[The scientists discovered through studying the age of merfolk scales that the average lifespan of merfolk is 200 years. However, merman No.1 is already 220 years old, possibly entering natural death tomorrow.]
*Since we know he’s male, I’ll use “merman”.
With an average lifespan of 200 years, living up to 220, it turns out to be an elderly fish.
Xia Chi: [They also mentioned that merman No.1 looks very beautiful. If it dies, they will dissect it and display it in the laboratory as a specimen. Sigh, listening to this, I feel these merfolk are pitiful. While alive, they are kept as experimental subjects in a small space by researchers. Even after death, they are not spared; they are turned into specimens. They really squeeze every inch of value out of merfolk.]
Bai Lixin: [Continue listening and see what else you can find out.]
Xia Chi: [Okay, Brother.]
Bai Lixin turned to look at the still-rippling water surface. After hearing Xia Chi’s words, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for this merman.
Xia Chi: [Brother!]
Bai Lixin: [What’s wrong?]
Xia Chi: [Just now, a scientist proposed paralyzing merman No.1 and collecting sperm physically. However, it seems this merman has developed resistance to anesthetics, making it impossible to anesthetize. So, he suggested using electric shocks to stun merman No.1.]
Xia Chi: [From what I gathered, they seem determined to collect sperm this time, and no matter what method they use, they intend to create offspring from merman No.1.]
[Just now, they not only discussed experiments but also mentioned that, through this sperm collection attempt, they aim to prepare for future artificial breeding. They plan to cultivate gentle and docile merfolk for sale. Although artificial reproduction hasn’t been successful yet, and gentle merfolk haven’t appeared, there are already many people investing money and placing orders around the lab. So, no matter what, they are determined to proceed with this.]
[Fuck, the voting has started. If more than half agree, they will start the electric shocks.]
[Brother, more than half have raised their hands.]
Bai Lixin sighed softly.
In the face of immense profits, humans can indeed do anything. It’s just a pity for this No. 1 merman. He could only wish it good luck.
Bai Lixin turned to look at the pool, and suddenly, he abruptly stopped. His pupils widened.
On the originally calm water surface, a figure appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.
The whole body was wet, with soft golden hair hanging on both sides. The facial features were deep and handsome, and a tight jawline outlined an attractive curve.
He didn’t know when the merman emerged from the water. He was now leaning against the wall with his back, looking at him with an indifferent face.
Bai Lixin: ?!?!
‘Sperm extraction? Trying to take what belongs to Laozi?’
Xia Chi: [More than half have agreed.]
Xia Chi: [Brother, their intention is to wait for two more days to see if there’s a better way. Otherwise, they will resort to electric shocks on merman No.1.]
Bai Lixin looked at the merman in the pool with complex eyes.
Bai Lixin: [I have a way that doesn’t require electric shocks.]
Xia Chi: [? What way?]
Bai Lixin: [You’ll know in a moment.]
After saying this, Bai Lixin directly unzipped the protective suit.
The merman in the water looked at him with a hint of confusion and wariness.
Bai Lixin quickly took off the suit, and stood in the open space like an ugly duckling with his drab clothes.
The clothes weren’t much, but the person in them had striking features. With that face, even the drab clothes seemed unattainable.
The overhead speaker suddenly sounded an alarm.
“Warning, warning! All personnel, please wear protective suits immediately! Warning, warning! All personnel, please wear protective suits immediately!”
The somewhat harsh sound startled the merman in the water. He raised his head to look at the ceiling, and his blue tail fin emerged from the water, and slapped the water surface a few times impatiently.
Bai Lixin ignored the overhead alarm and walked towards the pool with determined steps. He didn’t stop until he reached the edge of the pool.
The alarm sounded again.
“Warning, warning! All personnel, immediately leave Laboratory No. 1! Failure to comply will result in the use of force!”
“Warning, warning! All personnel, immediately leave Laboratory No. 1! Failure to comply will result in the use of force!”
Bai Lixin remained indifferent. He just held the pool wall with both hands, his gaze fixed on the merman across from him.
The merman first scrutinized him, seemingly assessing his threat level. After a moment, he slowly submerged his head in the water, and completely disappeared from the water’s surface.
Bai Lixin looked down at the water and saw a muscular merman’s figure slowly approaching in the clear water.
Due to the ripples and refraction on the water, he couldn’t clearly see the figure.
Soon, the merman arrived on his side. However, he only sank to the bottom of the water, seemingly without any intention of coming out.
Time passed second by second, the constant blare of the alarm overhead.
Outside the laboratory, urgent footsteps were heard.
As he listened to the footsteps getting closer, a hand suddenly reached out from the water, tightly gripping Bai Lixin’s wrist as if trying to pull him down.
But how could Bai Lixin let that happen?
Bai Lixin was prepared. With a strong pull, he dragged the unsuspecting merman out of the water.
As the merman emerged, a surprised expression lingered on his face.
Bai Lixin guessed the other probably hadn’t encountered someone as strong as him before.
But soon, the merman would discover there were many things he hadn’t seen before.
Bai Lixin smiled slightly at the astonished merman, quickly stretched out his arm and reached directly to the back of the merman’s head.
Five fingers were inserted into the damp, soft hair, then the young man’s body leaned forward while exerting a slight force.
In the next moment, the two were face to face.
The footsteps finally reached the door, and with a “bang,” the door swung open.
…
Just now, scientists were in a meeting in the conference room.
