The Fallen Merman

When Lu Shangjin returned to the banquet, he reasoned that the child drank too much, and he had people send him back home first. Several well-acquainted friends and Lu Shangjin then chatted about Bai Chunian’s past events.

They came to know that this child was an orphan picked up from a boxing ring. Bi Ruijing rolled up his cuffs, revealing a string of green and blue branding on his distinctly muscular forearm: PBB-000026. He picked up the wine cup and took a sip. The hand that donned a wedding ring lightly tapped the table. LyI04v

“I don’t know what evil spirit has possessed my son. He kept on saying ‘Bai Chunian’ over and over when the ATWL Exam ended. I thought he must be a very remarkable guy. My son comes off slightly aloof, but he’s profound and passionate on the inside. He may not say anything on the surface but actually is quite shrewd in his heart. On the face of it, he is doing well at the Ampheia Academy. In reality, he looks down at his fellow classmates of nobility in his heart. For this matter, I even talked to him for one night.”

This was Bi Lanxing’s alpha father, a retired and former PBB special forces lieutenant. He held a place in the International Business Federation, and his words possessed enormous importance.

“What is there to talk about? Children’s state of mind being a bit arrogant isn’t a bad thing.” Lu Shangjin said.

Xia Pingtian, the current chief of Hong YeXia Clan, was sitting nearby and chatted with him, “Yan Yi also really trusts him, going as far as handing over the special training base to his leadership.”

His past history must’ve been thoroughly investigated ahead of schedule. However, this piece of information being said aloud wasn’t pleasant to hear at all. Lu Shangjin also wasn’t content to have outsiders speculate on his inherent ability of discovering competent people.

“How do I put this?” Lu Shangjin inclined his head to look at him, “Don’t say such things in front of my second son. A child’s self-esteem is the most fragile.”

Bi Ruijing laughed and lifted his wine cup to touch his: “Have your second son take good care of our Lanxing.”

“That goes without saying.” nXwRTs

After chatting for a while more, Lu Shangjin raised his wine cup and seemed to unintentionally mention: “Haven’t we been talking about the 109 Research Institute all this time? Yan Yi’s stand reflects mine. We are afraid of old friends retiring for enjoyment, leading to their eyes and ears becoming less bright and clear than before, so we have gathered here today at the banquet. Here’s a toast to everyone.”

Relaxed, Lu Shangjin leaned back on the chair. The broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted figure that was no different than of his youth was attributed to his usual self-discipline. But although his brutal temperament had completely disappeared after his reconciliation with Yan Yi, he would still reveal a bit of a lingering impertinence from the bones of oppression time and again. In the entire banquet, the only one whose differentiation grade reached A3 was him. Regardless of the grade or social status, all guests at the banquet highly revered Lu Shangjin.

The meaning of the words calling attention to the point couldn’t be more obvious. Even though the Omega Alliance had the right to speak in the international conference, they wouldn’t possess any decisive power. However, if the International Business Federation stepped on the inside, the weight of Yan Yi’s words would certainly fall differently.

The present guests wasted no time to return the compliment in succession. 0nUoDQ

Yan Yi had fallen asleep on the upholstered armchair, curled up on himself. His rabbit ears rested on his eyes to block the light. A tablet with a file that wasn’t yet closed was placed on his stomach.

Lu Shangjin took off his slippers and quietly walked over to him. He pulled the tablet out of his bosom and put it on the table, bowing to scoop up the omega’s bent knees. He picked him up horizontally and put him under the blankets, then turned off the lights and climbed into bed, hugging him from behind. Tenderly, the tip of his nose fit snugly against the glands on his nape, sniffing the fragrance of soft, milk-scented pheromones.

Lan Yi stirred and subconsciously put his palm on the big hand of the alpha that was drawing his waist in. The wedding rings on their ring fingers pressed together. 2Tlo59

“How much did you drink? Making you a cup of sobering tea will make you feel a bit better.”

“No need, I didn’t drink much.” Lu Shangjin closed his eyes, “Why are you still awake at this hour?”

“I was thinking about what to bring up at the international conference afterwards– prohibiting further research and development of experimental subjects and recognizing the independent personality and legitimacy of existing and living experimental subjects. This is my responsibility as the president of the Alliance.” Yan Yi said wearily, “But we also must ensure that they have no desire to slaughter and feed like Xiao Bai.”

