Chapter 76
  g5M4ua
 After dragging and stuffing Agares’s heavy and long body into my narrow living space, I locked the door tightly and even had my window covered with a bed sheet to prevent others from discovering that I had hidden an astonishingly well built male Mermaid in here. This was a highly important matter. Though right now, I don’t have the time to think whether Agares’s sudden actions of getting onto the ship had alarmed any one or not since all my attention are focused solely on his body<b>—<b>  </b></b>
 
  I don’t know how to describe his injuries. On his chest and abdomen, there are just so many small black and purple spots on the skin. They appear to gather together, and are swelling from the inside, seeping out black inky water. In contrast to his pale skin, it shockingly resembles poisonous Devil Snares flower blossoming one after another. It was a ghastly sight.

And his silver gray hair was like being tainted by dark kerosene oil with even the end of his hair dyed black. Agare’s eyes were only half closed, and the gloomy lights of the pupils in his eyes were flickering in and out, appearing somewhat half awake. However, his breathing was gradually becoming intermittent, like a candle that was about to burn out. 
 
”Agares!” I grabbed his cheeks, calling out to him a few times, but other than the sound of breathing, I didn’t get a response from him. A huge wave of panic hit my heart and almost made me unable to breathe, but I realized that I was Agares’s only support at this time. No one else could help him but me, so I had to try to stay calm. I took a deep breath and squatted down to listen to his heartbeat. The movement in his chest was very weak, to the point where I could count the frequency of his heart beating clearly, which immediately made my heart tie into a knot.”

I have learned this one basic first aid measure. I don’t know if it will be any use for merfolk, but there is obviously no other way at the present time. I leveled Agares’s body and head flat on the ground, then I used the chest compression method first, pumping at his chest repeatedly. I carefully controlled my strength with my fisted hand trembling ever so much. After doing it for some time, I cupped his head preparing to give him rescue breaths. My God, artificial respiration for a mermaid. Oh, even I think it’s ridiculous! My god, giving rescue breathartificial respiration to a merman! Even I thought this was ridiculous!
 
But Agares was in need of this. I opened my mouth to take in a breath of air, and held up his nape to have his chin lifted up to open his airway. Next, I pinched his nose, before tightly covering my lips over his, blowing in the breath, and then repeated the process unceasingly. After not knowing how many times I already lowered my head, I suddenly notice Agares’s eyes widening up. That pair of dead black eyes was staring at me eerily.

  I  let out a shiver, and upon realizing something was wrong, I instinctively backed away, however it was too late as my back was already blocked by a wet webbed claw. He pulled me firmly down onto his wet and satiny body. I immediately struggled to get up, but my legs were tightly coiled around by his thick, solid fishtail and my face ended up pressing against Agares’s sinister looking face. I saw that he suddenly opened his mouth, and from between his lips and teeth, a long black tongue stretched out like a crawling lizard, and came straight toward the narrow opening of my mouth. 
 
  “No
.Agares! Don’t get yourself controlled
.” Turning pale, I attempted to evade the thing in fright, but under the pressure of his hand I was unable to move my head and could only crane my neck up a bit. His sharp webbed claws pinched at my jaw, compelling me to open my mouth in pain, and the second my teeth opened up, a slippery object suddenly tunneled in between the gap at once. I couldn’dit help but retch out a whimper.

  Instinctively, I looked down and saw that the scale membrane on Agares’s lower abdomen had opened up at some time. What was exposed  was not his proud hard object, but a mass of thick stems that resembles octopus tentacles. One of them had invaded my mouth at this time, while the others were twisting their way into my trouser legs!

  He didn;t answer me, and just used his webbed claws to touch the solidifying bloods between my legs. His mouth thinned into a line, the muscles around his lips twitched slightly, and there were complex emotions in his eyes: self-blame, distress, and pain all mixed together.

Those black spots thereupon swelled up with black ink like water permeating out from beneath his skin. I realized that cause might be the strong fluctuation of emotions and I hurriedly cup his cheeks, whispering, “Hey, don;t be like this
. Calm down. I just shed a little blood, it’s nothing serious. The injuries will soon heal itself, don’t I have your genes?”

