Si Jin moved her arms, trying to resist, but soon her lips were sealed shut again.
A single kiss was enough to make him lose his senses and almost suffocate; its power was so great that he didn't even have time to gather his divine power.
During the brief respite, Lin Yuan lowered his hands and lifted him up in a hug.
Before his mind could process it, the mermaid's clear and seductive voice rang in his ears again: "Baby, it's time to keep your promise."
… …
The long-awaited promise was kept until the early hours of the morning.
As Lin Yuan left, Xiao Yao cautiously crawled out of her sea of consciousness and decisively activated her pain shield.
However, the adult's brow remained furrowed, and he slept soundly.
After finally parting their lips, what escaped their mouths were still incoherent words: "No...you go out..."
The tiger's tail flared slightly in fright, and it raised a paw to its forehead—
It seems that the pain shield has failed again.
It's all because it's not good enough yet, but it will keep trying!
Just as I was clenching my paws and making a vow, I noticed that the door outside moved again. I quickly turned around and retreated back into my sea of consciousness. The next second, I saw the mermaid carrying a thermal lunchbox, leaning against her fish tail, swimming in.
He carefully placed the lunchbox on the bedside table before bending down and forcefully pulling out a bullet that was deeply embedded in the tail.
Blood was oozing out; a piece of scale had been scraped off. It must have hurt a lot.
He merely frowned, then crushed the bullet into pieces and threw it into the trash can.
She went to the bathroom to wash off the blood before slowly returning to the bedside and kissing the sleeping person awake.
The tone remains clear and mellow, possessing a natural, soul-purifying quality reminiscent of the ocean, making one want to listen to it a little longer.
"Honey, time to get up and eat."
Si Jin's consciousness improved slightly, and the moment she opened her eyes, a tear silently slid down her cheek.
His throat was almost dry: "I..."
Just as he was about to speak, his thin lips were pressed down by the mermaid's slender fingers.
Lin Yuan said, "Drinking some porridge will help soothe your throat. I added a little pearl powder to it, which can help moisturize your throat."
pearl?
Mermaid tears?
It even has a throat-soothing effect.
No wonder Ying Chengliang and his gang of lunatics were hunting manta rays with such fervor; they really are... a treasure from head to toe.
After a moment of reaction, Si Jin's sluggish mind finally returned to normal, and she asked, "You're the one who's being mean, so why are you dropping pearls?"
"That's because you're more..." Lin Yuan smiled, then whispered the last word into Si Jin's ear.
A beautiful, seductive voice uttered that word with an ambiguous yet wicked tone.
Before long, the deity's ears, which never blushed, turned red. Si Jing was speechless for a moment, and her expression became unnatural.
Just as I was wondering how to respond, I saw a splash of vibrant red on the mermaid's waist-length white hair.
Despite the pain, he quickly reached out and brushed aside Lin Yuan's hair, revealing a wound hidden beneath it.
The thin fin looked as if it had been pierced by a bullet, leaving a small, broken hole from which blood was still seeping out, clearly indicating a recent injury.
As if something embarrassing had been discovered, Lin Yuan hurriedly reached out and covered his wound with his hair again.
Just as she was about to say "It's nothing," Si Jin asked, "You went out? Where did the food come from?"
The mermaid, as if being reprimanded, obediently lowered her eyes and told the truth: "Outside."
"What are you doing out there? Don't you know..."
"I know, but I wanted to get you something to eat." Lin Yuan held the soup spoon in his hand, clearly nervous, but still spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Where I came from, cherishing loved ones is a belief more important than life itself."
