Chapter 63: Eternal Day (Twenty-Seven) Ten Days

Wen Yin had never imagined that the mermaid's fever period could make people lose their minds so much.

Not only do we psychologically desire our partner's closeness and companionship, but we also physically clamor to tolerate everything all the time.

Wen Yin then lay by the pool for half an hour, and under the silvery-white scales that had just contained two soft-shelled fish, she began to feel numb and hot again.

The curled up silver-white tail was slowly smoothed out by Youlan, and the tail fin like silver gauze hung down, floating leisurely at the bottom of the pool.

The dark blue and inky black accompanying it are like loyal guardians and predators eyeing the delicious fish.

Wen Yin wagged her tail helplessly, trying to let the flowing water take away some of the heat.

But when the water flowed over the red and trembling scales, he couldn't help but groan.

Then someone lifted her neck which was leaning limply against the edge of the pool, and covered her eyes when she opened them to try to see the person in front of her.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

As soon as she finished speaking, a pair of slightly cool thin lips fell down, blocking her suppressed moan between her lips and teeth.

There was also a kiss hidden beneath the water, landing on the fluttering scales, which was equally pious and exploratory.

The slightly cool tip of the tongue pried open the lips and teeth, pried open the scales, and chased the soft inside of Wenyin.

The warm sound turned into the sweetest and inexhaustible spring water.

-

A traveler in the desert came across a clear spring.

The thirsty traveler came to the spring and looked at the gurgling water curiously.

The traveler was so surprised that he scooped up a pool of clear spring water and sniffed it carefully for a while. After confirming that the taste was sweet and refreshing, he buried his face directly into the spring water and swallowed it unscrupulously.

The spring water splashed on the traveler's face, but he didn't mind at all.

He just prostrated himself beside the sweet spring and drank heartily.

Fortunately, the spring water flows continuously, so there is no need to worry about latecomers having no water to drink.

The traveler drank for a while, then he raised his head reluctantly and dipped his fingers into the spring water with an unsatisfied look.

A slight movement of the fingertips caused ripples on the water surface.

The traveler tentatively dipped in a little deeper and found that the spring was very deep and he could not reach the bottom by just exploring.

Forget it, the traveler decided to drink his fill first.

So he buried himself in the spring water again and drank from it.

-

The hand covering her eyelashes had already moved elsewhere.

Wen Yin didn't have the courage to open her eyes.

The tiny whimpers were swallowed up, leaving only the tip of the tongue that was sore from the kisses and the tail that kept trembling slightly in the water.

Silver and white are interwoven with dark black and dark blue, forming a beautiful picture in the water.

Time passed slowly. After an unknown amount of time, the vibration of the silver tail fin suddenly increased. Along with the spread of dense ripples on the water surface, a touch of sea blue finally emerged from the bottom of the water.

Wen Yin's lips and teeth were finally free.

Cangli's handsome face was exposed under the orange sunset, and there was still a crystal substance on the tip of his nose that obviously did not belong to the pool water.

"Wen Yin."

He called Wen Yin's name softly and moved a little closer.

Wen Yin looked at the almost enchanting face through her eyelashes, which were wet, not sure if from tears or pool water.

Her eyes involuntarily fell on the transparent substance dripping from his tall nose, and she suddenly lowered her head in dismay.

But in the crystal clear water, I saw the inky black and dark blue fish that had been circling underwater.

Wen Yin raised her head again.

Cangli also rubbed Wen Yin's blushing cheek intimately with his nose.

Wen Yin was disgusted and wanted to hide, but Cangli, who noticed her intention, held her cheek.

A kiss like underwater came, and the swollen lips fell on someone else's lips and teeth again.

That's all.

Wen Yin closed her eyes.

Can't run away, can't leave.

Might as well... enjoy it.

-

Wen Yin's consciousness slowly emerged from a warm and exhausted chaos.

When I opened my eyes, I saw only a completely unfamiliar, polished jade pool wall.

She was lying on a piece of warm obsidian immersed in water, and beneath her was a shallow pool that was slightly wider than the previous one.

The water ripples gently, creating a soothing sense of flow.

The surroundings were unusually quiet and deserted.

Cangli and Cangyu were nowhere to be seen, and she was the only one left alone in this shallow pool that seemed to have been specially prepared.

[Host! You finally woke up...]

028's voice sounded immediately, with an eagerness that sounded as if a burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

[How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?]

Wen Yin shook her head gently, and her long black hair spread out in the water.

[How long has this been?]

[Ten whole days!]

028's tone was filled with amazement and fear.

[The female mermaid's 'fever period' is too scary. You were almost half-conscious for the next few days... Cangli and Cangyu...]

028 paused, as if he was having difficulty speaking: [They've hardly left your side for the past ten days, always... um... helping you 'relieve'...]

