The moment he let go, Anâan immediately turned her head back and continued to stare at him.
The young man felt helpless about this. Out of jealousy, he had wanted to tease that merman who could be together with Anâan. But after this episode, he only wanted to get to the seaside as soon as possible.
Thinking this, the young manâs movement speed increased.
For safety, the young man chose a very concealed path. Therefore, he arrived at the seaside three days after Bluepool.
When Bluepool received Anâan, his heart, which had been unsettled for three days, finally calmed down.
âTake it that I owe you a favor. If an opportunity arises in the future, feel free to call for me,â Bluepool said sincerely.
The young man didnât pay any heed to the mermanâs words. He patted Anâanâs head and said, âGoodbye⦠troublemaker.â
After saying that, the young man turned and entered the forest without any hesitation, turning into a snake and slithering off.
Anâan held Bluepoolâs head and took a few glances before resting her chin on his shoulder as if she felt at ease.
Bluepool reached into Anâanâs dress, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, âYou arenât bleeding anymore. Letâs go back.â
Anâan didnât answer him. She just followed Bluepool into the sea, quiet as a doll.
â¦
Since then, Bluepool didnât take another step into the City of Beastmen. He led a quiet life with Anâan, cutting off contact with the rest of the world.
The peaceful days passed by quickly, and over two years were gone. Anâan gradually grew out of her childishness into a young lady with a great figure. She was already 16 years old. According to the age of the females in the beastmen world, she had already turned of age.
She lay on a grass field that had small white flowers blooming, turning her head to look at a flower swaying with the wind. As she looked at it, she suddenly realized that the fine pollen had drifted out from the stamen and was heading toward her face.
Anâan got up as if she was given a shock, dodging it.
That was a male flower. When the pollen landed on a female flower, the female flower would fruit.
She didnât wish to have fruits growing on her.
âWhatâs the matter?â Bluepool ran over immediately, hugging her and looking around. However, he didnât see anything that could harm her.
Anâan was always easily shaken up, and Bluepool had gotten used to it. He kept his arm around her and walked toward the shore.
âWeâll go into the sea today.â
Anâan looked at his face seriously, and curiosity seemed to gleam in her eyes.
Bluepool opened her mouth but wasnât able to say anything. However, a faint flush appeared on his face, and he avoided Anâanâs gaze as he looked straight toward the sea.
After blowing up a bubble by the seaside, Bluepool brought Anâan to the bottom of the sea.
The light rays gradually dimmed. Thankfully, Bluepool was prepared and had placed a massive luminous ball in the bubble.
Anâan started to feel uneasy and held onto the luminous ball with both hands, her face turning toward Bluepoolâs direction.
After submerging for a long time, it became completely dark in the sea, making it hard to see things with human eyes. One would only be able to see a star-like light spot moving in the darkness.
Gradually, an obvious brightness appeared in the darkness. That speck of star was heading straight for the brightness.
Anâanâs eyes opened even wider. Having been in the darkness for so long, her pupils magnified and were able to capture more light. That hint of brightness looked bright as the sun.
She patted on the bubble twice, as if urging Bluepool on. He smiled and said, âWeâll be arriving soon. Thatâs our home in the sea.â
Under Anâanâs body language to urge him to be faster, Bluepool pushed her closer toward the light source.
It was a stone cave that was carefully carved out. It looked small from the outside but was very big on the inside.
There were several tens of palm-sized luminous balls embedded into the walls, and the light rays that leaked out from the entrance were just the tip of the iceberg. It was bright as day in the stone cave.
Even someone as indifferent as Anâan mouthed âwowâ at the instant she came in.
