Cough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spat! Spat! Spat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert spat out all the water he’d swallowed, wiped the moisture from his face, and sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of thing is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just complimented you once—barely a drop of kindness—and you repay me with this much water?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was just going to say… hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before Herbert could speak, he suddenly remembered something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To some extent, could this water be considered the Mermaid Lady’s bathwater?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fish soup?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ugh—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert gagged at the thought. He had no such twisted fetishes—he couldn’t possibly see this as a favor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glug glug glug!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Herbert, who felt slightly nauseous, Freyme inside the water sphere was nearly collapsing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared through the water sphere, desperate, at the uninvited guest: “When did you get in!? No—how did you get in!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You didn’t lock the door. Why can’t I be here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert wiped his face and mouth, replying with full confidence: “Besides, I’m the warden. This is a prison cell—why can’t I come here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But you shouldn’t be here at this time!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freyme felt awful… terribly awful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d been singing at night as usual, thinking no one would hear—and yet this man appeared out of nowhere at midnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t just the shame of being overheard—what filled her heart was a deeper, unspoken guilt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard. He heard!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s going to die soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He… hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freyme suddenly froze, staring blankly at the boy’s calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stare—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t seem like anything had changed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something’s off. Look again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mermaid Lady blinked hard, slowly rising half her body from the water sphere, squinting intently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stare—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s not right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why does he show absolutely no change?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No signs of bodily decay, no madness in his mind… hmm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Really none?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused, Freyme furrowed her brow, abandoning her pretense. She rose fully from the water, bent forward, and leaned in as close as she could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me look properly!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stare—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are you doing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s so interesting about me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the Mermaid Lady’s strange stare, Herbert paused, then looked down at his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert’s white silk nightgown, soaked through by the water, had become translucent, clinging to his skin and outlining the contours of his muscles—and two other things—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holy shit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Female gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is blatant female gaze!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Family, who understands me!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger, trembling, cold—I’ve encountered a bottom-tier sea monster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m gonna post you in a fantasy pink novel!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Female pervert!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait! What are you looking at!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Herbert truly lost his composure. Instinctively, he raised both hands to shield himself, twisted his body sideways, and glared back in alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was just joking with you, and now you’re actually lusting after my body?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A-Zhen, you’re serious?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freyme: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body finally reacted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Herbert’s sudden reaction, her first thought was that her song had finally taken effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But quickly, Freyme realized something was wrong from his movements and suspicious gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s acting like… ah!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait! You misunderstood—I didn’t mean it like that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea creature shook her head frantically, trying to prove her innocence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wasn’t peeking at your body! I swear!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never in her life had she felt this embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What am I even explaining…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Herbert didn’t believe her. He sneered: “You didn’t sneak a peek—you stared openly! Your eyeballs were about to fall out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t! I didn’t! Don’t make things up!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freyme waved her hands wildly. The guilty “peeping tom” retreated under the victim’s fierce accusation, tears welling in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of thing is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Freyme raised the white flag, Herbert suddenly shifted tactics and delivered a crushing blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You didn’t look? Then why not? Are you resisting because you think my body’s ugly? Are you looking down on me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since you used female gaze, don’t blame me for countering with male fist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Friend, this punch carries twenty years of cultivation—can you take it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freyme, who’d never encountered such a tactic, was instantly stunned by this cross-dimensional punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freyme: ?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking down on… what?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not looking down on you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I, I, I… why am I even explaining this to you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freyme finally snapped back to her senses, bursting from the water and forcibly interrupting his tirade:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop! Stop! Stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget all that nonsense—tell me first, why aren’t you affected at all!?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hm? What do you mean ‘not affected’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert blinked, tilting his head in confusion after his punch left him refreshed: “Why should I be affected?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You looked? Fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was just joking—I wasn’t actually afraid you’d look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You wanna look again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he asked, Herbert generously made a show of pulling off his robe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey hey hey! Don't take it off!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Freime closed her eyes and turned her head away, shouting: \"Didn't you hear me sing just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I heard—I told you that from the start! So what are you even talking about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Herbert scratched his head in confusion, unsure why she was so worked up, then remembered the question he’d wanted to ask and went on:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, why didn’t you finish singing the last line of that song? Is there some special reason?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know this song... you really heard it...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this answer, Freime felt a sudden emptiness, slowly sinking back into the water sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glub glub.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really is fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There really are people unaffected by my [Song]...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",969,"2026-06-20T12:31:06.198Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","7fbff0cc3850f99d722f3c5c270e1585dcee9e574b0fc443dbe004481bcc4446","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-42","an-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-chapter-40",453,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fan-improper-monster-girl-s-transformation-diary-cover.jpg"]
