Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Merman, My Man: Kabanata 81 - Kabanata 90

I held my breath, and my whole body stiffened as I let him hold my face with his webbed claw. The peculiar smell from Dicken began to spread in the air again. I now believed in the mysterious power of mermen. His enchantment was so real that it immobilized me. Of course, I was worried about my professor’s life. But at that point, the threat against Gary didn’t even concern me; I was too occupied trying to resist Dicken’s deadly allurement.I felt like he had enchanted me. He had a mysterious, wild and untamed nature. Everything about him had been bewitching me from the beginning. I was like a curious child entering his trap step by step without even realizing it. I thought I had captured him all this time, but it was the opposite. I couldn’t resist and fell deeper and deeper into his enticement every day. Even after being infringed on so many times by him, I was still addicted to the excitement he brought me. My heart pounded rapidly, and my breath quickened. I started to

Despite the first attack failing, the black shadow did not stop attacking. Instead, it aimed directly at Dicken’s face this time!For a moment, I was terrified to death. My voice got stuck in my throat, and I couldn’t even warn Dicken. Dicken clutched tightly onto the snake-like object with his webbed claws, and a loud fractured sound followed immediately. The bones of the creepy creature were crushed within a second. I could finally have a clearer view of the creature now. It was not a sea snake, and it didn’t have a brain either. Instead, the creature looked exactly like a pelican eel. Its mouth occupied most of its body size, and it had three layers of sharp teeth inside. The creature opened and shut its mouth weakly as it struggled. It was only an inch away from Dicken’s face a while ago. Dicken’s handsome face would have probably been badly disfigured if it had bitten him. My interest began to arouse as I looked at the strange, disgusting creature. I quickly flashed throu

’Right, don’t act without thinking. Calm down, Linda!’I silently advised myself. I took a deep breath and finally managed to calm myself down. “Bang!”Suddenly, the hull suffered another crash again and began to rock severely. I couldn’t stand firm on my feet at all. I rolled around as the hull rocked and then hit against the wall. I reacted immediately to the hit and held the wall to support myself and not fall. I looked out from the window and saw a giant shadow swim across the ship’s bottom, causing a huge wave to surge above the sea. The vast wave was still reflecting the green fluorescence from the creature. The thought of Dicken fighting against the monster made me chill. Where was Dicken?I got nervous immediately, searching for him on the roaring sea. Suddenly, an agile and fit shadow jumped out from the sea. The long fishtail was like a sharp blade shining with black light. The tail curved as he jumped and appeared as a perfect arc on the sea. He then jumped over

I saw a pair of familiar, narrow eyes in the turbid water that made me feel secure and relieved. The figure came to my side almost instantly. He quickly stretched his sharp webbed claws to the thing that had bitten my back. He was as fast as lightning. Everything happened too quickly. I could not see how he removed that thing from me. I felt a sudden looseness in my back, and then my body was firmly wrapped by his fishtail as he kept my body above the water. After a while, my vision turned black, and I felt my mind go blank even though I could breathe better now. I felt as if I was still under the sea, and I couldn’t hear at all.I probably hadn’t gotten used to the water pressure. It would be more life-threatening if I were to take a deep breath now. So I tried to breathe in little by little, allowing myself to float like a log, hoping I would catch my breath as soon as possible. My vision gradually returned as I regained consciousness, and I could see better. But what I saw was

‘F*ck!’ If it weren’t for someone covering my mouth, I would have cursed out loud. I struggled vehemently, but the mermaids severely restricted the movements of my body. The gears in my mind were spinning rapidly as a question occurred to me. ‘What if I was just naturally this unlucky? Maybe my body was unique in some way that is unnoticeable by humans. Maybe to merpeople, my scent, body shape, or some other particular trait piques their interest, so they identify me as a potential mate? Oh my gosh! Is there something wrong with me genetically? What is it about me that differs from other humans?’ However, I had no time to ponder further upon this question because this merman had started to grope me all over my body. He even leaned into my bare neck and started sniffing there too. I tried my best to lean away to prevent him from approaching my neck. And at that moment, a regrettable thought popped up in my mind. I was hoping that Dicken would come to save me. Although fallin
