Chapter 8 I saved you without even saying thank you

Jiang Li found herself back in the modern world, free from the torment of illness. Overjoyed, she quickly booked a flight to the beach, experiencing the surfing she had always wanted to try, and even indulging in a seafood feast with her friends. Looking at the grilled fish in the center of the dinner table, Jiang Li’s mouth watered with hunger. Her stomach rumbled, she couldn’t resist any longer, she grabbed a whole grilled fish and stuffed it into her mouth.

“Ah! It hurts, it hurts!” A painful wail pierced her eardrums, startling her awake from her sleep. “Where am I?” Jiang Li looked around. She found herself lying in a giant scallop. There were seaweeds and corals all around, and even a few little fish fry were swimming around her, constantly blowing bubbles.

“It hurts, it hurts.” A series of wails caught her attention, she turned her head and saw a man with blue hair holding his blue fishtail and constantly blowing on it. The man had fair skin, deep features, and an exotic charm. “You female! I saved you out of kindness, and you actually bite my tail!” The man bared his small fangs in anger, howling at her, much like the husky she kept at home that would bark and fluff up its fur when its tail was stepped on.

‘Pfft’ Jiang Li couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed that she had mistaken his fishtail for grilled fish. The merman thought she was laughing at him, he blinked his deep blue eyes and started to cry. “You’re actually laughing at me, I went to great lengths to drag you back, not only do you not thank me, you also bite my tail…” Tears gathered in the merman’s eyes, slowly flowing down, turning into beautiful pearls. Jiang Li looked at the pearls falling to the ground, her eyes widened in excitement, she quickly reached out to catch them. These were all money!

The merman thought at first that she was approaching him to comfort him, but seeing her holding his falling tears with both hands, the merman felt even more awkward. “The elder was right, the land beasts are all very cruel and bloodthirsty, they have no compassion.” He lowered his head and stroked his dazzling fishtail as if in pity. Hearing this, Jiang Li stopped looking at the pearls, she was slightly startled and looked up at the merman in disbelief.

“Didn’t you say it the other way around, isn’t that what you merfolk are like?” The merman was also surprised, then he clenched his small fist and began to roar. “Who said that, we merfolk are the most compassionate! Unlike you! You don’t even thank me for saving you!” Jiang Li, “…” He was complaining that she didn’t thank him for saving her life! Jiang Li remembered the conversation she heard while she was in a daze. “Did you save me from them?” The merman shook his head, “No, they were gone when I got there, you were about to drown, luckily I saved you in time!” He proudly puffed out his chest, narcissistically shook his seaweed-like long hair, his eyes revealed a desire for Jiang Li to praise him. Realizing this, Jiang Li was of course not stingy with her praise.

“Yes, you are the bravest and most kind-hearted beast I have ever seen, you were able to save me from danger without hesitation, your heroic spirit is truly admirable…” A barrage of compliments came out, praising the merman until he laughed out loud. Jiang Li looked at him, couldn’t help but shake her head and laugh. He may look like an adult, but his heart is still like a child’s. Looking at the seahorses and little fish swimming around in front of her, Jiang Li suddenly realized something. “Hey, is this the bottom of the sea?” “First of all, I’m not called hey, I’m called Jun Yue Lan. Secondly, if this isn’t the bottom of the sea, where else could it be?

We merfolk can only live at the bottom of the sea, if we live on land, we will be immediately sun-dried.” His exaggerated tone gave Jiang Li a familiar sense of shock. “But… since this is the bottom of the sea, why am I here? I’m not a merfolk.” “Well, that’s thanks to my merman pearl?” “Merman pearl?” “Yes, I saw you were about to die, so I gave you my merman pearl, that’s why you have the ability to survive at the bottom of the sea.

” The merman pearl was like the spirit pearl of land beasts, it was a very important treasure for beastmen, all the spiritual power they gained relied on the spirit pearl. How could this silly merman just give his merman pearl to me? Seeing Jiang Li’s stunned and bewildered expression, Jun Yue Lan also felt like teasing her. “Could it be that you don’t believe me?

” His fishtail slapped gently, gently swimming towards her, getting closer and closer, so close that his face was pressed against hers. This intimate gesture made Jiang Li’s face flush red, her heart also thumped wildly. Although she had just transmigrated and borrowed a beastman’s body to become pregnant, it was a last resort to save her own life!

This was the first time she had been so close to a member of the opposite sex in all these years, especially since this member of the opposite sex was a… fish? Seeing Jiang Li’s face turn red, resembling the red gem in Jun Yue Lan’s treasure cave, he couldn’t resist the itch in his heart, the more he looked at her, the more he wanted to tease her. “Since you forgot, do you want me to help you remember?” He curled his lips mischievously, his deep blue eyes were like a whirlpool in the deep sea, making Jiang Li sink deeply into them and unable to struggle.

 She suddenly remembered a sentence she had read in a book, merfolk are beautiful, they use their beauty and singing to deceive people, and then take their lives. The book was right, Jun Yue Lan’s appearance was indeed top-notch, just one look could make people fall deeply into it, unable to extricate themselves. Perhaps after she transmigrated here and became a beastman, her willpower also improved, she wasn’t affected much by Jun Yue Lan’s teasing, if it were before, she would definitely be the fish that took the bait.

Seeing his pouted lips getting closer and closer to her, Jiang Li was startled, she pushed him away forcefully, which also made her remember the scene she saw before she completely passed out. Jun Yue Lan swam towards her, his bony hand gently patted her cheek, seeing that she was about to drown, he leaned down, his cold lips gently pressed against hers, a strange thing slipped into her mouth, slid down her throat and slowly entered her body. In an instant, her body began to burn up.

The fish that came with him surrounded them in the center, like an underwater performance, it was very grand. But Jiang Li just glanced at the spectacle, then completely fainted, when she woke up, she was here. She remembered, it was true as Jun Yue Lan said, he gave her his spirit pearl, saving her life.

Just when Jiang Li wanted to thank him properly, unexpectedly, Jun Yue Lan, this little arrogant guy, suddenly started to roll around and act spoiled. “You have such a cruel heart! You actually pushed me! And you pushed so hard! I’m not happy!”
