Chapter 206 A complete show
The faint fragrance coming from the ends of her hair hit Luo Huazhou's nostrils, and it smelled unexpectedly good. Perhaps it was because she took good care of herself on a daily basis, her body smelled sweet, unlike some female fish species, which had a fishy smell all over their bodies.
Luo Huazhou's eyes were blurred for a moment. He curled his thin lips and slowly loosened his hands on her waist, showing a gesture of surrender.
"I did not break the agreement. This was all an accident."
E Ling quickly climbed up from him, "I, I didn't say I blame you..."
E Ling picked up the pearl that fell on the ground and put it aside uncomfortably. Was it an illusion? I always felt that the atmosphere was so awkward...
Luo Huazhou seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and he stopped arguing about getting the pearl back. He just said to her, "It's getting late. You orcs on land all need to rest at night, right? Go to sleep quickly. Since you are a female, I will let you sleep on my bed."
He pointed to a huge shell bed displayed in the corner. It was padded with soft and cool cushions and dotted with many glowing gems and rare pearls. One glance at it revealed that it was luxurious and extraordinary.
"Where do you sleep?" E Ling couldn't help but ask.
Although the soft shell bed was more than enough for one person to sleep on, it would be a bit difficult to fit two people, not to mention that even if Luo Huazhou was willing, she would not agree.
"I will not sleep tonight."
E Ling: “?”
Although fishes’ sleep patterns are quite fragmented, it’s okay for them not to rest at night. But it’s so late, they can’t go out, and they won’t sleep, so what can they do?
"Of course I have to find a way out! I am not the kind of person who will just sit there and wait for death. Besides, do you really intend to wait until my mother arranges the couple-binding ceremony before going out? Then you will have no choice but to turn your fake act into reality."
"What are you going to do?"
"There is a secret door in the room, but it has not been used for a long time. I have to study it carefully tonight. Don't worry about it. Go and have a rest. You don't have to help me. I am not weak enough to let the female sacrifice her rest time to help me."
Luo Huazhou patted the rough stone wall, indicating that the secret door was there.
But to the naked eye, it was just an ordinary wall. There was no trace of a secret door, and no one knew where the mechanism was hidden.
"Well, have you ever thought about...what if you get out and your mother finds every opportunity to lock us up?"
"You can't stay here just because of this, right?" Luo Huazhou spread his hands and said, "Besides, it's not that difficult. I've just thought of a perfect way out of this situation, but I need you to bear with it a little."
Luo Huazhou looked at her with a sly smile.
E Ling: “???”
Why does it feel like she's the unlucky one again?
"It's very simple. You can just pretend to be sick. When I leave, you can say that you are sick and feel uncomfortable all over. The doctor can't tell what's wrong with you. And you are such a precious female. My father and mother will not be ignorant of the overall situation and force you to be with me when you are sick."
"As for you, you can stay in the palace under this pretext, and prevent people with bad intentions from approaching you. When you find your partner, you can leave with them. This way, everything will be back on track."
Luo Huazhou's words made perfect sense, and E Ling couldn't help but ask, "Luo Huazhou, why do you always have so many tricks?"
"Who told me to be extremely smart!" Luo Huazhou said arrogantly.
E Ling couldn't help but imagine what the fish would look like in its full animal form. To some extent, it was right...
"But, pretending to be sick is easy to be recognized, right?"
“No, are you serious? You, you can just pretend. Female illness is no joke. If you can’t save her… then I will be blamed.”
Luo Huazhou watched E Ling's actions nervously. He saw E Ling take out a shiny and lustrous stone from somewhere and held it in her hand.
He looked puzzled, and was even more surprised when he noticed that after E Ling took out the stone, the whole room was filled with comfortable spiritual power.
E Ling explained, "Don't worry, this is a water spirit stone, it's mainly for colds. I only absorbed a little bit, so a minor cold won't be a problem. I have herbs that can cure myself."
The last time she absorbed the power of the Water Spirit Stone, not only did she go into estrus prematurely, but she also suffered from uterine coldness and pain for several days. Now it's still a long way to her next estrus, so it should be enough for her to absorb just a little.
If you want to act, then act the whole thing.
What would it matter if I was found out I was pretending?
Although Luo Huazhou does not have a physique that can absorb spiritual energy, as the crown prince of the mermaid clan, he naturally cannot be unaware of how rare a female with a body that can absorb spiritual energy is. He originally thought that her value lay in her powerful rank and fertility, but he did not expect that she could be so close to spiritual energy.
No wonder he felt comfortable with her the first time he saw her. He felt that her temperament was different from all the females he had seen. Although she deliberately concealed her spiritual power so as not to attract his attention, he still noticed her at a glance.
For a female who has been absorbing spiritual energy for a long time, even if she tries to hide it deliberately, the changes in her temperament brought about by the spiritual energy will penetrate deep into her bones.
This explains why there are so many powerful males around her. A female who is so beautiful, fertile, and can absorb spiritual energy, there should be no male who would not like her, right? Especially males in high positions, they would only rush to form a partner with her to consolidate their own status.
Not to mention that my father and mother were so eager to bring them together after learning about the situation. Was it also out of this consideration?
Luo Huazhou frowned, unable to figure out for a moment, by bringing her to the royal city and asking her to pretend to be the female he liked, was he really protecting her or harming her in disguise?
After E Ling absorbed some spiritual power, she felt a little dizzy. She put away the spiritual stone, then lay down on his shell bed and made an OK gesture to Luo Huazhou.
"Luo Huazhou, I'm going to sleep first. Don't let me know tomorrow."
E Ling's tone quickly became weak. Luo Huazhou looked at her pale face nervously and said worriedly, "Call me if you feel uncomfortable at night. It's useless for a female to show off."
E Ling nodded, like a soft kitten with its claws pulled out, which was completely different from her usual aggressive appearance, and inexplicably made Luo Huazhou's heart soften.
In front of me, Luo Huazhou's figure gradually became blurred.
Once she relaxed, E Ling's eyelids began to droop and she fell into a deep sleep.
