The rich fragrance of flowers surrounded the two of them, and a faint red tinge had appeared on the pale blue fish tail.
The first period of heightened sensitivity had long since ended, but Fu Mingxu felt that everything today was even more overwhelming than that period.
When Han Tao released the breath from his mouth, a bluish-green ring appeared around his black pupils, and the fair skin on his neck dazzled his eyes.
As Han Tao felt a slight pain in his neck, the sweet and delicious dragon blood had already entered his greedy mouth.
The soft fish tail came into play at this moment, tightly wrapping around him. Han Tao did not stop him from sucking the dragon's blood, but followed his instinctive impulse. The intense desire that arose made him press down hard again.
The reverse scale and the fabric were difficult to embed in an instant.
The dense dragon energy instantly transformed this merman garden into a private territory, and no creature was allowed to enter before the end.
The Merfolk Palace stood silently, as if nothing had happened.
Only the strange flower in the enclosed space could hear how the sobbing echoed until the damp cloth was torn open, and the screams that no one could hear came to an abrupt end.
...
On the shores of the East Sea, Meng Shui was conversing with a merman lying on a large rock. The merman's silvery-white fishtail was submerged in the sea with the waves as he recounted his recent experiences.
"Seven days ago, the Merfolk Palace was suddenly covered by a powerful dragon aura, and the entire area where the palace is located became inaccessible." Meng Bai said with some regret that he shouldn't have brought his new friend into that flower patch. "Nothing else was affected, but a new member of our clan entered Huan Hua's courtyard and hasn't had a chance to come out yet."
No one knows where this powerful dragon energy came from. Logically speaking, the dragon race originally lived in the Sea of Illusion, so it would be impossible for them to look down on this small East Sea.
Hearing his words, Meng Shui paid no attention to the dragon aura and instead asked, "A new member of the clan?"
“Yeah, right.” Meng Bai wagged his tail contentedly, feeling the sea breeze. “Yes, his appearance is simply amazing. I heard he has a partner in the human race, but the scent on him is exceptionally fresh. He has never practiced dual cultivation.”
"Many of his clansmen are already eyeing him covetously; it'll probably be quite a spectacle then."
"I hope he's not in danger while he's shrouded in dragon energy."
Upon hearing this, Meng Shui frowned slightly, his expression clearly showing disapproval: "Do those humans really want to become merfolk?"
The sea breeze was slightly salty. One of them was half-submerged in the water, while the other stood on the shore. They didn't look like two merfolk, but rather like a person and a merfolk having a conversation.
"With the king's refined elixir, there's no problem." Meng Bai didn't think there was anything wrong and even laughed, "Besides, Lord Meng Lian said that they all took the elixir voluntarily."
Meng Bai wanted to persuade him to return to his clan, but he caught a glimpse of a menacing figure out of the corner of his eye and quickly entered the sea.
Meng Shui knew who it was without even looking. Her previously cold expression softened, and she turned around and called out, "An Ran."
Since Zhang Anran became a Shura Ghost but did not enter the Yellow Springs to cultivate, and Meng Shui did not return to the Merfolk, the ghost and the mermaid lived on the shore of the East Sea, leading a quiet and peaceful life.
Although he did not return to his clan, he was still informed of many things that had happened within the clan because of the occasional visits from Meng Bai and other merfolk.
The idea of humans or demons transforming into merfolk was the most unbelievable and terrifying thing he had heard recently.
Zhang Anran watched the waves disappear into the sea, his body radiating a murderous aura yet his expression remained calm: "Meng Bai is here again? If you want to go back to your clan, I'll go with you."
But Meng Shui shook her head, "The Merfolk of today are not the same Merfolk of the past. I don't want to go back."
Previously, merfolk could freely choose to live anywhere in the East Sea after finding a mate upon reaching adulthood. However, it is unknown when it began, but the merfolk have been forbidden from seeking mates of other races. If a mate is indeed of another race, merfolk pills are available for conversion.
He told Zhang Anran about these changes, and she indeed looked incredulous.
Humans have a high opinion of themselves, so how could they all be willing to transform into merfolk?
The two discussed the matter for a while. In particular, when Zhang Anran heard that the dragon energy had arrived, she suddenly remembered something. She remembered that last night a golden light swept across the East China Sea, and the powerful spiritual energy woke her from her meditation.
