Quickly wear it! Fight with the heroine for the man? I'll do it!

Time flies, and it’s the end of the month in a blink of an eye.

Yu Miao's training was as boring and tedious as usual, but she had gradually adapted to it.

The closer it got to visiting the Mermaid House, the more uneasy Yu Miao felt.

"Shh-"

The long sword pointed directly at Yu Miao's neck.

Yu Miao staggered and dodged, and it was only by relying on her body's instinct that she avoided getting hurt.

"You're so absent-minded, do you think you've practiced well?"

Bian Yun suddenly appeared from somewhere and looked at her seriously.

"……sorry."

She was distracted, Yu Miao apologized in a low voice.

"Did something happen at home?" Bian Yun asked.

"No, I was thinking about... the Mermaid Mansion."

Bian Yun put away his sword and looked at her: "Are you feeling complicated?"

"Well, I've never seen a mermaid before."

Bian Yun thought of her and was silent.

After the war between humans and mermaids, she and Xu Tian were the only survivors in the entire sea, but they mysteriously lost their memories and didn't even know how they survived.

Later, the Empire sent people to give them hypnosis treatment, but unfortunately, all ended in failure.

It's normal that she has no influence from the mermaids.

"If you're curious, we'll set off tomorrow. However, this operation must be kept secret."

Leaving tomorrow?

Yu Miao felt that this was a pleasant surprise.

She was given a deadline in advance but it was neither too close nor too far. Yu Miao spent every day in anxiety and tension.

"Don't be too happy too soon. The Mermaid House won't bring you any good memories."

He went there with his father when he was a child.

The situation inside was so bad that he couldn't bear to go there a second time.

I hope it won't scare her.

"By the way, Bian Yun, why are you acting so strangely towards me lately?"

Yu Miao couldn't help but ask.

She and Bian Yun spent most of the day training, and since they were partners, they spent most of their training time together.

To round it off, they have always been together.

They were together every day, and she was not a fool, so she could naturally notice that Bian Yun's attitude towards her was ambiguous.

Sometimes he was gentle, sometimes he was cold, which made her unable to help but repeatedly confirm with Xiao A every day whether he had been possessed by another spirit.

There was a hint of unnaturalness in Bian Yun's expression, and his face became even more serious.

He said coldly: "You think too much, just train well."

Yu Miao looked at his straight back and muttered softly.

What evil has possessed this person? He's so weird.

.

"Have you changed your clothes?"

"Ah."

Yu Miao frowned as he looked at the fishy and sticky cloak on his body.

Does it have to be so exaggerated?

Bian Yun glanced at her and said calmly: "If you want to contact the mermaids, you must cover up the smell on your body."

Yu Miao wrinkled his nose in disdain and asked doubtfully, "Will this really work?"

Isn’t it said that mermaids’ senses are thousands of times sharper than humans’?

Can this little trick fool them?

Bian Yun didn't say anything and just walked forward on his own.

Yu Miao had no choice but to follow.

How did he suddenly change from a gentle, humble, or at most aloof gentleman to such a rude person?

He just moved his fingers and a barrier appeared before his eyes.

"Let's go."

Bian Yun waited for her to take a few steps, and Yu Miao quickly stepped forward - "Ugh!"

The cold, damp, salty smell mixed with the strong smell of blood and rust made Yu Miao feel extremely uncomfortable.

When she saw the scene clearly, she was completely stunned.

The ground was covered with scales from the mermaid's tail, large and small, some stained with blood, and some that had gradually lost their luster.

Yu Miao and Bian Yun were not paying attention and there was a "crack" sound when they kicked.

"Hurry, get to work!"

A pot-bellied man who looked like a supervisor stood by with his hands on his hips, giving orders. In the direction of his finger, there were many laborers using various tools to transport the scales scattered on the ground.

Some people were constantly wiping something, and the big bucket of water was full of blood.

"so tired……"

"Stop talking and reduce your energy consumption."

"It's so annoying. It's all the fault of that guy above. Instead of being a good prince, he had to come here to visit. Don't be scared like he was when he was a child and get a high fever when he returned. Hahahaha!"

The two people who were working were about to say something when they suddenly saw Yu Miao and Bian Yun.

Even though they don't have a signal here, the person who knows this place and dresses so decently is definitely not a nobody.

The two of them quickly shut up and got back to work.

"Wait a moment!"

Bian Yun called the two of them, his expression not looking very good: "What did you mean by what you just said?"

The two of them stammered, no longer showing the fierce look they had just shown. If Yu Miao hadn't been watching their performance the whole time, he would have thought they were innocent.

Yu Miao took out his badge and said, "Marine Corps, Yu Miao, does this identity allow you to tell the truth?"

Seeing this, Bian Yun looked at her deeply.

She knew that her identity should not be revealed here, otherwise once the mermaids came to power, he would be the target of crazy revenge by the entire mermaid clan.

"It turned out to be the military officers! We were blind and didn't recognize the real talent!"

As they spoke, they clasped their hands together and pretended to kneel down.

"Kneel down later. Tell us first what your recent work is and where did this bucket of blood come from?"

"This……"

"Ok?"

Seeing that they dared to test him, Yu Miao drew the long knife from his waist and put it on the neck of one of them.

"General, spare my life! I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."

Even though he was terrified by the oppression from his superiors, he couldn't just ignore the knife on his neck.

Besides, there is no impenetrable wall in this world!

We have built such a large mermaid museum, and people will discover it sooner or later.

The more Bian Yun listened, the gloomier his expression became.

My father could actually do such a thing!

"Tell them all to stop and take me to a prison where you haven't done anything to me yet!"

He wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of beautiful lie his father had woven to hide it from him.

Yu Miao shook his head repeatedly the moment he looked at her.

It would be better for him to bear this kind of situation alone. Just listening to the two people's descriptions made her feel sick to her stomach.

"Don't wander around."

"Well, be careful."

Bian Yun followed the footsteps of the two laborers and gradually walked into the darkness.

Is he about to discover the truth?

Yu Miao thought so.

From her understanding of Bian Yun, although he appears to be aloof, his demands on himself are extremely abnormal. This is not for the sake of possessing powerful abilities to conquer other races, but for his responsibility as the next generation of human monarch.

Contrary to his cold appearance, he seems to have equal respect and kindness towards all living things.

Although what happened today may very well shatter the beliefs and worldview he has held for so many years, he cannot live in lies and deception all his life.

Yu Miao looked down at the shoe room, waiting for Bian Yun, when he suddenly heard a terrible scream.

The sound was like the slightly sharp laughter of a young woman, or the heart-wrenching cry of a baby.

The sound was so penetrating and infectious that even though Yu Miao was just standing at the entrance of the Mermaid House, he could still feel its pain and sadness.

I couldn't help but walk towards the direction of the sound.
