After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

Without her fishtail, she looked like a delicate, refined young lady, no different from any other ordinary human woman.

The millennium-old water-controlling pearl within her body was taking effect. The perfect match of the pearl confirmed to Xia Nianmo that the man before her was the young master Ye she had been longing for.

"Um...maybe they're the same model. The world is so big, is it only possible for that young master Ye to have one?"

Xiao Yu opened his mouth and argued, "It just doesn't sound very confident."

"No...this is different."

She got out of bed, came to Xiao Yu, and stretched out her hand. Compared to humans, her nails were slightly longer, and her fingers were longer than those of humans. There were thin webs connecting her fingers, which were easy to miss if you didn't look closely.

Slender fingers climbed up Xiao Yu's face and easily peeled off the plaster stuck to his face. Looking at that familiar face, Xia Nianmo's eyes softened, and tender feelings seemed to overflow.

There may be many thousand-year-old water-controlling pearls, but Young Master Ye only has one.

The person in front of me is definitely him!

Xia Nianmo thought firmly to herself, and looked at Xiao Yu with deep affection:

"Why won't you admit it? Young Master Ye, so many years have passed, and I never expected to meet you here. You know, I have a lot to say to you, I..."

"Stop, let's stop with the sentimental stuff!"

At the crucial moment, Xiao Yu grabbed her face, interrupting what she was about to say.

The merman's voice was melodious, and when she started to act coquettishly, he couldn't resist. Moreover, the last person who spoke to him like that had already been deliberately punched away by him. If Xia Nianmo did the same again, he was afraid he would instinctively retaliate.

"I have something to discuss with Vice Sect Master Gong. Please wait a moment!"

As he spoke, he pushed Xia Nianmo aside, then turned and went to Gong Wuyao's side, whispering:

"No, Vice Sect Master Gong can't withstand it! How about we just throw her into the Chaotic Sea? She's the female lead, she's bound to be lucky and won't die."

"I already told you to call him Sect Leader Gong. And what's with this 'female lead' thing? Do you think this is a storybook? I was wondering why you seemed so strange from the beginning. Turns out it's because of all the romantic entanglements you've had outside!"

Gong Wuyao covered her forehead, looking like she had a headache. Xiao Yu looked so honest, but she never expected him to have been such a playboy these past few years.

"No, no, no, I am a person of impeccable morals. She is looking for Ye Feng, and it has nothing to do with me, Xiao Yu."

Xiao Yu shook his head, his face serious. He, Xiao Yu, had never stayed out all night on Jumo Island and had never contributed a single penny to brothels. He was a well-known good man.

"Really?" Gong Wuyao narrowed her eyes, looking incredulous. She patted Xiao Yu's shoulder, gesturing for him to look behind him.

?

Xiao Yu turned his head.

Xia Nianmo was staring blankly at Xiao Yu's back, lost in thought. When she saw Xiao Yu turn his head, her face flushed, and she quickly waved her hand, looking every bit like a lovelorn woman seeing her sweetheart.

In her beautiful eyes, there seemed to be faint red hearts flashing.

Merfolk's love at first sight is easy to identify.

hiss……

Xiao Yu turned his head and gasped. Having hearts in one's eyes was no good!

"Sigh! I had some reservations about you being her guide, but since you're an acquaintance of yours, I won't say anything more. You can arrange things as you see fit; I won't interfere."

It's getting late, so I'll head back now. I stayed up too late reading a storybook last night, and I'm exhausted.

I originally took this job because I wanted a relaxed job. It's been many years since any outsiders have come to Jumo Island, but recently one after another, first you, then those guys from the Hundred Flowers Sect. I don't care anymore.

Take her around Demon Island and do some ideological work with her; you'll get a promotion and a raise then!

Oh, by the way, I'm almost finished reading this storybook. If you're going out, remember to buy me the second half!

Gong Wuyao yawned, patted Xiao Yu encouragingly, then picked up the three-tailed yellow fox that was looking at him with disdain, and slowly walked away like a discarded display case.

Xiao Yu: "…………"

Chapter Fourteen, You've Bumped the Wrong Person!

Xiao Yu is feeling very uncomfortable right now. After retiring and returning to Jumo Island, he had begun to live a leisurely and carefree life.

All I need to do is support my apprentices and prune the bamboo forest on the mountain every day. Although there are some financial problems, the spirit stones from selling picture albums are enough to live on for a while.

When he had some free time and felt like it, he would go to a famous restaurant on the island to listen to music and relax. The only way to do this was if someone paid for it. Xiao Yu couldn't afford the high prices at the restaurant, so he always ate at the expense of Leng Jiaozhu and his few cronies.

This kind of life isn't exactly great, but it's leisurely and carefree, without having to think about so many things.

Unlike when the protagonist takes the blame, and you don't have to worry about being beheaded all the time, the plot suddenly changes, the villain suddenly becomes not brainless, he calls on the ascended ancestor behind him, skips the younger one and brings in the older one, and after the older one comes in, the even older one comes in, and just scatters his ashes.

You won't be dragged into all sorts of incidents for no reason, and you won't have to clean up the messes of those annoying female leads.

But with Xia Nianmo's arrival, this leisurely atmosphere was disrupted, like a pebble thrown into a calm pond, creating ripples.

He hadn't expected the female lead to be drawn into the Demon Gathering Island.

Moreover, she was the female lead that Xiao Yu found most troublesome.

none of them.

Xia Nianmo, a merman saintess, is a Golden Core cultivator who specializes in water magic and is skilled in healing.

