Yu Dong was speechless. In the beginning, she was a bit confused and doubtful but now she was certain that this mer was a reincarnation of a hungry ghost but before she could say anything, she heard the mer say pitifully,
" I apologise but I haven't eaten anything for three weeks. I and my wife are small merchants and we were going back home but then we met with bandits and ended up separating, I was literally starved to the point where I thought I was going to die," as he spoke he somehow managed to squeeze a few teardrops in front of Shen Li who was touched by the mer's story as he nodded and then said,
" There are no worries, we have enough. Just fill your stomach."
To think that this pitiful mer was starving for three weeks, as someone who knew what kind of devil hunger was Shen Li very much understood what the mer was feeling which was why he nodded and agreed to bring some warm porridge for the mer.
