Chapter 33: [Remaining Lifespan: 99 Years] 

The next day, Xiu paid the price for what he said.
He was directly woken up by Wen Chu fucking him.
After a night’s rest, the scales on the fishtail had completely closed. But Wen Chu’s tentacles naturally carried mucus, so the closed scales were easily opened without playing their due defensive role.

Xiu only felt waves of intense sensations stimulating his brain nerves. He didn’t even have time to react, opening his mouth to let out a low and hoarse sound.
“Wen, Wen Chu…”
Xiu made sounds intermittently.

Wen Chu didn’t mean to be guilty at all: “I’m here.”

Xiu wanted to reach out and push him, asking Wen Chu to at least give him some preparation time. But just as he raised his hand, he saw Wen Chu lowering his head and getting closer.
“Xiu, I’m not feeling well. Maybe it’s because the Lifespan points are dropping too fast after acceleration.” Wen Chu frowned, leaning on his shoulder.

Clearly, he was the one with transparent and hideous tentacles, and Xiu’s scales were struggling to eat them, almost breaking from eating, yet the aggrieved one was Wen Chu.
Wen Chu whispered: “Can we start earlier today and end later?”

Xiu stared blankly at Wen Chu’s side face, his mouth agreeing before his brain: “…Okay.”

“Okay.” Wen Chu responded briskly.
The side shoulder was Xiu’s visual blind spot. Wen Chu was afraid Xiu would regret it if he saw his face, so he deliberately stuck to this position.
Because of this, Xiu failed to see the corners of Wen Chu’s lips curling up.
He only felt his cheek heat up as the youth dropped a kiss on his face.
“Thank you, and sorry for troubling you again,” Wen Chu said stickily.

Sure enough, Wen Chu was still that sickly little jellyfish.
For a moment, Xiu even forgot the fact that he was being fucked. Listening to Wen Chu’s pitiful voice, he automatically imagined the other’s sickly appearance.
“Tsk… be quick if you’re going to do it. Hurry up and save Lifespan points. Just your look—ah ugh—”

Xiu’s tough words of disdain couldn’t even be finished.
Because the tentacle was already familiar with the way, visiting the male merfolk’s degenerated place.
For scales with no mating experience after being healed, such progress was completely terrifying. Xiu opened his mouth, trembling all over.

Wen Chu was very obedient: “Okay, I’ll be faster.”
As he spoke, he wrapped his tentacles around Xiu’s waist and picked the other up, just like yesterday, using tentacles to push himself and Xiu along.

Xiu was full and completely speechless.
This time Wen Chu didn’t need to speak. As soon as he swam holding Xiu, the system consciously guided him with a blue arrow.
It didn’t say a word the whole time, as if it had completely lost the courage to speak to Wen Chu.

Wen Chu focused on Xiu hanging on him and didn’t notice the system’s abnormality.
He kissed Xiu’s side face again and asked softly: “Xiu, then can I still shoot inside?”

Xiu’s platinum eyelashes trembled.
He didn’t understand what Wen Chu was saying at all, nodding indiscriminately, and then welcomed another round of explosive fucking amidst the youth’s happy response.
Even more intense than yesterday.

Xiu whimpered and couldn’t speak. Wen Chu’s face was clearly beautiful and soft, yet he shuddered again inexplicably due to a sense of crisis.
Something seemed wrong.
Such a thought flashed through Xiu’s mind.
Then, before he even had time to ponder what he just thought, he was dragged into confusion by Wen Chu again.

[Lifespan +98h]

…
From morning to noon, and from noon to night, Xiu was healed back and forth more than ten times.
There were times healed while holding Wen Chu’s tentacle, and times Wen Chu considerately withdrew, intruding again after healing. In the end, Xiu began to trance out.
The whole world had only Wen Chu left. He was forced to lose again and again, lower abdomen slightly convex. Every time he was about to spit something out, it was locked inside by Wen Chu’s healing.
He almost forgot who he was.
Only remembering the person in front of him was Wen Chu.
A very fragile jellyfish who might lose his life at any time without his indulgence.
So it didn’t matter to do it until night…

Late night, then dawn, then noon again.
Wen Chu took Xiu to the surface. The blinding sunlight shone on the two.
Wen Chu withdrew temporarily, and Xiu finally sobered up for a moment.
After sobering up, Xiu looked at the scorching sun in a trance.
He actually did it with Wen Chu for two days and one night.
The lower abdomen, which originally only showed an inconspicuous curve, now looked like three months pregnant. Xiu almost had to hold his belly to prevent squeezing it by getting too close to Wen Chu, bringing another layer of spasmodic climax.

