Chapter 1027: Chapter 757: Mating Season (2)

Liu Ye lay on the bed with his clothes on, and Shen Tang lay beside him.

The bed in the sleeping palace was large, with a small distance separating the two of them as they lay on the same bed.

Shen Tang watched the sleeping man beside her.

His eyes were closed, with long, dense eyelashes, a tall and jade-white nose, beautifully curved lips, moist and pink, seemingly very kissable.

Compared to Xiao Jin, who was wild and masculine, he had a touch of gentleness and nobility.

Every inch of his features seemed painstakingly carved by God, without a hint of flaw, like the creator’s favorite masterpiece, making people unable to resist the fascination just by looking.

Aware of the gaze beside him, the man’s lashes trembled slightly.

Though he appeared to be sleeping soundly, a touch would reveal the subtle tension in his muscles, his whole body strung tight, as if lying beside him was not a loving partner but a vigilant enemy.

"Jia Lan" ... more accurately, Liu Ye, although he disguised as Jia Lan, his mindset was different, so how could he perfectly disguise?

Short-term deception might not pose much difficulty for him.

But over time, even he would find it unbearable to continue the act.

Liu Ye was meticulous and alert, having ascended as the Sea Queen, with various factions sending beauties his way, including spies and assassins.

He never allowed others to share his bed; he used spiritual power to mesmerize them directly.

This time, unexpectedly, he truly shared a bed with a female who wholeheartedly wanted to kill him. How could he truly sleep at ease?

Even if he temporarily deluded Shen Tang, there remained the risk of her waking, posing a great threat.

He closed his eyes deeply, trying to make his breathing appear calm, silently thinking: It’s just lying on the bed for one night, that’s all.

This time, it was difficult to refuse. He would find a reason later to stabilize her.

Just need to endure through the night.

Liu Ye initially thought the night would pass peacefully, but a soft, sweet female voice sounded in his ear, with a hint of coquettishness:

"Ah Lan, hold me."

Liu Ye’s breath faltered, unable to continue the façade, then he opened his eyes, stunned with disbelief, "Tangtang, what did you say?"

Shen Tang pouted her rosy lips, looking up at him with a bit of discontent, "Why don’t you look happy? In the past, you would embrace me without me even asking! Now, after finally reuniting, I feel... you’re colder than before?"

She sniffed, feigning a pitiful look, her eyes red as she glared at him, looking as pitiful as could be.

Liu Ye’s heart involuntarily clenched softly.

He coughed lightly, covering his explanation, "Nothing of the sort, Tangtang, you’re overthinking. I just woke up, not quite adjusted yet."

As he spoke, he gently wrapped his arm around the female’s slender waist, appearing tender as he held her in his embrace.

However, having had many intimate encounters with Jia Lan, Shen Tang naturally noticed the difference.

This embrace was distant, lacking warmth, like mechanically repeating a gesture.

Shen Tang thought to herself that she was initially careless, her mind clouded with surprise and excitement, missing those minor details. Now, knowing Liu Ye’s true face, she easily sensed something was amiss.

He was too stiff and indifferent.

Jia Lan was proud and shy, yet also domineering, especially when they were alone, always gentle and eager as if wishing to always cling to her!

And Liu Ye at this moment, his embrace was devoid of warmth, even making her feel a chill, her body instinctively rejecting, forcing her to suppress a slight tremor.

Nonetheless, a full performance was necessary!

Shen Tang gritted her teeth, not allowing this opportunity to fail, suppressing all emotions within her, she nestled gently in his arms.

She blinked those enchanting, moist eyes, gazing at him with deep love, speaking longingly and nostalgically:

"Ah Lan, kiss me."

Liu Ye’s body stiffened slightly, without response.

Shen Tang pushed him away, propped herself up and stared at him, her eyes veiled in clouds of grievance, angry and sad, "You won’t even kiss me now! You’ve changed! No wonder there are so many beauties in the palace. You’ve already changed your heart, right? The words you said were merely to placate me."

