Her Tentacles 106

Chapter 106: Extra 8

“Although she only recognizes you now, you should still be careful and prioritize your own safety. But you also happen to be short of someone who can always be with you, and it’s so chaotic outside now…”

In the study at home.

The news of the [Parasite] invasion of this villa area had spread in a short time. For a while, the rich people living here were all in a state of panic. Those who could afford these villas would not have only one residence. At this moment, the Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing their own magical powers, and all began to look for safer places to live and ways out.

The Situ family was no exception.

After her parents learned that Xuan Zhu had timely saved Situ Jin, they turned their attention away from that fish and no longer cared about how she raised this mermaid. After all, even if Situ Jin was not the heir, she still had the right to dispose of these assets.

Compared to the second-generation rich kids who would fill a whole building with bags, buy new clothes and watches every month, and also buy the latest sports cars, Situ Jin’s expenses were not exaggerated.

So her family was not very strict about her spending.

And now, finding that the mermaid that Young Master Ye had given her seemed to have a chance of being cultivated into one of their own, and was better than those hired special talents, her parents’ attitude was more inclined to be gratified.

It was the gratification of thinking that her judgment was not bad.

Situ Jin, who understood this meaning: “…”

She was at a loss for words.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing that she seemed to have something else to say, her father, who had been worried about his business being able to continue due to the recent disputes, looked up again and looked at her patiently.

She immediately replied, “Nothing. It’s just that I want her to be my personal bodyguard.”

“Okay,” the middle-aged man thought for a moment and nodded very readily. “She was originally just a gift from that one from the Ye family. But now that you can tame her and keep her by your side, that’s also your ability… It will also be good for your relationship in the future.”

The smile on Situ Jin’s lips stiffened slightly.

She was very sure.

If she and Xuan Zhu were to get any closer, perhaps she would have no future relationship with that one from the Ye family.

However, she did not want to say this out loud, and only vaguely went along with this topic, and naturally turned to the recent social trends, and also mentioned some details of her interactions with Shu Yao.

Her good friend, who had joined the special department, was now very different from before. Especially in this increasingly dangerous world, her attitude, with her special abilities and her connections with both humans and monsters, could let a sharp person guess the development of many things.

…

After walking out of the study.

She stood outside the door for a while.

And then she found that she had been stared at by a gaze for a long time. Her eyes moved slightly, and sure enough, she saw the silver figure on the balcony next to her.

This place was her parents’ viewing platform, facing the lake and mountains outside. It was very suitable for enjoying afternoon tea, or for relaxing, reading, and blowing in the wind. When it was designed, it was her mother’s special plan.

However, at this moment, in such a beautiful scenery, Xuan Zhu, who was also beautiful, did not cast her gaze on the scenery. Ever since Situ Jin had walked out of the room, she had always been focused on looking only at her.

When Situ Jin looked back, Xuan Zhu’s frost-like eyebrows and eyelashes were reflected on the balcony glass, making her expression as if it were frozen. She looked at her own appearance, thought for a moment, and actually learned from Situ Jin’s usual way of smiling at her, and slowly curved her lips toward the other person inside the glass.

And also showed a smile.

Situ Jin was slightly stunned.

She quickly walked over, pulled open the balcony door and closed it, and then sat down on the chair opposite her.

The noon sun had dried the rain that had fallen in the morning. The maple leaves planted on the halfway up the mountain had a slight golden tip. A just-right wind blew from a distance, carrying the smell of autumn, making Situ Jin squint her eyes slightly.

She casually poured herself a cup of tea, and after taking a sip, she said to Xuan Zhu, “We might have to move recently. The other place doesn’t have such a big swimming pool. I don’t know if you can adapt. Do you want to go and have a look first?”

Xuan Zhu blinked her deep blue eyes.

“The pool doesn’t matter.”

She said, “As long as I’m with you.”

