Chapter 11: Only one partner in life

Fortunately, Jun Yue Lan listened to Jiang Li’s words, he sniffled and waddled over to her side, obediently sitting beside her. “Go on, I’ll listen to your explanation.” He said this, but in his heart he was thinking: You explain, if you can’t explain clearly, I won’t care about you, I don’t want to be a third wheel fish.

Although he had temporarily calmed Jun Yue Lan down, how to explain it was also a headache for Jiang Li. She couldn’t tell Jun Yue Lan that she wasn’t from this world, that she had transmigrated to this world and was bound to a system, and that she had randomly found a male to have a child for the sake of survival, right? If she told Jun Yue Lan this, would he think she was crazy?

Well… he definitely would! Seeing the expression on Jiang Li’s face constantly switching between hesitation and affirmation, and she didn’t explain for a long time, this made him even more suspicious. Was she thinking of words to hide the existence of that male? “Jun Yue Lan, I don’t have any other males by my side…” Faced with Jiang Li’s pale explanation, Jun Yue Lan naturally didn’t believe her. “If you don’t have any, why are you pregnant?”

“Would you believe me if I said it was for survival?” “For survival?” Jun Yue Lan didn’t understand, what did that have to do with being pregnant? “You know, our bird tribe’s fighting ability is not as good as yours, especially someone like me with low spiritual power, on land where the strong prey on the weak, danger can happen at any time, and this one in my belly is for the sake of survival.” Jun Yue Lan still didn’t understand Jiang Li’s words. His confused and puzzled gaze shifted from Jiang Li’s face, gradually downwards, landing on her protruding belly.

The little guy inside was still swimming around in her belly. Seeing that Jun Yue Lan still had a look of disbelief, Jiang Li continued to think of words to explain. But before she could think of anything, Jun Yue Lan suddenly spoke softly. “I have read in books that in order to reproduce, your land females will have many partners, I thought it was a lie, but it turns out to be true.” His eyes drooped slightly, his expression becoming melancholic. “

It’s true. Don’t you guys do that?” Jun Yue Lan’s expression became even more melancholic, his bright blue eyes dimmed like a flame that had been extinguished. “We merfolk only recognize one partner in our lifetime.” He swayed his fishtail and slowly got up, leaving behind a sentence, “I’ll go out for a while, it’s safe here, you rest well.” Then, he turned and left without looking back. Leaving Jiang Li alone on the scallop bed, puzzled, had she said something wrong?

 Jun Yue Lan sat on a nearby reef, holding a handful of colorful pebbles in his hand. He mumbled while throwing pebbles. “Stay, don’t stay? Stay, don’t stay?” Just as he was engrossed in his dilemma, a familiar voice came from behind. “Jun Yue Lan?” Jun Yue Lan stopped his actions and turned to look at the source of the voice. Behind him, a pregnant seahorse was floating.

“Xiao Jie?” Xiao Jie was surprised and delighted to see him, he quickly swam over and circled him several times. “Jun Yue Lan, it’s really you! How come you’ve become a male?” “Is it surprising that I’ve become a male?” Jun Yue Lan turned his head and continued to throw his pebbles.

Xiao Jie swam in front of him, using an extremely exaggerated expression, he gesticulated and said, “You merfolk don’t have a distinction between genders, you can only transform into a male or a female when you meet someone you like.

” Then, he looked Jun Yue Lan up and down, “Looking at you like this, you must have met someone you like, so you’ve become a male, right?” Faced with Xiao Jie’s question, Jun Yue Lan pursed his lips and remained silent, he didn’t want to answer this question.

 Xiao Jie also saw this, he continued, “Even if you don’t answer, I know. To be honest, I’ve been observing you for a long time, seeing you with that bitter and resentful look, you must have met someone you like. The hundred-year stone fish has bloomed! The merfolk cubs your age already have several, it’s finally happened in my lifetime that I’ve seen you develop a gender, come on, tell me, which female’s family did you take a fancy to?” Xiao Jie stared with big eyes, constantly chattering beside him. But Jun Yue Lan didn’t want to pay any attention to him, he continued to throw the pebbles in his hand. “Hey~ Don’t ignore me, did you encounter some setbacks?

 You can tell me too, although I’m not good at anything else, I still have some experience in love.” Hearing this, Jun Yue Lan’s dim eyes suddenly lit up a little, seeing his expression change, Xiao Jie was secretly delighted that he had hit the right spot. Jun Yue Lan slowly raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on Xiao Jie’s bulging belly. He stared for a long time.

 Xiao Jie followed his gaze downwards, seeing that he was constantly looking at his belly, he was very puzzled. “What’s wrong? Why are you constantly looking at my belly?” Strange, it’s not like he hasn’t seen me pregnant before. “Xiao Jie, if the female you like is pregnant with another male’s baby, what would you do?” “First of all, that’s impossible, you know that we seahorses are all male births…” Just as Xiao Jie was talking eloquently, he suddenly got the key word of the sentence.

“Jun Yue Lan, what did you just ask me?” He widened his eyes in horror, his voice unconsciously rising, “Don’t tell me you like a married woman!” This sharp voice startled the little fish fry resting behind the reef, they scurried around in fear. Jun Yue Lan was also startled by his sudden shout, he quickly reached out and covered his mouth.

“Shh! Keep your voice down!” He lowered his voice and reprimanded. He looked around, finding that there were no other fish, he was relieved. Xiao Jie also realized his mistake, he quickly nodded repeatedly. This allowed Jun Yue Lan to let go of his hand. “Actually, it’s not really a married woman… I like a female from the land… She told me she doesn’t have any males by her side…” “What?” Xiao Jie unconsciously raised his voice again.

 He suddenly realized, he quickly covered his mouth, and then quietly said to Jun Yue Lan, “Have you forgotten what the elder said? The land beasts are the most deceitful! Especially the females, she said she doesn’t have any males by her side, then how did she get pregnant?” “I asked her, she said it was for survival.” One sentence choked Xiao Jie speechless.

 Looking at Jun Yue Lan’s posture, he was completely brainwashed by the evil female! But living together in the sea, how could he not understand the merfolk? Once he sets his heart on someone, it’s for life, unless he dies, otherwise, he will never leave that person.

Xiao Jie sighed, knowing that he couldn’t persuade him, saying more bad things about the female would only crack their friendship, now he could only guide him slowly.