“En, it’s a good thing.” Lu Shangjin kissed his ear, “Have you told Xiao Bai? He’ll definitely be happy.” qj89ub

“Not yet.” Yan Yi sighed, “This is not something that can be achieved overnight. I fear that he will be disappointed.”

Currently Bai Chunian, as a public Alliance special agent, had his personal rights protected by the Omega Alliance. Once he separated himself from the Alliance, the number of people who would eye his glands and ability wouldn’t be small. However strong he was, he would not be able to fight off numerous well-equipped, armed forces.

“It’s okay, I will support you. Leave it be.”

“En.” Yan Yi turned around and gently grabbed the clothes around his waist, his head buried in the alpha’s neck, “What about the birthday present for the Rabbit Ball?” PkuxWo

“I specially asked him what he wanted, fearing that I’d buy the wrong one.” Lu Shangjin said, “He wants a helicopter. Pray tell, why does a little rabbit omega want such masculine things all day long?”

Yan Yi asked tiredly, “Did you buy it?”

“I bought it, bought a large one. Since one might not be enough, I bought a hover. In passing, I brought two art designers over as a package deal. Whatever Baby wants to do with the exterior, we’ll do it.”

“Sooner or later you will spoil him rotten.” Yan Yi raised his rabbit ears and flung them at Lu Shangjin’s face. o9I03h

“Raise alphas in poverty. Raise omegas in prosperity. That’s the way it should be.”

“Forget it.” Yan Yi closed his eyes, intending to sleep, and suddenly asked again, “You did not take Xiao Bai to drink too much, right? He is still small and sensible for the wine table.”

“I haven’t finished. I let Rimbaud take him away halfway through. He jabbered a string of forgein language to me. Listening to the tone of voice, it felt as though he were scolding me. That little guy is quite fierce.”

“Those two…” Yan Yi wasn’t finished worrying, “Rimbaud has an inherent domineering nature, and Xiao Bai does not like to have heart-to-hearts with people. I do not see them as suitable. Xiao Bai’s body has many injuries after being with him for a long time.” 29lbsX

“As long as they like each other, they are befitting. That guy is even quite delighted with it.” Lu Shangjin cuddled him to sleep. The bedroom was full of the Christmas Japanese rose scent of soothing pheromones.

Greenfly City was calm at night, the bustling streets flashing neon hues. The coming and going vehicles and pedestrians on the road were an unending flow.

On the outer walls of the tall building, a merman glowing with blue light could be seen sticking to its dazzling glass.

Rimbaud, who was now upside down on the glass, quickly roamed and crawled over like a gecko. His hands discharged electricity, clutching the huge, tall building’s internal steel structure. He held Bai Chunian using his mouth. His slender fishtail fixed the alpha’s body tethered to his own. Rimt1W

Bai Chunian was terribly drunk. He felt much more comfortable after catching the cold wind for a while on the outer walls of the towering building. He hugged Rimbaud tightly and stuck his body onto his.

He opened his eyes, head spinning, to look at the ground nearly a hundred meters away below him and hummed softly, “Wife, I’m afraid of heights, kiss me.”

Rimbaud’s face was indifferent. It was difficult to open his mouth while biting Bai Chunian’s collar at the same time. Voice muffled, he said: “Before, not afraid of heights.”

Bai Chunian was deliberately provocative: “I’m afraid of heights starting now.” BOVLbF

Rimbaud was helpless against Bai Chunian’s stickiness and kissed him. But this caused his grip to loosen, and the alpha slipped out of the middle of the fishtail wrapped around his body and fell, crashing through two steel billboards.

Rimbaud quickly climbed down and wrapped his fishtail around the alpha’s foot as he was about to ram into the ground, hauling him back into his embrace and continuing to hold him with his mouth.

Bai Chunian was hit while unconscious, and he automatically activated the J1 ability Bone Armour. So, even though a human-shaped hole was smashed in the middle of the two steel billboards, not a hair on his body was harmed.

“Incredible, let’s do it again!” Bai Chunian said excitedly, “I want to take you to the playground to play, enjoy such things. You must have not played it before. I also don’t remember seeing it before. Have you heard of roller coasters? Siusiusiu——and then everyone is screaming crazily once at the top. I am not afraid of it, but I also want to howl along.” rViXd4

“Stupid, almost, fall off and shatter, head.” Rimbaud freed one of his hands and slapped him.

