Chapter 27: VIP Announcement
Translator’s note: I was debating whether to translate this or not but decided to just include this
Banging drums and clanging gongs, scattering flowers in celebration! To all my dear reader babies, the new book is finally going to be listed for VIP!
(There should be deafening cheers and applause here!)
Speaking of which, I was just a “little transparency” who used to type away silently in the middle of the night. I always felt my writing was terrible and my plot was cliché; I never dreamed there would be a day when I’d go premium. Thanks to the keen eye of my Great Editor (omitting a thousand words of rainbow farts here), my novel finally has a chance to meet everyone.
This is my first time writing a novel, and I challenged the theme of book transmigration and mermen. Just thinking about it gets me a little excited! In the story, our Gu Yunsheng—the youngest and most promising surgeon of the 21st century—accidentally transmigrated into a book and fell into the clutches of the deep-sea overbearing boss, Ling Xi.
This boss is no saint. With his paranoid love and split personality, a “Chasing His Wife at the Crematorium” scene could break out at any minute. He’s managed to turn a sweet, doting romance into a thriller! As for whether they’ll end up with an HE or a BE, hehe, I can only say: everything is possible!
(P.S. If you want to see an HE, type 1; if you want a BE, gouge out your eyeballs; if you want an open ending, pick your nose. Haha, just kidding!)
Of course, our story isn’t just about sadomasochistic love. After Gu Yunsheng returns to the real world, what awaits him are even bigger conspiracies and challenges: the mysterious and unpredictable villain Mr. K, thrilling genetic experiments, and step-by-step death threats… Don’t worry, our gentle guardian knight, Lu Jingheng, is about to come online. He will fight side-by-side with Gu Yunsheng, teaming up to slay monsters and level up, opening a “refreshing novel” mode of Double Alpha counterattacks!
After three rounds of recommendations, I am very grateful for the support and encouragement from all you reader lords. Every collection, every comment, and every like is the motivation for my coding! For this VIP release, I have specifically chosen a plot climax point, guaranteed to make you unable to stop reading and make your heart race!
If you also like elements such as book transmigration, mermen, ABO, Double Alpha, and “Strong-Strong” pairings, then congratulations, you’ve found the right place! Trust me, this novel will definitely bring you a different reading experience!
Finally, thank you all again for your companionship along the way. I hope my novel can bring you joy and touch your hearts!
Finger heart!
Chapter 28: Chapter Twenty-Seven — Protection and Resistance
“Is that so? I don’t believe you~” The corners of Ling Xi’s mouth curled up. He stopped teasing him, but his eyes were filled with a mischievous smile.
His fingers idly and lightly stroked Gu Yunsheng’s lips. The tingling sensation made Gu Yunsheng’s breathing falter, and he murmured softly, “It tickles…” Gu Yunsheng’s lips were warm and soft, and his neck carried the sweet scent of rose pheromones, making one only want to bully him even harder.
“Your body is very hot.” Ling Xi’s fingertips lightly brushed over Gu Yunsheng’s Adam’s apple, feeling the pulse that was trembling slightly due to tension. A trace of an indiscernible dark glint flashed in his deep eyes. “Do you really not need my soothing pheromones?”
He intentionally dragged out the final syllable, his tone carrying a bit of a wicked smile. Hearing this, Gu Yunsheng’s face instantly flushed crimson. He didn’t even know where to look, his flustered appearance resembling a startled rabbit.
Ling Xi felt his heart was about to melt. He simply loved seeing his Omega’s shy and cute look; it really made one unable to resist bullying him—bullying him ruthlessly!
“Baby, do you know how tempting you look right now?” Ling Xi wasn’t about to let him off. Looking at this flustered little face, he wanted to give him a good taste of his love.
He approached slowly, his warm breath spraying onto Gu Yunsheng’s sensitive earlobe, carrying a faint scent of cedar pheromones that smelled wonderful.
“Whatever you want, come and take it yourself…” Ling Xi’s voice was low and raspy, the end of his sentence slightly upturned, as if sketching an inviting question mark in Gu Yunsheng’s ear.
The warm breath lightly brushed over Gu Yunsheng’s earlobe, triggering a surge of numbing electricity that traveled through his entire body.
Gu Yunsheng felt that his cheeks must be frighteningly hot. His heart beat wildly in his chest, almost breaking through his ribs.
Added to that was the crisp cedar fragrance from Ling Xi’s body, mixed with a faint hint of the ocean, surrounding him tightly and making him want to indulge in it and never wake up.
Gu Yunsheng wanted to push Ling Xi away and tell him he didn’t need any soothing pheromones.
But his body’s reaction honestly betrayed his reason.
