, the long hem of the coat drooped down. , just covering his thighs.
Although there is still a little bit of clothing, but at least the key parts are covered tightly.
Ge Xiu buttoned the button and sat back to the seat just now, he rolled up his cuffs that were too long, and then officially started—
He was indeed hungry.
This calamity is too much physical exertion on him, and since he may be changing his teeth before, he hadn't eaten much, so now he is hungry and his chest is on his belly.
Wait... tooth replacement
Ge Xiu suddenly remembered this, he swallowed the food in his mouth, and tentatively licked the place where his teeth fell out.
fully grown...
The other teeth also seemed to have been completely replaced once, and the licking sensation was completely different from before.
Ge Xiu looked at the silver knife in his hand inexplicably, slowly put the knife into his mouth, bit it with his teeth, and tentatively exerted force—
"Crack"
Knife broke.
Ge Xiu spat out the half blade in his mouth and observed its cut surface - the cut surface was very smooth, as if it had been cut directly by a sharp machine.
He dropped the knife and stretched out his hands—all his fingernails were in place, pink and smooth, like tiny seashells, but Gossiu knew very well that something was different.
He stroked the skin of his other hand with his index finger, and the skin on which several needles were broken was easily cut into a small incision, and scarlet blood gushed out from it, slowly along the skin The texture curves meander down.
Ge Xiu licked his wound and rolled the blood oozing from the wound into his mouth.
The faint rust smell seemed to carry the salty smell of sea water, spreading in the mouth.
He narrowed his eyes and stared thoughtfully at his hand lying flat on the table, as if he was thinking silently about something.
A question gradually became clear.
In this world... is he really a mermaid
According to the information found on the Internet, mermaids are beautiful in appearance, gentle and docile in temperament, and their aggression is very low. In human society, they are more similar to ornamental treasured fish, rather than predators galloping in the ocean. But the changes in his body now—whether it's teeth sharp enough to bite through metal, sharp nails, thick and impenetrable skin, all run counter to the habit of merman.
When Ge Xiu first came to this world, he could really feel the weakness of his limbs, including when he bit the grand duke's throat, if it wasn't for his familiarity with the human body structure, plus the fact that in the previous world there were With the experience of biting the neck, I am afraid it is not so easy to kill with one blow.
And according to Ge Xiu's knowledge of the jury, they probably wouldn't give him such a strong racial identity so easily.
Letting yourself become a beautiful but fragile mermaid at the mercy of others is the most logical option.
So what exactly is going on
"Gululu..." Ge Xiu's stomach rumbling unwillingly, his hunger has been transformed into a sharp tingling, and he was clamoring for food.
He pressed his already empty stomach, recovered from the thoughts just now, picked up a brand-new knife and fork, and began to eat at the fastest speed.
After all, the most important thing right now is to fill your stomach.
·
When Rowett returned to the room again, Ge Xiu had finished his dinner and was resting on the armrest. His long blue-purple hair was basically dry after wiping, and his eyes were slightly squinted, as if he was full. A cat that exposes its belly to the sun.
In an instant, he felt that his heart was lightly scratched by a feather, a little itchy and a little irritable.
Lovett still maintained a calm expression on his face, and walked in the direction of Ge Xiu.
When Ge Xiu saw him coming, his eyes suddenly lit up. He got up and walked in the direction of Lovett. He didn't seem to be very used to walking on land. He looked like he was about to fall to the ground in the next second.
He was wearing a one-size-up coat, with overly wide shoulders hanging loosely, his open collar revealing a large piece of soft white skin, and under the long hem there were two bare, thin white legs, slightly crooked. Walking on the ground, he looked unskilled.
A realization struck suddenly, and Rowett suddenly realized—
Under the clothes that belonged to him... the other party was not wearing anything.
Rowett's eyes darkened, he quickened his pace, and very timely let the mermaid who hadn't adapted to the way of walking fall into his arms.
The young man raised his head in his arms, his face so beautiful that it was almost impossible to look away from it in the light, his eyes were sparkling, as if there were hidden expectations.
Lovett's throat was surging and his voice was hoarse, as if he was suppressing some uncontrollable impulse:
"… how?"
Ge Xiu blinked: "Where's the sugar?"
He raised his eyebrows dissatisfiedly: "You said there was strawberry candy after dinner."
