Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Chen Jingyan reached out to touch her face. However, before he could touch her, Shi Li subconsciously shrank.

"Do you hate me?" Chen Jingyan asked.

"No, no," Shili calmed down a little, "I was just a little surprised. You know, I came from the depths of the sea, but I had never heard of any sea witch, let alone seen it, why did you see it, and not only gave you the magic medicine to heal the mermaid, but also gave you the ability to recover quickly."

"Maybe I am more destined to be with the sea witch." Chen Jingyan said gently.

Shi Li didn't believe it. She even felt that the so-called sea witch was fictionalized by him. After all, people in the novel world could not create something that did not belong to this world in the novel world.

Seeing her silent, Chen Jingyan sighed helplessly, grabbed her hand and placed it on his heart: "You feel that I am alive, not a monster, my heartbeat is as powerful as a normal person, and the temperature of my body is the same as you. Apart from having amazing healing ability, I am no different from ordinary people."

Shi Li frowned, felt his heartbeat carefully, and then asked in a low voice after a while: "Apart from these, are you hiding anything else from me?"

Chen Jingyan paused: "No more."

"Lie," Shili looked at him, "The sea witch gave you so much, but you only gave it a box of jewelry. This exchange is not equivalent. Why is it so good to you?"

Chen Jingyan looked at her calmly, and after a long time he laughed, "Of course it's more than just a box of jewelry."

"What is that?" Shi Li asked immediately.

"You answer me a question first, and I'll answer you." Chen Jingyan said slowly.

Shi Li nodded quickly: "What do you want to ask?"

"What I want to ask you is, why did I sleep for a while? My belt was just fine, but now it's been pulled open?" Chen Jingyan asked.

Shi Li was stunned for a moment and looked down with his eyes. He saw that the head and tail of his belt were already scattered on both sides of his waist, and the pants in the middle became half loose because she had pulled it before, and just sat on the upper position of her pubic bone.

Shi Li: "..." This is very embarrassing.

"Do you want to complete the coming-of-age ceremony by yourself while I'm asleep?" Chen Jingyan narrowed his eyes.

Shi Li was stiff for a moment and replied awkwardly: "I don't have that meaning..."

"What do you mean?" Chen Jingyan asked in a good mood.

Shi Li wanted to say whether you were still there, but he didn't say it until his mouth was right. No, I can't say that men have the greatest dignity. He is so careful now. What if he says it out loud, what should he do if he gets angry or gets mentally hurt?

After a moment of entanglement, Shi Li gritted her teeth and shook her head: "It's not interesting, I just look at your belt is fun..."

"You really like my body." Chen Jingyan said clearly.

Shi Li's cheeks turned red. She closed her mouth in a frustration. It took her a long time to grit her teeth and admit: "Yes, I just want two human legs. I want to walk like you. I don't want to be in the bathtub all day and can't go anywhere."

"Just because of this?" Chen Jingyan asked.

Shi Li wanted to nod, but after meeting his sight, he suddenly felt a desire to survive. After pausing, he carefully said, "And... I like you."

Chen Jingyan curled the corners of his lips: "How much do you like it?"

"...I like it very much." Shi Li confessed awkwardly.

Chen Jingyan thought about it and asked again: "I like it more than anyone else?"

Shi Li was about to admit it, but a few male supporting actors suddenly flashed in her mind, and she suddenly felt guilty. She forced this emotion to suppress her, and then she said seriously to Chen Jingyan: "Yes, I like you the most."

Chen Jingyan smiled faintly and did not say whether he believed it or not.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Shi Li leaned over to him: "I have answered your question, you should answer me too. Why is the sea witch so nice to you? What kind of deal did you make?"

Chen Jingyan pulled her into his arms. Shi Li struggled for a few times but broke away. He protested angrily: "I'm talking to you about the serious business."

"Lying down and talking." Chen Jingyan said with a smile.

