Chapter 12 Reproduction: Can I kiss you again?
Sang Li looked at Amber.
Although he was unwilling to admit that the mermaid in front of him was the one who killed the passing ships, he was now a member of BEAM and had to give it his all for the sake of his social security and housing fund.
Even when the captain isn't there.
So, the question was asked: "So, why kill so many people?"
Amber remained calm and asked in return, "Shouldn't he have been killed?"
It sounds completely uneventful.
"That……"
Before Sang Li could finish speaking, Amber, who had been lying in the water, suddenly pushed herself up with her hands on the edge of the seashell, leaned down, and approached her face.
The movements were as fluid as waves, like the instinct of some marine creature hunting its prey; suddenly, their faces were very close.
She could see the water droplets on his face and his glowing skin.
Sang Li looked up, while Amber looked down.
Her silver-white hair fell down her neck and onto her chest.
"You..." she began, as if to say something.
"Don't worry, Ali, don't worry about those people hurting you. I won't let you feel suffocated again."
Sang Li was completely baffled.
What?
People on the blood ship?
Or is it Lu Jin?
Why do mermaids have such a jumpy mind?
As soon as He finished speaking, He bent down and his icy breath immediately swept over us.
Its silver tail fin swayed slightly, stirring up shimmering waves of water.
Sang Li's pupils contracted in fright, and she reflexively raised her hand to cover her mouth!
Amber's actions did not stop. His cool fingers gently covered the back of Sang Li's hand, and he readily placed a kiss on it.
The touch is like a drop of seawater gliding across the skin.
Then, His fingers gently pulled at her hand covering her lips, trying to pull it away.
Sang Li suddenly shrank back.
Do you want to take advantage of yourself again?
They've sacrificed too much for their work!
She glared at him fiercely and asked sharply, "What are you doing?"
Wasn't yesterday's kiss enough?
Want to kiss again today?
They have to kiss the moment they meet?
She'd never heard of any abnormal beings having this attribute.
While mermaids are said to be promiscuous, this seems a bit excessive. After all, they've only just learned each other's names. And last night's artificial respiration doesn't count.
Amber's gaze slid from her lips to her ankles, her eyes seeming to ask, "Why not?"
Before Sang Li could speak again, Amber put on an innocent expression, her brows furrowed slightly, and her silver eyes filled with doubt: "Ali, I'm courting."
"..."
These words were like a firecracker exploding in Sang Li's head, leaving her completely blank.
She immediately turned her head away, avoiding this arrogant remark.
What are you asking for?
Seeking a mate!
Weren't we talking about the Blood Ship?
Why can't you stop talking about animal reproduction in just three sentences?
Yes, reproduction!
She inexplicably remembered asking Lu Jin if there was any reproductive isolation between humans and aberrant beings. Lu Jin hadn't answered her. But given her barely passing high school biology, if they were both aberrant beings, there shouldn't be any reproductive isolation…
Wouldn't that be terrible!
The file states that it attracts anomalous entities, but it doesn't say it will attract so many... Peach Blossoms?
at this time.
"Beep beep".
A sound came from the miniature earphone.
Lu Jin's voice came through: "Sang Li, it's me. If you can hear me, move your eyes to the side."
Sang Li did not move.
Lu Jin: "Sang Li?"
Eight hundred nautical miles away, Lu Jin sat on a rescue ship.
Zhou Fangyang had just located her position; it would take about 8 to 10 hours to reach her destination. Heaven knows how the Moonlight Sirens managed to take her to such a far place.
All night long, Lu Jin was extremely busy, dealing with the surge of anomalies in detail and even handling two suddenly appearing A+ level anomalies.
The moment he connected with Sang Li, he finally breathed a sigh of relief after a sleepless night.
Tang Lan looked at the captain, whose eyes were bloodshot, and exchanged a glance with Yu Qi.
Without receiving a reply from Sang Li, Lu Jin dared not make any rash moves.
Is Sang Li deaf?
It can be seen that her pupil and iris analyzer is on, which proves that her vital signs are stable and she is relatively safe.
Where is that damn fish?
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came from the speaker.
“Ali”.
"Why won't you let me kiss you?"
"It will be very comfortable."
Lu Jin: !
Tang Lan was greatly surprised.
Zhou Fangyang had never seen Yu Qi's expression become so out of control in his life.
