Yu Chen still had that indifferent expression, but his accelerated pace betrayed his mood, he violently tugged Mu Miao’s wrist, pulling him to the edge.

In this process, Mu Miao had woken up, wide eyes looking straight at Yu Chen.

Yu Chen’s extremely fast beating heart calmed down a bit, he looked at the fish with no expression, “…… Why?”

Mu Miao mumbled mournfully: “Yu Chen, I am so hungry ah.”

Yu Chen took a glance at the shore of the lawn he gleaned bald, as well as Mu Miao’s mouth that was covered with grass clippings, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, he got up and went back to the house to get a plate of fresh fruit, and placed it in front of Mu Miao.

Mu Miao stared at the plate of fruit, he didn’t move to eat it, feeling a bit embarrassed: “That, I’m not a vegetarian.”

He was a carnivore!

Yu Chen looked at the grass clippings around his mouth, “Then why did you pluck grass to eat?”

Mu Miao noticed his line of sight, wiped his mouth, saw the grass clippings on his hand, and knew that Yu Chen misunderstood that he was hungry to eat grass, he blushingly explained, “This is the grass for your koi to eat, but they won’t eat.”

Yu Chen: “……”

He gazed at the difficult fish and questioned for the first time whether he made the right decision in bringing him back.

It was still a moment before Yu Chen asked, “So what do you want to eat?”

Mu Miao squirmed and looked at Yu Chen, torn for a few seconds, “Anything?”

Yu Chen: “Except the kind of things I can’t get.”

“No no.” Mu Miao waved his hand and spoke apprehensively, “Can I have some of your blood, just a little, just a little.”

The blood was the carrier of human aura, which had the most aura in it.

Yu Chen cupped his cheek and squeezed it in. Mu Miao’s full flesh bulged, the little mermaid blinked in confusion, silently asking Yu Chen why he pinched his face?

Yu Chen just pinched for a moment, he quickly put down his hand, and didn’t want to give him an explanation.

Mu Miao waited blearily for his feeding, “Can I? I really just need a little bit.”

He repeated a little bit many times, just to not let Yu Chen feel that he was a difficult fish.

Yu Chen went inside and took a knife and small bowl, rolled up his sleeves, and slashed at his wrist, and the bright red blood fell into the bowl.

“Hey! It’s too much!” Mu Miao hurried to stop him, seeing that the blood kept flowing, he didn’t dare to rashly go to cover, pulling the knife in his hand, “Quickly bandage it, it hurts.”

Yu Chen laughed lightly, “The knife was clearly on my body, I didn’t scream in pain, what are you screaming about first?”

“I’m sorry.” Mu Miao felt guilty, he was the one who caused Yu Chen to get hurt, he was a bad fish.

“I will rarely be hungry later.”

He thought about it and couldn’t find a way to deal with it, he could only promise with Yu Chen like this, next time as long as he wasn’t on the verge of starvation, he would never ask Yu Chen for food.

Yu Chen was amused by his statement, it might be interesting to have such a silly fish in this boring day.

In that case, he was his fish.

Paranoia and possession flashed from under Yu Chen’s deep eyes as he ruffled his fluffy head, “Blood isn’t a problem, remember to tell me next time you’re hungry.”

At the same time, the wound on his wrist was healing extremely fast at a speed that humans couldn’t heal.

Mu Miao accepted the bowl full of blood from him with both hands, his heart was filled with emotion, completely ignoring the strange changes in Yu Chen’s wound.

Yu Chen, was a great guy!

He would definitely repay his kindness by feeding him, Mu Miao secretly swore, he decided to go catch him the biggest and tastiest fish tomorrow and feed this kind-hearted two-legged beast properly.

Mu Miao had never drunk blood, although it smelled delicious, he didn’t know how it would taste, he tentatively extended a small tongue, like a kitten drinking water, he gently licked a mouthful.

Tasty!

Mu Miao’s eyes lit up, holding the bowl a little bit to drink, his beautiful tail wagged because of the owner’s pleasure, the blue tail shone in the sunlight, as the man watched, he felt his heart beating.

Mu Miao felt the tail covered with a layer of warm skin, he wagged his tail suspiciously, trying to avoid it.

Turning his head to look, he saw Yu Chen’s hand on his tail, stroking the scales gently.

