Chapter 504 General Zod's Request

"Blow...blow bubbles..."

When Downton asked questions, Tiffany couldn't help but guess what questions Downton might ask.

After all, even though she had only met Downton a few times, she already knew what a big-hearted person Downton was.

It doesn't matter that he talks a lot of nonsense, but what Tiffany fears most is Downton's wild and imaginative brain.

She was afraid that Donton would suddenly get crazy and ask her to do something unacceptable.

But even though she thought she was mentally prepared enough, she was still a little confused when she heard Downton's real question.

Blow bubbles?
I haven't done this kind of thing since I was three years old?

but……

Everything just went through Tiffany's mind for a moment before she blurted out the answer quickly.

"Yes, of course I can. If you want to see it, can I perform in the pond?"

"What?"

Tiffany's straightforwardness made Donton stunned for a moment. He narrowed his eyes and said to Tiffany with a smile.

"No way, no way, sister, do you really like this childish game of blowing bubbles, or are you willing to act like this just to flatter me?
Sister, you look like a green tea girl, but I actually like green tea girls, at least they are more observant of others' expressions~"

As Donton spoke, he came to Tiffany, squatted down and looked at Tiffany's tail.

As he watched, he felt that it was not enough, so he simply reached out and touched Tiffany's tail twice.

This action made Tiffany's muscles tense, and her tail trembled instinctively.

While trying to control her body and stop herself from shaking, Tiffany asked Donton.

"Your Majesty...you..."

"What's wrong? Isn't your tail covered with scales? Could it be that the scales can also feel touch?
Stop it, you may be a mermaid, but mermaids shouldn't have nerves growing in their fucking scales, right?"

Donton interrupted Tiffany with amusement, then gently pinched a slightly loose scale and pulled it off with a whoosh.

Before Tiffany could even think of any romantic thoughts, she felt a pain in her tail.

Then, she looked at the scales that were pulled off by Donton with a confused look on her face, not knowing what she was thinking.

As for Donton, he held the scales in his hand and raised them towards the sun, looking at the color and texture of the scales in the sunlight.

After taking a look, Donton grinned and said.

“Nice fish scales, crystal clear, like the potato chips my mom cuts, translucent.

Oh, by the way, it shouldn't be a big deal if I pull out a piece of your scale, it will grow back when you grow back, right?"

“No…it’s okay, fish scales are just like hair, they will fall off one day even if you don’t pull them out.

Until I get old and close to death, the scales that fall off will always grow back.

If you particularly like my scales, then...is one enough?
I can use my scales to weave a necklace or bracelet for you. I also have a lot of my own scales..."

Tiffany forced herself to smile and responded to Donton, then suppressed her panic and reached out to touch the tail again.

After the brief battle with Floyd, many of Tiffany's scales became loose.

Floyd's attack, which deformed the fish tail exoskeleton, would naturally cause a certain degree of damage to Tiffany's body, as evidenced by the loosened scales.

So, when she touched a scale that felt relatively loose, she raised her hand and pulled out another scale.

Seeing that Tiffany wanted to continue the scaly action, Donton quickly grabbed his wrist and teased with a smile.

"Come on, girl, you're still fucking pulling it out.

Why do I need your scales to make a bracelet? Do I need a fucking necklace? You must be kidding.

The reason why I plucked your scales and took a look at them is that I really like fried fish scales.

I don't mean anything else, and I don't want to eat you.

I just couldn’t resist the temptation when I saw such beautiful and thin scales.”

Having said that, Donton casually moved the scales in Alfred's direction and asked the stunned Alfred.

"Afu, what do you think, can you do it?
You don't have shrimp crackers here, right? But I heard that some Michelin restaurants also have things like fried air, which is similar to the principle of shrimp crackers.

Although these scales are not shrimp chips, they look similar. "Do you want to try making one?"
Spread some chicken paste, coat it with bread crumbs, and fry it in a frying pan. The kids next door might cry out of greed.”

"What???"

Alfred understood what Downton said, but he was still very confused, because even though he had lived with Downton for so long, he really couldn't guess what Downton was thinking.

