She pressed her fingertips against his soft lips. "Don't lie."

Jialan bent over slightly.

"Miss you."

As he opened and closed his lips, he tucked her fingertips inside.

Yun Lian teased his tongue like she was playing with a dog, and his breathing gradually became heavier.

She suddenly pulled her hand away. "I'm hungry."

Jialan realized what she had done again and belatedly got up. "I'll make it for you right away."

He stumbled and bumped into many things along the way.

Yun Lian rested her chin on her hand, waiting patiently for his return.

I wonder if he's been secretly practicing. Last time he burned himself while making porridge, but this time he brought three dishes and a soup in no time.

"Jialan, besides the place we usually stay in, what other fun places are there on Mermaid Island?"

Jialan was surprised.

Aside from staying in her master's room, she almost never considered going out.

Upon hearing her question, a hint of excitement flashed in Jialan's eyes.

"The island isn't very interesting, except for some arenas and filthy places like dance halls. But the seabed is very interesting. If you like, I can take you to see the stars underwater."

The underwater starry sky sounds so romantic.

"Where can I see it? Can I go to the bottom of the sea? I'm afraid of water."

Jialan felt needed by her, and her heart was filled with joy, even more so than when she completed the task assigned by her master.

"Don't worry, I'll give you fish scales, you'll be very free underwater."

While the two chatted, Yun Lian ate and drank her fill, and he quickly cleaned up.

Standing next to Yun Lian, I wanted to pluck out his protective scales.

Yun Lian reached out and grabbed him, pulling him towards her.

"Is giving me fish scales the only way I can breathe in the water? Is there no other way? Jialan, I don't want you to be in pain."

The two were very close, and Jialan could almost see every single one of her eyelashes.

"To mate with a mermaid is to be able to move freely underwater for three days, and to kiss her is to be able to breathe underwater for an hour."

The words had barely left her lips when they touched something soft.

The sudden sweetness made him instinctively pursue her, almost taking everything from her.

Yun Lian gave her a gentle push, and Jia Lan, though confused, obediently let her push away with barely perceptible force.

“Yun Lian…”

With a hint of grievance.

"But why don't I feel any change? Jialan, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"I would never lie to you! I swear!"

Yun Lian was amused by his sudden action and burst into laughter.

The neckline, which had been pulled open earlier, now boldly revealed a tempting curve of white skin.

"Jialan, I'm hungry."

Jialan stared in disbelief at her still flat stomach.

"Didn't we just eat? Are you hungry again so soon?"

Yun Lian immediately threw herself into his arms.

"I want to eat something else now..."

She gently bit Jialan's Adam's apple, and almost instantly, Jialan's incomparably beautiful fins appeared behind her ears, and ancient patterns emerged on her face.

"Lianlian, you seduced me, so it's not like I bullied you."

Before Yun Lian could figure out the meaning behind his words, the world spun around them, and he finally got what he wanted.

Zhuyue was meditating at the bottom of the sea when she suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The array below suddenly lit up, and when he looked up, he saw the two people entangled in the water curtain.

He had just raised his arm to disperse the water curtain when he was powerless to lower it again.

Almost torturing herself, Zhu Yue gazed at the little human who had been completely devoted to her just a few days ago, and gently yielded to his advances.

Tears welled in her eyes, and her fair, jade-like toes were taut.

Zhuyue's breath was disordered and she was in a sorry state.

"I should have known that letting go would lead to this result."

But why does my heart, which has been dormant for so many years, suddenly hurt so much?

He thought he could endure it.

Being swayed by human emotions is a bad thing for any mermaid.

Especially for a shaman like him, who holds the lifeline of the entire tribe in his hands, it is even more important not to get involved.

Almost as soon as the two finished and he saw her tightly closed eyes, Zhuyue came outside the room.

Upon hearing his telepathic message, Jialan rushed out in a panic.

"Master, didn't you say you wouldn't be back for several more days?"

Why are you back so quickly?

Zhu Yue felt a bitter taste in his throat, and every word he uttered felt like a knife cutting into his internal organs.

"She can't endure that long; it will hurt."

Having just tasted the sweet fruit of tranquility, how could Jialan know how to exercise restraint?

He saw tears welling up in her eyes more than once, yet it was like a beautiful painting, making him want to explore more.

Even with her thick skin, Jialan felt a little uncomfortable when someone she had always respected suddenly said such things.

“Master, Yun Lian and I… From now on, let her come to my palace with me. I will take good care of her.”

Zhuyue clenched her teeth and swallowed the rising taste of blood.

“She is not offered as a sacrifice by humans, she does not belong to us, Garan. If you have the ability to keep her, then go ahead and do so.”

Jialan was overjoyed and was about to walk into the room to carry Yunlian away when he was suddenly stopped.

"She finally fell asleep, don't disturb her."

"Yes, Master." Jialan looked back every few steps until her master erected the water wall again, blocking all sight, before slowly leaving.

He wanted to decorate his place beautifully, even more beautifully than his master's.

She's so delicate, she can't just sleep in a clam shell; we need to prepare a soft little bed for her, just like her master did.

Yun Lian was still half asleep when she felt the hand climbing up her waist again. She protested, "No, Jialan, be good, I can't take it anymore..."

Zhuyue's fingers trembled slightly, but she didn't refute it; instead, she coaxed her.
