Chapter 2634: Nervousness As Home Draws Close
“You ruffian!” Unable to take her big sister’s bold remarks, Shang Liuyu turned her reddened face away and fled.
“What’s there to be shy about between sisters? Tell me more!” Shang Hongyu chased her, determined to fulfill her desire for gossip.
Shang Liuyu recalled what had happened last night.
After she morphed into her mermaid tail, Zu An had suddenly shared a fairy tale called ‘The Little Mermaid’ with her. In the story, a mermaid princess had saved a prince and fell in love with him. To be with him, she'd approached a witch to morph her mermaid tail into legs, only to learn that she had to trade her melodious voice for it...
It was such a sad story that it had made her tear up, but Zu An went on to say that the mermaid princess had paid such a heavy price for her legs; it was a huge pity for her not to show hers when she had them.
His argument had stumped Shang Liuyu. In the end, she'd turned her tail back into legs, and somehow, she'd ended up helping him the way he told her to... She could still feel the heat on her feet, and it made her face go red. How can I share something like that with big sister?
“Nothing happened!”
Upon hearing her little sister’s answer, Shang Hongyu got agitated. “How could nothing have happened? What did I tell you before? You should listen to me. You’ll regret it for life if something happens to him out there.”
Shang Liuyu chuckled. “There’s nothing to regret. Our souls are connected. I understand him, and he understands me too.”
“Sure, sure, your love is noble and pure. Only mine is dirty and lustful,” Shang Hongyu huffed.
“Big sister, that’s not what I mean.” Shang Liuyu grabbed her big sister’s hand to placate her. “Rather than satisfying him on the spot, I thought it would be better to give him something to look forward to. He’d have to stay calm when taking risks so that he can come back safely and claim the prize. Who knows? It might give him a boost of power in his time of need.”
Shang Hongyu suddenly felt jealous. “Sure, you’re the more charming one. He thinks about coming back to you to claim his prize even when he’s struggling outside. Hmph! You know how many women that philanderer has outside? He might meet a beautiful foreign woman in Dreamland and melt in her warm embrace. Do you think he w'd still think about you then?”