Eating scales that someone just plucked off or something?

People cannot... at least should not...

What's more, what if the properties of scales are actually similar to toenails?
Is that thing really edible?

Alfred couldn't help but think of this and swallowed hard. He felt that his master was indeed seriously ill.

He kind of regretted taking the job of butler, otherwise, how could he face a master like Downton who could do anything with his wild imagination.

On the other side, watching Alfred swallowing his saliva, Donton raised his scales to him again and said with a smile.

"What? Why are you swallowing your saliva? What, are you greedy too?"

"No way!"

Alfred refuted Donton's words with gritted teeth, almost breaking his teeth.

On the side, feeling Downton's attitude towards her, Tiffany lowered her head with a pale face, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

She realized that Donton didn’t treat her as a woman at all, but just as... a fish!!!

Because of this, what Downton considered was not whether she was pretty, sexy, beautiful, or whether she spoke well.

But...can she eat it...and...is it delicious!!!
But who wants to be a fish!!!
Tiffany shook her tail sadly, with countless complaints in her heart that she wanted to express.

She thought that she would be like the mermaid princess in the story, coming to the ground and having a romantic and touching story with the most powerful king on land.

But the story has now begun to move towards a more curious direction, this, this, this...

Thinking of this, Tiffany gritted her teeth again and rubbed her tail more gently.

Then, she raised her head resolutely, prepared herself mentally to risk it all, and spoke to Donton word by word.

“Your Majesty, I am not delicious, and… even in the seabed, there is no custom of eating human flesh. Even if it is just a scale, no one has ever wanted to swallow us into their stomachs.

Because apart from being eaten, there are so many things we, the merman Atlanteans, can do, and many of them are absolutely impossible for ordinary people to do!
For example...for example..."

At this point, Tiffany's face instantly turned red, causing Donton to stare at her with interest.

Facing Downton's gaze, Tiffany pinched her tail instinctively, while she continued to speak to Downton.

"For example, the boys in the sea, their biggest dream is to marry a mermaid like me and bring him home.

Because, because the boys think that having a merman as a wife would be the happiest thing in the world.

Mr. Tang, do you know dolphins? They...some of their parts can be adjusted freely so that they can adapt to any creature. We mermaids...we mermaids are the same, so our mermaids are the most popular girls in the sea. Your Majesty, please don't think about whether to eat them or not, okay!!!"

After she finished speaking, Tiffany helplessly and shyly covered her face, which was almost steaming, and dared not look at Downton again.

As for Donton, his eyes lit up and he immediately looked back at Tiffany's tail in surprise.

At the same time, everyone around was stunned by Tiffany's words.

As expected, she is the mermaid princess who ran from the bottom of the sea to the land. She has clear thoughts and goals.

While sighing in her heart at the mermaid princess's straightforwardness, Martha smiled, coughed twice, and then spoke to the people around her.

“Okay, guys, it’s time to give the young guys some time and space.

This morning's breakfast tasted good. I ate more than usual, so I should take a walk to digest it.

Alfred, would you like to accompany me to see the pandas? For some reason, one of the pandas has eaten less.

Maybe she's pregnant, so she must need care, let's go."

"Okay, Martha."

Alfred nodded quickly and left without looking back.

At the same time, other people present made the same decision as Alfred.

In the blink of an eye, except for a few maids with rosy faces, only Donton and Tiffany were left present.

This kind of atmosphere also made Tiffany's face even redder.

Donton, despite Tiffany's blushing face and shy eyes, moved closer to her.

As he reached out and touched Tiffany's fish scales, Donton asked while swallowing his saliva.

"Are you serious? You... don't have reproductive isolation from humans? And you're... good at this?"

"Ah... yes... it's true, sir, I didn't lie to you.

Although I have never been in a relationship, my father loves my mother very much. In other families with mermaids, as long as they have a mermaid as their wife, the male head of the family will hardly cheat on his wife, or will only cheat on his wife with another mermaid!