“You…” Xiu spoke with a hoarse voice.

Before he could hold him accountable, Wen Chu reported obediently first: “My Lifespan points reached forty years. Xiu, I wanted to ask where this is. I seem to have swum too fast?”

Xiu’s thoughts were drawn away by Wen Chu’s question.
He didn’t believe Wen Chu could swim fast at all. Hearing Wen Chu say this, his first reaction was that he forgot to guide Wen Chu in his trance, causing the other to get lost. He immediately focused on examining the surrounding scenery.
Therefore, when Xiu saw the outline of the coastline in the distance clearly, he showed genuine surprise.
“This is already near Alaska,” Xiu said in disbelief. “How did you find the way?”
According to this distance, in at most another day, Wen Chu could reach the Bering Strait and enter the Arctic Ocean through the strait.

“Following the ocean currents as you taught me.” Wen Chu lied without blinking, quietly hiding the system’s existence.

Xiu’s gaze at Wen Chu gradually changed from shock to a more complex expression.
Doing it at such high intensity, identifying directions, and traveling fast at the same time?
Was Wen Chu a monster?
Just as Xiu thought of this, he looked down and saw the transparent tentacles wrapped around his waist.
Xiu: …
Fine, really a monster.

Wen Chu breathed a sigh of relief.
After following Xiu into the deep ocean, he hadn’t seen the coastline again. Therefore, he was wary the first time he saw the coastline from afar.
Fishing boats, nuclear sewage, oil… where there is land, there is danger. This had become Wen Chu’s conditioned reflex.
He asked the system, and the system ignored him, only silently guiding him. Helplessly, Wen Chu stopped what he was doing with Xiu to verify with Xiu.
Now with Xiu’s confirmation, Wen Chu was relieved.

“That’s great. I’ll hurry up and take you to the Arctic. Let’s continue.”

Xiu: ?!??
Continue?
Xiu was really a bit afraid of being fucked. He reached out to block his scales, preventing the sticky tentacles from drilling in.

Wen Chu looked at Xiu covering his scales with both hands and showed a puzzled look: “Uncomfortable? I’ll heal you.”

“No.” Xiu shivered.
He now had PTSD for the word “heal”.
Every time he was healed by Wen Chu, he would only recover as before for a moment, then be fucked again. Even because of abundant energy and the body returning to youth again, he had to finish again and again in the more violent sea of lust.
Simply another kind of bullying named healing.

“Oh…” Wen Chu stopped the tentacle healing Xiu obediently and reached out to push away Xiu’s hands covering the scales.
Xiu didn’t want healing, then continue without healing.
Although he didn’t understand, he respected it.

Seeing the scales about to eat the tentacle again, Xiu hurriedly grabbed Wen Chu’s tentacle to stop: “Wait.”
Meeting Wen Chu’s strange gaze, Xiu spat out words similar to softening with difficulty: “…Let me rest for a while first.”
Did he have to speak so clearly to be understood?

Wen Chu finally understood: “Okay, are you too tired from mating with me? Then I’ll heal you without touching you.”
As Wen Chu spoke, the trailing note carried a pleasant upward curve.

Xiu looked at Wen Chu suspiciously, obviously not believing Wen Chu could have such a good heart.
Wen Chu was immersed in the joy that he actually tired Xiu out, looking at Xiu with shining eyes: “Need it?”

Xiu: …
What on earth was Wen Chu inexplicably excited about alone?
He barely opened his mouth: “Yes.”

With Xiu’s permission, Wen Chu quickly transferred ten hours of Lifespan points to him.
The merfolk’s scales recovered to their original state.
But only on the surface. Xiu looked down and could clearly see his slightly protruding lower abdomen—everything was locked inside with the closing of the scales.

Wen Chu lifted his slender wrist, put his hand on his arm, looking him up and down like looking at some rare animal.
Until Xiu uncomfortably wanted to scold back asking what Wen Chu was looking at, Wen Chu finally spoke.
Wen Chu: “Then do you need me to feed you?”

Xiu: ?

Wen Chu thought he didn’t understand, gesturing with tentacles and hands: “Just like you fed me, I feed you too. Um… I can also make the bed for you to sleep.”

Xiu’s ears heated up listening: “Shut up.”
He finally understood Wen Chu’s meaning, interrupting Wen Chu fiercely: “I was just fucked by you, not broken limbs.”

Wen Chu was blank: “But you took care of me like this before, and I didn’t break my limbs either?”

Xiu: …
He couldn’t reason with Wen Chu.
If he couldn’t reason, he simply stopped talking.
Wen Chu’s healing effect was immediate. Xiu’s fatigue was swept away. He pulled the still confused jellyfish down directly.
Lips and tongues entangled.

