Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 147 We can't let his wife lose her eyesight.
After the battle in the Jungle system ended, Lu Lianbai attended several meetings over the next few days.

He wanted to finish up the remaining work as soon as possible, take Jing Weimian back to the capital star, and take good care of her during her pregnancy.

That day, Lu Lianbai returned to his room at the base after finishing a meeting, but he did not see Jing Weimian.

As usual, he turned on the holographic monitoring on his bracelet and searched through it. Sure enough, he found that the pink, shimmering mermaid figure had disappeared into the sea not far from the base.

To prevent the return journey from being bumpy, Lu Lianbai hovered the starship directly above the sea.

He opened the hatch, bent down to unbutton the top rank button, and deliberately and subtly exuded a bit of his own aura.

As expected, a few minutes later, a beautiful, soft pink mermaid, as if sculpted by the waves, swam over and was immediately embraced by Lu Lianbai as soon as she surfaced.

Lu Lianbai cradled Jing Weimian's wet fishtail in his arms and carried her back to the cabin.

Perhaps it was due to the habits of mermaids, but these past two days Jing Weimian had been going to the seabed to collect nesting materials. Every time she came back, she would adorn herself with a dazzling array of jeweled seashells, and then have Lu Lianbai take them off one by one and collect them.

Although Lu Lianbai had already arranged for the expansion and furnishing of their new home on the capital planet, he was not at all disappointed by Jing Weimian's behavior. Every time, he would carefully collect Jing Weimian's fish tails for her.

Jing Weimian had been swimming in the sea for half a day and was a little tired. She leaned against Lu Lianbai's broad shoulders, her soft webbed hands instinctively tucked into her waist fins, letting Lu Lianbai wipe the water droplets off her body.

She closed her eyes and thought for a while, then couldn't help but reach out and touch Lu Lianbai's Adam's apple above his collar, asking him absentmindedly, "After these meetings are over, are we going back to the capital planet?"

Lu Lianbai did not immediately answer yes or no, but keenly noticed that his mermaid wife in his arms seemed to be deep in thought. He moved the neatly arranged fins to the other side of his arm and asked with his eyes lowered.

"What's wrong, honey? Don't you want to go back? The sea around the capital planet isn't as beautiful. If you prefer the sea around here, I can apply to stay here in the future—"

Before he could finish speaking, thin, soft pink webbed feet pressed against his lips.

"I was just asking casually, Lu Lianbai, you really have a knack for thinking outside the box!"

Jing Weimian wasn't unaware of how much Lu Lianbai missed her. Having finally returned to his side, she decided to stay by his side for a while longer, and wait until the little fish eggs in her womb officially released signals that they wanted her to migrate back to the mermaid kingdom to lay eggs before telling Lu Lianbai.

Perhaps by then Lu Lianbai's work in the war zone will be less demanding, and he can go back to the Mermaid Kingdom with her and visit his mother.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt Lu Lianbai stop adjusting the gauze fins on her face.

She then opened her eyes and activated her senses to see that Lu Lianbai was holding her fishtail with his palm, staring at the scales that his fingertips were touching.

Jing Weimian followed his gaze and saw several obvious abrasion marks on the scales.

Lu Lianbai asked, "How did you do that?"

Jing Weimian blinked, clearly not taking it too seriously: "Oh, I was swimming too fast in the sea and sometimes forgot to activate my sensory energy. I probably just scraped against some rocks or something. It's nothing."

After saying that, she casually put her arm around his neck and said, "Come back to sleep with me."

A second or two later, Lu Lianbai suppressed the slight turmoil in his eyes, calmly hummed in agreement, and took his mermaid wife back to her residence at the base.

That night, Jing Weimian, having regained her human form, got out of bed and, still half-asleep, stumbled into the bathroom, bumping into the corner of the wall less than half a minute later. Jing Weimian tried her best to hold it in, only letting out a soft groan, which would be inaudible to anyone outside unless they were paying close attention. Unfortunately, Lu Lianbai had woken up the moment she left his arms.

He got out of bed the moment Jing Weimian slipped into the bathroom, his dark pupils fixed on the closed door, almost holding his breath, afraid of missing the slightest unusual movement inside.

So much so that the moment Lu Lianbai heard Jing Weimian groan in pain, he opened the door and, without waiting for Jing Weimian to react, carried her back to bed.

When the headlights were turned on, obvious redness and swelling were visible on the right side of Jing Weimian's fair and smooth calf.

It's clear that the fall was quite severe.

"I forgot to activate my sensory energy again..."

Her voice trailed off as she glanced at him somewhat guiltily. She saw that Lu Lianbai's face was terribly cold and his jawline was taut, but he didn't say a word to her. He just silently held her on his lap and applied the medicine.

Jing Weimian knew that her actions were making her human partner worry, and her intention was just to comfort him, so she gently tugged at his arm and said, "Actually, there's no need to wipe it; I can heal and repair myself."

Upon hearing this, Lu Lianbai, who had been suppressing his emotions and remaining silent, stopped what he was doing, looked up at her, and asked, "Then didn't it hurt when you fell?"

Jing Weimian was stunned. Rationally, she knew that Lu Lianbai was only angry because he felt sorry for her. But for some reason, after staring at Lu Lianbai for a moment, she suddenly pushed him away without saying a word, got out of bed and was about to leave.

Lu Lianbai belatedly realized that his tone had been too harsh, and he immediately reached out and grabbed Jing Weimian's hand, "It's so late, where are you going, wife?"

Jing Weimian pursed her lips, probably not wanting Lu Lianbai to have to deal with her after a long day of work. So she pushed his hand away, went back to bed, and rolled herself up in the blankets, leaving none for Lu Lianbai.

She thought Lu Lianbai would come to comfort her as usual, but he didn't.

Lu Lianbai simply stood silently by her side, neither admitting his mistake nor hugging her, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

So the next day, Jing Weimian turned on her bracelet and dialed Su Huai's contact number. That afternoon, Su Huai came to pick her up from the Star Ring Base.

Jing Weimian stepped onto the starship's gangway in front of Lu Lianbai.

Just as Lu Lianbai was about to follow, Su Huai stepped forward and stopped him.

"His Highness asked me to tell General Lu that His Highness is going back to Star Ring Base for a few days, and that the General can come and pick her up after the meeting."

Lu Lianbai stared at Jing Weimian as she walked into the rest pod until it closed, then slowly looked away and said, "Okay."

Just as Su Huai turned to leave, he calmly reminded her, "She keeps forgetting to activate her sensory energy these past two days, so please keep an eye on her."

Su Huai paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Lu Lianbai watched as the starship carrying Jing Weimian departed from overhead before stepping into the cockpit of his own warship.

No matter what, he was determined not to let his wife lose her sight.