A guess flashed through Zhang Anran's mind, and he suddenly said to Meng Shui, "Let's go to the Merfolk."
Having lost her physical body and entered the Asura Path, she possessed a ghostly form, so seawater didn't affect her much. She told Meng Shui her guess, and without hesitation, he led her down into the deep sea, following the path Meng Bai had taken.
The deep sea remained unchanged, with fish swimming freely, until the two arrived at the floating city. Meng Shui realized the seriousness of the situation when he saw twice as many merfolk as before.
The barrier did not hinder the merman, and Zhang Anran, like a ghost, followed behind him and entered smoothly.
Inside the floating city, the merfolk were discussing something. Meng Bai, who was among them, spotted him and greeted him warmly.
The two sharks were born from the same womb, which is why Meng Bai kept looking for him. After all, the natural blood connection is more important than any amount of benefit.
"Meng Shui, you're back." Meng Bai felt a chill and immediately moved away from Zhang Anran without making a sound. He couldn't wait to share the latest news with him, "Did you know? Our clan's newest member has been chosen by the Dragon Clan leader. The Merfolk might be able to form a marriage alliance with the Dragon Clan."
Dragon leader?
Meng Shui and Zhang Anran exchanged a glance, a look of shock and understanding washing over them.
"The king has arrived!"
A merman shouted, followed by the even clanging of weapons hitting the ground. The two looked up and saw the mermen of the floating city clearing the middle of the road.
When Zhang Anran saw the two people walking alongside the Mermaid King, the shock in her eyes was palpable.
His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, his eyes shone like stars, and the scales at his temples shimmered with fragmented light. His brows and eyes seemed to hold the beauty of the deep sea. His fishtail was a gradient of pale blue, and his tail looked both supple and powerful. Even standing in the center of the merfolk, it was impossible to conceal his captivating beauty, like a divine flower in bloom.
Even though mermaids are naturally beautiful, this newborn mermaid's appearance is unique.
He stood aloof to one side, the cold starlight in his eyes making one feel breathless.
The entire floating city fell silent, as if afraid to disturb this magnificent divine flower.
The Merman King watched with satisfaction as Han Tao's gaze occasionally fell on the new mermaid beside him. With a wave of his hand, he announced: "Three days from now, the mermaid Meng Xu will marry Han Tao, the leader of the Dragon Clan. At that time, the dragon and mermaid will be united as one family."
Zhang Anran looked at the two familiar faces opposite him and fell silent. He turned his head and asked Meng Shui, "Have you merfolk always stayed hidden in the East China Sea and never come out?"
Meng Shui knew what she wanted to say and nodded with difficulty: "Besides me, only Meng Lian has contact with the outside world, but he doesn't dare to contact the major immortal sects. I heard that he often goes to a medium-sized sect."
Yunhan City is thousands of miles away from the East Sea, and the merfolk who have lived in the deep sea for a long time are indeed unaware that the leader of the dragon clan already has a partner.
After receiving a fleeting glance from Han Tao, the two looked at each other for a moment and then simultaneously chose to remain silent.
Inside the floating city, the merfolk's gaze fell upon Fu Mingxu. They scrutinized his features and suddenly realized the truth behind the rumors of the dragon leader's "love at first sight" for the newborn merfolk.
Only after the vast procession of the Merfolk King's announcement had disappeared into the distance did Zhang Anran piece together the whole story from the whispers of the merfolk.
In short, this is the story of a beautiful mermaid who accidentally meets a dragon visiting her amidst the blooming flowers. The two fall in love and pledge their lives to each other.
Of course, as for what happened during the seven days and eight nights that were sealed by the dragon's energy, they could only guess.
Everything was going in the direction the Merman King wanted. In a courtyard of the palace called "Luoguang Palace", Fu Mingxu didn't even glance at Han Tao who was leaning over. He moved his fishtail onto the bed, turned around, and ignored him.
The demon bone chain on the fish tail disappeared when the two were intercourse, something he never expected.
Han Tao wasn't too surprised when he realized it was made from the demon bones of the Hehuan Demon.
“It’s my fault.” He sat on the edge of the bed, his cold profile softened under the palace lantern. “I shouldn’t have stayed so long.”
Fu Mingxu stiffened, snorted coldly, and continued to ignore him.
The warm glow of the palace lanterns shone on the two of them, and the soft light gave their pale blue tails an alluring sheen.
