The Siren didn't know how long he had been wandering in the sea. It seemed that he had never seen other mermaids since he crawled out of the mermaid egg.
Mermaids are different from other races. On the Orc Continent, mermaids are a more evolved race. Every newborn mermaid inherits the memory and experience of their ancestors, so they rarely need to learn. Naturally, they do not need to grow up under the protection of their fathers like other orcs.
The power structure within the sea tribes is clear. While the shark orcs and whale orcs each dominate their own waters, the inherent power within them naturally subordinates them to the mermaids. Mermen possess sharp claws, powerful tails, and alluring voices, all of which allow them to easily dominate the oceans. The sirens are undoubtedly the most powerful of this powerful tribe.
In the inherited memory, Siren is not just his own name, but more like a nickname for a group. Every few generations, a black mermaid will be born that is incompatible with other mermaids. Their names are all called Siren, and they are natural predators and leaders.
Siren had no interest in leading a group, or rather, he had never found anything to which he was interested. His life consisted of nothing more than a repetitive, mechanical routine. His only secret hope came from a vague legend: a mermaid only had one mate in her lifetime, each chosen by a beast god. Male mermen would be guided by the beast god to their bride.
The Sirens have a complicated attitude towards this legend. Mermen were once considered pagans and not the people of the beast god because both males and females had the same fish tails and ear fins.
For the Siren, he does not need the protection of the Beast God, and he also holds a nonchalant attitude towards the sense of identity and belonging like other orcs. Only in terms of a partner does the Siren really desire that the high god can guide him to his bride.
From the morning of that day, Siren felt an unignorable palpitation. He even felt annoyed when other creatures in the sea swam past him. So he simply swam out of the sea and went upstream along a river connected to the sea.
The fierce impact of the water on him could not calm the restlessness deep in his heart. There was always a voice in his heart urging him to swim forward. Siren swam forward until the river narrowed and became a narrow and deep stream.
On a huge rock beside the stream, Siren saw something shining in the sun. The closer she swam, the faster her heart beat, until finally Siren could see clearly that there was a young man dressed in snow-white lying on the rock, with several pieces of shiny minerals on his chest.
For the first time, the Siren was grateful for the existence of the Beast God and was willing to offer Him the freshest and best sacrifices on New Year's Eve.
"This is my bride!" The Siren rushed out of the water and hugged the boy in her arms. As for those shining minerals, they lost their color and became dim around the boy. Only the boy was left in the world.
…
"Really give me salt...?" Xu Nuo blinked and chose to ignore the last sentence.
"Here, I'll give you all the gems and ivory!" The man with the charming face did not seem to be pretending, and his expression was solemn as if he was proposing.
Anyone would be defeated by his gaze. Xu Nuo coughed uncomfortably and struggled in his arms, but he was too strong and held him tightly.
"Let me go first," Xu Nuo looked up at him. Siren still had that unmoved expression on her face, and the hand that was holding Xu Nuo's waist did not loosen its strength at all.
"I can't breathe in water, so I can't swim with you. I have to walk on land to the beach."
The Siren relaxed a little. Xu Nuo finally understood that this fish was selectively deaf, pretending not to understand what it didn't want to hear.
"You can breathe water," the man said. Xu Nuo was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to refute, the man suddenly came up and sealed his lips.
The Siren had the unique scent of the sea, deep and vast, with a hint of salty sea breeze. The two exchanged breaths, and Xu Nuo felt as if he was in the waves in a trance, forced to open the city gates and accept plunder.
A medium-sized bead passed through the Siren's mouth. Xu Nuo came back to his senses and instinctively pushed the bead outwards a little with the tip of his tongue. This small action seemed to annoy the Siren. The mermaid, who had been considered gentle just now, no longer suppressed her strength and indulged in the sweetness of the person in her arms. Xu Nuo swallowed the bead at some point.
Strangely enough, a bead of this size would easily cause choking, but the bead seemed to have life and slid down his throat easily.
Siren let go of Xu Nuo, but her hands still held the boy tightly in her arms, and she kissed the boy's neck as if she was still not satisfied.
"Enough... stop kissing me," Xu Nuo protested with difficulty, and the mermaid reluctantly let him go.
"Ding! Heart rate 70!"
"Nono, wow, the male protagonist's favorability towards you is alarmingly high from the beginning!" 666 sighed, but unfortunately Xu Nuo didn't have time to pay attention to it.
"What did you just give me to eat?"
Siren answered quickly this time, "My mermaid pearl."
Xu Nuo was speechless this time, and it took him a long time to find his voice. "Is it... is it the mermaid pearl I was thinking of?"
The boy's round eyes were wide open, and his lips, which were swollen from the kiss, were even more tempting. Siren hummed briefly and began to kiss his neck like a dog licking a bone.
"Wait a minute, what will you do now that I have given you the mermaid pearl? How can I return it to you?" Xu Nuo pushed him away, looking anxious.
After hearing that the boy wanted to return the mermaid pearl to him, the air pressure around Siren suddenly dropped. "This is for you, so you can breathe underwater."
Xu Nuo miraculously understood what he meant. The Siren's mermaid pearl could probably help him breathe in the water.
"66, what effect does the shark pearl have on the sirens?"
666 replied perfunctorily, "It's no big deal. It's just like he shared his power in the ocean and his lifespan with you..."
"Isn't this a big deal?!"
Xu Nuo rubbed his forehead and said, "Siren, why did you give me the Mermaid Pearl?"
The mermaid who was kissing him straightened her expression and answered seriously, "Be my bride. You can breathe underwater."
Xu Nuo's face flushed, and she threw her arms around his neck in self-abandonment, resting her head on his shoulder and sighed.
"Let's go to the sea."
Siren's eyes lit up with excitement. She kissed his ear hard on the top of his head and dived into the water.
