Chapter 72 - Jealous Much?

all of sudden a current of cold hit me and made me shiver all over," huh? why is it cold all of sudden?!", it then came to me, "I'm a fish, how can it be possible to feel cold?"

I look towards the current's direction to spot a gloomy Li Xiang staring at me with a scary face

before I complain I couldn't help but gulp, "why are you glaring at me? so fierce? I didn't do anything yet!!"

"what were you planning to do ?", says brother Li with an aloof tone.

why is he making me look bad? am I that unreasonable of a person? I just wanted to talk to the cat man?

"I just wanted to ask him something!!", I cross my arms and puff my cheeks to show that I'm so upset

'cough' 'cough'

the cough brought our attention back to the person of our discussion, although this man look like a cat and he seem to have a crush on me which is understandable, I don't like getting interrupted, so in addition to Li Xiang I glared at him to show my dissatisfaction, obviously, our dissatisfaction differs.

hence, the man didn't seem to mind us he just yawned out of nowhere, found a place to sit then looked straight at me.

I've gotta be honest being stared at by him made me nervous, the feeling was foreign, the man's gaze seemed to scan every inch of me, as a single normal man the number of confessions I got in my life can be counted with one hand and they were all women at most they will sneak a look from afar or lower their gaze when they meet my gaze, now that met someone's who not only shows his affection in public but also so daring to steal a kiss, i ....

'blush', I feel shy

both of Erha and the man's reactions fell into Li Xiang's eyes like a needle poking his eyeballs, invisible fume came out of his head, and with no farther wait, he takes a sword from his space, ready to slice this stinky man to pieces, if he doesn't kill him he will be unable to sleep a night in peace!!!

seeing this I panic and hurriedly call him "brother Li!! what are you doing ?"

"move!!", Li coldly orders

I step in front of him to stop him, "let's be civilized !! let's ask him why he's here", seriously aren't you supposed to be the rational one !!

"what's the point of asking? other than you what else can it be!!", Li Xiang lash out.

I know he's right but it's too shameful to admit it so I decided to act like a white lotus, "don't misunderstand, how can he possibly..."

the man interrupts me "I did come for you", when Li Xiang heard he could not help but grit his teeth and tighten his grip holding the sword but when he was about to take another step the cat-like man spoke again

"I came to protect you", the man says simply and shortly which made me suspect whether he likes riddles or is just too lazy to speak.

Immediately, blue veins started appearing on top of Li Xiang's head,' he seriously couldn't handle this man any longer, who the hell does he think he is? this is totally mocking him !! does he see him as decoration?!!'

"I'll give you two choices whether you come back with me or stay here, I suggest you chose the first option, that will guaranty you complete safety", for the first time since he appeared the man said a long sentence, I would've applauded his efforts if it weren't for the growling wolf behind me, so before the other pounces I speak up,

"why? do I know you? I definitely don't know you, why take the trouble to protect me? "

"reason....", the man sluggishly says before he stops talking

"...."

after a moment of silence he continues, "120039 years ago I met a mermaid, she also had blue eyes and white hair just like you, even the looks are slightly similar, that mermaid was ..."

I suspected he will recount the classic "falling in love with a mermaid ", and" substitute lover" till I hear the next sentence

"the last mermaid on earth, and I suspect that you're her reincarnation ", he points his finger at me

"huh? how on earth did you come up with such a conclusion !!!", I cried out completely bewildered, there's nothing to speculate here, I'm not from this world!! there's no way for me to be here reincarnation !!

"how? other than being a mermaid, he's eyeing you, he even took the trouble to examine you, and...", another unfinished sentence followed by silence, "you smell like her",

"Besides how can there be such a coincidence, the first mermaid to reappear was you ", he adds this sentence quietly almost like muttering as if he was addressing himself.

although Li Xiang was enraged he did not miss the key points, this man said he lived more than thousands of years, he also mentioned that someone was eyeing Erha, why did he not mention his name?

"let me assure you I'm definitely not her !!!", I got flustered that I waved my hands everywhere, trying my best to stop his expectations, such a sad love story! how can I deceive his feelings !!

when the man heard this his attitude underwent a complete change, the aura around him turned gloomy and depressing while his eyes looked sharper.

'step'

'step'

the man slowly walked towards me, and it got me so scared, the man looked like he was about to kill someone, 'what does he mean? kill me if I'm not her?!! should I lie?'

I turn my head toward Li Xiang asking for help, unfortunately, Li Seems to be frozen still in his place only his eyes felt alive looking at me.

'tap', hearing the loud and close step noise right beside me I look back horrified, and unconsciously I step back, step by step the man follows me until my back seems to hit a wall.
