Chapter 242 Lizard 12
If one only looked at Min Xi's face, it wouldn't differ greatly from a human's. The delicate scales covering the surface required careful observation to reveal. His face had a somewhat ferocious look, a result of the uniquely oppressive nature emanating from his innate nature.
His eyes narrowed into vertical pupils, their emerald pupils emitting a faint, dark glow in the dim cavern. His palms gripped her waist with a firm grip. Yu Mo frowned, and the two hands around her waist slowly loosened, but he still used his arms as a cage to confine her in the cramped corner.
"Don't..." Min Xi's eyes opened wide. Yu Mo seemed to see tears accumulating in his eye sockets. He completely forgot his identity. Even when he was with Yu Mo in the past, he tried his best to control himself from showing any beastly behavior. At this moment, he relied entirely on instinct. The tongue that had licked her stretched out, extending to a length that was impossible for a human to reach, and licked away the tears from his eye sockets at a rapid speed.
Then those eyes became clear and bright, clearly showing her the sorrow and pleading hidden in them.
"Don't leave..." Min Xi's tears flowed again. He let his body press against her, buried in Yu Mo's arms, his scaly face gently rubbing against her, and continued to make gurgling sounds. Yu Mo guessed that this was his way of begging her not to leave.
Min Xi is very smart. He has human-like facial features and a strong body. He is very suitable for living in the jungle. He is the king of the jungle. But these advantages are not enough to make Yu Mo stay, even though she was slightly moved by Min Xi's pleading.
She had to leave this place eventually. She couldn't stay on the deserted island. Her home was Qingcheng, a city Min Xi couldn't adapt to. She remembered having a brief crush on a boy in high school, but when he expressed his affection for her, she suddenly sobered up. The joy of her secret crush coming true couldn't make up for the time she'd lost studying. She wouldn't allow even the slightest obstacle to her goal.
So she cut off contact with the boy without hesitation.
Yu Mo looked at Min Xi. He was buried in her arms, gurgling, his voice trembling a little, as if he was aggrieved. She reached out and touched his shoulder. The scales there had been torn off by his fellow tribesmen. Although the flesh had grown back, the scales had not yet completely covered the wound.
Min Xi trembled all over at her touch, and his purring became high-pitched and joyful. He suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Yu Mo, thinking that she had changed her mind and didn't want to leave again. He searched his mind and stopped himself from saying, "Don't leave. I like Yu Mo..."
The new tail swayed around her in a flattering manner, and the tip of the tail wrapped around her ankle. The tail without scales felt soft and smooth to the touch.
"The lizardman I met that day must be one of your kind. At first, I thought you were the only one of your species, after all, I'd never seen anything like you. Since you have your own kind, there must be females who are more suitable for you than me."
Yu Mo said, "I have a home, and I want to go back to my home instead of staying in a strange place. We are not suitable. I am very fragile, without the protection of scales, I can't protect myself when I encounter danger, let alone help you when danger comes. You'd better face the situation and leave me, there will be more suitable females!"
Min Xi looked at her intently.
Although he didn't quite understand what was being said, and some of the words were unclear to him, he knew the little female was determined to leave him. Why? Was he not doing well enough? Was he not strong enough? Or did she dislike his appearance?
Min Xi turned around and grabbed the dangling tail, opened his mouth and bit it, blood spurted out instantly. Yu Mo screamed in fear!
"Shut up! Min Xi, shut up!" Yu Mo was so anxious that she tried to pry his mouth open.
His teeth were very sharp, and Yu Mo's fingertips were pierced and bleeding. Min Xi really opened his mouth, held her fingers and began to lick them, whimpering. Yu Mo guessed that he was condemning her behavior, but his behavior was the most condemnable!
The bitten tail drooped on the ground, its tender pink surface cracked and bleeding, but even lying on the ground it still shook instinctively.
Yu Mo thought angrily: Maybe Min Xi understood what she meant, but he attributed her rejection to the difference in their appearances. The most fundamental difference between them was the tail on his back, just like when he first appeared in front of her. He thought that if he cut off his tail, he would be the same as her, and she would accept him and like him...
Finally, Min Xi carried her to the hot spring where they had come from. Yu Mo was soaking in the hot spring, and Min Xi sat beside her, holding her tail and licking the wound, staring at her without blinking, as if she would disappear if he even looked away.
After Yu Mo left the hot spring, Min Xi quickly stepped forward, wrapped her in clothes, and ran back to the cave, blocking it with rocks. Even at night, Yu Mo had no freedom to sleep, as Min Xi's arms and tail firmly held her in his arms.
In the middle of the night, Yu Mo was woken up by Min Xi.
At that moment, all was silent, save for the rustling of the trees in the wind, and the distant, crisp sound of rushing water. The night was dark, and the moonlight enveloped the forest like a soft veil of light. Yu Mo's ears rang with a soft, popping sound, like the bubbling of fish, punctuated by the occasional, slightly eerie chirping of birds.