They had all read Sang Li's file. 071 had a fatal attraction to anomalous beings, but that didn't mean they could attract anomalous beings to mate with them.
Ah, the captain looks like he's about to explode.
Tang Lan silently took a step back.
Lu Jin's lips moved, his voice low and suppressed, yet revealing obvious anger: "Sang Li."
There was no response.
His Adam's apple bobbed, his breathing became heavy, and his voice sounded like it was being crushed by sand: "Can you hear me? If you can, just hum."
After a brief silence, a soft "hmm" came from the communication device.
Lu Jin's pupils contracted, as if he had finally grasped at a lifeline.
But the next second, when he heard that light, unfamiliar male voice again, his clenched left fist made a cracking sound from his knuckles.
"Did you agree?" Amber assumed that the "yes" meant agreement.
Sang Li blushed and said, "No."
Amber's tone was so frank that it didn't sound like she was joking: "I like you very much, we can have a child."
Lu Jin's face instantly turned terrifyingly gloomy.
Tang Lan immediately sensed something was wrong; the boss was about to kill someone.
Sang Li slowly turned her head, slightly turned her body, and quietly activated the pupil-iris transmission system.
In a moment, a clear image was projected onto the ship's large screen.
A silver figure leaned lazily against the seashell, its slender fingers casually playing with a string of lustrous pearls. Its eyelashes were lowered, its silver hair fell beside its face, and its tail fin swayed slightly.
Tang Lan's lips twitched slightly, and she whispered a reminder: "Captain... calm down, at least Sang Li is safe for now."
Lu Jin gritted his teeth: "You think it's safe to say things like that when that fish is already courting?"
Tang Lan shut up.
Lu Jin took a deep breath and restrained himself: "Sang Li, wait, I'm coming to save you right away."
Eight hundred nautical miles away.
Upon hearing Lu Jin's voice, Sang Li pursed her lips.
Amber noticed Sang Li's resistance, the silver light in her eyes dimmed slightly, she lowered her eyelashes, and her fingertips fiddled with the pearl necklace on Sang Li's chest.
Sang Li stiffened for a moment, but did not flinch, letting his pale fingertips trace the lines on her chest.
The mermaid seemed somewhat dejected, realizing the little pearl before him didn't seem interested in breeding. Logically, he was the king of this sea, and no creature had ever refused him, yet he himself hadn't been moved. He thought he had been patient enough, even considerate enough, willing to adorn her with pearls, soothe her with the softest sand, and nourish her with the most abundant food in the sea.
But the little pearl in front of me didn't seem interested in any of that.
"Why?" Amber couldn't help but ask, her voice lower than usual.
Sang Li pursed her lips: "How long have we known each other?"
“A long time,” Amber said.
Sang Li couldn't maintain her composure any longer. Animals reproduce by sleeping together if they find each other attractive, but she wasn't an animal: "Seven or eight hours, and I was dizzy for ninety percent of that time? And then you want to marry me and have children... Oh no, we're not even married yet, you haven't even treated me to a meal. Isn't this just freeloading? You're no different from trafficking women and children!"
Amber didn't react when he said the first part.
When the word "human trafficking" was finally uttered, Amber's pupils trembled slightly.
Sang Li said, “I’m still young and don’t want to have children. Besides, you haven’t respected me enough. To put it another way, a fish… you’re asking me to give birth to a fish by myself… Do you know what it takes to give birth? Do you know my body will deform and crack? And how do fish give birth? You’re a mammal, fish are supposed to be oviparous animals.”
Amber was stunned, and after a moment of hesitation, said, "It's a mammal."
Sang Li: ?
Do you know anything else about mammals?
Such advanced human vocabulary?
How come you have such a rich vocabulary?
Amber said earnestly, "I don't have a baby bag, but I can take care of the child."
Sang Li almost choked on her own saliva.
Who said they were going to have a baby?
Aren't you thinking a bit too far ahead?
Are all animals this straightforward?
Yes, that's true.
They don't seem to fall in love.
Powerful, wild, naive, and innocent—these are four conflicting yet not conflicting words.
"Why?" Amber gently swayed her tail fin, splashing up a tiny ring of water. "Don't you like me?"
Sang Li looked at his fingers; they were strong and powerful. If he refused, he wouldn't slap himself, would he?
“…It’s alright.” Sang Li suddenly felt that the word “alright” was used very cleverly.
