Extra Fresh Eel Rice Bowl (2)

This is going to be the death of this mermaid.

What kind of fish species were there these days?

How were you supposed to know there was half a person on top of the eel!?

You looked at the white-tailed merman in front of you, feeling a bit broken.

His lower lashes were long, the whites of his eyes more prominent, framing his vibrant, orange-red irises, the same color as his hair.
His gaze was locked on you, and it was beyond what could be described as a glare.

You even felt like his eyes had teeth.

You grabbed the large eel tail in front of you again, your eyes darting around quickly.

Seeing a few pits your teeth had made, you immediately reached out to soothe it.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it!”

Haha…

You silently revealed a standard, toothy smile, the whole expression looking extremely awkward.

The tail was snatched back by the other.

“What are you touching randomly.”

After scolding you, the other adjusted his position, his entire fishy self leaning against the coral.
Then you saw his complete form.

It was an eel tail longer than your jiaoren tail, very strong, nearly four meters long.

The other was leaning against the beautiful coral, his beauty captivating, looking like a perfect oil painting of extreme and vibrant colors.

His deliberately short, orange-red hair had a curly arc, floating by his cheeks, a sense of danger and inhumanity washing over you.

The words he spoke were even colder.

You heard that dangerous sounding voice again, questioning you.

“Tell me, how do you plan to compensate me.”

Although it was true that you had bitten him, why had the situation suddenly progressed to this point?
It felt like he was robbing you…

The owner of the orange-red eyes, a merman with an eel tail named Herman, tilted his head and waited for your answer.

You just wanted to eat a meal, why did it turn out like this?

“I have a lot of pearls…” you offered tentatively.

“Useless things, don’t want them.” a merciless rejection.

“Then I’ll weave you some clothes?
Like what I’m wearing, it’s very comfortable.”
This was pure handiwork!

The other shot you another look with his eyes, and sneered.

“Why are you learning from humans and wearing clothes?
Our bodies are so perfect, we look best without clothes.”

Hmph, what a sweeping merman attack!

A wild boar can’t appreciate fine bran, a wild fish doesn’t know the value of jiaoren silk!

“Then what do you want me to do?”

“How about… how about I catch you a dinner!”

While catching it, you could also fill your own poor stomach.

This time, the other actually agreed to your proposal.

You immediately followed up, “Tell me!
What do you want to eat?”

His gaze shifted from you, scanning the surrounding environment, and he spoke slowly.

“I want some sardines, and cod, and mackerel, hmm—I want to eat squid too.”

“But these few won’t be enough to fill me up, so you have to catch a big fish for me too.”

“That’s all.” as if he were showing great mercy.

And you wished you could go back two minutes and retract your words.

That’s—all?

Are you some kind of cheap buffet-catching tool?

And mackerel, do you want me to make you some dumplings…

But the words were already out, so you could only go and hunt obediently, hoping to get it over with quickly.

Although the hunting process wasn’t difficult, the sheer number of types made it impossible for you to do it all at once.

So you watched as the other really did seem to be at a buffet, waiting for you to deliver them one by one.

He was just short of being fed by hand.

You caught and ate on the go, filling your stomach without tasting anything.

You even briefly thought of Adonis.
So many claws, so practical.

Tomorrow, you would go catch eels to eat, only eels!

Finally, you caught a ten-meter-long giant hairtail, tied it in a knot, and handed it over to complete the task.

“This should be enough.”

“I didn’t mean it, I was just dizzy with hunger.”
From now on, you would definitely steer clear of this big eel.

“If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.”

It was already dark.
Looking up at the sea surface, you didn’t want to stay here any longer.

“Leave?”

“My tail isn’t healed yet.”
another deliberately delaying tone.

“You have to keep catching until I’m fully recovered.”

You couldn’t believe your ears…

“Do you hear what you’re saying!?”

“In a little while, you won’t even be able to see the tooth marks…”
Don’t you know how thick your own skin is?

You were so shocked that your complaining soul was activated.
The other was completely following his own rhythm, ignoring you completely.

He held the hairtail in his hand but didn’t eat it, slowly scraping off the silver membrane on its surface with his nails.

“But my tail can’t exert too much force right now.”

Not long ago, just now, you had personally watched his powerful fishtail break several large corals when it casually rested on the coral reef.

“Call me Herman.
What’s your name?”

You stood your ground, absolutely refusing to be the sucker.

“What does it matter what my name is?”

“There’s nothing wrong with your tail!
I just bit it once, and I didn’t even use much force.”

The topic of catching fish was suddenly cut off.
Herman’s words took a sharp turn, one after another, his intentions crystal clear.

“Fine, then we won’t catch anymore.
Let’s switch to something else.”

“I smelled it yesterday.”

“Is your mating season here?”

“Be my wife, I’ll help you.”

After he spoke, you saw Herman smile at you.
His teeth had some of the characteristics of an eel, finer and more numerous than yours or Ewan’s.

In the dim light of the sea, his sharp, thin teeth looked even whiter.

Damn it.

You had run into a merman bully.

Lorken quickly finished writing the letter to be sent to the witch.
He didn’t send it out immediately.

Instead, he went to his spacious study and found a long-dusty book.
There was a small section in it that recorded jiaoren.

He tore out the pages, folded them together with the letter, and finally sealed it with wax.

The small white bat with yellow ears, whom you had met once, now appeared on the study windowsill.
Its small body looked fluffier than last time, and it was a bit larger.

Its small claws grabbed the envelope you had high hopes for, and it transformed into a wisp of white smoke and quickly departed.

Herman was attracted by a fragrance last night.

He didn’t like to come to this area where vampires lived.
He was just passing by last night.

The scent was very faint and disappeared quickly.

For the first time, because of a kinsman’s mating signal, he chose to linger.

After waiting in the sea for nearly a day, he finally saw a figure break through the water, coming from the direction of the vampire’s castle.

A mermaid who looked different?

Herman was a merman with a malicious personality.

He really liked the courtship signal you had emitted last night.
He wanted to claim it for himself.

How should he attract you?
A chance encounter?
Or should he learn from other mermen and be attentive?

Could his malicious personality do it well?

Until a slight pain came from the tip of his tail, Herman’s imagination didn’t match reality.

It was completely different from what he had expected.

Because he never would have thought that you would be hooked in—such an extremely niche way.

“What are you doing?”

Herman watched you look up and answer him, saw a pair of translucent purple eyes.

Malicious thoughts fermented in his heart.

‘You look so easy to deceive.’