A transportation truck passed by the foot of the building, and Rimbaud weakened his electric current. He held Bai Chunian with his mouth and fell, lightly binding them to the truck carriage. They hitchhiked all the way back to the apartment building.

He flung Bai Chunian at the door and instantly rushed into the fish tank to cool down.

The icy water embraced his warmed-up body. Rimbaud lay at the bottom of the tank and panted, worn out. He pulled at the moisturizing bandage wrapped around his body to loosen it a bit, vaguely revealing the scalded red and swollen skin below it. A few scales had also scalded off on his fishtail, revealing some light red flesh underneath. It would hurt terribly if one were to touch it. Ly0xcV

After soaking for a full ten minutes, Rimbaud reluctantly recovered from his elevated body temperature. He climbed out of the fish tank dripping wet and dragged Bai Chunian onto the bed. He clumsily stripped off his dirty clothes and pants reeking with the stink of alcohol and tobacco and threw them into his own fish tank. Then, he pushed Bai Chunian into his own fish tank as well.

Rimbaud lay on the edge of the fish tank, dipping both his hands into the water. The dirtiness on his clothes was automatically purified. Bai Chunian was also washed to the point he was all sparkling and shiny.

Pushing him in was easy. Fishing him out would be the hard part. Rimbaud towed him with his mouth before he finally pulled the alpha out of the fish tank. He covered him with a bath towel and rubbed, then carried him to the bedstead. Afterwards, he put the clean clothes and pants on the balcony’s cloth drying pole.

Bai Chunian was lying down, facing the ceiling. His forearms, graced with beautiful muscle lines, were placed over his eyes to block the bedroom lights’ illumination. A quilt covered his lower body, and his upper body was bare. His muscles had clear gorges, and a long, stitched scar extended from his chest to the side of his waist. 5zvrny

Rimbaud observed that he was wearing a black rope around his neck. He had never seen this item before. It might be a newly bought accessory.

Following the alpha’s neckline, he stole the pendant threaded by the black rope and swung it in front of Bai Chunian’s chest. His skin was very white, and most of the hair on his body was white too, so his body hair appeared to be very light.

To Rimbaud’s surprise, the black rope was threading a black pearl with a blue luster. Moreover, a blue fish scale was decorating it.

Those pearls were left unattended after they fell. Rimbaud also did not think about where they went. In fact, it did not matter if they were swept and thrown away or taken somewhere to sell. To him, it was just a form of common secretion without any trace of preciousness. However, each time Bai Chunian picked all of them up and put them in his pocket with great affection. O1fNDZ

His teardrops were of varying sizes, and their shapes also weren’t all uniform. Bai Chunian had selected the roundest one possible and secretly constructed it into a pendant, covertly hanging it around his neck.

Rimbaud lay beside him, fingers pinching the perforated pearl for examination. In the sea, these frivolous and inexpensive things were even more innumerable. When a merbaby was born, they would make a number of pearls. When a mermaid was jilted, their residence would be full of pearls, piling up. His clansmen won’t deem even their King’s tears to be this valuable.

The speed of his heartbeat was different from before. Rimbaud sat on the edge of the bed and blankly touched his own chest. There was an unspeakable, strange feeling– one that he had never felt even when bestowing favor to those handsome mermen alphas before. However, whenever he was with Xiao Bai, it was often like this.

Bai Chunian turned over and curled up, lying on the bed. He pursed his lips and continued to sleep. yH3EX5

Rimbaud also lay down, his fingertips softly touching Bai Chunian’s eyes. The eyelashes trembled under the light, and the shadow reflected under the eyes quivered with.

“Milayer (Baby).”

Rimbaud lightly petted him and released pure and elegant soothing pheromones.

Bai Chunian moved and suddenly raised his hands to embrace Rimbaud. His legs also lifted to press against him, wrapping around him tightly like he would a body pillow. C17LE2

The place on Rimbaud’s body that had been scalded by the alpha’s temperature was still red. In this way, he coiled around him as if supporting and roasting his body above a ball of flame.

“It hurts… let go of me…”

Bai Chunian buried his face into the hollow of the omega’s neck reliantly like when he was a child. However, due to his current build and rank, the fiery heat that came with it was already very different.
