After the medical team stationed on the shore safely removed the suppressor on the back of Bai Chunian’s neck, they tested whether there was any cyanin virus left in his body. Cang Xiao’er ordered Alliance operatives through the communicator to escort the two back to rest and recover their strength, and temporarily ordered them not to go outside while waiting for the results of his comprehensive investigation.

Satan was also personally transported back to headquarters by the Alliance Secret Service.

They went back to Bai Chunian’s small apartment downtown for the time being, and as soon as they got home, Rimbaud dove into the fish tank and fell asleep in a ball without saying a word. op0nP2

Bai Chunian was also tired, he shook out his elbows, worked his collar-numbed neck to and fro, and slumped onto the sofa, staring at the dark TV blankly.

It was obvious that Rimbaud was in a terrible mood. When he was unhappy, he didn’t like to pay people any attention, staying curled into a ball alone. It was the same today, the mood in the room was heavy, the windows had not been opened for a long time, and the dust in the room floated in the sunlight filtering in through the gaps in the curtains.

Bai Chunian closed his eyes for a while. Although he was physically and mentally exhausted, he couldn’t fall asleep, as soon as he closed his eyes he kept envisioning the sight of Rimbaud protecting himself using the method of curling into a ball, but the most vulnerable tip of his tail was then cut off, the severe pain forcing his companion ability, Rupert’s Tear to conclude, and then his hands and fishtail being secured upon the operating table, the sharp blade cutting open his abdomen, blood flowing all over the floor.

“Ugh…” Bai Chunian felt a blazing heat and struggled to breathe like never before.

The collar tightly closed up on Bai Chunian’s neck, and the skin on his neck turned red.

The binding collar formed from the dead sea core rock could control and remind Bai Chunian if his energy was about to overflow out of control by tightening automatically, but correspondingly, Bai Chunian had no choice but to endure the pain of being restricted by the collar.

Since returning from the Berna Pharmaceutical Factory, the amount of energy overflows has become more and more frequent.

The more he wanted to sleep, the more he couldn’t sleep. The result of forcing himself to sleep was a severe headache, so he got up and picked up the plastic bag filled with vegetables at the door, and wore his slippers to the kitchen. iutLNe

These things were delivered by Bi Lanxing, after Bi Lanxing followed the Alliance’s car and delivered them safely, he went to the nearest wet market to buy some fresh vegetables, meat, eggs, and commonly used medicines and sent them upstairs. After that, he left without saying much.

This child has always been attentive in all things, he was very good at observing the words and expressions of others and knew what to say and what to do on any occasion, a personality that easily charmed others. This time the liquid nitrogen network kidnapping incident was also thanks to his thinking and discovering the location of the submarine through the process of elimination so that relevant information could be transmitted to the usable terminal of the submarine in time.

“Already able to take responsibility now.” Bai Chunian looked at the note left in the plastic bag, written on it was, “Have a good rest, I can take care of the rest of the trivial matters,” the handwriting was fluid and mature.

From the fridge, Bai Chunian took out the leftover rice from two days ago, used the microwave to soften it, cracked three eggs into it, and mixed it evenly, then lowered his head and cut carrots in silence, slicing each piece into a pretty five-petaled flower, then chopped up a large handful of hotdog bits, stir-fried it for some time in the pan, shut off the flame, and scattered salt and sesame oil. zTfBYV

Because he specially learned to cook during the period of time he was suspended, even though it was a simple fried rice with eggs, it was made with care and it turned out beautiful. He found an unopened bottle of Enoki mushroom sauce in the refrigerator, dug out two spoonfuls, and covered the rice with it. He then carried it over to the side of the fish tank, tapping the glass lightly.

“You eat, I’m not hungry.”

“Nonsense, when are you not hungry? I’ll feed you, I bought a wholesale box of spoons, now there’s no fear of biting it in half.”

“I said I won’t eat, don’t you understand!” Rimbaud yelled impatiently, his fishtail whipped the surface of the water viciously, and the water surged out of the fish tank, splashing onto Bai Chunian’s cheek.

