starfish.

This is an ocean planet with 99% water, azure seas and skies, and white waves crashing.

Just then, a group of people fell into the sea!

What does it matter? The rude trespasser deserves to die.

The people were submerged, then reappeared one after another, sometimes sinking and sometimes floating, and soon sank to the bottom of the sea due to the pressure.

At the same time, a chilling breeze began to sweep across the surging water, and the sky began to change, rapidly evolving in an ominous way.

It was thrown back into the water and sank to the bottom of the sea with the waves.

Where the water meets the sky, the scene is bleak and devoid of light.

Undercurrents scattered them, pushing them to visit different areas.

Baoping stretched out his hand, trying to grab his younger brother's hand, but endless waves were crashing against him, and he could only lift one finger with all his strength.

He hummed a couple of times to indicate that he was still alive.

The long struggle for survival had exhausted all the merfolk's strength.

Forced by nature's forces, they were powerless to resist and were simply carried along by the current...

"Who are you? What are you doing in my private waters?"

The blonde-haired, red-eyed merman gently flicked his long blue tail, swimming above Changji's body and looking down at him.

This is a very beautiful mutant merman. Its fan-shaped tail is as bright as its hair, and its layers of scales are even more magnificent than gold, disappearing completely only at its narrow waist.

His skin was different from the pale white of Changji and others; it was as white and tender as tofu, with a slight blush.

Like her mother, the blood below was red.

"Could it be that God heard my wish on my 100th birthday and sent you to me?"

"Listen carefully, if you're willing to let me be your boyfriend, you can live on this planet permanently for free, how about it?"

Changji stared at her silently with his deep blue eyes.

He couldn't understand what the boy was saying.

However, Changji breathed a slight sigh of relief when he discovered that he was from the same clan.

At least... I don't have to worry about being captured and dissected by humans anymore.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take that as a yes." The boy hugged the young man, who was twice his size, and dragged him back to his bed with all his might.

Lying flat on the bed, the boy finally noticed Changji's sunken belly from hunger and opened his mouth wide in surprise: "God, how long has it been since you ate?"

Changji could only sense his emotions; he seemed to be surprised by something.

Is there anything surprising about him?

Could it be that he is nearing the end of his life and has grown old and faded?

Changji tried to raise his arm, but he was too weak to do so. Some things cannot be accomplished simply by trying.

The boy hesitated by the bed for a few seconds, then pushed open the door and swam out.

"I'll go find you some fish to eat. Don't wander off. I'll be very angry if I come back and don't see you."

Changji fell asleep after he left.

I slept very, very soundly, as if an eternity had passed.

He only woke up with a frown when someone forced something cold into his lips.

After seeing what it was, Changji turned his face away: "I won't eat it."

It's incredibly crude of them to feed the Mermaid King untreated fish.

Is the merfolk civilization here still in an uncivilized, primitive state?

"Why aren't you eating? Pearlfish are delicious, and they're good for your skin. Don't you females always love catching them?" The boy was surprised and handed the fish over again.

After Changji had recovered some strength, he made a cutting motion with great effort.

Thank goodness, the boy actually understood, and suddenly realized: "You want to eat fish slices, right?"

"Sigh, I didn't expect my girlfriend to be so hard to please..." He turned around and looked at Changji deeply, his tone suddenly softening: "Considering your natural beauty and captivating charm, I'll reluctantly serve you."

Half an hour later, Changji was served the poorly made fish slices.

If your skills aren't up to par, you can make up for it with the right ingredients.

Overall, the taste is quite good, provided you close your eyes and don't look at the bloody appearance.

After eating two of them, Changji finally regained his normal bodily sensations. A long-lost feeling of hunger returned to his stomach, and he felt dizzy and nauseous...

In almost an instant, Changji's lips turned excessively pale, and his long, snow-white hair cascaded down his back... the bed sheets...

Starfish can only see snow in winter.

At that time, the sea would be frozen over, and the waters would become extremely cold. No one dared to swim upstream for fear of being frozen solid. Therefore, very few merfolk could see snow.

The pure white flowers are dazzling, unlike anything found in the underwater world.

In the boy's eyes, Changji was unbelievably beautiful.

As the light fades, the bioluminescent plants and animals on the seabed begin to hibernate.

The boy walked to the bedside and forcefully pushed Changji to the other side, yelling, "Ouch—"

"Why can't I move it? Why are you so heavy?"

"No wonder you can't swim, it turns out you're too fat."

The boy muttered to himself and pushed several times, but Changji remained lying there motionless, while the boy himself turned red from the effort.

Changji finally understood what he meant, and slightly raised his buttocks, letting him push him a few centimeters to the side.

However, the boy obviously did not expect his "girlfriend" to cooperate with him. He suddenly lost his balance and fell on Changji.

Their eyes met, and both eyes of different colors simultaneously revealed an unnatural expression.

The boy quickly rolled over and lay down next to Changji, convincing himself, "This is my bed. If I don't sleep here, I'll have nowhere else to sleep, so please don't mind."

Changji listened to his words and then fell asleep again.

The boy talked on and on for a long time, but when he didn't hear a response, he prepared to go to sleep.

But before going to sleep, he wanted to ask his "girlfriend" for a goodnight kiss.

"May I?"

He got up and found the person next to him asleep, and a secret joy welled up in his heart.

When I got close to my girlfriend's cheek, I was surprised to smell a fresh fragrance, a fragrance I couldn't quite describe.

It's even more fragrant than the most delicious black crab, yet it's subtle and you can never get enough of it.

He quietly pulled open Changji's clothes to find the source of the fragrance.

As his clothes were removed, Changji showed signs of waking up. He slowly opened his lifeless eyes, but saw nothing. His consciousness was hazy, and the entanglements of his dream pulled him back into it.

The boy searched for a long time but found nothing.

So I turned my attention to the pants. Judging from the fabric, my girlfriend must be someone special.

Could she be a princess from some country?

The boy was frightened by his own guess.

The overwhelming reluctance to part almost drowned his young heart.

"We've only spent half a day together, and I already can't live without you."

"Will you never leave me again?"

The boy hugged his cold, aloof "girlfriend" and, smelling her sweet scent, instinctively rubbed against her several times.

This feeling is amazing, incredibly comfortable.

He, who usually stays up until late at night, actually fell asleep at bedtime.