With Ling Xi close by, those faint cedar-scented pheromones lingered at the tip of Gu Yunsheng’s nose, evoking a strange tremor.
His Adam’s apple bobbed. An indescribable longing surged deep within him—wanting more, wanting to be thoroughly possessed, wanting…
“How am I?” Ling Xi chuckled softly, his fingertips lightly sliding over Gu Yunsheng’s chin. His tone carried a hint of playfulness. “Baby, this look of feigned refusal—are you inviting me?”
Gu Yunsheng flusteredly dodged Ling Xi’s gaze, his cheeks so red they looked like they might drip blood. “I… I’m not…”
“Is that so?” Ling Xi didn’t pierce through his clumsy disguise. Instead, he leaned down and whispered in his ear, “But your body’s reaction isn’t saying that…”
The warm breath sprayed in his ear, and Gu Yunsheng’s body couldn’t help but tremble slightly. “I… I’m just…”
“Just what?” Ling Xi’s finger lightly stroked his lips. “Hmm? Tell me, baby…”
“I…” Gu Yunsheng bit his lip. “I… I’m afraid…”
“Afraid?” Ling Xi chuckled. “Don’t be afraid. I’ll make you feel very comfortable…”
“No…” Gu Yunsheng wanted to refuse, but was pulled into Ling Xi’s arms.
“Shh—” Ling Xi tenderly kissed away his tears. “Be good, leave it to me…”
Gu Yunsheng’s thoughts were still immersed in the lingering afterglow from just now. His disheveled breathing and slightly reddened eyes all spoke of his feelings at this moment.
Ling Xi’s fingers lightly brushed across his cheek, and that touch made his heart accelerate once more.
“Are you okay?” Ling Xi’s voice was deep, carrying a hint of hoarseness, like the sound of sea wind brushing over a shell, teasing Gu Yunsheng’s nerves.
Gu Yunsheng didn’t dare look at him. He turned his head slightly, trying to avoid that burning gaze. Ling Xi took the opportunity to lightly bite his earlobe, whispering with a laugh, “Are you shy?”
This simple action made Gu Yunsheng’s body tremble slightly. He bit his lip, wanting to say something, but he couldn’t say anything at all. He could only let Ling Xi hold him in his arms.
Ling Xi’s finger lightly traced the shape of his lips, feeling his temperature and his breath. “Tell me, what do you want?” Ling Xi’s voice carried a hint of seduction that was impossible to resist.
Gu Yunsheng’s heart was in a mess. Ling Xi’s embrace was warm and familiar, like some fatal temptation dragging him toward the abyss.
He craved this tenderness, yet he was torn by a strong sense of responsibility deep within.
The shadow of Xue Chenxi and the cruelty of Mr. K reminded him at every moment that beneath the calm sea surface were surging undercurrents.
He couldn’t just sink into this.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunsheng lightly pushed Ling Xi away, his gaze firm and clear. “Ling Xi, I have some very important matters to deal with. Can you help me?” His tone carried a hint of entreaty.
“What matters?” Ling Xi looked at Gu Yunsheng, a trace of confusion flashing in his deep blue eyes.
“I must stop Xue Chenxi and Mr. K before they do. They want to destroy the peace of this sea area and harm the creatures here.” Gu Yunsheng’s tone was full of anxiety and worry. “I must prevent all of this from happening.”
Gu Yunsheng’s words were like claps of thunder exploding in his ears, shattering all his feigned calm.
Ling Xi felt as if his heart were being tightly squeezed by an invisible hand. The sharp pain made him almost unable to breathe.
However, he knew Gu Yunsheng was right. He hadn’t been idle regarding Xue Chenxi and Mr. K’s ambitions. Their existence was a fatal threat to this sea area and to Gu Yunsheng.
But he couldn’t stand by and watch Gu Yunsheng take risks and face those two madmen!
Just the thought that Gu Yunsheng might be harmed made him feel like his blood was about to freeze.
“Yunsheng…” Ling Xi’s voice was extremely strained, as if a fishbone were stuck in his throat. “Everything you said, I will handle it. Trust me, okay?”
As Ling Xi spoke, he cupped Gu Yunsheng’s face, desperately wanting to find a shred of comfort in his eyes.
In those deep blue eyes, there was no longer the tenderness and doting of the past. Instead, there was a surging storm of fear and pleading. “Stay by my side and don’t go anywhere. I will protect you, I promise.”
Ling Xi’s voice trembled, as if afraid of disturbing something, yet it carried a firmness that couldn’t be ignored, like a vow sworn to the deep sea that would never be betrayed.
He knew he was being selfish. He knew he shouldn’t stop Gu Yunsheng from doing what he thought was right. But he simply couldn’t control himself; he didn’t want to lose Gu Yunsheng again.
