CHAPTER 97: CHAPTER 97: PREGNANCY

He held the female tightly, his fish tail winding around her legs.

Lacking oxygen, she had to desperately steal breaths from the mermaid’s mouth. She clung on like a drowning person holding on to their last hope, tight and unwilling to let go.

Under the deep water, the rippling waves shimmered with a brilliant luster.

The mermaid’s mating song lingered under the water, unending and tireless.

Tears mingled into the deep water, Ruan Li couldn’t tell if she was crying.

But this pleasurable assault on her nerves, stimulated tears to continuously seep into the water.

Xi Han kissed away the tears at the corner of her eyes, unwilling to let even her tears flow into the water.

Ruan Li’s powerless hand slipped and grasped his dorsal fin.

The mermaid’s back and tail formed a perfect arc, scales emitting a faint glow under the water.

The delicate touch in the icy water, like a veil brushing against the face.

Although scent couldn’t be detected in the water, Xi Han felt that the dazzling white skin before him looked especially tempting, he ground his sharp teeth, only willing to lightly taste, leaving just a faint pink mark.

The tense back, covered with smooth muscle lines, especially when caressed by those warm hands...

He said, "Female Head, please grant me a descendant."

Repeated low murmurs, melodically resounding in Ruan Li’s ears under the water.

A blatant confession, a bold courtship.

Unfortunately, she didn’t understand.

However, Ruan Li felt she was going crazy.

Through kisses, she continuously stole oxygen from the mermaid’s mouth, her tense nerves were struck over and over.

She couldn’t even manage to say stop.

The slippery scales of the fish tail made her almost unable to stand, she could only cling tightly to the only support in the water.

...

When Bai He received the letter from the postman, he glanced at the calm, ripple-less water surface.

In the evening, Ruan Li drank the ginger soup made by Bai He, each sip made her retract her neck.

Though it’s for her health, the ginger soup was really not something she could enjoy.

Ruan Li frowned and finished the whole bowl of ginger soup.

Her ears perked up as she heard Bai He there sternly admonishing Xi Han.

Bai He: "The water is so cold, Ruan Li isn’t a marine creature, staying underwater for a long time will make her sick."

Xi Han: "...Oh, okay, it won’t happen next time."

Bai He: "Also, she’s human, she can’t breathe underwater, staying underwater for a long time is very painful."

Xi Han recalled when they mated just now, Ruan Li cried from being bullied, he lifted his eyes, looked at Ruan Li who was drinking ginger soup, "Was it really painful?"

Ruan Li choked on the ginger soup, the spiciness almost made her cough out half a lung.

Bai He’s face showed displeasure as he stared at Xi Han.

Bai He: "Don’t try to deflect. You and her... mate, did she agree?"

Bai He repeatedly ground the words "mate" at the tip of his tongue, finally pronouncing them with a barely noticeable jealousy.

Xi Han: "Ruannuan surely agreed."

After speaking, he was about to turn to ask Ruan Li again.

Ruan Li pretended not to hear, drinking her soup.

A tiny chill emanated from Bai He’s eyes: "Ruan Li, do you understand... you are very likely to become pregnant after this?"

Ruan Li was stunned.

Suddenly a little flustered at heart.

She turned to Bai He, "Preg-pregnant?"

The panic on her small face was clearly evident.

Xi Han’s previously casual attitude vanished upon seeing Ruan Li’s panic. He slightly raised his upper body, brows furrowed, "Ruannuan?"

He called out to Ruan Li, seemingly surprised by her reaction.

"Really, will it happen?" Ruan Li anxiously asked.

Bai He pressed his lips together, coldly glanced at the stunned Xi Han, "The rate of conception is very high."

Ruan Li’s pupils contracted, "Is there any way..."

She felt another intense gaze.

Ruan Li saw Xi Han looking at her.

She swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

But Xi Han understood.

His voice became cold and sharp, "You don’t want him."

Ruan Li’s gaze flickered for a moment, she didn’t dare to look at Xi Han, just a quick glance revealed his hurt.

"No, I didn’t mean that..." Ruan Li said ambiguously.

Bai He saw she didn’t know how to explain to Xi Han, "Ruannuan is only twenty years old, it’s not fair to her to bear descendants now."

"Females are naturally endowed with the ability to control reproduction, she has the right to choose when to conceive, of course she can refuse to bear your descendants." Bai He’s calm voice smoothly alleviated this awkward and somewhat angry atmosphere.

"She has the right to refuse anyone."

Bai He’s cold voice flowed like a mountain stream, softly arriving.

Xi Han’s eyes glimmered.

"Ruannuan, she needs to be the first to bear mine." Xi Han stubbornly stated.

Mermaid Beastmen not only possess strong possessiveness, formidable combat power, destructive power, but also extraordinary beauty and alluring songs that easily entice the Female Head to give birth to their offspring first, this is their nature.

Ruan Li murmured, "It’s too early for this."

Bai He educated Xi Han, "Every female has her own thoughts, some females like offspring, but some can’t accept it, Xi Han, you can’t demand this from the Female Head."

Xi Han lowered his eyes, hard to read his expression, but verbally he seemed a bit unwilling, "Understood, I won’t impose my thoughts on Ruannuan."

Bai He saw Ruan Li detached and uninvolved, he turned to her and said, "Ruannuan, you also need to know to take care of your own body."

In the face of temptation, you must know to resist.

Bai He didn’t say this out loud, internally, he wasn’t that strict towards Ruan Li.

Ruan Li nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Then tonight, Ruannuan will continue to sleep with me."

Xi Han instantly lifted his eyes, coldly stared at him, "Bai He, dare you say you have no ulterior motives?"

Bai He pressed his lips, "I won’t touch her."

Xi Han eager to prove himself, "I won’t touch her either!"

Bai Helooked at Xi Han with great distrust in his gaze.

Ruan Li sat on the sofa, stroking the little fox.

"Nibble nibble nibble..." she shook the dried fish in her hand, "Xu Mo, want to taste the dried fish."

After waking up, the little fox’s spirit was okay, but his appetite didn’t seem very good, he did like eating snacks.

Instruments diagnosed Xu Mo’s body with no issues, just some dehydration and malnutrition.

The biggest problem was not only having no memory, but also seemingly lacking even beastman consciousness.

He seemed just like a cute normal little fox, without much difference.

The little fox familiarized with Ruan Li’s scent, leaned against her leg, seeing her teasing him with crackers, he lifted his head to casually cooperate for a moment before placing his big tail under his head to nap.

Ruan Li saw he ignored her, and started the diligent task of petting.

The little fox comfortably hummed.

Seeing the two men there reasonably battling with words, Ruan Li cradled the little fox, "There’s one over here too, maybe Xu Mo should accompany me at night."

The little fox yawned with a "woof".

"No way." "No way."

They spoke in unison.
