The magnificent Lambert Palace was built 160 years ago. It was built using the best Antarctic wet red soil on the Red Earth Continent. It is the hardest granite in the world.

But this year, a lot of construction work was being done. A secret tunnel was dug under the palace, leading directly to the bedroom of Crown Prince Lambert. A half-moon-shaped large pool was built in the bedroom, directing seawater into the pool through the tunnel.

For the sake of safety, the tunnel is hundreds of metres long. It was narrow and winding. So, no human can pass through it alive. Obviously, it is not prepared for human beings to pass through.

Li Shuo was checking the year’s military budget when suddenly there was a sound in the pool.

Li Shuo was overjoyed and hurried over to the edge of the pool: “Jinxin?”

A stunning face slowly surfaced from the water. His long blond hair fluttered in the water as he smiled at Li Shuo.

Li Shuo said happily: “How did you know that the digging of this tunnel is finished today?”

Jinxin put his arms around Li Shuo’s neck: “I can feel it.”

Li Shuo smiled: “You feel my longing for you.”

Jinxin giggled and dragged him into the water. He blocked his lips forcefully and kissed him passionately. Li Shuo also hugged his waist and responded emotionally.

Jinxin moved his hands wantonly on Li Shuo’s body as he kissed along his chin all the way to his chest. He then skillfully unbuttoned him.

“No. No.” Li Shuo grabbed his hand and said awkwardly, “It’s daytime now.”

Jinxin asked quizzically, “What’s wrong with it being daytime?”

“I still have some business to deal with.”

“Isn’t it also your business to be with me?” Jinxin hugged Li Shuo tightly into his arms and deliberately pushed forward to let him feel his vigorous desire underneath.

Li Shuo smiled softly: “Of course you are, my princess. But I still have a lot of official duties to do.”

“No way. Why don’t you just stay with me?” Jinxin hugged Li Shuo and moved in a circle in the water. He refused to let him go. A colourful halo was projected among the water waves.

“Stop spinning. I’m dizzy.”

“You stay with me.” Jinxin bit Li Shuo’s shoulder lightly with his teeth.

“Okay, I’ll stay with you. Don’t spin around.” Li Shuo said helplessly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door: “Your Highness, your lunch is ready.”

Li Shuo said: “Send it in.”

In the next moment, Chengxiu came in pushing a pure copper dining cart. He was surprised when he saw Jinxin, “Ah, His Royal Highness Jinxin is here. Should I prepare an extra lunch?”

“No need. You always prepare a lot of food. I can’t even finish it all by myself.” Li Shuo smiled, “Come in. Put it by the pool.”

Jinxin put his chin on Li Shuo’s shoulder as he blinked and looked at Chengxiu, “You have to prepare some more desserts today.”

“Huh? Oh. Okay. What do you want to eat?”

“It’s not what I want to eat. But it’s what my Brother Emperor wants to eat.” Jinxin smiled, “If you make my Brother Emperor angry, the consequences will be very serious.”

Chengxiu shrank his shoulders in fear. His expression looked a little afraid, but his face blushed inexplicably: “Okay…”

Li Shuo feels dissatisfied, “He’s coming too?”

Jinxin pouted and said innocently, “My lover doesn’t like my brother?”

“He’s not friendly at all.” Li Shuo complained softly, “This tunnel is especially prepared for you.”

Ever since the Siren clan saved the Lambert sea area, the Siren has been enshrined by the Lambert people as the god of the Red Earth Continent. Li Shuo also took the opportunity to reveal his relationship with Jinxin to his king and queen. He was not only forgiven but also allowed to prepare such a passage in the castle where he could meet Jinxin at any time.

Before the completion of the tunnel in the room, they all got together at the seaside. Somehow, Qun became obsessed with human food. To be precise, it was all the delicacies cooked by Chengxiu. Hence, that cold and fierce siren prince also became a frequent visitor to Lambert Kingdom.

“He is already very friendly to you.” Jinxin smiled and kissed Li Shuo, “Don’t be afraid of him.”

“I’m not afraid of him.” Li Shuo stroked Jinxin’s long hair, “I promised you that as long as I have time, I will accompany you back to the Siren Kingdom. You are adapting to the human world and I will also adapt to the Siren world for you.”

Jinxin pursed his lips: “Then, when will you be free?”

“I…” Li Shuo smiled wryly, “Actually, after drinking that potion last time, although I was able to breathe underwater for a while, I vomited for several days afterwards. Do you have any other potions with less side effects?”

Jinxin smiled slyly: “Actually, you don’t need to drink any more potion. There is a method for you to breathe underwater forever.”

“Oh, what’s the method?”

Chengxiu, who was setting the plates, also turned his face curiously.

Jinxin squeezed Li Shuo’s face: “This magic has to be told and done in the Seven Seas.”

After Chengxiu left, the two of them sat on the low steps in the well-designed pool and tasted the lunch prepared by the top chef of Red Earth Continent.

Jinxin was not good at using eating utensils yet. So Li Shuo held his hands and taught him patiently. When Jinxin became impatient with learning, Li Shuo simply fed him one bite at a time. Eating a meal took them two hours to finish. But it was a very sweet moment for them.

After eating, Li Shuo sat on the bank and continued to read his official documents. Meanwhile, Jinxin rested his head on Li Shuo’s lap and played with Li Shuo’s fingers. He hummed a song softly and fell asleep after a while with his colourful tails swaying comfortably in the water.

Li Shuo looked down at Jinxin’s beautiful undefended sleeping face. He couldn’t help but to stroke his blond hair and felt infinite warmth in his heart. He couldn’t be more satisfied to be able to stay with Jinxin like this.

Before he knew it, the sun was setting and Li Shuo was already tired. He put down the documents in his hands and stroked Jinxin’s smooth skin with his fingertips. He then gently pinched his face.