Bai Chunian opened his mouth a few times, and finally stopped talking. The bedroom was silent for a long time, so quiet that he seemed to be able to hear the bubbling sound of the blue-light jellyfish swimming in the water. 3XOB26

After an unknown amount of time, Rimbaud turned his head back to look at him, and saw Bai Chunian squatting beside the fish tank, head lowered, eyes covered by his hair, not making a sound, not moving either, only his fingers were gently scratching beside his feet.

“…” Rimbaud also realized that he had just vented the anger suppressed in his heart upon him.  He crawled out of the fish tank, lowered his body, and carefully examined Bai Chunian’s face.

A drop of water fell onto the back of his hand, it was warm.

Rimbaud cupped his face, Bai Chunian’s eyelids and the tip of his nose were all red, his eyes were filled with water, his pupils transformed into the blue pupils unique to white lions like amber reflecting the sea, the corners of his lips curved downwards, it was really a very aggrieved expression. 64JA5X

“Randi…I wasn’t towards you…” Rimbaud helplessly wiped his eyes with his own hands.

“Sorry, sorry, I didn’t protect you well. It’s always been like this, so you aren’t willing to tell me anything.” His alpha voice was thick with choked-back sobs, while he was crouching on the ground. “I will clean up that area of water, don’t be angry anymore…”

“Oh… oh… Randi, don’t be like this, it’s not your fault.” Rimbaud embraced him with both arms, plastering his cheek to his tear-soaked face and rubbing. “I’m only tired, there’s no intention of blaming you.”

“But I blame myself. I’m an Alpha, I should take on more, I thought I could do anything, but it was just my egotistical delusion.” zEphdG

“It doesn’t matter. Don’t be upset, my heart will hurt, right now you are as fragile as a piece of young coral.” Rimbaud kissed him on the cheek.

“Do you kiss young corals in the sea?” Bai Chunian raised his reddened eyelids to look at him.

“Yes, this way will make them grow a little faster.”

“How do corals grow up?” Mngr1A

“If coral polyps don’t die, they will grow big.”

“How do mers grow up?”

“First the omega conceives an egg, which incubates in the omega’s body or in his partner’s pouch, a year later it is born in the form of a mer.”

“Then did you leave an egg in the research institute?” wIjo3i

“…” Rimbaud’s fingertips instantly stiffened, and his expression wavered. “What do you know, who told you that?”

“Yes or no.” Bai Chunian grabbed his evading hand with one move, staring at him with red eyes, refusing to back down even a step.

“It’s already dead, so it can’t be counted as one. Now, it can only be counted as a pearl, borne from a part of my soul.”

“So the little white fish refers to it?” Bai Chunian stared, behind his bloodshot eyes, a bitter struggle to suppress the energy on the verge of losing control. “I thought you were… joking.” zHQ4yf

“That is also something that cannot be helped.” Rimbaud peacefully examined his nails. “Mer’s organs are basically all located in the fish’s tail, while human organs are in the abdomen. After being shot full of the mimetic agent, their organs will shift from their place, and inevitably will discharge some things. It died when it was ejected from my body, stupid people still wanted me to continue to conceive it, so they conducted repeated operations to put it back in my body, even suturing my body to prevent me from forcing it out, that is also utterly useless.”

The Institute’s sophisticated life-detection equipment was unable to detect life encased in pearl form from outside the mother’s body. This was a tragedy for both medical and experimental accidents due to contempt and overconfidence.

Bai Chunian’s fingertips pressing on Rimbaud’s fishtail began to tremble violently.

“That’s why your lower body carried wounds then… Then when I misunderstood that you and other experimental subjects… Why didn’t you explain it?” At that time, he had said such outrageous words to humiliate Rimbaud, remembering them now, he felt more than regrets. m2nEW

“I don’t like to explain to those who misunderstand. The sea has tides, the truth will surface as the water recedes, and I can afford to wait.”

“You don’t need to blame yourself.” Rimbaud raised his hand and rested it on his hair. “Life is cyclical, no grief and no joy, it’s nature.”

