Central star, inside the imperial court.

Not long after the banquet started, the glamorous aristocratic men and women were holding champagne, gathered around the dining table in twos and threes, chatting about interesting things that happened in the upper class recently, and occasionally teased each other about a certain lady who was dressed inappropriately.

The lives of nobles are extravagant and boring. For them, the only fun is to discuss these gossips and privacy, as well as some novelties that can show their noble status——

For example, Earl Lian brought a humanoid creature that grew on an unknown planet today.

It has no limbs, but it has two long, vine-like tentacles. It was supposed to take root in the soil to absorb nutrients, but in order to fully show the whole picture of its "little pet" to other nobles, the Earl even sent someone to take its The roots were uprooted and placed in a display case similar to a transparent fish tank for people to watch.

This creature, like human beings, has the most basic emotions, has a certain language and communication ability, but human beings can't understand its language, and they don't know that it is not performing by shaking the vines in the water, but because of hunger and fear.

But even if they knew, they wouldn't care about it.

"Novelty is novelty," a lady covered her face with a fan and said with a smile, "it's just that this thing is so unflattering in appearance, it has no sense of beauty at all."

"That's right, even the Earl didn't even trim it. These tentacles look really disgusting."

Some people remembered: "If you want to talk about art and charm, you have to be a mermaid."

The voice fell, and the surroundings were silent for a second.

The nobles thought of the graceful figure of the mermaid swimming in the water, and the legendary ethereal voice, and immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right. It's a pity, it's just too disobedient, and there's no way to teach it."

The old king walked over cheerfully. He liked to interact with other nobles at banquets, listened to people boasting about himself, and called himself "close to the people".Hearing this, he smiled at the prince and said, "Tonight the crown prince will present you with a mysterious surprise. Guess what it is?"

The prince was surprised: "It can't be a mermaid, right?!"

"That's right!" The old king looked at the amazed eyes of the people around him, both triumphant and uncomfortable.

It is certainly a good thing to have a son who is capable and thoughtful in all aspects, but he was born in the royal family, especially when his body began to gradually decay with the passage of time... it is not necessarily a good thing.

"His Royal Highness is here—"

Coincidentally, a servant's summons came from outside.The nobles all turned their heads to look in the direction of the entrance of the banquet, and saw that the door was slowly opening, and Lu Xing was wearing a black tuxedo, walking into the hall calmly and smiling.

But the eyes of all the nobles were focused on Lin Xiaodong beside him. The little mermaid was sitting on a cloud-shaped domestic aircraft, with a big silver tail stuck in the fluffy and soft white cotton. Seeing so many humans, the end of the tail And trembling nervously.

He wore a long shawl over his upper body, covering it all the way to his tail.I don't know what kind of thread is used to weave this shawl. The material that was originally as transparent as water flow unexpectedly reflects the radiant light under the light, as if a section of starlight was cut and draped over the body.

The audience was silent.

Lu Xing led Yun Duo, walked through the stunned nobles in the banquet hall, came to the old king, and impeccably bowed to him: "Father, the things you ordered to my son, I have already done it in advance." It's done."

But the old king didn't even look him in the eye.

He just stared at Lin Xiaodong in a daze, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay!"

As he said that, he was about to reach out to grab the mermaid's arm, but was stopped by a water film halfway.

"What is this?" The old king finally came to his senses. He was a little annoyed at his gaffe, and glared at his son who was quietly standing beside him. "This place is all your own, why did you turn on the shielding system?"

"Please forgive me," Lu Xing said neither humble nor overbearing, "I was thinking about the safety of you and the other nobles present. He just came here from an alien planet, and he didn't know what kind of germs he was infected with. He has to wait for a while to observe. OK."

But the old king was very dissatisfied with his explanation: "The previous batch, so many mermaids, didn't you do that?"

"So they are all dead," Lu Xing said calmly, "and the cause of death is unknown. Father, there is no need to repeat the same mistakes."

The old king's face was turned blue and white by him, and finally he snorted coldly and walked away angrily.

After he left, the nobles who had only dared to watch the dispute between the father and son from a distance dared to step forward, and countless compliments rained down on Lu Xing: "Your Highness is really young and promising. have to……"

"You can actually snatch the mermaid away from Gu Xi, amazing!"

"But that person named Gu deserves it. I heard that he died in the universe, and there isn't even a body collector."

Hearing Gu Xi's name, the little mermaid who was originally sitting on the cloud turned her head and looked over there.

Lin Xiaodong had lost all expression since entering the palace. Lu Xing knew his behavior well, and warned him softly before entering the door: "I know you don't like those nobles, but you have to trust me, no matter what I do What you say at the banquet is definitely not the truth. As long as you endure tonight, I will take you back and tell you where your people are buried, okay?"

