The Tycoon's Enchanted Mermaid-Chapter 74 - : Who would have thought that a little girl lived inside

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Who would have thought that a little girl lived inside

After hanging up the phone, Ah Da sat beside her cellphone, lost in thought. The Bronze Sword just now had sounded so heartbroken, lacking its usual arrogance and flamboyance, as if its sharp edges had been smoothed out.

Was it because Yao Qingzhi had asked her for three hundred yuan for accommodation fees, or was it Yao Qingzhi’s poor attitude? Just like when Qin Yu was fierce, she would feel sad and distressed.

Resting her chin in her hands, Ah Da couldn’t figure out one thing: if Yao Qingzhi made the Bronze Sword so sad, why did she still choose to stay at Lingcheng Mountain? She could have left.

When Qin Yu came out, he saw Ah Da kneeling by her cellphone, frowning, looking listless.

“What’s wrong? Not going to sleep?”

Ah Da suddenly looked up, her eyes wide as brass bells when she saw Qin Yu.

...

The man was wearing a white bathrobe loosely tied at the waist, with the top not fully buttoned, revealing his well-sculpted abs and chest muscles, and some water droplets rolling down. His wet hair hung messily on his forehead, and his dark eyes were profound. He exuded an indolent and wicked air.

Unlike his usual cool and detached demeanor, he resembled a seductive demon emerging from the darkness just after showering, strikingly impactful.

Ah Da’s gaze was frantic. She dared not linger on any part of him for more than a second, feeling a little deer crashing wildly inside her heart.

“Why aren’t you dressed properly!”

“What’s wrong with the way I’m dressed?” asked Qin Yu with a raised eyebrow, looking down at her, such a small creature still shy.

Ah Da’s face was blushing like boiled shrimp. Being too close, she could even smell the fragrance of his shower gel. She looked left and right, then abruptly darted into the incense burner.

She feared she might get overheated if she stayed any longer.

The young girl ran off without a word, leaving Qin Yu somewhat helpless. He took out some incense from a cupboard, placed it in the burner for her, and then turned to go blow dry his hair.

Inside the incense burner, Ah Da lay on the small Jade bed, unable to calm her emotions for a long time. It turned out the Little Pink Bottle was right—men and women were fundamentally different, especially physically.

Why did Qin Yu have separate sections of flesh on his abdomen with obvious lines, looking somewhat terrifying?

Ah Da couldn’t help but touch her own belly, which was soft and smooth, nothing like his.

It was so strange. How had he grown like that?

Ah Da closed her eyes, forcibly clearing the messy images from her mind. She didn’t want to think anymore!

Thin wisps of fragrant smoke seeped in. Fluorescent specks fell slowly like snowflakes, gently infusing into her body. Ah Da comfortably squinted her eyes, letting her thoughts drift far away.

Qin Yu, after drying his hair, walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, and lay down. He closed his eyes, then opened them again and turned his head toward the bedside table glowing with the fluorescent green light Emitting from the Green Jade Incense Burner.

His eyes landed on the incense burner with the depiction of a young girl with a human upper body and a fish tail. He couldn’t help but reach out and touch it again—smooth, delicate, cool to the touch, the scales shimmering, as if it were alive.

Qin Yu remembered Wei Lan’s reply from before, “This Green Jade Incense Burner is indeed a treasure, with top-grade jade and stunning craftsmanship. It’s too complete, perfectly natural. Just from the photos you sent, I can’t discern any craft characteristics, nor dare I confirm which dynasty it comes from. Anyway, my interest in this incense burner has arisen, and when I get back, I absolutely must investigate it thoroughly.”

“By the way, did you say this treasure was from Tang Bufan? It seems I need to ask him where he got it. He finds good sources and keeps silent about it. I treat him like a brother, and he treats me like air. He really deserves a beating.”

As Qin Yu had guessed, the origin of the incense burner was unclear. Initially, Tang Bufan had just found it attractive and bought it to give him, knowing virtually nothing about the incense burner.