 Xiu hummed a laugh, tone very bad: “Do it quickly. Don’t you still have to save ninety-nine years of Lifespan?”

Wen Chu didn’t do it immediately but paused again after hearing “Lifespan points.”
He looked at Xiu, verifying for the last time: “Is Lifespan points really that important?”

“Otherwise? If it wasn’t important, would I let you do it?” Xiu raised an eyebrow at him with an expression of “are you stupid”.

Wen Chu stopped talking and silently extended his tentacles.
He knew it; Xiu only liked his Lifespan points. If he knew earlier, he wouldn’t have asked.
The scales ate the tentacles again.
Xiu couldn’t control his voice, lowering his head unwilling to let Wen Chu see his confused and lustful appearance. This way, he happened to see how his lower abdomen was pushed out into a curve by the tentacles.
The things originally locked deep were also stirred because of this, setting off stormy waves.
…Why is Wen Chu’s doing style completely unlike his appearance?
Such a thought flashed through Xiu’s mind.
Before he even had time to delve into it, he was robbed of all reason by Wen Chu again.

Wen Chu lowered his eyes, looking down at the golden-haired merfolk curled up from being fucked.
He rarely looked at Xiu from this angle. Most of the time, Xiu looked down at him, and he looked up at Xiu as a jellyfish attached to Xiu.
When he was a little jellyfish, Xiu appeared incredibly tall. Just the chest was like a small hill to him.
Now he could cover it with two hands.

Thinking this, Wen Chu reached out to cover the small hill.
Soft, feeling the same as Xiu’s current belly.
Wen Chu couldn’t help pinching it.

Answering him was Xiu’s violent trembling. The merfolk looked up at him in astonishment, seemingly unable to imagine he would use his hands to do such a heinous thing.

Wen Chu remembered that eating here before could add three hours of Lifespan at once.
At that time, he was still cheering for being able to add three hours of Lifespan. As a tiny jellyfish, he could nest in Xiu’s palm or lie on Xiu’s shoulder. Xiu didn’t know what effect his Lifespan points had yet, so his attitude towards him was exceptionally bad.

 Except for the accidental time after turning into a human, he nibbled twice, and Xiu only allowed him to eat his tongue tip.
Wen Chu looked at the Lifespan points rising by 98 hours on the Lifespan panel.

 The contrast was sharp.

 Sure enough, he had to become a jellyfish useful to Xiu to do more things to Xiu.
…Even if not lovers.
Wen Chu suddenly felt a lump in his throat.
Probably a little thirsty.

 Wen Chu opened his mouth slightly, lowering his head to bite the place Xiu never allowed him to eat.
He was saving Lifespan points for Xiu. Xiu wouldn’t be angry if he nibbled a bit, right?

 Warm oral cavity covered.
Xiu trembled even more violently.
He could still pretend not to see the movement at the scales, but Wen Chu was buried in his chest at this time. Even if he didn’t look down, his peripheral vision could glimpse how the other was sucking him like an unweaned child.

 This was too shameful.
Xiu wanted to push Wen Chu away, but his hands were so weak they had almost no strength. When lifted laboriously and landing on Wen Chu’s head, it was already as light as a caress.
Wen Chu thought Xiu wanted to pet him, rubbed his head against Xiu’s palm, and ate more seriously.
Why didn’t he discover it before?
Xiu tasted soft and bouncy too.

…
The result of personally inviting Wen Chu to fuck him was that Xiu only rested briefly for less than two minutes, and for the next two full days, he never came down from Wen Chu again.
Even the night’s rest was gone.
Xiu was muddled most of the time. When occasionally sober, he saw Wen Chu’s face, and the first feeling was that his belly was so bloated.

He called stop during sober moments, wanting Wen Chu to at least let him clean up. But Wen Chu seemed to have some obsession with his belly; as soon as he mentioned this topic, he would be healed again.
Let alone cleaning up, Xiu even had his reason smashed to pieces.

Finally, in the morning of the next day, they arrived at the Bering Strait.
[Remaining Lifespan: 99 Years 27 Days 19 Hours]

The moment they stepped into the Bering Strait, Wen Chu’s fluctuating Lifespan points finally reached ninety-nine years.
As the system said, Lifespan points stopped dropping after reaching ninety-nine years.
Having saved enough Lifespan points, Wen Chu stopped moving.
He looked at Xiu, who was still eating his tentacles.
Xiu’s belly protruded to the point where he had to support it with his hands, as if he were really pregnant with an egg. His chest was eaten into a mess.
The lofty god, with such a big belly, having his scales pried open by his tentacles, the pink inside turning bright red.

