Chapter 923 The Snake Demon in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio (19)
The kitten's eyes lit up when it saw the mermaid, "Meow!"
Xiong Bufan: "Keep a low profile." After saying that, he went down and pulled the mermaid out of the water, afraid that it would drown if he waited any longer.
There is no bear in the world more kind and brave than Xiong Bufan.
The kitten wasn't idle either; it fished out the fish, water snake, and some larger shrimp that Xiong Bufan had just stunned from the river. These things could be put together for another meal.
The mermaid stayed in the shade for a quarter of an hour before slowly waking up, her eyes fixed on the tree canopy.
Xiong Bufan and the kitten were grilling fish not far away, and the aroma kept wafting into the mermaid's nose.
"I'm hungry, give me something to eat."
Xiong Bufan was too lazy to argue with the mermaid, so he tossed her a water snake and said, "Eat it."
Upon seeing the water snake, the mermaid was completely terrified. "I don't eat raw food! I want to eat rice! I don't eat snakes!"
"Eat it or don't, it's up to you."
The kitten came over and started munching on the grilled fish, without even looking back.
The mermaid cried out under the shade of the tree a few times, only to find that no one paid any attention to her or even worried about her escaping. She slowly moved in front of Xiong Bufan and said aggrievedly, "I want to eat it cooked."
"Grill it yourself." With that, Xiong Bufan tossed it another stick, clearly telling it to grill the water snake from earlier.
Mermaid: "Uh."
"From now on, you'll work to pay off my debts. Once I get tired of you, you'll be free."
Serving this demon as a servant would mean enduring countless torments, the mermaid thought: "Can I refuse?"
"you guess."
The mermaid seemed to hear Xiong Bufan grinding his teeth and hurriedly said, "It is my honor to serve the true god."
Xiong Bufan looked at the mermaid. She felt that taking the mermaid out on the street was too ostentatious. She reached into her spatial storage, took out a small bottle of magic potion, and poured it into the mermaid's mouth without hesitation.
"This is poison. You will not have your own fish tail until you swallow the antidote."
The mermaid was terrified and struggled to escape, but Xiong Bufan held her firmly in place until her tail completely transformed into two legs.
On the grass, the mermaid looked at her hands and found that the connection between her fingers had disappeared. Then she looked at her white legs, which shone in the sunlight, and couldn't help but scream, "Ahhh, my fishtail!"
Xiong Bufan: "As long as you do a good job, I'll give you the antidote."
"I kill you!"
The mermaid transformed her hands into claws and lunged at Xiong Bufan, only to be kicked away by him without any surprise.
The kitten rushed up and slashed the mermaid a few more times, leaving her face covered in bloody streaks.
Kongkong: "Bufan, did you really give the mermaid poison?"
"No, those were just the potions Ariel and the others left over. I don't know if they were expired or not."
The firelight reflected on Xiong Bufan's face, revealing her sorrow.
The passing of every acquaintance saddens Xiong Bufan, no matter how much time has passed.
Kongkong: "Okay."
The mermaid collapsed under the tree, watching Xiong Bufan's retreating figure, and began to sob. It had finally gained its freedom, but now it was imprisoned again. One day, it would kill all the people or demons who imprisoned it.
Xiong Bufan didn't care what the mermaid thought; he was already lost in his memories.
Everyone was happy back then, with endless mermaid tears, silly fish to play with, their own following fish, and a magic mirror that kept lying...
The kitten returned to Xiong Bufan's side and found that the fish was burnt. Xiong Bufan hadn't flipped it over, so the kitten quickly reminded him, "Meow meow meow!"
Xiong Bufan didn't react, which means he didn't want to be disturbed.
"Meow meow meow!"
Seeing that it was impossible to persuade the kitten, it used its paws to pry the stick used to grill the fish and took it next to itself, then began to gnaw on the fish.
Xiong Bufan remained unresponsive, a smile playing on his lips but a sorrowful expression on his face.
The sun had set, but Xiong Bufan remained the same.
The kitten was a little worried and jumped onto Xiong Bufan's shoulder, pawing at him with its paws.
As a result, Xiong Bufan reached out and grabbed him, saying, "Stop messing around, I just need some peace and quiet."
Kitten: "Meow~"
"We're going back to the city tomorrow, I'm sick of this food."
The mermaid had neither male nor female characteristics, but she just squatted naked next to the fire.
Xiong Bufan looked at the mermaid and scratched his head, finally realizing that mermaids from different worlds develop differently. He tossed the mermaid a set of clothes and said, "Put these on, or you'll get captured and bled dry."
"Could you give me the antidote?"
"No."
The merman hid to the side to put on his clothes, but it turned out that it was his first time being human, so his clothes were a mess, and only his face was somewhat good-looking.
Xiong Bufan: "Adjust your clothes again. You have a lot to learn in the future."
"it is good."
The mermaid was indignant, but as a fish under the eaves, she had no choice but to bow her head.
Kongkong: "Unusual, in this world, mermaids do not have gender before they meet someone or a demon who moves their heart."
Once it's confirmed, it cannot be changed.
"Wow, that's amazing."
After trying to adjust himself for a while, the mermaid was still dressed in a mess. Xiong Bufan couldn't stand it anymore, so he reached out and tore off the mermaid's clothes and took out a new set for him to wear.
This was Xiong Bufan's first time dressing someone up, and Kongkong found it quite novel.
Xiong Bufan: "I'll only teach you this once. Have you learned it?"
"I've learned it."
"Ah."
Xiong Bufan lay on the grass by the fire, looking at the stars. Sometimes she really wanted to go back to the past and be kinder to the Magic Mirror.
The mermaid, dressed in clothes, danced around the fire, finding it all very novel.
The kitten lay down next to Xiong Bufan and yawned; she was also very tired.
The next morning, Xiong Bufan picked up the mermaid, hugged the kitten, and ran quickly towards the capital.
The capital city is under martial law this time. Whether you are going in or out, your travel permit is being strictly checked.
This presented a challenge for Xiong Bufan, but he quickly came up with a solution: fly over and land in a crowded area.
Walking down the street lined with food, Xiong Bufan began to eat and drink to his heart's content.
The mermaid, bewildered, secretly reached out and grabbed Xiong Bufan's sleeve, following him wherever he went.
The kitten stood on Xiong Bufan's shoulder, making full use of its eyes and ears to see in all directions.
This time, Xiong Bufan used the original owner's appearance, so basically no one could recognize her.
In the palace, the emperor was furious, smashing bowl after bowl, followed by endless coughing, as if he were coughing up his lungs.
He only had one day's supply of medicine left, how could he not be anxious?
Xiao Dezi, who usually delivered medicine to the emperor, has been beheaded, and Xiao Dongzi now serves him respectfully.
Xiao Dongzi: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, and the Imperial Medical Academy is full of talented people. They will surely find a new medicinal ingredient!"
The emperor covered his hairy right hand with his sleeve and said, "Tell them to prepare the medicine quickly. For every hour they are late, kill one person, until they exterminate their entire family!"
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty."
