Chosen Mate Of The Beastmen Empire novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 

“Seafarion.” Nyx jolted awake, realizing the male holding her was burning with fever, his body temperature clearly abnormal. 

Hearing her cry out, Theon immediately barged in through the door. 

The intruder’s presence triggered Seafarion’s alertness, enraging him. 

Though Theon had anticipated this, he still grunted in pain as he was attacked, staggering a few steps from the force. 

The sound affected Nyx as well, and she appeared disoriented. 

Seafarion thought, ‘Don’t hurt her.‘ 

He struggled to retract his strength from Nyx, loosening his hold on her, and then, unable to endure any longer, slammed his head into the wall. 

Nyx regained some clarity and saw Seafarion writhing and struggling. 

His beautiful fishtail was covered in blood, marks of self–inflicted wounds from trying to release his pain. 

Nyx recalled what Seafarion’s grandfather had said: Eldergene Awakening is a highly dangerous ability with a very high mortality rate. 

She hadn’t fully understood what this meant until now. 

“Is there any way to help him?” She turned to Seafarion’s grandfather, her words frantic and incoherent. 

Seafarion’s grandfather’s expression was filled with sorrow as he shook his head helplessly. 

This was Seafarion’s battle alone. No one could help. 

He gestured for Nyx to leave. “You shouldn’t stay here. He’s lost his sanity, and if the pain gets too much, he might hurt you.” 

An out–of–control male was already full of aggression, and with Seafarion in the midst of Eldergene Awakening, his destructive power was unimaginable. 

Nyx sat hopelessly on the bed, staring blankly at Seafarion. 

Seafarion was usually so conscious of his appearance, but now he looked completely disheveled, his hair a mess, and his handsome face covered in sweat and blood. 

He stared at Nyx with an intense gaze, as though he couldn’t bear to look away, wanting to watch her for just a little longer. 

His eyes were filled with longing, almost tangible, but he deliberately kept his distance from Nyx. 

The pain was unbearable. He was afraid of losing control and hurting her, so he tried to stay as far away as possible. 

Nyx’s gaze fell on the collar around his neck, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. “No, I’m not leaving.” 

Without thinking, she threw herself into Seafarion’s arms. 

“Oh, my Beast God.” Seafarion’s grandfather witnessed this bold act and was completely startled. 

He couldn’t bear to see Nyx get hurt, so he instinctively closed his eyes. 

A while had passed. There was no scream, and instead, the room became eerily quiet.

Seafarion’s grandfather opened his eyes and muttered in shock, “Oh, my Beast God.” 

Seafarion froze in place, with Nyx clinging to him.

The burning pain in his body still lingered, but the pleasure of being held by his beloved dulled his senses, and strangely, he calmed down. 

Hesitating for a moment, he gently placed his hands on Nyx’s back and caressed her lovingly. 

Seafarion’s grandfather was speechless for a while, and then tears began to fall from his eyes. 

He didn’t try to convince Nyx to leave, nor did he attempt to forcibly separate them. He turned and left the room. 

He trusted Nyx and was willing to respect her decision. If anything were to go wrong, he would take responsibility. 

But at this moment, moved and trusting, and with a bit of selfishness, he hoped that Nyx would stay with Seafarion through his bloodline awakening. 

The room returned to silence. 

With no interruptions, Seafarion felt even more peaceful and happy. He nestled against Nyx, gently lifting her arm and nibbling it lightly. 

He loved Nyx so much that he felt like he could just devour her. But he couldn’t bear to. 

Nyx felt a moist sensation on her arm. Although his sharp teeth bit her, it didn’t cause her any pain. 

She grasped Seafarion’s collar and leaned in, kissing him. 

The out–of–control male Seafarion lost all reason but somehow instinctively learned how to kiss, exchanging breaths with his beloved Nyx. 

-Once the connections were built, Seafarion seemed to suddenly snap into understanding, no longer confused. 

With Nyx by his side, the pain of awakening was reduced to its lowest. The fiery sensation inside his body slowly faded, and strength filled Seafarion’s frame, finally under his full control. 

The Eldergene Awakening was a success. The crisis was safely over. 

Nyx finally got some good news: Because the awakening succeeded, Seafarion’s tail fin could turn into legs. 

He wasn’t used to walking on two legs. At first, it was like a disabled person going through rehab–he staggered and struggled to walk. 

Nyx saw the serious look on his face, with his lips tightly pressed together, and she couldn’t help but laugh, thinking he looked like a little mermaid from a fairy tale. 

Seafarion thought she was laughing at him, so he lowered his head in embarrassment. 

“Let me tell you a story,” Nyx, seeing through his insecurity, gently soothed him. “It’s a famous fairy tale from the world I used to live in. 

Seafarion’s eyes flickered, and he looked up. 

The story wasn’t long, and he listened intently. 

When he heard about the little mermaid exchanging her voice for legs, and how each step felt like walking on a blade, he

blushed, realizing Nyx wasn’t mocking him, but placing him in the story. 

He naturally placed himself in the little mermaid’s shoes, with Nyx being his prince.
