7.13 – Did this man do nothing but think about how to take advantage of him all day long…

Half a month’s time could change a lot. For example, the person who had always been cold as ice. For example, the merchild who had always looked very cute.

Lou Cen was beaten out of the room by a tail, but he was still satisfied. After all, he had been able deeply kiss for a very long time, and a certain merman had kissed him back for a very long time after he recovered his wits before sweeping him out the door.

This meant that Xue Ling had only hit him because he had been tossed about to the point of annoyance, rather than because he was unwilling to be kissed.

After the maturity phase, the merman’s body had grown a lot, giving him a feeling that he had been completely remoulded and was born again. When he sat up, his original clothes were a bit short, showing a white and slender waist. His scales had changed, his fishtail becoming more intricate and attractive, and Lou Cen’s eyes heated up as he looked at him. But soon, the scenery was covered up by the merman who felt that his waist had become a little cold.

His hair had grown out a lot, and now hung over his shoulders, bangs covering his attractive forehead. The slight baby fat on his face has disappeared as he shot up, and his eyes had lengthened and narrowed, causing that kind of demonic aura to rise again.

Before, he could be praised as cute, but if one were to praise him now, they could only praise him as attractive, or, especially attractive.

Lou Cen had watched him change day by day into his present appearance, and not only did the affection in his heart not decrease, rather it grew to be more and more.

The days spent waiting were too long. Lou Cen would carry the person into the water every day, and then fish him out at night. The little merman did not eat or drink for half a month, but he did not slim down, and even transformed multiple times. The people of the Duke’s Palace were all rather surprised, but when they thought of his clan, they silently buried all their doubts in their stomachs.

Deep-sea merfolk were the forefathers of natural merfolk. They had been treated as ancestors by the upper echelons of the Empire, which was why nobody had gone to harass them in so long. Xue Ling had only been brought out due to that group of researcher’s psychotic desire to give back to society by creating more merfolk.

The reason the merfolk were special and precious was because there were only a small number of them. The question of what would happen if they used some methods to increase their number was something that the Empire’s high level members have never dared to think about.

Xue Ling rubbed his temples, slowed down, and remembered that he had been unconscious for half a month due to that damned maturity phase. He looked down at himself, and was obviously not surprised at the changes. After stretching lazily, he waved towards Lou Cen and asked, “Half a month has already passed. How were the matters that occurred that night handled?”

“The underground city has already lifted their seal and re-opened, but the murderer has not been found, so it is still under a state of martial law. My informant went to see the clinic, and found that it had been completely dismantled.”

“Destroy one, and they will go to another place and build another to continue doing what they want to do.” Xue Ling pouted. He also knew that he would not be able to cure this kind of disease with his actions. Although it had felt great to kill those human scum personally, if it had not been for the sake of the original body’s desire, he would not have made his move this way. “If the roots are not pulled out and destroyed, there will still be people who are caught and roped in to become artificial merfolk. Maybe next time they won’t simply steal the eggs of deep-sea merfolk, but rather encourage the upper echelons of society to wage war in order to obtain the corpses of a few deep-sea merfolk for research.”

Lou Cen pressed his lips together and said, “You know your own origins?”

Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and recalled that there were still some things that he had not explained properly to Lou Cen yet. Although he felt that the deep-sea merman that had found him on his own would explain everything clearly, there were still some things that were easier for him to explain himself. “You know about it?”

“Yes.”

“It’s probably better if I explain. After all, I was the one who experienced it personally.” Xue Ling slowly lay down again and pulled the quilt up to cover himself, staring at Lou Cen with a pair of watery eyes. “The start of the matter began when your mother spoke to me about dissolving our engagement.”

Lou Cen: “…” Starting off with a stab to the heart, it hurt.

“I had originally planned to disagree even if it meant my life. After all, I liked you so much back then, and would even throw away my life in order to be with you.” His expression was very calm as he spoke these words, and it was almost as though he was talking about another person’s life. Although Lou Cen felt somewhat wronged by this, he found this remark quite useful. “But there was a voice telling me, ‘Agree, there is no such thing as being unable to separate from another person’.

Lou Cen: “…” If he knew who it was that said those words, he would immediately go and beat them to death.

“So, I agreed to her request and broke off the engagement with you. From that night on, I began to dream intermittently…” At this point, Xue Ling lowered his gaze. “In my dream, I had not agreed with Aunt’s request, and was unwilling to dissolve the engagement. Aunt asked me to meet with her again and again. One time, something unexpected happened… and I fell into the hands of a gang of kidnappers.”

“The dream was too realistic. They were exactly those people in the laboratory… And then I died in that lab… Because I am a deep-sea merman, so they wanted to study me. They were really excessive, and did a lot of very cruel things. I had originally been able to hold on, but those people told me that you had already gotten together with Qingjun, and he was the real Young Master of the Duke’s Palace. I was just an adopted child, and I had disappeared for so long, but nobody noticed…”

“And then I committed suicide.”

His tone was very calm, but Lou Cen’s heart was throbbing when he heard it.

It was for no other reason than because he had also seen these scenes before. Since that night, he had also started to have those dreams intermittently. Sometimes, he also felt that the him in those dreams was not himself, because he absolutely would not fall for anyone other than the little merman for any reason. And the Yan Qiwen in his dream, was also not the little merman that he liked…
