Chapter 661: Always safe with me
" You…" Gu Li clutched her chin as she took a few steps back, she has really underestimated this mer and allowed him to take advantage of her lack of attention. " Do you think I won't kill you?"
"You can but if you kill me, Xiao Hua will smash his head into the carriage wall and die right in front of your eyes since he would not be able to see my wife in the eyes ever again if something happened to me, it will be really a shame for you if that happened, right?" As he spoke he turned to look at Xiao Hua pointedly.
Xiao Hua who was dragged into a messy situation again: "..."
Though he believed that dying after getting his head smashed open was a very messy way to die but he still nodded and said, " I will do it if you even touch a strand of his hair and I will smash my head right now and die, then you can marry my corpse, you murderer !"

He wanted to rip this woman into shreds and hit her until her head started to properly function like a normal woman but he did not do it, he needed to keep this woman calm and controlled until Yu Dong comes to save him.
Gu Li scanned Xiao Hua from up to down, one could see that she was trying to see the determination in his eyes and when she saw that he was indeed not lying, her lips pursed as she looked at him and said, " You better stay put or this mer will get sold to a brothel instead of being killed."
She turned to look at Ye Liu and sneered, " Not like he won't be once I marry you. The women there will teach him how to be respectful to a woman."
Ye Liu narrowed his gaze and sneered, " Don't be so salty just because you could not beat a mer."
Gu Li grunted acting apparently unconcerned as she turned to sit down on the seat opposite Xiao Hua, from then she acted as if she could not even see Ye Liu and only stared at Xiao Hua like he was some trophy that she has won from a big fight.
Xiao Hua let her stare at him as much as she wanted but when he noticed that she was stretching her hand to touch his legs, he immediately moved and frowned in disgust as he studied the woman and said, " You know, I have seen many psychotic people but I have never seen anyone who was this messed up in their heads and yet never gave the feeling of being a creepy killer."
Her eyes snapped back to his and her hands stopped moving. Good.
Even though he could not beat her with his hands like Ye Liu could, his sharp tongue was really good as well.
" I mean not once did I think when I saw you that you were weird or much less unhinged. What was more you even used that charm of yours that you picked up from the military and made everyone trust you even I did not feel uneasy around you and I have to admit that you were really good at hiding yourself, even your sister could not see through you."
" Don't talk about my sister," Gu Li sneered as her kind mask slipped from her face. " She was the elder sister, she should have been the one who was dragged to the army with the rest of the women but instead my daddy sent me in her place, he said that my sister was the elder one and she had the responsibility of flourishing the family line, he did not once ask what I wanted and sent me away."

" You killed him," unlike Xiao Hua who did not stay in the village, Ye Liu has been in the village for a long time and he knew that the Gu sister's daddy was found dead in the forest. No one found his body until he was half-eaten by wild animals so everyone thought that he was killed while he was looking for wild vegetables.
But now Ye Liu knew that the mer was not killed by an animal but by his own daughter.
" That's right," Gu Li sneered as she turned to look at Ye Liu before turning her head to Xiao Hua and saying, " But you don't have to worry about anything I will not harm you, I have never hidden myself from you."
" Have you lost your mind? Of course, you have hidden yourself from me, you never came to see me when you were in the inn and you did not even talk to me in the village, in front of everyone you treated me like you would treat a junior while hiding such disturbing thoughts regarding me. Can't you see how wrong this is? You are actually trying to marry a mer who is not even in his twenties while you are in what…your fifties? I can't even feel safe with you after finding out what you are."
Her face went taut as she replied, " You are safe with me, always have. I am not like Yu Dong who is listing after your body, I love you for who you are Xiao Hua. Have I even touched you in the wrong way? Did anything to bring harm you? I have always punished those who went against you. You have been the safest with me."
