Chapter 204 The Tide "No one will hear you cry in the sea."...
Jiang Yuhuo had no time to think it over carefully.
That single word, "I want you," was like a command. In a dizzying moment, Jiang Yuhuo was carried back to the bed where she had first woken up.
The largest luminous pearl hangs high above our heads. I had thought its light was faint before, but now it seemed too bright, revealing everything that should and shouldn't be seen.
It was so clear it made one want to look away in embarrassment and anger, but she wasn't one to run away from things; she was just a little lost and confused.
Then what?
What should we do next?
She has always been a responsible and proactive person. Since he was still recovering from serious injuries, she naturally felt that she should be the one to complete this task.
The sound of water around her made it impossible for her to think. Just as she was about to push the person away, Jia Yue suddenly released her earlobe and breathed softly.
"You can do whatever you want to me..."
It was like teaching, yet also like enticement: "Eat whatever place you like..."
After saying that, he went to suck on her earlobe, clearly having found a place he liked.
Later, Jiang Yuhuo realized how prematurely she had drawn her conclusion; there were far more places she liked than just this one…
The nest was quiet; the magic array isolated everything outside, from the seawater to any sound. It was as if only the two of them remained in the world.
In this place where no one would ever bother her, she could do whatever she wanted. But she was like a poor child who was used to being hungry; even when placed in front of a table full of delicious food, she didn't know where to begin eating.
The white jade lay bare and flawless, waiting for her to enjoy it, but she remembered the body covered in wounds in the forbidden chamber of the Heavenly Palace.
If she touches me, will it still hurt?
Jia Yue waited patiently for a long time, but what she finally received was an embrace and a careful kiss on his shoulder.
"Really..."
His breath caught in his throat for a moment, then a warm feeling spread through his heart, a tingling sensation he couldn't help but feel. He held the person in his arms tightly and sighed, wishing that their flesh and bones could become one.
"What should I do with you..."
It's true... I love her so much that I can't do anything about it.
This love did not diminish; instead, it grew stronger day by day. He was completely under her control, and everything he owned belonged to her.
They could only submit and let her do as she pleased.
But when that burning hot body pressed against him, it recklessly absorbed his coolness, moving to another spot when one place got too hot, unaware of how much effort this subtle, teasing touch was putting on him.
The desire to become one with her was unwavering, but... he had to wait for her.
She leaned on his shoulder, her gaze lingering three inches below his collarbone, her fingertips tracing the area but carefully avoiding touching it.
Jia Yue knew what she was thinking; there had once been a deep, bloody hole there.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, I'm fine now."
He kissed her cheek, took her hand and wanted to place it under her collarbone to confirm her presence, but she leaned in and kissed it once, twice, three times...
She said, "Let's give this place a little breath of fresh air too."
The warm breath brushed against my skin, sending a shiver down my spine.
His patience had reached its limit, and he had no choice but to turn her face towards him, lower his head and capture her lips in his mouth, kissing her passionately, and asking her, "Do you remember what we were going to do?"
Jiang Yuhuo felt slightly dizzy from the kiss, and comfortably closed her eyes in his cool embrace, nodding as she nuzzled his chest, but made no further move.
He shifted his position slightly, using body language to remind her who was waiting for her, and gently bit her ear as if punishing her, "You said you wanted me, why aren't you here yet?"
She opened her eyes, her bright pupils filled with clear desire.
This is desire for him.
He picked the person up and sat them on his lap, forehead to forehead. "Want to do it again?"
Jiang Yuhuo gently shook her head, "No, it will make me dizzy."
The first time had already left her in a daze for a long time, and the second time she didn't know what strange thing she would become.
Remembering her mission, she tried to do what Jia Yue had done to her, gently kissing his cool, soft lips. But in this respect, she wasn't a good student.
My teeth hit my mouth again.
Those deep blue eyes were fixed on her, and the sea rippled with a smile. Jiang Yuhuo felt uneasy when she saw this, so she covered his eyes with one hand.
"What's wrong? I want to look at you."
As Jia Yue spoke, she did not push her hand away.
"No."
"Why?"
"You're making fun of me."
"I'm just happy."
"That's not allowed either."
"Okay, I promise I won't laugh anymore, let me go." Jia Yue replied patiently, "I just want to look at you."
Jiang Yuhuo still refused to let go, saying, "You were like this the first time we were in the Imperial Palace in Xidu City."
"What?" Perhaps because he couldn't see her, his body unconsciously searched for her location. With just one movement, both of them stiffened and brushed past each other.
"She sneaked into my room at night, took the essence of the mermaid pearl, and then disappeared. I didn't know anything and thought I was dreaming."
Jiang Yuhuo's heart was pounding; the friction wasn't over yet.
"I didn't want to leave, but I was afraid of upsetting you... so I had no choice..."