“I’m fine. They can’t do anything to me.” Gu Yunsheng sniffled and messily wiped away the tears at the corners of his eyes. His tone was firm, but he thought secretly: Didn’t I come to this world to do something? The original owner is gone; perhaps his mission and my intentions coincide…
Ling Xi’s heart seemed to be squeezed hard by an invisible hand. Looking at this stubborn Omega, a sense of helplessness arose.
At this moment, he wanted so much to hide Gu Yunsheng away, to keep him forever within reach and far from all danger.
“Yunsheng, listen to me…” Ling Xi tried to persuade him again, but was firmly interrupted by Gu Yunsheng.
“No, Ling Xi, you listen to me.” Gu Yunsheng tilted his chin slightly, a firm light dancing in his eyes like a tender sprout breaking through the soil in spring, full of vitality and hope.
He raised his hand, his fingertips lightly brushing over Ling Xi’s cheek. The delicate touch was like a breeze blowing over the sea, bringing a hint of coolness while teasing the fire surging deep inside Ling Xi.
Gu Yunsheng’s finger pad unconsciously stroked the scales on the side of Ling Xi’s face. The sensation was strange and charming—cold and hard, yet carrying a hint of rough tenderness. it reminded him of those strange corals in the deep sea that emitted a faint glimmer, beautiful yet dangerous, just like the Ling Xi before him—making one unable to resist wanting to get close, yet afraid of being swallowed by his unfathomable love.
“I know you’re worried about me, but I can’t sit idly by.” Gu Yunsheng’s voice was soft yet firm, as if carrying some sort of magic that Ling Xi couldn’t resist.
“Xue Chenxi and Mr. K’s ambitions are too great. If they succeed, this sea area that has nurtured countless lives will become a dead zone, and countless creatures will suffer catastrophe. I can’t stand by and watch this happen; this is my responsibility.”
In the reef cave at the bottom of the sea, the flowing water made a rumbling sound, as if providing a silent accompaniment to Gu Yunsheng’s words.
Ling Xi looked at the glowing Omega before him in silence. His heart felt as if it were being tightly squeezed by an invisible hand—painful yet sweet.
Reason told him he should let go and let Gu Yunsheng do what he wanted, but the surging possessiveness and fear deep within made it impossible for him to easily say the word “agree.”
“Fine, I promise you.” Ling Xi’s voice was low and raspy, as if having finally compromised after countless struggles. He reached out and grasped Gu Yunsheng’s hand. Complex emotions flickered in his deep blue eyes—like a promise, like a helpless compromise, and even more so, a worry for Gu Yunsheng’s safety.
“But you must promise me: you have to protect yourself well and not let yourself suffer any harm. Otherwise…” Ling Xi paused, his tone gaining a hint of paranoia and madness that he hadn’t even noticed himself. “Otherwise… I will imprison you in the Abyss of the Deep Sea, so that you can only ever be within my sight. Don’t even think about leaving here for the rest of your life!”
Gu Yunsheng was amused by Ling Xi’s childish threat. He cupped Ling Xi’s cheeks and lightly imprinted a kiss on Ling Xi’s lips, like a dragonfly skimming the water, stirring up ripples in Ling Xi’s heart.
“Fine, I promise you.”
Looking at Gu Yunsheng so close at hand, Ling Xi’s eyes flickered with a tender light, as if he wanted to melt Gu Yunsheng entirely into himself.
He couldn’t help but lower his head, wanting to deepen this kiss. However, just then, Gu Yunsheng took a half-step back, dodging his touch.
“What’s wrong?” A trace of imperceptible disappointment was in Ling Xi’s voice.
Gu Yunsheng looked at Ling Xi, a mischievous smile hooking the corner of his mouth. “I promised I would protect myself, so… you can’t act rashly either.”
Ling Xi looked at Gu Yunsheng; he knew Gu Yunsheng was right. They had more important things to do now.
“Fine, let’s go… find A-Yuan first…”
Before Ling Xi could finish, a violent vibration suddenly came from the seabed. The entire sea surface began to churn violently. Countless marine creatures fled in panic. The originally magnificent coral reefs were now shaking violently, as if they would be completely destroyed by this powerful force in the next second.
“What’s happening?” Gu Yunsheng’s face was pale. He tightly grabbed Ling Xi’s arm, his gaze fixed on the approaching haze.
Ling Xi’s expression was solemn. He followed Gu Yunsheng’s gaze toward the shadow shrouded in blackness. A cold light flashed in his deep blue eyes, and a powerful aura radiated from him—it was the fury of the King of the Deep Sea.
“It’s humans. Could it be that he has come…?”
