Under the bright red moon, Yu Wanwan sat on the beach.

In front of her were sliced ​​fish and seaweed sauce. This time, the seaweed sauce was different from the one Liu Ge had given her last time. It tasted much sweeter, and if you dipped too much in it, it would be a bit too sweet.

The mermaid captain sat next to Yu Wanwan, fulfilling his duty to monitor her, while the other mermaids sat not far away, their fish tails soaking in the seawater.

Yu Wanwan coughed lightly and began to try to get closer to the mermaid captain: "Um, thank you for taking care of me today, you are such a good person."

Having absolutely no experience in flirting, Yu Wanwan's first words were to give someone a "friend zone" card.

The mermaid captain couldn't figure out why Yu Wanwan was thanking him. He was never good at communicating with females, and now, facing Yu Wanwan, he couldn't say a word.

Yu Wanwan glanced cautiously at the mermaid captain. He was expressionless and seemed to want to ignore her.

Normally, Yu Wanwan would have backed down immediately, but now she needed to gather more information to help her escape, so she had to endure the awkwardness and continue the conversation.

"Um... my name is Yu Wanwan, what's your name?"

The mermaid captain remained silent, his eyes fixed on the sea, as if he hadn't heard Yu Wanwan's words. Yu Wanwan waited for a long time, until she was about to ask a second time, before the mermaid captain finally uttered two words: "Yu Ling".

"ah?"

“I’ll say it.” He turned to look at Yu Wanwan: “My name is Yu Ling.”

"Oh, oh." Yu Wanwan felt embarrassed by his deep expression and responded with a couple of words, and then the two fell into silence again.

Yu Ling continued to look at the sea, her heart pounding.

The female swapped names with me, what should I do now...?

Yu Wanwan hugged her knees and stared at the ground, her palms sweating nervously.

Waaah, communication is so hard! I wish I had that social genius syndrome.

Perhaps the atmosphere here was too tense, because even the orc sitting in the sea noticed something was wrong. He looked at him strangely and asked, "Captain, what's wrong?"

Yu Ling shook his head: "It's nothing."

The merman gave an "oh," scratched his head, and went back to soaking in the water.

Yu Ling perhaps realized at this moment that the atmosphere was too awkward, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly asked, "What kind of beastman are you?"

Yu Wanwan paused for a moment, then chuckled dryly, "I...I'm from the rabbit clan."

"The rabbit race?" Yu Ling asked in confusion. "I don't smell any rabbit scent on you."

Yu Wanwan thought to herself, "I'm trying to avoid you, how could I possibly tell you what race I am? Do you expect me to come looking for you?"

Avoiding his gaze, Yu Wanwan began to make up a story: "My scent is masked by my partner's scent, and there are so many kinds of rabbits, you probably haven't seen my species before, so you can't smell it."

Yu Wanwan's scent was somewhat mixed. Besides a pleasant smell, Yu Ling could only detect the scent of a tiger beast, and there were other scents that he couldn't identify as belonging to any particular race.

After thinking it through, Yu Ling nodded.

The topic of taste was finally overshadowed, and Yu Wanwan carefully let out a breath.

Yu Ling seemed to only ask this one question, and after the two finished speaking, they fell silent again.

Yu Wanwan scratched her face and made conversation, saying, "Well, actually, I came to the beach when I was little. I thought it was so much fun and the scenery was beautiful."

Yu Ling looked at Yu Wanwan strangely again: "Hot-blooded beastmen don't come to the beach, so why did your beast father bring you here?"

Oh no, I forgot about that.

Yu Wanwan bit her tongue, her eyes darting around: "I... I only came here once. Oh, right, I also know a mermaid named Liu Ge."

Upon hearing this name, Yu Ling disregarded why Yu Wanwan's family had sent her to such a dangerous seaside location and exclaimed in surprise, "You know our Prince?"

“Yes, yes.” Yu Wanwan leaned closer to him and said very understandingly, “The person you’re looking for isn’t actually me. Taking me back won’t do you any good. If you really have no other way to explain yourself, I can talk to Liu Ge and ask him to help you.”

Yu Ling shook his head: "It's no use. This is the elder's order. Even if His Highness the Prince speaks up, it won't work."

Yu Wanwan was stunned: The prince's words have no effect. Is the status of a member of the merman royal family really that low?

Yu Ling added, "Besides, you're so beautiful, you're definitely the female I'm looking for. You must come back with me."

"How could that be? The females you're looking for are much prettier than me."

“No way.” Yu Ling said with absolute certainty, “You are the most beautiful female I have ever seen, and the person I am looking for is definitely you.”

Yu Wanwan gave an awkward laugh; even being complimented on her beauty didn't make her happy.

On Earth, her appearance would be at most that of a pure and cute girl next door, but on the beastman continent where most females are not good-looking, she is an absolute standout.

But after hearing Fei Han's description that day, she always felt that the merfolk were looking for a female of the fairy-like level, not her at all.

Yu Wanwan, who hadn't yet figured out the key to it, was very confused.

"What if you eventually find out it wasn't me?"

Will she be able to return to land intact?

Yu Ling became serious and looked at Yu Wanwan with a earnest expression: "I will try my best to protect you."

Yu Wanwan sighed.

Even if you try your best to protect it, you may not be able to.

If I were to encounter that elder and find that I had come up empty-handed, I might kill her on the spot in a fit of rage.
