Wanwan pushed and shoved, trying to avoid his approaching cheek, but her chin was clamped. His hand slid down dishonestly. Wanwan trembled, and tears welled up involuntarily.
In the past, whenever she cried, he would gently wipe away her tears and make some concessions to a certain extent. But now...
Wanwan watched as he took out a small vermilion wooden box from somewhere. She asked timidly, "What's this?"
Sheng Jiu lowered his eyes and said softly, "The Sea-Swallowing Pill."
"This thing was specially made for you. You should know where it's used, right?"
Wanwan blinked her innocent eyes and didn't react for a moment. Sheng Jiu laughed self - deprecatingly. "I even forgot that you know nothing. But it's easy to guess. Where else can this thing be used but in bed?"
Wanwan had never known how such things were done between men. Sheng Jiu picked out a pill - sized object and placed it on her body. His index finger rolled the pill over her body. Wherever he touched, a strange tingling sensation arose.
She didn't know if it was because of the pill or something else... The long part of her body was as hot as if it had been seared by a fire tong.
Sheng Jiu rubbed the pill in his palm for a couple of times, and it turned into a soft paste. Wanwan thought something was wrong when she saw him continue to move it downward.
She reached out and grabbed his wrist, stopping his action.
"Where on earth are you going to use this thing?"
Sheng Jiu flipped his wrist and deftly dodged her restraint. He curled his lips into a smile. "Naturally, it's a good place."
His smile didn't reach his eyes. There seemed to be nothing but intense desire in them.
Wanwan struggled to escape from under him, but she was grabbed, and her arms were firmly fixed. When the thing entered her body, Wanwan's mind hadn't reacted yet.
The pain brought her back to her senses. She began to resist frantically, but after just a short while, her body gradually went limp. Wanwan grabbed his finger tightly and gasped, "Sheng Jiu, aren't you going to leave any way out for the two of us?"
Sheng Jiu's body stiffened for a moment, then he laughed. "You still have the strength to talk. It seems the effect of the medicine isn't strong enough."
Sheng Jiu pressed on her waist. His voice was hoarse and low. "I've read ancient books. The mermaid clan can get pregnant and give birth. Wanwan, have a baby for me."
Wanwan was so weak that she could hardly lift her eyelids. His words echoed in her ears.
"Wanwan, have a baby for me..."
Have a baby...
Wanwan slowly closed her eyes and silently endured the force from behind. His movements were not gentle. There was a hint of venting in them, making their first intimate encounter lack any tenderness.
Wanwan's tears soaked the mattress. Her mind kept recalling the sea area again and again. If she had known the outside world was like this, why would she have bothered to come out of the sea area?
Her consciousness returned to the time when she first left the sea area.
At that time, she didn't understand the treachery of human hearts. After leaving her hometown, she generously showed herself to humans. After they were sure she wouldn't hurt anyone...
They actually wanted to arrest her with a fishing net. The idea of getting rich overnight grew wantonly in each of their minds. She was trapped. Just then, Sheng Jue's patrolling ship passed by and saw her.
Wanwan's body swayed. In a half - dream and half - awake state, her clear thoughts were in the minority. She murmured to herself.
"Sheng Jue..."
She didn't know if it was her imagination, but the pain behind her seemed to ease a little. She opened her eyes hazily, only to be met with more violent movements.
She didn't know how long this lasted. When Wanwan opened her eyes again, it was already broad daylight. Through the layers of red curtains, she looked at the hazy scenery outside. She wanted to get up, but the pain from behind stopped her.
She lowered her eyes and saw an arm still on her waist. Wanwan was silent for a while. She turned her eyes and saw the person beside her. He was still sleeping, breathing evenly.
Wanwan seemed to haven't seen his gentle face for a long time. After they got involved, he always seemed to be in a fit of rage.
Wanwan turned around. Sheng Jiu might have sensed the movement. He opened his eyes suddenly and looked at her. Sheng Jiu squinted slightly, then mercilessly took his arm away from her.
Wanwan was stunned for a moment. The person beside her was bare - chested. He picked her up and put her into the pool. Wanwan almost forgot that she would turn back into a mermaid tail during the day.
Wanwan looked at his eyebrows, not quite understanding why he was still unhappy after what they had done last night...
Sheng Jiu squatted down and grabbed her wrist. He casually grabbed a floating red gauze curtain and wrapped it around her wrist.
Wanwan's two arms were hanging up. She stared blankly at Sheng Jiu. "What are you doing?! Are you crazy! Are you going to tie me up here?!"
Sheng Jiu stood up neatly. "Now that you have legs at night and can walk, you could come to me last night, and you could also go to the prison to find him."
Wanwan glared at him. "You!"
Sheng Jiu sneered. "I don't want you to go to the prison and tell him that when you were sleeping in my bed, you were still thinking about him in your heart and calling his name. Wanwan, I've given you all my patience in this life. It doesn't matter if you don't take my sincerity seriously and just throw it around. I always thought as long as you became my concubine, it would be fine. But last night, you were still thinking about him when we were being intimate. I also want to be good to you, but I'm powerless. Wanwan, give me some face. I'm at least an emperor."
After saying that, he turned his back to her and began to get dressed.
Wanwan watched his stiff movements with pursed lips. She didn't remember anything about what happened last night, but she did call Sheng Jue's name...
Wanwan was just about to explain it to him when Sheng Jiu finished dressing and turned around. He looked at her coldly. He slowly blinked his eyes. "Just stay here. I won't let anyone in except Ming Lang. Wanwan, even if you're thinking about someone else in your heart, I won't let you leave me."
Wanwan tugged at the red gauze wrapped around her arms, but it was of no use.
She could only watch his receding back disappear from her sight.
Wanwan sighed. Maybe this time... he was really heart - broken.
