Maggie had a bad feeling because Xiu was holding her very tightly and she couldn't break free. Her struggles only resulted in Xiu holding her even more firmly.
The mermaid, who is usually icy cold, had an unusually high body temperature today, and her skin felt warm against my skin.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Maggie asked cautiously.
Xiu's eyes and expression were not normal, as if he was about to go berserk at any moment. Maggie stopped struggling, afraid that she would do something to provoke Xiu, who had lost his mind.
When a predator sets its sights on you, it's best not to think about running away or struggling, as this will only intensify its hunting instincts.
There are two possibilities: Xiu's violent disorder has relapsed, or something in the Mermaid Kingdom has triggered him, whether it's poison or a curse.
Maggie brainstormed countless possibilities, but she overlooked one in particular.
Her idea wasn't wrong, but unfortunately, she was going in the wrong direction.
Xiu naturally didn't answer her question, but instead focused his gaze on Maggie's cherry-pink lips. In his remaining shred of reason, he vaguely remembered the sensation there.
Soft, warm, sweet, and enticing to go deeper.
Xiu's pale purple eyes were unsettlingly dark, exuding a dangerous aura. Maggie was anxious, but she really didn't have many options.
The weapons she can use are mostly lethal. Xiu is her teammate now, so she's not that cruel.
As for her own strength, it was really limited. Her body was the weakest type among mages, so it was basically impossible for her to break free on her own.
If Xiu can be awakened, that would be good; as for not being able to awaken him...
Then we'll have to resort to unconventional methods.
Fortunately, although Xiu was holding her, he had no desire to attack her; he was just staring at her with a somewhat frightening look.
"Hey, wake up!"
Maggie had no choice but to speak up again, trying to bring Xiu back to his senses.
Unfortunately, Xiu couldn't understand her words at all in this state; all he could see were her slightly parted pink lips, which were constantly seducing him.
Finally, Xiu responded in a low voice, his tone indescribably hoarse. If an experienced person were here, they would definitely be able to hear the eroticism in his voice, but unfortunately, Maggie was a single woman.
"Um."
Maggie breathed a sigh of relief when she got the answer, thinking that everything was finally alright. But she didn't expect Xiu's handsome face to suddenly loom large in front of her, and every detail on his face was taken in by Maggie's eyes.
Mermaids have such beautiful skin.
Maggie only had time for this one thought to flash through her mind before Xiu captured her lips.
When the cool lips touched her lips, Maggie's CPU went into overheating mode, and she momentarily forgot to move away.
Taking advantage of the moment when Xiu lost his mind, he kissed Maggie and immediately sucked on her warm tongue.
The sensitive, delicate tip of her tongue accidentally brushed against the sharp shark teeth, causing a series of shivers. For a moment, Maggie's legs went weak, and she almost knelt down, which allowed the perpetrator to take advantage of her vulnerability.
After Maggie gave up resisting, Xiu wrapped his long arm around her and pulled her into his embrace, deepening the kiss.
Once captured by mermaids, the small-sized humans have no chance of breaking free and can only let the mermaids become more and more outrageous.
Finally, just as Xiu tried to hug her tightly, the cool scales of the fish tail touched Maggie's skin, bringing her back to her senses.
"!!!!"
Maggie's eyes widened as she sensed something else unusual and difficult to talk about.
[Holy crap, I'm doomed, I'm doomed, I forgot this guy's breeding season is coming up!]
Maggie screamed in her head.
Xiu paused, his actions of kissing continuing, a faint glimmer of clarity flashing in his eyes.
As for Maggie, she had just experienced a mental breakdown. Once she regained consciousness, she immediately cast a spell without chanting, creating a 'water bomb' between the two of them.
Although they were underwater, the impact of the 'water bomb' was very strong. Xiu was stunned by the blast and finally let go of Maggie.
Seizing the opportunity, Maggie scrambled back several steps, ignoring the stinging pain her skin caused by the bursting water, and focused only on watching Xiu with wary eyes.
She didn't want that embarrassing scene to happen again.
The atmosphere was quiet and silent. Xiu's body was stiff, and he didn't move for a long time until Maggie moved to move further away, at which point he finally spoke.
"...I'm sorry about that."
He rubbed his head, turned his head to the side, and a look of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
Hearing Xiu's clear and logical words, Maggie finally relaxed. She had been terrified just now.
She had forgotten how Xiu spent his breeding season in the story, but there was a small note in the comic that Xiu was a mermaid who was very good at controlling his desires and was never controlled by the so-called breeding season.
This highlights Xiu Shimo's feelings, and his character's single-minded focus on his career.
Why did she have to fall for it this time of all!
Were all the comics just lies to her?!
Maggie said she was devastated.
She decided that she couldn't completely trust the content in comics anymore; after all, you really have to get to know the true nature of some people's personalities after spending time with them.
Suddenly, Maggie realized that she was a woman, and her environment was quite different from Xiu's in the comics, so she became a little uncertain again.
It could also be because the main cast is all male, leaving him little room to shine?
"You, if your breeding season is coming up, tell me earlier next time..."
Maggie's voice was weak and listless. She never expected to encounter such a terrible thing in such a dangerous situation.
"It won't happen again next time."
Xiu paused for a moment before speaking again.
In fact, his level of embarrassment and anger was even greater than Maggie's. He had never lost control during his breeding season, and he had been taking his potions on time recently, so it was impossible for it to be related to his rage disorder.
Moreover, he is not currently in his actual breeding season; there is still a long time to go. Even the slightest warning sign could cause him to lose his mind to this extent, something he never expected.
Perhaps because what had just happened was too embarrassing, neither the man nor the fish spoke for the rest of the time.
Both the human and the fish tacitly stopped looking at each other and instead looked straight ahead to avoid seeing each other in their field of vision.
Maggie even quietly moved a meter away from Xiu, no longer caring about sticking together to avoid danger, as Xiu himself was the biggest source of threat.
Xiu is in a similar state, but his thoughts are fundamentally different from Maggie's.
Maggie was still shaken, while he... was still feeling unsatisfied.
The unexpected kiss from just now kept lingering in his mind; the touch and everything else, even the girl's scent lingered around his nose.
It was cool and refreshing, like a slightly damp breeze after the rain, distant yet invigorating, not as sweet as lips, but still unforgettable.