Jinxin’s eyelashes trembled as he opened his eyes. He smiled blankly at Li Shuo.

“Did you sleep well?” Li Shuo asked softly.

“Hmm.” Jinxin yawned, “Are you done?”

“It’s done.”

“I’ll take you to the sea to see the stars.” Jinxin looked at Li Shuo with a sparkle in his eyes.

Li Shuo lowered his head and stared into his eyes. He said with a slight smile, “Your eyes are already like stars. Why should I go to the sea to see them?”

Jinxin blinked his eyes twice: “Then let’s go and see the moon.”

A person surfaced from the water suddenly, startling both of them.

Li Shuo took a closer look and saw that Qun was floating in the water, looking at them with a straight face.

“Brother Emperor, why are you here at this time?”

“I can come here whenever I like.” Qun then leaned against the shore as he bossed around with no politeness at all, “Go call that human chef over.”

Li Shuo thought that he was the one who saved Lambert Kingdom after all. So he suppressed his anger every time this happened. He called Chengxiu over and said to Qun, “You can’t come here every now and then just to eat snacks. Why don’t I pack them for you in a waterproof box and send it to the bottom of the sea for you?”

“I want to eat them fresh.” Qun said arrogantly, “Or you can give me this chef.”

Chengxiu was startled. Li Shuo said, “He’s a person, not an object. So it’s impossible for me to give him to you.”

Qun snorted coldly: “Hurry up and serve me some snacks.”

Chengxiu carefully placed the newly baked dessert in front of Qun. He then sat aside, hugging his knees as he watched Qun eating with his hands without any regard for etiquette. There’s a gentle smile in Chengxiu’s eyes.

Qun glanced at Chengxiu as he picked up a mango mousse cake: “You eat them too.”

Chengxiu took it with a smile. He then seriously chatted with Qun about how to make this dessert.

Jinxin smiled and dragged Li Shuo into the water: “Let them eat some snacks. Let’s go to see the moon.”

“Hey, wait…-“

Jinxin dragged Li Shuo into the bottom of the water involuntarily. They quickly passed through the tunnel and swam to the sea.

Floating on the water, the two of them looked at the bright and clear full moon in the sky. They felt that everything was peaceful and beautiful.

“By the way, what’s the method that can make me breathe underwater?”

Jinxin looked at Li Shuo with a smile: “Before that, I want to ask you a question.”

“Okay.”

“The lifespan of a merman is one thousand years. Are you ready to be with me for a thousand years?”

Li Shuo was stunned: “That’s so long. But I’m only a human being. Can I live that long?”

“Yes. But you must be willing to love me all your life. No matter how many years it takes. Until we die.” Jinxin’s expression was rare and solemn.

Li Shuo was silent. Human beings have been pursuing the magic method of immortality for thousands of years. He also imagined that if he had a longer lifespan, he would be able to do as many things as he wanted. But when this opportunity that was almost equal to eternal life was really in front of him, he hesitated. A thousand years is too long. Would he be tired of living by then?

Jinxin frowned: “Are you not sure about this?”

Li Shuo looked at him: “It’s not like that. I’m sure I will love you forever, whether it’s thousands of years or ten thousand years. But human beings only have a lifespan of at most a hundred years. I don’t know if I will get tired of living for that long.”

“You won’t be tired as long as we are together.” Jinxin held his hand tightly, “I will always be with you until death do us part.”

Li Shuo took a deep breath and showed a determined smile: “You are right. As long as you are here, I am not afraid of these things. So yes, I am willing. I hope you will be with me until the end of my life.”

Jinxin said emotionally, “Thank you.”

Li Shuo smiled and said, “Why should you thank me for that?”

“I’m thankful for us to have met each other.” Jinxin said sincerely.

“Well, this is indeed something to be grateful for… But, what exactly are you going to do? Don’t tell me you’re going to go to that witch again, will you?”

“No, I don’t need her powers for this.” Jinxin pulled Li Shuo into the water without hesitation.

Jinxin hugged Li Shuo and looked straight into his eyes. He said solemnly: “As long as we love each other sincerely and firmly, we will marry under the sea. The sea will bless us, giving you the ability to breathe in the sea and a body that will never age.”

Li Shuo’s eyes widened in surprise.

Jinxin lowered his head to sip on his lips. He sucked them around and sucked the air into his mouth. At the same time, he tore open his clothes easily.

Li Shuo hugged Jinxin’s neck, actively rubbing against his bare but solid chest.

Soon, Li Shuo was stripped by Jinxin and returned to the most primitive appearance like Jinxin. They were suspended in the sea, surrounded by darkness, silence, and warmth. The moonlight above their heads was enough for them to see each other clearly. It was as if there was nothing else in the world. Only the two of them remained.

Jinxin made Li Shuo’s legs clamped around his waist as he thrust his dick into Li Shuo’s asshole gently but firmly. His huge fishtail swayed in the water while his waist swayed violently.

Li Shuo raised his neck, allowing the strong desire to erode his whole body. He trembled uncontrollably. He was completely conquered by primitive lust. He even forgot to hold his breath. When he opened his mouth and nose unbearably, he once again experienced the freedom of breathing freely in the water.

At that moment, something changed. Li Shuo could feel that he was getting closer to Jinxin. He was so close that he could even hear Jinxin’s heartbeat in the sea. Every movement of Jinxin in his body seemed to penetrate his life, bringing him unspeakable pleasure and joy.

A human and a merman were making love underwater in the sea to their heart’s content. It was as if there is nothing in this world that can compare to them enjoying this supreme excitement of entangling their bodies with the one they love. In their long and immortal life in the future, their love will remain unchanged.

From then on, the prince of the land and the prince of the sea lived happily ever after.
