Bai Su blinked her big, bewildered eyes at him.
They stared at each other for a long moment.
As if she had seen something terrifying, Bai Su suddenly let out a scream and shot back, dodging Li Chenlin's touch.
Li Chenlin froze. "Susu, what's wrong?"
Her face a deathly white from fright, Bai Su burst into tears with a WAIL. "SOB... SOB... Help! There's a big snake! A big snake got into my room!"
Her cries attracted the servants from outside.
A group of mermen filed in. "Your Grace the Duke, what's wrong?"
Seeing the suddenly tiny Bai Su, they too were dumbfounded. They exchanged glances, unsure of what had happened.
Bai Su stared, dumbfounded, at the Mermaids filing in. The terror on her face shifted to surprise, then to starry-eyed wonder.
'I've never seen so many beautiful Mermaids before!'
In an instant, Li Chenlin's mind flashed to the box of Forgetfulness Water from the market yesterday.
His expression dark, he summoned Rosa Meiya and quickly explained the situation.