“It really hurts huh…” Bai Chunian embraced his waist tightly, his head buried in Rimbaud’s chest. “You must be in so much pain. I’ll kill them, I will take them apart bone by bone, dig out their internal organs to wrap the corpses and hang them all on trees, they’ll all die with the most fearful expressions.”

Rimbaud lowered his head and stroked Bai Chunian who had become hysterical, silently releasing a wave of soothing white thorn rose pheromone, gently suppressing the restless alpha who was agitated and on the verge of losing control. y0SeAq

He gradually grew dazed, but when he returned to his senses, he found that the hair under his palm had become soft and fluffy, Bai Chunian’s short hair had once again turned white, and also had grown longer.

“I think it’s very tight.” Bai Chunian tried his best to endure, biting his lip, hooking his fingertips on the inside of the collar to give himself a little room to breathe. “Rimbaud.”

“Relax, there won’t be a problem.” Rimbaud operated the Dead Sea Heart Rock collar and slowly loosened the buckle a little bit. “With me here, you won’t lose control.”

“Rimbaud…don’t loosen the collar. Go to another room, I’m afraid I’ll hurt you.” P92dlM

“Won’t happen, you won’t hurt me.”

“In the drawer..there’s a spare suppressor…..quickly help me put it on… quickly…”

“You don’t need it. The suppressor is just a shackle invented by humans, which is a tool that carries insult. Don’t rely on it, come rely on me.”

“Wu.” The white lion’s features on Bai Chunian’s body became more and more prominent, changing from ears to animal claws. Under Rimbaud’s comfort and guidance, his clothes came off, his exposed arms were covered in a layer of white down, and his eyes became bigger and rounder, filled with rippling blue precious stones, it was soul-stealing. ryxhSF

His expanding limbs’ muscles flourished, and the snow-white hair covered his entire body until his towering spine ridged along his neck touched the chandelier on the ceiling.

He unexpectedly completely evolved into beast form.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Having become a pure white flawless gigantic white lion, a collar locked around its neck, a mineral fishbone affixed on an ear, and its pupils glowed with blue light.

The room was only so big, the white lion had no choice but to sit low on the ground with its tail curled beside its two front paws. jql0Kr

In front of the giant beast, the size of a mer seemed ever so small, but Rimbaud was not panicked. He calmly sat on the edge of the fish tank, raised his hand lightly, and caressed the white lion’s cheek, luring him in front of himself, meeting his forehead with his own.

“Are you more comfortable? It’s better to release suitably and relax than to suppress and endure it all the time. Just sleep like this for one night, and tomorrow you will recover your original form safe and sound.”

The white lion adorably and obediently lowered its head to let him pet, he purred, and retracted its sharp nails, gently resting its paws on the mer tail. The pink fleshy paw pads that had not been rubbed were soft and glossy.

The white lion put its head into Rimbaud’s arms, where he rubbed and sniffed pitifully at his belly, he stretched out a little tongue and licked his scales a little. qOIzUD

“If you had gone back with me from the start, you wouldn’t need to be so oppressed now. This is the real full mimicry. People are obsessed with imitating god, but ignorance causes them to only manufacture disaster.” Rimbaud kissed the white lion’s pink nose. “My child, you are unique because only gods can make gods.”

The curtains in the bedroom were tightly shut, the light was dim, and the mer’s fishtail emitted a serene faint blue light, illuminating him and the enormous snow-colored wild beast before him.

That night, the white lion kept watch beside the fish tank, body curled up into a ball, enfolding the fish tank in his arms, his eyes half closed, so tired he was about to fall asleep. Rimbaud laid on his pure and holy fur, cupping a transparent lyre made of hydration steel in his hands, plucking the water-colored strings with his slender fingers, and softly recited a serene tune in the language of mers.

“Jeswei nowa jeswei. (The savior does not save the world)” LkrB Y

“Youyi glarbo bigi ye. (Punishment falls upon the world)”

The mer lowered his light golden eyelashes, the corners of his lips tilted up ever so slightly.
