Chapter 66: ready

"Come." The Mermaid said to him.
Shannon: ""
Although her appearance is almost the same as that of humans, there are some places that clearly show the difference between the two.
Miss Mermaid's fingers are longer, there are translucent webs between the fingers, the knuckles are more prominent, and the fingertips are born with sharp nails.
Her skin was a little too pale, and pale blue blood vessels were faintly visible on it.
The mermaid's voice seemed to be magical. Shannoi put his hands up on him, and then was frozen by the cold touch, and the heat of the whole body disappeared.
Mermaids should be considered mammals, right? Why is your body temperature so low?
He wondered a little bit, then stepped down the steps hidden in the pool by the mermaid.
The little girl was forgotten aside like this, looking at the scene in front of her, her eyes and bones twitched, and she slammed her feet into the water, but picked a place not far from them.
I'm here to watch the developments, she thinks so.
The temperature of the pond water was just right. According to the servant, this was the deep-sea water brought in by their masters who pursued the quality of life, but Shano did not feel anything special.
He was immersed halfway in the pool of water, and the waves gently touched his body.
Shanuo subconsciously closed the bathrobe again, his clothes were very close, and it was as thin and silky as the manservant said. Because of this, Shanuo sometimes produced a kind of as if it did not exist. illusion.
Miss Mermaid noticed his movements, and his eyes kept looking at his chest with the teenager's fingers, and she suddenly smiled slightly: "Yes, you said before, are you asking about the necklace?"
Xia Nuo followed her eyes and could not help lowering her head. She couldn't help but wonder: nothing was revealed. What was Miss Mermaid looking at?
At this time he was very grateful that the bathrobe was not water-permeable.
Hearing Miss Mermaid's words, he remembered the purpose of the visit today and quickly replied: "Yes, I intend to take on this task. I wonder if you can tell us the specific details of the necklace you lost? "
"You don't need to use honorifics." Miss Mermaid first said this, she frowned slightly, then thought for a moment, then asked with some uncertainty, "you said the task I posted three months ago Right? "
Seeing Nono nodded, she made a look of doubt: "It's strange to say, this task is not very difficult, why is it that you are alone to take the task for so long?"
Don't you let many players eat behind closed doors?
Shannon was defamatory, and then he heard Miss Mermaid say as if suddenly realized: "This is probably the plan of fate!"
Shannon: ""
"What are the characteristics of your lost necklace?" He tried hard to restrain the he wanted to talk about, and wanted to get the topic back on track.
"Let me think about it" Miss Mermaid slightly raised her lips and hid the joke in her eyes. "It was a platinum necklace set with 26 pigeon blood rubies and a heart-shaped pink diamond ring at the bottom. It was a token of love sent by my father to my mother. "
"Then how did it get lost?" Shano kept the details of the necklace in his heart and continued to ask.
"Maybe it was stolen?" Miss Mermaid said casually. "When I attended the Duchess' banquet, my dress was poured with wine. When I changed my clothes, I found that the necklace was missing. Now I want to Arise, that should have been premeditated. "
"IMHO," Shannon hesitated for a moment or said, "I feel like you're not in a hurry to get the necklace back?"
Miss Mermaid nodded and said, "That's true."
why? Shanuo was a little puzzled, but the mission explained it, it was a "mermaid" necklace of Miss Mermaid, and her parents' tokens. Should it be significant?
Miss Mermaid looked into his dark eyes: "Because it wasn't necessary before."
Shanuo became more and more puzzled and was staring at the mermaid, his heartbeat involuntarily accelerated: "This, why is this?"
"That necklace is not really important. What is important is the ring above. My parents passed it on to me and used it as my token of love."
Miss Mermaid's eyes smiled, and her voice became somewhat low for some reason. The tail of the fish swayed slightly, and she calmly closed the distance with the boy.
Shanuo looked at her blankly, not realizing that the distance between the two was shrinking.
"It wasn't necessary before, because I haven't found anyone who can send it out, but it's different now."
While saying this, Miss Mermaid had swam in front of Shano and looked down at him condescendingly.
Only then did Shannon find that Miss Mermaid's figure was a little too tall. She stood backlit, and the shadow cast him completely.
