Semua Bab The Merman, My Man: Bab 301 - Bab 310

Be that as it may, the gods seemed to have picked the right time to prank me—just as I thought that Asura didn’t notice what was going on with us, he suddenly turned towards us and looked directly at me and Dicken. His gaze seemed to stiffen for a moment before he clasped a webbed paw over his nose, as if afraid to breathe in something terrible, and even his tail twitched by reflex. In turn, Dicken threatened him with a strangling gesture, seemingly furious that Asura had peeked with poor timing.That was when rushed footsteps started to approach us and I turned towards it. Mary was approaching, still flanked by two soldiers, and soon arrived close to us and Asura. At that very moment, Mary seemed to be connected with Asura in mind and guessed that Asura was close by, and started looking around. She soon found Asura in the darkness, but in the instant their gazes met, Asura’s gaze changed drastically, while Mary remained exceedingly calm and basically didn’t react at all. Even so, I w

This was bad.Amid the confusion, Dicken and I had lost our way and ventured deeper into the island instead. And with soldiers in pursuit behind us, we couldn’t retreat and could only keep moving ahead.Meanwhile, the path beneath us had become even more inclined, to the point that we seemed to be climbing up a slope. The trees around us were getting sparser as well, and I looked forward to finding that it was a clearing without any vegetation, the bright moon piercing the darkness and shining directly upon us. Still, my heart cheered up in that instant, and I couldn’t help getting excited—we were on the edge of a cliff, and that must mean the sea was below. After being with Dicken for so long, I had zero fears of leaping off a cliff, especially when the sea awaited below. That was when Dicken’s movement slowly turned sluggish. Scaling a slope was clearly not easy for his tail, and I promptly leapt off him to drag the unconscious Bob aside. I had wanted to help Dicken get up the

“Asura!” Mary cried out in surprise as she grabbed Asura’s arm which was holding Bob, but Asura suddenly firmly pulled her into his arms, pulling Mary along and making a beeline to the cliff, ignoring her struggles. Nonetheless, I noticed that Bob had regained consciousness just then, and reacted immediately when he saw Asura and Mary’s tussle. Even before I could warn Mary, Bob had already lunged at them.“Watch out!” I yelled.“Father!” Mary also cried out in surprise when she saw Bob, but the man didn’t stop—there was a flash in his hand and in the next instant, he had thrusted something into Asura’s tail.Asura bellowed in pain immediately and swung his tail at Bob, but Bob dodged it with his quick reflexes, pulled his dagger out of Asura’s tail and aimed it at his head this time. I was sweating bullets from the sudden turn of events, but even as I thought that it was over for Asura, Mary lunged between the dagger and Bob, taking the blow for Asura.I could clearly see the dagg

“You lustful pervert!” I snapped in embarrassment, flushing to my ear right then.Even so, Dicken kept kissing and licking my chin while he growled a chuckle from the throat, as if he was forcing himself not to laugh. His webbed paw was brushing through my hair, while I boldly flirted back by biting his ear.In the end, we played around until we were utterly exhausted and I finally lay over his chest, wheezing. Dicken caressed my back and softly said, “Sleep, Linda. There’s something that needs to be done before we close the portal.”“What is it?” “An unexpected interloper. I didn’t think that he would be so resilient.” Dicken’s eyes narrowed dangerously. “He came here from the other dimension like you, and his presence may affect how things progress in this dimension.” I immediately understood. “Are you talking about… Gary?”“Yes. I saw a group of people bringing him into the lab when I returned to look for you. He knows secrets that greedy humans must never know, and if thos

What was going on? And where was Dicken?I stood on the reef and looked around for any trace of Dicken, even as the small encirclement around me slowly shrank, and the seabirds flew off.Then, there was a loud splash behind me as a wet webbed paw breached the surface and grabbed my leg. Startled, I slipped and started to fall backwards, only for a broad, wet chest to catch me.Then, still holding on to my waist with both arms, Dicken put me back on the reef.“Linda…”Dicken’s deep voice rang beside my ear, and he lifted my chin with a claw so that I looked up at him. With that beautiful face of his before me, I stared at it repeatedly to confirm that it was him, the panic from not being able to find him in my dream fading. It turned out that I didn’t lose him—he was right beside me, and everything just now was just a dream.“Where did you go? I thought you…” I gulped even as I calmed myself. “A storm like this strengthens me. I was just trying to create a new ability,” Dicken s
