What does it mean
Before Xia Nuo closed his eyes, he still couldn't help thinking about this question in his mind.
Could it be... She likes me? This idea suddenly crossed his mind.
Thinking about it carefully, Miss Mermaid's attitude towards him is indeed worth pondering.
After all, she is a mermaid who is considered "arrogant by nature" and "bad-tempered" by everyone, but he didn't feel this at all during this visit. Miss Mermaid laughed at Yan Yan, and she didn't look like a bad-tempered person at all.
Moreover, she didn't seem to like the gift he sent very much. The bottle of beauty potion was placed by the pool by her, and it didn't attract much attention, so it wasn't the gift that played a role.
So... because Miss Mermaid is a face control
Xia Nuo suddenly remembered the little girl's evaluation of her before, and for some reason, the four characters "betraying her luster" reappeared in his mind.
He thought about it, and gradually fell asleep. I don't know if it was because he thought too much before going to bed, he had a particularly absurd dream.
In the dream, the mermaid lady stood in front of him and softly called his name.
"Chang'an."
Xia Nuo didn't answer, he looked at the mermaid lady in front of him, and a deep sense of disobedience welled up in his heart.
He intuited that there was something wrong with Miss Mermaid.
... Where exactly is it
I don't know why, but his thinking is very slow at this time. After thinking for a long time, he finally found the answer.
——"Miss Toya, why did you cut your hair short?"
The seaweed-like long hair of Miss Mermaid disappeared, replaced by a neat short hair, which looks full of heroism.
Without the cover of her long hair, her flat chest immediately caught Xia Nuo's attention.
Although it's not very good to comment on a girl like this, but seeing the scene in front of him, his most straightforward thought was - this chest... looks like a man.
"Chang'an?"
As if to get Xia Nuo's attention, Miss Mermaid called his name again, Xia Nuo raised his head in response, and found something wrong again.
Miss Mermaid's neck, which had always been covered by her collar, was now exposed to him, and her Adam's apple, which could not be ignored, was clearly showing her presence.
"Chang'an." Miss Mermaid's voice also changed, the originally neutral voice suddenly became deep and magnetic - it was completely a man's voice.
She—no, it should be said that he said the words of confession with an extremely serious expression: "I like you, Chang'an."
Xia Nuo was startled, and took a step back subconsciously, but the mermaid's movements were faster than him, grabbing his arm and pushing him closer.
"Want to escape?" Although she was still smiling, the mermaid exuded a dangerous aura.
Xia Nuo keenly sensed the danger, but there was nowhere to run.
At some point behind him, a wall appeared. The mermaid cornered him and looked down at him, watching him tremble like a small animal.
"What about your answer, Chang'an?"
…
"Ah—" Xia Nuo sat up suddenly, the quilt slipped down to his waist, he looked around blankly, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief when he didn't see the mermaid.
It turned out to be a dream...
With his heart still beating wildly in his chest, Xia Nuo stroked his hair and murmured, "What a mess."
Does this count as thinking by day and dreaming at night
Frightened in the dream, his spirit was unavoidably depressed. After being spotted by the little girl, he took the initiative to explain: "I had a nightmare last night."
At this moment, they were waiting in the dining room to have breakfast. As soon as his words fell, the radiant Miss Mermaid appeared at the door: "I had a sweet dream."
There was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and she looked very happy.
Very good, still long hair.
Xia Nuo thought about it, and involuntarily looked at her neck and chest.
Finding nothing unusual, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After having that dream last night, Xia Nuo realized that he was afraid to look directly at Miss Mermaid's face.
After eating breakfast without taste, the carriage had already stopped in front of the door.
Pulling the cart are two black horses with wings. This time they are going to another dimension, and the journey is quite far away. Xixi originally planned to go with them, but before leaving, she received a letter.
"I have something urgent to deal with." The little girl finished reading the letter and folded the letter paper in her hand. Although she said so, there was no worry on her face.
"Can I help?" A small staircase has been set up next to the carriage, Xia Nuo is about to step up the stairs, he turned around and asked.
"I can handle it myself." The little girl calmly rejected his offer, and she waved her hand, motioning for Xia Nuo to lean over.