As soon as Shi Li was pissed off, most of the fear she had just disappeared. She truly felt that he was a living person and felt that he was no different from the past. This kind of no difference made her slowly let down her hanging heart, so that she no longer feared his identity.

Until she became honest in her arms, Chen Jingyan said, "Didn't you find that the place where I live is very broken?"

Shi Li paused, looked at the surrounding environment, thinking that it was more than just a destruction. She had seen the poorest people in the world, and she did not live like him on the beach where they could be overturned by wind and waves at any time. In addition, there was only a small house in total, and even when you went to the toilet, you had to go to the forest behind the beach not far away.

"You may not know that my fleet has hundreds of people, and everyone is brave and good at fighting. Every time I voyage, I will bring back countless jewelry. My subordinates can take out hundreds of gold to entertain, live in the most luxurious house on the coast, and are served by three servants. I am the only one who is so poor. Do you know why?" Chen Jingyan said slowly like a story.

Shi Li thought for a while: "Is it because of the sea witch?"

"Yes, because of the sea witch." Chen Jingyan replied.

Shi Li frowned: "Why, has it put any curse on you?"

She just said it casually, but when Chen Jingyan heard the word "curse", his expression faded a little. He was silent for a long time before answering her: "It's not a curse, it's an agreement."

"Agreement?" Shi Li became even more confused.

Chen Jingyan replied lazily: "Yes, the agreement has given me the ability to recover quickly. I pay a lot of jewelry to it every year. It requires too much. I float on the sea for 300 days a year, so I can barely maintain it every year."

"Can't you destroy this agreement? Don't you have the ability to recover and don't give it jewelry anymore." Shi Li thought for a long time and always felt that the so-called "sea witch" was too smart. She completely let Chen Jingyan work hard for it and enjoy its success.

Chen Jingyan chuckled: "I'm afraid it's not very good."

"Why?" Shi Li frowned.

Chen Jingyan closed his eyes: "Humans cannot break the contract. If they do not abide by the agreement without authorization, a terrible curse will come on them, and in the end it may be more uncomfortable than death."

"Then I'll be tied up by it for the rest of my life?" Shi Li frowned, feeling that it was too unfair.

Chen Jingyan smiled: "There is a way to terminate the agreement..."

"What is it?" Shi Li asked hurriedly.

Chen Jingyan looked at her: "...Sleep for a while and let my wound grow a little longer. Only when I sleep will the wound heal quickly."

Seeing that he did not answer positively, Shi Li couldn't help but open his mouth. Just as he was about to ask again, Chen Jingyan pointed his finger on her lips, yawned and said, "I'm really sleepy, I won't talk about this anymore."

Shi Li knew at a glance that he was unwilling to answer, so he had to stop asking, but he just laid on his arm and felt that it was wrong the more he thought about it. In the end, he couldn't help asking something else: "Apart from giving it a lot of wealth, do you have any other transactions with it? By the way, how did you escape from the sea? Did you meet someone?"

She asked several questions in a row, but couldn't wait for his answer. When she supported herself and looked at him, she found that he was asleep.

He is always shining in the sun, and his skin is darker and looks a little rough because of his carefreeness. However, with his extremely explosive muscles, it only makes people feel that they are full of hormones... Such people are indeed alive, full of vigorous vitality, not like any strange monster.

...So what is a sea witch? Why can it give people so many magical abilities? Shi Li frowned and confirmed with the system again: Is there really no sea witch in the setting of this world?

The system still answered no.

Shi Li felt that since she came to this world, her suspicion had reached a peak. Now she doesn't even trust the system. She just started to turn from the first page of the novel in her mind, reading every word very seriously.

Shen Jingyan's sleep this time was very long, long enough for Shi Li to read the book three times from beginning to end. She looked and searched repeatedly, but she couldn't find any words about the Sea Witch.

Shi Li sighed and looked down at Shen Jingyan's wound. He saw that the scabs had begun to harden and would probably fall off soon, and that piece of skin would recover as before.

