Werebeast Gongs CH 071 Establishing The Relationship
Afterwards, Lei Jin lay sprawled on the straw bed, his legs splayed wide, too weak to close. His lower half was covered in sticky, white traces, and the bed was a mess from the three of them.
He couldn’t tell who had pulled out of him, but the cool breeze entering his stretched entrance sent a shiver through him.
Lei Jin had no idea what time it was, as the blindfold still covered his eyes.
"You take him to wash up. I'll clean up here," Xiya's voice came, still hoarse but undeniably satisfied.
"En," Moya responded, his voice close by.
Lei Jin felt the blindfold being removed, and the sudden light made him squint and close his eyes.
Moya picked up a relatively clean piece of clothing from the scattered pile on the ground and wrapped it around Lei Jin before carrying him to the stream in the forest to wash up.
Turns out the sun hadn’t set yet, and the daylight outside was bright. But several hours must have passed since lunch.
Although day and night made little difference to werebeasts, this was the first time Moya had held Lei Jin in such bright light, examining his body so closely. After thoroughly washing Lei Jin, Moya began cleaning where they had been inside him. His fingers probed gently, and the mixed fluids from both of them trickled down Lei Jin’s thighs. Moya’s eyes flickered, and he lifted Lei Jin’s legs, slowly entering him again, this time with extra care, knowing Lei Jin was exhausted from their earlier activities.
Lei Jin had braced himself for this and only let out a soft groan, allowing Moya to continue.
The forest air was fresh after the rain, and their figures intertwined as ripples spread across the water’s surface.
When they returned, Xiya had already tidied up the cave. It was relatively clean, though the faint scent of their earlier passion still lingered.
In his drowsy state, Lei Jin felt someone lift him up and feed him something—chewed meat and porridge—through their mouth.
When Lei Jin woke up again, he was alone in the cave. It was quiet, and a large golden halo of sunlight shone at the entrance. A green leaf, blown in by the wind, had landed near the straw bed. Judging by past experience, it must be midday again. He tried to sit up, but the soreness deep inside made him grimace.
Lei Jin closed his eyes, a sarcastic smile tugging at his lips. Lei Jin, look how pathetic you’ve become. When did you fall to this point? Like some abandoned woman. And now you’ve slept with two men at the same time. I used to pity Roger, but in the end, I’ve ended up in the same situation. He had to return to his original world. Modern society was where he belonged, not here, entangled in unclear relationships with two men.
"Lei Jin, are you awake?" Moya’s voice came from outside. He entered holding a steaming wooden bowl.
"If you’re awake, have something to eat. You haven’t had breakfast yet," Moya said, noticing Lei Jin’s fingers twitch but getting no response. He knew Lei Jin was awake but probably unwilling to forgive their actions from the previous day.
"It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have joined in later," Moya said, taking Lei Jin’s hand.
Lei Jin thought the first part sounded reasonable, but the next sentence nearly made him jump up in anger. Moya added, somewhat pitifully, "But it had been so long since I’d touched you, and you and Elder Brother were…"
Not wanting to hear a replay of what had happened, Lei Jin let out a soft grunt to cut him off.
"Have some water. Your throat must be uncomfortable," Moya said, helping Lei Jin sit up and lean against him. He fed him half a bowl of water.
"Elder Brother went to deliver some things to Berg. We should be leaving in a couple of days," Moya said, kissing Lei Jin lightly on the lips after he drank.
"Stay away from me," Lei Jin said, his voice hoarse despite the water. After shouting and moaning for nearly an entire afternoon, his throat was wrecked.
"Alright, don’t be mad at me. I made porridge and the mushrooms you like. Let’s go out and eat," Moya said, helping Lei Jin into his clothes. Only then did Lei Jin realize he had been sleeping naked, wrapped only in one of Xiya’s garments.
"Wait a moment. Let me apply some medicine. It’s still a bit swollen," Moya said, parting Lei Jin’s legs to inspect the area. Suppressing his emotions, he calmly applied some green medicinal paste. "We don’t have jade mugwort, so this is just ordinary anti-inflammatory medicine. It might take longer to heal."
Moya spoke naturally, but Lei Jin felt like strangling him. He kicked Moya in frustration, only to wince from the tugging pain it caused him.
"Moya?" Lei Jin called during their meal.
"What?" Moya looked up from feeding him, his eyes filled with warmth.
"We…"
"Moya!" Xiya’s voice, panicked and urgent, interrupted before Lei Jin could finish. Xiya appeared at the entrance, seeing Lei Jin in Moya’s arms. "Lei Jin, you’re awake?"
"What’s wrong?" Moya asked, noticing Xiya’s expression.
Xiya glanced at Lei Jin before saying, "That Berg suddenly said his stomach hurt, then collapsed. He’s bleeding… down there."
Although Xiya often seemed calm and steady, even a bit shameless, he had little experience with such situations, having only been intimate with Lei Jin before.
"He looks like he’s in unbearable pain," Xiya added.
