“What?” Ai Li looked puzzled. Since last night when he was informed that the mermaid he was responsible for had become the director’s partner, Ai Li had been in a daze.
This feeling was probably akin to the CEO of an entertainment company marrying one of his artists or like a cabbage he had diligently cultivated being eaten by a pig just after planting.
And now, what puzzled him was the mermaid he used to be in charge of asking him, “How many years can the owner be sentenced for molesting a pet?”
Jun Ye was sipping juice. At this moment, on the small map in the upper left corner of his field of vision, Ai Li’s previous blue marker had turned yellow, suggesting that their relationship as caretaker and pet no longer existed.
Thinking so, Jun Ye raised his head. He saw Ai Li still wearing a confused expression, not understanding the situation.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Jun Ye lowered his head again and bit down on the straw. How could he explain such a thing?
Thinking about that scoundrel who showed no remorse, cuddling his tail this morning, Jun Ye gritted his teeth and said, “My owner… bit my tail, and… ej*culated on my tail.” Jun Ye wanted to cover his face; it was awkward for a grown man to say such things, almost like a young girl telling the police that a pervert touched her leg.
Ai Li’s face turned red instantly after hearing Jun Ye’s words. He looked around anxiously, relieved when he saw that nobody was paying attention to them. However, his expression was still tangled and hard to comprehend.
Jun Ye’s eyebrows raised, and he asked, “No sentencing?”
Don’t the laws here protect the physical and mental health of endangered species?
Jun Ye frowned and said, “Shouldn’t there be a warning or something? Or maybe a way to dissolve our relationship.”
Ai Lihad been keeping his mouth shut, but when he heard “dissolve our relationship,” he finally spoke up, “The ‘owner’ you mentioned refers to Colonel Gu Jiaoxiu, right?”
Jun Ye naturally nodded. Besides that lunatic, who else could be so perverted?
“Then, are you injured?” Ai Li asked deliberately, keeping his expression formulaic and making a conscious effort to avoid looking at inappropriate areas.
Jun Ye lifted his tail slightly and said, “No.”
More accurately, he had smacked Colonel Gu Jiaoxiu with his tail several times. The guy’s face was still swollen this morning when he left. Cough, this should be considered self-defense, right?
Ai Li pondered for a moment and said, “This, at most, can be considered attempted domestic violence. There is no similar legal responsibility and punishment in federal laws.”
“Wait a minute, domestic violence?” Jun Ye was a bit dumbfounded. Could the term “domestic violence” be used like this?
Ai Li coughed, realizing that he might have thought too much. Did the mermaid not feel hurt but only felt bullied?
If that was the case…
“I misspoke. The intimate interests between partners certainly do not count as domestic violence. If you unilaterally request a divorce…”
Jun Ye couldn’t hear the rest. His brain cells were overloaded by the impact of the words “partner” and “divorce,” causing a short circuit in his mind.
Afterward, Jun Ye questioned Ai Li extensively and discovered that what he thought was an aquarium selling rare animals was actually a military-affiliated matchmaking center. Those military uniforms1I noticed that Jun Ye usually calls the officers Military Uniforms without caring much about them, so that’s what it means when you see him talking about uniforms were here for blind dates with mermaids.
In this world, humans could actually mate with mermaids and produce offspring. Humans, whether they were female or male, engaged in activities without any restrictions.
Damn, could those male mermaids capable of laying eggs still be called males?
After this understanding, Jun Ye felt that his worldview, molded in the Zerg-controlled world, was once again on the verge of collapse.
Watching several military uniforms surrounding a male mermaid in the resting area—arranging the best seating, placing the mermaid on a chair, and even personally mixing drinks—each of them gazing at the mermaid with eyes so tender it seemed like they could drown in them, just like how Colonel Gu Jiaoxiu looked at him during last night’s dinner.
Jun Ye’s gaze swept across the fish tails covered by long skirts, and his mood became somewhat complicated.
He admitted that being manipulated by the young master had bent him, but facing a man whose lower half was a fish tail… he absolutely couldn’t muster any interest.
But Gu Jiaoxiu…
Jun Ye recalled that person, pouncing on his fish tail, licking and nibbling with an appearance of extreme desire.
How could anyone perform such acts on a fish tail?
“Luo Sha.”
A figure approached him, blocking his view of the mermaids and military uniforms. Jun Ye squinted and looked up.
With the swelling on his face already gone, Gu Jiaoxiu stood there backlit by the light. His neatly combed warm-brown hair and single eyeglass monocle added to his refined appearance. Wearing a high-end white uniform, he looked just as well-groomed as the first time they met.
The small map in the upper left corner, representing the positions of Jun Ye and strangers or mermaids, now had a pink dot representing Gu Jiaoxiu’s position, flashing so brightly that it almost blinded Jun Ye’s eyes.
This must represent their partner relationship. The system chose a good time to display it.
Jun Ye’s gaze shifted to Gu Jiaoxiu’s face. The pink color on his face was definitely not a sign of a serious person.
Gu Jiaoxiu greeted Jun Ye with a smile, “Lunch is ready. Let’s go home.”
Jun Ye, looking at Gu Jiaoxiu and the mermaid carriage car he brought, blinked with some interest. This… was it a wife asking her husband to come home for a meal?
