568: Return the favor

A full five days.

With Qin Jiang's help, the Merfolk Empress's aphrodisiac poison was finally completely removed.

Lying prostrate in Qin Jiang's arms, the Merfolk Empress's pretty face was flushed. In fact, her sanity had mostly recovered two days prior.

However, the aphrodisiac poison in her body was still acting up.

So, half-heartedly, she didn't resist; instead, she cooperated with Qin Jiang.

In just a few days, she was almost completely lost in it, unable to extricate herself.

Now, she had completely sobered up.

The Merfolk Empress looked up slightly at Qin Jiang, appearing hesitant to speak.

Although they had been intimately close these past few days,

they had never had a proper conversation, and she didn't know what to do in the future.

No matter what, he was now her man.

"What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Seeing her like this, Qin Jiang spoke first.

Hearing this, the Merfolk Empress's pretty face flushed, and she lowered her head slightly, whispering,

"Thank you."

"Oh, it was nothing."

Qin Jiang smiled and said,

"Besides, although I helped you, you've already repaid me.

We're even."

"???"

Hearing this, the Merfolk Empress was slightly stunned, not understanding Qin Jiang's meaning.

When had she repaid him?

Seeing her reaction, Qin Jiang smiled slightly, extended his hand, automatically positioned it, and said meaningfully,

"I really like this kind of repayment."

"..."

Feeling Qin Jiang's caress, the Merfolk Empress's pretty face instantly turned crimson.

She understood.

So, this was the repayment.

However, this was all to save herself; could it really count as repayment?

The Merfolk Empress pondered.

And Qin Jiang, after positioning his hand, did not move it away, causing the Merfolk Empress's delicate body to soften. She hesitated slightly.

She didn't resist; in fact, she secretly cooperated.

Since he liked it, then she would repay him this way.

What's more, she also liked it very much.

Soon after, Qin Jiang saw the Merfolk Empress's beautiful eyes slightly hazy. He lowered his head, leaned close to the Merfolk Empress's ear, lightly kissed her earlobe, and whispered,

"Empress, you're so soft."

"Mmm~"

The Merfolk Empress softly hummed.

She was immersed again, now only unconsciously responding to Qin Jiang.

"You just said you wanted to thank me?"

"Mmm~"

"Can you repay me by giving yourself to me?"

"Mmm~"

No matter what Qin Jiang said, the Merfolk Empress agreed.

Qin Jiang smiled slightly and said,

"I've noted everything you've said, alright?"

"Mmm~"

The Merfolk Empress continued to agree.

She narrowed her beautiful eyes, enjoying Qin Jiang's service. After a while, the Merfolk Empress's small hands wrapped around Qin Jiang's neck, and her red lips approached.

She actively kissed Qin Jiang's lips.

Immediately after, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, her lips parted, and she tightened her grip on Qin Jiang's arm, murmuring,

"You saved me, I want to... repay you."

As her voice fell, she let out a long breath, lay in Qin Jiang's arms, and rested for a good while before her beautiful eyes slowly opened, a hint of shyness on her pretty face.

Qin Jiang lowered his head, looked at the Merfolk Empress, and teased,

"Empress, you've certainly repaid me a lot."

"Mmm~

I didn't know I could repay so much."

The Merfolk Empress was full of shyness, then asked somewhat nervously,

"Do you like it?"

"I'm a little thirsty."

"Ah?"

The Merfolk Empress was startled until she saw Qin Jiang's slightly perverted gaze.

Only then did she understand Qin Jiang's meaning.

She shyly lowered her head and whispered,

"Then... shall I pour you some water?"

"Good."
