Otherworldly Companions: Every Handsome Man is Extraordinary

Chapter 177 Purple-haired Mermaid

"Moya, I need to have a serious talk with you!" Jiang Yu said seriously, firmly placing her hands on Moya's chest to prevent him from clinging to her like a boneless creature.

“If you’re asking me to send you back, then there’s no need to say anything more.” Moya grumbled, then snuggled his head into Jiang Yu’s neck and said, “From now on, you’re mine, and you have nothing to do with anyone else.”

"I can find you anything you want, but if you want to go back to your so-called husbands, that's impossible, don't even think about it." Moya instinctively nuzzled Jiang Yu's neck with the tip of his nose and then gave her a light kiss.

His behavior, which could be described as harassment, naturally caused Jiang Yu discomfort and resistance.

For a moment, she didn't care that the purple-haired mermaid in front of her was actually a powerful sea monster, and punched the head that was leaning on her shoulder: "Can you stop hitting me and talk to me properly!"

"And what gives you the right to make decisions for me? Do you treat me like a pet? I am not a pet. I do not belong to anyone, not even you. I belong only to myself."

Jiang Yu was also puzzled. When did this sea monster's feelings for her change? Didn't he initially treat her like a pet? Now, why did his possessiveness seem like that of a man towards a woman? He resisted her husband and deliberately transformed into human form—well, mermaids could barely be considered humanoid in a way that allowed communication. Did he want to be her partner?

"Are you kidding me? A sea monster?" Jiang Yu chuckled awkwardly, finding the world truly surreal.

“I don’t treat you like a pet.” Moya looked sincerely into Jiang Yu’s eyes. Only then did Jiang Yu notice that there were two small beauty marks at the corners of each of his two beautiful gray eyes, which looked like simple decorations, making him appear even more innocent and charming. But Jiang Yu immediately thought of being stared at by six huge, inorganic gray eyes.

“I want to be with you forever, I want to possess you completely, no matter what form you take. If being partners is the most inseparable relationship in the world, then I want to be your partner,” Moa said clearly. He may have been confused before, but since talking to Triton, he has completely figured it out.

As long as they are together forever, he can also become her husband and her partner.

“But I don’t want to live at the bottom of the sea forever.” Jiang Yu interrupted his thoughts, expressing her desire urgently: “I have lived on land since I was a child, and the sea doesn’t give me a sense of belonging. I still have many family members and friends on land, not just my husbands, they are all waiting for me to come back.”

“When I had amnesia, I wanted to leave the seabed. Now that I’ve recovered, I’m even less inclined to stay here,” Jiang Yu tried to reason with him.

"But I'm here. I can be your family, your husband, your friend, everything to you. Here it's just the two of us, we belong only to each other. Isn't that good?"

The sea monster was born alone. Therefore, he had little affection for family and could not understand so-called friendship. What he awakened in Jiang Yu could be considered love. His origin was not in the sea, yet he was able to stay in the sea for thousands of years, and he could not understand the so-called sense of belonging.

"No. All emotions are reciprocal. Not only do I need them, but they need me too. If I stay at the bottom of the sea forever, then separation will torment each and every one of us."

“Even if my body is still alive, the pain grows from here.” Jiang Yu placed her hand on her chest. “In the end, the pain here will take away all my vitality and make me lose my passion for life. I will become a walking corpse, or even die of depression.”

"So, you'd rather I die here than let me go home?" Jiang Yu admitted that she was threatening Mo Ya. His relatively simple-minded logic was now the only thing she could control.

"Also, do you want to explain to me about these scales?" Jiang Yu stretched out her leg, using the opportunity of showing her ankle to push Moya's body a little further away.

Moya looked at her ankle and quickly spotted the tiny fish scales. His eyes narrowed with delight.

"It's finally working! Slowly, Jiangjiang will have her own beautiful fishtail. I wonder what Jiangjiang's fishtail will look like! The color looks a bit like bluish-green."

"Are there any other places?" Moya asked curiously, pinching and poking at the objects.

Jiang Yu slapped his hand away, then lifted the hair behind her ear to show him the scales that had grown out.

"Wow, the area behind her ears is blue! It looks like Jiang Jiang might be a blue-green mermaid. Just thinking about it makes me feel so beautiful!"

"..." Seriously, is that even the point? Jiang Yu went straight to the point: "I don't want to become a mermaid, I don't want to lose my legs, is there any reversible way to remove these scales?"

"Why?! With a fish tail you can breathe and live underwater, and you won't need this cumbersome bubble to restrict your movements! Isn't that a good thing?" Moya asked, puzzled, and then suddenly noticed that one of the scales on Jiang Yu's ankle had obviously been violently damaged.

With a look of tenderness, he cradled that fair, slender leg in his arms, and seeing the dried blood, he couldn't help but press his lips to it.

Although she knew this might be belated healing, what kind of good person would fawn over someone else's feet?! Isn't anyone going to do anything about it? God, there's a pervert here! Jiang Yu cried out in her heart, her facial features also uncontrollably flying wildly.

"Damn it, let me go!"

Moya reluctantly released Jiang Yu's leg, pouting, "I was just worried about hurting you, waah~"

"!" Jiang Yu was shocked. He could even whimper?! This was truly beyond her comprehension. She had never encountered this type of boy before. Neither Fan Qingyin nor Lin Yi were proud of their status, and their attempts at being affectionate were never this affected...

Jiang Yu was somewhat unable to accept this and felt goosebumps all over her body. She emphasized again, "Can't you speak properly?!"

"I was speaking properly~" Moya had a sullen expression, her round eyes were downturned, and her gray pupils were very moist, making her look as innocent and cute as a dog.

"It's clear that Jiangjiang doesn't like me and keeps pushing me away. I'm so sad..." Her expression looked like she was about to cry.

"You can't do this." Jiang Yu took a deep breath and finally managed to utter these words. Who can save her? It's so hard, so helpless.

It seems we need to work on things further to have a normal, ordinary conversation with him. He's so unresponsive; we'll have to keep thinking of ways to get through to him.
