Chapter 1029: Chapter 759: First Date

The beastmen who were rebuilding the palace were wide-eyed to see Your Majesty personally accompany a female for a leisurely stroll.

Upon seeing the breathtaking and ethereal beauty of the female and smelling the faint fragrance in the air, the beastmen’s gaze turned amazed and mesmerized!

A young male beastman was carrying stone materials, and almost stumbled and got his foot crushed by a stone.

"Stop staring! Get back to work!" an older beastman beside him scolded softly, unable to resist glancing twice himself.

Shen Tang didn’t mind the wandering eyes; it couldn’t be helped, she was too charming and long used to it.

However, she noticed that whenever the gaze of a male beastman lingered on her too long, the man beside her would quietly glance in that direction.

That gaze was calm, not even fierce, but the beastmen it grazed shivered and immediately lowered their heads to work, not daring to look up again.

Liu Ye still had a gentle smile on his face, and lightly asked her, "Tangtang, are you tired? Would you like to sit over there for a while?"

Shen Tang shook her head, "Not tired, let’s keep walking."

The two continued walking forward, passing a pavilion under construction, where a young male mermaid was standing high up and piecing together the beams.

He looked to be just over twenty, with handsome features, a slender build, and light blue, slightly wavy long hair that floated gently in the deep sea.

The clothes he wore were different from an ordinary attendant’s, looking more luxurious and exquisite, indicating he held some position in the palace, likely backed by an aristocratic family.

Many idle young lords of good family background would choose to find a leisurely position in the palace during their youth.

When that mermaid male saw Shen Tang passing below, he was dumbstruck and slipped, falling from his high perch.

"Ah,!"

Shen Tang instinctively dodged to the side, and the mermaid male fell solidly on the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Cough cough cough..." He climbed up clumsily, and when he looked up, he met Shen Tang’s gaze, his face instantly turning bright red.

"S-sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose! I-I..." he stammered, his eyes inadvertently darting to Shen Tang’s face, his handsome face turning even redder and seemingly surrounded by heart-shaped bubbles.

Liu Ye’s eyelid twitched at the sight, a trace of inexplicable displeasure flashing through his mind, along with some faint irritation.

He moved his fingers, suppressing the urge to act.

He had to maintain his persona, continue playing the fool, couldn’t let the female think he was ruthless.

Shen Tang saw that the beastman’s fall was heavy and casually asked, "Are you okay?"

The mermaid male’s eyes lit up and he immediately shook his head, "I’m fine, really! Thank you for your concern!"

With that, astonishingly, he took out a luminous pearl the size of a fist from his bosom, holding it in both hands and presenting it to Shen Tang with a flushed face, nervous and expectant,

"Greetings, madam, may you be well! This, this is an exceptional luminous pearl I collected a few days ago in the deep sea, I heard the females on land also like shiny things, and I’ve brought it for you!"

The surrounding beastmen all gasped audibly.

Oh my, this lad is courting disaster!

Does he not see to whom he’s trying to show favor, that’s the beauty beside Your Majesty!

Shen Tang was taken aback, not expecting the youth to be so direct.

She instinctively looked toward "Jia Lan" beside her.

Liu Ye’s expression grew gentler, seemingly unconcerned.

He lowered his gaze to the mermaid male offering favors, his tone incredibly gentle, "You really are enthusiastic toward my companion."

The mermaid male froze, barely able to hold the luminous pearl, his face shifting from red to white to blue, stammering, "Your, Your Majesty, it wasn’t my intention! I-I just..."

"Just what?" Liu Ye’s smile remained unchanged, even extending a hand to help him up, "Come on, did you hurt yourself falling?"

The mermaid male was helped up, utterly bewildered.

Your Majesty actually treated him so kindly? Isn’t Your Majesty rumored to be ruthless?

Still dazed, he heard Liu Ye continue to speak in that gentle tone:

"Since you’re so attentive to my partner, just perfect, the northern Crystal Stone Mine recently lacks manpower, you should go there and mine, perform well."

The mermaid male’s face turned completely pale.

Northern mine? That’s the harshest, most exhausting place in the whole sea area! Going there, nine out of ten beastmen never return!