He agreed.

But this does not mean that Lin Xiaodong will give these people a good look.

Lu Xing coughed lightly, and reminded him to be a little more careful with his eyes, at least not to be too obvious.

"Tong," Lin Xiaodong, who was the focus of everyone, flicked his tail casually and asked, "What do you think Lu Xing wants to bring me here dressed like this?"

System: "Show yourself to other nobles?"

"That's just one aspect of it."

what else?The system can't figure it out.

"I don't know if you have noticed that Lu Xing looked at those nobles when no one was paying attention." Lin Xiaodong's lips curled into a playful smile, "You know what kind of expression he gave me? Do you feel it?"

The system subconsciously asked, "What?"

"Sober lunatic." Lin Xiaodong paused every word.

Traveling through the resplendent imperial palace, chatting with nobles who are above hundreds of millions of ordinary people, both the prince and the viscount praised him, but Lu Xing's eyes were cold from beginning to end.

Lin Xiaodong thought that it was enough for young people to act in front of him, but he didn't expect that Lu Xing didn't even bother to act for these people.Sometimes he was so bored that he just ignored the past with a smile on his face while holding the champagne.

The person involved was extremely embarrassed, but the others still thought that Lu Xing had "character" and "had the reserve of a great nobleman".

"Your Highness, can you let him sing for us?" It was the same woman with the fan just now, she looked at Lu Xing with a look of admiration mixed with longing.But the young man just shook his head and looked tenderly at the little mermaid whose cheeks were bulging like a little hamster: "It doesn't matter what I say, you have to ask him yourself."

"Why?" The woman was puzzled, "But isn't he your pet now?"

"Not a pet."

"what?"

"I said, it's not a pet." Lu Xing raised his eyelids, tilted his head and looked at her with a smile, the woman who was still smiling suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: "Hold, I'm sorry Your Highness, I offended you. "

"Humph!"

Suddenly there was a heavy cold snort from the crowd, at the same time, the cloud that was originally floating in the air was kicked from behind suddenly and lost its balance, the little mermaid exclaimed and was about to fall to the ground .

Lu Xing took a sudden step forward and hugged him into his arms at the last moment.

"Who did it?" He turned his head, his eyes became fierce in an instant, "Stand up for me!"

"What's wrong with me?"

A middle-aged man said loudly with disdain.

He is Earl Lian and a loyal loyalist of the old king.Because the old king was dissatisfied with the prince recently, he fanned the flames and put the treasure on the newly born second prince.

The "little pet" he brought today did not receive the expected praise, and was completely robbed of the limelight by Lu Xing. Whether it was to show his sincerity to the old king or to suppress Lu Xing, he didn't think he What's wrong with kicking.

"It's so pitiful." He shook his head, looked down at the little mermaid who was being protected by Lu Xing, and his tone was filled with contempt and pity, "You don't know that you have been abandoned by him, do you? Your clansman , but they were all killed by him, and they were even made into specimens and placed in the palace day and night without peace, and you are still here to recognize the thief as your father?"

"I didn't kill them!" Lu Xing growled, "Obviously you—"

His eyes were red, his expression was grim, and he seemed to be a gaffe that did not conform to the aristocratic demeanor.

The eyes of the nobles around him gradually changed, and even the smile on the earl's face gradually became brighter.He wished that Lu Xing would completely lose his mind in front of everyone, because he had already seen the figure of the old king appearing in the distance - make it bigger!If things get worse, Lu Xing will lose his position as the crown prince!

"do not talk."

Suddenly, a soft call interrupted Earl Lian's delusion.

The little mermaid stretched out her hand, touched Lu Xing's veins that suddenly bulged out of emotion, and whispered, "I believe in you."

Lu Xing was taken aback.

He lowered his head slowly, and exchanged a glance with Lin Xiaodong.

There was complete trust in the eyes of the little mermaid, clear to the bottom, without any haze.

The appearance of that person flashed in his memory, Lu Xing closed his eyes and regained his senses.

"Sorry." He picked Lin Xiaodong up, carefully put him back on the cloud, and nodded slightly at the nobles who were watching the show, "I lost my composure."

"Ding, good guy card fragments +1."

"Really, it's not easy." Lin Xiaodong sighed sincerely, "This Lu Xing is really too difficult to deal with. It's been a long time, and finally we're here again."

System: "Then there are three more, who do you think they are?"

"Well," Lin Xiaodong looked around, and finally fell on the gloomy old king outside the crowd, "it should be him."

"Him?" The system's voice rose slightly, "But how do you get in touch with this guy?"

Lin Xiaodong smiled.

"My dear system," he said in an aria-like manner, "you can't believe that Lu Xing will really take me back?"
