559: A bee

A bee

Yu Dong was extremely happy that Ye Liu was the one who came running to her. She smiled at him and then answered his question, "I am going to hunt, Li Li just told me about her plan that she is going to hunt and asked me if I wanted to go with her. That's why I didn't tell you that I was coming here."  2

Ye Liu didn't hear what Yu Dong was saying instead his attention was on the mer who was looking at him with hostility buried in his eyes. He knew that this mer didn't just come to thank Yu Dong, he was trying to get Yu Dong to notice him! After all, so many people were saved by Yu Dong and no one came to thank her but this mer actually came bearing flowers? Who does he think he was fooling?

At this moment Ye Liu was acting like a cat whose owner has been rubbed by another cat, if possible he would have even hissed at the mer who was trying to hit on his wife. 

" I see you are going to hunt?" Ye Liu pulled back as he cleared his throat and said, " If you don't mind can you bring me a few geese? I would like it very much." 

Catching geese wasn't easy but Yu Dong who had her spiritual power as a cheat trick, she would be able to catch some geese with ease. She nodded and said, " If you want to eat geese then I will try my best to catch one."

When Ye Liu heard that Yu Dong was willing to listen to him, he turned to look at the mer who was still glaring at him with a hostile gaze and raised his head proudly. So, what if you are pretty? His wife will only be nice to him and no one else!

The mer was indeed unhappy, he has been looking at Yu Dong for quite some time and after looking at her for so long, the mer finally came to a realisation that if he wanted to live a happy and comfortable life without worrying about anything he needed to get as close as possible to Yu Dong. But he never got a chance to talk to Yu Dong, however, the village was flooded and then all of them were rescued by Yu Dong. 

He believed that as long as he was careful no one would say a thing about him and Yu Dong, more importantly, he would be able to get closer to Yu Dong as well. This was such an amazing opportunity for him and yet Yu Dong's husbands made it impossible for him to even talk to her much less get closer. 

The mer pouted but didn't linger around, now that Yu Dong's husbands were here he wouldn't be able to get close to her anyway, it was better to go back and eat his porridge before it turns cold.

Once the mer's back was turned, Ye Liu too let go of Yu Dong's arm and snatched the flower crown from her hands. He carefully skimmed his gaze over the delicately woven flower crown and then narrowed his eyes at Yu Dong. " Since when did you start accepting gifts from other mers? Aren't you scared that they will come looking for you with schemes in their heads?" 

" He was just thanking me," Yu Dong did feel that the mer had some hidden intentions when he came to see her but he didn't go overboard and simply thanked her, there was no need for her to refuse his thanks now there? 

" He was just thanking me," Ye Liu mimicked her before snorting haughtily. " We all can see how much he wanted to thank you… I bet he just wanted a reason to talk with you. Most probably he thought that he would be able to get close to you if he was to do something like this. You are the only foolish one who did not see through his plan and even accepted his gifts."

He paused and then turned to look at Yu Dong with a stern gaze. " You better stop being so nice to other mers, they might take your nice attitude as something else." 

" Yes, Yes… I get it." Yu Dong didn't know how a small action of just accepting a thank-you gift can cause so much trouble but she still listened to Ye Liu. " I will not accept any gifts from other mers no matter what okay?"

Ye Liu still looked a bit dissatisfied and then said, " You don't have to catch me geese just come back safely, I just said that in the heat of the moment." 

He was rather upset when he saw the mer getting close to Yu Dong and that was why he deliberately pulled that stunt, he didn't want to eat geese at all.

Yu Dong too seemed to have understood why Ye Liu might have asked her to catch geese for him, her heart immediately warmed up and then said in a giddy voice, " Liu, were you jealous?" 

Ye Liu puffed up and immediately flew into a rage as he said, " Who was jealous? I was just helping you... you already have been targeted by a bunch of bees and butterflies. Nothing more!" 

She knew that Ye Liu wouldn't agree with her and would never acknowledge that he was jealous either. She smiled and patted his shoulders as she said, " I understand, you were not at all jealous."

" That's right," Ye Liu puffed his chest out and looked at Yu Dong haughtily.

But then his arrogance didn't even stay a second as Yu Dong snatched the flower crown from his hand and then placed it on her head.  " Then don't mind me if I was to do this——"

However she didn't even get a chance to finish her words when Ye Liu snatched the flower crown from her head and then crumpled it with his hands and when Yu Dong hitched up a brow, he loudly said, " There was a bee in it, it would have stung you."
