CHAPTER 53: Don’t Touch
Sexual content warning.
Under the curtain of night, the pale full moon hung in the sky. Even in this realm outside the laws of the natural world, stars still shimmered faintly in the distance.
Not far away, a clear spring surged and swirled, gradually forming a massive whirlpool that covered the entire water surface. One by one, the others leaped into the whirlpool. When only Ji Lingyue remained, she turned back and asked hesitantly, “Are you really going to stay here forever?”
Qing He nodded, letting out a soft hum of acknowledgment.
Indeed, the exit was within reach. For seven hundred years, she had never thought of leaving this place. How could Ji Lingyue’s words change her mind now?
Ji Lingyue sighed softly and turned away, but Qing He called out, “I noticed earlier… That mermaid you contracted with, she’s the one you love, isn’t she?”
Ji Lingyue’s brows furrowed. “Why… why do you ask?”
Qing He smiled gently. “I’m just curious. If, one day, she were to lose her life, and you were left to wander the world alone… what would you do?”
Ji Lingyue pressed her lips tightly together and after a moment, shook her head. “That won’t happen,” she said with quiet certainty. Her eyes were clear and unwavering. “If she dies, I die too.”
Qing He’s eyes widened in surprise. Ji Lingyue said no more. She turned and leaped into the cold whirlpool.
After a period of violent tumbling, her body suddenly felt light as she sank into the tranquil water. Tiny bubbles floated upwards, and a shadowy figure as dark as mist swam past her, disappearing silently into the depths.
Ji Lingyue remained suspended in the water, waiting until she could no longer see Tuntian’s shadow before forming a hand seal to create a faint glow.
After the small golden light dissipated, she saw a mass of silver, seaweed-like hair. Lan Wu turned around in confusion, but upon seeing Ji Lingyue, she understood what had happened. She swam over and took Ji Lingyue’s hand.
A round bubble enclosed them both. She sighed in relief, complaining. “You took so long! I thought you weren’t coming out and chased after that thing for a while,” she complained.
Ji Lingyue smiled and wrapped her arms around Lan Wu’s neck, nuzzling into her embrace. “Why would I not come out? You’re not there.”
Lan Wu: “Let’s go up.”
“Okay.”
When they emerged from the water, the moon still hung in the tranquil sky. Lan Wu swam towards the shore while saying, “You came out too late. Shanye and the others are probably already ashore. I’ll ask Danqing to find them…”
She suddenly paused, her hand instinctively tightening around Ji Lingyue’s waist. “Don’t move,” she murmured.
Ji Lingyue lifted her head, planting wet kisses from Lan Wu’s neck to her clean chin, then carefully captured her lower lip, murmuring, “We can find them tomorrow…”
Lan Wu narrowed her eyes, pressing Ji Lingyue against a rock on the shore, and asked in a low voice, “Do you remember why we came here?”
Ji Lingyue nodded. “To serve as the lead senior sister and protect my junior disciples to the best of my ability.”
Lan Wu raised an eyebrow. “See? You’re being irresponsible.”
“I couldn’t protect them anyway,” Ji Lingyue mumbled. “I don’t even know where they are.”
Lan Wu couldn’t help but smile, leaning down to kiss her. Her long lashes fluttered as the delicate scales on her jaw gradually faded, her pale body submerged in the water. She pressed against Ji Lingyue, almost completely naked.
Ji Lingyue let out a muffled moan at the kiss, and noticing the transformation of her body, blinked and suddenly said. “Your tail…”
“Hmm?”
“I want your tail,” Ji Lingyue murmured, her gaze locked on Lan Wu’s. “Don’t change it back.”
Lan Wu paused, a hint of uncertainty in her voice. “You… you’re getting stranger and stranger.”
But she had always indulged Ji Lingyue. After a moment of hesitation, she allowed her lower body to remain in its mermaid form, keeping Ji Lingyue pinned beneath her.
Their clothes slipped off, and the cold, hard scales slowly brushed against Ji Lingyue’s delicate skin, pressing against the heated spot between her legs.
With the thick, long tail trailing behind her, Ji Lingyue, who was usually about the same size as Lan Wu, now seemed much smaller. In the embrace of this demon, she looked like fragile porcelain doll that could be manipulated at will. Her skin was as white as jade, and even the slightest movement left angry red marks on her body.
Lan Wu gently moved her tail, the gossamer-like fins spreading out in the water. The wet, silvery scales teased Ji Lingyue’s soft core, eliciting moans as the spot grew wetter. Ji Lingyue whimpered, her arms tightening around Lan Wu’s neck as she instinctively clung to her waist. Her slender legs trembled, swaying in the air with each movement.
“Lan Wu…”
She breathed out the name, her voice thick with desire. Reaching up, she sought Lan Wu’s lips, only to be met with a tender, lingering kiss. Lan Wu’s fingers trailed down her abdomen, slipping through damp hair and slowly stirring in the already slick folds.
