The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 253 Mermaid Blood

He, who rarely dreams, is trapped in a long, taboo-ridden, suffocating, and damp dream with no way out.

My body was both cold and hot, as if I had been plunged into a hell of ice and fire.

My body was covered in sweat, it would get wet and dry, then get wet again.

Endless.

He seemed to be a figure from a dream, yet he didn't seem to be one.

I always feel that everything I do in my dreams is crazy and unfamiliar, deviating from my true nature and original intentions.

But that person was out of control, greedy, violent, and barbaric, and made insatiable demands.

Every scorching hot scale on its body proclaims a frenzy of passion and desire.

The person trapped in his arms had bloodstains all over their bare shoulders, wounds inflicted by his beast-like teeth.

The face was indistinct, but the silhouette felt strangely familiar.

Shi Ruoan began to feel afraid...

That was a wild beast.

not him.

Shi Ruoan suddenly opened his eyes, panting as he woke up from his dream. He lay blankly on his side on the ground and immediately saw a slender figure lying on the small bed with her back to him.

The familiar lines of her shoulders and neck, the delicate skin that is clearly visible even in the dark...

It was almost a one-to-one recreation of the figure from his dream.

His eyes burned, and he dared not look at that back anymore. He rolled over and lay on his back on the ground, pressing the back of his right hand against his reddened eyelids, while his left hand slowly reached under the animal skin blanket and touched the sticky sweat on his waist and abdomen.

Very dirty.

It also had a faint fishy smell.

The body's reaction has clearly disappeared.

But an emotion even more difficult for him to express than his physical reaction exploded in his heart.

In the end, he was just an ordinary person.

Shi Ruoan's heart sank, and she frowned with a hint of self-loathing.

However, before Ling Chengen woke up, he got up and quickly tidied himself up. Once he felt much better, his complexion improved slightly.

When Ling Chengen woke up, everything was still pitch black.

She sat up abruptly, her head bowed, her eyes unfocused, and asked in confusion, "Why can't I see anything? Could I really be blind?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Ruoan frowned slightly and immediately stood up, saying, "Yuheng, did the antidote pills you prepared also have no effect?"

Ling Chengen turned around, pinpointing his location with unerring accuracy, and frowned, saying, "So, what kind of poison did I get? Could it be that that stinky octopus Us is holding a grudge against me and secretly gave me some powerful poison?"

Shi Ruoan shook her head and said, "It shouldn't be. The toxins of the Ancient Giant Octopus Clan can be fatal even in a tiny amount."

“He’s using your life to blackmail me, so he won’t go too far.”

Having a weakness prevents one from acting recklessly.

Once Ling Chengen dies, Wu Si will have to consider whether he will fight the Ancient Giant Octopus Clan to the death, resulting in mutual destruction.

"You took the antidote he gave you while you were unconscious."

“But removing the residual poison takes time. Since you woke up, you’ve been engaged in high-intensity activities, so the residual poison has been moving rapidly through your body and affecting your eyes.” Shi Ruoan pressed her fingertips against her wrist. “You don’t need to worry too much. Even if Yuheng’s detoxification pills can’t clear these residual poisons, my blood can.”

Upon hearing this, Ling Chengen clicked his tongue in amazement and exclaimed, "You merfolk are truly a treasure trove!"

"You lied to me before, so giving me some blood isn't too much to ask, is it?"

Shi Ruoan shook her head and said, "Not now."

Ling Chengen's eyebrows immediately shot up, and he withdrew his left hand: "I knew you weren't a good person."

Shi Ruoan said, both amused and exasperated, "Although merfolk are immune to most poisons in the sea, and their blood is considered a kind of antidote, my body is currently in the reproductive stage, and my blood has a certain aphrodisiac effect..."

"Are you kidding me?! There's no such thing as a plot device like this." Ling Chengen couldn't help but complain. Shi Ruoan: "I'm not lying to you, it's true."

“Us should have told you that merfolk basically don’t have a fixed breeding season, so when a male merfolk wants to do that kind of thing, his blood will secrete something that can induce the female to enter the breeding season.”

After all, male merfolk may not necessarily seek out female merfolk as mates.

