Mu Miao was terrified, his eyes wide open, a layer of mist covering his eyes from the shock. The scales on his tail flared slightly, and the whole fish froze in place.

He frantically called out to the system in his mind, but the other side didn't respond.

"Tsk." The man behind him stroked his chin, savoring the feel of delicate skin. "Little fish, do you see the person in front of you? He's a famous fish-gutting hand. If you don't want to be disemboweled and made into a dish, don't shout, understand?"

The man's voice was calm, even when speaking such cruel words to scare the fish, his voice was still pleasant and magnetic.

Mu Miao was scared pale, motionless, his scales about to explode, he nodded quickly.

He was looking for food, but he didn't want to become someone else's dinner.

Mu Miao's eyes were red with anxiety. His face was so small that the man could completely cover it with one hand. While covering his mouth, he inevitably covered his nose.

Mu Miao couldn't breathe, a blush appeared on his porcelain white face, his hot breath hit the man's palm, making it wet. He didn't get a response from the person behind him for a long time, Mu Miao was confused.

"Ugh..."

He promised not to shout, why didn't this person let go of him?

The merman's naturally beautiful voice made Yu Chen's heart tingle. He had just come to see which clueless sea beast had wandered into his territory, and unexpectedly saw this timid little merman hiding behind the reef.

He felt the warm breath on his palm. He was a head taller than Mu Miao, and when he lowered his head, he could just see the teardrops hanging on his long eyelashes. "You're already crying? How weak. How did you survive in the sea like this?"

His arms were so thin, and he didn't even have sharp claws. He probably couldn't even pry open the weakest shellfish in the sea.

Being scorned, Mu Miao whimpered, unable to answer.

Yu Chen released him, and Mu Miao, as soon as he regained his freedom, wanted to escape. But in front of him was the reef, and behind him was the bad guy who bullied and threatened fish. Mu Miao was panicked and couldn't leave.

Since that was the case, Mu Miao clenched his not-so-strong fists, straightened his back, and turned to face the man, looking menacing.

He knew, you lose the fight, but not the attitude! Scare him to death!

Mu Miao just recklessly bumped into Yu Chen's deep eyes, the black eyes were like a bottomless abyss, containing unspeakable danger.

The momentum that Mu Miao had built up disappeared entirely because of this daze. His clear emerald green eyes stared at the man blankly, his whole body radiating obedience.

Yu Chen was wearing a simple shirt and trousers. Beneath the thin clothes, vaguely visible were powerful muscles, not exaggerated, only making people feel that this man was a well-trained, gentle intellectual.

His features were handsome and three-dimensional, especially those ancient well-like eyes, which added a touch of aloof indifference to the man.

So handsome, he must be delicious!

Mu Miao's eyes drooled, and his saliva uncontrollably increased.

Someone suddenly pinched Mu Miao's cheek. Yu Chen kept that indifferent expression, saying words full of mischievous fun, "Little fish, do you still want those eyes that are staring at me? Fish eyes are also a nutritious ingredient."

Mu Miao: !!!

Mu Miao snapped back to his senses, slapped the man's hand away, and covered his face with his hands in fear, retreating backwards. He muttered, "You can't eat it, my eyes can't be eaten, they're not delicious."

Okay, he knew now. This man also wanted to eat him, the delicious fish! He even wanted to make fish soup out of him! How could there be such a bad person?

Mu Miao pressed his back tightly against the reef. He knew that the premise of eating was to save his little life, and he wanted to be as far away from this man as possible.

He also didn't plan on continuing to look for food. He wanted to go back to the sea immediately and never come out again. He'd change to eating seafood from now on!

Yu Chen looked at his aggrieved and resentful little eyes, he couldn't help but chuckle, the indifference in his eyes softened a bit, making him much more lively.

Mu Miao took a deep breath, his fingers intertwined, "You, can you move a little? I want to go home. You don't have to eat me either. If you really want to eat fish, I'll catch some fish, I'll catch other fish to feed you."

Mu Miao tried to reason with him, but Yu Chen obviously wasn't the kind of person who listened.

He suddenly moved closer, Mu Miao was a deep-sea fish, and his body temperature was much lower than humans, he was scorched by Yu Chen's body temperature and kept dodging.

"Ah!"

A pair of hands reached under Mu Miao's armpits, and the whole fish was picked up and held in Yu Chen's arms like a child. His large tail beat helplessly against Yu Chen's legs, and the water on his body had soaked a large part of Yu Chen's clothes.

Yu Chen patted his tail, his legs submerged in water, he strode forward, "Do you want your tail anymore? Don't move around if you don't want it to be cut off and made into grilled fish tail."

Wuuuu—

Mu Miao was really going to cry now. All he could think about was a hundred ways to cook fish. His voice choked, "I've promised to help you catch fish to eat, why do you have to eat me? I don't have much meat, I, I just wanted to go ashore to find something to eat, wuuuu, I'm going to be eaten."

Mu Miao was so sad he couldn't control himself. He was still hungry, but he was filling someone else's stomach. He was a big fish, and he could definitely eat for days.

But who knew that he was also hungry!
