After finishing lunch, Si Lu, Lan Po, and Jin Yang headed toward the place chosen for mating. Of course Hei Yao followed as well — but he kept a respectful distance. He didn't want to get anywhere close enough to make things awkward.
Besides, he was a silver-rank powerhouse. His spiritual sense was strong enough to monitor everything from afar.
And honestly? He didn't want anyone else listening in or creeping around while the little female was mating. If somebody was going to stand guard, it had to be him. He didn't trust anyone else with it.
When they were close to the destination, Hei Yao stopped. He stood atop a rock, watching the three of them walk away.
Si Lu and the two brothers arrived at a coral-filled area.
All around them, coral mountains rose high, forming a circular barrier — and in the center was a huge ocean clam.
The giant shell shimmered with a soft, silvery glow — mysterious and extraordinary.
Si Lu's eyes instantly lit up. Damn, this thing was massive. This clam was at least twice the size of the ones she'd seen before. She didn't even know clams this big existed.
She walked around it, touching it like a kid seeing a new toy.
Are we supposed to mate inside this thing? Thinking back to that time she accidentally interrupted someone else's mating… her face went red.
Honestly, she never imagined clams were used like this, never imagined merfolk mated inside them… and now it was her turn. And she had to admit — she was a little excited. Stimulated. Curious. And yeah, very nervous.
"Are we supposed to mate… inside the clam?" Si Lu asked.
She already had a guess, but she wanted to hear it straight from them.
"Yes," Jin Yang nodded. "Our merfolk always mate inside these clams. This one was specifically prepared for us. The coral around it is chosen to keep the area quiet. No one will interrupt us — and the guards posted far away can't hear anything from here."
He could tell she was shy, anxious about privacy.
He wanted her to feel at ease.
Lan Po smiled. "Yeah, don't worry. Big brother arranged everything perfectly."
He couldn't help remembering the time Si Lu had barged in on another merfolk couple. That scene lived rent-free in his head.
"So what do we do now…?" Si Lu's voice was tiny.
Of course she had never mated with merfolk before — much less two merfolk brothers at once — and with a giant magical clam involved? Her brain was buffering.
Jin Yang laughed softly and cupped her cheek. "So, little one… what do you think we're supposed to do?"
"Si Lu, you dummy," Lan Po grinned, coming to her side. "We're going into the clam to mate. What else?"
Si Lu glared. "Lan Po, are you calling me cute or calling me stupid?"
"I'm complimenting you! I swear!" Lan Po looked instantly pitiful, like a kicked puppy. He really wasn't trying to upset her.
"Enough. Didn't you two say we're going into the clam? What are you waiting for?" Si Lu rolled her eyes and marched toward the clam.
The massive shell opened on its own.
Inside was pure white — elegant and soft, glowing gently.
Fluffy white beast pelts lined the bottom. White fur blankets were piled inside as well. Everything was plush, warm, and beautiful — merfolk really loved this aesthetic.
Si Lu stepped in first and sat down. Damn… it actually was soft.
Her face heated up again. She knew what was coming next.
Her first time mating with merfolk… Not only that: with two of them. At the same time. And they were brothers.
Her cheeks instantly flushed a deep red.
Lan Po and Jin Yang followed her inside, and the clam slowly closed around them.
Si Lu almost gasped — but realized the inside glowed on its own. Not bright, not dark. Just enough to see everything. How convenient.
Then a low, enchanting voice whispered:
"Si Lu…" Jin Yang's voice alone was seductive; merfolk were naturally alluring.
"Si Lu… I've been waiting for this moment for so long." Lan Po's voice followed, soft and intoxicating.
The brothers looked at her with burning affection.
Si Lu lowered her gaze shyly and nodded.
Lan Po approached first, his fingers tracing her cheek before he kissed her.
Forehead… then nose… then lips…
His movements were slow, gentle, reverent. One hand wrapped around her waist, the other cradled the back of her head as he kissed her deeply.
She didn't even have time to react before she was already melting into it.
Jin Yang watched, helplessly amused. Of course his brother rushed ahead — he was terrified Jin Yang would steal the first kiss.
Lan Po moved behind her, sliding a hand around her waist and kissing her ear. Si Lu trembled — a shiver shooting down her spine.
Her body grew warm, numb, and soft.
Before she could gather a thought, Lan Po kissed lower, down her neck. His other hand tugged her clothing aside, revealing smooth white skin.
Jin Yang held her waist from the front, while Lan Po held her from behind — perfectly synchronized without touching each other.
Jin Yang kissed her shoulder and neck.
Lan Po ran his fingers along her collarbone.
It was overwhelming — electric waves shooting through her body. If they weren't holding her up, she swore her knees would've given out.
"Si Lu… I love you." Jin Yang whispered it against her ear, lightly nibbling.
Her breath hitched. Her head instinctively tilted — just in time for Lan Po to trail kisses down her jaw, then lower…
With a sharp tug, Lan Po pulled her dress loose, baring her soft, glowing skin.
"Si Lu… you're so beautiful," he murmured before lowering his head and kissing the tender skin of her chest, hands exploring upward.
"Mmh—" Si Lu's soft sound escaped on its own.
Before she could recover, Jin Yang tilted her face toward him and kissed her deeply, his hands firm on her waist.
Her mind completely short-circuited.
Her body felt like it was dissolving into heat.
Suddenly her clothes slipped away entirely, falling off her body.
Lan Po lowered her gently onto the white beast pelts and leaned over her.
Jin Yang sat beside her, kissing her hand, slowly making his way up her arm.
It was wild. Shameless. Overwhelming.
Si Lu couldn't think. She couldn't even pretend to resist.
She could only lie there, stunned, breathless, and letting them do whatever they wanted.
Well… to be honest…
She was definitely enjoying it.
