Chapter 89 sH6e05

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The light above gradually faded away with the rapid sinking of Agares and I. We are like meteorites, falling into the deepest depth of the ocean. I grabbed the webbed claw that was clenched around my neck and forced him to touch the area where the scale was on my chest, however, when his palm was finally placed there, nothing happened. In suspicion, Agares shook his tail and easily got rid of my entanglement before he turned his body around and swam up. I tried my utmost best to hold his tail, but was met with an uncaring and heavy smack. In that instant, my back muscle and bone became severely injured, and under the intense pain I turned rigid, continuing to sink deeper while helplessly watching Agares’s distancing back.

A huge wave of panic swept from all sides like seawater, putting pressure on my ears, causing my brain to buzz and turning my thinking into a chaotic mess. The severe pain spreaded out from my spine, only to extend down below my tailbone, and then I felt an uncomfortable tearing feeling coming from my fishtail. I looked down and was surprised to discover that the outline of my leg was once again taking shape from inside the scale. At the same time, I immediately felt the discomfort behind my ears—the newly formed gills apparently just closed off at this time. Quickly, a strong sense of suffocation enveloped my entire world. I opened my mouth instinctively to take in oxygen, but the sea water poured into my nose. We wCs

My hands and feet were flapping around, trying to get my body to swim toward the sea’s surface. Under the pressure of the sea, my chest felt like it was pressed into a flat cake under the pressure of the sea, making me feel extremely dizzy. There was a distance of nearly 100 meters between me and the surface which made me realize that I might drown first before I could reach the top. I desperately moved my limbs, however my body was quickly becoming heavier and more sluggish from the lack of oxygen and my consciousness was gradually blurring.

At this critical moment of life and death, there was a dark shadow flickering in the light above. I opened my eyes wide and felt a warm feeling surged in my heart—It was Agares, he had turned back around. Instantly, my arm was firmly grasped by a powerful web claw and was quickly pulled to the sea. Before the last trace of oxygen in my lungs was exhausted, my head finally broke through the sea, and my body was dragged onto a flat rock reef.

Agares upper body was lying on the rock, and he lofty looked down at my current pitiful appearance with narrowed eyes. I could have endured and not show any reactions, but I know that right now, showing weakness in front of him was actually the best way to let him get rid of his guard and hostility towards me. After all, I had just impulsively “attacked” the leader. So I simply curled up and groaned exaggeratingly to make him understand how much pain I was in.

He rested his webbed claw on my back and pressed down not too hard a couple times as if to test whether my injury was really that serious. The amazing thing was that when he touched me, I already began to feel less pain on my back and didn’t find it hard to bear. I didn’t know if this was a psychological effect, but oh God, I really desire for his warm and affectionate care. I slightly moved my body closer toward his arms, feeling like a seal in an aquarium asking for food from a trainer.

I looked up into his eyes, but his eyes were focused on my legs, observing pensively, even grabbing one of my ankles and stroking his webbed claws up along the skin. Obviously he was very suspicious of how my fishtail could turn into the lower limbs of a human. The current Agares had yet to evolve the function of imitating human genes so my changes were all too new for him. What he didn’t know was that all of this was created by the future him.

Despite his ambiguous actions towards me, his eyes remained extremely calm, just like a doctor treating his patient, and his webbed claws gliding over my leg were like a cold scalpel, carrying no emotions. I tried to withdraw my leg, but my heel was firmly held in his palm. He raised his eyelids and glanced at me in a threatening manner. The look in his eyes described me as an ant that he could crush to death at any time. Agares had never shown such an expression to me before.

I took a shuddering breath as I was frozen in place by his gaze, like being dropped into an ice-cellar. I couldn’t help seeing the differences between the Agares in front of me and the him in the future. The gap between both of them was like plunging into an abyss from a hundred meters above, seriously damn this much needed psychology barrier. tkXlbF

Even though this fulfilled what Agares mentioned about the 'Black Scaled King', it was not actually needed, this made me realise that the present him would not engage in my estrus or wooing. However God knew that I wished that he’d behave like an old pervert! Like this, I would be able to seize an opportunity to touch him, so I can place the core of life inside the scale and ‘pass’ it over , but now I was honestly a little afraid of offending him, I wouldn’t be able to bear another whip from his tail again.

Tell me what exactly should I do Agares?

Agares arm suddenly stiffened, his eyebrows raised high with a strange wave flitting across in his eyes, and his gaze fell on my face. Only then did I realize that I had accidentally made a sound. I stared distracely for a sec, becoming aware that “Agares,” this merfolk word, had allowed me to attract his astonishment.

“Agares…” I repeated this syllable clearly again, even though I knew the meaning of the word very well—I’m not certain if Agares was going to reject a human who was sending out courting signals, but at least it would allow him to not treat me so coldly right? However as soon as I dropped the word, his webbed claw came to pinch at my chin suddenly. He leaned over and pressed me agains the rock while he looked closely at me from above. His lips moved, his voice suddenly sounded, muttering in a low voice, “You…who are you?” OYJ9CQ

“Your future descendant and… spouse.”

