Cannon fodder She is targeted by yanderes in every dimension

Chapter 406: Cannon fodder merman in ancient Chinese literature 2

*

"This mermaid woman is a gift from this humble official to the young marquis!"

Lord Tang smiled, and then said respectfully:

"We caught it this evening. The people who transported it and took care of it were all women. No men were involved. I guarantee that it is a clean gift that belongs exclusively to you, young marquis."

Lu Jingzhi's face was expressionless, but his beautiful eyes were still fixed on the mermaid woman in the water coffin.

She seemed a little scared and uneasy. She moved awkwardly in the water coffin, looking at Lu Jingzhi timidly with her bright eyes.

Lord Tang was afraid that this young nobleman from the capital would be dissatisfied, so he quickly said:

"Don't worry, young marquis. Not only other men, but even I have never touched a hair of this mermaid. You can take her with confidence. After all, this mermaid is something you can only encounter once in a while!"

Mr. Tang spent a lot of money this time. He originally chose a happy girl and planned to send it to the little Marquis' bed.

But he thought that he was from the capital and had a distinguished family background, so he might not be interested in people of low status. Maybe he had a very good taste, but he looked around but couldn't find a very beautiful person...

As a result, he accidentally captured this mermaid in the evening. Seeing its beautiful appearance, he originally wanted to have it sent to his mansion for his own enjoyment.

But remembering that the Inspector would be arriving in Liangzhou City tonight, Lord Tang had asked the woman to escort and take care of the mermaid, fearing that if something went wrong, this "gift" would not be delivered!

He also wanted to use this opportunity to get closer to Lu Jingzhi and curry favor with him, so as to avoid the investigation being linked to him...

As for this beautiful mermaid, Lord Tang glanced at Yun Wu quietly, his eyes full of greed.

If Lu Jingzhi didn't want it, then he would have no qualms about turning this beautiful mermaid into a member of his mansion, which wouldn't be a loss...

Just as Lord Tang was looking at Yun Wu with greed and lust on his face, he suddenly noticed the look in Lu Jingzhi's eyes.

He didn't know when he had turned his head to look at him, and those eyes made Lord Tang feel inexplicably uneasy.

"You go out first."

Lu Jingzhi said this, Lord Tang was stunned at first, then he nodded and bowed and retreated quickly.

When he left, he felt a little sorry. It was a pity that the young marquis seemed to have accepted the gift. His plan to take a merman concubine would have to be abandoned...

The only people left in the dormitory were Lu Jingzhi and the delicate mermaid lying in the water coffin.

Yun Wu felt a little scared. As she watched the human man approaching step by step, her eyes flickered nervously.

"What's your name?"

Lu Jingzhi's voice was low. He took two steps forward. The robe embroidered with intricate patterns on his body made him look particularly unattainable.

The mermaid in the water coffin looked at him timidly, opened her pink lips but dared not speak.

The beautiful fish tail under her swayed twice, like a fishhook, hooking Lu Jingzhi's heart.

Lu Jingzhi's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were lowered as he stared at her deeply.

"Little mute."

Yun Wu found that he thought she couldn't speak. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly saw the man lean over and stretch out his hand towards her.

She lowered her eyes slightly and her eyelashes trembled in fear, but Lu Jingzhi carried her out of the water coffin.

"It's mine..."

Lu Jingzhi said in a deep voice, holding the merman in his arms. The merman had beautiful facial features, most of her long wet hair stuck to her body, and she blinked her hazy and timid eyes, not daring to look at him.

I don't know what her clothes are made of, but they are as soft as water. And the beautiful fish tail in Lu Jingzhi's hand feels warm and slightly cool to the touch.

Lord Tang and the two guards Du Zhong and Du Song, who were waiting at the door, heard the sound of the door opening.

Then Lu Jingzhi came out, holding someone in his arms, but his whole body was wrapped in his black cloak, with the brim of the cloak covering his head.

It was so tightly wrapped that not even a strand of hair was visible.

"Little Marquis..."

Du Zhong bowed and looked at the person in Lu Jingzhi's arms with some confusion.

"My Lord, are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?"

Lord Tang asked tentatively. Lu Jingzhi's eyes were deep, and he looked at Lord Tang as if he could see through his thoughts.

He raised a casual smile at the corner of his lips, and then said slowly:

"Lord Tang is thoughtful, but... I don't want too many people to know about this."

"Don't worry, young master!"

Lord Tang felt that his plan had succeeded and did not notice the cold look Lu Jingzhi gave him.

"Prepare the carriage and return to the palace."

Lu Jingzhi spoke concisely. Although Du Zhong and Du Song had not yet figured out the situation, they still followed Lu Jingzhi and left after hearing what he said.

"I hope that the young marquis will have a smooth inspection of Liangzhou City. If you need anything, please let me know!"

Lord Tang spoke loudly from behind, and his face fell only after they walked away.

His personal servants put an expensively crafted garment on Lord Tang and put jewels on his hands.

"Alas, what a pity. The mermaid is of top quality. Whatever, as long as she can help me, that's fine."

Lord Tang shook his head twice and said, then he quickly ordered his followers to quietly go to the brothel to pick two beautiful women and send them to his room.

The Liangzhou City Palace was built many years ago when the emperor went on inspection tour. This time Lu Jingzhi came to inspect, and the emperor specially allowed him to live in the palace.

Inside the side hall of the palace, Yun Wu was carried by that man to the bed.

She looked around this strange place somewhat uncomfortably, sitting on the black cloak spread on the bed, her cheeks as rosy and white as a peach.

Yun Wu's beautiful fish tail seemed out of place on the bed, and she looked at Lu Jingzhi timidly.

She was afraid that this human man would slice her up and cook her like a fish...

"Sir, my name is Yun Wu..."

She spoke first, perhaps because she hadn't spoken for a long time, her voice was soft and slightly trembling.

Lu Jingzhi was startled for a moment, but quickly recovered his composure. He walked over and looked down at the girl sitting on his cloak.

His eyes were fixed on her beautiful fish tail that was glowing with light.

It was clearly the first time that Lu Jingzhi saw this mermaid girl, but deep down he suddenly had some thoughts that he had never had before.

The desire to bully someone severely...

Maybe it was because he looked too cold and solemn. Yun Wu felt very scared when he looked at her, and her fish tail shook nervously.

As luck would have it, the fish's tail swung and touched Lu Jingzhi's palm. She hurriedly tried to pull it back, but unexpectedly the man quickly pulled it back and grabbed the beautiful fish's tail.

"Can your fish tail turn into legs? Otherwise...it will be difficult for you to even walk."

"I want to change, but I can't..."

Yun Wu's eyes were slightly red and she was about to cry. This was her first time to go ashore today and she was caught.

She didn't know anything, she only knew how to hide in the seabed and swim around every day relying on pearl shells.

It would indeed be much more convenient if she grew legs, but she had never asked the elders about this before, so she didn't know anything about it.

"I've read in ancient books before that there is a way to transform a mermaid's tail into legs..."

Lu Jingzhi said in a deep voice. There was a hint of curiosity in Yun Wu's slightly red eyes as she stared at him blankly.

At the time, Lu Jingzhi did not take the contents of the book seriously, thinking it was just a bizarre legend. But now it is different...

Lu Jingzhi would never have considered such an inappropriate thing in the past, but now his eyes wavered and his gaze fell on Yun Wu's pink and tender lips.

Yun Wu was just about to ask what the method was when suddenly the handsome man in front of her came closer.

The slightly cool thin lips followed and pressed on...
