The Merman, My Man by Black Velvet Chapter 91

“Dicken, wait! You’re hurt, don’t be impulsive! “

Even though I knew there was no way I could stop him, I still inadvertently clutched his arm.

It was then that I noticed that the long hair cascading on his back had blood dripping from it. It must’ve been a severe wound considering it was bleeding like that.

I hadn’t noticed it before because the night was dark, and his hair had concealed the wound.

Suddenly, the pain from my wound caused by the pelican eel’s bite flared up. It was either because I was reminded of it from seeing Dicken’s wound or that I was only now able to react. Nonetheless, it was a sharp pain that was difficult to endure, like a dagger had stabbed straight into my spine. The stinging pain caused my back to arch forward as I dug my fingernails into my skin to endure it.

‘What’s going on? Why is it suddenly hurting so much?’

I gritted my teeth to withstand it, and I subconsciously desired Dicken’s saliva to heal me. But how could I ask for that in a situation like this? I couldn’t distract him from the fight, or he would lose the upper hand.

Therefore, when Dicken turned around to look at me, I reflexively dived into the water, only exposing my head above it. My wound was submerged into the salty seawater, and my body twitched in pain from its contact. When my head broke through the water surface, I pretended like everything was fine.

I gritted my teeth to prevent myself from yelling in pain. Then, I stared into Dicken’s eyes and pretended to be calm as I said, “Dicken, you’re injured. The odds are not in your favor. Could you try negotiating with that androgynous-looking guy instead?“
