The Tycoon's Enchanted Mermaid-Chapter 170 - : Fish That Cannot Leave Water
Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Fish That Cannot Leave Water
Spiritual Power felt waves of heat within her body, coming in bursts, some frequent and some after intervals. Her mind went completely blank after Qin Yu nibbled her ear just moments ago.
She had no control over what happened next until Qin Yu dragged her ashore, and only then did some semblance of rationality return.
Qin Yu cradled her face, bent down close, resting his forehead against hers, his fingertips wiping the moisture at the corner of her eyes.
“Why are you crying more and more?”
Spiritual Power replied with a sense of grievance, “You hit me.”
“You were disobedient; you deserved it,” Qin Yu’s voice deep and hoarse, his Adam’s apple rolling as he sighed and sealed the little one’s mouth, pressing lightly and shallowly in, lingering over her every pearly white tooth.
The words she was about to say were pushed back.
Qin Yu was too domineering, giving Spiritual Power no time to react, easily controlling her every move.
Like a fledgling bird in the palm of a hand, every step was under his control.
Spiritual Power was forced to tilt her head back, her small hands attempting to grab his clothes. Her fingertips touched the tense muscles of his arm, unable to grasp onto anything; at last, she could only cling to his shoulders.
The sweet fruity scent became richer, and Qin Yu, originally intending to just punish her and stop her tears, gradually lost some control. His arm wrapped around her waist, intensifying the kiss.
When they parted, Spiritual Power’s tongue felt numb; she breathed shallowly, her wet eyes somewhat dazed.
Qin Yu rubbed her swollen lips with his fingertip, “Now tell me, why did you run into the water as soon as you woke up?”
Spiritual Power lifted her lashes, her eyes clear and moist like colored glaze, innocence radiating from them, “I don’t know.”
“The truth?” Qin Yu narrowed his eyes, lifting her chin.
Spiritual Power glared at him annoyedly; seeing him make a move and fearing another kiss, she quickly covered her mouth.
“Really, really.”
Spiritual Power nodded vigorously, her tongue tingling from the kiss, fearing that being bullied by him again might break her skin.
Qin Yu felt her forehead, “What did Yao Qingzhi say? Is this a side effect of soul fusion?”
Now that Spiritual Power’s emotions were calm and the fire within her body seemed extinguished, her thoughts clearer, she began contemplating her body’s strange state upon hearing his words.
“Maybe it is. It’s never happened before; I feel like a fish that can’t leave water.”
“Only in water do I feel comfortable.”
Her voice was soft and discouraged, sounding somewhat defeated.
Qin Yu massaged her cheeks, his gaze lowered thoughtfully, considering her words, “Let’s have a doctor come and take a look.”
“No, don’t bring a doctor, I’m just a little weary,” Spiritual Power shook her head, strongly refusing.
Seeing her soaked through, Qin Yu bent down and scooped her up in his arms, “If you don’t want to see a doctor, go change into clean clothes and join me for dinner.”
Spiritual Power obediently wrapped her arms around his neck, gazing eagerly at his jaw and couldn’t resist calling out his name.
“Qin Yu.”
“Hmm?”
Spiritual Power raised both hands and playfully tugged at his hair, smiling, “Your hair is all wet too.”
Qin Yu hummed in response, opened the door, and carried her into the room, telling her, “Put on clean clothes and come downstairs, I’ll wait for you.”
“Oh, got it.”
Qin Yu turned and closed the door behind him.
Barefoot, Spiritual Power ran into the bathroom quickly stripped off her wet dress, rinsed her body briefly with hot water, and changed into a pale yellow dress, blowing her hair to half-dry.
After everything was settled, Spiritual Power grabbed her phone and headed downstairs.
Su Qingtong had sent her a message, a photo of stars and trees that seemed to be taken on a mountain.
Spiritual Power immediately understood her meaning, paused, and sent a WeChat message, “Are you staying overnight on Lingcheng Mountain?”
Su Qingtong quickly replied.
