Status?
Why would a mermaid like him demand a title from me?
“Uh…” Shen Zhiyi said, “You are the Sea God who protects our Shen family. Isn’t that enough?”
A turbulent tide surged in Qingyuan's eyes.
His strikingly bright eyes and brows appeared even more profound due to his forced restraint.
His face was flushed, and his sweat-dampened silver hair clung to his forehead, revealing both a startling vulnerability and a fierce aggression.
He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "So, you would do these things to the gods?"
"That's... a great disrespect."
He deliberately released his oppressive aura.
Shen Zhiyi felt as if her mind had been swept by a raging wave; her face scrunched up, and she collapsed into his arms, exhausted.
"Then, what do you want to do..." she said weakly, her voice barely audible.
Qingyuan's burning gaze slowly swept across her face.
“You touched me, hugged me, kissed me, and took my luminous pearl and mermaid silk, so you have to take full responsibility and take me with you.”
He paused, then said in a hoarse voice, word by word, "I want to be your husband."
"One life, one lifetime, one couple."
"No one else but me." He added somberly, thinking of the faces of the men in Chunfeng Tower.
Husband?!
Shen Zhiyi was stunned.
She only wanted to collect the mermaid pearls, not a husband!
"What? Are you having trouble?" Qingyuan grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. "Don't you want me, or do you want someone else besides me?"
Every answer he thought of made him feel extremely angry and uncomfortable.
Jealousy, like a leech, gnawed at him bit by bit.
"Does...do we really have to have an answer?" Shen Zhiyi looked at the pearls scattered on the ground, feeling the pain of having gold and silver treasures right in front of her but being unable to reach them. She cried out with tears in her eyes.
Why can't we wait until she's picked up all the beads before considering this troublesome problem?
Qingyuan looked at her firmly and said, "Yes."
I absolutely need an answer.
"Give me an answer now."
He could no longer tolerate it.
He desperately wanted to kiss her.
Besides that, I wanted to do something even worse to her.
But without her promise, none of these were permitted.
He wanted her commitment.
Shen Zhiyi lowered her eyes and pondered.
Before taking over the family business, she made a promise to her clansmen that she would never marry for the sake of the Shen family business.
Even if they were to get married, they would choose the person who would be most helpful to the Shen family.
But now...
She wondered, what if it's just temporary?
If you marry him, you will have a legitimate reason to get close to him and extract his pearls.
She can also help him restore his demonic power.
Isn't this a win-win situation?
Besides, he'll have to go back to the deep sea sooner or later.
Once his demonic powers are restored and he is fully healed, she should have already amassed most of her wealth.
Then they can part ways amicably.
Thinking about it this way, it's brilliant!
"Okay." She looked up and replied, "I'll make you my husband."
"However, I'm busy with business right now and don't have time to hold a wedding ceremony. If you stay by my side, you'll probably just be occupying a nominal position."
There was no ceremony whatsoever.
Even so, are you still willing?
Overwhelmed with joy, Qingyuan lowered his head and kissed her lips.
"I am a demon, I don't care about these things."
Merfolk have their own rules for recognizing wives.
No worldly rules are needed. As long as she writes a spell on his scales with her blood when they first unite, she can be considered his only wife in this life.
He could no longer hold back, picked her up, and kissed her as he walked towards the bed.
“Um… my mermaid pearl…” Shen Zhiyi mumbled.
"Don't worry, it's all yours." Qingyuan grabbed her fingertips and placed them on his chest. "If Qingqing wants more, she should learn to please me."
He pressed her down onto the soft blanket and kissed her deeply.
The burning lips and tongue penetrated deeply and aggressively, with a tsunami-like force, instantly overwhelming all her senses and thoughts.
Before she completely succumbed, she softly murmured, "No, I can't use it to grind anymore..."
Qingyuan chuckled softly.
"good."

The night was quiet.
Only Shen Zhiyi's mournful cries echoed in the room.
"No...no more..." she kicked him, "Get out of here right now..."
They're not a good match at all!
Aren't merfolk fish?
Why is it so terrifying...?
Shen Zhiyi's tears were forced out, her whole body trembled and she was powerless, but she was on high alert, resisting his approach.
Qingyuan suffered even more than she did.
The spell on the scales has taken effect.
He had developed an unforgettable obsession and an incomparably deep love for her.
His possessiveness and desire for her had long since reached its peak.
These things can no longer be hidden.
What's more, she was clinging to him so tightly.
How can he leave?
"Hiss..." His forehead was damp with sweat as he gritted his teeth and endured the pain, saying, "Qingqing, just a little longer, okay?"
"I promise, it will be fine in a little while."
"You're lying!" Shen Zhiyi cried out. "That's exactly what you said half an hour ago!"
"There's been absolutely no improvement!"
Not only that, he's becoming more and more...
Shen Zhiyi bit his shoulder, "If you don't leave now, you can forget about ever coming into my room again."
The mermaid pearls rolled off one by one.
Qingyuan's eyelashes were slightly wet. He kissed away her tears, pressed his forehead against hers, and said, sweating and panting, "Sweetie, you should relax a little too."
"Otherwise, how can I leave?"