Shi Li carefully stroked the three blades and confirmed that although there was a fast growth, no strange things appeared, he suddenly felt a little complicated. Is it a good thing to have this ability?

She sighed, her eyes suddenly fell on his pants, and her expression became strange in an instant... If he had such ability, even if he was injured there, he should recover soon, right?

Thinking of this, her hands began to move again. After a long time of struggle, she gritted her teeth and covered her directly in that position.

The things under her hands soared quickly, and it felt quite present in her palm. Shi Li was stunned and her cheeks suddenly turned red.

"...I think you will never die if you don't want to the Yellow River." Shen Jingyan's voice was hoarse.

Shi Li was shocked and looked at him suddenly: "Why are you awake?! Didn't you wake up after falling asleep and not wake up before time?"

"Who told you that I won't wake up until time? It just makes it difficult for me to wake up, which doesn't mean I can't wake up," Shen Jingyan said, looking at him in a complicated mood, and then looked at her, "If it's a normal situation, I will naturally not wake up, but you have attacked me directly. How could I not wake up yet?"

"...But I attacked you just now, and I slapped you, but you didn't wake up." Shi Li looked innocent.

Shen Jingyan paused: "You slapped me?"

Shi Li realized that he was too wrong and quickly closed his mouth.

Shen Jingyan chuckled and pulled her directly under him, and then he turned his knees over the bed and turned to her: "Shi Li, are you too brave?"

"...I'm too worried about you, too." Shi Li saw that his place was intact, so he immediately confessed to the lenient. "It was Xiao Wu who said that you were injured at sea. He had a bloody pants at that time. The doctors were bandaging them, so he guessed so much, and you refused to touch me..."

"So you think I can't do it too?" Chen Jingyan raised his eyebrows.

Shi Li was silent for a moment and said carefully: "I'm just afraid that you will be in a bad mood because you can't do it."

Chen Jingyan was pleased by her answer, and he squeezed her jaw and kissed her fiercely. He didn't let her go until she hummed in pain. His eyes were dark and said, "I was injured at the base of my thighs. When I bandaged it, I had to take off all my pants, so of course I won't show them."

Shi Li nodded in a daze.

"As for not touching you, I just want to wait for you to like me a little more. It's not that I don't want to touch you, nor that I'm not willing to be able to do it, do you understand?" Chen Jingyan narrowed his eyes.

Shi Li's cheeks turned redder. She wanted to lower her head as if she was escaping, but was forced to look at him. Finally, she had to nod helplessly: "I understand."

Chen Jingyan let her go, and after kissing her lips, he lowered his voice and said, "So be good, don't challenge my patience anymore."

"…Oh." Shi Li looked at him with a gaze.

Chen Jingyan chuckled, suddenly turned from her to the side, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then stopped moving, as if calming the restlessness in his body. Shi Li looked at him sideways, looked at his face carefully, and suddenly thought of a question: "Since the sea witch has given you the ability to recover quickly, why are your eyes..."

At the end, her voice became less and less, and she was not sure if her question would arouse his sadness.

Chen Jingyan looked at her sideways: "The eyes were injured before they were able to recover quickly, and all the wounds before that could not be recovered."

...No wonder he had not recovered his eyes, but also had many scars on his body. She thought it was because the wound was not recovered well enough. Now she thought that it must have been injured before getting this ability. Shi Li felt uncomfortable. After a while of silence, he said seriously: "If I see that sea witch, I will use my right eye to change yours to make you well."

Chen Jingyan was amused by her: "Who said before that he should not be a little mermaid? Why are you going to trade with the sea witch again?"

"It's different. She's making a deal for someone who doesn't love herself, and I'm not. You won't let me end like her, right?" Shi Li asked simply.

Chen Jingyan paused, and the remaining eye suddenly had a deep meaning. He was silent for a long time before saying softly: "Yes."

Shili smiled satisfied.