In the novel, she is portrayed as a gentle, quiet, and elegant woman with a knack for planning and strategizing. But when it comes to Xiao Yu, she seems to have undergone a genetic mutation. I don't know if she bumped her head or got her head caught in the elevator door, but she has changed completely. She is clumsy and can't do anything. Whenever she encounters a problem, she stares at Xiao Yu with those pitiful eyes. She is completely a mascot!

In the story, the two should help each other and overcome countless difficulties, during which they develop feelings for each other.

In reality, Xiao Yu relied entirely on her, this burden, to overcome the three trials of the secret realm that the Merfolk had failed to pass for a century, gritting his teeth and contributing both his wisdom and strength.

Aside from cheering her on from the sidelines, she wasn't of much use; she was just a little accessory, occasionally offering a lap pillow to soothe Xiao Yu's weary soul.

If Xiao Yu hadn't confirmed with Dao repeatedly beforehand, he would have suspected that this guy might also be someone else taking the blame.

Therefore, it is essential to ensure that Xia Nianmo, just like in the storyline, successfully wins the election for the position of Holy Maiden.

Xiao Yu didn't even say hello before starting the machine.

He couldn't carry her, he really couldn't. If she weren't the female lead, Xiao Yu would never want to see her again for the rest of his life.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Now, he not only saw her, but she also clung to him, and he couldn't shake her off.

At this moment, Xia Nianmo, the little burden, was smiling and following Xiao Yu on the way to visit Jumo Island.

"Hehe... I was really scared to death to be in such an unfamiliar place. Luckily, Young Master Ye, you are here too, so I am relieved."

As she spoke, she patted her chest as if to breathe a sigh of relief, a bright smile on her face, two dimples appearing and disappearing at the corners of her mouth, looking adorable and carefree.

Xiao Yu: "…………"

Headache... Looking at Xia Nianmo like this, he didn't want to say anything anymore.

"By the way, Young Master Ye, why did you leave without saying goodbye? We finally made it through three trials, and we haven't even celebrated yet!"

On the way, seeing Xiao Yu whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Xia Nianmo asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time: why did he leave without saying goodbye?

"No... this, Saintess Xia, I think you've misunderstood. I'm not the Young Master Ye you're talking about. We just look a bit alike."

Xiao Yu stubbornly insisted that he still held onto a sliver of hope, trying to convince Xia Nianmo that he wasn't Ye Feng, even though what she said was true.

But you should go find Ye Feng outside!

Why would he need me, this lousy scapegoat? He was just doing someone else's job.

"Why is that, Young Master Ye?"

"I am Xiao Yu, not Ye Feng as you say."

"Oh, I see, Young Master Ye."

"It's Xiao Yu!"

"Yes, Young Master Ye."

Hard!

Xiao Yu hardened his fist; he finally understood how Gong Wuyao had felt before.

This girl is usually quite naive, how come she's so perceptive here?

In the end, he loosened his fist just like Gong Wuyao. Since things had come to this, he would just have to take it one step at a time.

"By the way, when did Young Master Ye arrive at this Demon Gathering Island?" Xia Nianmo asked, looking at Xiao Yu, who seemed to know his way around the island like the back of his hand.

"I have always lived on this Demon-Gathering Island, so how can you say when I came here?"

Xiao Yu continued to play dumb, deceiving himself.

"Young Master Ye, could it be that you lost your memory when you fell on Demon Gathering Island?" Xia Nianmo asked in surprise, her mouth slightly agape. Then, her face flushed, and she began to ramble on, fidgeting.

"Actually, I am your Daoist partner outside, we..."

"Don't talk nonsense, I haven't lost my memory."

"Then why don't you remember me?"

"........."

Yakamashi!

Xiao Yu felt that Xia Nianmo was like a cheerful little sparrow, always flying around his ear, chirping away.

Seeing that Xiao Yu remained silent, Xia Nianmo didn't mind. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she asked the next question.

"Young Master Ye, why does the martial arts master call you Xiao Yu? Is Ye Feng an alias?"

"It's Vice Sect Leader Gong, not Kung Fu. Remember not to say that in front of her in the future. It's better to call her Sect Leader Gong. She may not be very tall, but she holds grudges quite a bit," Xiao Yu said, avoiding the main point and changing the subject.

"is it?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Nianmo lowered her head. Xiao Yu followed her gaze and saw her long, slender, and fair legs. The upper part of her snow-white thighs was plump and fleshy. If there were circles around the flesh, it would completely showcase the charm of her legs.

She walked step by step, her snow-white bare feet touching the ground. She probably rarely walked on land, so her steps were a little awkward, like a toddler learning to walk.

"What's wrong with your legs?" Xiao Yu asked. This was the first time he had seen Xia Nianmo like this. Perhaps because she was in the deep sea before, she didn't need to use her legs. Therefore, Xia Nianmo had always appeared in front of him in the form of a mermaid.

Unlike today, not only has the fish tail turned into legs, but all the scales on its body have also disappeared, making it look completely like a human.

Xia Nianmo raised her head, her delicate eyebrows arching slightly: "Oh? You mean this! This is a secret technique of our Merfolk clan, which allows us to temporarily transform into the appearance of humans on land and walk on the ground."

The price is that you can't speak, otherwise, if you open your mouth, the moisture in your body will evaporate, accelerating water loss. You need to constantly replenish water, otherwise you'll dry out like a fish.

As if recalling that horrific scene, she shivered, and her soft, white breasts swayed.
