Can Mermaids Lay Snake Eggs?

[Thick-Skinned Beauty Mermaid Bottom x Brutal Amnesiac Giant Python Top]

Si Lin transmigrated into the body of a mermaid, and the very next second, he was sent to sing for the Lord of the Jungle.

Legend had it that the Lord of the Jungle was cruel and bloodthirsty, and anyone who sang for him was unlikely to make it out alive.

Si Lin, who couldn't carry a tune: ...I'm done for!

He gritted his teeth and howled his way through the song. The death he'd imagined never came, and the legendary giant python of the jungle was nowhere to be seen either.

At some point, a pair of icy eyes had appeared in the cave, staring at him.

Si Lin trembled before the boy with a human torso and a serpent's tail, terrified he'd be torn in two at any moment.

But the other boy's expression was haughty, his gaze unfocused. A moment later...

All that remained in his eyes was a faint bewilderment.

"I can't remember anything right now."

"Can you tell me who you are?"

At that moment, Si Lin, who had gone nine meals without food in three days, could only stare ravenously at the boy's thick, pitch-black snake tail.

The law of the jungle was simple: the strong prey on the weak.

Stick with him and there'd definitely be meat to eat!!!

"I'm..." Si Lin secretly wiped away the tears at the corner of his mouth and brazenly lied to his future meal ticket:

"Your brother! Your... your cousin, I mean."

Every hundred years, when a giant python of the jungle sheds its skin, it needs a mermaid's song to protect it.

On the day Saliuka turned ten thousand, he failed to shed his skin and lost his memories, returning to the appearance of a boy.

When Saliuka woke up, he had acquired a mermaid cousin.

Or, to put it another way, a beautiful and ignorant creature, lazy and overflowing with sympathy, greedy and sleepy, with no understanding of the law of survival at all.

A supply of provisions.

Much later, Saliuka could calmly upgrade the mermaid's status from provisions to his possession, yet he caught his cousin sneaking glances at the muscular chest and trim waist of the black panther next door in human form. His eyes would go completely round.

The boy-shaped Saliuka: "..."

Jealousy grew alongside his possessiveness, spreading like a wildfire.

*

Only when Saliuka deliberately hitched up his clothes did Si Lin realize:

His meal ticket would grow up overnight one day.

Thoughtfully, he grabbed his cheap little brother and asked, practically bursting with curiosity, "Saliuka, you're not a kid anymore. Have you found someone to lay eggs with?"

The other boy said nothing, only looking back at him darkly.

Si Lin wore an expression that said, "I understand," and was about to tease him when he felt a cold snake tail slide up his back.

Si Lin: ?!!!

But it was already too late.

Every one of Saliuka's glances and every movement seemed to tell the same truth.

He wanted him.

The winding serpent's tail coiled around the stiffened mermaid. Coldness and cruelty filled the emerald-green slit pupils.

A scarlet forked tongue flicked out, its chill lingering by Si Lin's ear like the most intimate whisper between lovers.

"There is a price to pay for claiming kinship with the Lord of the Jungle."

"You will bear my offspring and continue my bloodline."

※Before You Read※

1. The top and bottom are not related, so lying comes with a price.

2. It looks like a younger-top/older-bottom pairing, but the top only seems like a boy. He's actually around ten thousand years old and genuinely has amnesia.

3. The egg-laying plot is left ambiguous, but it will be addressed near the end.

4. The writing is amateurish and the logic may have some holes, so please be kind~