Jia Yue gritted his teeth and endured it. The darkness amplified his senses, and he was unwilling to leave no matter what; he wanted to go inside.
Sensing his intention, Jiang Yuhuo shrank back slightly.
Jia Yue supported her waist, her palms damp with the fine sweat from Jia Yue's touch. "I left something in the room, something you clearly liked..."
Jiang Yuhuo knew what he meant. He had left a set of clothes. She looked down at the ground and saw the black clothes folded over the white robe, just like their owner.
"Yes, I've always liked that dress...it fits me perfectly."
However, it didn't fit her perfectly right now, and Jiang Yuhuo was a little impatient. This little bit of pain was nothing to her; it was the fact that it wasn't quite right that made her uncomfortable, and she was constantly worried.
"Don't rush, you're not ready yet..." Jia Yue stopped her from going any further, gently stroking her back to soothe her, kissing the beads of sweat that flowed down her neck. She held the beads in her mouth as if afraid they would melt, so she used the tip of her tongue to tease them.
"Do you know why that outfit fits you so well?" Jia Yue suddenly asked.
Jiang Yuhuo groggily opened her eyes and saw a layer of light blue mist rising before her—the breath of the mermaid pearl. But she felt as if a mist had also risen in her mind, making her feel light and unsteady, a very strange feeling.
"……have no idea."
When you can't think straight, you can only answer honestly.
She was enveloped in that mist, and vaguely wondered if this strange feeling was due to the mermaid pearl or the mermaids.
As if she had already anticipated her answer, Jia Yue chuckled softly, "Of course it's because I've carefully... calculated every single inch." Her body trembled slightly as she held him, and Jia Yue slowly said, "You may not know, but merfolk's hands... are naturally dexterous."
Jiang Yuhuo took a deep breath. She knew, she knew now! Her mind was in turmoil...
She leaned weakly on Jia Yue's shoulder, burying her face in it, knowing that her face must be bright red, and bit his shoulder in a fit of anger.
The merman wasn't angry at all; he simply stroked her back gently, and the water from his hand ended up on her back.
Jiang Yuhuo felt that he must have done it on purpose.
She was angry, but dared not actually bite off a piece of his flesh; she simply refused to let go.
"Are you angry?" Jia Yue gently soothed, her hands moving unhurriedly. "It's my fault, I'll apologize to you, okay?"
His apology...
Jiang Yuhuo painfully tilted her head back, her mind taut, and she felt the pearly light in the room dissipate in an instant, like a sky full of stars.
She accepted his apology.
However, this was only the beginning. Just as an army sends out scouts to scout out the marching route before setting out, she had fought before and should have understood this. But no marching route could be captured by just one scout. She realized she had been too naive.
"Don't be afraid..." The merman's kiss landed, entwining her lips and tongue, slowly stirring them together.
Jiang Yuhuo had no strength to chase after him. Her consciousness became sluggish, and her body was weak. She could only let him take whatever he wanted, no matter where he was.
She heard Jia Yue's hoarse voice, "It's because I haven't done enough..."
Is that...not enough?
What else do you want?
Jiang Yuhuo suddenly regretted refusing when he asked if she wanted to have another spiritual communion; now this slow and protracted torment was even more unbearable.
But clearly, it's too late to regret it now.
As if she genuinely wanted to apologize, Jia Yue released her, laid her flat back on the couch, and gently kissed away the sweat on her cheeks and neck, as if cleaning her up.
The kisses landed on every spot, offering silent comfort, even in the most secret moments.
Jiang Yuhu bit her lip, her brows furrowing in pain once more.
She lay on the couch, her gaze falling on the mural above her head, which depicted a scene from years ago when she fed fruit to the mermaids.
Back then, the merfolk were very picky eaters, unlike today where they are indiscriminate in their food choices. She offered him fresh fish, shrimp, and clams she had caught, but he turned his nose up at them. However, one day he took a liking to the wild fruit in her hand. The girl opened her hand to him with some doubt, and the ripe wild fruit was revealed to the merfolk.
Is this what he wants to eat? Can he... eat it?
But the book clearly states that merfolk eat fish and shrimp, and big fish eat small fish—it's a very simple principle.
Jiang Yuhuo didn't understand, but she still tried to hand it to him. The merman didn't take it, but started eating it from her hand.
The mural depicts this very moment.
The wild fruit had been kneaded by hand and was already a little soft. The merman took a small bite and immediately tasted the sweet juice inside the fruit.
Seemingly having not eaten for a long time, the merman ate with great care, finishing the entire wild fruit bite by bite, without spilling a single drop of juice. He even carefully nibbled off the flesh near the pit before reluctantly spitting out the pit and returning it to her.
She was happy that she finally had food to feed him, so she went up the mountain every day to pick fresh wild fruits for him.
