Chapter 265 Will this really work?
When Aoshuang and Yumo returned to Tiger Lion City, it was just past lunchtime.
Yuan Xiao was sitting in a rocking chair basking in the sun when she saw Ao Shuang and Yu Mo sneaking off toward the small castle.
Bizhi followed her gaze and saw them too.
With a puzzled look, Bizhi looked at Yuanxiao again: "Why didn't you say you were coming back?"
Yuan Xiao gave Bi Zhi a wink.
Aoshuang stopped Yumo at the entrance of the small castle.
Yu Mo: "What are you doing now?"
Ao Shuang: "Smell it carefully, Xiao Xiao won't notice, will she?"
Yu Mo: "Probably not."
Ao Shuang: "Be serious, I'm afraid she might find out..."
Are you afraid of me?
Yu Mo sighed.
They had all promised Yuan Xiao that they would not hurt anyone easily again.
But this time he not only injured people, he also swallowed them.
Two people.
"What's the point of saying all this now that it's already done?"
Yu Mo pushed away Ao Shuang's arm and prepared to walk into the small castle, but was pulled back again and could not get away.
"Let go."
Yu Mo said somewhat irritably, but then he heard a familiar voice.
"So what did you do?"
“Bizhi…how could you…”
Ao Shuang stood there awkwardly, like a child who had gotten into trouble and been caught red-handed.
Yu Mo suddenly felt relieved and pulled Ao Shuang outside.
"Let's go, let's take the initiative."
For the first time, Aoshuang and Yumo were at a loss for words in front of Yuan Xiao.
Yuan Xiao: "Is everything resolved?"
Yu Mo: "Hmm."
Yuan Xiao: "Let's have lunch together then."
"Okay!"
Ao Shuang blurted out, then turned her head and saw Yu Mo's eyes, which were so cold they could kill.
"Actually, we're not that hungry..."
Ao Shuang immediately changed her mind, but then she saw Bi Zhi bringing in the food with Liu Yuan.
"I'm hungry, aren't you going to eat something with me?"
Bi Zhi put down her things and gestured for Liu Yuan to leave. Then she pressed Ao Shuang and Yu Mo into chairs.
Yuan Xiao began to eat slowly and carefully.
Yu Mo moved forward a bit, picked out the smallest piece of meat from the plate, sighed, and started eating it.
It was less of a sigh and more like a burp.
Yuan Xiao looked up at Yu Mo but said nothing.
The more you try to cover it up, the worse the situation becomes.
Yu Mo began to feel nauseous, his stomach inexplicably churning, making him want to vomit.
"What's wrong with you?" Yuan Xiao had never seen Yu Mo like this before, and couldn't help but worry.
"I...I'm fine..."
Yu Mo clutched his stomach, his brows furrowed, looking anything but unharmed.
"He...he probably caught a cold, yeah!" Ao Shuang pretended to gnaw on some meat while covering for her good brother.
But Yu Mo understood that it was impossible to hide it any longer, so it was better to just be honest.
"never mind."
He put down the piece of meat he had barely touched, thus freeing Aoshuang, who was also pretending to be struggling.
"I was wrong."
Yu Mo's face was a little pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he spoke those three words without any ambiguity, which made Yuan Xiao feel a little sorry for him.
"It was my fault, I swallowed them..."
He suppressed his nausea and tried to tell Yuan Xiao what had happened, but Yuan Xiao shook her head at him instead.
Yu Mo lowered his head, thinking that she must be very disappointed in him.
"You did a great job. Thank you for your hard work."
Yuan Xiao's words surprised Yu Mo.
He immediately looked up: "What did you say?"
Yuan Xiao: "I have to say you're really something, you took care of Chi Hong so quickly."
Yu Mo: "But won't you resent me for eating him?"
Yuan Xiao: "The law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, is the law of the beast world. I was too foolish before, always thinking that we shouldn't go to extremes, but that only created more problems. You all have to suppress your nature to accommodate me. It's not you who are wrong, it's me."
Ao Shuang: "Xiao Xiao..."
Yu Mo: "Don't say that, you're just too kind..."
Yuan Xiao shook her head with a wry smile, about to continue speaking, when she saw Yu Mo's face turn deathly pale, and he fell straight down...
------------
"Will this really work?"
Ao Shuang held a stinking dead fish in her hand, held it up to Yu Mo's face, pinched her nose with her other hand, and looked at Chi Miao.
Chi Miao nodded.
"How could this happen?" Ao Shuang couldn't free her hands, so she kicked Yun Feng with her foot. "Didn't you say that mermaids could greatly increase the strength of orcs?"
Yun Feng glanced guiltily at Yuan Xiao, then turned back and kicked Ao Shuang: "Who told you to be so impatient? You only listen to half of what I say?"
Chi Miao said helplessly, "It's about mating with mermaids, not eating them... Besides, half of a mermaid's body is covered in scales, making it difficult to eat. Only a black mamba that has transformed into a python could swallow it whole."
He whispered the word "swallow" and secretly observed Yuan Xiao before continuing.
"However, he swallowed it whole, so there shouldn't be any problem. His current reaction is because he ate it along with the whole thing."
As Chi Miao spoke, she touched the pearl in the middle of her collarbone.
Ao Shuang was stunned for a moment. He hadn't even noticed this before and thought it was an accessory that Chi Miao wore herself.
Yuan Xiao pressed further, "Is this thing poisonous?"
Chi Miao shook her head, but her expression remained serious as she glanced at Yun Feng out of the corner of her eye.
Yun Feng immediately stood up to help Yuan Xiao: "You've been sitting here for so long, go and rest for a while."
Yuan Xiao remained unmoved: "Go on, you don't need to hide anything from me."
Seeing that Yuan Xiao refused to leave, Chi Miao had no choice but to speak again: "Actually, many of the legends about mermaids that you have heard are not particularly accurate."
Mermaids leave behind either Neptune Crystals or pearls after they die. These two treasures are extremely rare for orcs, because although mermaids are weak on land, they are absolute kings in the sea.
Even if someone had the chance to kill the mermaid, they would only be able to remove the pearl and abandon the mermaid body for fear of having their throat cut by the fish scales, and what they would get would be the pearl.
The reason why Neptune Crystal is so rare is that it requires the mermaid to lose her scales while she is still alive. The extreme pain causes the bead to become congested with blood, and it is only after the mermaid dies that it is separated into Neptune Crystal.
Upon hearing Chi Miao's words, Yun Feng seemed to be able to imagine the "good deeds" that Yu Mo and Ao Shuang had done. He gasped and looked at Yuan Xiao beside him.
Yuan Xiao didn't seem very surprised, but she was worried about Yu Mo: "Wouldn't it be fine if I just spit this out?"
"Yes."
Relieved by Chi Miao's affirmative answer, she took Yun Feng's hand and said, "I'm tired, I want to go to sleep for a while."
As soon as Yuan Xiao left, Ao Shuang started whining.
Ao Shuang: "How long will this smoke last?"
Chi Miao: "It shouldn't be too long, right? Isn't this the smell that Yu Mo hates the most?"
"The most disliked taste?"
These words jolted Ao Shuang awake, and he suddenly grinned mischievously...
