Chapter 1199: Chapter 868: Resurrection_2

He wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace, lowering his head to kiss her lips once more.

The domineering, cold kiss tinged with the scent of seawater invaded the sweet fragrance of her mouth.

Nowadays, Jia Lan is already a Sea Emperor capable of holding his own, no longer the arrogant and carefree prince he once was; his personality has become cold and domineering. The elders and ministers of the sea area all deeply fear and respect him.

"Tangtang, will you spend more time with me?" But only in front of Shen Tang does the cold and dignified Sea Emperor reveal his deep attachment, his demeanor softening.

After months apart, Shen Tang also dearly missed him. She lightly pressed her palm against his firm chest, her cheeks flushing slightly, "Alright."

Receiving the satisfactory answer, Jia Lan curved his lips into a stunning smile, carrying Shen Tang to the bedroom, parting the bead-draped curtains, before turning to sit by the bed.

Shen Tang straddled his leg.

His long fingers landed on her graceful waist; white jade fingertips slipped through the slightly wrinkled fabric, slowly lifting it to reveal skin as delicate and beautiful as snow.

Jia Lan’s breath tightened, his deep blue eyes as profound as the deep ocean, his throat bobbing.

Unable to help himself, he leaned over to kiss her waist and belly; the icy kiss igniting a fiery warmth, like flickering flames slowly traveling upward, sending currents that made Shen Tang’s body tingle and weaken, her cheeks painted with a captivating blush.

"Ah Lan..." she murmured softly, trembling.

Jia Lan felt a tightening, his breath growing rapid, emotions surging in his eyes.

Her body could soothe him better.

More effective than any spiritual pill in this world.

He greedily wanted more, no longer restraining the desire in his heart, lightly biting her softness.

Shen Tang’s entire body shivered abruptly, letting out a soft cry, then was flipped over by Jia Lan onto the bed.

The bead curtain fell, the light veil closed.

Concealing all the scenery within the room.

...

A few days later.

Jia Lan had gained considerable control over the raging energy within him.

Shen Tang stayed at the Sea Palace to accompany him, thus spending carefree and relaxing days.

The sky outside appeared dark, indistinguishable from day or night; Shen Tang, not wanting to get out of bed, lazily lay in Jia Lan’s arms, reminiscing about the Illusion Realm depicted in murals, "What’s really going on with You Huang? Does he have any connection to Liu Ye?"

Jia Lan gently stroked her smooth long hair, nodding and then shaking his head, "You Huang was the first Calamity Mermaid; my feud with Liu Ye started because of him... If there’s any connection, Liu Ye is the inheritor of his calamity power."

Jia Lan’s beautiful lips pressed tightly, his gaze growing distant, as if lost in some memory, "Ten thousand years ago, You Huang allied with the Abyss, becoming the King of Calamity."

"The prophecy said his power would destroy the sea area."

"At that time, the Sea Emperor, who was also his elder brother, used the most dangerous and malicious Forbidden Technique of the Sea Clan—Symbiotic Technique, sealing him within his own body at the cost of his life, merging them into one, thus giving rise to the Cursed Mermaid myth."

"Later, the Land of Origin shattered, and Beast World Continent and Eris Star parted ways, both inheriting the Sea Clan’s lineage, enduring many incidents in between... Eventually, the Cursed Mermaid’s bloodline reached Atlantis, becoming the Sea Race High Priest, later my father Lunus. And then... came me."

Jia Lan said, letting out a soft scoff, somewhat rueful, "My ancestor forcibly merged with the calamity, becoming the dual-faced Cursed Mermaid. Now, in my generation, the calamity power has completely separated from me."

"Things have come full circle, returning to the beginning after all."

Shen Tang, struck by a realization, was startled, "So you’re saying, back when Liu Ye was taken away by an unknown force, your ancestor hoped you could seal the calamity again, but that would mean..."

Jia Lan clearly recalled the unexpected incident from several years ago; he was about to completely merge with Liu Ye and end their feud, but Liu Ye was suddenly taken by another power, interrupting the fusion. He suffered severe backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood, nearly causing his realm to fall, hence underwent prolonged seclusion.

Jia Lan nodded, "He’s still alive."

"...You Huang is still alive? Liu Ye is You Huang?!" Shen Tang propped herself up, her voice growing sharp.

Jia Lan pulled Shen Tang back into his arms once more, fingers softly brushing over her slightly panicked eyes, shaking his head, "We can’t indiscriminately label them as one; to be more precise, Liu Ye is a part of You Huang. He is the embodiment of the remaining calamity power in the world, You Huang’s most important origin power."

"You Huang wishes to resurrect and return, requiring the retrieval of Liu Ye."

"The You Huang we killed in the Illusion Realm was merely a trace of resentment he left behind ten thousand years ago; his real entity hasn’t vanished completely... Now, I fear he has already been revived." Jia Lan mentioned, his face darkening with concern.

Thinking that after dealing with the Divine Hall, he could finally live a stable life, now it seemed matters were far from over and more daunting than before.

Shen Tang remained silent for a moment, perhaps struggling to find words to express the shock in her heart.

Seeing Shen Tang’s face pale, Jia Lan thought she was frightened and quickly comforted her, "Don’t worry, even if You Huang truly revived, he won’t regain his peak power from ten thousand years ago anytime soon. Moreover, if he could be sealed once ten thousand years ago, I can seal him again now."

Shen Tang rubbed her forehead, looking pale, "I’m a bit dizzy..."

Jia Lan felt a pang in his heart, "Tangtang, are you unwell?"

Shen Tang shook her head, "It’s nothing, just a bit hungry, feeling weak... Maybe I haven’t eaten much these past few days."

Jia Lan felt overwhelmingly guilty; although with their current powers, supplementing energy with Energy Baryte was sufficient to maintain bodily function regardless of meals, as a male, he’d long foregone eating, yet Shen Tang as a female still required ample nutrition. Caught up in spending time with her, he forgot such an important matter!

"There are many delicacies from the sea not found on land; I’ll have someone prepare them right away."
