AWB Chapter 350 The Bride of the Sea God (9)
Chapter 350 The Bride of the Sea God (9)
Yan Zhen looked at the mermaid in the fish tank, her face flushed and her hands gripping the tank wall as she rubbed her body restlessly. Yan Zhen's expression was strange.
She remembered the news Wang Ma had told her: a wealthy woman kept a female mermaid, who then developed legs and seduced her husband. She caught them red-handed on the security camera, and the mermaid even got pregnant…
During this time, Yan Zhen had studied a lot of professional information about mermaids and knew that humans and mermaids were reproductively isolated. So when Wang Ma told her about this, she just thought that the other party had heard a rumor.
In retrospect, this news may not be entirely false.
The female mermaid was most likely induced into estrus and then sexually assaulted by her male owner.
Si Lan put her hand on Yan Zhen's shoulder from behind and whispered in her ear, "How is it? Does it look good?"
Yan Zhen: "..."
From a human aesthetic point of view, the body of this mermaid after it differentiated into a human is very beautiful. Its muscles are well-proportioned and its figure is slender. Its pale skin is clean and delicate, like the finest jade.
"Mermaids have two mating seasons a year, each lasting more than a month. Mermaids of grade B or above have blood that has aphrodisiac effects, and they are animals with very strong desires."
Si Lan said, "Xiaxia, you've grown up. There are some things I might as well tell you. The research institute has been secretly working on a project for over thirty years, which is only provided to the wealthy. It's called the Mermaid Toy."
Yan Zhen didn't reply, but his brows furrowed unconsciously.
Si Lan continued, "This project selects good-looking, docile, and leg-developing B-grade mermaids, trains them into 'toys,' and sells them as pets. These 'toys' are expensive, but as long as they are induced into estrus, their obedient and clingy nature can bring an experience several times more wonderful than that of humans."
Yan Zhen subconsciously looked up at the mermaid in the fish tank.
As time passed, the anger and hatred that had been on its face when it stared at Si Lan disappeared completely, replaced by a bewildered and yearning expression as it was controlled by desire.
Its Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and its gaze followed Si Lan's movements outside the glass tank. Wherever she went, it followed her around the tank.
Si Lan seemed to find it very interesting. She walked around the fish tank twice, teasing it through the tank like she was playing with a puppy.
This scene didn't amuse Yan Zhen; instead, it gave her the creeps. She turned her back and refused to look at the mermaid any longer.
Si Lan noticed her subtle resistance but didn't force her. As she walked out with her arm around her shoulder, she teased her, "I know you can't accept it right away, there's no need to be so surprised. You can think of them as sex dolls sold in stores, except that these things are more expensive and time-consuming to maintain."
Yan Zhen gave a vague reply and picked up the electronic collar on the table: "I have to go back."
Si Lan escorted her to the elevator, thought for a moment, and then said, "The research institute has conducted tests and found that Nolan can differentiate into two legs. Once it is fully developed, you might as well give it a try."
As Si Lan spoke, she opened her bag, stuffed two vials of syringes inside, and said with a meaningful expression, "Maybe this can open the door to a new world."
Yan Zhen: "..."
She finally understood why Si Lan had given her a mermaid as a 20th birthday gift.
Just then, a "ding-dong" sounded, the elevator arrived, the elevator doors opened, and a man in a suit and leather shoes stepped out.
The man, around thirty years old, wore frameless glasses and had a refined demeanor. Upon seeing Yan Zhen and Si Lan, he smiled and said, "President Si, Miss Si."
The moment he spoke, Yan Zhen's brain seemed to be tugged. She, who was originally planning to enter the elevator and go downstairs, immediately turned her head to look at the man—the original owner remembered this voice and had a deep impression of it.
In a previous life, someone claiming to be a "staff member of the New Territories Research Institute" revealed online that the ancient virus was maliciously released by the Si family with the aim of selling vaccines at high prices.
This news led to the Si family and research institute being besieged and vandalized by angry mobs, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.
After the public's requests for vaccines from the research institute went unanswered, some people spread rumors that eating food from institute staff and family members who had already been vaccinated would also prevent viral infection.
Because of this news, the institute's staff and their families were torn apart alive, and the Si family's parents died in a particularly gruesome manner.
Si Lan and Si Xia escaped to the yacht under the escort of bodyguards. However, the yacht's engine was damaged, and a group of people in protective suits rushed onto the yacht and captured Si Lan alive under the command of one of the men.
Although the man's face was obscured by his protective suit, Si Xia remembered his voice.
He looked exactly like the man in front of her, who was smiling as he reported his work to Si Lan.
Perhaps Yan Zhen's gaze was too direct, for the man turned his head to look at her, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Yan Zhen noticed this and immediately adjusted his expression, pretending to be curious as he asked Si Lan, "Sister, who is this?"
“My special assistant,” Si Lan said, “is also a classmate of mine when I was studying abroad. She only returned to China at the beginning of this year.”
Yan Zhen understood; no wonder Si Xia had never seen him before.
The man extended his hand to Yan Zhen and introduced himself: "My name is Wei Shucheng."
Yan Zhen shook hands with him and then asked, "Assistant Wei, did you drive here? Would it be convenient for you to take me back to my place on Changming Street?"
Upon hearing this, not only Wei Shucheng, but even Si Lan looked surprised.
Si Xia is usually quiet and reserved, with a quiet and somewhat introverted personality. She also doesn't like to interact with unfamiliar people.
This was the first time she had ever asked Wei Shucheng, whom she had only met once, to give her a ride.
Wei Shucheng realized what was happening and said, "Okay, but you'll have to wait a moment."
After quickly reporting his work to Si Lan, Wei Shucheng said to Yan Zhen, "Miss Si, let's go."
Under Si Lan's subtle gaze, Yan Zhen and Wei Shucheng went downstairs together.
Wei Shucheng's car was parked downstairs. Yan Zhen got into the passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and while seemingly looking straight ahead, he was actually secretly glancing at Wei Shucheng out of the corner of his eye.
Does Wei Shucheng have a grudge against the Si family?
Why did you incite the masses to kill the Si family in your previous life?
The only people who harbor such hatred towards the Si family are their rivals and the mermaids.
Could he be a mermaid disguised as a human?
S-class mermaids can disguise themselves as B-class mermaids without being detected by humans. Is it possible that Wei Shucheng is an existence that is even higher than S-class, but humans have not yet discovered him?
Yan Zhen had a series of questions in her mind when Wei Shucheng, who was driving, suddenly chuckled softly: "Miss Si, is there anything you want to ask me?"
Yan Zhen: "..."
Caught red-handed secretly observing him, Yan Zhen simply turned his head and stared directly at him, openly scrutinizing him.
My eyes are a normal color and I am not wearing colored contact lenses.
The fingers are the length of a human, and there are no signs of webbing or detachment between the fingers.
The exposed skin on her neck is a normal color, not as white as a mermaid's.
He looks like a normal human male.
Finding nothing amiss, Yan Zhen casually made up an excuse: "Are you dating my sister?"
