Mu Youran looked up at Wen E in surprise: "How old are you exactly?"
Upon hearing this, Wen'e's face turned a little embarrassed. He had just been showing off his tail, but he had forgotten that it could directly reveal his age...
With a forced smile and a shameless grin, he said, "That's not the point."
"Besides, don't you think I'm not good-looking?"
Although, according to their merfolk, a hundred years old is only a short time since he came of age, he knows that to the beastmen on land, he can be considered an old man.
Therefore, since You Ran never asked his age, he didn't say either.
Unexpectedly, the clues were just revealed.
Mu Youran pinched his cheek, which was full of collagen and very firm, as he leaned close to her.
He himself would believe that he was seventeen or eighteen, but judging from what Wen'er just said, he is definitely older than that!
"You look great, but I'd like to know how old you are!"
Wen'e was a little conflicted. He knew that the orcs on land would care, but he really hoped that You Ran could like him wholeheartedly.
Moreover, You Ran also said that she would love him forever!
He believes this!
I took a deep breath, composed myself, and met her gaze: "I am 103 years old."
"What?"
Mu Youran stared in shock, her eyes wide open. She had never asked her partner their age.
In her eyes, they were all very young, not only young but also handsome, and she never imagined they would be so old.
Wen'e was surprised by her strong reaction and felt hurt. He was very angry.
"You said you would love me forever, so what, now that you know I'm getting old, you're starting to dislike me?"
"No, no!"
Mu Youran quickly explained, feeling a pang of guilt as she looked at his unhappy expression.
It's a little upsetting that such a handsome male was angered by her.
"I'm just a little surprised. I probably won't even live to be a hundred."
"So, even if I die in a few decades, will you still be the same as you are now?"
When Wen'e turned around and suddenly heard these words, his heart, which had just been angry, felt as if it had been gripped tightly, causing him a suffocating pain.
He suddenly turned around and tightly covered her mouth to stop her from talking nonsense: "Pah, pah, pah!"
"I don't want you to die!"
I want to grow old with you!
You Ran thought about these things too, but that's just how it is.
She didn't transmigrate into a soul; she transmigrated into the body of a beast.
Based on her physical structure, she could only live to be a hundred years old at most, which would be considered a long life.
However, Wen'e is already a hundred years old, yet he still looks so young, which makes her a little scared.
I'm afraid that when I get old, he'll still look like this, and I'll definitely be ugly then.
She removed his hand from her mouth, her brows furrowing slightly involuntarily.
"So, how long is the lifespan of your merfolk?"
Wen'e thought for a while before finally speaking: "Three hundred."
Mu Youran chuckled self-deprecatingly. It turned out that he wasn't just young-looking; he was genuinely young for his age among the merfolk.
She was just an ordinary person who could only live for a few decades, yet she had a partner who could live for hundreds of years. She didn't know whether to be sad or happy.
"Does that mean we can't grow old together?"
This issue immediately created a tense atmosphere between the two of them.
Neither of them had ever thought about this question; they both lived in the moment, enjoying each day as it came.
Mu Youran forced a smile, then bent down and splashed some water on his face.
"Hey, what are you thinking? I'm so stupid. Who knows what the future holds? As long as we're happy now, that's all that matters."
"But you're not allowed to think I'm ugly when the time comes!"
Wen'e had never thought about that question, because in his heart, he had already decided that Mu Youran was the female.
She is my life partner; without her, life would be meaningless.
So whether he grows old or not, he doesn't care.
However, judging from the expression on You Ran's face when she said those words, he knew that You Ran wanted to grow old with him.
However, such a small request would be extremely simple for other orcs, but he knew that it was impossible for the two of them.
All he could do was make her happy and joyful every day.
Seeing her force a smile, Wen'e felt as if his heart was about to suffocate.
He longed to grow old with You Ran and walk together to the end of their lives.
He gently cupped her head in his left hand, closed his beautiful black eyes slightly, and lowered his head to place a kiss on her lips.
The warm touch spread throughout his body, and he reluctantly let go.
Even if you become a white-haired, stooped old woman, you will still be the most beautiful in my eyes.
Unlike her forced smile just now, You Ran's smile now comes from the bottom of her heart.
She felt so lucky to have come to this strange place and to have so many orcs who loved her.
The seawater reached her waist. She stood on tiptoe, hooked her arms around Wen E's long neck, and kissed him forcefully.
"Then you mustn't forget me in the future!"
Their foreheads touched gently. Wen E's red, moist lips curved slightly upward, his affectionate gaze fixed on her slightly frightened eyes.
"Unless you give birth to a litter of merfolk just like you."
The two of them then fell heavily into the water, and Wen'e's beautiful fish tail gently pulled her up and swam to a deeper place.
