Leaving aside how Yu Dandan and Lu Shaodan's hearts were thundering, let's look at Ahqing, who was clearly infuriated.
He glared at the beautiful man in front of him who persistently fawned over him, and at that moment, felt no pang of pity for women. Instead, he quickly extended his hand, drawing a large circle around the merman, firmly imprisoning him within.
The merman panicked, reached out to touch, yet all his fingers felt was an invisible wall.
He immediately cried out in a plaintive tone, "My lord, don't use this trick on me! I really hate it!"
Ahqing didn't even look at him, addressing Lu Shaodan instead, "Shaodan, would you trouble your farmhands to come over and take him back for me, stuff him into the pond."
Thinking it over, still not reassured by the merman's power of seduction, he consequently reached out and pressed on his forehead.
In an instant, the irresistibly charming beauty before him became utterly ordinary.