Amber leaned closer. "Since we can't reproduce, can I have another kiss?"
"no."
"All right."
Sang Li knew that Lu Jin was listening and watching, so she couldn't very well say "okay".
Amber is incredibly ruthless when it comes to killing, but in other matters she seems like a child.
Having contacted the organization, the task still needed to be completed.
Since I can't catch Amber myself, I should at least help everyone enrich their files.
For example, the names "Moonlight Siren" and "Ocean Avenger" are not good; they should be called "Breeding Brain Mammal".
She reached out her hand, her voice softening slightly: "Let me see you."
Amber's body went limp, and she leaned against the seashell: "How do you want to see it?"
Sang Li raised her finger and gently touched His cheek.
Perhaps due to its long immersion in seawater, it was cool and smooth, but upon closer inspection, it wasn't too different from a human's. She traced its contours, her fingers sliding over its brow bone, bridge of its nose, and finally stopping at its chin.
Amber stood there obediently, motionless, as if she didn't care at all about being manipulated.
He even lowered his head slightly so she could see him more clearly.
Sang Li's gaze swept over His features inch by inch.
Amber parted her lips slightly, revealing her somewhat sharp teeth.
It's not as sharp and terrifying as the file describes; it's just a tiger's tooth.
Amber noticed her pause and asked, "Don't you like it?"
"It's quite sharp."
“It’s for hunting,” Amber said calmly, as if explaining a perfectly natural fact, “but it won’t be used on you.”
At this moment, through the iris analyzer in Sang Li's pupils, all the data is being transmitted to Zhou Fangyang at an astonishing speed.
"All biological data have been received and are being analyzed," Zhou Fangyang's voice came through the earpiece.
Sang Li did not respond, but simply pressed his fingertips lightly against His jawline, then raised his other hand and gently brushed aside His hair.
Amber asked, "Do you like it?"
Sang Li felt like crying; was her need for a mate really that strong?
After Zhou Fangyang announced the data processing was complete via the miniature earpiece, Sang Li withdrew her hand.
"Show me around, where am I?"
Although I've never been a secret agent, I've at least seen movies.
Knowing their location would facilitate their rescue operation.
Amber seemed to have been waiting for this question: "Ali, you can't swim, can you? Do you want me to carry you?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Jin on the other end of the earphone nearly crushed the cup in his hand, staring intently at the image on the screen.
Tang Lan dared not speak; her boss was practically bursting with impotent rage and ready to pound the wall.
Although Sang Li felt that she was being a bit far-fetched, Amber's appearance really didn't seem like that of an ordinary mermaid. Shouldn't he be some kind of mermaid prince?
That's how it's written in novels.
She asked, "Aren't there any shrimp soldiers or crab generals who can carry me there?"
Amber put on an innocent expression: "No. It's most convenient for me to hold you."
"..."
Ah, how cunning.
She muttered to herself, "I'll have to pay more."
Amber blinked in confusion: "What?"
"fine."
Lu Jin, on the other end of the earphone, heard it all clearly.
He instantly understood what Sang Li meant by "add more money".
Are you still thinking about project bonuses at a time like this?
Tang Lan observed the captain's expression from the side and whispered to Yu Qi, "Do you think the captain's face will turn bright red?"
Yu Qi was silent for two seconds, then replied softly, "It has already started."
Sang Li was completely unaware of the commotion happening on the other end of the earpiece, her attention returning to what was in front of her.
She waved her hand: "Never mind, I can swim by myself."
“No.” Amber shook her head. “It’s not safe for you in the sea. Only I can protect you.”
She opened her arms: "Okay."
Actually, Amber's muscles are quite good-looking, much better than those semi-nude bloggers I follow. They have a game-model feel to them, very unrealistic.
With a flick of its tail fin, the water instantly lifted Sang Li, and its hand firmly supported her waist.
Amber held her as they slowly sank into the water.
The cold water slid across her skin like ribbons.
Sang Li quietly observed Amber's face, his near-perfect features so close to hers.
To prevent herself from falling, she wrapped her arms around Anbo's neck.
Raise your arm and place it against His pectoral muscles.
Ah, the pectoral muscles are soft.
Sang Li licked the corner of her mouth.
Lu Jin's voice came through: "Sang Li, you're working."
"..."
We've been discovered.
