“Like it.”
Yunyang did not hesitate to praise them.
Her beast husbands were already excellent dancers. Even Rong Jin, who had finished first, had danced with plenty of effort, making himself utterly enticing.
They were far more enjoyable to watch than those suggestive videos online.
“Female Lord, which of us danced the best?”
As Fuyuan spoke, he pretended not to notice as he tugged at his robe.
The mermaid silk was as thin as cicada wings. With the slightest pull, it slipped lower, and the neckline was almost down to his waist.
The robe already had a high slit. Now, it barely covered the essential parts.
Yunyang’s eyes widened, and she swallowed.
If Fuyuan kept tempting her like this, she really would indulge him.
The other five beast husbands would never let the newcomer Fuyuan steal all the attention. They gathered around Yunyang as well.
After their passionate dance, none of their clothes remained properly arranged. One by one, their chests and abs were exposed.
“Female Lord, I’m definitely the one who danced the best, right?”
All six beast husbands fought for her favor.
They could only be favored once a week. Since this was a rare extra opportunity, every one of them wanted to seize it.
As the only husband who had never been favored, Fuyuan was even more eager, repeatedly throwing Yunyang flirtatious glances.
Unlike the other merfolk, whose beauty was often excessively delicate, his appearance was more masculine and natural. His teasing left Yunyang dazed.
At the most inappropriate moment, Yunyang remembered what Yun Conglan had told her—
Merfolk didn’t just have amazing waists. They also all had two of them.
What was she supposed to do when she suddenly felt so tempted?
Yunyang looked over the six beast husbands one by one, then put on a serious expression.
“You all danced very well, but Fuyuan was the best.”
She did have a little bias, but it wasn’t an unfair judgment.
When it came to singing and dancing, the other beast husbands simply couldn’t compete with a merfolk.
The others knew that they could not beat Fuyuan. Though unwilling to accept it, they had no choice but to acknowledge the result.
Fuyuan looked at Yunyang in delighted surprise.
“Then, Female Lord, does that mean tonight I can…”
Was he going to be marked by his Female Lord?
Looking at those bright, deep-blue eyes, Yunyang lifted his chin and rewarded him with a kiss.
“You can rest with me tonight.”
She kissed the other five beast husbands as well. Even Qin Mo, whom she had already kissed once, was not left out—after all, he had genuinely danced twice.
“All right. Go back to your rooms and rest.”
Although they had not won the chance to be favored, the five beast husbands had received a reward and returned to their rooms contentedly.
By now, Yunyang had nearly finished digesting her meal, so she instructed Fuyuan to carry her back to the bedroom.
Fuyuan was so excited that his ear fins trembled as he carried her upstairs.
Yunyang had been completely bewitched by their passionate dancing. It was not until she was in the shower that she remembered the walls surrounding the wooden house were all one-way glass.
With the intelligent identification system in place, the imitation botanical garden remained open twenty-four hours a day. When she had been placed in the bathtub, she had even seen beastmen passing by nearby.
From outside, the one-way glass showed no signs of anything unusual, and the passing beastmen never glanced in this direction.
But Yunyang still felt as though she were bathing out in the wilderness.
She rubbed her hot ears and began to reconsider.
Unfortunately, a merfolk had already climbed into the bathtub with her.
Fuyuan’s cool hand wrapped around her waist.
“Female Lord.”
He called to her in a low voice, then carefully leaned closer and captured Yunyang’s lips.
A moment later, he breached the barrier of her teeth.
Fuyuan could hear his own heartbeat, loud and omnipresent, making his ears ring.
He had wanted to do this in the living room, but with his rivals nearby, he had not dared.
Now that he finally had Yunyang to himself, he wanted to indulge just a little. He did not know whether she would be angry.
Of course, Yunyang was not.
After a long, tangled kiss, the two finally parted, a strand of clear, silvery saliva stretching between them.
Seeing it, Fuyuan was even more embarrassed than Yunyang. Even his ear fins seemed to have taken on a faint pink hue.
“Female Lord, let me wash you.”
Unlike the other beast husbands, when Fuyuan said he would wash her, he meant it literally. He earnestly helped Yunyang cleanse herself, without any unnecessary movements.
The ambiguous atmosphere created by their kiss was broken.
Yunyang stroked the merfolk’s smooth tail and asked directly, “Fuyuan, don’t you want to do something else?”
Fuyuan’s hands paused. His tail pressed against Yunyang’s legs without his control.
He lowered his eyes, not daring to look at her. Even his words came out haltingly.
“F-Female Lord, c-can I?”
Because of the unique nature of the merfolk race, Fuyuan was afraid of frightening Yunyang.
But Yunyang had already experienced that particular trait with Pei Wenye.
She nodded lightly.
With her permission, Fuyuan no longer held himself back. His tail curled around Yunyang’s legs.
The scales in a certain place on the merfolk’s body softened. Even though Yunyang had been prepared, she was still startled into widening her eyes.
It could work even in merfolk form?
Afraid that Yunyang would not be able to bear it, Fuyuan made thorough preparations before officially beginning.
…
Several beastmen passed by the lodging area in twos and threes.
Even though she knew outsiders could not see them, Yunyang still grew nervous.
Fuyuan could only soothe her gently.
“Female Lord, they can’t see us. Don’t be afraid.”
“Mm.”
Yunyang answered in a quiet voice.
·
Yunyang felt that the one-way-glass house was a little too thrilling. Every time someone passed by, she worried that they might be seen.
Fortunately, Fuyuan was patient enough.
The merfolk, finally marked and now thoroughly addicted to the experience, still remembered that Yunyang had to visit the Pei family that morning. He forced himself to finish completely in the middle of the night.
When Yunyang woke up, she contentedly rewarded Fuyuan with a kiss.
“Carry me up.”
“All right.”
Fuyuan carried her into the bathroom and accompanied her as she washed up and changed clothes.
She was visiting the Pei family today, so Yunyang chose something slightly more formal.
The ivory mermaid-tail dress outlined her graceful figure. Its hem was long enough to conceal her ankles.
Over it, she wore an irregular shawl in the same color. Worried that the outfit was too monochromatic, Yunyang chose a pale-blue snowflake brooch set with tiny diamonds as an accent.
She paired it with silver pumps with chunky heels. Beneath the cover of the dress, only the slightly square toes were visible.
Fuyuan murmured, “Female Lord, you’re beautiful.”
Merfolk were naturally drawn to beautiful things, and naturally, they loved beautiful people as well.
“You certainly know how to flatter me.”
Yunyang picked up a white pearl-chain handbag, carrying it in one hand while extending the other toward Fuyuan.
Fuyuan took her hand and walked with her out of the room.
When they reached the stairs, the other beast husbands had already prepared breakfast and were waiting.
At the sound of approaching footsteps, the five beast husbands all turned their heads.
The hem of Yunyang’s mermaid-tail dress puffed slightly. As she walked, it swayed with every step, making each footfall seem to bloom like a lotus.
The five beast husbands stared, completely captivated.
They all strode forward at once, bending down and extending their hands toward Yunyang.
Yunyang glanced at the five men’s outfits and chose Rong Jin, who was wearing his uniform.
After coming downstairs and finishing breakfast, she looked at Fuyuan and Pei Wenye.
“Let’s meet the person in charge of the imitation botanical garden first.”
“All right. I’ll contact him.”
Fuyuan hurriedly opened his optical computer and contacted the person in charge from the day before.
Upon learning that Yunyang was coming, the person in charge meticulously tidied himself from head to toe, afraid of leaving a poor impression on her.
He waited outside the administrative offices for a long time before finally seeing Yunyang arrive with her six beast husbands.