I have discussed this issue with my niece in private, and my maid told me that the reason they don’t cheat is that no ordinary woman can bring them the same happiness as a mermaid…”

As Tiffany spoke, her body couldn't help but tremble violently.

And Donton's hand, which was constantly stroking her tail, gradually shifted its attention from the beautiful big tail fin at the tip of the tail to Tiffany's perfectly proportioned waist and hips.

The fish scales are slightly hard, but actually warm and smooth to the touch.

Donton nodded, then sat down on Tiffany's sofa unceremoniously, put one arm around her waist, and played with her trembling tail with the other hand.

"He went to all that trouble to come to land to seduce me, and Floyd nearly killed him for it.

Tiffany, right? Would you mind telling me what exactly you want?
If you want to be my only woman, let me be like those men in your sea who are controlled by mermaids, and gradually obey you or just pamper you.

Stop it, little girl. You haven't even learned how to seduce someone. Although you hit the ball straight, the more you do this, the more boring it is.

In this regard, I recommend that you learn from my maid, He Tong.

That woman not only has a pair of long legs that can step into your heart, but also has an icy attitude that can be so arrogant that it can reach your heart.

You have to learn from her what kind of women are easily pursued by men, haha~"

Having said that, Downton raised his hand and pointed to a villa across the pond, and continued to speak to Tiffany.

"It's a pity that you can't see it, that woman has woken up a long time ago and was eavesdropping on me just now.

But when she heard me mention her, she immediately became furious. Did you see this contrast? Learn from it.

What is worth chasing is not a super useful body, but an interesting soul, little girl.

But, haha, if you have time, let’s try the gameplay you mentioned together.

As for your demands when you come to land, as long as they are not big, I think I will be able to solve them.

Mermaid, haha, after hearing what you said, I actually want to try it, looking forward to it~"

Whizzing! ! !

Just as Donton said this, two sonic booms suddenly appeared above the manor, interrupting Donton's words.

Then, in front of the surprised and shy mermaid, General Zod and Fiona fell heavily on the grass of Downton.

With the rolling of grass and the stirring of soil, the two men stood up after landing, and then immediately touched Donton's chest with one hand as a sign of courtesy.

Then, General Zod brought Fiona to Donton and spoke softly.

"Good morning, great Mr. Tang."

"Alright, alright, stop flattering me. You have no experience in flattery, let alone the level of flattery, so just stop it. It's embarrassing.

Let’s get down to business.”

Donton let go of the little mermaid, then waved to Zedd and the other man, indicating that they should sit down by themselves.

Seeing that Donton was moving a little away from her, Tiffany, who was burning with heat, quickly pulled back her tail. But as soon as she dodged it, she felt something was missing, so she couldn't help but put her tail back on Donton's legs.

While playing with his tail, Donton spoke to the two people who were already sitting down.

"Have you two eaten breakfast?"

"what?"

Zod was stunned. Why did he care about this?

Although confused, Zod quickly replied.

"We've already eaten, Mr. Tang, and I didn't come here to have dinner with you.

I just... Well, I'm sorry, Mr. Tang.

Even though I searched for a whole day, I couldn't find the striker from Apocalypse. He hid himself so well that I thought it would be hard to pull him out of the corner unless I caused some damage to the planet."

"Okay, I get it, but no, destroying the planet is unacceptable, and it goes against my plan.

I don’t give a fuck about industrial progress. What I want to do next is to eliminate half of the world’s most polluting companies to restore the earth’s ecology.

Well, this is just a plan, let’s not talk about that.

Let's get back to the two of you. Not being able to find the guy from Apocalypse is a trivial matter. Isn't it worth it for you two to come and see me specially?

Just state your demands directly.”

"Well."

General Zod nodded, then spoke tentatively to Donton.

"Mr. Tang, the reason I came to see you is to ask you for something.

I was thinking... since it's so hard for us to find the guys from Apocalypse, can I deploy half of my forces into the universe and try to find the lair of Apocalypse?
Of course, I will ask them to look for the lost cities on our Krypton and the at least 100,000 people in them while searching for Apokolips.

This is my request, Mr. Tang!"
