Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 359 The Bride of the Sea God (18)

Si Lan observed her expression and, seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, felt a little relieved.

“Just know that he’s not human. Liking animals will not end well,” Si Lan said. “Also, don’t devote too much energy and emotion to him. Mermaids can’t live long away from the sea. He will die in two years at most.”

Yan Zhen paused for a moment, then nodded: "I know."

Although she received Yan Zhen's affirmative answer, Si Lan was still somewhat annoyed: "It's also my fault for overestimating you. You've always been a soft-hearted person... I shouldn't have given Nolan to you."

Her younger sister had developed a deep affection for the fish, and she could already imagine how heartbroken her sister would be when Nolan died two years later.

But now she won't let me take this fish away.

Si Lan sighed, then instructed Yan Zhen to make sure Nolan wore the electronic collar, before getting into the car and leaving.

Yan Zhen watched the car disappear into the distance and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned and walked to the villa entrance, pushed the door open, and saw Nolan squatting behind the iron gate.

His crouching position and distance allowed him to hear everything she and Si Lan were saying clearly.

Yan Zhen paused slightly, then casually rubbed his head: "Eavesdropping on other people's conversations isn't a good habit, you know."

Nolan was clearly bothered by what Si Lan said, and her expression was not good. She took the opportunity to grab Yan Zhen's hand and bite the back of her hand.

The moment his teeth touched Yan Zhen's skin, Yan Zhen felt a chill run down his spine, a sense of terror as if he had fallen into the jaws of a beast.

But the expected excruciating pain did not come. Nolan, as if to frighten her, gently ground a small patch of skin on the back of her hand with his teeth before releasing it.

Then he looked up at her with a furrowed brow, his face practically screaming "I'm unhappy" and "Hurry up and comfort me."

Yan Zhen: "..."

Si Lan was right about one thing: mermaids are indeed very cunning.

And Nolan is really good at pushing his luck.

The matter was finally resolved when Yan Zhen gave Nolan three ice creams—Nolan squatted in front of the refrigerator eating ice cream, and Yan Zhen squatted next to him to unpack the ice cream for him.

After finishing an ice cream, Nolan suddenly asked, "What are sex toys?"

Yan Zhen: "...Children shouldn't ask such questions."

"But your sister says I'm your sex toy."

"That's not true, don't listen to her." Yan Zhen placed the torn ice cream in his hand, ending the topic. "I'm going to take a shower."

After a whole day and most of the night, she was exhausted.

After taking a change of clothes, Yan Zhen reminded Nolan to soak in the fish tank before entering the bathroom.

She was worried that his skin would have problems after he was out in the sun today.

Nolan agreed verbally, but his gaze followed Yan Zhen to the bathroom door, and he only looked away after the bathroom door closed.

After finishing his ice cream in a few bites, Nolan immediately stripped off the clothes that had confined him all day, then jumped into the pool in the yard and swam several laps to his heart's content.

He was splashing and playing in the water when suddenly his cell phone rang in the living room.

Soon, Yan Zhen's voice came from the bathroom: "Nolan, help me see who called."

Nolan climbed ashore, soaking wet, and walked into the living room. After searching for a while, he finally found that the phone ringing was coming from Yan Zhen's bag, which he had casually tossed onto the sofa.

He picked up his bag and rummaged around, but couldn't find his phone. So he simply dumped everything inside onto the sofa, and then his gaze sharpened.

The bag was filled with a lot of random things: car keys, sunglasses, tissues, cosmetics, cell phone, two vials of red syringes, and an electronic collar.

Nolan recognized the injection; he had personally witnessed researchers injecting it into other mermaids when he was first brought ashore and imprisoned in the research institute.

Once injected with this substance, the mermaid will be forced to differentiate and enter estrus, losing all rationality and focusing solely on mating.

At this point, if you put an electronic collar on the mermaid, they will become obedient sex toys, completely at the mercy of humans.

Asaya was controlled in this way by that woman named Si Lan.

Nolan picked up the electronic collar and looked into the bathroom again, his eyes filled with coldness.

Before he came ashore, the clan chief told him that if he disguised himself as a B-grade mermaid and entered the human world, there was a certain probability that humans would raise him as a sex toy.

All he had to do was please humans and do everything he could to gain their trust.

He had made the mental preparation to become a plaything of humans.

Merfolk are inherently freedom-loving, and he loathed being imprisoned and even more so, he resented being controlled in this way by cruel humans.

So when Si Xia denied that he was a plaything, he was happy and believed her.

He believed she wouldn't force herself to do something she didn't want to do.

But she lied.

If she didn't see herself as a plaything, why would she have something like that in her bag?

She's no different from those despicable humans!

Thinking about this, Nolan felt a deep anger at being deceived.

He grabbed the phone and squeezed it hard, causing the phone to twist and deform, and the screen went black.

After Yan Zhen finished showering, Nolan returned to the fish tank at some point, developed a long tail fin, and hid at the bottom of the tank, sleeping with his eyes closed.

Yan Zhen keenly sensed that something was wrong with him, and while drying his hair, she walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Nolan turned around, facing her with his fishtail, and didn't say anything.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Nolan still ignored her.

Yan Zhen didn't know what she had done to offend him, but seeing that he didn't seem uncomfortable, she didn't pay much attention to him and turned to find her phone.

Then I found the phone on the sofa, which had been crumpled up like dough.

She picked it up and took a look, and was immediately at a loss for words, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Holding his phone, Yan Zhen walked up to the fish tank and asked, "Did you do this?"

Nolan remained motionless.

Yan Zhen moved a stool over and climbed to the top of the fish tank, then started to bother him: "Nolan, come up here."

Nolan didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but Yan Zhen kept calling for more than ten minutes. Nolan got annoyed by the harassment and reluctantly surfaced to glare at her.

Yan Zhen wasn't annoyed by his attitude. She took his hand and opened her palm to examine it.

Nolan paused for a moment, then asked, "What are you doing?"

"It's good that your hand is okay." After checking, Yan Zhen took out his phone to show him. "The phone screen is made of glass. You can break it with your bare hands and hurt yourself. Don't do that next time you're angry. You can buy another phone if it's broken, but if you hurt your hand, you'll be the one who suffers."

Nolan: "..."

After giving his reminder, Yan Zhen jumped off the stool and went back to his room to sleep.

Nolan lay on top of the fish tank, watching her figure disappear into the bedroom doorway, his eyes filled with deep thought.

Yan Zhen slept until three o'clock in the afternoon, feeling as if a huge rock was pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

She had to open her eyes, and was immediately stunned by what she saw.

Nolan crawled into her bed, sat naked on her, wearing an electronic collar around his neck, and awkwardly tried to unbutton her pajamas.

Three buttons on her pajamas were undone, revealing glimpses of her cleavage.

"What are you doing?" Yan Zhen immediately pushed him away and sat up.
