Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey-Chapter 950: A Siren?

Lips slowly parted as Aether finally drew breath—his chest rising in a trembling gasp, as if the ocean itself had just allowed him life again. His lashes fluttered, wet and heavy… and then, his eyes slowly opened.

And he saw… a…

She.

She wasn't human—no, not by anything the world above would dare call real—but gods, she was beautiful.

Terrifyingly so!!

Like a secret the sea had never meant to share. A forbidden wonder lurking in the deep, too exquisite and too wild to belong to any world he knew.

Aether's breath caught. Floating just beyond reach, framed in the sapphire haze of the deep, was a woman—no, a siren.

Her gaze met his, and the world fell silent.

Her eyes… haunting. A shade of deep purple, not merely a colour but a sensation—like velvet soaked in midnight.

Her hair drifted around her like silken seaweed, chestnut strands glowing faintly bronze beneath the sunless light. Each lock coiled and floated in slow, hypnotic waves, dancing with the current as though it obeyed her will alone.

Then he saw the gills.

At first, they seemed like shadows tucked into the soft lines of her neck. But as she gently tilted her head, the illusion broke. Delicate slits slowly parted, pulsing in a quiet rhythm.

Three on each side, perfectly spaced behind her jaw, rimmed with faint glowing veins—like moonlight trapped beneath the skin. As they opened, the tender flesh within was revealed: a soft blush of crimson and lilac, wet and layered, flexing with each exhale.

Her body flowed like a sculpture melted into flesh. Skin pale as crushed pearl, subtly iridescent, kissed with hues of seafoam green and violet.

Her curves were dangerously alluring—soft in all the right places, full, ripe, perfect. Breasts full and buoyant, their generous weight crowned with the faintest shimmer, like stardust scattered on her skin. Her waist tapered in with hypnotic grace, sinuous and teasing, naturally guiding the eye downward even if he tried not to look.

And then—the tail.

Where her luscious hips ended, the ocean began again. Scales as dark as obsidian and rich as indigo rippled over her skin, shifting like liquid armour. Each one shimmered like a precious gem, catching the light with each subtle movement. They tapered down her long, muscular form, every contour built with elegance and power.

The fin behind her undulated with slow, sultry grace.

Aether... blankly stared at her... he even forgot to breathe!

/A-Aether.../

Suddenly, a voice entered his mind—soft, shy, and all too familiar. Aether flinched slightly, startled from his trance, as his wide eyes focused and saw the siren's cheeks bloom with a deep, bashful red.

She was blushing.

/C-Celestia?/

He stammered, as if he couldn't trust his own senses, as if the beauty before him might vanish the moment he blinked.

/Indeed… It's me.../ she replied through their telepathic connection. Her voice, though inside his mind, carried that same breathy softness he adored. She swam slowly around him, her body coiling with sensual elegance, showing her every angle like a living masterpiece rotating in sacred water.

She turned, flipped, curved gracefully, letting him see her from every direction—her glowing tail, the gentle sway of her hips, the ethereal shimmer along her back.

/W-What do you think...?/ she asked gently. Her voice trembled slightly with hesitation. /I... I wasn't sure if you'd like this form... I worried... maybe you'd find it... too strange./

Aether blinked, completely entranced. He couldn't take his eyes off her—every inch of her was captivating.

Enchanting... His eyes devoured her, shamelessly drawn to every curve, every glow, every shimmering contour of her divine, alien form. She was the first siren he'd ever seen—and more than that, she was his Celestia.

His beloved.

She was dangerous.

She was divine.

She was fucking hot.

/Are you serious...? Are you seriously asking me that?!/ Aether finally burst out into her mind, his thoughts raw, breathless. /Oh my fucking goodness... Look at you. Just look at you… You look... fucking incredible. Celestia, you're beyond awesome. You're... un-fucking-real.../

/R-Really...?/ she whispered shyly, her fingers curling near her chest as she slowed her swimming, hovering just inches closer. Her body moved like a living dream—gliding through the water with gentle ripples like she was born from it.

/I mean, shit... You're like... everything. You're hot as hell and beautiful and just... fucking perfect.../ he muttered mentally, stunned into awe and need.

Celestia flinched, then blushed harder—deep red washing over her pale, shimmering cheeks as she inwardly sighed with relief.

Her heart swelled knowing he didn't just accept her form—he was obsessed with it. Slowly, she swam even closer, circling him again with slow, teasing motions, her body brushing the water around him like silk.

Aether's eyes were glued to her body... his heart pounding against his ribs like it wanted out.

He was burning with curiosity, desire, and fascination. He squinted slightly, leaning in as his eyes roamed lower, thoughts spinning—'Where is her... puss—'

/Hey.../

A sudden, deadpan voice struck him flatly through their link. Aether froze, blinking. He coughed awkwardly as if caught in the act, his cheeks flaring hot, then slowly floated toward her and reached out—his hands catching her by the hips.

