After I Dumped 7 Beast Husbands and Ran

The handsome young merman led Nan Zishi down toward the bottom of the lake.

Nan Zishi discovered that the small lake was much larger than she had imagined. Beneath the surface was a massive underground lake, and its water was ice-cold, a stark contrast to the temperature on the shore.

After swimming a few circles around Nan Zishi, Lanxing smiled and explained, ”Sister! This is an underground lake formed from the meltwater of the snowy mountains above. The Oasis was formed on top of this lake. Even though it’s freshwater and not the saltwater of the sea, Little Fu and I find it quite comfortable to swim here.”

The beautiful, seven-colored fishtail traced a graceful arc through the water.

Lanxing was mesmerized.

’Sister is most beautiful when she’s a mermaid!’

Lanxing took Nan Zishi’s hand, his face flushing an even deeper shade of red.

”Lanxing, what’s wrong?”

The tips of the innocent young merman’s ears were flushed crimson. He stammered, ”Sister, d-do you want to see where I live?”

The tips of Lanxing’s ears turned even redder.

’I’m so wicked. I’m intentionally seducing my female master.’

’Does this make me a bad Beast Husband?’

”Alright,” Nan Zishi said.

Lanxing smiled.

With a swish of his blue-purple tail, Lanxing took Nan Zishi’s hand and led her toward a stone wall at the bottom of the lake.

”I didn’t bring my shell bed, and there are no shells here, so I found this crevice in the rock. I decorated it a little and have been sleeping here at night.”

”You should have said so sooner!” Nan Zishi took the large clamshell she had collected before from her storage space and placed it in the crevice.

”Now you have a bed.”

”Sister, you brought it!” Lanxing swam around the shell a few times in pleasant surprise.

He had been worried the environment was too crude, but now that he had a beautiful shell bed, one of Lanxing’s anxieties melted away.

Lanxing swam onto the clamshell bed. He then gently slipped off his Jue Sha garment, his watery eyes gazing at her with a shy and timid look.

Nan Zishi blinked, swam over to the clamshell bed, and lay down beside Lanxing.

’Is it just me, or does Lanxing look especially delectable today?’

Lanxing’s cheeks were faintly flushed. He genuinely brought a redness to the rims of his eyes.

”Sister, everyone is actually really scared, and we can’t bear for you to leave. I am too...”

’How can he be so adorable?’ Nan Zishi’s heart ached for him. She gently pulled Lanxing into her arms. ”Lanxing, I’m only leaving for three days. And I will come back.”

”But you’re crossing worlds, after all. What if there’s an accident...” Lanxing leaned cautiously into her embrace.

”There won’t be any accidents. Don’t be afraid.” Nan Zishi’s hand, which had been patting him, began to stroke him instead.

”Sister, I’m always worried you don’t like me.”

”Why would you worry about that? How could I not like you? Of all my Beast Husbands, I’ve kissed you the most.”

”Really?”

”Really.”

”But Brother Hu Bai is gentle and magnanimous, Xuan Jin is wickedly charming and aloof, Chi Xiao is tall and can fly, and Day and Night is loyal and handsome. And then there’s me... I’m the weakest, and I have the weakest presence...”

Nan Zishi cradled his face in her hands. ”But you have qualities that are irreplaceable. You’re a mermaid; you can swim. It doesn’t matter if you can’t compare to them on land. The sea is your domain. Besides, you have so many good points. Our Lanxing is so adorable, so beautiful, and has such an endearing personality. How could I possibly not like you?”

Lanxing’s eyes grew even brighter. ”Is what you’re saying true, Sister?”

”It’s true—truer than pearls!”

Lanxing looked up and accurately pressed his lips against her cool ones.

He nibbled gently on her lower lip, peppering her with small, tentative kisses.

He used the methods his fellow husbands had taught him, cautiously trying to please her, and wrapped his tail around hers.

The young merman seemed to be behaving himself, yet actively initiating their lovemaking.

Realizing this, Nan Zishi quickly turned the tables and took the initiative, deepening the kiss.

Nan Zishi’s kiss was not as gentle as Lanxing’s. She revealed her domineering, unreasonable side.

She, too, nibbled lightly on his lips. Then, she kissed him deeply, forcefully.

Lanxing was no match for Nan Zishi in a kiss. Involuntary tears beaded at the corners of his eyes, and he said in a fluster, ”S-Sister!”

Nan Zishi discovered that the sight of the beautiful young Lanxing, flustered and on the verge of tears, was incredibly attractive to her, truly tempting her.

’I want to see him cry, to see the countless pearls fall from his beautiful eyes.’

’Oh, I really am a bad sister.’

Nan Zishi pressed down on top of Lanxing, pinning his hands as she kissed her way down from the corner of his lips.

”Lanxing, be good.”

”Mmm... mmm... I’ll be good, I’ll listen to you, Sister...”

The seven-colored fishtail and the blue-purple one tangled together.

The male Little Mermaid struggled weakly at the bottom of the lake.

Eventually, he stopped struggling, and one by one, small blue-purple pearls fell into the clamshell.

...

’W-We... mated!!!’

Lanxing’s face was completely flushed.

’Sister mated with me in her mermaid form!’

’Sister is so powerful! I couldn’t resist her at all.’

’So happy!! I’m so, so happy!!’

Blushing, Lanxing lowered his head and gazed at her adoringly.

’Sister isn’t awake yet.’

Knowing that his sister liked pearls, Lanxing quickly gathered the beautiful blue-purple pearls from the bed.

Remembering how those pearls had been cried out made Lanxing blush furiously all over again.

”Lanxing...” Nan Zishi turned over. She had put in all the effort last night, pressing down on the young merman and having her way with him, and now she was exhausted.

”Sister!” Lanxing scrambled to lie down beside Nan Zishi, allowing her to comfortably rest her tail on top of his.

She was a restless sleeper, always needing to hold onto something. As a human, she liked to drape her leg over something; as a mermaid, she liked to drape her tail over something.

Lanxing lowered his head, burying it in her embrace.

Nan Zishi hugged him tighter, reassuring him, ”Don’t you worry about anything else. I like you. Sister likes you very much.”

Lanxing let out a blissful ”Mmm.”

...

Fox Qi watched his daddy nervously from the side.

Brother Lu Ming was about to start treating his daddy.

Lu Ming gripped the withered branch, channeling his power into Hu Bai bit by bit. A long while passed before he finished the treatment.

The elegant and charming White Fox was covered in a thin layer of sweat. As the sweat dripped off, his body felt much lighter.

His breathing was no longer labored, and the spiritual charm that had felt stagnant within him now flowed freely.

”Huuuh.”

This feeling of being healthy... it was truly comfortable.

Hu Bai stretched his body. His graceful and alluring form made it impossible for Lu Ming to look away.

’No wonder Mother likes Daddy Hu Bai the most. Daddy Hu Bai is so captivating.’

’If my own daddy could be resurrected, he’d be more ethereal than captivating. I wonder if he could compare to Daddy Hu Bai.’

A sudden sense of anticipation grew in Lu Ming at the thought.

”Lu Ming, thank you,” Hu Bai said with solemn gratitude. ”I will remember this great favor. If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to me.”

”Okay.” Lu Ming put away the withered branch and ran off to play with the other children.

When Nan Zishi emerged from the water, she was still yawning.

Lanxing’s cheeks were flushed beet-red, and he seemed too embarrassed to face anyone.

Hu Bai froze for a moment when he saw Lanxing’s appearance.

Males know other males best. So Hu Bai understood almost instantly—

’They mated last night?’
