Chapter 1756: Mermaid Rearing Guide 28

Three light orbs led Lin Juan to the square, still imposing and luxurious, except the white marble floor now had something extra.

A huge ring, inside which many things Lin Juan couldn't understand were carved.

The red light orb brushed past Lin Juan's fingertip, indicating he should look at the top pattern; to Lin Juan it looked like some kind of linked illustration.

The light orbs turned into juvenile merfolk, then adult and fully mature forms; each transformation brought a large moon and even the ominous signs of a storm that could be called sea wind and waves.

Such a thing had already happened a few days before the storm.

Lin Juan somewhat understood, looked up at the light sources, and asked softly: "Is it almost the full‑moon tide Jin Chen mentioned? That's why he's become like this?"

The red light orb quickly bobbed up and down in agreement, then let Lin Juan, who didn't know what he was thinking, look at the things below.

Lin Juan understood.

The shift from adult to fully mature form has no time limit; ordinary merfolk might never be able to complete it in a lifetime, just as Jin Chen himself thought the moon‑shadow tide a few days later was merely finishing the interrupted inheritance.

But Jin Chen is a descendant of the sea god; the next transformation will be into the fully mature form, yet his sea spiritual power is insufficient, so he will fall into sleep to resist the impending transformation.

Reason told Lin Juan that the full‑moon tide in a few days would be the best time for him to leave.

As long as he accompanies Jin Chen safely through the transformation period, the fully mature merfolk will become stronger, never again be captured by the Base Hunting Team, and he can also do what he hasn't finished.

Lin Juan raised his hand, clumsily touched the red light orb, and said, "I understand, thank you."

——

"Enough!"

In the Mermaid City King's Qin Gong came a human's frustrated voice.

Lin Juan wore only a soft blanket, half‑leaning on the bed, wishing he could kick the hateful mermaid off.

Since three days ago, Jin Chen has been like someone who took medicine, sleepless and restless, only wanting to mate; later he learned that merfolk have a special period during the full moon.

But this is too much for a human to bear!

"You're not allowed on the bed again!" Lin Juan whispered a reprimand, then propped his waist to ease the soreness.

Jin Chen felt wronged, Jin Chen didn't understand.

During the special period, merfolk can't even sleep with their wives; how could such a thing exist in the world?

He scooted over to the bedside, lowered his brows, and stared at Lin Juan, silently expressing his dissatisfaction.

Lin Juan: "……"

"No." He restated his position again.

The result was that, in the blink of an eye, Jin Chen's eyes turned red, his deep blue pupils became moist, as if tears like pearls would fall any second.

"Honey, my tail itches." Jin Chen cooed softly, then leaned in to kiss him, his eyes reflecting Lin Juan's image, all soft and crooked.

Lin Juan felt it was utterly uncanny.

Jin Chen dismissed it: "I'm just a human, clearly without any special period, so how can I not withstand teasing?"

Jin Chen kissed once, stopped to observe Lin Juan's reaction, then kissed a few more times before lifting the blanket and slipping inside.

Lin Juan pushed him twice, to no avail; the next instant a hand stroked his waist.

"Be good, it won't hurt."

Jin Chen suddenly spoke softly, his low, teasing voice like an explosion in Lin Juan's ear; not to mention the sudden rise in temperature at his waist, the palm covering his waist felt like it held fire.

Lin Juan helplessly sighed, turned his head, and bit the pointed, beautiful ear fin to vent his frustration.

But he also didn't know what else he had touched on Jin Chen; when Lin Juan was pounced on again, he was still dazed.

"Again…?" Lin Juan's voice trembled.

Jin Chen's fingertip lightly brushed Lin Juan's lip corner; lowering his eyes, his shimmering brows and eyes looked even more gorgeous in the clear light, lazily sprawled in Lin Juan's embrace.

"Don't come, help me rub my wife."

Lin Juan then stayed still, holding him and stroking his scattered silver hair intermittently, and asked softly: "Tonight you'll complete the transformation; that ring says each transformation is very dangerous—are you afraid?"

Rather than nervous, Lin Juan worried more that Jin Chen would fear transformation because of his previous failure.

"Not afraid, there's nothing to fear."

Jin Chen yawned, feeling a bit sleepy.

He rubbed against Lin Juan's neck, tightened his waist, his tail fin skillfully wrapped around, and said, "Stay with me tomorrow."

"... Okay."

Lin Juan tilted his head and kissed the top of Jin Chen's head, his gaze dimming.

——

Full‑moon tide period.

After a period of calm, the sea surface churned again; a storm passed and cleared, even the birds that liked to play on the water dared not approach, as if they could sense something.

Until the moonlight fell, it was brighter and more brilliant than usual.

At the corner of a huge reef, the moonlight in Jin Chen's eyes seemed to turn into shimmering gold, swirling around him.

He lifted his gaze, looking at Lin Juan who had always stood by, and smiled: "Looks like it's about to start—do you really have to wait here?"

Lin Juan frowned: "Of course I have to wait, don't get distracted."

"Alright."

Jin Chen really wasn't nervous; this wasn't a heavenly tribulation, just like shedding skin.

But Lin Juan had been treating it like a great enemy these past days, making Jin Chen also have to take it seriously.

He glanced at the three light balls that, like him, absorbed the moonlight's splendor, poked the yellow one then the white one, and said, "This time when you turn into merfolk, you're not allowed to cling to my wife."

The red light orb protested first, circling his ear as if saying something.

Jin Chen was doubtful, then cautiously looked at Lin Juan again.

"Hmm……"

This is okay.

But you must absolutely not let his wife find out about it right now.

Suddenly, Jin Chen's body shuddered; the body wrapped in flowing gold moonlight gradually grew scorching hot, as if something were eager to rush into his consciousness.

The inheritance is the Sea God inheritance that was interrupted last time.

Jin Chen let out a muffled grunt, hurriedly calmed his mind, closed his eyes, and entered meditation, using his origin spiritual power to suppress the Sea God power surging wildly inside his body.

The two forces seemed to be fighting inside his body, neither yielding to the other.

In Lin Juan's astonished gaze, a silver-blue circular ring totem slowly emerged from behind the reef riddled with cracks; the totem was huge, almost covering the entire giant reef.

Amid the deafening tsunami roar, the totem slowly rose and then enveloped Jin Chen.

It was an oppressive feeling that made countless beings dread it; Jin Chen bathed in moonlight, yet gradually revealed an indescribable wintry chill, as if he had already broken free of the seven emotions and six desires of mankind and transcended the endless flow of time to become a god.

Lin Juan stared at Jin Chen, fully focused; even though they had spent many days and nights together, clearly they were most familiar with each other, yet his gaze now became somewhat entranced.

Time seemed to freeze completely at this moment.

But time never stops flowing for anyone.

After an unknown amount of time, the moon on the horizon had already shifted its angle of illumination; the larvae of the Light Dumplings transformed the fastest and did not need to accept inheritance, having already become three half-person-tall little mermaids that dove into the sea surface to play, occasionally popping their heads out to try to attract Lin Juan's attention.

But Lin Juan only glanced at it, then fixed his gaze on Jin Chen again, with a hint of worry flickering between his brows.