  “Temporarily lock me up, Desharow.” Agares stared at me, opened his mouth, and started with a low voice.  I looked at him, and there in his eyes held the warning of not daring to neglect any longer. I immediately found a long thick chain in the cabin that was to be used for anti-theft, and tied his fishtail firmly to the railing beside the bed. After that, I also binded his arms with the nylon rope that tied the sonar detector underwater, before my gaze  focused on his lower abdomen.
 
  How should I deal with that weird thing? Is that what it became after his variation? Recalling the scene just now, I stretched forward a hand despite my trembling panics. Agares looked down at me, remaining silent, as if he acquiesced me to check. Boldly, I carefully opened the slit on his scale membrane and saw that the thing inside was the same shape as I had seen before. After seeing that, I subconsciously grabbed it and gave it a light caress. Only then did I let out a breath of relief.

  Thank goodness, otherwise it would be miserable in the future. I touched my painful buttocks that seemed to split into four petals and shuddered. I took a peek up at Agares like a sneaky thief. He seemed to finally break away from his extreme tension state. His eyes were half lidded, and between the long and narrow cracks, a gleam of faint light captured me. In a small joking manner, the corner of  his mouth hooked up.
 
  “I’m just making sure that thing was still there.” I coughed uneasily, and used my hand to gently sweep across the visible black blotch occupying his skin. “How should I deal with these things
.Agares? Just now, I saw my blood being absorbed by your body and you instantaneously recovered. Do I need to use more blood
 ” 
  ”Don’t do that!” Agares responded in a low voice, struggled against his binded arm a bit and stared at me for fear that I might actually act. “Cut my skin open and release them.” V41y8W
 
  My heart palpitated, I looked at his body, although I was worried, I had to do it. After I found a dagger in the drawer and disinfected it with a lighter, I took a few deep breaths and cautiously cut him like a surgeon. After the skin with black spots was cut into, black liquid gurgled out. However, upon contacting the air, it evaporated like ethanol alcohol, leaving no trace on Agares’s body, except for the several hand-made sloppy incisions that resembled hideous grinning mouth, cruelly smiling at the miserable situation of the merfolk’s great senior leader that he’s in now.  . 
 
Agares seemed to be lying there as though ignorant to the pain. Even if there was pain, he didn’t make any sound. His eyes were just closed, his cold face, like a plaster cast, was as immovable and calm, however you could still see the tiny beads of sweat on his face. n0Ey8u
 
  After I finished purging out the black water on the last cut, Agares stiff body suddenly relaxed, and his breathing became smooth and long. It was as if he fell into a deep slumber after a long exhausting battle. 
 
I didn’t try to wake him up, and like a reliable male nurse responsible for the follow-up healing process, I let him enjoy my pacifying comfort to the greatest extent. There were groups of growing thorns and thistles in my heart. Only by completely indulging in his scent could I be relieved of this uncomfortable feeling. I carefully licked every inch of his wound, from top to bottom, every piece of intact skin, even his lower abdomen was not let go. ncxK24
 
  I was glad that he fell asleep at this time. It let me feel less apprehensive and allowed me to let go of my despicable self-esteem and indulge in my greed. I’ve never thought that there could’ve been any potentially hidden infatuation within my body. If I ever meet my former self, I would’ve definitely be laughed at by him. But I fell in love with this guy, so else what could I do?

  As I was thinking recklessly to myself, I suddenly felt Agares’s tail moved slightly, “What are you doing
. You little pervert?”  BRpq4o
 
  I raised my eyelids to see Agares awake since who knows when. His eyes squinted at the mouth I pasted on his scales. His somewhat restless thing had already straightened up. I felt my cheek heated up, but I didn’t intend to avoid it. I stuck out my tongue and licked the top of it, grinning, “Do you like this?” 
 
  His fishtail swayed restlessly among the chains again. His throat rolled as he swallowed, his breathing became heavy once more, but he closed his eyes, forcing himself to endure, and spoke in a gloomy and hoarse whisper, “I will hurt you, Desharow.”  gj96JL
 
  My ass that I forgotten about began to hurt again. I jolted up like I was electrocuted. Agares, once again opened his eyes and his gaze fixated on me, “Come here.” 
 
  “Oh.” I knelt down on the bedside and laid on the side of his body.  I acted so obediently that even I found it unfathomable. He leaned his head over, the tip of his nose hovered over my lips first, then he came upon me with a kiss. 4FPAOE
