Chapter 124 Confrontation! Snake vs Mermaid
Youson didn’t know when he came down from the attic. There was no light at the stairwell, only the fireplace by the window in the living room cast a dim, warm orange shadow.
He leaned against the wall, his ice-blue eyes like a quiet lake, without any ripples. He looked at the man who appeared in the video and spoke indifferently.
"who is he?"
Three simple words, but they sounded like frost falling on the neck, and Yu Zhizhi couldn't help but wince.
"D-Duke." She responded quietly.
When the Duke saw the intrusion of other male figures in the video, he lazily raised his hand and tapped the butterfly-wing-like communicator hanging on his ear: "Take it off and switch to a foreign voice."
he reminded the little rabbit.
Yu Zhizhi said softly "Oh", she took off her headset and switched to amplification according to the Duke's wishes.
"Good evening, little one." The Duke's voice fell on their ears through the video.
He gently rolled a handful of tobacco with his fingers, a slight smile in his golden vertical eyes, and a very light voice, but it sounded extremely sarcastic.
Yu Zhizhi was stunned.
She originally thought that the "little guy" in the Duke's mouth was calling her, but she found that his eyes fell behind her in the video——
The mermaid leaning against the wall had a gloomy look in his eyes. It was obvious that he hated this title.
"Old thing."
He fought back not to be outdone.
——Duke, Yossen knew from the beginning.
The little female had also talked to him on the phone before. Yossen had only guessed which duke from the Valoran Empire it was. Today, when he saw his evil snake eyes in the video, Yossen instantly understood the identity of the other person.
Duke of Platinum.
Yousen had heard these four words when he was very young.
He is the most famous male of the Serpent Tribe, the brains of the Valoran Empire, and their strongest fortress.
Rumor has it that as long as he is around, Valoran's imperial capital cannot be breached.
Valoran will always stand at the top of civilization.
Hearing the mermaid's counterattack, the Duke was not angry at all. He even laughed softly: "Not bad, very energetic."
Snap.
A lighter lights the tobacco in the pipe.
The Duke leaned lazily on the back of his chair, surrounded by smoke, his golden vertical pupils flickering, and his voice was low and hoarse——
"Good boy, play in the park for a while. When you get tired, tell me and I will take you home."
When he said this, there was a hint of smile in his tone, full of the tolerance and pampering of a mature male towards his partner.
Yu Zhizhi was a little absent-minded. She hadn't heard the Duke call her that for a long time.
How could Yusen not understand what the snake meant?
It was as if he was just an entertainer that Little Rabbit found in the Lost Tower, just for fun. She would eventually go home and fall into the arms of the python.
Thinking of that scene, Yossen felt a dull pain in his chest.
He gritted his teeth slightly: "It's just an old love, why are you so proud?"
New love and old love, it's obvious that he is the little rabbit's favorite male at the moment. He has always been by the little female's side.
The Duke's jawline tightened slightly, and his snake eyes revealed a dangerous light, as if he was lurking in the dark and ready to kill his prey at any time.
Haha, old love?
These two words stung the Duke deeply.
Even though he didn't want to admit it, the fact was that the little rabbit just abandoned him and ran away after giving birth!
She is now in a paradise, raising a beautiful mermaid and enjoying the service of a handsome butler. If it weren't for the snake cub, she would have forgotten all about him!
The air pressure on both sides is extremely low. If it weren't for the screen, I'm afraid the smoke would have filled the air by now.
Yu Zhizhi looked at the Duke and then at Yousen behind him——
She didn't know why, they always spoke in tit-for-tat terms?
The Duke's golden vertical eyes were cold, but he seemed to have thought of something, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "I almost forgot."
He turned the delicate pen in his left hand.
"Say hello to your brother for me. I haven't seen him for so many years. His viciousness... no, his charm is still the same as before."
Hearing the word "brother", Yousen's eyes suddenly burst into murderous intent. He slowly clenched his hands into fists at his sides. This seemed to be the person he least wanted to mention. The Duke sneered in his heart, this newly adult mermaid was still too immature after all.
As if sensing the change in the mermaid's mood, Yu Zhizhi looked at him a little worriedly. The boy's pale face was bloodless, as if his heart had been pierced, and his lips were slightly white.
She suddenly couldn't bear it.
elder brother?
The mermaid has a brother?
Yu Zhizhi gently hooked his finger and looked up into his watery eyes, full of worry.
"How are you?"
The mermaid lowered her eyes and looked at the little female sitting on the steps, feeling the warmth from her fingertips as she stroked away the ice on his heart.
He realized that he had lost his temper.
This is the last thing Yusen wants to mention.
When he realized that the snake in the video was still looking at them——
There was a hint of resentment in the eyes that he raised again.
He changed his appearance.
This is what mermaids do best.
They are born to use their suffocatingly beautiful appearance to pretend to be pitiful to gain the sympathy of females.
Yousen slowly squatted down. There were two steps between him and the little female.
The young man's eyes were lowered, as if he had been greatly hurt.
"I'm fine."
Yu Sen replied like this, which made Yu Zhizhi even more worried. She focused all her attention on the merman, hooked her hand on his and slowly tightened it.
"I want to go back to the attic." Yossen said with a hint of begging in his tone, "Please stay with me, okay?"
Yu Zhizhi looked at him blankly.
In the video, the Duke watched the mermaid's performance coldly.
His fingertips were pale as he squeezed the pen tightly.
The Duke could clearly see the little female's hand taking the initiative to hold it. She was so caring and innocent, and could easily be seduced by the mermaid.
——This damn hybrid of human and shark.
Relying on the human blood in the genes, it can make females feel safe and close.
This is something no male from other groups can do.
Rabbit females are inherently timid and can't help but run away and hide at the slightest sign of disturbance. She often trembles when facing snakes.
But facing the mermaid——
Not a trace of fear could be seen.
Although the news is full of images of mermaids killing their keepers. But the females always fail to remember, and are willing to raise mermaids one after another.
So does the bunny.
The Duke forced down the strong sourness in his heart, and he slowly said: "...Little Amon is awake."
Eh? !
Yu Zhizhi quickly turned around and looked at the video. The Duke in the picture looked calm, not as lazy as usual, nor as prickly as before.
He was just saying a perfectly normal thing.
No personal emotions.
The Duke's golden vertical pupils fell on the little pet's face through the video.
——Choose.
Should I go with the mermaid or stay?
