CH 37

“Wu, wu…”

The male sobbing and the stirring water sounds blended together.

Jun Ye felt as if he was witnessing the tumultuous sea, a fishing boat capsizing in the storm, and sea monsters lurking beneath the waves dragging struggling sailors into the deep sea.

The sea monster sat high on a throne made of white bones.

He looked down at the sailor desperately struggling on his fish tail. His originally cold and indifferent deep blue eyes gradually covered in crimson.

There seemed to be some substance spreading in the air, arousing the sea monster’s appetite.

This sailor was so delicious, his mouth, his tongue, his strong arms, and his slender waist.

Oh, and he even had two human legs, how perfect.

Jun Ye pressed the back of Gu Jiaoxiu’s head with one hand, the other gently brushing over the shoulder insignia on his clothes.

Two bars and two stars…

“Colonel…” Jun Ye murmured, his tone flat, as if narrating a script.

Gu Jiaoxiu’s breathing, however, became abruptly heavy at this sound, suddenly struggling violently, “Hmm!”

Red lights flickered in Jun Ye’s eyes, impatiently slamming the tail fin down, starting from Gu Jiaoxiu’s shoulders, continuing down, blocked briefly by something hard midway, still slamming down to the end.

As the fish tail descended, Gu Jiaoxiu’s breath shuddered, completely quieting down.

The scent of passion spread in the room.

Jun Ye frowned slightly; it seemed like something that could provide him with energy had disappeared in that instant. The feeling of something escaping made him extremely irritable.

He fiercely grabbed the hair of the person on him, pulling Gu Jiaoxiu, who had entered the sage mode, away.

Jun Ye assessed Gu Jiaoxiu from top to bottom.

His glasses were long gone, lashes and corners of the eyes wet, covered with a liquid that could be sweat or tears. Lips instinctively gaping, forming a tempting ‘O’ shape, covered with moist water marks.

Truly a sorry sight.

As the one who orchestrated this sorry state, Jun Ye stood up calmly. He seemed to instinctively know what to do to make that energy reappear.

Jun Ye forced Gu Jiaoxiu to lie on the chair he had previously occupied. He stood behind Gu Jiaoxiu, the fish tail forcefully squeezing between Gu Jiaoxiu’s two small legs pressed against the ground.

Jun Ye extended his claws in front of him.

The claws, from the waist down, tore down, directly tearing apart the obstructing skirt.

Before Jun Ye could do anything else, Gu Jiaoxiu snapped out of his daze.

Turning his head, he collided with the fish tail under Jun Ye’s skirt. Gu Jiaoxiu’s eyes flickered, and his body instinctively pounced, tightly embracing the mermaid’s tail.

“Mmm, hmm…”

Satisfied.

“…”

Jun Ye looked down in puzzlement at the human buried in his tail. In that moment of the other pouncing, a trickle of energy flowed back into his body.

No, this wasn’t enough.

There could be more in a different way.

Jun Ye brushed away Gu Jiaoxiu’s improper paws, deeply looked at the man buried in his “meal.” Jun Ye silently turned around, heading to the bathroom with his giant tail accessory; it was time for his own “meal.”

Slithering in a snake-like manner, Jun Ye made his way to the bathroom, glancing at the water bed and then at the pool.

Thinking of the lingering scent of oleander, Jun Ye slid towards the pool with his tail accessory.

Knees touching the cool pool water, Gu Jiaoxiu suddenly woke up, quickly spitting out whatever was in his mouth and turned to look.

Unlike the mermaid arena’s activity area, there was a small slope on the way to the home pool. Most mermaids would choose to sit and slide down instead of jumping directly.

Now, they were right in the middle of that small slope.

Gu Jiaoxiu shivered all over.

He was about to be taken to the bottom of the pool!

Gu Jiaoxiu stared fiercely at the pool’s bottom.

Even though his legs were weak, he wasn’t afraid of such a small amount of water. Mermaids loved mating in the water, and he should satisfy his partner’s needs…

Jun Ye also frowned in confusion, looking at his “tail accessory.” Why did it feel heavier? And the energy was cut off again.

Forget it, let’s just get in, clean up, and directly have a big meal of energy.

Being dragged along by the mermaid, Gu Jiaoxiu, almost tearing apart his military boots1It means that he was digging in his military shoes on the ground so as to not be taken towards the pool, was left crying without tears.

Why did his mermaid partner have to be so strong? Couldn’t he just be a delicate little white fish?

Jun Ye dragged Gu Jiaoxiu all the way to the pool bottom. Gradually, Gu Jiaoxiu started using both hands and feet, climbing up Jun Ye’s tail. By the time Jun Ye stopped in the center of the pool, Gu Jiaoxiu had already embraced Jun Ye’s neck, legs entwined around Jun Ye’s waist.