Xia Nuo complied with a puzzled face, and then the little girl stuck to his ear, whispering: "Little brother, I have warned you in advance—mermaids will be very proactive when hunting their favorite prey." , and use everything to the extreme—you have to be careful."
"Goodbye and good luck!"
Before Xia Nuo could react, the little girl waved at him, turned and ran away with a bright smile.
Shano: "..."
I always feel... He seems to have heard something incredible
"Chang'an?" Until Miss Mermaid's slightly puzzled voice sounded, "Why don't you come up?"
Only then did he realize that Miss Mermaid had already stepped onto the carriage ahead of him. When she said this, she tilted her head slightly, and she looked a little cute.
"It's nothing..." Xia Nuo shook his head, "I was thinking about what Xixi reminded me before leaving."
When I said this, it actually carried a bit of a tentative meaning.
"Is that so?" Miss Mermaid said with frowned eyebrows.
She didn't ask the little girl what reminded him, the translucent ear fins vibrated slightly, reflecting a dazzling light under the light.
The mermaid's hearing... is also very sensitive.
The two of them sat in the carriage, the body bumped slightly, and the two Pegasus began to gallop.
The space in the carriage was very spacious, Xia Nuo and Miss Mermaid sat face to face, not knowing what to say.
The tail of the mermaid is placed beside him. The beautiful and slender silver tail occupies most of the space in the car, and it is only a dozen centimeters away from Xia Nuo. Looking at the fine scales shining on it, he short-circuited his head and blurted out. : "How long is Miss Toya's tail?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Xia Nuo felt a little inappropriate. Isn't this equivalent to asking a girl how long her legs are? It is too presumptuous to ask such a question suddenly.
He just wanted to apologize, but unexpectedly the mermaid didn't care, and replied directly: "It's about 1.5 meters."
Xia Nuo subconsciously calculated in her heart, so including the fish tail, the total height of Miss Mermaid is 2.4 meters
He glanced at it briefly before, and found that the mermaid's figure was in line with the golden ratio, but because part of her fish tail was bent behind her when she was standing, it seemed to be only about two meters one.
After finishing the calculation, Xia Nuo recalled his height, and there was only one thought in his head.
——A man is not as good as a fish.
Although he doesn't think he's short, compared to Miss Mermaid... Forget it, it's still nothing.
Why beat yourself up? How can two different species be compared
He was comforting himself silently in his heart when he suddenly felt that his hand seemed to touch something.
It is cold and creamy, with well-defined protrusions, like ivory texture...
Huh? Xia Nuo lowered his head in amazement, looked at the fish tail with silver scales under his hand, and was stunned.
"Sorry!" His first reaction was to move his hand away, but Miss Mermaid moved faster than him.
She pressed Xia Nuo's hand: "You seem to have been paying attention to my tail, dear Chang'an?"
"I, I didn't do it on purpose..." Xia Nuo argued weakly.
He couldn't figure it out, he just wandered away for a while, why did his hand suddenly touch the mermaid's tail? He clearly remembered that there was still a distance between the mermaid's tail and his hand.
"I can swear I didn't have any bad intentions for your tail!"
Xia Nuo's hand was caught between the fishtail and the mermaid's palm, in order to prove his words, he tried hard to pull it out—but failed.
The mermaid girl chuckled, she let go of the palm that was holding him down for a moment, and then took the boy's hand in her palm: "Really?"
"Really!" Xia Nuo nodded vigorously, even though the mermaid rubbed his hand back and forth, he didn't dare to resist.
——Because he was so unreasonable!
Unexpectedly, the mermaid frowned upon hearing this: "What do you mean... do you mean that my tail is not beautiful or attractive?"
Shano: "..."
How should he answer this? This is simply a proposition!
The mermaid just pretended to be angry, she smiled and looked at the boy's embarrassed appearance, and she already sighed a lot of cuteness in her heart.
After hesitating for a long time, Xia Nuo said bravely, "No...Miss Toya's tail is very beautiful...very attractive."
This is not a lie, no matter from which angle you look at it, the mermaid's tail is very beautiful, whether it is the precisely arranged silver scales, or the transparent tail fin supported by multiple ivory long bones, it is like a perfectly carved Artwork, there is nothing that is not exquisite.