He seemed to be interested in his tail, Mu Miao hesitated, looked at the blood in his bowl and finally let Yu Chen continue.

Amidst the dense forests on the mountain, the high temperatures of summer were blocked out, providing a refreshing experience that was rare in bitter summers.

Mu Miao dozed off amidst the chirping of cicadas and laid on the edge, his tail was soaked in water, and he comfortably closed his eyes.

“Sleeping like this?” Yu Chen’s hands were wet, he rubbed the soft tail veil on Mu Miao’s fishtail, eyes slightly dark, he bent down close to Mu Miao’s face, his eyes swept over the sweet red lips, small nose, curly eyelashes ……

Mu Miao slept soundly, vaguely sensing an undeniable gaze, he recoiled uncomfortably into the water.

Suddenly, a strong force came, and he rose into the air and changed his position to sit steadily on the man’s leg. Mu Miao lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced at Yu Chen, then relaxed and fell asleep again.

“Yu Chen, don’t mess with me, I’m so sleepy.”

His words were tinged with sleepiness. Mu Miao’s sticky voice was right next to his ear, and Yu Chen’s heart felt like it was being tickled by a feather.

Yu Chen’s voice was a little hoarse, “Okay, I won’t disturb you, go to sleep.”

Mu Miao nodded casually and found a good place to sleep. His head was nestled in Yu Chen’s neck, the human body was always more comfortable than hard stones. Mu Miao subconsciously rubbed against it and slept deeper.

Yu Chen couldn’t explain the reason why he did this, perhaps because he couldn’t see Mu Miao sleeping so sweetly and wanted to deliberately wake him up. However, he could only get carried away and let the little fish sleep in his arms.

Well, this fish was too good at being pampered, Yu Chen thought to himself.

Yu Chen’s eyes lowered, looking at Mu Miao’s dependent and peaceful expression, he had to admit that his long-standing heart without waves was beating a little heavily.

Time passed quietly.

Mu Miao didn’t know how long he had been sleeping when a voice in his head woke him up.

[Drop – B-level copy of “Misty Fishing Village” officially opened.
Background: Yu village has been fishing for generations, the village near the sea lives in isolation, it attracts a large number of people to come from thousands of miles. Only, every nightfall in this beautiful village, fog will begin to spread, hidden in the mist are a flash of figures, hibernating in the shadows and waiting for an opportunity to move. 】

[Number of Players: Five]

【Task: Protect the Fire]

[Mission duration: seven days]

【Drop – NPCs are in position, players are in position, the game has officially begun.]

The cold indifferent voice was very different from 001, Mu Miao made a comparison and felt that still his 001 was more advanced and sounded more like a living person.

“Awake?”

Mu Miao’s eyelashes were ruffled, he realized he was still sitting in Yu Chen’s arms, he shook his body, raised his eyes to Yu Chen, “I’m heavy, your legs will go numb if you keep holding me.”

The words just fell, when there was a knock at the door.

The voice of the person outside the door was old, “Ah Chen, are you home?”

Yu Chen put Mu Miao into the pool, his finger poked his head, “Go in, you won’t be found under the water, don’t poke your head out.”

Mu Miao nodded good-naturedly, “I will hide well.”

Although he was slow to react and his brother often said he had a clear stupidity in his eyes, he wasn’t ignorant.

Mu Miao knew that his identity in this copy was a bad fish NPC, the kind that was going to eat people, and Yu Chen was on the human side, and just because Yu Chen didn’t kill him didn’t mean the other humans would be nice to him.

Maybe once the others find out, Mu Miao would really become a dish.

Mu Miao darted into the water and hid.

Yu Chen gave him a deep look and got up to open the door, outside the door stood an old man with white hair, he was on crutches, his face was full of wrinkles brought on by the passage of time.

When the old man saw Yu Chen’s young and handsome face, his hand tightened on his walking stick and he moved forward a few steps, “Ah Chen, you’re home.”

Yu Chen remained indifferent, “Yes, something?”

The old man’s name was Yu Fan, he was the village head of the Yu family village, usually when the village had any important events, he would make decisions. But at this time he didn’t have the composure that an older person should have, his mouth opened and closed, wanting to say something but then stopped.

After waiting for a few seconds, Yu Chen began to get impatient, “If you have something to say, speak, I don’t have the ability to read minds, I can’t guess what you’re thinking.”

