Chapter 6 Best Dishes of Mankind In a church decorated in traditional European style, the wedding march struck up. Wearing a beautiful wedding veil, Lu Mengmeng took her father"s arm and walked down the aisle toward Danjinos. The latter was smiling at his bride. In his exquisite wedding suit, Danjinos looked more handsome than usual. “Mr. Danjinos, are you willing to marry Miss Lu Mengmeng? Whether poor or rich, healthy or unhealthy, to take her as your wife and never renounce this promise?” The priest, holding the black-covered Bible in his hand, was looking at the new couple with mercy and love. “I will,” Danjinos replied, fixing his pa.s.sionate red eyes on Lu Mengmeng as he smiled handsomely. But the next second, he opened his mouth and swallowed the priest. “Oh, no. . .” Lu Mengmeng was shocked by the sudden change and she cried out loudly. She felt her body falling into an abyss and descending quickly. . . The girl immediately woke up from her nightmare. Looking around and finding she was in familiar environment, she calmed herself down and relaxed a little. It was just a dream, though so terrible. She sighed and stood up to take a gla.s.s of water. A tap on the door interrupted her. Now there were only she and Danjinos in this house, she had no need to guess who the visitor was. She went to her bed and pretended to still be sleeping, trying to ignore the knocks. After two seconds, two powerful hands grabbed away her quilt, and begged liked a spoiled child, “I am hungry. Feed me breakfast.” Lu Mengmeng was frightened by his voice and she turned to look at him. “How did you get in?” The man looked back at the broken door on the floor, and replied with spite, “How could your human being’s weak design block me?” Oh my goodness! Mengmeng yelled in her heart. “Look at your tail. How could I take you out anywhere? Don’t you fear of being caught and cooked as spoil fish?” Danjinos took out a machine and said, “I have a molecular mimicry, so it is not a problem to walk like humans.” He changed his tail into human legs in a minute and stood on her blanket with his lower part naked. “Speed up! I can eat you if I get too hungry.” Lu Mengmeng rolled up in less than one second. She must take him out to let him know there were many more wonderful foods to eat than human fresh. Later, in a restaurant, the two sat at a table. Lu Mengmeng read a menu. Her hands trembled a little with inner anxiety. She must order the correct food to seduce the fish to fall in love with the delicious dishes of the human world. That fish gentleman found it interesting when he saw her fears in her eyes, and he started to hum a song. “You are so happy because we will eat something that tastes good?” Lu Mengmeng tried to pretend that she was at ease, but her fear was already quite the opposite. Danjinos joked with her. “Oh, yes. I don’t know how to order, as I am surrounded by so many foods. Hey, look at that baby on the other table. May I order it?” Lu Mengmeng was terrified by his suggestion. Had he expanded his menu to all the guests in the restaurant? Lu Mengmeng raised her hand to the waiter and said, “To the noodles I have ordered, please add more beef until the bowl is too full to hold anything else.” “Hey, try some beef. It tastes much better than human fresh.” Danjinos did his best to not laugh aloud, but pretended to be serious. “Take it easy. I won’t eat humans when I am full.” Mengmeng relaxed with a sigh, her mission to protect human beings completed. In the following days, she brought Danjinos to all the good restaurants she thought the fish might be interested in. Thanks to China, her country had so many good foods that she provided him with different tastes from Monday until Sunday. The new semester of the university was near, and Lu Mengmeng became too nervous to have good rest again. What if the guy went out to eat people when she went to school? On the first day the students came back to school, Lu Mengmeng found the two staff men of Danjinos were living in another house opposite to hers. When she came out once, they were dumping the trash. She chatted with one for a little while and got to know that they two were sent to protect the prince. “You know, he is the last cannibal Merperson. The a.s.sociation cares about every aspect of him, from the safety issue to the increase in quant.i.ty and quality—I mean, reproduction. But to have him feel comfortable, we hide our true intentions,” the man called Zhao Bu explained to her. When he mentioned the word reproduction, his face turned red and he stole a glance at the girl. However, Lu Mengmeng did not see it. “By the way, I’m back to school from today on, so would you take care of his dishes? I am afraid . . .” Lu Mengmeng asked about the most serious issue. “In fact, human beings are not their typical food, and the cannibal Merperson is not the fiercest compared to the other species,” Ma Liuyun, the second staffer, tried to comfort her when he saw the black around her eyes from losing sleep. “Unless a human fell into their water and they happened to be very hungry when pa.s.sing by, they usually won’t eat a human being. Ordinary foods of ours can satisfy them.”