She opened her eyes and saw Min Xi half-kneeling at her feet, his green eyes sparkling, and a continuous gurgling sound in his throat that sounded like doubt. The sound this time seemed clearer than before, mixed with the strange sound that she vaguely heard.
He seemed confused, yet excited.
Min Xi grinned and looked at Yu Mo. Seeing that she woke up, he made a quick gurgling sound in his throat, and then called her name in words that Yu Mo could understand.
He pressed forward and kissed her lips. Yu Mo had long been accustomed to his intimacy. She had tried to resist and refuse, but Min Xi was very clingy. If she refused to let him kiss her mouth, he would lick other places. Cheeks, ears, or even fingers... When she refused to kiss her fingers again, he would kiss her lips instead. Sometimes she felt that Min Xi was like an annoying mosquito, buzzing in her ears and could not be driven away!
Yu Mo closed her eyes and slept. She wasn't disappointed that she couldn't leave during the day, but she felt a little melancholy, not knowing when she could finally leave this place...
When she was in a trance, she seemed to hear the sound of tearing cloth in her ears. She opened her eyes suddenly. Min Xi was lying on the bed and sniffing, while gurgling in a slightly excited voice. This was a reaction he had never shown before. Yu Mo realized that something was wrong. She reached out to cover her vital parts and turned over.
Then he warned him in a stern voice: "Go to sleep and don't move!"
Of course, Min Xi didn't listen to her. His tail swept back and forth on her back, making her feel itchy. Yu Mo turned over again and pressed his tail heavily under her body! Min Xi cooed and pulled out his tail. A smile filled his eyes, but Yu Mo couldn't see it.
He was completely awake, and his tail began to sweep towards her ankles without giving up. He knelt beside her again and sniffed to make sure he was not mistaken. The excited sound in his throat became louder and louder! But his movements were very slow. He first licked the part that had been injured by Yu Mo as usual.
This kind of behavior happened frequently. He treated Yu Mo as a fragile cub and combed her hair and cleaned her skin from time to time. He started to face Yu Mo and put the tools he had used to clean her body to her mouth. Yu Mo closed her mouth tightly, and her lips became sticky and wet as if they were coated with oily lipstick.
Then, her body, which had just been cleaned in the hot spring, became sticky again. Min Xi didn't know what was going on, but the saliva in her mouth became more abundant. If he were human, Yu Mo would have a legitimate reason to scold him and call him disgusting, but he was not human. This behavior was very normal and legitimate among animals, so she lost her legitimate reason to call him disgusting.
But she still said: "I want to sleep! Min Xi, shut up!"
Min Xi still didn't listen to her. He was too excited. He knelt on the stone again and sniffed. Yu Mo blocked his way with her hands. Then she felt a strange sensation coming from her body. She seemed to taste Min Xi's saliva on his lips. She frowned, feeling that this saliva was different from before.
It felt like ants were gnawing at her spinal cord. It didn't hurt, but it was tingling and itchy. Min Xi's nails were sharp, capable of tearing through even animal fur, let alone fragile fabric. "Tear—" Yu Mo admired herself for still being able to think rationally at such a time. She suddenly understood the reason for Min Xi's abnormality. It seemed to be her ovulation period.
Min Xi's eyes were bright. He looked at her, kissed her lips gently, and then called her name: "Yu Mo." His tail was swinging behind him. Even though Yu Mo's vision was blocked, she could still feel the arc of the tail swinging happily.
She suddenly felt like giving up. She thought it was because of Min Xi's saliva. She didn't know if the saliva he secreted at this time contained hormones that could excite her, but she did feel something was wrong.
She didn't dislike Min Xi; she objected to his identity. However, in the cave, perhaps because it was nighttime, it was just the two of them. Who could know what they were doing? Thinking this way, Yu Mo couldn't stand the burning sensation in her body. The flame seemed to be burning in her heart, scorching it to a small corner.
The flames crackled in her ears, and she muffled a hum. Min Xi's movements were slow. He stared at her intently, as if she would disappear if he didn't pay attention. Then he leaned down and kissed her cheek, making a soothing sound again.
The last line of defense in Yu Mo's mind suddenly broke - there was nothing to worry about, because it had already happened.
She didn't want to make things difficult for herself. The process was very difficult. What made her happy was that although Min Xi was a beast, his behavior was not rude. Her hand touched his back. Those rough scales would open slightly when he was excited. Min Xi's lingering voice rang in her ears. He was calling her name: "Yu Mo, Yu Mo, Yu Mo..."
The tone of his voice when he called her name was clear and full of love. Every time he called her name, Yu Mo always felt a sense of being addicted. At this moment, she was indeed a little addicted.
She no longer thought about the difficulties she had encountered since the shipwreck, nor about the pain of not being able to return to Qingcheng, nor even about tomorrow. She suddenly looked at Min Xi with some melancholy, and could not help but say, "If only you were a human!"
Then she wouldn't have to worry so much.
Min Xi's response was an increasingly gentle gurgling sound.
