The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 91

“Dicken, wait! You’re hurt, don’t be impulsive! “

Even though I knew there was no way I could stop him, I still inadvertently clutched his arm.

It was then that I noticed that the long hair cascading on his back had blood dripping from it. It must’ve

been a severe wound considering it was bleeding like that.

I hadn’t noticed it before because the night was dark, and his hair had concealed the wound.

Suddenly, the pain from my wound caused by the pelican eel’s bite flared up. It was either because I

was reminded of it from seeing Dicken’s wound or that I was only now able to react. Nonetheless, it

was a sharp pain that was difficult to endure, like a dagger had stabbed straight into my spine. The

stinging pain caused my back to arch forward as I dug my fingernails into my skin to endure it.

‘What’s going on? Why is it suddenly hurting so much?’

I gritted my teeth to withstand it, and I subconsciously desired Dicken’s saliva to heal me. But how

could I ask for that in a situation like this? I couldn’t distract him from the fight, or he would lose the

upper hand.

Therefore, when Dicken turned around to look at me, I reflexively dived into the water, only exposing

my head above it. My wound was submerged into the salty seawater, and my body twitched in pain

from its contact. When my head broke through the water surface, I pretended like everything was fine.

I gritted my teeth to prevent myself from yelling in pain. Then, I stared into Dicken’s eyes and

pretended to be calm as I said, “Dicken, you’re injured. The odds are not in your favor. Could you try

negotiating with that androgynous-looking guy instead?“

I knew my words sounded absurd. The matter of negotiations didn’t exist in the animal kingdom, but I

was hoping that these intelligent creatures could evolve and use a better means of conflict resolution.

I didn’t want Dicken to lose his position at the top of the bunch among his species and be exiled

because of me.

Even so, I knew that being a human, preventing them from fighting was an act against the laws of Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

nature.

Dicken’s eyes bore into mine as they seemed to conceal some sort of complex emotion. After that, he

placed a claw at the nape of my neck and gently lifted my head like he was holding a precious but

fragile piece of treasure.

I cast him an uneasy look as I couldn’t tell what he was thinking. ‘Was he seriously considering my

suggestion, or was he thinking about how naive it is?

But I couldn’t stand the painful sensation from my back any longer, nor could I further control the

twitching of my body. Afraid that my cover would be blown, I could only urge Dicken as I said, ”Hey, did

you hear what I said? Why aren’t you answering me?”

Right when I finished my sentence, the red -haired merman reached the limit of his patience and

released a sharp neigh before advancing several meters toward us. His tail made large splashes on the

water as he approached.

Although he was facing Dicken, his eyes were looking at me teasingly. He then extended an arm and

exposed his claws before seductively wiggling his pointer finger as if he was beckoning me. He stuck

out his tongue and licked his lips, and it was like he was treating me as a prize of the battle.

‘F*ck!’

I felt utterly disgusted as goosebumps rose across my skin. I felt like I was being teased by a perverted

and lustful person. Although I was disgusted, his eyes seemed to carry a spell designed to charm those

who look into it. My eyes couldn’t leave him, and my breathing hastened uncontrollably.

‘Does this mean the eyes of mermen could charm their targets the same way Dicken’s did?’