She remembers everything.
You can clearly feel every detail.
The memories overwhelmed her, leaving her utterly devastated.
The tension in her mind finally snapped. She had never imagined that one day she would become food for a mermaid, being devoured and emptied by him like this.
Jia Yue looked up from below and saw that Jiang Yuhuo was biting the back of her hand with her eyes tightly closed. He pinched her chin, "Little Jiang, let go, don't bite yourself..."
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "It's all better now."
What's ready?
Jiang Yuhuo's mind went blank. She opened her eyes with difficulty, but her gaze was unfocused and absent.
When I finally managed to focus my gaze, I saw the wetness on his lips.
She quickly looked away as if she had been burned, but her eyes still caught his attention.
The merman smiled. "There's a little left... is that right?"
He flicked his tongue, and under her gaze, swallowed the drop of water.
His table manners have always been refined and elegant, both then and now.
But this scene was like a bolt from the blue; Jiang Yuhuo felt as if she no longer recognized him.
Jia Yue lifted her up from the couch and sat her on his lap.
"Do you want to eat it?"
Jiang Yuhuo thought he meant kiss, so she pulled back slightly. She wasn't really willing to kiss him at the moment, but it was only with this movement that she belatedly realized he meant something else.
Sitting like this, she was slightly taller than Jia Yue. Looking down at the person beneath her, her slightly upturned face, bathed in the glow of pearls and the aura of the mermaids, appeared even more holy and handsome, as beautiful as a dream. Infinite tenderness was hidden in her eyes, but her body was excessively cold and hard.
Jiang Yuhuo recalled the first time she saw him. The unconscious merman lay under the moonlight by the flowing water, vulnerable and helpless, easily evoking the pity of passersby.
He was the moon hanging high in the sky, and also the coolness that fell into her arms.
Years later, she picked up the mermaid again, took him back to her home, opened all her defenses, let him into the deepest part of her home, and hid him in the most secret place.
No one can take him away anymore, and no one can separate them anymore.
Inside the nest, mist and steam swirled and intertwined, indistinguishable from one another...
A blush crept onto his pale cheeks, his brows furrowed in unbearable tension, and the strands of black hair that fell from his fingers swayed gently…
The merman kept staring at the person in front of her, her gaze unbearable, not wanting to miss a single moment, whether it was the breath that escaped from her teeth or the tremor that ran through her body.
His lover, partner...
"Fishing lights... Jiang Yuhuo..." she murmured her name between her lips.
All the deficiencies in his life were filled at this moment.
Deeply moved and affectionate.
Long ago, Jiang Yuhuo saw the sea once.
When she escaped from the palace in Zhaoming City on a white crane, the crane flew to the wrong place and took her to Pinghai County. She landed on the edge of a cliff, and the endless roar of the world lulled her to sleep until she saw the vast expanse of water at dawn and realized that it was the sound of the waves.
The waves crashed against the shore, endlessly.
The tide surged in, layer upon layer, crashing against the shore. Amidst this endless lapping, a hidden undercurrent rose from the heart of the sea, slowly climbing and piling up…
The waves were surging, almost scattering the people on the shore.
Jiang Yuhuo had initially thought this sea would be gentle and tranquil, but she was wrong. Everything was merely lying in wait. When the time was ripe, this sea revealed its primal and predatory side to her.
Faced with such fierce winds and waves, Jiang Yuhuo felt as insignificant as a pebble, swept away and washed back, swallowed and polished time and time again, and drenched by the seawater time and time again... until finally tears flowed.
The ocean releases all its power onto a single pebble.
The undercurrents piled up, forming a high wall that continued to grow...
Suddenly, I felt a pang of sadness.
Jiang Yuhuo felt as if she were being taken to another world, a strange place she had never been before...
She tried to grab onto something, but all around her was endless water; her struggles were futile.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here..."
The waves subsided for a moment, and a sound pierced through the sea from a distant place; her hand was grasped.
I felt a little relieved.
But danger always strikes when you think you're safe, and it's when you're least prepared that the attack is most deadly. She was caught completely off guard when the tsunami swept in. She was actually a very good swimmer and had a strong will, but even so, she was caught off guard and knocked down by the raging tide.
There was a long period of blankness in my life.
All emotions were taken away; I didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, I just felt lost and helpless.
When the emotions returned, it was an overwhelming sadness. After the tide receded, it felt as if all the sorrow of the past years had reverberated at the same time, leaving me overwhelmed with grief.
In this inappropriate situation, I feel like bursting into tears.
Jiang Yuhu gritted her teeth, trying to hold back her tears, and gasped for breath.
An arm pulled her into a embrace. "If you want to cry, just cry. Don't hold it in." He kissed her damp hair and stroked her back with his palm.
"No one will hear you if you cry in the sea."
