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

He stared intently at the palace where the aura came from, and he could clearly sense the presence of a strange person inside.

Jing Ye frowned, he looked at the candlelit palace not far away, and walked in with heavy steps.

"Greetings, His Highness Lan Ning." Jing Ye saluted respectfully. When he looked up, he saw two men who were absorbed in playing chess, facing each other with chess pieces in their hands.

Lan Ning crawled out of Xuan Heng's arms. Since she didn't understand how to play chess anyway, she simply went to chat with Jing Ye.

"General, please stand up." Lan Ning saw this innocent big dog and wanted to play with him. "They are playing chess. Let's go out and talk."

Without waiting for Jingye to answer, she grabbed his wrist and dragged him out.

[Jing Ye's favorability +2, total favorability: 51. ]

Hearing this familiar hint of favor, Lan Ning exhaled slowly. She stood by the pond. After an afternoon, the pond that was damaged by the mermaid had been restored to its original state by the puppet palace maid.

Lan Ning pulled him to the palace that was sealed by Xuan Heng.

"There is a beautiful little fish in here, but the prince won't let me see him. Can you help me open it?" Lan Ning was still thinking about the beautiful little fish. She couldn't open the door with her ability.

Even though she knew the mermaid inside was making a fuss, she could do nothing.

Naturally, her favorability level kept going up and down, and she really wanted to go in and trigger the favorability progress bar of the fourth target!

Judging from the looks of Xuan Heng and Xuan Mo, they would definitely not let him see Xiaoyu, so only Jing Ye was left.

Since it is also a five-star dangerous difficulty, he should be able to unlock Xuan Heng's sealing technique.

Jing Ye didn't expect that the rare thing that Lan Ning asked him to do was to go against the Regent. He didn't know the ins and outs of this mermaid, but seeing Xuan Mo and Xuan Heng looked indifferent.

He thought it would be better not to do anything unnecessary.

"No, this won't work." Jing Ye refused.

Lan Ning's ears drooped instantly. She held Jing Ye's wrist pitifully and acted coquettishly, "I'm just curious and want to take a look. If not, can you open the window for me?"

How could Jing Ye stand her nagging, or perhaps he had no experience in dealing with such a situation at all. Looking at her pitiful eyes, he softened his heart and agreed.

"They are playing chess inside, you are only allowed to take a look." Jing Ye still reminded.

Although he had never seen the guy inside, judging from his aura, he must be a tough guy.

When Lan Ning heard that he was willing to help her, she quickly pulled him to the window where no one inside could see. "I promise you, I've also secretly brought some cakes over. We'll put them in later and then close the window."

Seeing her lively appearance, Jing Ye completely lost his temper. He raised his hand to temporarily unlock the seal on the window, picked up Lan Ning and looked into the palace. In the darkness, there was only a bathing pool that almost covered the entire palace, and there were slight ripples on the water surface.

Lan Ning didn't see Xiaoyu, so he tilted his head and asked in confusion, "Is it because there are too many people and he is afraid, so he doesn't want to come out?"

Jingye stared at the bathtub thoughtfully.

The water there must be very deep. There was a shadow wandering in the water, and a pair of eyes were staring at them through the water.

Jing Ye's eyes are very special. He can see everything inside the dark palace. The mermaid in the water must have been very scared when she was thrown in, and caused a lot of damage. If it weren't for Xuan Heng's sealing technique, this palace would no longer exist.

"Your Highness, he is a mermaid and has the power to bewitch people. It is better for you to have less contact with him. Put down the things, we should go back." Jing Ye put the things in Lan Ning's hand on the ground not far from the pool, and the person sitting on his arm stuffed him a fist-sized night pearl.

Where did this thing come from? Why didn't I see it just now?

A hint of doubt flashed through Jing Ye's mind, but when he met Lan Ning's beautiful jewel eyes, he forgot the question he was going to ask.

"General, please help me hang this on the beam." Lan Ning pointed to the beam right above the bathtub. She felt that the position was just right.

Jing Ye felt puzzled, "Why?"

Sometimes what the little princess does is really surprising.

Lan Ning said as if it was a matter of course, "Because it's dark, I'm afraid of the dark too! And I see he's not older than me, he must be afraid of the dark too."

What a simple and unpretentious reason.

Jing Ye sighed and obediently helped Lan Ning hang the night pearl on the beam, but he did not let Lan Ning see the tragic situation in the palace. When Lan Ning saw the mermaid emerging from the water, he put her on the ground.

She was not even as tall as the palace window, and even when she stood on tiptoe, people could only barely see a pair of white cat ears.

The mermaid stared coldly at the tall man by the window. He noticed the pair of cat ears. He had seen exactly the same ones during the day. It was Princess Lan Ning, whom Chao Xi wanted him to assassinate.

Before he could say anything, the cat ears disappeared by the window and the window was closed.

He looked up at the night-shining pearl hanging on the beam. This thing was clearly produced from the deep sea, in that extremely cold place, but why did it make him feel extremely warm at this moment?

He couldn't help but stretch out his hand to block the dazzling light, which reminded him of his accidental escape after being imprisoned and tortured, and the rising sun he saw when he was lying on the shallow sea with scars all over his body and drifting.

[Ding——Congratulations on unlocking the fourth target, name: Lingyan, race: Mermaid, initial favorability: 3. ]

[Lingyan Favorability +2, Total Favorability: 5. ]

This familiar reminder made Lan Ning feel better. Of course, it would have been better if she had not returned to the palace with Jing Ye, only to find that the two men who were supposed to be playing chess were standing at the door looking at her meaningfully.

"Do you like that fish?" Xuan Heng already knew what Lan Ning had done with Jing Ye. If he wasn't worried that she was in a bad mood, he would have taken out the fish and cut it into pieces right now.

Lan Ning was like a child who had done something wrong. She stood beside Jing Ye with her head down and said in a muffled voice, "I was wrong."

Xuan Heng was amused by her frankness and leniency. "Do you know who sent it? Do you know what the purpose of that thing is?"

Lan Ning: "He was sent by Furou to...spy on me?"

That vicious woman will only do something more horrible than surveillance!

Xuan Heng stepped forward and flicked her head. "Don't have any more communication with him. I will send someone to send him back in two days. He is in danger."

Lan Ning raised his watery eyes, wrinkled his nose and nodded, "Got it."

The orcs living on land have little opportunity to communicate with the orcs in the deep sea. Although they both worship the Beast God, their styles of doing things are very different.

A long time ago, when Wanjing Kingdom had not yet had any contact with the mermaids, it was common for land orcs to be lured into the sea by the voices of mermaids at the border, and they never came back.

The voice of a mermaid has the natural power to bewitch people.

Thinking of Lan Ning's ears, Xuan Heng emphasized again, "Especially since you have a keen sense of hearing, you should stay away from him."