Situ Jin, who was suddenly hit by this direct ball: “…”

To be honest, she had recently suspected more and more that this fish was not slow in learning. She was just being lazy with the illusion of “not understanding” and “not being able to speak.” When it came to expressing herself, wasn’t she speaking quite actively?

Her lips touched the rim of the teacup, and she raised an eyebrow at the silver-haired mermaid. “Oh?”

Xuan Zhu didn’t quite understand the meaning of her sound.

After thinking for a moment, she pointed at herself. “Bodyguard.”

Then she pointed at Situ Jin. “With you.”

“What, you heard me?” Situ Jin looked back at the direction of this balcony door, and then at the thick, soundproof wooden door of her father’s study.

Thinking of what she had said to her family just now, after a while, her fingertips tapped on the rim of the cup, and then she said, “You’re willing to be my bodyguard?”

Xuan Zhu nodded, and nodded vigorously.

A well-behaved and stubborn appearance.

Xuan Zhu nodded, and nodded vigorously.

A well-behaved and stubborn appearance.

Situ Jin couldn’t help but say in a low voice, “No bodyguard would sleep in their employer’s bed.” And she even had to secretly stuff her soft chest into her employer’s hand every day.

Xuan Zhu immediately showed a puzzled expression, tilted her head to look at her, and her long, silver, curly hair slid down from the side of her ear, covering a little of her already small cheek, making her deep blue eyes look even more mysterious and serene.

The way she looked at people was also inexplicably more persistent.

Situ Jin put down the teacup, and was too lazy to tell if she was really not understanding or was just pretending. She got up and, with a little force, and with a hint of ruthlessness, she rubbed her head, and then said to her:

“Let’s go.”

“We’ll go and see what’s missing in the new place first, so that we can have someone bring it over later. Yaoyao is going out with me tonight. Bodyguard, you have to work hard and follow me.”

Xuan Zhu’s eyes lit up, and she quickly followed her to stand up, answering crisply, “Okay!”

Situ Jin: …So she was just pretending not to understand just now, right?

According to Situ Jin’s plan.

She and Xuan Zhu would probably maintain this strange, ambiguous relationship for a long time. Xuan Zhu would not only have to protect her personal safety, but also be her bedmate—

Hiss, how did it sound like this mermaid was being taken advantage of?

Miss Situ looked at the pink moon outside the window and felt as if there was something wrong with her brain. She was actually starting to think about who was taking advantage of whom between her and Xuan Zhu… a very gay question.

She urgently diverted her attention.

She remembered that today should be the day Shu Yao was going to the rich man’s island to attend a banquet, and she didn’t know if she had left safely.

Just as Situ Jin was sitting by the window, staring at the moon and letting her imagination run wild, a pair of cool hands suddenly covered her eyelids, interrupting her increasingly disordered thoughts.

“Don’t look.”

Xuan Zhu’s voice was right next to her, sounding by her ear.

Situ Jin raised her hand and caught her wrist, and turned her head. “Why are you out of the bathroom?”

Today, Xuan Zhu’s expression had been very wrong all day. If she had to describe it, it was full of unease and restlessness. In the morning, she had turned into her long and powerful fishtail on her bed, and had even been slapping the mattress with a pa pa sound.

Situ Jin thought it was because she had been out of the water for too long and had been by her side for too long recently, so she had urgently had someone modify her own bathtub in the new residence, and had managed to stuff this fish in, letting her stay in the water for a while.

Originally, Situ Jin had wanted to requisition her parents’ master bathroom, which was larger—

Unfortunately, Xuan Zhu was very unwilling to be too far away from her.

In the end, she had to settle for second best, and aggrievedly rolled up her tail fin, and curled up in her bathtub, clinging to the marble edge, and looking at her with a pitiful look.

Situ Jin had stayed with her in the bathroom for a while, and later her phone had rung. It was that one from the Ye family calling her. She had come out to answer, and had temporarily stayed outside.

She hadn’t expected Xuan Zhu to come out after she had just hung up the phone and was in a daze for a while.