Other sea creatures and land-dwelling beastmen mostly have fixed breeding seasons.

Ling Chengen thought this was too far-fetched, but then she felt that in this doomed beast world, nothing seemed impossible. However, she really disliked the state of not being able to see anything, so she tentatively asked, "I'm still a minor. Drinking a little bit shouldn't have any effect, right?"

Shi Ruoan shook her head, then suddenly realized that she couldn't see, and said, "No, it will cause your reproductive period to come early."

Ling Chengen is not yet seventeen years old. If his reproductive period is prematurely induced, his body will stop growing and enter a mature state.

The reproductive period, to be precise, is a physical state.

The first time a child enters the reproductive period is a signal that the body is transitioning from a sub-adult to an adult.

Female beastmen on land generally have mates before they reach adulthood.

But this does not mean that the body is mature.

If a woman does not reach her first reproductive period, she will not get pregnant no matter how many times she has had sexual intercourse with her partner.

Ling Chengen has good physical fitness, and she still has more than a year before officially becoming an adult, so her body still has room to grow.

The stronger her physique, the greater the achievements she can attain in the future.

Therefore, we cannot force growth.

He couldn't let his selfish desires kill off her infinite possibilities for the future.

We need to give her enough room to grow.

This is what Shi Ruo'an told herself.

Perhaps because he had previously ejaculated in his sleep, Shi Ruoan was much more clear-headed now, and he was more composed and patient when facing her.

He made what he believed to be the right judgment, and firmly suppressed all those restless, wicked thoughts and depraved desires.

Shi Ruo tried her best to maintain her composure and carefully explained to her: "The reason why the sea people and the land beastmen have such a bad relationship, and even haven't had any contact with the beastmen for many years, is that the land beastmen used to lure and capture merfolk on a large scale, specifically to take their blood and scales."

"Mermaids are the overlords of the sea, but their strength is greatly reduced once they come ashore."

"As I told you before, merman blood can not only detoxify, but the blood of merman in their reproductive period can even induce the reproductive period of underage female beastmen earlier."

"For the orcs, who lived in harsh environments on land a thousand years ago and generally had short lifespans, this was a powerful tool to accelerate population growth."

"Therefore, for the next few hundred years, most sea creatures were reluctant to go ashore, and the merfolk, who suffered the most persecution, lived in seclusion in the deep sea and rarely even went to shallow waters."

"Even today, there are still many transactions involving merfolk blood in your land-based trade markets."

Ling Chengen had never heard of these things before and exclaimed in shock, "I've never heard of them before."

"It's normal not to have heard of it. Such a shameful history would make any sea creature feel indignant and embarrassed."

Shi Ruoan said with a wry smile, "The conflict between the sea people and the beastmen is very deep, especially with the beastmen of the Southern Beast Plains."

"That's why I rushed ashore to save Pan Xing after discovering that he had been lured and captured by Hai Bola and handed over to the nobles of the Southern Beast Plains."

"Although I brought him out of Huangyan Beast City, Panxing spent several months there and experienced some truly horrific things. These experiences will haunt him for the rest of his life..."

In the eyes of the nobles of Nanyuan, the merman... was just a powerful fish, prey that could be treated at will.

After learning the truth, Shi Ruoan was unwilling to remain a bystander, nor did she want to have any communication with Hai Bola or even publicly oppose her succession on behalf of the Sea Sacrifice Temple. This was because Hai Bola and Mei Ji had actually colluded with the nobles of the Southern Beast Plains.

Having witnessed Shi Panxing's miserable state, Ling Chengen was at a loss for words.

Looking back now, the many strange injuries on Shi Panxing's body at that time were probably wounds left from blood collection.

Moreover, there were practically no scales left on his fish tail; they must have all been plucked off while he was still alive.

Because the scales on a mermaid's tail are more beautiful than many natural gemstones.

Although Ling Chengen occasionally sheds fur, if anyone dares to pluck a tuft of fur from her in her beast form, she will absolutely kill them without hesitation for even a second.

So, she felt sorry for Shi Panxing for a couple of seconds, but her attention was quickly diverted.
