"This bead is too valuable, I can't accept it."

“It’s not expensive,” Liu Ge said. “There are many of these beads in the sea.” He just spent a little time picking out the biggest one.

Yu Wanwan still felt she couldn't accept it; it would be like taking half of someone's family fortune for no reason.

Liu Ge stubbornly held onto the pearl, bobbing up and down on the sea.

Yu Wanwan was polite to him, but Mo Zhou was anything but. He curled his snake tail around the pearl and examined it with an air of nonchalance: "I've heard that the merfolk have three treasures: mermaid silk, pearls, and beauty. Mermaid silk can be made into clothes, pearls can glow at night, and beauty ranks first on the beastman continent."

Liu Ge nodded, feeling embarrassed by Mo Zhou's praise: "There are many beautiful beastmen among the merfolk, I'm just average-looking."

Mo Zhou paused for a moment, then rolled his eyes.

This silly kid probably thinks I'm praising him!

Upon hearing that it could glow, Yu Wanwan's eyes widened in surprise.

This wasn't an ordinary pearl; it was a luminous pearl. This pearl, almost the size of a head, would it blind her when it glowed at night?

Seeing that they were still not moving, You Yi urged them loudly, "Wanwan, Mozhou, we should go."

"Okay." Yu Wanwan replied to him and said goodbye to Liu Ge: "Liu Ge, we're going home now. See you again sometime."

Liu Ge nodded, her eyes filled with reluctance and anticipation for their reunion: "You must come find me in the future."

Just as Yu Wanwan was about to nod, her waist suddenly tightened, and she lost her balance as Mo Zhou lifted her up and held her in his arms.

“We’re leaving. Oh, and here’s the turtle back.” His snake tail wrapped around a corner of the fishing net, and he threw Zhiyang, net and all, into the sea, creating waves.

"Goodbye, Wanwan!" Liu Ge waved vigorously at her, "You must come see me!"
