Before he realized it, Bai Ren found himself chewing on the T-shirt.
No, he couldn’t do this!
How could he eat clothes? Clothes weren’t meant to be eaten.
Stopping his strange behavior, Bai Ren released the T-shirt from his mouth, but his tongue still involuntarily moved a few times.
He unfolded the T-shirt and examined it, lifting it up to inspect from left to right. Eventually, following Mo Yi’s example, he managed to put on the T-shirt. However, it felt a bit too tight!
Uncomfortably adjusting the collar, the contours of his abs and chest were clearly outlined.
“The fabric of the clothes worn by land beastmen is really uncomfortable,” Bai Ren complained. Their sea tribe’s clothes were light, thin, and flowing, making them very convenient to wear.
Of course, Mo Yi looked really handsome in his military uniform.
Worried about stretching Mo Yi’s clothes, Bai Ren eventually gave up on trying on other clothes and simply grabbed a bedsheet, wrapping it around himself.
Then he walked back to the water tank, picked up the food Mo Yi had left for him, and ate it hungrily.
After finishing his meal, he scooped some water from the tank with his hands and drank it.
As Bai Ren gulped down the water, he couldn’t help but feel a bit bored, wondering when his partner would come back.
Meanwhile, Mo Yi had finished dealing with the military affairs and hurried home.
It was almost noon, and Mo Yi couldn’t help but feel excited at the thought of his soft and sticky little companion possibly waking up.
However, as soon as he entered the house, Mo Yi sensed that something was wrong. Things in the living room had clearly been moved. There were many puddles on the floor, but they weren’t from the traces of tentacles moving around; instead, they looked more like footprints left by a human.
Had someone come? Why were there so many puddles on the floor? Could his beloved be in danger?
Mo Yi had completely forgotten how terrifying his companion could be. He rushed to the bedroom, where the room with the water tank was located.
As soon as he opened the door, Mo Yi saw a tall man with long silver-gray hair sitting on the bed, surrounded by a white bedsheet.

“Ruo Yu!” the man called out, then seemed to realize that he still had something in his mouth. He quickly spat out the T-shirt and stood up, smiling at Mo Yi. “Mo Yi, you’re finally back!”
Mo Yi stared blankly at the familiar yet strange face he had seen in countless little worlds, and couldn’t help but admit that he was deeply impressed by his partner’s appearance in this world. Tentatively, he asked, “Baibai?”
“It’s not Baibai, I’m Bai Ren, the prince of the sea tribe!” Bai Ren emphasized earnestly as he walked over to Mo Yi.
As they approached each other, Mo Yi realized just how tall his companion was in this life.
Beastmen were generally tall, like Mo Yi and Benedict, who were usually over 1.95 meters tall. Even Luo Naimei, who he used to mock for being short, was over 1.80 meters tall. But the Bai Ren in front of him was at least over 2.2 meters tall.
“Bai Ren, you’re so tall!” Mo Yi exclaimed.
Bai Ren, upon hearing this, smirked proudly. He had always been either carried or placed on Mo Yi’s shoulder, but now, he finally had the chance to look down at him.
“Hello, my future queen,” Bai Ren declared Mo Yi’s identity without hesitation.
“Queen?” Mo Yi tilted his head in confusion, finding the title quite novel.
The next moment, he was caught off guard as the man in front of him grabbed his chin and kissed his lips.
Mo Yi’s lips, which he had longed to kiss, were finally his. Now that he had grown up, he wasn’t the same kid as before.
“Yes, you’re my future queen. You found me and took care of me before. You liked me, right? I accept your affection!” Bai Ren declared recklessly, his demeanor arrogant, but his eyes fixed firmly on Mo Yi’s expression, waiting for his reaction.
As for Mo Yi, he was ecstatic beyond words.
At first, he was worried that his companion’s previous state might have caused his affection for him to be merely from dependence. But now, Little Octopus had grown up, and the first thing he did was tell Mo Yi that he wanted him to be his queen.
What was the difference between this and a confession!
Mo Yi was thrilled and excited. He immediately embraced Bai Ren’s neck and gave him a passionate kiss, successfully igniting the excitement in his partner as well.
Being kissed like this by Mo Yi, Bai Ren felt his heart race and his mind go blank.
He knew that kissing was an intimate act only shared between partners, so he had kissed Mo Yi just now. But what he did just now couldn’t even be considered a kiss; this was a kiss!
This is so exciting!
Bai Ren hugged Mo Yi tightly, uncontrollably deepening the kiss as he explored this new sensation that he had never experienced before.
It felt incredibly strange and wonderful, as if he had opened the door to a whole new world.
Moreover, the fact that his queen took the initiative to kiss him meant that he had accepted him. He knew that his charm would definitely conquer this beastman!
