The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

Seeing that Gu Ran still wouldn't eat the fish she threw to her, the little mermaid looked confused. After a while, her pink face puffed up in anger.

Gu Ran found it amusing; although this little mermaid was beautiful, she seemed to be a little dim-witted.

Being able to see such a view before dying is quite nice, so Gu Ran simply closed her eyes, trying to fall asleep quickly.

Then, to Gu Ran's surprise, not long after, one, two, and three small fish were thrown over one after another, landing with a thud beside him.

?

Gu Ran really couldn't understand the little mermaid's thought process.

Why is this never going to end? Are you planning to open a seafood store?

He saw the little mermaid persistently repeat the feeding motion several more times, the number of times exactly matching the number of small fish she threw over, while her smug expression grew even stronger.

It's as if a young girl in her prime has just gotten a perfect score on a math exam.

Are they treating me like I'm mentally challenged and can't count? And they made me do the same action for every single fish.

Gu Ran really admired the little mermaid's persistence, but she didn't know why she was so persistent.

Gu Ran hesitated. Maybe she should just eat one and not let them down. It wasn't easy for them to catch so many live fish.

Feeling weak and tired, but not yet dead, Gu Ran slowly sat up.

He picked up a small fish from a rock and then looked at the little mermaid.

Seeing that Gu Ran had finally made a move, she smiled victoriously and looked at him expectantly.

"Okay, even though it's raw, at least it can fill my stomach." Gu Ran comforted himself as he saw the little mermaid's expectant look and felt his own hunger.

Then he gently pressed the small fish to death, slowly put it into his mouth, and began to chew it.

That taste...

Even Gu Ran, who had suffered greatly since childhood, would remember this dish for a lifetime.

Seeing Gu Ran eat the little fish she had caught, the little mermaid happily splashed water with her pink tail.

Are you that happy?

Seeing the little mermaid so happy, Gu Ran felt much better herself, for some reason.

Although the taste of raw fish is generally unpalatable to most people, it does indeed reduce the feeling of hunger.

When the little mermaid saw that Gu Ran had finished eating a small fish and stopped, she began to mimic eating again.

It seemed to be urging him to eat quickly, as there were still a few pieces left.

Gu Ran: "......"

Can't you give me a break?

The unforgettable taste of eating raw small fish is something you have to try to understand.

Gu Ran paused for a while before continuing to eat the fish, ignoring the little mermaid's constant urging.

After eating several small fish, the hunger in my stomach finally subsided considerably.

At the same time, Gu Ran also felt that she had reached her limit.

"If only we had a fire," Gu Ran couldn't help but sigh.

He has no special abilities now and is in the middle of nowhere, so naturally there is no fire for him to grill fish.

But it is precisely because of this that he misses even more the delicious taste of food cooked over a fire.

Perhaps it was because he ate a few small fish, but Gu Ran felt as if he had regained some of his strength.

As night deepened, the moon hung in the treetops.

Although he had regained some strength, Gu Ran didn't intend to do anything. Instead, he rested his hand behind his head and watched the moon slowly rise.

"The moon is bright and the stars are few; it seems there won't be any heavy rain tonight," Gu Ran thought with some regret.

If there's heavy rain, he'll definitely get sick given his current health, and he'll probably die faster then.

Crash.

The sound of splashing water could be heard from the river.

The little mermaid first looked at Gu Ran's actions with curiosity, then found a rock by the river and imitated him by placing her hands on the rock and tilting her head back.

Under the moonlight, half of the Little Mermaid's tail, which was lying on its side, was exposed above the water, shimmering. Her skin was also white and smooth as jade, and delicate enough to be broken with a touch.

"So beautiful." Gu Ran, who turned around, was stunned.

Seemingly noticing Gu Ran's gaze, the little mermaid also turned to look at him, and their eyes met.

But after only a few seconds, the Little Mermaid's gaze immediately turned away as if she had been burned.

Then, after pretending to lie there for a short while, he couldn't stand it anymore and quickly left, swimming far away.

Listening to the rushing water and watching the little mermaid's hurried departure, Gu Ran felt a little regretful.

She's quite shy.

That's right, Gu Ran knew that the little mermaid was in a hurry to leave because she was shy, because he had clearly seen her blush by the moonlight.

It's as red as a just-ripe apple, making you want to take a bite.

65. The Little Mermaid who thought she had been poisoned

For Gu Ran, The Little Mermaid was just an interlude in his life.

His current life theme is finding a comfortable way to die, so he doesn't suffer for too long.

Therefore, he didn't take the Little Mermaid's shy departure to heart, and simply waited quietly for his final fate.

Then, as Gu Ran waited, she felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her and fell into a deep sleep.

Did I finally die successfully?

This was Gu Ran's last thought before she fell asleep.

......

Gu Ran felt his nose was itchy, as if something was scratching it.

He couldn't help but sneeze.

Suddenly opening his eyes, Gu Ran saw a beautiful face that seemed both angry and happy, with wide pink eyes looking at him curiously, and a strand of pink curly hair falling onto his face.

A small pink conch shell hung on her chest, swaying gently on a slightly sizable hill, attracting attention.

The little mermaid's face lit up with surprise when she saw Gu Ran open his eyes.

But in an instant, she seemed startled and plunged into the water with a splash, swimming away.

"Am I not dead?" Gu Ran sat up on the rock, curiously observing his body.

To his surprise, his health not only did not continue to deteriorate, but actually improved significantly.

It seemed that because of the few small fish he ate yesterday, Gu Ran felt that his strength had returned to a lot. Then, he touched the wound on his chest and found that it didn't hurt as much as it did yesterday. It even felt a little itchy, as if it was healing.

Then there's his skin, which is no longer as dry and shriveled as before, but has become much fuller.

"Strange, what happened to me? How am I still alive?"

Gu Ran tried to stand up and move around a bit.

Compared to yesterday when he could barely stand up, today he could easily stand up with just a thought.

Although I still feel weak and tired, the progress I've made is clearly enormous.

This suggests that he is not only likely to survive, but will also gradually recover his health!

"Could it be that I ate something yesterday and replenished my nutrition?"

Gu Ran shook his head. Although the small fish from yesterday could reduce his hunger, they were not a panacea that could heal his injuries.

"Forget about that for now. Now that we can move around, let's observe the surroundings for a while." Gu Ran started walking towards the grove.

Every step he took aggravated his wounds, causing Gu Ran pain, but compared to before, the pain was now within his tolerance.

The most important thing now is to find out the environmental conditions in the vicinity and whether there are any dangers.

It would be somewhat darkly humorous if his health gradually improved, only to die for other reasons.

In the grove, Gu Ran picked some edible wild fruits that he had seen in books, while quietly listening to the sounds of nature.

After gathering a handful of wild fruit and not hearing any roars of ferocious beasts, Gu Ran felt much more at ease.

It seems that Leng Feng has indeed found him a blessed place, free from even the intrusion of ferocious beasts.

Gu Ran walked back, intending to go to the river to wash herself.

The mud on his body was sticky and made him very uncomfortable.

As Gu Ran walked out of the grove, he saw the little mermaid anxiously circling around the rock where he had been lying.

Seeing Gu Ran return, she called out happily.

"Well--"

But then she covered her mouth with her little hand and swam away again.