After he finished speaking intermittently, his eyes unconsciously showed a look of pleading.
Let me go, his whole body is desperately sending this signal to the mermaid, his pitiful appearance almost melts people's hearts.
Miss Mermaid obviously can't resist this cute light wave, but she won't give up teasing the little cutie so easily.
She changed the subject and said, "In that case, you can touch it more, I don't mind at all."
Xia Nuo froze for a moment, then quickly shook his head after realizing the reaction: "No, no, let's forget it..."
Miss Mermaid selectively ignored his refusal, put Xia Nuo's hand on her tail, and pressed his hand all the way down from the sensitive waist to the translucent tail fin.
She nonchalantly introduced which part with how much strength would make her feel comfortable—as if the young man’s tail is not her tail at all, but some insignificant model—while she said: "According to common sense, the fish The tail is a restricted area for mermaids, and only those closest to me can get the right to touch it... But with our relationship, we don't need to worry about it so much."
"Hmm..." Xia Nuo was completely speechless, his head was blank, he didn't hear what the mermaid said, but nodded like a chicken pecking rice, wanting to end this "torture" as soon as possible .
The mermaid looked at his red ear tips and cheeks with a large blush spreading with a smile, thinking that it was enough to tease him, and then stopped her hands somewhat unsatisfied.
Until the mermaid stopped moving, Xia Nuo was still in a daze. He lowered his head, and for some reason he suddenly remembered the little girl's reminder. He felt as if he could understand her meaning.
Miss Mermaid... did she take him as prey
If the mermaid knew what he was thinking, he would definitely nod without hesitation—this is indeed a hunt, and the deliberate hunter has already made complete preparations, just waiting for the cute little animals to fall into his trap.
There was a moment of silence in the carriage, Xia Nuo lowered his head, and a sound like a drawer being opened was very obvious. He was a little curious in his heart, but he raised his head in embarrassment, and could only silently guess what the mermaid was doing.
A book with a red cover was suddenly placed in front of him, with a few large gold characters on it - "The Labyrinth of the Demon King"
Xia Nuo raised his head in surprise, and he didn't care about the embarrassment: "What is this?"
Looking at the name, it's hard not to think of this game world.
Seeing that the bait successfully lured the little rabbit out of the hole, the mermaid pointed her finger on the cover of the book: "As you can see, this is a fairy tale introducing the world we live in."
"Fairy tale?" Xia Nuo was attracted by this sentence.
"Yes." The mermaid nodded and introduced, "This is written by the famous fairy tale writer Chris. The story about the devil and his labyrinth is very popular in our group. It is a book for children under the age of ten. .”
"Then why did you show me this book?" Xia Nuo asked puzzled.
Does he look like someone who likes fairy tales
Miss Mermaid smiled slightly, and stared straight at the young man in front of her with devilish eyes: "Don't you humans always like to explore things about labyrinths and devil kings? Although this story is fictitious, some of the information in it is still very plausible. Reliable."
For a high-level monster like Miss Mermaid, the labyrinth is just a labyrinth, at best it's just a relatively large space, but the humans who came here all showed interest in it by coincidence.
Wanting to find the exit of the maze - this is the saying given by humans.
Although I don't care about human beings' thoughts at all, let alone whether they can really find the exit of the maze, but for this reason, it is a surprise to be able to use this book to please young people.
Shano: "..."
After hesitating for a long time, he still said thank you, and then opened the book.
As the mission says, this is a fairy tale through and through. It tells the story of a brave man who goes all the way to find the devil in the maze and challenges him.
There is no princess waiting to be rescued in the maze, and the devil has not done any heinous things. From the standpoint of the monster, the author describes the brave man as a little man who wants to gain fame and wealth by defeating the devil.
The brave man with ill intentions learned that the devil lives in the center of the maze, but no one has ever actually arrived at that place, and no one has seen the true face of the devil-the brave man doesn't even know how to find the devil.
However, although this brave man is not noble, he has a clever mind. He found out that the mermaid clan had served as the devil's servant, so he deliberately approached the princess of the mermaid clan and won her heart.