However, one thing he had said back then was correct: this Green and White Jade Mountain Incense Burner was certainly no ordinary object. Who would have thought that inside it lived a talking girl who shed pearls?

Thinking of Ah Da, Qin Yu’s eyes softened slightly. He withdrew his hand, turned off the light, and lay down. While waiting for Wei Lan to return, he decided to look up the Wanrong Auction that was auctioning incense burners.

In the darkness, the sweet fruity scent became more intense, sweet yet not cloying, comforting his body and mind like a fine drizzle in early spring. It felt like a medicine, healing Qin Yu’s sleep, making him no longer resist the endless cold night.

Accompanied by this fragrance, Qin Yu slowly fell asleep. He had thought he would dream of that shattered face again. However, those repeatedly haunting scenes did not appear.

A dreamless night.

When he woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

Ah Da emerged from the incense burner and found Qin Yu was no longer in the room. The blankets were neatly folded.

His voice message on the mobile phone roughly meant he was going to work, urging her not to wander off, to take good care of herself, and to wait for him to return in the evening.

No matter how she listened, it was a voice filled with care, and Qin Yu’s image grew immensely in Ah Da’s heart.

Ah Da, delighted, pressed the voice button and said into the receiver, “I know, I’ll stay in the room.”

After sending the voice message, Ah Da didn’t wait for a reply. She put down the phone and started looking around.

The white marble floor was bright as a mirror, and the furniture carved with retro patterns filled her view. The thin curtains swayed with the wind, and the sunlight shone through, leaving mottled spots of light on the floor.

The room still had the remnants of the aromatherapy.

Absorbing Spiritual Power overnight, Ah Da felt powerful. She jumped down from the bedside table, leisurely strolling around the room with her short legs, noting that the decorations in the room were very luxurious, with some even embedded with gems and diamonds.

Flying up to the windowsill, the scenery outside took Ah Da’s breath away – continuous mountains and clear waters formed a line. Little boats passed by, casting glimmering ripples, sublime and beautiful as if from a heavenly place.

“Qin Yu’s house is really too big, isn’t it?”

Ah Da couldn’t help exclaiming, thinking that once she regained her normal form, she definitely needed to go boating by the lake.

The scenery outside was too captivating, prompting Ah Da to simply sit down and enjoy it slowly. The sunshine warmed her immensely, incredibly comfortable.

Truly delightful.

Over the next few days, Ah Da shuttled between the incense burner and the roomed window sill whenever idle, watching the views outside, playing with her smartphone on Weibo, helping Su Qingtong fend off trolls, and chatting with Su Qingtong on the phone.

Su Qingtong was filming on set, playing a temporary cameo role with not much screen time, but the project was a major one. Both the male and female leads were popular celebrities, and some main actors also had a fan base. In such a complex environment, gossip flew everywhere, and Su Qingtong daily shared the behind-the-scenes entertainment gossip she overheard, gradually influencing Ah Da.

Ah Da remembered some celebrities she had previously not known, puzzled at how chaotic interpersonal relationships could get, her curiosity repeatedly refreshed.

Life was extremely pleasant and comfortable.

In contrast, Qin Yu was the opposite. He left early and returned late. Other than finding time to chat with her during dinner, he was busy with work, even staying up in the study until midnight.

Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, Ah Da thought this could not go on. Planning to intervene when he slept at night, she stealthily emerged from the incense burner and tried to use her Spiritual Power to relieve him.

As Spiritual Power infused from his forehead, each inch it progressed, the more resistance and backlash it encountered. Ah Da wasn’t surprised by this.

She remembered that she’d once forced herself into Qin Yu’s dream from the incense burner. He had caught her, nearly frightening her to death. When she came out, her soul had been damaged.

If, later on, Qin Yu hadn’t lit the incense in the burner, she likely wouldn’t have recovered so quickly.
