Semua Bab The Merman, My Man: Bab 141 - Bab 150

Dicken lifted his head along with my movement, and in a split second, his leps were plastered onto mine. I held my breath and looked directly into his eyes. His deep blue eyes seemed to have a passionate fire burning within, while bloody vessels decorated the whites of his eyes. He was using every ounce of his consciousness to resist his primitive desire. I was stunned, but I was also relieved. Although Dicken was in a rut, he wasn’t acting the same way he did back in the research room. He could control himself now, and he could comprehend what I said. Dicken looked at the merpeople below the cave, then cushioned my neck to raise my head higher. His moist but warm lips brushed against mine as he said, “Then…you will…be…in danger.” ‘What does Dicken mean? What does he want me to prove?’ I pondered for a while before I realized what he meant. Dicken meant that he wanted to prove that I belonged to him to his clan. Otherwise, I would be involved in their fight to obtain me as thei

Perhaps it was due to Dicken’s seduction and the hormones he had emitted, but I felt like I had fallen in love with him. This ambiguous feeling disappeared when Dicken put me down onto a rock. I froze in shock when I looked at my hands. The space between my fingers had a translucent membrane connecting them as they glinted under the moonlight. It’s some type of webbed membrane! It wasn’t a hallucination this time, and I could tell that I wasn’t dreaming either. That was because a similar webbed claw was holding my hand, and his touch felt real. “Dicken…What did you do to me?” I withdrew my hand from Dicken and looked at my webbed claws dumbfoundedly as I asked him in shock. “Your first…changes…are coming.” Suddenly, my vision went black. Before I completely lost consciousness, I felt Dicken’s claw caressing my cheek and his deep eyes looking at me as he answered in a low voice. In my half-conscious state, I felt stinging and itchiness in my legs. It felt like I was being

The extreme panic made me hyperventilate, and I felt like I was about to suffocate. I took continuous deep breaths to force myself to calm down. Then, I rubbed my temples to make myself stay awake and not faint again. I had to accept the reality of things. I had grown gills like a mermaid behind my ears and could breathe freely in the water. I even had an illusion that my leg had become a tail and my hands had turned into webbed claws. My body had undergone changes after reacting to something from a biological standpoint. In other words, this could be considered a genetic mutation. Even though I wasn’t thinking straight, I could still recite my knowledge in genetics from my studies. Genetic mutations are the primary cause of changes to a being’s biological makeup. Many factors could lead to genetic mutations, and they could be classified into three categories. The first category is physical factors such as X-rays and lasers. The second category is chemical factors that could re

Right then, I felt a stinging pain in my ankle. I looked down and saw three leeches attached to it and were burrowing their teeth deeper into my skin. One of them had already burrowed deeper than the other two, causing the pain to intensify as if a drill was drilling a hole into me. I hated leeches, and I was tempted to jump up and flick them away, but my determination to stay hidden forced me to remain still. Even the smallest of sounds could alert Dicken of my whereabouts. Besides, I couldn’t get these three leeches off me from a mere flicking. Even if I jumped up and down, I wouldn’t have been able to remove them. My movements would only catch Dicken’s attention before being dragged back to his cave. So, I could only grit my teeth to withstand the pain. I remained still and observed Dicken, who was nearby. I could see him sniffing the air, but he didn’t look like he could identify my scent. His solid chest anxiously rose and fell as he couldn’t find me. Suddenly, he crouched l

I wanted to figure out what was happening to me, but the extreme adverse sensation in my body prevented me from thinking straight. When the wave of coldness hit, I couldn’t help but tremble and curl myself up tightly. And when the wave of heat came, I felt like my skin could emit steam, and my body felt like it was boiling. I tossed and turned around on the ground as my throat released a series of agonizing moans. ‘Good God! What is happening to me? Is this the beginning of the second change? Why is it that this is happening so soon after the first? No wonder Dicken was looking for me. What will I grow this time? A tail? Webbed claws?‘No! I can’t let something terrible like that happen again. I have to withstand the torment and get treated before the next changes come!’ I closed my eyes in anguish and dug my fingers into the soil as I tolerated the extreme sensations. Eventually, the alternating waves of hot and cold started to reduce in frequency. However, a different and stra
