Chapter 85: A Heart-to-Heart Conversation

A Heart-to-Heart Conversation

He did not want it to be like this...

"Don't you want to talk to me?" Chaosheng sat up, her purple eyes gazing tenderly at Baini, who was kneeling before the Shell Bed, her soft words tinged with encouragement. "Tell me, will you?"

"Baini, if we don't clear things up this time, the problems will just pile up here."

"If problems keep accumulating in the future, we will drift further and further apart."

"Is that what you want?"

"No!" Baini suppressed the tears in his eyes and spoke firmly, "I don't want that!"

As her cool, soft fingertips brushed across Baini's slightly reddened eye corners, Chaosheng smiled gently. "Then tell me, will you?"

"Shall we solve it together?"

"Okay, okay..." Perhaps it was the female's gentle soothing at this moment that calmed Baini's uneasy heart. Baini sniffled, the corners of his mouth involuntarily drooping; he seemed to be about to say something difficult to utter.

"I..."

"At that time, he said he liked you and wanted to be your Beast Husband."

"As soon as I heard it, as soon as I heard it..." Baini lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and secretly gathered his courage. "I got so angry, I just wanted to kill him..."

After saying this, Baini slumped down, deflated, his heart beating with anxiety.

Would Sheng think he was being unreasonable? Would she be angry with him? Would she... not want him anymore?

He didn't know; he truly didn't know.

He only knew that in the ocean, he had never heard of a Beast Husband attacking and injuring his Mate, yet he had done such a thing. Even if Sheng were to cast him aside, it would not be undeserved.

After listening, Chaosheng smiled, as if she were not surprised by this answer.

Her fingertips slid from his eye corners to his sharply defined chin, tapping it twice with an ambiguous meaning, then she gently pinched it, her eyes gazing tenderly and firmly into that cowardly black abyss. "Baini, you are the first Beastman I have had feelings for; in my heart, you are different from other Beastmen."

"Regardless of whether Changye becomes my Beast Husband in the future, he will never threaten your position in my heart."

"So, don't be afraid, okay?"

A gentle, warm current flowed through Baini's heart. He looked up in disbelief, as if his whole being had been struck by something suddenly. His black lashes trembled slightly, and a joyful, happy radiance bloomed in his eyes.

His whole mind was dizzy; he almost doubted if he had misheard just now.

Sheng said he was different, that no one could threaten his existence?!

Was this real...?

His round, black eyes were moist and bright, lacking two parts of their usual unruly ferocity. At this moment, he looked at his beloved Mate with his whole heart, the affection in his eyes almost spinning into threads.

"Sheng, is it true?"

"Mm."

"You aren't lying to me?"

"Mm."

"Were the words from just now serious?"

"Yes."

"Then..."

"Alright."

Chaosheng chuckled, stopping his words, and looked seriously into Baini's eyes. "I am not lying to you; everything I said is the truth."

"Really."

Chaosheng suddenly leaned in close, and a soft kiss landed on Baini's forehead. "Alright, be good from now on, okay?"

The cool, soft sensation was fleeting. Baini's mind went blank; he was clearly stunned, his heart feeling as if it were being scorched by fire, burning hot.

A faint, imperceptible trace of purple Witch Power was weaving through his heart, conveying its owner's intentions with an inexplicable force.

At this moment, Baini felt that the distance between him and Sheng was so very close.

It was as if, between them, there was him in her, and her in him.

Changye returned in high spirits, carrying two large, plump fish. These were two cod he had carefully selected after a long time.

They looked fresh, sweet, and plump; the female would surely love to eat them.

Approaching the Ice Cave, he looked into the pitch-black interior, and his high spirits suddenly plummeted; he had to go back into the cave and act with caution again.

After what happened in the early hours, Changye had learned to be smart; he dared not provoke that stupid Orca who only knew how to use brute force to solve problems.

He wasn't so lucky that the female would save him every time.

And he didn't want to cause trouble for the female anymore...

With a heavy heart, Changye swam into the cave, dejected.

Looking at the cold stone floor, Changye opened his mouth in hesitation, then closed it. How could he call the female to eat the fish without attracting the attention of that Orca?

"You're back?"

"Just in time, Sheng hasn't eaten yet; hurry and bring them over."

The peaceful tone made Changye, whose mind was full of messy thoughts, pause. He blinked in disbelief; had he just hallucinated?

That stupid Orca was actually speaking to him so calmly?

"What are you spacing out for? Why aren't you going?"

"Sheng will be hungry in a moment."

Baini glanced at the idiot nonchalantly. Truly stupid, even spacing out while talking.

It was still they, the Orcas, who were clever and quick-witted, capable of winning the female's favor.

After having a heart-to-heart with the female, Baini found Changye much more pleasing to the eye, and even looked at him with two parts of pity.

Even if you try your best to please Sheng, the one she values and likes the most is still me!

No matter what you do, you cannot surpass me.

Changye looked at Baini, who was clearly in a good mood now, feeling confused; were Orcas' emotions always this fickle and unpredictable?

Tsk, it really is a grievance for the female to be with such a difficult Male.

Forget it, since there is a chance to get close to the female, he certainly won't let it pass.

Carrying two fresh fish, he headed in the direction of Chaosheng, "Female Chaosheng, I caught two big, fat fish!"

His features were cold and noble, and when he wasn't speaking, he always exuded a subtle sense of aloofness.

But once he started moving, the childishness and playfulness appropriate for his age would be revealed.

Chaosheng smiled and took the cod from Changye's hands; when she held it, Chaosheng was stunned for a moment—it was quite heavy.

One had to know that a cod of this weight was not easy to find.

She didn't know where Changye had caught it.

"Thank you."

Chaosheng picked up the fish and began to eat it in a slow and unhurried manner.

Changye lifted the light veil, squatted on the ice stone, rested his chin in his hands, and stared unblinkingly at the female's movements with his deep black eyes.

Even when the female ate fish, she was so elegant and beautiful.

He would have to be like the female in the future and could no longer wolf down his fish like he used to.

By the way, had the female's injuries healed?

Looking at her now, her complexion was rosy and fair; one couldn't tell at all that she had just been injured.

"Hmph!" Watching the foolish look of the White Whale Beastman, Baini let out a cold snort.

Then, looking at the little Mermaid slowly swallowing her food, gentle ripples rose in the depths of his eyes, and his clear, resonant voice carried a lingering affection, "Sheng, I'm going out to forage."

"Mm, okay," Chaosheng replied softly.

"Duang!"

Baini transformed into an Orca, sending a ripple of seawater outward; his massive tail fin curled up joyfully, and his black eyes were filled with delight.

He didn't know who to vent his overflowing pride toward.

He really wanted to show off to the other Beastmen.