The water was deep enough to reach Jun Ye’s hips, but it didn’t even wet Gu Jiaoxiu’s shoe tips.

Jun Ye lowered his gaze, coldly looking at a certain officer, now a pendant around his neck. Gu Jiaoxiu showed an embarrassed yet eager-to-please smile to his mermaid partner.

Actually… a stronger partner was also quite good, providing a safe haven in the terrifying deep waters.

As for how to mate, Gu Jiaoxiu felt that he could climb onto the mermaid’s back at this altitude…

But Jun Ye didn’t give this land duck2It refers to ducks who have been raised on land and don’t know how to swim, so a person being called like that doesn’t know how to swim! a chance. After a brief eye contact, Jun Ye extended his claws, pulling down the pants of a certain officer, pressing him into the water.

Gu Jiaoxiu: “!!!”

Spousal homicide!

…

Half an hour later.

Cleaned up (at least the lower half), Gu Jiaoxiu hung on Jun Ye like a koala again, showing a smile that was both fearful and eager to please.

Ignoring the pitiful looks from Gu Jiaoxiu, Jun Ye reached out, scooped some water, and extended it towards Gu Jiaoxiu, patiently starting the necessary preparations before the meal.

Colonel Gu’s untouched area was invaded by foreign objects…

Gu Jiaoxiu: “??!!”

Wait a minute! This position isn’t right!

“Quick, stop!”

“Net! A net!”

Gu Jiaoxiu’s voice trembled as he struggled to lift his body, avoiding the merman’s fingers. He stammered, “No, this is not right. Stop quickly! I’m not a female mermaid!”

Jun Ye also looked at him strangely and said, “I’m not a woman either.”

Two males, what else could they do?

As he spoke, he reached out with another hand and firmly pressed Gu Jiaoxiu’s shoulder, forcing him down.

He wasn’t worried at all that Gu Jiaoxiu would let go and escape. The half-hour tug-of-war about “cleaning up” had already made Jun Ye realize how afraid this guy was of water.

In a pool over twenty meters long, in the middle, where could a dry duck that dared not enter the water go?

“No! Even if you are a male mermaid… Ahhh!!!”

As his body was forcibly pressed down, Gu Jiaoxiu let out a scream reminiscent of an explosion.

“No! I am the… Ah! Ahooo!!!”

…

“You! Take it slow… Ah, ahh, ahhooo!!!”

…

No matter how pitifully Gu Jiaoxiu screamed, his hands and feet never moved away from Jun Ye’s body, even when his legs became weak, he still insisted on sticking close to Jun Ye’s waist.

…

…

When Jun Ye woke up from a blurry dream, he felt his whole body sore. His neck seemed to have been strangled, and both sides of his waist and tail felt off.

Especially the tail, it felt just like the sensation of standing in the training ground all day when he first joined the military. But his stomach was very full, as if he had just had a big meal.

Jun Ye reached out to touch his belly; it was very flat.

…

Wait, what is this furry thing below?

Jun Ye opened his eyes and looked down.

He saw Gu Jiaoxiu’s cheek pressed against the scales at his waist, sleeping with closed eyes. The intermittent breaths indicated that the other was sleeping restlessly.

The momentarily forgotten memories flooded back to Jun Ye, leaving him stunned in place.

At this moment, Gu Jiaoxiu lightly rubbed against Jun Ye’s tail, curled up uneasily, and murmured something softly.

Jun Ye heard it clearly; the other said, “Can’t do this anymore,” and “Hold me.”

There was a hint of a sob in his voice.

Jun Ye stiffly reached out, pulling back the thin blanket covering Gu Jiaoxiu.

The skin, usually very fair from working indoors, was covered with numerous bruises, making it look extremely pitiful.

Perhaps sensing that the blanket was pulled away, Gu Jiaoxiu shrank, the hand hanging over Jun Ye’s waist tightened, and his breath became heavier.

Is this breath too hot?

Jun Ye sat up, brushed away the stray hair on Gu Jiaoxiu’s face, and noticed the redness on the skin underneath.

Fever?

Gu Jiaoxiu moved uneasily again, changed his position, and pressed his cheek completely against Jun Ye’s fish tail, instinctively drawing the coolness from the scales.

Jun Ye reached out to hold Gu Jiaoxiu’s hand, encountering some resistance halfway, but still managed to pull it away.

Covering Gu Jiaoxiu with the blanket again, Jun Ye was about to get out of bed to find a doctor when he suddenly smelled the lingering scent of oleander flowers in the air, which he had previously ignored.

Jun Ye paused for a moment, then pulled the blanket off again.

He lifted Gu Jiaoxiu over.

On the back, a viscous liquid slid down the gap between the legs.

“…”

This amount…

Simply… beastly.

I was hoping for a softer first time since Jun Ye experienced love in the first world… oh well :’((
