Lan Qian vigilantly grasped the scabbard, blocking in front of Jiang Yang, ready to defend against any possible attacks from the merman. Jiang Yang patted her shoulder. “Don’t be so tense.”Lan Qian thought, this little ancestor, Your Highness is really bold! How could she not be nervous? If this little beast hurt her, even Lan Qian’s own life wouldn’t be enough to compensate.
Jiang Yang pulled up a chair and sat at a safe distance. She waved the plate in her hand at Chi Mei, who was staring at her eagerly. “Chi Mei, I brought you something delicious.”
Chi Mei was lying on the edge of the water bucket. Water flowed from his arms to the outside of the wooden bucket with a splash. His hair, as dark and heavy as ink, stuck to his arms and long neck in strands, contrasting his cold skin tone to the extreme. If it weren’t for the vibrant and bright colors in his eyes, he would have looked more like the legendary terrifying sea demon that enchanted sailors with their eerie beauty and then dragged them into the sea to devour them.
“What delicious food?” Chi Mei asked curiously, sniffing lightly with his nose. It was a scent he had never perceived before, but it smelled very good and enticing.
Merpeople were not only sensitive in hearing but also in smell. He had long smelled Jiang Yang’s scent. Compared to the nauseating female humans on this ship, Jiang Yang was the only person he felt at ease and comfortable with.
“Fried shrimp chips.”
“Fried?” Chi Mei blinked his jet-black eyes in confusion. “What is fried?”
As expected, creatures in the ocean didn’t have the concept of frying. Jiang Yang revealed a slight smile. “You’ll know once you taste it.”
“Alright.” Chi Mei agreed without any hesitation.
“But before you eat this, you have to wipe your hands dry first. Catch.” Jiang Yang took out the handkerchief she carried with her, rolled it into a small ball, and threw it to him.
Shrimp chips were all about the dry and crispy texture. If the merman’s hands were all wet, the shrimp chips would become soft and soggy as soon as he touched them, and the meaning of frying would be lost.
The embroidered ball drew a parabola in the air. At the highest point, it unfolded, and the passionate phoenix pattern seemed to burst open like fireworks, falling lightly into Chi Mei’s hand.
He looked down at the phoenix flower embroidered on the handkerchief. His fingertips gently stroked it. Using the part without the embroidered flower, he wiped his hands dry. Then, he folded the handkerchief neatly and placed it on the edge of the water bucket. He obediently said to Jiang Yang, “I’ve wiped my hands dry.”
Jiang Yang got up, wanting to hand the plate to him. Lan Qian interjected, “Second Miss, you can’t. Let me.”
She drew her sword and used the tip to support the bottom of the plate, delivering it to Chi Mei. The icy sword tip pointed straight at him. Chi Mei could tell she meant no good and glared at her fiercely with furrowed brows.
There was not a single good human on this ship… except for Jiang Yang.
He was swimming well in the sea when he was suddenly caught by humans. If it weren’t for Jiang Yang saving him, he might have already ended up like the other captured tribesmen, leaving no trace of their bones. But last night, he had already sent out a signal through his singing, hoping that his tribesmen would hear it and come to his rescue.
Thinking that the day of avenging his humiliation was near, Chi Mei took the shrimp chips from the plate and bit into them with great pleasure. With just one bite, he froze. This crispy texture was something he had never experienced in his many years of living at the bottom of the sea. It was very strange, but it tasted so good.
