The young man who initially stared at them with beast-like eyes suddenly froze, then he lifted his chin and started sniffing the air.
His gaze fell on Bai Lixin. He tilted his head, his eyes filled with curiosity.
After pondering for two seconds, Bai Lixin’s eyes subtly changed. While the young man scrutinized him, he also began to assess the young man from head to toe. He had chestnut hair, blue eyes, and looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.
His gaze finally settled on the young man’s legs.
“Xia Chi,” Bai Lixin spoke gently, “If I’m not mistaken, this young man should be… a merman.”
Xia Chi: “?”
What?
Bai Lixin unconsciously touched the back of his neck.
There, he had been bitten by Dijia, completing the mark of merfolk. The scent of this mark probably confused the person in front.
Under the young man’s wary gaze, Bai Lixin voluntarily relaxed his tensed body and walked towards him.
Xia Chi subconsciously wanted to stop him but dropped his hand when he thought about who it was.
Seeing Bai Lixin approach, the young man hesitated for two seconds and then slowly moved forward.
The two quickly approached each other, until they were face to face.
The young man stood on his tiptoes, sniffed a few times near Bai Lixin’s shoulder, then suddenly withdrew. He then raised his harpoon and danced around the monster.
After circling the monster twice, the young man returned to Bai Lixin, then suddenly opened his arms, giving Bai Lixin a big hug. With a cold cheek pressed against Bai Lixin’s, he warmly rubbed against him.
The manner and actions were like a trained dog enthusiastically greeting someone.
Bai Lixin: “…”
Are merfolk always this enthusiastic?
Is it because of Dijia’s mark, or is it the merfolk’s nature? Or is it the special aura on him that attracts merfolk?
Bai Lixin pushed away the enthusiastic little merman, his gaze once again falling on his legs, sinking into thought.
So, in the setting of this copy, merfolk can actually turn their tails into legs?
If so, perhaps he could change his strategy for the escape plan?
The little merman remained exceptionally enthusiastic when facing Bai Lixin. After being pushed away, instead of dampening his enthusiasm, he became even more eager. He pointed to his own legs and then to Bai Lixin’s legs, exclaiming, “Yiya~”
Bai Lixin hadn’t figured out what the little merman meant when he saw the merman pull up his arm earnestly.
He was wearing a long-sleeved gray shirt today, with sleeves firmly locked at the wrists, hiding the entire arm inside. Lowering his head, Bai Lixin saw the little merman impatiently focusing on his sleeve, his fingers fumbling around as if trying to undo it.
But the little merman probably hadn’t seen clothes before, and after pulling for a while, he couldn’t open it.
Seeing the little merman’s hurried movements, Bai Lixin suddenly realized what he wanted to do.
He voluntarily unbuttoned and rolled up both sleeves, revealing his arms to the little merman.
The little merman quickly pulled Bai Lixin’s arm, running his fingers around the wrist before letting go. His previously anxious expression relaxed.
Bai Lixin: “…”
Was he looking for a bracelet?
It seems like he wanted to help him take off the bracelet.
“Don’t worry,” regardless of whether the merman could hear him, Bai Lixin rubbed the merman’s messy hair, “I’m not bound by any restraints.”
