Lan Yin held her hand in her palm and said, "I promised Qingxun that I would protect her, but I failed to do so. Now I want to save Liuge, which can be considered as making up for Qingxun."

Moreover, Liu Ge reminded Lan Yin of herself back then, constantly restricted by the elders.

Whether for Qingxun's sake or for her responsibility as the former Mermaid King, Lanyin could not stand idly by while the Mermaids were in trouble.

Yu Wanwan stared at him for a long while. Lan Yin's expression was gentle but firm, indicating that he had already made up his mind.

She knew she couldn't persuade him otherwise, and sighed softly, "I know, but you have to promise me you'll take good care of yourself."

Lan Yin smiled and said, "I will, I promise you."

He kissed Yu Wanwan, and after a brief but intense hug, he followed Zhiyang on his journey back to the Mermaid Clan.

They disappeared without a trace, and cold-blooded beastmen carrying dark energy continued to appear in the forest from time to time, causing harm to several weaker small tribes.

The tribe has received many people seeking help in the past few days.

Looking at them, Yu Wanwan couldn't help but think of the vegetative people who had been wiped out by the orcs they had taken in. She was worried that the White Tiger tribe would eventually become like the farmer in The Farmer and the Snake.

Seeing her expression, Bai Jing assumed she disliked the influx of so many unfamiliar orcs into the tribe. He patted her head and quickly comforted her, "Wanwan, I've already found a place near the tribe for them to go first. I won't let the orcs into the tribe casually; it's not a good thing for the White Tiger Tribe."

"I know."

Yu Wanwan hugged his waist and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She should have realized that Bai Jing was not Chief Qiu Chen; he would have considered things more carefully and would not have put the White Tiger Tribe in danger.

Bai Jing picked her up and let her sit on his arm, gently pinching her cheek: "I was worried you wouldn't agree."

After all, young females have such soft hearts, and there are quite a few females and cubs among these orcs, which easily evokes people's sympathy.

Yu Wanwan hummed softly.

She is soft-hearted, but she also knows that she cannot act blindly out of pity and do things she will regret. Even when saving people, she must act within her capabilities.

Yu Wanwan changed the subject: "Any news from the beach?"

Lan Yin and the others have been gone for a long time. If it weren't for the bond between partners and knowing that Lan Yin is safe, Yu Wanwan would have really been unable to resist going into the sea to find them.

Bai Jing carried her back slowly: "No, but they should be safe now."

Lan Yin is quite strong. Entering the seabed is like returning home; he can protect himself.
