After finishing the meal, Xu Qingyuan stared blankly at the golden bowl in his hand. Suddenly, the mermaid snatched it away, and with a powerful flick of her tail, the bowl flew out of the cave like a shooting star.
Xu Qingyuan was left in shock, his expression one of disbelief.
Recalling the heavy, substantial feel of the bowl in his hands, Xu Qingyuan felt a sharp pang in his heart; that was an artifact!
Just moments before, while eating the fish, he had noticed the intricate patterns carved on the golden bowl. The delicate lines and unique designs seemed familiar; he believed he had seen them displayed in the collection of some wealthy magnate's home.
However, before he could examine it closely, the mermaid had ruthlessly tossed it outside the cave.
In an instant, Xu Qingyuan sprang to his feet and rushed to the cave entrance, desperately searching for any trace of the golden bowl. The mermaid did not stop him; she simply watched quietly from the side.
Beneath the steep stone wall, amidst a cluster of rocks, there was no sign of the golden bowl. It seemed to have returned to the embrace of the sea.
Xu Qingyuan lowered his head in disappointment, his shoulders trembling slightly, his face filled with frustration and helplessness.
Seeing this, the mermaid slowly swam over to Xu Qingyuan's side.
Her glass-like eyes held a hint of confusion; she did not understand Xu Qingyuan's actions.
However, she could comprehend his sad and distressed expression.
The mermaid extended her slender appendage and gently licked Xu Qingyuan's face, her touch slightly moist and warm.
Feeling the sudden warmth against his skin, Xu Qingyuan instinctively tried to pull away but found himself firmly held in place by the mermaid's strong hands at the cave entrance.
Narrowing his eyes, Xu Qingyuan saw the sharp, slender nails of the mermaid firmly gripping his shoulder.
Seeing this, Xu Qingyuan turned his head away in frustration.
The mermaid's essence continued to glide toward the wound on his neck, its movements gentle as a breeze.
Xu Qingyuan furrowed his brows, wanting to struggle, but in an unguarded moment of eye contact with the mermaid, he caught a glimpse of concern.
For some reason, Xu Qingyuan gradually gave up resisting, allowing the mermaid's essence to wander across his face and the wound.
The mermaid's face appeared even more stunning in the light at the cave entrance; its skin shimmered with a pearlescent glow, and its hair cascaded down like seaweed on either side of its cheeks.
Is it comforting me?
This thought popped into Xu Qingyuan's mind.
The wound on his neck seemed to hurt less after being licked by the mermaid. Curiously, Xu Qingyuan reached out to touch it, his fingers gently stroking his neck but finding no trace of the injury.
"Hmm?" Xu Qingyuan let out a sound of surprise from his throat, tinged with confusion and astonishment.
He carefully felt around, repeatedly confirming that his wound had indeed vanished before he couldn't help but frown slightly, his eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings.
Then, he slowly raised his gaze to meet the mermaid's eyes, which were only ten centimeters away from him.
Through the amber-colored, faintly shimmering eyes of the mermaid, he clearly saw his own reflection.
His face was flushed, his red lips moist and vibrant, and he was tightly embraced by the mermaid.
Before he could continue to look, in just a second or two, the mermaid unexpectedly lowered her head and covered his lips with hers.
The slender tongue eagerly attempted to breach his teeth. Cold sweat instantly broke out on Xu Qingyuan's forehead as he seemed to understand what this mermaid wanted to do to him.
Damn it, she actually took him for a partner.
Xu Qingyuan's brows twitched violently. In a moment of distraction, the mermaid took advantage of his inattention and slipped her tongue inside.
"Ugh~"
In an instant, a physiological reaction made Xu Qingyuan involuntarily gag.
However, he didn't actually vomit anything; instead, the nearby mermaid turned her head with a sullen expression.
"Hey, you’re not angry, are you?"
Xu Qingyuan gently shook the mermaid's arm in an attempt to appease her, wearing a cautious smile on his face.
The mermaid turned away, ignoring him, still proudly holding her head high as if she had suffered a great injustice, looking just like a sulking child.
He couldn't afford to offend the mermaid right now. Xu Qingyuan suppressed his instinct to gag and carefully continued to shake the mermaid's arm.
His previously flushed face turned pale in an instant, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
After a long while, the mermaid finally turned back, but the look in its eyes as it gazed at Xu Qingyuan was particularly pitiful.
Its eyes shimmered with watery light, sparkling like waves, and its handsome little face looked wronged. Its ears twitched slightly, making it appear extremely pitiable.
"Uh, I'm sorry, I was just..."
Xu Qingyuan hesitated, unsure of what lie to concoct to deceive this highly intelligent mermaid.
Seeing that Xu Qingyuan had only spoken half of his sentence, the mermaid withdrew its emotions again and turned away haughtily. This time it even rotated its entire upper body, its fish tail following suit, leaving Xu Qingyuan with a solitary and sorrowful silhouette.
Xu Qingyuan: "..."
He felt powerless and let out a helpless sigh.
Forget it, if he couldn't comfort it, then so be it.
Whatever!
Xu Qingyuan stood up, his movements slightly weary as he returned to the stone bed, muttering, "I still prefer a higher resting area; sitting on the ground is cold and uncomfortable."
Xu Qingyuan's movements did not escape the mermaid's notice, and it wasn't until she confirmed that Xu Qingyuan had no intention of continuing their conversation that she turned around with a look of panic on her face.
Her exquisitely perfect features were filled with complaint, as if saying, "Why aren't you continuing to coax me?"
Xu Qingyuan felt embarrassed; this mermaid was too difficult to deal with.
For instance, right now, she was shaking her tail aggressively and heading straight for him, only to end up flopping down on the other side of the stone bed with a splash.
She turned onto her side, lying next to Xu Qingyuan in a manner reminiscent of a little wife complaining to her husband.
Of course, this association came after ignoring her over four-meter-long body.
Xu Qingyuan's mouth twitched as he silently mocked himself: "I must be crazy to think like this about a mermaid."
For a long time, neither of them made any further moves.
Xu Qingyuan decided to ignore the mermaid and continued to focus intently on observing the stone wall.
He squinted slightly, his brows furrowed. He wondered who had painted these murals; they were able to create such art in such a hidden place. No wonder this mermaid considered it her lair.
Xu Qingyuan's lack of movement seemed to irritate the mermaid. She quietly turned her head in annoyance, intending to see what Xu Qingyuan was doing, only to notice that his gaze remained fixed on the murals.
"Ugh~"
Xu Qingyuan looked confused: "?"
Hearing this strange noise, he quickly shifted his gaze.
He saw that the mermaid was mimicking the vomiting motion he had just made, and it was so lifelike that the expression and posture were almost identical.
Xu Qingyuan was speechless: "..."
There was no need to get so close.
Seeing Xu Qingyuan's expression, the mermaid not only did not stop but became even more enthusiastic, deliberately making louder sounds of "ugh~ ugh~," as if to challenge Xu Qingyuan.
A black line crossed Xu Qingyuan's mind as he helplessly shook his head: "Can you stop messing around?"
The mermaid ignored him and continued to perform exaggeratedly.
Xu Qingyuan couldn't help but laugh and sighed, saying, "You really are a headache."
As he spoke, he reached up to the mermaid's chin and gently tugged at it.
Only then did the mermaid stop its antics, but still looked at Xu Qingyuan with a proud expression, and the words in her eyes were easy to guess: "Let's see if you dare to ignore me now."