"Let’s go see," Lei Jin said. Since learning that Berg had been violated and might be pregnant, Lei Jin had taken more interest in his condition.
"Let’s go," Moya said, picking Lei Jin up. Carrying him on his back wasn’t an option now.
Lei Jin understood the urgency and didn’t argue, letting Moya carry him. The three of them quickly reached the cave where Berg was staying.
Before they even entered, they heard Berg’s agonized screams.
Inside, they saw a massive golden fishtail thrashing wildly against the ground. Blood stained both the floor and Berg’s body.
Moya set Lei Jin down at the entrance, afraid Berg might accidentally hurt him in his frenzied state.
The two approached Berg, avoiding the range of his thrashing tail, and pinned his shoulders from either side.
"Berg, what’s wrong?" Moya asked, struggling to hold him down as Berg’s strength was immense.
"Moya, it hurts… my stomach… it hurts so much…" Berg’s eyes were red, and his mouth was bleeding from biting down too hard.
"Moya, give me some medicine… please…" Berg clutched Moya’s wrist desperately.
"We have some pain-relieving herbs left. Should I go get them?" Xiya asked, worried Berg might die from the pain.
Moya hesitated, then shook his head.
"Moya, I was wrong… I shouldn’t have hurt your mate… please, give me the medicine… it hurts so much…" Berg pleaded, thinking Moya still held a grudge over Lei Jin.
"Moya?" Xiya frowned, knowing his brother wasn’t usually this cold-hearted.
"Berg, is it possible you’re pregnant?" Moya asked bluntly. Although they hadn’t discussed it openly, everyone knew what had happened to Berg.
Xiya, unaware of the golden merfolk situation, looked puzzled but didn’t press for details.
Berg’s face paled, and a look of deep pain crossed his eyes. "No… it’s impossible… absolutely impossible…"
But was it really impossible? Berg knew better. During his captivity, that man had come to him every night. Merfolk had a six-month gestation period, and it had been about two months since then. Even if he hadn’t paid much attention, basic knowledge of his kind told him the truth.
The three exchanged glances, realizing there was a high chance Berg was indeed pregnant.
But none of them had experience with such a situation. They couldn’t risk giving Berg any medicine. Finally, Lei Jin suggested feeding Berg some of the hot porridge Moya had made. Warm food couldn’t hurt, right?
Seeing Berg’s resigned expression after Moya’s question, they knew they wouldn’t get any useful information from him. They had no choice but to try what they can.
Xiya and Moya managed to force two bowls of porridge into Berg. Exhausted, Berg soon fell unconscious.
"Is the bleeding still happening?" Lei Jin asked without much hesitation.
"It seems to have stopped," Xiya replied, slightly embarrassed.
After settling Berg, the three of them left the cave.
Lei Jin didn’t want to be carried, so Xiya and Moya supported him on either side, treating him as if he might vanish at any moment.
"Let’s sit over there. I have something to say," Lei Jin said, pointing to a large, dry rock by the path.
The spot offered a view of the vast, blue sea, making one feel insignificant in the face of nature.
"What do you want to say?" Xiya asked.
"I can accept both of you," Lei Jin began. The two men’s faces lit up with hope, but Lei Jin quickly added, "Wait, let me finish."
They quieted, obediently listening to what he had to say. They felt that anything else didn't matter as much now that Lei Jin was willing to accept them.
"But I won’t participate in any ceremonies with you," Lei Jin said. He knew that ceremonies here were akin to marriage in the modern world, and he wanted no part of it.
"Why?" Moya brushed Lei Jin’s hair aside, trying to read his expression.
"I have to return to my original world. We can only be bed partners," Lei Jin stated firmly. After everything that had happened, he was no longer as optimistic as when he first arrived. Surviving alone in this unfamiliar world was nearly impossible.
For now, he could only rely on these two men. In his mind, as long as emotions weren’t involved, maintaining a physical relationship was acceptable.
"What kind of arrangement is this?" Xiya’s voice turned deep.
"You don’t have to accept it," Lei Jin replied with a cold smile.
"If it were anyone else, would you make the same offer without hesitation?" Moya’s tone was equally displeased. They both had some idea of Lei Jin’s thoughts and why he was doing this, but understanding didn’t mean they agreed.
Lei Jin frowned, thinking that if it were anyone else forcing themselves on him, he’d have crippled them by now.
But he kept his thoughts to himself and asked, "So, do you agree or not? Just say it."
Moya stared at him silently, clearly unwilling.
Lei Jin turned away in frustration.
Surprisingly, Xiya suddenly smiled brightly and said, "If we agree, does that mean you won’t mind being intimate with us in the future?"
"Elder Brother…"
"I want to hear Lei Jin’s answer," Xiya cut Moya off.
Though Lei Jin found Xiya’s sudden change in attitude suspicious, he nodded. What was done was done, and a few more times wouldn’t make much difference.
"Good," Xiya said, his deep violet eyes unreadable. "Then you probably won’t mind doing it with us right here, either." He patted the sun-warmed rock they were sitting on.