I said word by word, my voice sounding a little hoarse. The full moon from behind outline the strong and muscular contour that I was familiar. A strong unique scent assaulted my senses making me feel both oppressed and brimming with sense of security. The water droplets on his shoulder dripped and slipped into my eyes. I blinked, feeling a bitter and sour moisture in my eyes. The hell, why just saying this sentence out loud makes people feel so emotional and sad?

Agares’s grip on my chin suddenly tightened, his eyes burning brightly, revealing some obvious ferocity and irritability. I even suspect that he would strangle me the next moment, because what I said may sound completely ridiculous to him. If I was switched to the past me and heard a merman telling me this, I too would probably think that this was a bunch of crazy nonsense and I would probably have him locked up in the research institute.

”It’s the truth!” “I stressed out and went to reach for his hand to touch my chest. However he immediately had a firm grasp of my arm, not allowing me to move. Even now as well, the scale in my chest was deathly still and quiet, not a single activity whatsoever. This made me feel incredibly anxious and I kept trying to my eyes to direct Agares to pay attention to my chest. “This spot here is the mark left by you in the future. There is a piece of your scale hidden under the skin. Maybe if you take it out, you will know what I said was completely true.” 8TFsx1

He skeptically stroked the birthmark on my chest. His sharp fingertips stopped at my heart and cuta somewhat shallow line in my skin. The blood gradually oozed out. His nails had pierced into my skin and flesh causing a stab of pain, but I was shocked to sense that the scale seemed to have melted into my body and there were no longer foreign objects under my skin, however, if Agares’s finger were to pierce any deeper, I might possibly be killed by him. Will he have the heart to kill me? Maybe my death is needed to get him to awaken? Why couldn’t the scales be found? Perhaps all the things Agares told me weren’t all true?

Countless doubts were fighting each other in my head, I gritted my teeth as his fingers penetrated deeper into my wound, dripping with sweat. Just when I felt his fingers about to impale through my chest, he finally took it out. I trembled as I covered the hole in my chest with my hands, fresh blood spilling out continuously, overflowing from between my fingers, and he just twitched his nose, lowering his head to my abdomen, deeply inhaling the scent my blood was emitting.

He sniffed it a little before furrowing his eyebrows. Carrying on, my fingers were pried open by him, he lowered his lips just right above the rupture, and used his tongue to lick my wound. I couldn’t help but stare blankly, feeling my heart brightened once again from the bottom of my heart. I don’t know if my pheromones attracted the current Agares, but it’ll probably make him think that it’s very extraordinary. My body carried his genes, this was something that time couldn’t erase, he didn’t have the heart to see me die.

I couldn’t help but wrap my arms around his slender yet strong neck, thinking of seizing this rare chance to hug my chief. When I touched his back carefully, he snapped open his eyes and looked deeply into mine. Yet this time, he didn’t immediately stop me like last time but instead continued the treatment. His tongue softly licked at my wound that was already healing slowly, the pain immediately lightened up by a lot but my attention was constantly slipping away to his sexy collarbone and chest muscles, and a thought passed through my head—— vaAlcw

Agares caused me to mutate by doing that kind of thing to me, does that mean to successfully pass over the core of life, we’d have to use the same method? It’s true that the fish scale is no longer in my body, that it possibly merged with my body, Agares’s life core had entered my body, and I was like a test tube carrying bacteria. Therefore, this kind of speculation seemed reasonable in the current situation, it signifies that I had to seduce Agares, to make him be ‘sexually’ interested in me.

God damn it, never would I have thought I’d come across a day when I have to use ‘pretty boy techniques’ to deal with Agares, I had no confidence in my sex appeal at all. I took a deep breath, feeling my wound already healing, I had to grasp this opportunity.

I swallowed, my heart slamming against my chest and I gathered my courage to lift my legs, embracing his fishtail with my calf brushing past the armour-like, tight scales. His sharp tail that was floating above the water surface swayed faintly, but no big movements. My courage immediately swelled up, and I lowered my head inch by inch, opening my mouth to tease his winged ears.

Agares suddenly raised his head making me directly meet his deep dark chilly eyes and then a wave suddenly rose up from below. That rough and pliable black fishtail welcomed me with a slash towards the top of my head, I was frightened that I withdrew my arms and feet, shrinking back, but his tail forced me to lie on my back with only a finger width away from the sharp as a sickle weapon as the wave came over my entire face with a splash.

My breath seemed to freeze up with the atmosphere, and my neck was stiff as I stared at the tail dangling above my nose bridge. The moonlight passthrough it’s translucent edges, water droplets gliding on the ice-cold tip, I could even see the circular arrangement of it’s fish bone that supports the base, every single bone had a screw awl thickness, I could imagine it being sharp enough to easily pierce through my skull. Scared witless, I felt a chill run down my whole body, once again experiencing the dangers of offending Agares. It was obvious that trying to seduce him outside his estrus period was a difficult matter. He was just like a dagger inside a hard to pry open scabbard, that if you rashly approach him, you’ll really pay for it with your life.
