All Chapters of When A Deadbeat Meets A Merman Villain: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I knew Theo Atwater was the villain of this world, and I was the wife his grandfather arranged for him before he died. The original mission I was supposed to fulfill upon transmigrating here was to save him, but I slacked. Not only did I fail to save him, but I also squandered his money and occupied his bed.The system was completely at a loss when it saw that the corruption level remained motionless. The last time it appeared, it had coldly said, "I'll come to pick you up when the villain dies."I waited for more than half a year.Today was a good day, suitable for a burial.When Theo got his heart broken by the female lead, Melody Carlisle, and climbed up to the rooftop alone, I had already fully donned the jewelry in the safe, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the system.However, when the system appeared, it remarked, "Elle, why are you wearing the villain's tears on your body?""What?" I lowered my head in astonishment and looked at the priceless pearl necklace around my neck.

Theo paused momentarily before raising his head, his deep eyes filled with disbelief. "The color of the pearl depends on the merfolk's mood."I touched my belly and said slowly, "I don't care. If you don't cry, I'll release your baby into the sea."His expression changed abruptly.Three minutes later, I stared in astonishment at the notorious villain who was feared outside. His eyes were red as pearls dropped with a pattering sound. The pale pink pearls rolled around on the plate, sounding particularly pleasant.The system suddenly made a ding.[The villain's corruption level has dropped to 85%.]I happily picked up a pearl. This task was simple. If this continued, I was afraid I would make Theo a sweet and naive merman who only cried pearls.However, just when I thought I was sure to succeed, Melody came. She was dressed in a plain white dress and stood at the villa entrance with red eyes, looking pitiful. "Theo, please save my father... He's been caught. Only you can find him.

I stayed in the hospital for three days and finally discovered a shocking secret. The doctor who did my ultrasound examination turned out to be a clownfish merman from the bottom of the sea!I secretly observed him for a long time. When he bent down to record the data, I asked in a low voice, "Can you cry out pearls?"The doctor's hand trembled. His pen nearly dropped to the ground as he awkwardly pushed his glasses. "Mrs. Atwater, not all merfolk can produce pearls..."I sighed in disappointment and turned my head to look at Theo, who was sitting beside me, peeling apples. I asked quietly, “So, you're a rare variety?"The fruit knife in Theo's hand paused as he expressionlessly handed me an apple." Eat."I pursed my lips. As expected, merfolk who could cry pearls were all treasures.Meanwhile, Melody had called no less than ten times. The first time the phone rang, Theo was peeling grapes for me. The screen lit up, and he glanced at it, his fingers slightly stiffening.I narrow

The system commented, "Elle, you're really gutsy..."I reached out with a grin and gently stroked Theo’s fishtail. It was cool and smooth. The scales felt like fine silk, yet they had a unique luster.Theo jolted suddenly as he groaned softly.I was puzzled. When I touched it again, his breathing instantly became disordered, and his eyelashes quivered violently as his gaze turned hazy.I was confused.The system suddenly let out a lecherous laugh. "Elle, the tails of merfolk are sensitive. That is to say, you've turned him on."I was shocked.Theo grabbed my wrist in one go, his voice hoarse beyond words. "Stop touching."I blinked and asked innocently, “Why? Are you not feeling well?"He took a deep breath and suddenly pulled me into the bathtub. Water splashed everywhere. I fell into his arms, and my soaking wet pajamas clung to my body.Theo's fishtail wrapped around my leg. The scales gently rubbed against my skin, making me shiver. His lips pressed to my ear as he said h

I sighed and reached out to smooth Theo’s frown. "If you want to go, go ahead."Melody was a hostage. I could not ignore her life.Theo pulled me into his arms with such force that I could hardly breathe. He buried his face in my neck and explained in a muffled voice, "When I was a child, I was so playful that I got stranded on a reef once."Theo's fingers unconsciously caressed my waist. "I couldn't transform into my legs yet and almost got discovered by humans... It was Melody who saved me."My heart gave a jolt, and I finally understood their relationship."After rescuing her, I'll ignore her for good."He raised his head, his deep eyes staring straight at me. "I promise."I felt a sting in my eyes as I suddenly learned why he was always so tolerant of Melody. If it were not for her helping hand back then, Theo might not have made it… I was scared to think any further. I could only stand on tiptoe and kiss his chin. "Come back soon."Theo's eyes dimmed as he grabbed the ba