“Where have you been? Why did it take so long to reply to my message? Don’t tell me Spiritual Power came back and you got so excited that you couldn’t help but… you know… in broad daylight, hmm?”
Ah Da stared at the message for ten seconds, not quite understanding what the “hmm” meant, but she knew the word after “in broad daylight.”
What kind of lewd talk was this?
Bronze Sword was as unrestrained as ever.
Thinking of the kiss in the changing room downstairs, Ah Da’s cheeks became somewhat flushed, and she felt a tinge of guilt.
Could a kiss count? It probably doesn’t, right?
“How is that possible? Don’t talk nonsense. You first tell me why you stayed on Lingcheng Mountain? Didn’t you say you were going to find Sister Liu?”
Su Qingtong: “I had no choice, Yao Qingzhi was being unreasonable and wouldn’t let me leave the mountain.”
Ah Da was curious, Master Yao seemed so righteous, why would he behave unreasonably to keep Bronze Sword there.
Definitely a story there!
Su Qingtong sent over a voice message.
“Yao Qingzhi is just someone who seems serious on the surface but is actually bad to the core. After I followed him back to Lingcheng Mountain, I thought it was just going to be a simple registration for using Spiritual Power, but guess what? He insisted I wasn’t being honest and needed to be observed overnight, wtf? Of course, I directly refused. Who knew this jerk Yao Qingzhi would actually force me into restraints? I was so angry.”
Ah Da was shocked.
“Are you okay now? Do you need me to come and rescue you?”
Su Qingtong, hearing Ah Da’s anxious tone over the phone, couldn’t help but laugh and eventually declined.
“I’m fine, you don’t need to come, I can handle it myself.”
“Oh.” Ah Da hesitated, “Are you really okay? What about Sister Liu?”
“Sister Liu gave me a good scolding, but I’m used to it by now, I’ll be leaving the mountain tomorrow anyway.” Su Qingtong leaned against the window, enjoying the breeze, looking quite content, “What about you?”
Ah Da puzzled: “Me what?”
“What was the expression of your guy when you woke up?”
Su Qingtong was curious; when she was living at Wuqiong Water Pavilion, Qin Yu always seemed to wear a gloomy expression, exuding a cold aura. Yet, she had also seen him in the still of the night, sitting by the bed, carefully holding onto the girl’s hand with a gentle look.
She thought, Qin Yu really cared a lot about little incense burner.
Little incense burner, so naïve, did she truly have a concrete understanding of love?
“The expression? Just really fierce and scary.” Ah Da exaggerated, biting her lip.
“Ah? How could that be? Are you just too shy to say? Don’t be shy, come on, spill the beans.”
Su Qingtong waited a long while without a reply, confused, she glanced at the screen—call hadn’t disconnected, strange?
“Hey, why aren’t you talking? Gone dumb?”
Ah Da at this moment was looking at Qin Yu not far away, blinking, unable to find her words.

The man’s figure was lean, with striking eyebrows and piercing eyes, like the pristine snow on the summit of a mountain. He was leaning against a wall looking at her, his gaze cool and unreadable.
Ah Da panicked internally—had he heard everything?
Bronze Sword’s voice came through the phone with a series of “hello, hello, hello,” Ah Da saw Qin Yu approaching and, frightened, hung up the phone.
Qin Yu asked, word by word, “Fierce? Scary?”
Ah Da was utterly cowed and immediately shook her head, “No, no, I wasn’t talking about you.”
Qin Yu’s lips curled upwards, “Then who was it?”
Ah Da blurted out, “It was a monster in the pool, with eight legs, and a long tail behind.”
Qin Yu let out an ‘oh,’ his voice indifferent and emotionless, “Having a monster in the water means the maintenance isn’t good enough. I’ll have someone clean the pool tomorrow and make sure to catch the eight-legged monster. Sounds good?”
Ah Da didn’t have the heart to laugh, “If you… want to catch it, then catch it.” Anyway, she’d made it up.
