The medicine would take a while to take effect, so Lan Yin sat down next to Yu Wanwan with her knees drawn up, observing her.

In this era, the female members of the Bloodthirsty Beast Clan eat with all their might, considering plumpness and strength as beauty, believing that only in this way can they give birth to healthy offspring.

However, the aesthetics of the merfolk are quite different from those of the hot-blooded beastmen. They prefer slender and graceful bodies because it allows them to swim faster and more beautifully.

Lan Yin had seen many female members of the passionate beast race before, but this was the first time she had seen one as thin as Yu Wanwan.

Despite how precious females are, she looked malnourished and filthy.

Lan Yin sighed helplessly.

It's definitely better to live in the sea; you can keep your body clean anytime, anywhere. He really doesn't understand why the elders insist on occupying the land of the Blood Beast Clan.

After a long while, Yu Wanwan slowly woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the seawater above her head, but her body was not in contact with the water. For a moment, she thought she had been crushed to death and returned to the Beast God's Mirror Lake.

Suddenly a familiar face appeared in her field of vision, and Yu Wanwan blurted out, "Liu Ge."

“Liu Ge?” Lan Yin asked in confusion, “Who is he? Is he someone you know? He sounds like someone from our mermaid clan.”

Yes, this person is not Liu Ge. She is still a thousand years ago, still at the bottom of the sea!

Yu Wanwan regained consciousness and sat up, supporting herself with her hands.

It was then that she realized there was no water around her because it was all blocked out by a giant bubble.

She looked at Lanyin, and Lanyin looked at her too.

Yu Wanwan was a little embarrassed: "Um, did you bring me here?"

He probably didn't realize he wanted to knock him unconscious with a rock.

Lan Yin nodded: "You've been poisoned, so I brought you here for treatment."

Yu Wanwan looked at her hand, and sure enough, it was wrapped with a circle of seaweed.

"Thank you."

It seems they didn't realize she was going to hit someone.

Yu Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.

Lan Yin stood up: "Since you're alright, then I'll..."

Yu Wanwan almost had a premonition of what he was going to say, so she quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him back to sit down: "No, no, no, I don't even know your name yet, why don't we chat?"

She couldn't let him leave so easily no matter what!

The little female's hands were soft and tender, a sensation quite different from her appearance.

Lan Yin was a little taken aback and after a while, she replied, "I... my name is Lan Yin."

Yu Wanwan was determined to get closer to him, so she quickly complimented him, "Your name is quite nice."

"By the way, my name is Yu Wanwan."

"Fish? You're a fish too?" Lan Yin exclaimed in surprise, her mouth agape.

Isn't she a beastman? How come she's a fish? He's never seen a fish like this before.

Yu Wanwan waved her hands repeatedly: "No, it's because my surname is Yu."

Lan Yin: "What is your surname?"

"This... I don't know how to explain it to you either," Yu Wanwan said. "Just call me Wanwan."

"Okay, Wanwan." His voice was already pleasant, and when he called Yu Wanwan's name, it sounded almost tender.

Yu Wanwan was momentarily stunned.

However, in the short time she was stunned, Lan Yin stood up again: "In that case, I'll go and have someone send you back."

Yu Wanwan: "..."

No matter how we go around in circles, we've still ended up back at this issue!

Seeing that he was about to jump into the water, Yu Wanwan panicked and grabbed his leg, saying, "Wait! Don't go and call for help! I don't want to leave!"

Mermaids' legs are transformed from their fish tails. The fish tail is the most sensitive part of a mermaid. The moment her legs were grabbed, Lan Yin's face turned red instantly, her body went limp, and she fell directly to the ground.

He was stunned: "You...how could you hug me!"

Yu Wanwan was also stunned: "I didn't hug you, I just grabbed your leg."

Lan Yin blushed and struggled to free her leg from Yu Wanwan's grasp.

Throughout his life, he had maintained a clean and chaste lifestyle, and had never been touched on the leg by anyone! He had even said that only his future partner could touch it! Yet now it had been touched by a female he had just met.

Lan Yin blushed more and more as he thought about it. He looked at Yu Wanwan, who still looked innocent and bewildered.

They touched me and pretended they didn't know anything. I'm so angry!

Lan Yin snorted, hugged her legs, turned away, and ignored her.

Yu Wanwan scratched her face, completely clueless as to what was wrong with him.

She asked tentatively, "Lanyin, what's wrong?"

Lan Yin ignored her and turned her body a little further away.

Yu Wanwan blinked, looking somewhat lost.

So is he angry? But she didn't do anything!

Are merfolk really that conservative? They get angry just because someone touches their hand or foot? That shouldn't be the case. Aren't beastmen usually quite open-minded?

Lan Yin sulked for a while, but finally couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up and said, "I'm leaving."

"Huh? Where are you going?"

"I'm going home."

Lan Yin walked towards the edge of the platform. Yu Wanwan, enduring the pain, stood up and blocked his way: "Wait, don't go yet."

Lan Yin's handsome brows furrowed together. He turned his body slightly away, his gaze fixed on something else, but he refused to look at Yu Wanwan: "Why can't I leave?"

What if he leaves and then suddenly brings a mermaid to send her away?

Yu Wanwan took a few steps closer, knowing his taboo, and was careful not to have any contact with him: "I wanted to apologize to you, I didn't mean to touch you."

Anyway, since she was the one asking for a favor, she should apologize first.

Lan Yin didn't answer, but snorted again.

Seeing that he didn't turn around and leave, Yu Wanwan immediately felt that there was still room for maneuver. She moved closer to Lan Yin, put her hands together, and said, "I'm really sorry, I really didn't mean to. Please don't be angry."

Her expression was earnest, filled with deep apology; she seemed genuinely sincere.

Lan Yin snorted again, but this time she didn't ignore her. Instead, she asked, "Then tell me, why don't you want to leave?"

Wouldn't it be better to go back to your own home? And go back completely unharmed, so why would any female refuse?

Yu Wanwan pursed her lips, then said, "Because I like the seabed, I don't want to leave."

"You like the seabed?"

“Yes.” Yu Wanwan met his clear eyes, her gaze instinctively shifting away.

Thinking of the task given to her by the Beast God, she said, "The seabed is so wonderful, the scenery is beautiful, and the little fish are so cute. I like it here and I really want to stay."

Lan Yin frowned: "If you, a hot-blooded beastman, are discovered living underwater, you won't have a good ending."

"I know, so I want to ask you, could you please not tell anyone I'm here? I'll stay here obediently and won't wander off."
