59: Bullying the fish and coaxing the fish

Not long after, Lan Xing used his own fish scales to cut the meat from the blue fish into pieces.

Nan Zhisui: "What I wanted were fish slices, not fish chunks, and they cannot have any bones!"

"What a pain." Lan Xing still removed the bones from the fish, sliced it into thin pieces, and handed it to her.

This sashimi actually looked quite delicious.

Nan Zhisui took out a pair of chopsticks and began to eat elegantly.

Before long, the plate of fish slices was finished, and Nan Zhisui said reservedly, "I'm full."

Lan Xing looked her over.

"Why are you looking at me?" Nan Zhisui asked.

"You only ate this little?"

"That's right."

Lan Xing looked at the blue fish that had been split in two on the side, "If I had known you would only eat this little, I wouldn't have had to kill it."

This little bit of meat didn't even constitute a minor injury.

Nan Zhisui: "..."

Lan Xing waved his hand, and two Male Mermen entered from outside, took the blue fish away, and let the merfolk outside eat it together.

Lan Xing turned around, preparing to leave.

Nan Zhisui was startled. Recalling the crisis from just a moment ago, she immediately swam over and grabbed his arm: "Where are you going?"

Feeling the soft little hand clutching his arm, the young Male Merman instantly stiffened.

Nan Zhisui hugged his arm tightly and said quickly: "Lan Xing, you promised that you would fulfill your duties as a beast husband for these seven days. I don't care. For these seven days, wherever I am, you must be there too!"

A distance of 50 meters—that must be it, not a single bit over!

"You! You are being unreasonable!" The Merfolk Male felt her soft little hand on his arm, his earlobes turning slightly red, and he stammered, "What on earth do you want to do?"

Lan Xing really couldn't understand.

She wouldn't take the hand he extended to her.

She would run away whenever she had a chance, and even sent him away just to escape.

She hadn't come to see him once in five years, and this time didn't seem to be for the purpose of finding him either.

She didn't like him at all and had almost completely forgotten about him.

But now, to think, actually...

Lan Xing snuck a glance at her hand, which was holding his arm.

Simply... a hooligan.

Nan Zhisui caught sight of his earlobes...

They were red again!

In fact, whether before or now, Nan Zhisui always felt that this fish was like a teenager who had just come of age at seventeen or eighteen.

So tightly green and inexperienced, which she liked very much.

Look... she just held his arm, and those earlobes were red again?

"What do I want to do?" Nan Zhisui tilted her head to observe his reaction.

If the distance from Lan Xing exceeded 50 meters for more than 15 minutes, she would turn back into a human.

If she turned into a human at the bottom of the ocean, wouldn't she die?

Nan Zhisui hugged his arm and wouldn't let go, "Don't worry about what I want to do. In any case, if you want to sever our partner relationship, you must listen to me!"

"You are simply being unreasonable!" Lan Xing blushed and tried to pull his arm away, only to find he couldn't.

Nan Zhisui thought he looked truly amusing and couldn't help but take her phone out from her space to snap a photo together.

By the way, when Nan Zhisui was stocking up on goods, she specifically made sure to buy a waterproof and durable phone model, so it could take photos even underwater.

The moment Lan Xing saw his own image being recorded into the phone, his face turned pale.

"What are you doing?!"

"Nan Zhisui, in order to control me, you actually trapped my Soul inside this little thing?!"

Nan Zhisui: "...?"

Nan Zhisui turned her eyes, and her black pearl-like pupils met Lan Xing's brilliant blue-purple ones.

Her eyes rolled around, her brain turning fast, and then, she curved her lips into a cunning smile, much like Anya Forger.

"That's right, you've discovered it!"

Nan Zhisui let go of him and straightened her clothes and hair. "I used this little thing to trap your Soul."

Lan Xing's expression was strange, and then, as if he had been bullied, he almost started to cry, "Why? Why would you do this to me?! What did I do that you would want to trap my Soul?"

"You just don't like me, so you like to bully me. You just love to bully me!"

Still as gullible and cute as before.

Watching his tears fall and turn into drops of blue-purple pearls, Nan Zhisui used a glass bottle to collect the pearls. After a while, her conscience finally kicked in, and she went to coax him.

"Don't cry, it makes my heart ache." What a scumbag-like thing to say. Ugh.

Lan Xing cried even harder. "You are just bullying me. You relied on having bought me to forcefully take my body, and afterwards you ignored me, just throwing a cub at me. And then..."

"And then you wouldn't take responsibility for the two of us, father and daughter!"

Lan Xing accused her, "They all know I have a female master, but they don't know that I was bought, and once used, I was thrown away..."

"Why, why would you bully me like this?"

Nan Zhisui's cunning smile finally faded; she realized she might have bullied him too hard.

"Alright, alright, don't cry, don't cry." Nan Zhisui carefully wiped away his tears, "It was my fault before; I didn't do well enough. I will change in the future."

Nan Zhisui herself hadn't expected that her light coaxing would be so effective. Lan Xing actually gradually stopped crying.

"Can you return my Soul to me?" Lan Xing asked.

So obedient and so easy to trick!

Nan Zhisui feigned a cough and said solemnly, "Not yet; I have to ensure you are obedient."

Lan Xing calmed down. Compelled by the fact that his Soul was trapped, he rarely stopped making a fuss: "How do you want me to be obedient?"

Nan Zhisui: "While I am in the ocean, you cannot be more than 50 meters away from me!"

"50 meters?" Lan Xing frowned. "Is that your land-based way of calculating?"

Nan Zhisui said, "Stand still first."

She backed away, and after retreating to a position where her Supernatural Ability could not sense him, she said, "This is the distance; you cannot exceed this distance from me. Otherwise, your Soul inside this little thing won't be safe!"

After carefully observing this distance, Lan Xing said somewhat aggrievedly, "Okay, I understand."

It looks like she successfully fooled him!

Lan Xing felt that he was being controlled by her, and he felt a little bit of resentment.

He said, "Don't think that just because you control my Soul, you can control me."

He paused, then stammered in a grievance-filled tone, "I am still going to sever our partner relationship!"

...

Lan Xing had made too many harsh threats, and Nan Zhisui had finally gotten used to it.

Nan Zhisui thought, anyway, no matter how he wanted to sever the partner relationship, the initiative was in her hands.

If she didn't agree, even if he kept shouting about wanting to sever the partner relationship, he couldn't do it.

Nan Zhisui seemed to have found a new way to get along with Lan Xing, and she looked at him leisurely.

Not long after, some merfolk came to call Lan Xing, and Lan Xing went out, but he also considered the fifty meters Nan Zhisui had mentioned, so he didn't go very far.

Just as Lan Xing went out, the Merfolk Males who had been waiting outside for a long time for an opportunity swarmed in.

Nan Zhisui was startled and even retreated slightly.

Yu Lang suddenly leaned in close, smiling cheekily, "Sister, we'll keep you company and chat."

Don't tell me that not only did you not sympathize with our Lan Xing's plight, but you actually laughed?!

Huh?

You're all bad sisters!
