Chapter 1327: The Mermaid Princess (26)

After hearing that, Qiao Chen had already begun planning what kind of jewelry or beautiful dresses he should buy for Tang Guo.

Seeing the thoughts written plainly across his face, Fuya felt miserable.

They had met first, so why had Qiao Chen fallen in love with A Guoguo at first sight?

What she didn't say was that A Guoguo was the daughter of the Merfolk King. What gemstone could she possibly lack?

The priceless jewels treasured by humans were nothing more than ordinary stones in the eyes of the merfolk.

Many of A Guoguo's dresses were adorned with rare diamonds and gemstones, each one a priceless treasure. Even Fuya herself possessed many such jewels. Though they couldn't compare with A Guoguo's collection, she was still wealthier than most members of the merfolk race.

Meanwhile, Yin Yao had already decided to leave school early that day.

After attending one class in the afternoon, he went to find the teacher in charge and calmly offered to answer any questions they wished to test him with, because he intended to leave early.

Ten minutes later, he passed without issue. Though his expression remained as indifferent as ever, he was actually in an excellent mood.

That mood lasted until he reached the school gates and saw the girl sitting on her bicycle, holding two ice creams and smiling sweetly as she waited for him.

"Senior, aren't we fated?"

"Let's go."

Since they had already run into each other, Yin Yao wasn't the sort of person who would awkwardly avoid her.

Besides, he didn't actually dislike spending time with her.

What troubled him was that lately he had become strange. He kept listening to a fish.

That was truly damaging to his dignity.

If the members of his clan found out, who knew what they'd gossip about behind his back.

He didn't care about that.

What he cared about was what method this fish had used to make him unconsciously follow her rhythm.

So he intended to use his spare time to investigate and find out why.

"Senior, do you want one?" Tang Guo held out an ice cream to him.

Seeing her greedy little expression, Yin Yao quickly shook his head. "You eat it."

"You should eat it. One hand is holding an ice cream, and the other has to steer. It's inconvenient."

"Then I'll hold one for you. Finish the one you're eating first, and then eat the other one."

The words left his mouth before he even had time to think.

Yin Yao: ???

System burst into laughter. Hahaha! His face is full of disgust, but his heart is so honest. This guy is ruthless enough to place that kind of restriction on himself.

"Then thank you, Senior."

That sweet, sticky voice stirred up a strange feeling in Yin Yao's heart.

He put his schoolbag into the basket on his bicycle. One hand held her ice cream while the other controlled the handlebars, and the two of them rode off in the same direction.

Sensing that the ice cream would soon melt, he inexplicably used divine power to preserve it and prevent it from melting.

He had to be crazy.

This fish must be poisonous.

He was actually expending divine power to freeze ice cream for her.

She must have poisoned him.

Once he had the chance, he would definitely investigate what kind of poison she had used on him.

She was a gluttonous fish, a talkative fish, a prideful fish, a lying fish, and an insidious fish.

Halfway home, Tang Guo finished one of the ice creams and happily stretched out her hand.

"Senior, thank you very much."

Yin Yao handed her the other ice cream.

"Senior, your ice cream didn't melt at all. That just goes to show how good your character is."

Tang Guo's compliments came one after another without pause.

Yin Yao couldn't help laughing helplessly.

Just what kind of fish was she?

He refused to believe that she didn't know he was one of the sea clans.

He had used divine power so obviously, yet she acted as though she were blind to it.

And she actually said it was because he had good character?

But why did hearing that make him feel strangely happy?