Yu Fan seemed embarrassed, “Ah Chen, just now a few foreigners came, I just want to ask you, can you let them stay ……”

His voice got smaller and smaller, and finally became as low as a mosquito.

Yu Chen laughed quietly, but his dark eyes were blank, “As you wish.”

Then he turned around and closed the door.

Yu Fan stood outside the door in silence for a while, sighing, then he limped with his crutches towards the bottom of the hill.

The temperature in the afternoon remained high, perhaps because of the stifling weather, adults rarely wandered outside in the Yu family village, only a few idle children that didn’t want to nap ran around.

At this time they were hiding by the wall to look at the outsiders, this time there were a dozen people, most of them were in rags, and their faces were gray, they were not like tourists, more like refugees.

One of the boys, wearing sportswear and a mask, was full of vitality. When he saw people around him, his first reaction was not how he suddenly appeared here.

“Shit! Why aren’t you all wearing masks? Code Red Code Green, huh?”

“Hmm? What are you wearing, a cosplay?”

Li Cong pinched his mask and looked up and down at the boy next to him, who looked about the same age as him, just in a rough vintage style off-white linen outfit.

The boy cringed at the sound of his voice, his legs bent and he was about to kneel down, “It’s the slave’s fault! Your Excellency is not to blame! Please don’t blame this slave!”

“Holy shit, you don’t have to kneel.” Li Cong hurried to pull him, shocked, “buddy, stand up!”

Every move here was reflected in the eyes of the players in the central hall, with countless large suspended screens showing copies of different players in progress.

The audience who were watching the copy of [Misty Fishing Village] left messages in the live stream.

[Holy shit! This copy is actually open? Let’s go!]

[Hmm? What’s going on upstairs, isn’t this just a B-level copy? What’s so unusual?]

[Where are the fools from? They don’t even know this instance of Misty Fishing Village. No one has ever passed the level of Mist Fishing Village since it was opened. Isn’t there an A-level one inside? How could someone still look down on this copy?]

[ The newcomers are really miserable, the first time they enter the game is this devil copy.]

[Bet on how many nights they’ll be wiped out?]

[ I bet ten points! The first night is game over!]

[ I bet 20 points! The next day, no more!]

[……]

Compared to the fervor of the live room, the atmosphere of the scene was much more dull.

For this side of the farce, the other veteran players just indifferently looked around.

The children hiding behind the wall, on the other hand, watched one by one with wide eyes, and a few of them hugged their shoulders like adults to show their disgust.

“There are so many foreigners again, it’s really annoying.”

“Why are they all running to us one by one? I hate these outsiders.”

“That’s right, the city outside is too good to accommodate them? They have to come to us, but also dislike us for being poor, really annoying, I don’t know when this group of people will leave.”

“Brother Yu Kai, your grandfather agreed for them to stay?”

The one called Yu Kai was a young boy who looked eleven or twelve years old, he was the grandson of the village chief, and he was the most naughty one.

He was so distracted that it took a few shouts from his partner to get him back to his senses.

The youngster asked worriedly, “Brother Yu Kai, what’s wrong with you? You’ve been distracted since the morning.”

Yu Kai was poked and prodded and yelled loudly, “What can happen to me? You guys are really annoying, a bunch of kids, I don’t want to play with you anymore!”

After that he turned around and ran away.

The children were left looking at each other, scratching their ears and not knowing what to do.

Yu Kai unknowingly came to the gravel road leading to the mountain, he looked at the mountain, recalling the scene he saw in the morning.

He was playing hide-and-seek with his friends here, and when he saw Uncle You Chen coming from afar, he rushed to hide behind a tree out of fear of him.

That was when he saw Uncle Yu Chen with a mermaid in his arms. Grandpa told him that those non-humans would eat human flesh and drink human blood, vicious and murderous, none of them were good.

But the one in Uncle Yu Chen’s arms – was so beautiful.

He looked delicate and weak, with a beautiful fish tail curled up on Uncle Yu Chen’s lap, his small head tilted back, and he rapidly spoke to the man holding him.

So well behaved, not at all like the kind of scary monster grandpa said.

Yu Kai was at the age where the newborn calf wasn’t afraid of the tiger, the young boy had always been curious about those magical fae creatures, let alone a beautiful mermaid.

Yu Kai hesitated and didn’t tell his grandfather about it, instead he couldn’t wait to run to the mountain.