Knowing about the misunderstanding, Jun Ye wanted to clarify things with Gu Jiaoxiu. Without refusing, he put down his juice and stood up to leave.
“Ah? Luo Sha, take it easy.”
Gu Jiaoxiu hastily caught up, bringing the neglected mermaid carriage with him. He carefully protected the mermaid, seemingly ready to immediately lift him onto the carriage if Luo Sha got tired.
Jun Ye’s skirt was designed for easy movement, with a slit at the front of the hem allowing the fish tail to slide without compressing other fabric.
The problem was that it exposed a reflective section of the fish tail, not explicitly revealing but giving a sense of concealed allure, most effective in stirring the hearts of onlookers.
This made Gu Jiaoxiu, who occasionally stole glances, feel captivated.
Returning to the suite with the door marked with a mermaid courting illustration, a table was already set with a sumptuous vegetarian meal.
Gu Jiaoxiu learned his lesson. After discovering that his mermaid partner wasn’t fond of the dishes listed in the information, he decided to go for a vegetarian feast, crowding the small dining table with over a dozen dishes.
Jun Ye also sat at the table, for some reason, despite his increased appetite in this world, he hardly ate anything today, yet didn’t feel hungry at all.
Even looking at this table full of vegetarian dishes didn’t evoke much emotion in him.
Casually picking a few sea plants that looked good, Jun Ye felt the person across from him sneak glances with every bite, as if trying to gauge his reaction, a look of someone who was used to being teased.
This thought crossed his mind, and then he thought of his own fish tail. Suddenly, Jun Ye found it hard to swallow.
Before meeting Gu Jiaoxiu for lunch, Jun Ye had a lot to say, about their marriage, about why a human would be so interested in a fish tail?
Now, looking at Gu Jiaoxiu, Jun Ye blurted out, “How do humans and merfolk… do it?”
The somewhat innocent Colonel Gu didn’t understand the meaning behind those words for a moment, just staring at Jun Ye.
Jun Ye raised an eyebrow, and under the table, his tail suddenly lifted, squeezing between Gu Jiaoxiu’s knees.
Gu Jiaoxiu took a sharp breath, instinctively tightening his legs around the fish tail.
“Hmm? How do we do it?”
Jun Ye’s expression remained unchanged, casually asking as he gently pressed the tail a couple of times, satisfied to see the young man across from him blush rapidly.
Jun Ye’s fish tail was probably a bit inferior to a snake in length, a distance of a dining table, Gu Jiaoxiu couldn’t touch him, but he could be brazen towards Gu Jiaoxiu.
Gu Jiaoxiu’s face turned red, and his voice trembled, “Tail… the tail…”
The mermaid’s tail tip emerged, and the fins slapped against Gu Jiaoxiu’s stomach.
Gu Jiaoxiu couldn’t hold the chopsticks anymore at this point, both hands grabbing the tip of the mermaid’s tail, bending his body, almost entirely covering the tail.
Whether it was due to Gu Jiaoxiu’s reaction or curiosity about the mating of two different species, something surged inside Jun Ye, and his spirit quickly heightened.
Jun Ye knew his mental state wasn’t quite normal, but in this heightened state, he couldn’t help but continue tapping the tail, “Hmm, the tail, and then?”
Gu Jiaoxiu’s breath gradually became rapid and fervent, curling up, from Jun Ye’s point of view, the seat opposite was now empty.
“Then, huh… then… enter, enter…”
Gu Jiaoxiu’s voice, accompanied by heated gasps, came from under the dining table. Jun Ye, unhurriedly picking up chopsticks, casually picked up a seaweed roll and chewed.
The hem was rudely torn, Jun Ye occasionally shaking his fish tail, fins flying, brushing over Gu Jiaoxiu’s face time and time again.
Jun Ye also heard a suppressed, almost sob-like sound from under the table.
The tail was tightly entwined, feeling some warmth through the layer of fabric, occasional slight pain between the scales, and the comfort of being covered by “water.”
Jun Ye thought, those scales should have been soaked, it was a colorless and thin liquid, 99% water.
…
The fabric rubbed, the heat spread to a slightly raised soft scale, a wet and slippery brush2I don’t think I have to clearly mention it but still…It’s not a brush…lol drawing on it, from soft scale to the soft gap beneath, not missing any corner.
Jun Ye’s breath, imperceptibly heavier, he unconsciously accelerated his chewing, matching the chaotic and unstructured strokes depicted by that brush.
…
Hush, the sleeping dragon in the fairy tale has awakened.
It poked its head out from under the scales, a brave hero used a wet and hot brush to draw it accurately. The dragon eagerly moved outward, using its massive body to block the hero’s weapon in the damp yet fiery cave.
Amidst the gulp-like swallowing, the dragon’s master reached into the hero’s somewhat messy short hair, slightly curling up the corners of his mouth, saying, “Let me teach you how mermaids and humans… should3Uuuh… I think you can let your imagination run wild at what that really…means…hehe…”
Gu Jiaoxiu instinctively felt uneasy. Under the double restraint, he struggled to lift his head, looking towards the sitting mermaid, only to collide with a pair of deep blue eyes with a strange red glow.
“Hmm? Hmm…”
THE AUDACITY OF Jun Ye CALLING GU JIAOXIU A P*RVERT WHEN HE’S THE SAME IF NOT WORSE xD