Wen Yin's thoughts gradually returned to her mind as 028 spoke, and some vague and fiery fragments of memories flooded into her mind like a tide.

The interweaving of cold and heat, embracing skin, and entwined tails.

The low, suppressed breathing, and the extreme feeling of almost melting...

She subconsciously swung her silver fish tail hanging in the water.

Instantly, a strong feeling of pain came clearly.

The muscles in the waist, abdomen and tail feel sore after intense exercise.

And in that most hidden area, even though the scales have closed at this moment, there still seems to be a strange tingling feeling of being completely opened up.

[More than just not leaving…]

028 couldn't help but complain quietly.

[They're like two insatiable conjoined sea snakes, entwining you in ever-changing ways... I'm even afraid your newly transformed body, the host, will fall apart...]

Wen Yin lowered her head and her eyes fell on her waist and abdomen.

The silver scales in that area seemed to be darker in color than other places, revealing a gorgeous crimson of satisfaction.

But fortunately, each scale was tightly closed, returning to its usual smooth and cold appearance.

Just a light touch seems to evoke a slight tremor underneath.

Countless chaotic images of her enduring or responding to something in the water flashed through her mind uncontrollably.

Wen Yin suddenly felt a little unnatural and curled up her beautiful silver tail slightly, as if this could hide those overly private and shameful memories and feelings.

The air still carried the familiar scent of sea salt, mixed with the ambiguous smell unique to after the fever period.

Wen Yin looked around and found no trace of Cangli and Cangyu.

[Cangli and Cangyu?]

[Host, Cangli just went out.]

028 immediately responded, "As for Cangyu... He's always been so elusive, I can't track his whereabouts."

Wen Yin frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable with being left alone.

However, 028's next words immediately made her forget about this discomfort, and her mind suddenly tensed up.

[And those mermaids.]

028's voice suddenly became serious.

[During the ten days you were in fever, the progress on the ship was not delayed at all!]

[The remaining guests have all completed their transformation. Now, there are no real human guests on the entire ship...]

Wen Yin's heart sank suddenly.

[Furthermore,] 028 continued to drop bombshell news: [Those 'things' disguised as 'strange derivatives' and wearing the skins of the original guests have begun to leave the ship in large numbers and in an orderly manner.]

[Leaving the ship?] Wen Yin frowned, [Where is the ship now?]

[The cruise ship has docked at an unfamiliar port.]

028 Quick report, [Those 'disguisers' are wearing human clothes, carrying their luggage, and disembarking from the ship like ordinary tourists, blending into the human world.]

[What about the transformed humans?]

Wen Yin asked, and she remembered the numbered containers in the bottom of the cabin, [those were the humans who had truly become mermaids.]

[They were all taken out of their containers and placed into large, specially built mobile aquariums brought from the port.]

[Each box is shielded from light, so you can't see inside. However, through energy scanning, it can be confirmed that the newborn mermaids are inside.]

[Looking at the movement of equipment and personnel, it seems they were acquired by a biotech company.]

[Acquisition?]

Wen Yin's brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

[According to past rules, these "mermaids" transformed from humans will spend a year in darkness on the cruise ship.]

[And then, next year, it will become a 'product' for some new passenger.]

[But now, these 'mermaids' have been taken off the ship and no longer belong to this cruise ship...]

028 The child’s voice was full of thought, and suddenly the pitch rose a little.

[Host, does this mean that Cangyu and the others no longer want to play this repetitive, endlessly recurring game!]

Wen Yin's heart skipped a beat, and out of the corner of her eye she caught a glimpse of Cangli walking towards her.

Those are human legs, not the mermaid's blue tail.

Wen Yin suddenly opened her eyes wide in surprise.

Cangli walked to the edge of the pool and squatted down.

"Why are you so surprised?"

His voice was low, with a faint smile, as if he was enjoying Wen Yin's astonishment at the moment.

Wen Yin's eyes were still glued to his long legs, and her voice was still hoarse when she spoke: "Your legs?"

"Cangyu is too busy, I have to transform into a human form and help him deal with some matters."

Cangli said it lightly, as if it was just a trivial matter.

He leaned forward slightly, his arms casually resting on his knees.

The collar of the silk robe was not tightly closed, but slightly open, revealing the well-defined collarbone and a small piece of cold white skin.

His long dark blue hair turned into short hair of the same color, with a few strands of hair hanging down in front of his forehead, making his face look charming and gentle, very much like the kind of artist who collects folk songs outside, enjoys life, and has no worries about food and drink.

Especially those eyes, which were still the same deep blue as the deep sea. At this moment, they were looking at Wen Yin without blinking, with some elusive interest in their eyes.

Wen Yin's surprise subsided a little: "You can also switch between mermaid and human freely?"

Cangli nodded, a subtle arc at the corner of his lips, "Yes."

