Chapter 543 - Guest From The Sea (2/2)

Lonemoon thought for a moment before standing up and saying, “I’ll go alone.” Then turned back to look at Chef, instructing, “Keep an eye on Shen Ying.”

“Mm.” Chef nodded.

He then turned and walked out.

Whereas that girl was taken aback for a moment and glanced at the three of them back and forth. Shouldn’t he be keeping an eye on those unconscious culprits? Why was he keeping an eye on this lady?

Father Niu left for more than four hours, Shen Ying got hungry as she waited. Chef was bored of idling around and went into the kitchen to make supper.

All at once, it was only Shen Ying and the girl who survived. It was instantly quieter in the yard, only left with the sound of a certain person crunching on fruits and occasional clatters of cooking utensils in the kitchen.

“Want one?” Shen Ying handed a fruit out.

The girl faltered and hesitated for a moment before taking it. “Thank you.” Perhaps because of the fright from earlier, there was still a trace of terror in her eyes as she asked carefully, “May I know how to address you?”

“Shen Ying.”

“So it’s Miss Shen, my name is Fang Fang.”

“Mm.”

“May I ask what you and your companions are in Wu Ling City for?”

“I don’t know.”

“Huh?” Fang Fang was stunned, what was I don’t know? She paused for a moment, but was nonchalant about it and continued to make some casual conversation. Seeing that Shen Ying was focused on eating her fruit, she felt too awkward to ask anything else. Things turned cold at once. She instantly felt restless and said after some thought. “It is cold tonight, why don’t… I go brew a pot of tea.”

“Sure,” Shen Ying answered while nodding.

She then stood up and walked towards the front yard.

Shen Ying was the only person left in the big yard, Chef wasn’t done with the supper and she was slightly bored from waiting. On top of that, this city was built beside a river and connected to the sea, the other side of this yard was a riverside view, and a breeze would blow occasionally, faintly bringing a sharp whisper, as if someone was singing softly.

Shen Ying was stunned for a moment and instinctively looked back, a figure had dubiously appeared on the rocks by the river. It was a man with dark green hair, his features were beautiful, wearing nothing on the top, but his bottom half was a huge fish’s tail. He was seated on a rock beside the river, singing in a low voice while throwing charming smiles at her.

Shen Ying only took a glance, then turned back and continued to nibble on her fruit.

The man faltered for a moment, as if surprised by her reaction. Following that, he opened his mouth and sang even louder than before, his voice touched one’s heart and made one lose their reason like an enchanting song.

Shen Ying fell into a momentary daze and turned back to dart a look at him before continuing to eat her fruit.
