“In the future, you’ll be our village’s female. Stay here at ease. I’ll help you to take care of your children until they are capable of surviving on land.”


  “Why?” Bai Qingqing looked at King and asked.

  Feeling that her posture made her appear too weak, Bai Qingqing bore with the pain and stood up.

  “You’ve lost your female for over ten years. Why haven’t you found a substitute in these ten years but insist on making me one now?”


  “They like you, and things have blown up. If we were to let you go, we won’t be able to settle the matter.”


  King made things very simple and looked at Bai Qingqing, finally showing a hint of emotion in his eyes.

  “Our tribe is different from the beastmen on land. We only have one female in the entire village. If the female is gone, then we’ll be wiped out. Therefore, please stay.”


  King’s cold voice held a hint of pleading. “If you’re sincere in staying, we’ll treat you very well.”


  Bai Qingqing was astonished. There were so many merfolks. All of them were Jean’s husbands?

  Oh god! In that instant, she felt that the polyandry on land was too weak in comparison!

  This was what f*cking stunning was like!

  Was what f*cking stunning was like!

  What f*cking stunning was like!

  F*cking stunning was like!

  Stunning was like!

  Was like!

  Like!

  !

  The first thought that came to Bai Qingqing’s mind was to tell them that Jean was in the City of Beastmen. However, she quickly thought of how Jean didn’t wish to stay in the sea in the first place. If she were to cause Jean to be brought back and then the news was to spread that her mate, Curtis, was the one who had stolen Jean in the first place, in addition to their old feuds, the consequences…


  They probably wouldn’t be able to get salt anymore, let alone being able to reside by the sea.

  “What if I’m unwilling?”


  When Bai Qingqing looked at King, she thought of their pain in the ass setting, and her lips couldn’t help but twitch. She faked a cough to conceal it and then said, “My mate loves me a lot. You guys have experienced what it feels like to lose your mate. You wouldn’t want to force others to go through the same thing, right?”


  King said, “You can leave after giving birth to a female. I remember that you females from the land can give birth to female children regardless of your age. You’ll get the chance to return to your mate on the land. Of course, if you wish to stay, you’re welcome to do so as well.”


  Bai Qingqing was rendered speechless. Damn! Bandits!

  Moreover, I won’t let my daughter be involved in such a serious play.

  “Then what about you? What will happen to me after you find Jean?”


  King smiled with a hint of self-ridicule.

  “Find Jean, or die.”


  King’s lie might be able to deceive others, but not himself. They had been abandoned.

  No matter how capable the male who had stolen her was, he couldn’t have been able to reach the cave in an instant. As long as Jean cried out for help, no matter how strong that male was, they wouldn’t have been ignorant about losing their female.

  Bai Qingqing had no idea if King’s voice was too deep that she heard a hint of hatred from it.

  Would males hate females as well?

  Bai Qingqing had only seen males who spoiled their mates everywhere on land and also in the sea. She hadn’t seen any who hated females before. She wasn’t certain if her feeling was correct.

  “If we find her, I can leave together with her. You can leave as well if you wish to. The choice is up to you.” King’s voice returned to its calm state.

  From the merfolks’ stand, Bai Qingqing felt that this trade was quite considerate. However, no matter how considerate it was, it wasn’t something that she wanted!

  “Jean, I’m back.”


  Bluepool’s voice rang out. However, he only appeared outside the cave after a while.

  King’s gaze moved between Bai Qingqing and Bluepool, then he said to her, “Bluepool is the merfolk in our village with the greatest potential. The two of you should nurture your relationship.”


  After saying that, he left without hesitation.

  Bai Qingqing’s breathing immediately became a lot smoother. This was the first time that Bluepool felt that their leader was quite good.