Wen Chu felt a bit guilty. He carefully circled Xiu with tentacles, hugging the other down from his tentacles.

He had eighteen tentacles. Doing it once with Xiu was only one-eighteenth of a time for him. Therefore, Wen Chu could only feel he was eaten comfortably, and the tentacles wouldn’t give him “tired” feedback at all.
Now seeing Xiu done like this, he realized he seemed to be a little bit excessive.

Xiu looked at Wen Chu blankly, gaze focusing little by little.
Without Wen Chu’s tentacles, his scales finally could spit out things that didn’t belong to him.
Scales wide open, spitting intermittently, looking so pitiful.

“Wen Chu…” Xiu called him with a dry throat.
Wen Chu subconsciously wanted to heal Xiu, tentacles touching Xiu’s waist and abdomen.
Xiu misunderstood his meaning, thinking he wanted to continue, reaching out again to cover his scales.
“Wait…”
The merfolk endured fucking for two days and one night, finally realizing the mistake of being stubborn, pressing his lips: “Really can’t anymore. Let me rest for a while… five minutes is enough.”
His reproductive cavity was about to turn into the shape of a tentacle.

Wen Chu didn’t want to continue, so he didn’t explain, just putting his tentacles on.
Xiu thought his persuasion failed, closing his eyes helplessly, ready to welcome the next storm.
Even at this point, he didn’t mean to refuse Wen Chu at all.
However, the scales didn’t eat the expected tentacles.

Xiu only felt touched lightly by Wen Chu’s tentacles, and then a familiar lightness came from his body.
He opened his eyes abruptly and saw Wen Chu looking at him seriously: “Xiu, I saved enough ninety-nine years of Lifespan.”

Ninety-nine years?
Xiu paused, digging out his original purpose from the muddled memory of being done—helping Wen Chu save ninety-nine years of Lifespan.

“So…”
“So we stop doing it.” Wen Chu proposed proactively, thinking himself obedient. “Do you want to clean up? I will turn my back.”
He actually wanted to continue, but Xiu was eaten so miserably by him.
Obviously enduring him because of Lifespan points. Now without the reason of “saving Lifespan points,” Wen Chu wasn’t willing to take advantage of the fish’s precarious position.
He wanted Xiu to mate with him willingly, to be a responsible jellyfish.

Xiu blinked in a trance.
He once thought he would be fucked to death by Wen Chu, unexpectedly really let off by Wen Chu.

 Wen Chu also looked at him with innocent big eyes.
Xiu looked away, suddenly feeling his thoughts were dirty.
In Wen Chu’s view, their relationship was probably just rescue. How could a little jellyfish who didn’t even understand love have sexual desire for him, a merfolk.
Xiu turned his head away: “Turn your back.”

Wen Chu thus let go of Xiu. Before he had time to turn around, he saw the merfolk who had been hugged and fucked for three days falling straight down.
Wen Chu hurried to grab Xiu, fishing the other up again.
“What’s wrong with you?”

Xiu moved his tail stiffly. Even though the scales had recovered, the stuff contained inside made him unable to swim as usual.
But the biggest problem now wasn’t even these things.
Xiu looked at his belly, reaching out tentatively.
The belly was too big; he couldn’t reach his scales.

Xiu: …

 Shouldn’t have agreed to let Wen Chu shoot inside.
The merfolk held the belly abruptly appearing on tight muscles, tail stiff, looking up at Wen Chu.

 Wen Chu had a pair of azure eyes, clear as the unpolluted ocean.
His beauty was too pure, so much so that meeting Wen Chu’s eyes like this, Xiu couldn’t find a trace of distracting thoughts in the other’s eyes.

 As if he was really treated as a kind-hearted fish for rescue by Wen Chu.
It was originally like this; he had been emphasizing this repeatedly.
But at this moment, Xiu had a trace of imperceptible, indescribable thought of going further.

“…Can’t reach.” He whispered.

“What?” Wen Chu didn’t hear clearly.

Xiu curled his tail tip, giving up on dignity: “I said, you made my belly too big; I can’t reach.”

Wen Chu was dumbfounded: “Then what to do?”
He indeed had a little bad intention, deliberately making Xiu’s belly big, but never thought of making Xiu big-bellied forever?

Xiu looked at Wen Chu’s blank appearance, waving his tail in anger.

 He didn’t know if Wen Chu was really stupid or pretending.
Xiu gave up being roundabout, pulling Wen Chu down and saying directly: “What else can be done? You hurry up and help me open it.”
“You have to be responsible for getting someone’s belly big, little jellyfish.”
