The long, black hair was wet like clouds, winding over her body, accentuating Shen Tang’s fair skin. Her flushed cheeks were as intoxicating as rouge, her eyes crystal clear reflecting the moonlight, lips moist and crimson, stirring one’s imagination with allure.
Jia Lan’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he stared directly at her, his voice becoming hoarser,
"Do you... want to touch the tail?"
This time he took the initiative, letting her touch it.
Shen Tang couldn’t refuse at all; last time, she hadn’t had enough!
Under the young man’s dark and expectant gaze, she reached out to gently touch his sturdy tail swung in front of her.
Her slender, white fingertips seemed to be tinged with flame.
Every time she brushed over the dark blue scales, it elicited a slight tremble from Jia Lan’s body.
His breathing became increasingly rapid, the corners of his eyes reddened, and his gaze towards her carried a rich, indelible passion.
Jia Lan’s hand on her waist tightened.
The moment before the desire broke free.
His tail twisted, hooking her body, changing to another position.
Shen Tang came to her senses, noticing the tail brushing against her waist and legs, gently rubbing.
Jia Lan leaned down to her ear, whispering hoarsely, "You invited me over today for something even more important, didn’t you..."
"I understand."
"I want to."
"Let’s start."
Without waiting for Shen Tang to speak, Jia Lan swiftly untied her belt.
Her body felt cold; she grabbed his hand, trembling, "Are you... really ready?"
"...Is my answer not clear?" Jia Lan pinched her chin, lowering his head to kiss her crimson lips.
Using actions to express his desire.
Like a desert traveler encountering sweet water, he instantly fell in love, maddened in his pursuit, with a trend towards more.
Shen Tang’s eyes widened, her body stiffened, not expecting him to be so direct.
"But... didn’t you say you’d rather die than pair with me..." she whimpered indistinctly.
Jia Lan once detested the original, usually neither cold nor warm towards her, always loving to mock her.
Shen Tang always thought Jia Lan hadn’t had those thoughts about her.
During the mermaid estrus period, she didn’t dare speak up.
Recalling his words from back then, Jia Lan regretted it so much his intestines twisted with remorse, no wonder she hadn’t sought him out!
Truly lustful yet cowardly.
If she had taken the initiative, he would have long...
Besides, she looked vastly different from the once ugly face distort.
The Shen Tang from back then indeed made him detest her, wanting nothing more than to escape.
But Jia Lan really liked the current Shen Tang.
Heaven knows, in midnight dreams, his thoughts revolved around her.
He wishfully wanted to climb into her bed at night; yet, as a dignified Prince of Sea Country, how could he indulge in such shameless and base acts, simply waiting for her to make the first move.
Unexpectedly, he nearly suffocated from waiting, missing the opportunity.
"Foolish female." Jia Lan angrily bit down on her lip, "Can’t you see?"
"I like you."
"I want... to be your partner, to be your true Beast Husband!"
Jia Lan let go of a stunned Shen Tang, his long fingers caressing her lips, feeling frustrated, "How long do you want to keep me waiting?"
That damned leopard stole food several times; he hadn’t even tasted a single spoonful of stew.
He had no choice but to take the initiative.
This foolish and lustful female truly didn’t know his daily torment, his pain.
Shen Tang saw the vivid purple-red color blooming in the depths of the young man’s azure eyes.
His body emitted a cold, subtle scent.
Shen Tang inhaled his fragrance, losing control, emotions in a whirl, locking eyes with his captivating gaze, her soul seemingly drawn into an endless whirlpool.
The world dimmed, and she could only see him.
Unbeknownst to Shen Tang, when a male mermaid has thoughts of pairing, his body also undergoes changes that induce the female’s estrus, better tempting his desired partner, significantly increasing mating success rate.
Moreover, the charm of Royal Merfolk is the strongest; once they set eyes on a mating target, almost no female can resist their allure.
Jia Lan absolutely would not have estrus for the original, and Shen Tang found no such cases in her memory; she just suddenly found him extraordinarily fragrant and appealing.
She wanted so much to do something... indescribable with him.
Shen Tang wrapped her arms around the young man’s neck, leaning in to close the distance between their lips.
Jia Lan’s breath deepened, readying her clothes.
Males are innately knowledgeable about these things; in an instant, he stripped her bare.
Jia Lan’s eyes contracted when he saw the marks on her body, his large hand clasping her waist tightly, his aura becoming dangerously cold!
Shen Tang was full of suspicion and followed his gaze, glancing down.
He definitely didn’t want to be interrupted at such a moment.
It would absolutely ruin it.
Jia Lan meticulously selected this spot for half a month, with its beautiful environment and secluded nature ensuring no outside disturbance.
To catch them in the act, that dead leopard would have to make it over here first.
With everything set, Jia Lan settled his mind and impatiently wanted to truly be together with her.
He was really looking forward to it.
Only by obtaining acknowledgment from a mate could he be considered a real male beast.
This night would be his official coming-of-age ceremony.
The blessing she bestowed upon him.
Shen Tang’s peripheral glance drifted over his fishtail, her heart slightly startled, "Do you want to turn back into human form?"
How would this tail work?
Jia Lan’s ears turned blood red, covering her eyes, "Then don’t look."
Shen Tang smiled at the corners of her lips, both of them were partners, having expressed their intentions to accept each other, so what was wrong with looking?
Jia Lan was still young after all, it’s normal for him to be unable to let go.
Switch to Xiao Jin, that shameless dog man, not only would he not cover her eyes, he would tear away any disguise and have her appreciate his grand and powerful physique.
Thinking about it, Shen Tang blushed even more.
Vision disappeared, making other senses even more vivid.
The young man’s thin lips landed by her ear, whispering, "Don’t be nervous..."
But his heartbeat echoed like a drum, Shen Tang could hear it loud and clear.
Who was the nervous one?
Was it her?
Or was it him?
Subsequent events naturally unfolded.
Jia Lan’s learning ability was strong, transitioning from inexperienced to skilled.
He had never tasted such a sensation.
So wonderful.
Body and soul, both trembling.
