“Linda, please call me Professor Bob. I’m delighted to meet you again, my Japanese friend.” Bob’s unsteady eyes stared at me as if wanting to convey a bit of happiness. But instead, his eyes looked like they were twitching, making his face look even more strange.

I suddenly felt a rush of anger from being lied to. So, I tightened my fist and questioned him. “Didn’t you die? I saw you on the hospital bed with my own eyes. Your heart stopped beating, and I even saw you being put into a coffin! How are you here now? What more with this group of people?!”

As I said this, I remembered that stormy afternoon. I had accompanied the weak Bob and listened to him speak with his dying breath about his desired merpeople. He then looked out the window towards the rolling sea in the storm before letting out his final breath. His closest friends and I held a vigil for him and went to his funeral together…

That was why seeing all of this was so strange to me!

“Linda, don’t be so brash. What you’re

  • The Merman, My Man   Chapter 336: Grand Finale: This is Our World

    Before I realized what Dicken was going to do, he breathed an exceedingly high-pitched cry as sonorous as thunder. The entire cave shook in its wake as he grasped my hips with both his webbed paws, lifting me high into the air. A school of sea fishes suddenly swam out of nowhere in an instant, their bodies shining as they encircled us like birds. At the same time, the merfolk started dancing in excitement, kicking up splashes as they pivoted gracefully, the scales of their tails reflecting radiance amid the darkness just like stars in the night sky, the robust, burly mermen and the beautiful, devilish mermaids interweaving to form a bright river of stars.I stared at the stunned sight, mesmerized, spreading my arms by reflex as if infected. I wanted to embrace my dear leader who had surprised me endlessly, expectant of the new world he would take me to.That was when I heard a quiet voice beneath me. “Linda…”I looked down into his wide, narrow gaze that seemed to embody that rive

  • The Merman, My Man   Chapter 335: I Promise You

    In the previous dimension where I lived, I had already been prepared to live away from the humans with Dicken. I had nothing aside from him, who was always by my side—our connection seemed so unbreakable just then that I believed that to be my fate.However, I still wouldn’t hope that he would keep killing because of me. Looking into his eyes, I pleaded once again, “Could you promise me to spare Baron? Right now, he’s of no threat to you or merfolk. As long as we return to the domain of your race, humans would have nothing to covet—can’t we stay away from those conspiracies? I’ll always be yours, dear leader.”Dicken looked deeply into my eyes as if he was considering my proposal, and remained quiet for a long time before he eventually gathered me in his arms. “I promise, Linda.”“Hey, shouldn’t we be going out now, and don’t you have an announcement to make? Your people are waiting for you.” I exhaled lengthily and patted his back just then.At those words, I suddenly realized t

    That being said, it was no different from me letting myself be taken, because my stubbornness and determination only ever made Dicken want to conquer me even more. We had never been equals, be it fifty years ago or now.One might even say that he wanted me more after losing me once. His desire for me was so strong that he would kill Baron, even though he had granted me rebirth as agreed. After all, he wanted to be my one and only, and no merfolk were allowed to share a single iota of my sentiment. Fuck!I bit my lip, tearing it and tasting blood in my mouth just then, but I couldn’t feel the pain at all.He had suddenly let go of my ankles and gathered in his arms once more, and did so gently. His broad webbed paws caressed my back as if to reassure me, and he did not try to take me anymore.That surprised me, and I opened my eyes and saw that he was staring into my eyes. Then, his eyebrows lowered, he licked the blood on my lips lovingly, seemingly not as furious or agitated as

  • The Merman, My Man   Chapter 333: Being Ruled By Him

    In fact, I was more willing to believe that Dicken was exaggerating, since my grandfather had never been out of line as far as I could recall. However, even as I assured myself, I was searching my memory in fear that my grandfather meant me harm—fortunately, I came up with nothing, since all I remembered about him was of him being a kind elder who had taught me to read and played with my younger self. There was no question that he had acted like an elder, and even if Dicken wants to take his place in my heart, it would be in a completely different role, since there would always be a part that he couldn’t replace.“Stop thinking about him now, Linda. He’s merely carrying out a mission I had assigned him, and the reason he didn’t lay a finger on you was because I had restrained him.”Dicken appeared to become angrier as he observed my expression, and his was unusually deep as if he would get furious soon. It left me uncomfortable—Dicken appeared reluctant for another merfolk to stay in

  • The Merman, My Man   Chapter 332: Isn’t That Incest?

    I suddenly felt a slippery sensation from my waist, and found the mischievous stingray curling into a ball as it hid behind me, seemingly startled by Dicken’s lecherous tongue.“See? You scared it, pervert.” I leaned in, resting the bridge of my nose against his head as I chuckled softly. On the other hand, Dicken pinched the tender flesh on my hip and stroked my back a few times as he watched me lovingly. “I really want to hide you away, Linda…”“Where would you hide me?” I buried my head in his head and sniffed—it was hard to restrain myself with that intoxicating champagne-like scent of his, but I promptly came to my senses as I remembered that fugitive. “Hold on, don’t seduce me or try to divert my attention with sweet words. What’s with that merman who’s saying that he’s going to look for your Yiki?”Dicken patted my head feebly and stayed silent for a while, but eventually admitted, “It’s Baron.”I froze, immediately remembering the furious glare of that merman who had hidd

    “Why would you clothe me out of the blue…” I inhaled deeply, and as I pulled away from his kiss after much difficulty, I asked in confusion, “Are you taking me somewhere?”Dicken looked deeply into my eyes as if something astonishing would soon occur. “Yes… I’m going to announce to my subjects that you’re my mate…”With those words, he threw me over his back and swam out of the cavern filled with stone pillars.Gosh, I was flabbergasted. Still, I soon realized that this was pretty much how it should go, since Dicken had yet to announce about us to his subjects in this dimension. However, I felt a little headache when I remembered how the announcement in the last dimension had gone… He was not going to mate with me in front of everyone again, was he?“Your Majesty…”A high-pitched call suddenly rang from ahead, followed by splashes as a purple figure swam towards us. I was stunned when a face floated out of the water—that purple hair, along with those facial features that were sh