"Chang'an, Chang'an" shouted Shano's name, her voice didn't know why it was strange, "If you really feel embarrassed, it's better to reject Miss Mermaid"
"No, it has nothing to do with it." Shanuo shook his head, not expressing his doubts.
At this time they were sitting in a specially prepared room for Miss Mermaid, and she was asked to stay at her house tonight.
What the little girl said was a suggestion given by Miss Mermaid at the end of the morning conversation.
"Since the necklace was lost in the Duchess's castle, it must be inseparable from her."
"The Duchess is going to hold a costume party recently. You can attend as a male companion to find clues. How about this?"
Shano didn't find anything wrong at first, and he didn't respond until he saw the mermaid catching his lips, "Cosplay?"
Doesn't that mean he's going to wear women's clothing?
Miss Mermaid nodded, as if she didn't know why he was surprised: "This is still an idea given to her by human beings, and I have to say that you, my ethnic group, have a lot of wonderful ideas."
However, Shannon was going to be killed by the same family. He tried to struggle: "I can't participate in the ball in another capacity? Like a servant, a guard, or a groom?"
The mermaid laughed, and ruthlessly pierced his fantasy: "Dear, you can neither drive, nor fit the standard of a guard, as a servant"
She meaningfully prolonged the tone: "Not to mention that we have never hired human beings as servants, your temperament is not like a servant who serves others, but more like a young master with pride and respect."
But the most like is suitable for holding small animals in the palm of your hand.
This sentence turned around in her heart, after all, still did not say it.
"And at the banquet, other men will wear women's clothing, which is not shameful." Mermaid added quite profoundly, "And my Chang'an you will only be the most beautiful one."
Shanuo did not notice that Mermaid had taken advantage of his title. He bowed his head in dismay, thinking of some broken jars: "Women's bathrobes have already been worn. Is there any other matter for women? "
I don't know if it was because he wanted to open it, but he didn't have any resistance to it, but he was eager to try.
He didn't want to wear that bathrobe before, but also felt uneasy and shy because of exposing his body. Now he is asked to wear a tightly wrapped gown and long dress, but he is not so exclusive.
After all, living in a modern society with an information explosion, it is not uncommon for ladies to be ladies.
Sorry to say that, in fact, Shano is quite curious about women's clothing.
It's not impossible to try, and he still has so many "difficult brothers".
Back to the present day, the little girl didn't know his psychological changes. He heard his denial and thought that he couldn't stand the blow, but he didn't want to admit it.
In her eyes, "I know I can't say anything", Xia Nuo smiled a little.

"You misunderstood, really not"
But no matter how to explain it, the little girl probably only thinks he is right and wrong?
In fact, Xia Nuo was not worried about the upcoming women's clothing, he was just remembering the scene that surprised him in the morning.
At that time, as the mermaid's body continued to approach, the breath of the two even blended together. I don't know if it was because of the racial characteristics of Miss Mermaid, her breath was carrying a unique ocean-like humidity and communication It made him think of the perfume of sea salt.
His eyes dropped involuntarily, and he was afraid to meet her magical eyes, but then he found something very weird.
From his point of view, a little obvious protrusion appeared on the neck of Miss Mermaid, which was originally covered by the collar.
"Is the mermaid's gender fixed?" Shano suddenly asked.
He remembered that in some or drama, the mermaid was free to change gender.
The little girl froze and replied, "Of course."
If Shano asks someone, he may get an uncertain answer, but the little girl knows it well: "Once a mermaid is born, its gender is already determined. And in the mermaid's group, the proportion of men is Far below women. "
She seemed to know what Shannon was thinking: "Have you seen the story of a mermaid who can freely change gender in adulthood? Perhaps other worlds have such settings, but this is not the case in this world."
Shano said "Oh" and heard the little girl asking, "Why did you ask this question suddenly?"
He wasn't sure if the scene he saw in the morning was true, so he just shook his head: "It's nothing, just suddenly curious."
The little girl didn't ask, but just showed a thoughtful look.
"Dear Chang'an, can I come in?" The door was knocked suddenly, and the voice of a mermaid came from outside.
Since the end of the morning conversation, the mermaid has changed its name to Shanuo. Meiyue's name needs to be adjusted in advance to avoid showing stuffing on the banquet.