"I thought... you couldn't change legs, only tails."

Wen Yin spoke in a hoarse voice, her eyes sweeping over his legs, which were indeed no different from those of a human. She could even see the clearly defined ankles exposed under his trouser legs.

"How could that be?"

Cangli chuckled, "Cangyu and I come from the same source, so naturally I can switch freely like him."

He paused, the light in his blue eyes becoming focused, even penetrating, as he slowly added, "It's just that compared to human legs, I prefer tails."

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes lowered, and with an undisguised scrutiny, he slowly and dangerously swept over Wen Yin's shiny fish tail immersed in the water.

The gaze was so hot that it seemed to be able to penetrate the clear pool water, causing the tip of Wen Yin's tail to curl up slightly unconsciously, stirring up a small amount of tiny splashes of water.

Seeing Wen Yin curled up her tail, seemingly worried about his reaction to something he might do, Cangli raised his hand and touched Wen Yin's slightly tired eyebrows.

"I won't bother you. Just take a rest and sleep for a while, okay?"

Wen Yin shook her head and listened attentively to the noisy voices in the distance.

Her eyes lit up as she looked at Cangli: "Has the cruise ship docked? I seem to hear a lot of voices."

She gently swung her still weak tail, creating some splashes of water.

"I want to leave the pool and go outside."

Cangli lowered his eyes and looked at her silver-white tail, which had obviously not yet recovered its strength. After thinking for a few seconds, he made a decision.

He took a step with his long legs and stepped into the pool without hesitation.

The cold water instantly soaked his expensive silk trousers and clung to his sleek calves.

Cangli leaned over, put his arms under her armpits and under her tail fin, and with a little force, he picked up Wen Yin, who was still lying on the stone by the pool, by the waist.

Drops of water dripped from Wen Yin's tail and hair, hitting the water surface and her robe.

Cangli held her firmly to his chest, his tone full of concern.

"You just finished your fever, and your tail is still very limp and can't support you standing. Can I carry you out to see the doctor?"

Wen Yin subconsciously put her arm around Cangli's shoulders.

She nodded, and sighed silently in her heart: She was used to feeling the movement of his dark blue fish tail, but now the touch of a human waist and abdomen made her feel a little uncomfortable for some reason.

As Cangli carried her onto the terrace, the noisy sounds hit them in the face.

Before our eyes is a huge and extremely busy port.

The cruise ship they were on stood majestically at the dock, casting a large shadow.

The crowd on the dock below was as small as ants, moving in dense crowds.

The noise, whistles and roar of cranes are intertwined together, full of the vitality of the world.

Wen Yin looked down, sweeping across the people waving and hugging each other warmly.

Soon, her eyes fixed on a few "people" who were blending into the crowd and looked no different from ordinary people.

They were wearing human clothes, with smiles on their faces that were either stiff or overly bright, and were talking to their "relatives and friends" who came to pick up the boat.

Occasionally, there's a hint of inhuman coordination or a slight pause between movements.

These are the "strange creatures that left the ship disguised as humans" mentioned by 028.

They fit perfectly into this lively picture.

She subconsciously tightened her arms around Cangli's shoulders, looked up at his graceful profile, and asked the question in her heart aloud.

"What about those mermaids who were transformed from humans? Were they... also sent away like this?"

Cangli also withdrew his gaze from the port and fell on Wen Yin's face.

His blue eyes appeared lighter in the sunlight, yet colder, like the surface of a frozen sea.

He chuckled, his tone nonchalant yet cruel.

"Since humans are so obsessed with exploring the secrets of mermaids, longing for the value contained in our tears, our scales, and our flesh and blood..."

His arms held Wen Yin steadily, his voice low, almost blending into the noise of the harbor, but clearly penetrating into her ears.

"Then, as they wish. We will completely 'send' these creatures, who have long lost their true nature and are no longer worthy of being called 'humans', back to them."

"Let them... enjoy this 'gift' from the deep sea."

The cold tone suddenly changed when it met Wen Yin's amber eyes.

Cangli lowered his head slightly and rubbed his nose against her wet ear fins, and got a trembling silver fish as he wished.

When he looked up again, the blue eyes were filled with the attachment and disguised pity that Wen Yin was familiar with.

"Wen Yin, would you dislike me for being so cruel?"

Wen Yin certainly knew what she should answer. She shook her head and looked straight at Cangli.

"What about me?"

"All I care about is this journey is over. Where are you going to take me?"

"Where do you want to go?"

Wen Yin finally got the answer to this most critical question.

She gently put her face close to Cangli's cold, heartless chest, and her tone was full of temptation and bewitchment.

"I want to see your hometown. I want to get away from the human world and go to a place where no human has ever set foot."

"I want to be with you, away from the human world, forever."

"May I?"
