Chapter 263: The Unpopular Little Mermaid Becomes the Beloved of the Group (8)

Under Qing Yuan's coercion, Wu Wu directed towards the small round hole and said:

"Little mermaid, don't trick people, trick dragons."

"Dragons are easy to trick!"

He even stressed his tone, trying to relay Qing Yuan's words to the little mermaid.

However, after traveling through the thick ice layer, and with Wu Wu's naturally slow speech, it sounded like a demon's deep growl from the abyss to Song Chuyi's ears.

Xu Ru's face paled, "Is he trying to drive us away?"

Song Chuyi lightly tapped his fish tail, thought for two seconds, and shook his head.

"Most likely not."

But the voice just now was indeed not Qing Yuan's voice.

Could there be other dragons beneath the ice?

No, that didn’t sound like a dragon either.

Might there be other creatures? Would they clash with Qing Yuan?

Song Chuyi slightly frowned, his fish tail moved, and the originally outlined lines changed direction.

Drawing on ice is much harder than on paper, and without a brush handy, he had to use his fish tail to scratch the ice, outlining some lines.

Thinking about Qing Yuan under the ice, Song Chuyi's fish tail moved faster.

Soon, he finished the painting.

The seemingly simple lines created a mesmerizing trap.

This was a technique he had learned from Ji Feng in the previous world.

Anyone who sees the painting will be drawn into a slight hypnotic trance, and when used on him, well... they’d fall for him.

Song Chuyi didn't really want to draw this way, but thinking about the possible existence beneath the ice that might bully Qing Yuan, he flicked his fish tail, drawing lines that went against his original plan.

Fortunately, he was drawing for the creatures beneath the ice, and due to the mirror image, the impact on the live stream... well, it shouldn’t be too significant?

The camera captured the lines on the ice and transmitted them to the live broadcast room.

The lines on the ice weren’t very noticeable, after all, they were scratches made by a fish tail on the ice.

Even if deep, they remained transparent, not to mention Song Chuyi didn't use much force, so the ice wasn't deeply scratched, making the painting in the camera appear very light and faint.

Yet, this faint painting touched the audience like a gentle breeze brushing their hearts, bringing a bit of tender coolness.

In the bullet comments:

"Xiao Chu's painting is so beautiful!"

"It's a flower, Xiao Chu must like me."

"Get lost! He obviously likes me!"

"Don't you all feel really comfortable? It's like the tension in your mind has relaxed."

"So comfy, so comfy~ I just wanna roll around~"

"I'm already rolling around on my bed!"

"I really like Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu, auntie wants to give you a kiss."

…………

The audience's enthusiasm even took the director by surprise.

He had even braced himself for the show to flop and fail to attract any investment.

To his surprise, as soon as Song Chuyi's somewhat blurry painting was revealed, he got several investment calls.

They all wanted to up their investment!

After chatting with several investors, the director suddenly remembered something and issued a couple of directives.

When he saw the technologically restored painting in the live stream screenshot, even the director was stunned.

It was a tiny flower swaying in the breeze, delicate and fragile, as if a single gust could knock it over.

Yet there it was, blooming in the icy wilderness.

No one could bring themselves to harm it; even the wind seemed to soften around it.

The director began to understand why the investors wanted to increase their investment; even he was moved by this little ice flower.

Unaware of the outside world, Song Chuyi approached the small round hole, tapped on the ice, and whispered:

"Could you not fight with him?"

Any creature under the ice that sees his painting will fall head over heels for him.

This is Ji Feng's magic, a skill he's mastered.

Though it might cause trouble down the line, right now Qing Yuan is what matters most.

He didn't want to see a dull, lifeless little green dragon once the ice broke.

Qing Yuan hasn't yet learned human deceit and cunning, and isn't sure if he'd fight back.

As Song Chuyi pondered, he whispered again, "I can draw more for you, just please don't fight with him, okay?"

Beneath the ice, Qing Yuan landed a punch on Wu Wu.

"What'd the little mermaid say?"

Wu Wu: ...

He covered his face with his claws, looking utterly dejected.

"He told you not to fight with me."

This wasn't a fight; it was just him getting beat up!

Hearing this, Qing Yuan paused his claws.

"I wasn't trying to fight with you."

He spoke with a serious tone.

"Your face just got in the way."

"You gotta make it clear to him."

Wu Wu's mouth twitched in frustration. He was really unlucky to get caught by this big bully!

"He even mentioned he could draw more."

Wu Wu peered at the faint lines etched into the ice. Luckily, his sharp eyes caught them.

It was a tiny flower, delicate and lovely.

The magical lines seemed to grow and shift in Wu Wu's vision.

His gaze grew hazy, as if under some mysterious enchantment.

In his trance, a soft voice seemed to whisper in his ear. Though the words were unclear, he thought, "That little flower is truly beautiful."

As beautiful as that little mermaid he once saw.

With a sharp "slap," the dragon's tail struck the turtle shell.

Wu Wu snapped out of it, annoyed, "You hit me again!"

Qing Yuan wore a goofy grin, ignoring Wu Wu completely.

His dragon tail swished excitedly behind him.

"He's gonna draw something for me."

"Is this little flower meant for me?"

"It's so pretty."

He fidgeted with his front paws, looking a bit shy.

"Is he giving me flowers to munch on?"

"But I’m not into eating flowers."

"Can you ask him to draw some fish for me instead?"

"I love eating fish."

Wu Wu just stared, speechless.

Qing Yuan's tail smacked the turtle shell once more.

"Especially little mermaids like him, I like them the most."

As if he had already tasted his sweetness, Qing Yuan swallowed his saliva.

His huge eyes stared straight at the figure on the ice surface.

"He looks so sweet, I could just eat him up."

Wu Wu felt more and more like something was off as he listened.

"Do you really want to eat that mermaid?"

He was taken aback.

"Are you out of your mind?"

Qing Yuan turned his head, giving him a puzzled look.

"No, I'm not crazy."

"I want to eat it."

Wu Wu quickly waved his claws, "Wait, when you say 'eat,' you mean eating him like food, not in any other sense, right?"

Qing Yuan nodded, opened his mouth, and made a big chomping motion.

"See? Just like this."

"Eat it."

As he spoke, he let out a silly laugh again.

Wu Wu was completely baffled.

"I thought when you said 'eat,' you know, you meant..."

Having spent a hundred years in the human world, Wu Wu was well aware that 'eat' had other meanings among humans.

So he got the wrong idea at first.

He never imagined that Qing Yuan really wanted to eat the little mermaid.

"No way! That can't be!"

How could Qing Yuan eat such a delicate and gorgeous little mermaid!
