The merman, my man novel Chapter 216

“I thought you would run away again,“ Dicken smiled at me as he took off his trench coat, baring his naked muscular form. He held me so close that my cheek began to burn, and my eyes couldn’t help drifting to his new, powerful legs. They appeared strong and straight like a supermodel’s, and his body’s ratio was just right—he probably won’t have to worry about income if he had to survive in human society.

I couldn’t help gulping just then, although my throat remained a little dry. “No way. I won’t run away ever again.“

He laughed in return, and lifted my chin to kiss me— I immediately tasted the strong taste of blood from his lips, and immediately remembered how Luna had described the dead Germans and how Dicken had devoured their marrow. Flinching in reflex, my head grew numb as there was no question that it affected my appetite.

“Dicken, your mouth…“ I told him softly.

“I forgot.“ Dicken promptly released me as he came to a realization. Touching his own lips, he walked up to a faucet beside a waterhole to wash his mouth. Then, he looked at his own reflection on the surface of the water, crouching as he touched his own ears

and checked other parts of his body. The way he examined it seriously actually left me a little amused, since he looked like a barbarian who had just integrated into human society.

I walked up and patted him on the head. Studying his handsome reflection for a while, I pretended to think about it seriously, ”Yes, there isn’t a problem with your appearance now, Dicken —if your eyes were a little friendlier, that is.”

I was telling the truth. Right now, Dicken’s presence was unlike a human’s, with his eyes that projected pale blue radiance in the darkness being the case.

There was a naturally evil air about him that made him appear a villain, and there was no doubt that I would be extra wary about someone like him if I were a police officer.
