"Hmm, much better."
Yu Xiao thought for a moment and then came up with an idea.
"I've had the villa's outdoor pool cleaned. Let's stop practicing here for today and spend the rest of the time swimming."
He said, "For someone like you who is a mermaid, going swimming in a pool must be the best way to relax, right?"
Seeing Yu Xiao's enthusiastic expression, Yu Tang didn't think much of it and let Yu Xiao carry him outside.
He originally wanted to bring Yu Shasha along, but the little mermaid had already transformed into a happy homebody, saying that she still had a TV series to watch, and told them to let the two of them play by themselves.
It's March now, the weather is warming up, and the sun is shining brightly outside.
The pool is surrounded by a garden, where yellow forsythia are in full bloom, their long branches stretching out as if trying to reach the water in the pool.
Yu Xiao put Yu Tang down.
Then she started taking off her clothes in front of Yu Tang.
Yu Tang felt inexplicably uneasy after watching this.
He asked, "Xiaoxiao, do you want to swim with me?"
“Yes…” Yu Xiao took out her swimming trunks, put them on, and then deliberately jumped into the water, making a big splash.
Taking advantage of the moment when Yu Tang closed his eyes to wipe the water, he grabbed Yu Tang's tail from below and touched that special scale.
Yu Tang shuddered instantly, her face flushed, and she was about to refuse.
But he found that Yu Xiao had already let go of his hand and, as if nothing had happened, swam half a lap in the pool, surfaced, shook the water off his face, and asked him.
"Tangtang, why aren't you swimming?"
Yu Tang reasonably suspects that Yu Xiao did it on purpose!
As a merman, he knew that the scale Yu Xiao touched revealed his male merman characteristics.
What made it even harder for him to talk about was that beneath that characteristic lay...
Thinking of this, Yu Tang quickly scooped up some water and splashed it on his face to cool it down.
Then I sank into the pool, leaned forward, and started swimming.
During this time, they will also jump out of the water, leaping out of the water like dolphins. The splashing water is refracted by the sunlight into a variety of colors, and even forms a rainbow at the edge of the pool.
Yu Xiao saw the faint rainbow reflected in her eyes, and felt a warmth in her heart.
He quietly swam to the bottom of the pool and caught the spot where Yu Tang leaped out of the water and fell back down.
He pulled the person into a tight embrace.
He nuzzled his head against Yu Tang's shoulder.
Yu Tang was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"What are you doing? Are you being coquettish again?"
"Isn't it good to be affectionate? You're my wife, if I don't be affectionate with you, who else can I be affectionate with?"
Yu Xiao didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he shamelessly pouted and said to Yu Tang, "Wife, I want a kiss..."
"Give me a kiss..."
Yu Tang was powerless against his coquettishness, so she leaned in and kissed Yu Xiao.
But this is clearly a trap.
He had the initiative before the kiss, but once they kissed, the power shifted to Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao pulled Yu Tang down into the water.
Their stray hairs floated in the water, and Yu Xiao's voice was muffled.
He even threatened Yu Tang: "Tangtang, I am human and I can't breathe underwater. You have to help me."
"Please...help me properly..."
Chapter 17
The villain was resurrected for the seventh time (17)
Yu Tang is so lazy he can't even be bothered to complain!
You're a robot, capable of destroying an entire empire, and you can't even breathe underwater?
And even if you can't breathe properly, you won't face the same life-threatening danger as an ordinary person!
If you want to take advantage, just say so! Why all the fuss?
But in the current situation, if Yu Tang loses his focus again, he will become completely at Yu Xiao's mercy.
Breathing was stolen, and the swaying fish tail was gripped by fingers.
The fingers would occasionally brush against the scales of the hidden '鑶', causing Yu Tang to tremble slightly and feel a chill run down his spine.
When Yu Xiao let go of him and pulled him to the surface, Yu Tang felt a suffocating sensation due to lack of oxygen.
He wandered aimlessly; he might be the first merman to experience oxygen deprivation underwater.
It is a disgrace to the Merfolk!
He lay on top of Yu Xiao, who then contentedly fiddled with the rhinestones on his clothes and whispered, "Tangtang, I looked up information about your merfolk tribe online."
"You adult merfolk are similar to other fish; you all have a phase called the 'heating period,' which is generally between March and June, when the temperature is above 16 degrees Celsius."
