Chapter 343: The tail can only be touched by the one you love
"Here, see if there's anything you like to eat."
After saying that, Ning Changge waved his hand, and several spirit stones appeared in front of Mu Xinhai.
Then, he took out two silver-white fruits from the Dabaoshu space. The sword energy flowing in the fruit flesh frightened the nearby fish and caused them to flee in all directions.
The fruit was given to him by the hospitable Mrs. Bai when he first went to the Burial Sword Villa. He didn't finish it, so the rest was put into the large treasure book.
"I don't eat spirit stones, they are not tasty." Mu Xinhai used his fish tail to roll up the sword spirit fruit in Ning Changge's hand, "This fruit is shiny and looks delicious..."
After saying this, she put her small nose close to take a sniff, and suddenly she snorted. The sword energy flowing in the fruit flesh "whoosh" cut off a strand of blue hair on her forehead.
"Ah! Kill the fish——!"
She was so scared that she dropped the fruit, and the fish tail "slapped" and created a thick curtain of water to block in front of her.
Ning Changge picked up the fruit and said embarrassedly, "My, my, I forgot that this thing is only suitable for sword cultivators to eat."
Mu Xinhai poked half of his head out from behind the water curtain and pouted: "I was wrong. You are not kind at all, human cultivator. You just want to eat me."
Ning Changge said seriously: "Look at what you said. With your height and age, it would be too much of a punishment for me to really eat it."
Mu Xinhai tilted his head, with a small question mark on his forehead: "Too good?"
Ning Changge did not explain to her this word which only exists on the blue planet.
He estimated the time he had been in the river, and it was about half an hour. Although he had some skills and could breathe freely in the water, he was not a water spirit after all, and he would feel uncomfortable if he stayed there for too long.
Besides, Lao Mo and the others were still waiting for him on the shore.
"If you don't want to eat these, I will first untie the fishing line wrapped around your tail. There are people waiting for me on the shore." Ning Changge said.
Mu Xinhai swam out from behind the water curtain and asked, "Is there nothing else?"
There was also a long and big sausage... Ning Changge shook his head and said, "No more. How about this, tell me what you like to eat first, and I will bring it to you next time."
"Or you can come with me to the shore. Although the village is small, it should have food that you like."
Mu Xinhai's beautiful eyes suddenly sparkled: "Grilled squid, I like grilled squid the most."
"What the hell?" Ning Changge felt like he was hallucinating. He looked at Mu Xinhai in disbelief and said, "You're a mermaid, and you're eating your favorite squid with me. It's grilled!"
Mu Xinhai's sparkling eyes flickered, and there seemed to be a trace of crystal liquid on the corners of his mouth: "Yes, yes! Grilled squid is the best."
Ning Changge looked at the saliva that was about to drip from her pink lips. Although it was a little hard to accept, he could understand it after thinking about it.
After all, if people can eat people, fish can naturally eat fish.
"I understand. I will bring you grilled squid next time I come. Now I will help you untie the fishing line. Hand me the tail." Ning Changge said.
However, to Ning Changge's surprise, Mu Xinhai hid the fish tail behind him again and lowered his head.
Ning Changge frowned, "What's the matter?"
Mu Xinhai still lowered his head and said, "Grandma said that girls' tails should not be touched by strangers."
Ning Changge blinked and said, "I shouldn't be considered a stranger. I've been chatting with you for such a long time. Besides, I only touched you to help you untie the fishing line."
Mu Xinhai shook his head, "Not a stranger."
Ning Changge smiled and said, "That's all right. Hand over the tail and don't waste any more time."
Mu Xinhai said with a serious tone: "Something's going on."
Ning Changge asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Mu Xinhai finally raised her head, glanced at Ning Changge's face, then immediately lowered her head, her face slightly flushed, and she said softly:
"That... Grandma also said that the tail can only be touched by the one you love. If anyone else touches it, they must be killed."
"Uh..." Ning Changge was silent for two and a half seconds.
He suddenly remembered a TV show he had watched before, in which the heroine said something similar: You have seen my true face beneath the veil, and either I marry you or I kill you.
So, now I want to marry a little mermaid as my wife... Just when this punishable idea popped up in Ning Changge's mind.
Suddenly, there appeared an ice-blue fish tail in front of him, with three circles of fishing line wrapped tightly around it inside and three circles outside.
"Hmm?" Ning Changge was naturally full of confusion, "What are you doing?"
Although he is indeed very handsome, he is not so narcissistic as to fall in love with a girl. Bai Xianer's love-brained personality is just an exception.
Mu Xinhai waved the fish tail and said, "Help me untie the fishing line. It's so uncomfortable to be entangled with it."
Ning Changge was puzzled and asked: "But didn't you just say that?"
"Who told you that your fishing line is so weird?" Mu Xinhai pouted and glanced away with her beautiful eyes, her face showing a bit of dissatisfaction and shame.
"There was no bait on the hook, but it had an extremely tempting aroma. By the time I took the bait, it was too late to let go."
"The fishing line was getting tighter and tighter, and I couldn't untie it myself. The more I tried to untie it, the tighter it got."
Ning Changge really didn't expect that this lucky fishing rod was so outrageous. No wonder they said that nine out of ten rods in the river have fish. It turns out that once you're bitten, there's no way to escape.
"Come on." Mu Xinhai kept wagging his tail, "Don't worry, human cultivator, even though you look very good and I can't beat you, I won't rely on you."
Ning Changge looked at the beautiful ice-blue fish tail in front of him. Its scales sparkled in the sunlight. He coughed:
"Then I'm really here?"
Mu Xinhai said nonchalantly: "Come on, come on."
Hearing her say this, Ning Changge no longer hesitated. He lowered his head, stretched out his hand, and was about to touch it, but suddenly, the fish tail shrank back.
Then a somewhat nervous and frightened voice came from my ear: "The fishing line is very tight, please be gentle, I am afraid of pain."
Ning Changge raised his head, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and said:
"I will be very gentle. But if it really hurts you later, please be patient. You also said that the fishing line is very tight and there is a lot of it."
"I see...."
Mu Xinhai's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he brought the fish tail in front of Ning Changge again.
Seeing this, Ning Changge lowered his head again and stretched out his hand. This time the fish tail did not retract.
As soon as I touched it, I felt a cool but slightly warm feeling, almost like touching a girl's hand.
Of course, there is also a feeling of tightness and tension that comes with it.
Although the little mermaid said that she didn't care, her body was very honest. No wonder her grandma said that strangers should not touch the fish's tail.
"The mermaids' fish tails won't be like Si Niang's fox tail, which will ...... as soon as you touch it?"
A surge of curiosity arose in his heart, but Ning Changge did not raise his head to observe Mu Xinhai, and did not even use his spiritual sense.
After all, if you are already touching someone's crotch and then greedily look at her shy side, it would be impolite. Girls also have to save their face.
Ning Changge concentrated on untangling coil after coil of fishing line.
Sometimes when the fishing line got stuck in the scales, Ning Changge had to pick it out with his hands. During this process, he felt the fish tail in his hand tremble.
If Ning Changge really looked up at this moment, he thought he might see a face with rosy cheeks.
However, the fact was that Mu Xinhai's snow-white face only had a faint pink blush, and she didn't seem to be very shy.
(My scales feel a little hot and itchy. Is this shyness? But didn’t my grandma say that people’s faces turn red and hot when they are shy? How strange...)
