Chapter 490 Her Body Temperature.

Sensen’s kiss was so, so gentle.

Yu Zhizhi craved his embrace. She wasn’t crying anymore, but she held him tighter, afraid this warmth would evaporate in an instant.

"You..." Yu Zhizhi asked quietly, "Aren’t you angry anymore?"

Yusen’s voice was a bit raw. "Do I even have the right to be angry, Zhi Zhi?"

’Do I have the right to be angry?’

’Even if I died from anger, what could I do about it?’

’Could I leave her? Could I just not care about her?’

’I can’t.’

Hearing Yusen’s words, Yu Zhizhi’s gaze faltered. She looked up at the Mermaid Youth’s jaw and said with utmost seriousness, "Of course you have the right."

It was a very complicated feeling.

’Aside from needing to complete her mission...’

Yu Zhizhi didn’t want Sensen to be angry, sad, or cry.

She whispered, "I want you to be happy."

The small female in his arms spoke with such a soft voice. Yusen’s eyelids lowered, a misty sheen appearing in his ice blue pupils. It was as if he’d lost all his Strength, and he just held her quietly, leaning against her.

’Making me happy is actually very simple.’

Yusen’s slow, deep, and raspy voice sounded by Yu Zhizhi’s ear. "Could you... like me a little more?"

’I hope Zhi Zhi can like me a little more.’

’Just a little more.’

’I know I don’t occupy much of Zhi Zhi’s heart... She cares about so many things, and there are too many rivals for her affection. She has her own little secrets, too. I desperately want to know what they are, but I have no way of finding out.’

Yusen had never asked for much. This was probably the only thing he truly wanted.

From the very beginning, all he ever wanted was her.

"I..." Yu Zhizhi slowly closed her eyes and murmured, "I’ll try..."

’I want to like Sensen.’

’I will try my best to like Sensen.’

A faint bitterness rose in Yusen’s heart. He smiled and hugged her tightly as if accepting his fate.

’I don’t care, though.’

’Since you promised you’d try to like me, I’m going to take you at your word.’

The small female’s rabbit ears brushed against his cheek, tickling him. He kissed them, then lowered his head to kiss her forehead and the tip of her nose. She was so pliant, her eyelashes fluttering gently. The way she looked at him, her eyes seemed to be filled with sweet nectar. Yusen nuzzled her with the tip of his nose. "Kiss me, baby."

The Mermaid Youth’s voice was like a breeze on a spring night—soft, a little raspy, and laced with a hint of enchantment. Yu Zhizhi lifted her chin, and a shallow kiss landed beside his lips.

Yusen didn’t initiate.

He was waiting.

Yu Zhizhi took in the faint, cool, and crisp scent of the sea on Yusen. She gently pressed her lips to his. The touch was soft and slightly cool. Her heart trembled as her teeth gently grazed his lower lip.

Yusen slowly began to respond.

Before long, she was kissed until her body went soft.

Yu Zhizhi’s vision grew hazy, and an unfamiliar emotion began to stir in her heart...

Yusen’s palm rested on her side, his thumb stroking her. He lowered his gaze to the small female’s watery rabbit eyes and coaxed, "Do you want it?"

Yu Zhizhi’s cheeks flushed. She realized this time was more intense than ever before, something she had never experienced.

She...

’I want to continue.’

Yu Zhizhi pecked his jaw lightly. Yusen caught her mischievous little hand. "Answer the question."

He watched the small female pout slightly. She kissed the side of his face, kissed his fins, and her soft lips landed on his neck, her warm breath tickling his skin.

Yu Zhizhi felt incredibly hot.

She gasped softly, "...I want it."

"If you want it, then spread your legs," Yusen said, gently stroking the little rabbit’s nape, his voice like a Demon’s enchanting whisper. "Bite down on it yourself."

Mmph...

Yu Zhizhi felt something explode in her brain. Right now, she couldn’t think about anything but him.

The small female was more proactive than ever before.

After Yusen let out a muffled groan, her fervor only seemed to intensify.

The Mermaid Youth’s blue eyes were deep and dark, tainted with worldly desire. His pale face slowly revealed more of his Beast Form. His dark, choppy hair was damp with sweat, and he looked more bewitching than ever, exactly like the sea demons of legend.

He looked at the small female, who had all but lost her mind, and let out two low chuckles.

’—The bloodline of the Enchanting Shark. It may be base, but it’s certainly useful.’

’—If the little rabbit can’t confess her love with words, then let her do it with her body.’

’—I’ll accept it all.’

Yu Zhizhi felt like she was under a spell.

It was never enough.

No matter how many times, she couldn’t be satisfied.

Sob...

She clung to Yusen, feeling as if she were drowning, on the verge of suffocation.

She craved fresh air, yet she was willing to die in this very moment.

Yusen’s hand caressed her cheek. The youth let out a low, raspy laugh. "I can feel it. Your love."

’This is bliss.’

’So this is the pleasure of using the Enchanting Shark’s Strength.’

’Then let’s continue...’

...

When Yu Zhizhi woke up, it was already dusk the next day.

’What happened last night...’

’That was so unlike me.’

She felt a little dazed. She couldn’t help but think back on it, and the more she thought, the hotter her cheeks burned.

Ai Xi knocked on the door. "Lady Lord."

She had brought a tray of freshly prepared food.

Yu Zhizhi’s body had been cleaned, and she was in a fresh nightgown. She slowly sat up and looked at Ai Xi. After a moment’s hesitation, she asked softly, "Where’s Sen... Prince You Sen?"

"A ship from the Deep Sea Empire has arrived. Prince You Sen went to the shore."

Yu Zhizhi cradled a glass in both hands, slowly sipping fresh goat’s milk. "A ship... from the Deep Sea Empire?"

She suddenly realized something and looked up at Ai Xi in surprise. "Sui Sui is here!"

The Bee Clan female paused, stunned for a moment.

’Sui Sui?’

’That must be the youngling from the Mermaid Clan.’

Ai Xi had heard about this on the news. This was, after all, the child of an SS Level female and the Prince Merfolk—a child of immense nobility.

She smiled faintly. "Perhaps."

Yu Zhizhi couldn’t wait. She threw back the covers, got out of bed, and draped a thin, beige blanket over her shoulders, ready to head out.

’I can’t wait to see Sui Sui!’

During a previous video call with Yusen, Yu Zhizhi had asked Sensen to bring Sui Sui with him.

Yusen hadn’t agreed at first.

He didn’t want Sui Sui to intrude on their time alone together.

But after Yu Zhizhi’s persistent coaxing and pleading, he finally gave in.

This time, Yusen had arrived a day early.

Or rather, as the ship neared her territory, Yusen had sensed danger and traveled ahead on his own, which was why he had arrived a day early.

Now that the Deep Sea Empire’s ship had arrived, he had gone to the shore to meet the youngling.

In her slippers, Yu Zhizhi rushed toward the staircase. Just as she rounded the corner, she ran headlong into someone’s arms.

Yu Zhizhi immediately clapped her hands over her nose. With tears welling in her eyes, she looked up and saw the Mermaid Youth carrying a small whale, his expression slightly stunned as he looked back at her.

Yusen reached out and gently took her by the wrist.

After pulling her hands away, he saw the small female’s reddened nose.

A hint of fond exasperation appeared in his ice blue eyes. "...What’s the rush? Sui Sui is here."

Yu Zhizhi’s gaze shifted to the youth’s arms. He was cradling a small blue whale, which was currently staring with wide eyes, its tail wagging excitedly.