While discussing how to obtain the genes of merman No.1, they suddenly received an alert from logistics.
It was reported that the janitor in Lab 1 had suddenly removed his protective gear and approached the pool.
At that moment, all the scientists instantly forgot about the meeting, standing up and rushing over.
They didn’t know whether they cared more about the life of that human or the well-being of the merman.
But… if they secretly examined their hearts, they didn’t really care about the human; they were only worried about something happening to the merman.
When they arrived, the logistics security personnel also happened to arrive.
The laboratory door opened, and they saw the scene inside, everyone was dumbfounded.
By the side of the light blue pool, the merman, who had always been indifferent towards them, was engaged in a kiss with the human… and it seemed to be a passionate one?
And even a French kiss?
?!!
The entwined kiss between the human and the merman continued, unaffected by the intense noise of the forcibly opened door.
The merman widened hus eyes, one hand tightly gripping the young man’s arm, looking at him intently.
The young man placed one hand on the back of the merman’s head, and the contracting fingers seemed to mimic a certain action.
Someone in the crowd whistled.
People stood dumbfounded at the doorway, momentarily unsure of what to do.
The head of security looked at Dr. Olay, “Doctor, should we go in?”
Dr. Olay observed the scene inside with interest, “Wait a bit more, let’s see what happens!”
Bai Lixin looked at the doorway from the corner of his eye, and felt a sudden tremor in his heart.
The reason he kissed his lover was to prove to those people that the merman is capable of interaction and affection, they didn’t have to just rely on that one method.
With cameras overhead, he just wanted the cameras to capture it. He never expected that taking off the protective suit and walking to the edge of the pool would alarm so many people.
The corner of his eye fell on someone in the crowd.
Xia Chi was watching excitedly, with a complete expression of someone eating melons.
Bai Lixin: “…”
Let this farce end quickly!
His throat rolled, and he took his hand off the merman’s head, starting to pull back.
Just when his lips were five centimeters away from the other party, a powerful hand suddenly reached out from the water’s surface, pressing on the back of his head, forcefully pulling him closer.
Lips met again.
An uproar immediately broke out among the people watching the show from the doorway.
Wow, live broadcast, exciting.
So thrilling.
Bai Lixin’s heart trembled suddenly.
Due to the other party’s constant presence in the water and the merfolk’s special physique, his lips carried a slightly cool moisture, an ice-cold and comfortable sensation.
It’s hard to imagine that the other party was actually a novice. When they first kissed, he didn’t even know how to open his mouth. Now, he actively pried apart his lips.
With the male hormones instantly filling every corner of the mouth, the merman clung to Bai Lixin tightly, not letting the other person leave at all.
It’s unclear how long this kiss lasted. It wasn’t until Bai Lixin felt a bit dizzy due to lack of oxygen that the merman reluctantly let go of him.
By now, Bai Lixin’s lips were swollen and his cheeks were tinged with a faint peach color. The star-like eyes were misty, and the corners of the eyes were still dripping with a pink luster.
Like a ripe peach.
Although the merman let go of Bai Lixin’s lips, he didn’t release him. He still held Bai Lixin’s arm, cheek pressed against Bai Lixin’s face, affectionately rubbing against Bai Lixin’s cheek.
The blue tail behind him slapped the water’s surface rhythmically, as if trying to convey something to Bai Lixin. However, he didn’t know how to express it and could only impatiently slap the water.
After being intimate for a while, the merman carefully cupped Bai Lixin’s cheek with sharp-nailed hands. “Yiya!”
There was a rustling and noisy chatter among the scientists standing at the door.
“This gesture!”
“This is a sign of affection, a gesture of courtship!”
“Help, no wonder No. 1 merman didn’t mate with the mermaids. After all, it’s still a homosexual fish?”
“Yeah, shocking. Not to mention 50 mermaids, even a thousand wouldn’t work.”
“After so long, it’s the first time I’ve heard No. 1 merman make such a sound. Isn’t it kind of cute?”
Xia Chi: “…”
‘Uh, kind of cute… Do you guys know what you’re talking about?
Are you trying to get yourselves killed?
Are you insane?! Daring to speak this way about my brother-in-law, you stupid NPCs, do you know whom you’ve offended?!
You’ve offended two demons!
But, Brother, Brother-in-law, continue well.
Is this the legendary mermaid mating?
So strange, let’s take another look.
Just one more look.’

In the live broadcast room
[Hahaha, amazing, so thrilling, too exciting.]
[Ah ah ah, as expected, merfolk are the coolest! They even skip the step of taking off clothes.]
[God Xin is online, flirting with merfolk.]
[So enticing, wuuuu, I love it.]
[The big boss’s cry is so cute, wuuuu, continue on with the task. This wild contrast is just too charming.]
[Yiya! Yiya~ So the big boss can’t speak in this copy?]
[Ahem ahem, actually, I think it’s fine that the big boss can’t speak. At least we won’t hear the greasy remarks the big boss usually makes.]
[Big boss: ??? Are you polite?]
[I really want to see God Xin raising mer-babies, I don’t know if there’s a chance.]
[The mission is only seven days, so the time isn’t enough, right? If it were a year, maybe there would be little fish cubs.]
[Hehehe.]
——————————–
Just as everyone was watching this love story of the century, the merman exclaimed “Yiya”, and suddenly dragged Bai Lixin into the water with a strong force.
Everyone: “???”
Sincerely hilarious chapter, thank you