Han Tao's Adam's apple bobbed violently twice, and the intoxicatingly beautiful taste immediately flashed through his mind. His golden eyes darkened, and his burning gaze traveled upwards along the tip of his tail.
Even without turning around, Fu Mingxu could feel that burning gaze.
"Don't be angry, and you can't blame me entirely. I only wanted to scare you, but your tail wouldn't let go, and I acted impulsively..." He spoke very sincerely, and if you ignored his overly deep and hoarse voice, Fu Mingxu might have believed him.
He sat up abruptly, his eyes seemingly blazing with fire, and punched him in the chest.
Seeing the opportunity, Han Tao immediately grabbed his fist, enveloping his hand in hers. Her rough fingertips covered the soft, smooth back of his hand, and although she hadn't done anything, it inexplicably carried a hint of passion and desire.
Fu Mingxu struggled a couple of times but couldn't pull his hand away, staring at him in shock: "You're disgusting!"
This kind of "insult" had no effect on him, who had already tasted the bitterness. He leaned over, closing the distance between them, and directly pulled his other hand to press it against his chest, looking at him intently: "You're happy too, aren't you?"
There was no one around, only the palace lanterns quietly emitting light. The thick curtains were lifted to one side, and with just a gentle pull, they could conceal what was happening on the bed.
Han Tao's words reminded him of his screams at the summit, and the tip of his tail began to turn red.
It must be admitted that he did not suffer at all during those days. If there was any fault to be found, it would be the other party's endless plundering.
But not wanting to lose face, Fu Mingxu tilted his head back, half-closed his eyelids, and glanced down at him, letting out a cold snort: "Happiness? A little bit, I guess."
Her long, slender neck gleamed under the palace lanterns, and the coldness in her angry eyes dissipated, revealing a fresh and vibrant beauty.
"Gulp."
Han Tao's Adam's apple bobbed, and he couldn't help but swallow.
A note from the author:
Surprised? Unexpected?
Not only did I send it ahead of time, I also made them... hehe...
Human form is not an option for now, but mermaid form is quite resilient.
Chapter 70
Having spent those days and nights together, Fu Mingxu understood perfectly the meaning behind his gaze at that moment.
The tip of his tail twitched instinctively. He subconsciously covered the reverse scale hidden among the soft, bouncy scales, and looked at him warily: "What do you want to do?"
Han Tao stared at him intently and uttered a single word: "You."
Fu Mingxu: ...Did I really hear that right?
He never expected that Han Tao's face was as thick as a city wall. He was immediately overwhelmed by her gaze, and her cheeks flushed red like the sunset, giving her a tender and beautiful look that she had never had before.
One of his hands was still on Han Tao's chest, and he could clearly feel the strong, powerful beating of the flesh in his palm, each beat faster than the last, reminding him of the night when they were naked together, and he had been clinging to the other's chest and heard the heartbeat.
If Han Tao hadn't carried him into the Dragon and Phoenix Mirror and continued into the Mermaid King's Palace, he would have died of shame and indignation.
"Have you no shame?" Fu Mingxu was furious at his appearance and tucked his tail, which was hanging on the edge of the bed, back in.
No matter how much he scolded, beat, and glared at him, Han Tao showed no anger whatsoever. Their breaths slowly intertwined and blended in the air.
Their foreheads touched, and Han Tao caught a whiff of his faint fragrance. His voice was low and affectionate: "I know you're happy."
Even though Fu Mingxu wouldn't admit it, he knew in his heart that Han Tao was right, and the wet tail at the end was proof of that.
He did derive pleasure from the other person, even if that pleasure was built on being powerfully plundered and wallowing in endless collisions, the essence of the pleasure remained.
Whether it's the sweetness of dragon's blood, the fullness of the body, or the pleasure of the mind, these are all clearly evident.
He never imagined that, under the influence of the Mermaid Pill, the characteristics possessed by the Mermaids would allow the two of them to break through the limitations of human form for the first time.
The air suddenly became somewhat hot, and even the soft light from the palace lanterns became ambiguous.
Fu Mingxu's nose was easily enveloped by his breath, and the cool, light blue scales began to heat up. One of his fists was still clenched in the other's palm, while the other hand was pressed against his heartbeat.
The hem of her shirt was lifted, her fist was lowered, and a beautiful corner of her reverse scale, surrounded by fine scales, was revealed.
