I'm full of rebellion against fate

Chapter 164 Down to Earth

Bored Chang Ningchen sat by the sea and wrote three words, hoping that the sea could take away his "unhappiness". As a result, the sea took away his happiness and left him with "unhappiness".

"..."

Damn! Even the sea is playing tricks on me! Furious, Chang Ningchen angrily slapped his tail on the beach. If he had legs, he would definitely step on it a few times!

Dongfang He's body recovered quickly. He looked at Chang Ningchen jumping and rolling on the ground and asked, "Can't you transform into a pair of legs?"

Chang Ningchen shook his head and said, "I don't know how to change."

Dongfang He thought about his method of directly transforming into human legs, and then said to Chang Ningchen: "Imagine that this tail is your foot, and then imagine the thigh, calf, foot and toes, and then they will appear."

Chang Ningchen stared hard at his fish tail, then used all his might to no avail. Unhappily, he continued rolling on the ground. Why was it so difficult to change his legs?!

Dongfang He saw Chang Ningchen lying on the ground in a rage. The man smiled helplessly. He reached out and picked up Chang Ningchen, then said very gently: "Take your time. During the time when you can't transform, I will carry you wherever you want to go."

Chang Ningchen felt the man's strong arms and warm chest, and for some reason, his face turned red.

Dongfang He looked at Chang Ningchen's fish tail that was swinging like a dog's tail. It seemed that he did not reject his embrace. However, if Chang Ningchen's fish tail could not turn into human legs, it would be difficult for them to live together.

The human world is still very curious about mermaids, especially some rumors that mermaid meat has similar effects to Tang Monk's meat. Chang Ningchen will be in trouble then. Dongfang He thought about it and couldn't help but reached out and touched Chang Ningchen's tail.

Chang Ningchen instantly felt an electric shock coming from the tail. He blushed and quickly grabbed Dongfang He's hand and said, "Don't touch the mermaid's tail."

"Ah! Sorry!"

Dongfang He looked at Chang Ningchen with a hint of anger in his eyes, and suddenly felt his throat dry. He quickly put Chang Ningchen on the haystack and went to get some water to divert his attention.

There is a freshwater spring deep in the island. Dongfang He would go there to fetch water and pick some fruits. Fortunately, the dagger on Dongfang He's body was not taken away, so he began to cut branches to build a wooden house.

Although there is no winter here, it is still windy and rainy. With a house, they don’t have to worry about having no place to shelter from the rain.

Chang Ningchen sat on the side and tried to stretch his legs. He looked at his tail with beautiful lines and shiny scales. He felt that chopped pepper, pickled vegetables, and boiled tail would all go well together. The more he looked at it, the hungrier he felt. He shook his head and decided not to look anymore. Turning around, he saw a man chopping wood with his upper body naked.

The man's muscular body, glistening beads of sweat and sexy stubble made Chang Ningchen feel that this scene was truly a feast for the eyes!

As Chang Ningchen watched, he felt something was wrong. Why did he feel hungry just watching Dongfang He chopping wood?!

Uh… could it be that there's something human in the mermaid recipe?! If not, why do I think Dongfang He looks so delicious?!

Thinking of this, Chang Ningchen felt that his idea was terrible, so he jumped back into the sea to catch fish.

After Dongfang He finished building the simple wooden house, he noticed Chang Ningchen was busy fishing. He had caught a lot of shellfish, crabs, lobsters, and sea urchins. He asked with a smile, "Are you thinking of opening a fish farm?"

Chang Ningchen swam back holding the tuna and said, "I want to prepare more."

Dongfang He was busy all day and was hungry, so he started to cook fish soup and make fish dishes. Some of the fresh seafood was delicious to eat directly, but he still wanted to cook it for Chang Ningchen.

During dinner, Dongfang He noticed that Chang Ningchen's eyes were always staring at him. He asked curiously, "Is my face dirty?"

Chang Ningchen hesitated for a moment before finally expressing his thoughts. He said, "I think you're delicious."

Dongfang He was stunned when he heard Chang Ningchen's words, then thought for a moment and said, "In Asian legends, mermaids would use their singing to lure sailors into the sea. It's very likely that mermaids also eat people."

Chang Ningchen nodded, and then Dongfang He continued, "But many myths have legends about eating mermaid flesh to achieve immortality, so it's not certain who will eat whom. You have to be careful not to be discovered as a mermaid."

Chang Ningchen nodded quickly again. His own life was more important! He should quickly transform into a human leg!

After several days, Chang Ningchen still didn't feel the sensation of having long legs. From time to time, he would touch Dongfang He's long legs to get the feeling. Dongfang He was embarrassed by Chang Ningchen's behavior, but he was the only one here with two legs.

Dongfang He felt embarrassed by being stared at, so he asked Chang Ningchen, "Why did you come to this isolated island?"

Chang Ningchen told Dongfang He that he was afraid of the deep sea. Dongfang He was once a mermaid and he knew the feeling of entering the deep sea. It is natural for a human to be afraid of the sea, but it is not normal for a mermaid to be afraid of the sea. Who would be afraid of their own home?

Seeing that Chang Ningchen was often worried about not growing his legs, Dongfang He took him to swim in the sea. The sea was full of flying birds and white clouds during the day, and the sea at night was like an inverted starry sky, each with its own beauty.

Under Dongfang He's guidance, Chang Ningchen slowly felt the beauty of the sea, and his fear of the deep sea was a little less. The coral reefs in the shallow sea were really beautiful, but he was still a little afraid of the dark deep sea.

After having some sense of identity with his own identity, Chang Ningchen felt like he had found his feet. Finally, one evening, Chang Ningchen finally had a pair of feet on his body!

But Chang Ningchen didn't feel very happy. Dongfang He, who had just returned from the island after picking fruits, was so shocked by Chang Ningchen's appearance that he dropped the fruit in his hand.

Under the setting sun, he saw a mermaid with long legs looking at him in confusion.

What kind of expression should I use to face such a situation? Dongfang He covered his mouth and tried hard to hold back his laughter. Sorry, this picture is too funny!

"Pfft hahahahaha!"

Chang Ningchen looked at Dongfang He who was laughing non-stop with great anger. He yelled, "You're still laughing?! I'm so fed up! Why the hell didn't my fish tail disappear?!"

Dongfang He couldn't stop laughing. He wanted to say something but couldn't even finish a sentence. Chang Ningchen, who was annoyed by his laughter, picked up a coconut leaf and chased after him to beat him up.

The man couldn't stop laughing when he saw the running mermaid. The scene just now was 100% funny, and now it's 1000% funny. Hahahaha! Help! I'm dying of laughter!

Under the setting sun, Dongfang He was running and laughing, while the long-legged mermaid Chang Ningchen was chasing him angrily.
