A sweet story about traveling into the world of beasts, killing the heroine and becoming the next in

When Lan Ning led Xuan Heng to the palace gate, he looked as if he wanted to kill someone.

The cat ears among her black hair moved, and she keenly heard a very dreamy sound coming from the big box next to Hengyue. She also smelled a faint fishy smell.

"Greetings, Her Highness Lan Ning." Heng Yue had never been so eager for Lan Ning to appear in front of him as he was today. He directed the puppet palace maids to push the big box in front of Lan Ning, and couldn't wait to throw this hot potato to her.

"Her Highness Furou heard that you returned to the palace to live, so she specially asked me to give you a gift." Heng Yue lifted the red cloth, revealing a large glass jar inside.

Inside was a mermaid with a beautiful golden tail!

The mermaid that exists in fairy tales and legends actually exists in this world!

The mermaid boy with a golden fish tail had short golden hair of the same color as the fish tail. Green plants that Lan Ning didn't recognize were wrapped around his fair skin. His delicate face, like the Venus in the water, was full of curiosity, and his lake blue eyes stared at her cat ears.

Lan Ning was stunned for a moment.

Xuan Heng noticed her look: "......"

It seems that Lan Ning will stare at every good-looking man. Does she like those embroidered pillows that look good but are useless so much?

Having Xuan Mo and Jing Ye around Lan Ning was already more than he could bear, and now there’s another mermaid?

"No need." Xuan Heng said coldly.

Heng Yue looked at Lan Ning, as if waiting for her reply, "What does Your Highness mean?"

Lan Ning stared at the beautiful little mermaid, then turned to look at Xuan Heng and pleaded pitifully, "Can I just keep it like a pet?"

Her request made Xuan Heng frown.

"Such a weak thing can't live long on the ground. Why take it back? If you like fish, ask someone to send it to you. It will be much prettier than this." Xuan Heng refused. He knew it was not a good thing as soon as he saw the mermaid in the glass tank.

I don't want to enter his territory because I'm afraid there will be trouble.

Xuan Heng continued to refuse, "No."

Heng Yue continued, "If His Highness Lan Ning cannot accept this, we will have no choice but to kill this guy."

???

How can this be considered moral kidnapping?

Lan Ning's eyes widened in disbelief. She looked at the beautiful little fish in the glass tank, pursed her lips and said pitifully, "But I've never seen anything like this. Can I just keep it for a while?"

This is a magical creature that only exists in fairy tales. It is so beautiful and I heard that it has a very nice singing voice.

Seeing her expectant look, Xuan Heng's face darkened.

He asked for so much after just one meeting. What would happen if he entered Tinglan Palace?

"No." Xuan Heng refused coldly.

The mermaid in the glass tank seemed to know who held the decision-making power. He lay on the glass and stared at Lan Ning pitifully, with his golden tail swinging back and forth like a homeless stray dog.

Lan Ning felt pity for him. She couldn't help but pull Xuan Heng's sleeve and act coquettishly, "Look, if I don't want him, he will be killed. Otherwise, wait until you find a suitable place for him and send him away."

Quite kind.

Lan Ning rarely asked him to do things like this. If it was anything else, it would have been fine, but he had to bring a man into the palace.

He just couldn't bear to see Lan Ning with tears in her eyes.

"Do we really have to have this?" Xuan Heng frowned.

Lanning nodded.

Xuan Heng hesitated for a long time, but finally succumbed to Lan Ning's pitiful look, "There is a pool in the yard, just throw him in there, and I will send him away as soon as I find a place."

Lanning nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Xuan Heng called the puppet maid and said, "Drag this thing in."

The mermaid happily turned around in the glass tank, and her beautiful eyes followed Lan Ning's cat ears all the time, staring at him so hard that Xuan Heng couldn't help but glare at him.

The pretty little fish was curious about everything on land. Even when he sensed Xuan Heng's murderous look, he just shook his tail indifferently. However, when he saw Xuan Heng directing the puppet palace maid to throw him into the lotus pond, his pretty eyes showed some disbelief.

That land man actually arranged such a poor place to live for himself?

The pretty little fish swung its tail in protest, but the next second the puppet maid threw it into the pond without hesitation, covering it with mud.

The three people at the door didn't know that this pretty little fish held a grudge against Xuan Heng. After Heng Yue finished his business, he said goodbye and turned away, as if something was chasing him from behind.

Lan Ning took Xuan Heng's hand and went to the palace pond to look at the beautiful little fish.

Xuan Heng directly carried her up and walked into the hall, "What's so good about it? Go practice calligraphy first. Xuan Mo will come and check it later."

Ever since Xuan Mo was assigned by the empress to be Lan Ning's master, Xuan Heng would always use him as a shield when he was unwilling to be the bad guy. It turned out to be quite effective.

Lan Ning no longer clamored to see the pretty little fish in the pond, and followed Xuan Heng back to the hall to practice calligraphy. The pretty little fish that had been struggling in the pond saw that no one was paying attention to it for a long time, so it suddenly destroyed all the flowers in the pond.

When Xuan Heng heard the sound, he took the time to look outside. Seeing that the flowers he had painstakingly ordered people to plant were turned into such a horrible state by the mermaid, he directly picked up the uninvited guest and threw him into the bathing pool in the side hall.

The mermaid let out a long cry, refusing to give up, which gave Xuan Heng a headache.

He waved his hand, closed the side hall door, and sealed it again, "Just stay here."

Although I don’t know why Furou sent this thing here, but once I see its appearance...it can’t appear in front of Lan Ning a second time.

When Xuan Mo arrived, he saw many puppet maids working in the pool. He stood and watched for a while, then called out to one of the puppet maids, "Does His Highness Lan Ning dislike it?"

By the way, some of the things here were purchased by him.

Puppet maid: "Her Royal Highness Princess Furou sent a gift, which was a mermaid. The prince threw the mermaid into the pond, and then the mermaid made a mess of the pond. The prince ordered us to restore the pond to its original state."

Mermaid? From Furou?

Xuan Mo looked around but didn't see any mermaids. He was about to ask when he heard a long cry coming from a small palace not far away.

It's the sound waves of the mermaids.

He looked in that direction and found traces of Xuan Heng's magic, which had blocked almost all the entrances and exits of the palace.

Maybe some man was jealous and locked up the mermaid. It was very much his style.

Xuan Mo was silent for a moment. He walked into the main hall and saw Xuan Heng sitting next to the cat-eared girl who was writing seriously. "I greet Princess Lan Ning and the Regent."

Even though he could not teach Lan Ning magic and was not needed most of the time to study government affairs, he still reported to Lan Ning every day.

Hearing his voice, Lan Ning raised her head and her cat ears moved, as if she heard some strange sound. She looked in the direction of the sound, but saw only a palace with a closed door.

"Are you planning to let Lord Xuan keep this posture?" Xuan Heng noticed the movement behind the door, and he calmly diverted Lan Ning's attention.

Lan Ning came back to her senses and quickly put down her pen, "Ah... Lord Xuan, please stand up."