Ji Lingyue shuddered, her breath catching in her throat as a soft moan escaped her lips. As a finger slowly breached the tight heat, Lan Wu deepened the kiss. Sensing her ragged breaths, she pulled back slightly, nuzzling her nose into Ji Lingyue’s damp hair.
“Ah… Mmm…”
Ji Lingyue was like a ripe peach, soft and juicy, her skin flushed with desire. Lan Wu slowly curled her fingers, teasing and pressing against the sensitive flesh, drawing out soft moans. Ji Lingyue’s hips instinctively moved to match Lan Wu’s rhythm. The gentle lapping of the water against their bodies amplified their sounds of pleasure, stripping away any remaining inhibitions and allowing her to moan freely.
Ji Lingyue’s erect nipples brushed against Lan Wu’s equally soft skin. Her eyes, hazy with desire, met Lan Wu’s. Bathed in the cool moonlight, the mermaid’s silver hair flowed like a river of stars, her body seemingly glowing with an ethereal light, like the mythical sea creatures in the Book of Strange Creatures.
No, she thought, she is a sea yao…
Ji Lingyue blinked, her mind spinning as she panted into Lan Wu’s ear. “Lan Wu…”
Lan Wu lowered her gaze, quietly watching her.
Ji Lingyue’s pink nipples stood erect. She kissed Lan Wu’s ear, guiding her hand to her own breast. “Touch me…”
Lan Wu hummed in agreement, her hand kneading firmly at Ji Lingyue’s chest. Ji Lingyue contentedly narrowed her eyes, arching into her touch, softly panting with parted lips.
The waves crashed against the rocks, the rhythmic roar of the water almost drowning out the woman’s soft moans. Lan Wu moved her wrist, rhythmically thrusting into Ji Lingyue’s wet and soft depths, tugging out bits of tender flesh that clung to her fingers.
Sticky fluid overflowed from Ji Lingyue’s stretched entrance, turning into milky white foam that made the joining spot a messy mix.
Ji Lingyue clung tighter to Lan Wu’s shoulders as she was repeatedly driven to her deepest parts. She moaned softly, then suddenly clenched her legs, her core contracting as she released a gush of fluid.
At this most sensitive moment, Lan Wu lowered her head and captured Ji Lingyue’s lips in a searing kiss. She then roughly lifted Ji Lingyue’s legs onto her shoulders and moved her hips, creating a rapid series of intense thrusts.
“Mm!”
Slightly raised scales grazed against Ji Lingyue’s sensitive, swollen bud, sending shivers of pleasure through her body. Each gasp and whimper was swallowed by Lan Wu’s hungry mouth. She leaned down, pressing into Ji Lingyue, almost folding her in half.
Fortunately, the woman’s waist was flexible, and even in this awkward position, she didn’t seem too uncomfortable. If anything, the intense angle only seemed to amplify the pleasure, drawing out a fresh wave of fluid that trickled down her thighs, mixing with the seawater that clung to Lan Wu’s shimmering scales.
Finally, Lan Wu released her lips, trailing kisses down her jaw to capture a soft nipple between her teeth. One hand caressed Ji Lingyue’s flat stomach while the other dipped down, fingers sliding back into her slick heat.
“Lan Wu, ah! Slower, mm, slower…”
Ji Lingyue panted and reached for Lan Wu’s hand, lifting her hips to meet her thrusts. Lan Wu gently bit Ji Lingyue’s nipple, her long hair damp and clinging to her face, her lashes glistening with moisture. When she looked up, her eyes sparkled like stars, making her all the more alluring.
Ji Lingyue met her smiling gaze, her breath catching in her throat. Her heart overflowed with love. She shifted, instinctively tightening around the fingers inside her, and reached out to the woman above her with a soft plea, “Hold me…”
Lan Wu lifted her head and wrapped her arms around Ji Lingyue’s sweat-slicked waist, lifting her off the rocks and sinking into the water, leaving only their shoulders above the surface. Ji Lingyue closed her eyes, resting limply in her arms. After a moment, she let out a muffled moan and bit down on Lan Wu’s shoulder.
Lan Wu drew in a sharp breath, holding Ji Lingyue close for a long moment before slowly withdrawing her fingers. She leaned down, pressing a tender kiss to her forehead. “Tired?”
Ji Lingyue nuzzled against her shoulder in response.
Lan Wu chuckled softly, adjusting her grip to carry her back to the shore. But halfway there, she suddenly froze, her eyes wide as she stammered, “W-what are you touching?!”
Ji Lingyue blinked and let out a low hum, as if she were genuinely puzzled. “Why are the scales here softer than everywhere else?”
Lan Wu’s long lashes trembled, her face flushed, and her eyes quickly filled with tears. “Stop touching…”