His palms sank gently into her scaled sides. The texture was firm but smooth, a cool sleekness that shimmered under his fingers. He moved slowly, carefully, reverently.

Celestia shivered slightly.

"Hmm~" she hummed softly, a gentle moan escaping her lips as his touch spread warmth through her. Her eyes fluttered half-closed as his hands caressed along the delicate slope of her hips, tracing the curve where flesh met shimmering scale.

As much as Aether wanted to explore her every curve and secret crevice—his eyes shamelessly drinking in her sensual form—right now, his lungs had a far more pressing need: air.

Celestia leaned in, her luscious lips brushing against his with a delicate tenderness. Then, she kissed him—mouth to mouth—pouring air into him like a loving offering.

Aether raised his eyebrows slightly, surprised by the act, especially as his gaze drifted and caught the elegant flutter of her gills, bubbling softly as they pulsed along her slender neck.

He could see her breathing for him.

/Okay now?/ she asked sweetly, her voice soft inside his mind, a melodic murmur that still echoed with shy heat.

Aether nodded quickly, /Why… why did you bring me here?/ he asked curiously, though his attention betrayed him—his eyes stared at her tail only!

/I wanted to show you something… a secret,/ she replied in a quiet, vulnerable tone. /I've been hiding something too, Aether./

Before he could ask more, she suddenly caught hold of his hand—her fingers locking tightly with his—and then…

Ssssslllllgggggggggggg!!

With a powerful flick of her tail, she launched them both into the ocean's depths. The water roared around him, pressure rising, bubbles chasing them as her sinuous form cut through the sea like a living arrow.

Aether blinked in surprise, caught off guard by her sheer speed and fluid grace. Her strength was incredible.

He watched the world around him shift and change: bioluminescent creatures pulsing like stars, strange rock formations twisted by pressure, glowing algae drifting like floating lights. Weird and beautiful aquatic organisms moved with alien elegance, surrounding them in an undersea dream.

He could've used his barrier—just like the one he used to survive in space. That would've made everything easier. But no... he didn't want easy.

He wanted this.

He wanted to feel the water. To feel her touch, her pulse, the realness of it all. The push of the current, the pressure on his skin. Her warmth near him. Her hand holding his. And of course, if he ever needed more air, he could always steal another kiss from her.

Mouth to mouth.

What else did he need?

Eventually, they reached a strange cave-like structure nestled at the bottom of the ocean floor... It resembled a normal cave from land, but somehow it had formed right here, underwater.

Aether's face turned curious, eyes narrowing as he stared at it. Celestia slowly swam to its entrance, then turned to him with a soft smile.

/Shall we?/ she asked, offering her hand again.

Aether nodded silently and reached forward—and then—

Thud!

Splashhh!

Aether stumbled slightly, surprised as he landed on solid ground—inside the cave—on his feet. He gasped as he realised something stunning.

He could breathe.

Air.

There was actual air inside.

He turned around sharply, eyes wide. The entrance behind him still shimmered with seawater, but it didn't pour in. The water stayed outside, like an invisible curtain.

There was no visible barrier, no magic field he could detect. Just water... staying outside.

Aether blinked again and slowly moved toward it. He reached out—his hand touched the water.

It felt real. Liquid. Cold. Wet. There was just no flow—as if the water had agreed to not enter this space.

"...It's surprising, isn't it?" freewebnσvel.cѳm

Her voice called out like a melody. Aether turned, stunned once more—and found Celestia standing there in her usual form.

Maid uniform. Glasses perched perfectly. That quiet, graceful demeanour is back in full presence.

She looked like the same Celestia...

"How... did you do that?" he asked curiously, still breathless.

Celestia didn't answer immediately. She simply winked playfully and then raised her hand. With a smooth gesture, the water soaking his body suddenly shifted—rippling outward as if summoned.

In seconds, he was dry. Clean. Warm.

"Welcome to my humble little abode, my darling~" she said sweetly, her cheeks flushed with a soft blush as she bowed politely before him.

Aether blinked, then gave a small smile. "Thank you~" he murmured, bowing slightly in return.

Together, they stepped deeper into the cave. The walls were rough and dry, untouched by the sea around them... Aether couldn't hide his fascination. The way this place worked... it defied everything he knew.

There was no magic field, no aura. Just dry stone where there should be nothing but water.

Soon, they reached a small wooden door nestled into the cave wall. Weathered but sturdy. Celestia gently opened it and stepped aside.

"A... room?" Aether muttered, confused for a second. But as he stepped through, his eyes widened with stunned awe.

"Wow..." Aether whispered, his voice soft with wonder. His steps moved forward without thinking, drawn like a moth to flame.

He was completely mesmerised by the scenery before him.

Watching him, Celestia smiled softly from behind. That gentle, proud smile of someone who had just revealed a piece of their soul—and been accepted completely.

She followed him quietly, her heart fluttering, her eyes shining.

She had shown him her world.

And he had stepped into it like he belonged.