"Of course not, I love only you! They have nothing to do with me, I haven’t touched them." Liu Ye sincerely coaxed.

His latter statement was indeed truthful; he hadn’t moved those females, merely imposing a bit of illusion.

"I don’t believe you!"

The little female’s eyes, as beautiful as stars and the moon, glistened with tears, as though betrayed by a heartless man.

She lightly bit her lip, speaking coquettishly and childishly, "Then kiss me!"

"Kiss me once, and I’ll believe you, forgive you."

Her voice was soft and tender, with a hint of clinginess, as she leaned closer once more, the sweet scent enveloping their breaths, enough to awaken desires buried deep in the male’s heart.

Liu Ye’s Adam’s apple moved up and down, his breathing somewhat heavy.

He inhaled the rich, intoxicating scent from the female, and his heart seemed to skip a beat, his mind momentarily lost.

No.

He couldn’t let himself be easily seduced by this female like that fool.

He absolutely would not allow himself to lose control a second time.

Liu Ye detested this feeling of emotional loss of control. He forced himself to sober up, attempting to find a reason to pull away—

The female leaned in and kissed his lips.

The cold, intense fragrance exploded like a wave!

Boom!

Liu Ye suddenly widened his blue eyes, his breath halting.

Her lips were as soft as cotton candy, exuding a honey-like scent, gently pressing against his cool lips.

The tender tip of her tongue, like a kitten licking...

His cold, stiff body was suffused with an unbearable heat, his body reacting to desire!

The female’s lips touched his like a dragonfly skimming the water, then immediately withdrew.

He actually felt a trace of regret, even a strong urge to pull the female back into his arms, and punish her fiercely!

Yet the female released him.

Liu Ye snapped back from his shocked state, seemingly trying to say something, but could only utter—

"Let’s rest."

His words were caught in his throat, and he swallowed them back with difficulty.

The indescribable agitation was like suddenly being plugged, leaving him uncomfortably suspended and lightly throbbing at the forehead, painfully restrained.

"...Alright, it was a hard task for you this time. Rest well, I’ll stay here with you." Liu Ye took a deep breath, trying to maintain calm, his gentle voice carrying a hint of hoarseness.

Shen Tang rested her head against his chest, a sly satisfaction flashed in the depths of her eyes.

She naturally felt the changes in the man’s body.

Trying to play pretend, huh? Fine, let’s see how long you can keep this act.

Shen Tang resented that she’d just kissed this damned man, wishing she could rub her lips raw.

But on second thought, she was going to take back this body sooner or later, so she might as well enjoy a little affection with her Beast Husband! In this light, her resentment seemed to lessen.

Everything was for the plan!

Hmph, she was determined to make this damned man taste the flavor of revenge!

...

The night deepened, in the deep sea it’s hard to observe the passage of day and night, but the nighttime sea seemed even quieter than usual.

Liu Ye lay flat on the bed, his heart restless.

The sleeping female in his arms appeared innocent as a young beast without any defenses, cuddling softly in his warmth.

Even his cold body seemed to be imbued with some gentle warmth.

Liu Ye’s expression shifted, losing the gentle, harmless facade of the day, a hint of sinister cruelty emerging from his deep blue eyes. His arm around the female’s waist subtly tightened, dark blue scales faintly appearing on the back of his hand.

He let her live and went through this elaborate charade just to deceive Shen Tang into using her Healing Ability to help him heal.

Now that he had recovered, Shen Tang was of no further use.

Liu Ye was very aware that his spiritual power was not invincible, and Shen Tang’s own spiritual talent was not weaker than his; exposure was inevitable.

She was a constant threat poised to erupt.

To prevent further incidents, killing her was the safest course.

Liu Ye’s eyes flickered with ruthless resolution, his slender, jade-like fingers suddenly sprouted sharp nails, poised to strike—

The female within his arms lightly nuzzled against him, murmuring softly,

"Mmm, I miss you so much..."

"I really like you..."

His hand abruptly paused, frozen in mid-air.
