Chapter 55 Betrothal Gift
Perhaps he saw Yun Jiao reaching under the pillow for the knife, He Yuzhang lifted the fish tail, and what was wrapped in the silver fish tail was the hidden fruit knife.

"Are you looking for this?"

Yun Jiao didn't know whether to panic or to marvel at the flexibility of the fish tail, which could firmly wrap around such a small knife.

"Yes, please give it back to me. The knife is quite sharp. It would be bad if it scratches the scales." Yun Jiao said to the fish who was playing with the blade instead of Tian Gang.

She said these words earnestly from her soft lips, as if she was truly worried about He Yuzhang.

The man looked from Yun Jiao's fragile and slender neck to her cherry-pink lips that had regained their color. After pausing for two seconds, he brought the knife with his fishtail to Yun Jiao.

Yun Jiao immediately took the knife back and held it in her hand. With a weapon, the aura around her was no longer so tense.

He Yuzhang was silent for a while, then said, "This kind of knife can't hurt me. If you want something to protect yourself, carry this with you."

He took out the sandalwood bracelet, held Yun Jiao's slender white wrist, and gently put the bracelet on Yun Jiao's hand.

It’s this unavoidable bracelet again, Yun Jiao is numb.

He raised his hand and separated it from He Yuzhang's cold and wet fingers. "You let it wrap around me?"

The warmth on his fingertips disappeared, He Yuzhang curled up his fingers, and there seemed to be some kind of heat hidden in his calm eyes.

"This is a betrothal gift, so it should naturally go with my partner. Don't give it to others next time."

Speaking of this other person, the man's voice was a little dry, and Yun Jiao raised his eyes.

"Do you guys here just give the betrothal gift without informing the other party? Or do you keep pestering them with betrothal gifts and make them refuse to accept the offer?"

What kind of way is this to find a partner? It's enough to scare people to death, right?

Thinking about how she had been scared for most of the day by the strangeness of the bracelet, Yun Jiao held the fruit knife and was very eager to show off her skills.

"Actually, I'm very good at scraping fish scales, and I can definitely clean the fish thoroughly. Would you like to see it, Mr. Mermaid?" A cool feeling appeared on He Yuzhang's beautiful fish tail, and the tail swayed. A flash of light passed by, and it was replaced by a pair of legs hidden under the robe.

The transformation effect was really good. Yun Jiao was amazed while letting the system take pictures and record videos. He felt that this scene could generate hundreds of millions of views.

"Thank you, but it shouldn't be necessary." He Yuzhang said, and suddenly moved towards Yun Jiao. He took the knife from her hand with his pale fingers and threw it far away.

"The blade is really dangerous, don't hurt your hands."

Are you scared?

He Yuzhang came a little closer, his long white hair entangled with Yun Jiao's ink-black hair, and his clear, wet and cold breath hit her neck, stirring up a chill.

Yun Jiao put her hands on the person's shoulders, pushed him away a little, and then placed her hands on He Yuzhang's heart.

Well, the heart is still beating, it is a living mermaid, but I don’t know why its whole body is cold, even its breath is cold.

As if sensing Yun Jiao's doubt, He Yuzhang showed no sign of being angry at his partner's actions. He allowed the warm palm to rest on his heart, lowered his eyes and looked at his overly beautiful partner and said.

"Too many people died in the sea, and the negative energy was too heavy, which also affected me."

Hearing this, Yun Jiao thought of the sea monster in the background of the copy.

The fishermen in the village all believed that the accident they had in the sea was caused by a sea monster. So is He Yuzhang a sea monster?

Mermaids are beautiful and simple creatures in fairy tales, but what Yun Jiao saw in He Yuzhang were sharp scales and the terrifying power hidden beneath the gentle appearance.

He Yuzhang's tone showed his displeasure towards the negative energy in the sea water. Would he really kill the fishermen and pollute the sea where he lives?