This reason is very good, Shanno could not refute, and had to let her call herself that.
I don't know why, although it is for the sake of acting, these three words are in her mouth, as if wrapped in honey on the tip of the tongue, with softness and sweetness beyond words.
After listening to Xia Nuo for a long time, he would no longer fight chills like he heard for the first time, but he got used to it unexpectedly.
"Come in," he said calmly, with the little girl's ridiculous gaze.
Then he saw Miss Mermaid open the door and instructed the servant to bring in several boxes.
"What is this?" Shannon looked at the heavy boxes, his curious eyes flashed in his round eyes.
The mermaid smiled a little, and let the servant open the boxes one by one, and the room was full of light, glittering jewels of various colors, glittering luxurious fabrics, and all kinds of gold, ivory, and gems as fan handles. Folding fan
Xia Nuo was stunned. He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He looked at the mermaid and asked tentatively: "These things"
"All for you." The mermaid nodded slightly, confirming his guess.
At this moment Miss Mermaid changed into a pure white robe with no gender, her seaweed-like hair drooped on her chest. The standing fish tail supports her body. I don't know if it is because of its bonus. The height of Miss Mermaid seems to have reached two meters.
Shannon: ""
What if he suddenly felt that he didn't want to stand with Miss Mermaid?
Thinking in this way, his gaze involuntarily turned to Miss Mermaid's neck, where he was still obscured by the collar, and for the time being he could not see anything unusual.
However, it is imperative to reject these precious jewellery clothes at first glance. Shano looked at the boxes on the ground and said, "Even if you want to go to a banquet, you don't need so many things, right?"
"Don't you like it?" Miss Mermaid asked directly.
"It's not a question of likes or dislikes, it's too expensive."
"Since it's not disliked." The mermaid smiled slightly, and didn't take the boy's rejection to heart.
She pointed him one by one: "These materials are used to re-cut your dress. You don't have to do a lot. About fifteen is enough."
"Isn't there fifteen more?" Shano asked subconsciously.
Just need to attend a banquet, so many clothes to prepare?
"Because the banquet is going to be held for three days." The little girl suddenly interjected, watching his eyes full of sympathy, "Opening a dress, leaving a dress, every morning, noon and evening, you have to change one, the other is It is used to replace unexpected situations, such as soiling clothes. "
"At the same time, the matching jewellery and the fan in hand must be replaced as the dress is changed. These hidden rules are intended to show the guests' strong financial resources and noble identity.
Shannon: ""
Real world banquets don't take that long!
Moreover, he had not attended several banquets before because of physical reasons, but now he encountered this situation and he felt a big headache.
Miss Mermaid nodded, and said with pity, "If it's not enough time, you should prepare a few more."
Shannon: Do I have time to regret it now?
It is obviously too late.
Miss Mermaid cheerfully instructed the servant to unfold the fabric one by one for him to choose: "What kind of fabric do you like?"
"Red, blue or yellow?"
"Red has pearl red, cherry red, silver red blue, gem blue, peacock blue, lake blue yellow, lemon yellow, olive yellow, and goose yellow."
"This cloth dyed by starstone is also good, it looks like a starry sky."
Shanuo was dizzy, never knowing that there were so many colors in the fabric, but the little girl was intrigued and went forward to discuss it with the mermaid.
"This color is better, it matches the younger brother's complexion."
"Black can also be considered, it matches the eyes of Chang'an."
Shannon: ""
Suddenly he had great dissatisfaction with his figure--why couldn't he grow taller?
If he is similar to Miss Mermaid, he can directly wear her previous clothes without suffering such torture!
Without his participation, the little girl and Miss Mermaid set the colors and materials of fifteen dresses with interest and chose matching jewelry and fans. At last, Miss Mermaid said endlessly: "Dear remember to rest early, tomorrow Go to the spider's tailor's shop and measure. "
Shanuo nodded, he really needed to take a good rest.
The little girl finally left his room and said something quite meaningful: "Forgot to say, little brother, Mermaid also likes to show her financial strength and status when he is courting."
The author has something to say: Xia Nuo: I think I have been pitted qwq
boss: I can do it.
To answer the little angel's question, the former mermaid will return. The boss has replaced her identity, not occupied her body.
