Lanning walked around the palace and finally set his sights on the roof.

Inside this palace is a bathhouse that Xuan Heng built specially for her. No one knows what Xuan Heng's idea was at the time, but there is nothing else in the entire palace except this bathhouse, which is convenient for Ling Yan.

Since she couldn't get through the doors and windows, she jumped off the roof.

Lan Ning had an idea. She glanced at the basket in her hand, then looked up at the roof. The next second, she stuffed the things into the hands of the puppet maid and said, "Come with me and give the things to the people inside."

Xuan Heng's instructions to the puppet palace maid were to protect Lan Ning's safety and prevent her from doing dangerous things, which also included obeying Lan Ning's orders.

Just send things in, in accordance with the above commands.

The puppet maiden took the things and followed Lanning, and they jumped onto the roof together.

Lan Ning's cat ears swayed, searching for the direction where Ling Yan might be. After a moment, she lifted some tiles and looked down.

She could see the night-shining pearls hanging from the beams and the food box beside the bathtub, but she couldn't see the beautiful little fish.

Lanning thought for a moment, then she whispered, "Are you there?"

The bathtub below did not change at all, not even a ripple on the water. Instead, the puppet palace maid beside Lan Ning used the shawl on her body to deliver the things Lan Ning had given her.

The basket was gently placed on the ground, shaking the water in the bathtub. Gradually, the ripples became bigger and bigger, and a wet golden head emerged from the center of the pool.

Ling Yan is very sensitive to sounds. Even through various sealing techniques, he can clearly hear the movements outside.

The cat-eared girl with eyes like clear gems came, and she came secretly. He heard the sound of tiles above his head, and soon something new came down from above.

It smells like food, very fragrant.

Lingyan stared at the basket at the source of the fragrance, his lake blue eyes extremely focused, but he still remembered the cat-eared girl above his head who was waiting for his reply.

He slowly raised his head and looked at the strong light source. He still remembered the girl's damaged face.

It was probably the ugliest creature he had ever seen. Even the ugliest in his tribe was prettier than her. But he didn't feel disgusted at all. Moreover... in the sunlight, she was more beautiful than him and the tide.

"My name is Lan Ning." Lan Ning finally saw the beautiful little fish. She admired the mermaid's superior appearance in her heart. "I also know your name is Ling Yan."

Her voice was sweet and soft, with a hint of crispness, and she seemed very happy.

Ling Yan stared at the face. His fish tail hidden in the water was shaking restlessly, causing ripples on the calm water surface.

"I don't know what you like, so I'll bring you everything I think is good." Lan Ning pursed his lips, "If there is anything you don't like, you can tell me and I will change it for you."

Ling Yan tilted his head. He hadn't even seen many good things in the sea, let alone on land.

Why was this little princess, whom he had never met, so kind to him? Was it because of the tide?

That hypocritical man.

Ling Yan's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, "I am a pawn, sent by Chao Xi to monitor you."

"I know." Lan Ning silently looked at the boy's fragile face. In fact, only after looking carefully did she discover the difference between Ling Yan and Chao Xi.

Lingyan had an androgynous face with delicate features that looked like a work of art carved by God himself. If it weren't for his short golden hair, Lan Ning would probably have mistaken him for a woman.

He is thinner than the tide, but also more beautiful than the tide.

He didn't have the ability to protect himself, so he was chosen by the tide to be a pawn.

"What did he promise you?" Lan Ning asked while lying on the roof.

The voice of a mermaid can control hallucinations in living things, and the more powerful ones can even modify the memory of living things. Although Perfect Xiaoliu said that as a mermaid he can resist part of it, it is only part of it.

Lan Ning couldn't guarantee whether Ling Yan's memory had been modified.

"He asked me to kill the person who made Furou sad." Ling Yan looked at Lan Ning quietly, "After the task is completed, I will be free again."

Don't be coerced by anyone, go somewhere else and live your own life.

Lanning smiled and said, "Now you know that you can't accomplish this."

Lingyan lowered his head in silence.

Yes, there are too many powerful men around Lan Ning. If the other party did not take the initiative to ask to see him, he would not even be able to see Lan Ning.

Moreover, even if he really had the ability to kill Lan Ning, he would never be able to leave the palace. Those men would kill him even if they chased him to the ends of the earth.

"Do you want me?" Ling Yan raised his head and smiled sadly, "I want to live and kill those who bully me."

Lan Ning: "It depends on your performance."

She really likes powerful targets, and it's also nice to have a development-oriented one once in a while.

But he can't get it so quickly. The best thing about the training system is that it can tame a rebellious and naive little guy into someone who completely obeys her.

After returning to the palace, Lan Ning calmed down and continued to practice calligraphy.

"Master, why don't you strike while the iron is hot and conquer Lingyan directly?" Perfect Xiaoliu was still looking forward to his host taking the Little Mermaid into his possession.

Lan Ning: "He's not stupid, and he needs to fight for what he needs. What do you think he can do to help me at the moment?"

She is indeed lustful and likes good-looking men, but if it doesn't help her career at all, then what's the point of doing it?

The premise of development is that he is worthy of your investment, otherwise it is okay to give up this target.

Perfect Xiaoliu: "Oh~ I understand, but if you keep him locked up like this, won't it backfire?"

Lan Ning smiled and said, "Mermaids are very sensitive to sound. I have provided him with a safe enough environment. He will figure out his own desires and understand what is the best choice for him."

At this point, Lan Ning thought of something else. She put down her pen and told Perfect Xiaoliu, "Please monitor his movements for me. Mermen should use sound waves to transmit messages. If you find anything, please remind me."

She found that Xuan Heng had gradually become more tolerant towards the other two men around her recently.

This is a good sign. Maybe she can try to increase the favorability growth, but...who should start first?

Lan Ning lowered her eyes and thought. She was facing the copybook, and to outsiders it seemed that she was examining it seriously. Only when Xuan Heng and Xuan Mo came in did she slowly come back to her senses.

Her cat ears twitched slightly, and she turned her head and smiled happily, "You guys are back, are you done with everything?"

Seeing her well-behaved appearance, Xuan Heng's cold face was filled with tenderness. He strode to Lan Ning's side and looked down at the calligraphy in front of Lan Ning. "Well, how about practicing calligraphy today?"

It's square and looks better than yesterday.

Xuan Mo also came over to take a look and praised, "That's progress, very good."

Lanning stood up and put his hands on his hips. "I will write better tomorrow!"