She wanted to turn her head. “You should go back quickly.”

Who knew that the force covering her eyes was very persistent, and even unconsciously pressed her head back, against the shoulder of the person behind her.

“It’s coming. Don’t look,” Xuan Zhu murmured in a low voice.

But her gaze couldn’t help but look at the vulnerable throat skin that was exposed when Situ Jin tilted her head up at this moment.

The human throat under her palm rolled, and the skin covering the artery was illuminated by the pink moonlight, making it look demonic. A lot of bloody images suddenly appeared in her mind.

Some were the atavistic memories of her mermaid bloodline, replaying for her over and over again the scene of the underwater city collapsing and her companions dying.

Some were from when she was still a human, being pressed on a pure white operating table, the cold needle and the silver-white scalpel falling, and then being drawn away with a bloody look.

…

“Xuan Zhu?”

“Xuan Zhu!”

Situ Jin’s voice pulled the mermaid’s attention back.

Only then did she realize that in order to fight against the pain in her body, she had reflexively immersed her body in the cold seawater.

The only difference was.

Because she was still concerned about this person’s safety, and didn’t want her to be captured by the [Lighthouse]’s stinging threads and become the other’s nourishment and puppet, she had also brought Situ Jin in with her when she had returned to the bathtub.

At this moment, in the cold bathtub water, the warmth sitting on her beautiful fishtail was the only warmth she could touch.

Her deep blue pupils, in the unlit bathroom, could still clearly see the human’s appearance. She saw the hem of her skirt that had been soaked below her waist, and also the nervous and concerned look in her eyes.

For some reason, Xuan Zhu started to feel hot again.

She thought it was because those annoying instincts and memories had caused her painful experience to act up, so her tail moved restlessly, slapping the stone wall of the bathtub with a pa pa sound, and her fingers also couldn’t help but reach for the scales on her body—

Only pain could suppress pain.

However, Situ Jin, who saw that she had been normal for a long time and had now suddenly resumed her self-harming behavior, stopped her action. She grabbed the wrist that was about to scrape off the scales with one hand, and touched her head with the other, and even along her neck, waist, and abdomen, she touched her lower half of the long silver-scaled tail.

“Good girl.”

Situ Jin’s voice was filled with a strong sense of comfort. Although she didn’t know what was wrong with her today, and she was also a little flustered when she was pulled into the bathtub just now, worried that she was about to lose her mind.

But at this moment, feeling the mermaid’s pain and unease, the thought of wanting the other to return to her normal state took the upper hand. She didn’t even think about the fact that her own strength was completely insufficient to suppress the other, and the danger of being thrown out by a grumpy mermaid.

Her tone was filled with a coaxing meaning. She caressed the other’s cold body over and over again, and even bent down and moved her head closer to the other:

“Calm down, okay?”

Not enough.

Completely not enough.

The places that had been caressed by that hot palm, whether it was the human’s skin or the position of the fish scales, were all clamoring for more.

Xuan Zhu, at some point, had already stopped her behavior and thoughts of wanting to tear off her scales. She vaguely realized that Situ Jin’s caress seemed to be able to replace the pain, and to prevent her from falling into that inexplicably anxious and burning pain.

However.

Her instincts at this moment instead began to crave for more other touches.

The tip of her tail curled, and her eyes stared at the person who was approaching her without blinking. She smelled the other’s scent getting closer, and closer.

She couldn’t help but open her mouth, but it was no longer the usual low, somewhat hoarse tone, but a voice like that of nature.

It was the mermaid’s innate singing voice.

At first, it was just a light hum, but later it turned into obscure pronunciation and words.

“A little more.”

She was using her voice to bewitch the human, who was like her prey. “Caress me, a little more.”

Situ Jin should have been dazed by these strange words.

But when she heard her voice, there was no unnaturalness on her face. Only the movement under her palm, following her will, the hot temperature following her will, and traveling to the place where she wanted to be touched.
