Chapter 150: Chapter 150 - 144: Mermaid’s Tears

The sea glimmers with waves, the cold moonlight wraps gently, the sea breeze carries a teasing ambiguous sound, stirring the heartstrings.

No.

Can’t keep waiting like this.

She must finish the mission first.

Otherwise, at this rate, there will be no chance later.

Shen Tang’s watery eyes are misty, "Can we switch... it’s uncomfortable."

Jia Lan’s face turns crimson. He thought it was his lack of experience making her uncomfortable, so he embraces her waist and rolls over.

After the world spins.

Their positions reverse.

His gaze becomes even more blurred, raising a hand to touch her face, his eyes seem to shimmer with water, "You really want to do this..."

"Mm-mm, this is great, I like it very much," Shen Tang said, leaning down to kiss his lips.

Jia Lan’s heart sways, being coaxed until lost without direction.

He suppresses the strange feeling and a hint of shyness in his heart, letting her do as she pleases.

Shen Tang becomes the manipulator.

Jia Lan’s breath grows more chaotic, his handsome face flushed, deeply moved.

He stares straight at her, full of tender affection in his eyes.

Time passes slowly bit by bit.

Waves surge and flower fragrance is dense.

Approaching the moment, Jia Lan suddenly grips her waist, rolling back over.

Not sure how long has passed.

Jia Lan’s breathing falls heavy, tears filled with water appear in his eyes, sliding down his cheeks.

Upon contact with the air, that tear unexpectedly transforms into a water-blue pearl.

Shen Tang holds the crystal tear in surprise and delight; this must be the legendary Mermaid’s Tears!

A system notification rings in her mind,

[Beep! Congratulations to the host for completing the side mission: Intimate encounter with Jia Lan and obtaining the Mermaid’s Tears, Reward: one Resource Gift Package! The reward has been automatically delivered to the system’s inventory, please verify!]

Shen Tang breathes a sigh of relief, thinking the tide had receded, only to meet an even stronger surge quickly!

Jia Lan clasps the back of her head with a big hand, kissing again.

At this moment, Jia Lan dares not meet her gaze, feeling both shy and annoyed inside.

She surely thinks he can’t compare to that dead leopard.

No, he must catch up fiercely!

In any case, he can’t be outdone by other males.

If she thinks he’s not good and never seeks him again, then what?

Jia Lan kisses her lips again and again, his soft hair gently brushing her cheeks and neck, under the moonlight his deep blue fish tail is beautiful and dreamy, captivatingly wonderful.

Shen Tang didn’t expect, usually the purest Jia Lan, when serious, could make her defenseless!

She never thought he had this side to him!

She had assumed he was so pure, unexpectedly he’s also a hidden tiger, overwhelmingly domineering.

His thin lips near her ear, voice hoarse,

"Who do you like more?"

Under his patient teasing, Shen Tang can’t say any other name.

"Like you..."

Jia Lan buries his head and bites her collarbone, "Who am I?"

"Jia Lan."

He whispers, "Didn’t hear, say it again."

"..."

Again and again, tirelessly.

Shen Tang’s voice is fragmented, turning into the wind and waves sound.

...

Elsewhere, in the villa.

Xiao Jin woke refreshed from sleep, waking up to find the sky dark.

The female beside him is also long gone.

He hurriedly gets dressed, downstairs to search for someone.

He searched around but couldn’t find her.

The air still lingering with her scent almost disappears.

Xiao Jin rushes to Shen Li for answers, "Where did Tangtang go?"

Shen Li was sitting on the sofa reading a book.

As Xiao Jin approaches, he sees the book is upside down, seemingly absent-minded, mouth twitching slightly, "Stop pretending to be cultured, quickly tell me where Tangtang went!"

Shen Li glances at him, calmly speaking, "After lunch, she went out fishing with Jia Lan, hasn’t come back."

"Fishing?" Xiao Jin frowns, his face an odd look at the dark sky outside the window, could it be late at night they still haven’t returned?

He suddenly thinks of a possibility, his handsome face turning black, gritting his teeth, "Those two must have gone fishing in bed!"

Shen Li gazes deeply towards the door, he has not slept all night, waiting half the day in the living room, yet hasn’t seen them return.

From the current situation, it seems those two probably wouldn’t return tonight.

He pinches the book pages almost into waste paper, his voice gentle, with a smile not a smile, "They’ve fished all night, if they continue... Xiao Tang should be carrying fish eggs."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin instantly explodes and frizzles.

He no longer cares, transforming into beast form, rushing out.

Shen Li does not chase; they’re all her Beast Husband, doing such things is nothing unusual.

But his heart feels stifled, not comfortable.

He looks down at the ancient book in his hand.

He shouldn’t have been emotionally involved.

Yet still keeps it in mind.

This leopard is usually annoying enough, thinking of another coming to compete, Shen Li pinches his forehead, somewhat headache inducing.

He can imagine how chaotic the house will be in the future.

Forget it, this life still has to go on.

Thinking this, Shen Li looks at Lu Xiao sitting opposite, he hasn’t slept tonight as well, busy handling paperwork.

Lu Xiao handles tasks meticulously, and diligently.

After addressing personal matters, he often works at night.

Balancing work and family to the extreme.

Shen Li nods in satisfaction, this one is worry-free, neither competing nor grabbing, appears to only love work, reassuring the males at home.

Meanwhile, after Xiao Jin ran out, he searched a large circle, finally following the lingering scent along the riverbank.

Their scent ends at this point.

Xiao Jin searches the surroundings for a long time, but doesn’t find them.

A thought crosses his mind: wouldn’t those two have followed the river?

Xiao Jin rushes along the riverbank, heading downstream.

The further down the river, the wider it gets.

Xiao Jin runs desperately for over an hour, discovering the river’s end leads to a certain estuary.

Ahead lies the vast sea.

The horizon blocks his view, also halting his steps.

Xiao Jin is okay crossing rivers, but as a land leopard, cannot enter the sea.

He angrily roars skyward, running crazily along the sea shore all night, leaping and raging like mad.

...

"Ah-choo."

Shen Tang sneezes, feeling someone is cursing her.

She looks up at the starry night, the sky faintly turning fish belly white.

Shen Tang secretly bought a Recovery Potion from the mall, drinking it to withstand it, avoiding fainting embarrassingly.

She thought: twelve hours of effects, must have passed.

Xiao Jin should be awake by now.

Wondering if he noticed she’s gone.

Jia Lan’s voice is husky, gentle, "What’s wrong?"

Shen Tang sniffles, "Nothing, it’s a bit cold, probably the sea breeze."

Jia Lan’s fingertips emit water flowers, helping her clean carefully, he takes clothes from the space for Shen Tang to put on.

The night sea is indeed too cold.

He doesn’t keep tormenting her too long, anyway, there’s plenty of time later.

Taking it one step at a time.

After resting for a night, the next morning, Jia Lan takes Shen Tang back to Greenfield City.