However, as the long kiss came to an end, Bai Ren’s expression immediately turned sour.
Mo Yi was puzzled by his partner’s sudden change in mood. Then he heard Bai Ren say, “Why are you so skilled at kissing? Have you kissed someone else before? Is it that ugly creature called Luo Naimei?”
Mo Yi couldn’t help but find the situation amusing. He quickly explained to his partner, “No, I’ve only kissed you, you’re the first and only person I’ve ever kissed.”
Mo Yi wasn’t lying. He had only ever loved one person, and that person was Bai Ren, across space and time.
“Why are you so skilled, then?” Bai Ren frowned suspiciously at Mo Yi.
Embarrassed, Mo Yi coughed awkwardly a couple of times. He couldn’t possibly tell him that he had learned all this from him in their past encounters in different little worlds!
“Well, maybe I just learn quickly. After all, there are books and movies…” Mo Yi awkwardly explained.
Fortunately, they had spent a lot of time together, and Bai Ren had watched quite a few movies with Mo Yi before. Mo Yi used to pick a movie for them to watch together at night, which was barely enough to convince Bai Ren.
But seeing how skilled his queen’s kissing technique was while his own was lacking, Bai Ren couldn’t accept it!
Driven by his competitive spirit and some other hidden desires, Bai Ren kissed Mo Yi back and forth several times. He called it “learning and practicing.”
After several rounds of kissing, seeing Mo Yi all weak and breathless from his kisses, Bai Ren finally felt satisfied.
Sure enough, I’m also exceptionally gifted. Look at the queen’s appearance, I’m very satisfied with it!
However, two people in love, both full of youthful vigor, kissing passionately, clearly still feel like they lacked something.
However, just when the two of them were deeply engrossed, Bai Ren suddenly pulled away, as if forcibly trying to calm himself down, and sat up.
“Not yet!” Bai Ren said, his face somewhat grim, clearly feeling frustrated.
“Why?” Mo Yi asked.
Hadn’t his partner already recovered? Could it be that his injuries were still not healed? Then they indeed should not be so reckless.
Thinking this, Mo Yi looked at Bai Ren with some concern. However, the man in front of him looked gloomy as he said, “Not yet, because I haven’t reached adulthood.”
“What?” Mo Yi’s face went blank for a moment at the words.
The system had already confirmed that Bai Ren was one hundred percent an adult, and he had been for who knows how many years.
Before, Bai Ren had the appearance of a juvenile due to severe injury and regression, but now his partner could restore his human form, and he looked like a fully grown man. Yet he told him he hadn’t reached adulthood?
“006, what’s going on?” Mo Yi asked the system in his mind.
006, who had already entered deep sleep in the depths of his mind, emerged upon hearing Mo Yi’s call.
After pondering for a moment, 006 replied, “Host, it’s possible that the regression isn’t just physical but also affects memories. Now the target’s physical condition has improved a lot, but there may be problems with his memories.
The system detected earlier that the target’s mental state is also quite chaotic.”
Hearing this, Mo Yi remembered that indeed there was such a thing, and tentatively asked Bai Ren, “So, how old are you now, and how long until you reach adulthood?”
“I’m already over sixty now, and it’ll be another dozen days or so until I reach adulthood. Don’t worry, we have to wait for me to become an adult, then we can return to the sea tribe and have a grand wedding.”
Bai Ren smiled reassuringly at Mo Yi, with a look of “don’t rush,” leaving Mo Yi unsure of what to say.
But seeing Bai Ren like this, Mo Yi could only nod along. However, for seafolk to reach adulthood at over sixty? That lifespan was too long!
The usual lifespan of beastmen is usually just over two hundred years, and three hundred is considered long-lived. If his partner’s lifespan was really that long, what would he do?
However, Mo Yi wasn’t too worried because he couldn’t be considered entirely a part of this world. Perhaps he could ask the system if there were any other ways to extend his lifespan when the time came.
What Mo Yi didn’t know was that Bai Ren hadn’t told him everything.
The lifespan of seafolkis indeed not short, but it’s not significantly different from that of beastmen on land. The real longevity lies with the royal family of the sea tribe. The lifespan of sea tribe royalty can usually reach six or seven hundred years, and those with powerful abilities can even live for a thousand years.
The reason Bai Ren insisted on taking Mo Yi back for a formal bonding ceremony was because he wanted to receive the blessing of the sea god. As long as they truly loved each other, the royal family could share their lifespan with their loved ones.
And Mo Yi was the one he was willing to share half of his life with, to spend the rest of his days together.
So that’s why he was very childish lmao Baibai you better get your man
Uh oh. Bai Ren has grown a little and has already started scheming
Thank you for the update!!♥️
Wow share half.of his life! True love!
I will miss the soft and adorable Baibai