"Looking at the time now, it seems like it's about to start..."
Yu Tang glared at her.
He stared at Yu Xiao in astonishment: "What kind of nonsense did you investigate?"
"Tangtang, I'm a robot. I naturally remember what the search engine finds." Yu Xiao blinked innocently, "I was just trying to understand your race, wasn't I? You can't blame me for that."
He added, "I've heard that if a fever isn't relieved, it can be very uncomfortable."
"Fortunately, Tangtang, you have a wonderful husband like me. I will definitely stay by your side and help you get through those difficult times..."
Hearing his "sincere" words, Yu Tang had already begun to feel afraid.
He reasonably suspected that the reason he turned into a merman and had that damned fever period was due to Wei Yuan's perverse sense of humor!
He reached out and pinched Yu Xiao's face with both hands, kneading and rolling it, and said through gritted teeth, "Then I really have to thank you, my good husband..."
The second prince's wedding was a political marriage.
The Oro Empire has been weakened in the interstellar space for the past two years, and coincidentally, the Weiss Empire has proposed a marriage alliance with them.
Although the Weiss Empire has a small territory and weak other forces, its military strength is surprisingly powerful.
They are known for their fierce and warlike nature, and are a famously combative people throughout the entire galaxy.
The marriage between the two countries would be a perfect complement, so the Queen agreed.
Yu Xiao's new adjutant, He An, served as their driver, taking the two of them to the banquet.
Inside the spacious car, Yu Xiao put gloves on Yu Tang, then bent down and massaged the man's ankle, asking, "How do you feel? Be sure to tell me if your foot hurts."
Although he said he hoped Yu Tang would always remain in human form.
But Yu Xiao was still worried that he wouldn't be used to this posture, and even more worried that Yu Tang would feel uncomfortable.
"It doesn't hurt..." Yu Tang shook his head: "You should get up quickly."
Yu Xiao then stood up, straightened Yu Tang's suit collar and tidied his loose hair, and smiled with satisfaction.
As I was getting off the bus, I happened to run into Xu Lanzhe.
Xu Lanzhe was also dressed formally and waved to them.
When she walked up to the two of them, she consciously stood on Yu Xiao's side, only daring to steal glances at Yu Tang, who stood upright and looked no different from a human.
His eyes widened in surprise: "Brother Xiao, how did General Yu do that?"
"I don't recall any precedent of merfolk transforming into humans, do I?"
Yu Xiao raised her chin, her voice brimming with pride: "There's no precedent, but my Tangtang is the precedent. Even if he becomes a merman, he'll still be the most awesome merman!"
Yu Tang felt embarrassed and his face flushed. He wanted to cover his face, but when he saw Xu Lanzhe, he immediately realized and agreed, "That's right! Brother Xiao, you've enlightened me. He's General Yu, no matter what he does, he's the best!"
Yu Xiao patted him on the shoulder: "Hmm, you're a promising young man."
Chapter 18
The villain was resurrected for the seventh time (18)
Faced with these two flatterers, Yu Xiao was at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He gave Yu Xiao a push: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go in, or Her Majesty the Queen will blame you if you miss the time."
Yu Xiao then stopped praising Yu Tang, nodded obediently, and took Yu Tang's arm as they entered the venue.
The magnificent royal venue was bustling with people.
It can be said that all the people of high status and prestige in the entire Auror Empire came here to celebrate the Second Prince together.
As soon as Yu Tang entered, he attracted everyone's attention.
When the guests saw his face, their smiles froze on their faces, and they were so shocked that they couldn't say a word.
The entire venue fell silent instantly.
Some people even secretly pinched their thighs through their clothes, their faces contorted in pain, before they were sure they weren't dreaming.
After all, Yu Tang and Yu Xiao's faces were once posted on the Empire's network, and everyone knew them.
Two years ago, one of them died and the other went missing, leaving most people feeling saddened.
Now that these two have reappeared in the public eye, it's no wonder they're all stunned!
Upon hearing the news, the Queen came out to greet them. Dressed in layers of court dress, she approached Yu Tang and, in full view of everyone, said to him, "General Yu Tang, General Yu Xiao, I welcome your return."
At this moment, all the nobles in the room held their breath!
They were just thinking that maybe someone was impersonating Yu Tang and Yu Xiao.