Regardless of the opposition of the tribe, the mermaid married the brave man, and they lived together for three years. The princess even gave birth to a daughter for the brave man—but this still couldn't stop the brave man from realizing his goal.
The brave man finally learned from the princess who lost his vigilance the way to reach the center of the maze, that is to plant a moonlight tree, and the fruit produced by the moonlight tree can guide him to the palace of the devil.
However, the seeds of the Moonlight Tree are extremely rare, and each seed is regarded as a treasure by the Treant Race, and will not be easily obtained by outsiders.
The brave man once again had a plan - he disguised himself as a tree man, sneaked into their territory, and after some twists and turns, he finally succeeded in deceiving the seeds of the Moonlight Tree.
In order to ripen the Moonlight Tree as quickly as possible, he killed countless creatures and used their flesh and blood to water a sinful fruit. The fruit guided the brave man to a magnificent palace.
The devil is sleeping in the palace. He has been sleeping for nearly a thousand years. After so many years, the maze he created is about to give birth to his own soul.
The brave man was overjoyed -- he didn't have the confidence that he could kill the demon king in his heyday, but it was easy to kill a sleeping demon king.
He broke into the hall, walked through the garden, and ran all the way to the bedroom of the devil.
Finally, he saw the Demon King lying on the bed, sleeping so deeply that he seemed unaware of the brave man's arrival.
"What a stupid demon king." The brave man thought contemptuously, "I didn't set up any guards in the palace, and fell into a deep sleep without vigilance. I really have the reputation of falling into the demon king."
But it was also because of this that he could get the chance to strike.
As long as you kill him and get his treasure, everyone will kneel at my feet and cheer, and I will become the greatest brave in their hearts—
Thinking so, the brave man raised the sword in his hand.
With a sound of "噗嗤", the tip of the sword pierced through the heart, and bright red blood flowed out, staining the snow-white bed sheet red.
With a "plop", the brave fell to his knees on the ground. He opened his eyes wide in disbelief, looking at the silver light shining from his chest. When he came before the Demon King, he was killed so easily, he was pierced through the heart by the long sword before he could even see the enemy's face.
Behind him, the demon king's avatar slowly pulled out the long sword stuck in his heart, letting the blood from the sword tip drip onto the snow-white carpet.
"..."
Xia Nuo quickly finished reading the story. He closed the book and agreed with Miss Mermaid's statement—this story did convey a lot of information to him.
Although it seems that it is just a bad guy who did all the bad things by all means for fame and fortune, and finally got punished, and the ending is so abrupt, it is hard to feel the refreshing feeling of seeing the bad guy being punished-of course, this It's just Xia Nuo's opinion, maybe the monsters prefer this style.
But later he found out that it was because the monsters were secretive about the Demon King, so he hurriedly mentioned it—this is a later story, so I won’t mention it for the time being.
Let me talk about the information he has learned so far.
There are four key characters in the story, the brave man, the devil king, the mermaid princess, and the treant who was cheated of the moonlight tree seeds.
If this story is true, then in order to find the Demon King, one must first obtain the seeds of the Moonlight Tree, and to obtain the seeds of the Moonlight Tree, one must find the Treants who have long lived in seclusion.
It is also said in the story that only the mermaids who have made good friends with the tree people really know the whereabouts of the tree people.
Xia Nuo raised his head, and looked at Yanyan Yanyan in a complicated manner, as if a mermaid who knew everything well, only had one thought in his mind.
――Did she really not do it on purpose
As if the mermaid didn't know what he was thinking, she set out the snacks and tea that had been prepared, picked up a piece of dessert and held it in front of Shano.
The small snack almost touched the boy's lips, and the mermaid smiled and said, "Ah—"
The author has something to say: Nuonuo: Even if I can't get out of the maze or pass the game, I won't succumb to your routine! Hmm... so fragrant.
The boss's routine is one after another, which can be said to be very difficult to parry.
And please pay attention to the other two information: the soul of the labyrinth, the avatar of the devil
A little angel asked the boss why he didn't just hide his Adam's apple. He actually exposed the flaw on purpose for Nuonuo to find out.
Lying on the bed and coding is really inefficient_(:3∠)_There are still the last 7,000, I will try to finish all the changes today, fighting!
