Chapter 266 266 Mermaid Children (1)

"Who are you and why are you here?" It was the first time that Xia Tian saw an orc with such appearance. She was a little surprised and asked subconsciously.

Even someone like her who was unfamiliar with the world of beasts could see that this child's bloodline was definitely not a common race on the continent, and most importantly... he was a half-orc.

How could a child with strange bloodline appear in Si Ye's territory for no reason?

Unexpectedly, the child came to his senses and did not answer the girl's question. Instead, he timidly asked her, "Are you Sister Xia Xia?"

Xia Tian didn't know why the other person asked that, but she could sense that he had no ill intentions, so she half-knelt down, touched his head, and patiently explained to him, "My name is Xia Tian, ​​and everyone around me calls me Xia Xia. Of course, you can also call me Sister Xia Xia."

The boy's light blue eyes suddenly lit up with surprise, "You really are Sister Xia Xia, you are so beautiful!"

Is this the future partner of Brother Si Ye, as rumored in the tribe?

It’s so beautiful!

Moreover, she is so gentle and kind...

But looking at her expression just now, she must have been scared by her own appearance, right?

Damn it, Grandpa Tao said that they can’t appear in front of Sister Xia Xia now. They have to wait until that thing is ready. It would be bad if they scare her away.

But Sister Xia Xia was amazing, she actually found him so quickly...

What should I do now?

"Huh?" Xia Tian was a little confused. "Thank you..."

What's wrong with this kid? She didn't say who she is or what she does, but she just came up and praised her for being pretty. What kind of operation is this???

"This is my gift to you." As he said that, the little boy took out a round little bead from somewhere and handed it to her.

This was a specialty of their mermaid clan, and it was the best gift he could make. He hoped she would like it and not take her anger out on others...

Xia Tian subconsciously raised her hand to take it. The touch was round and smooth, very heavy. This texture was also very familiar. It was...

“Eh—”

Before she could say thank you, or even see clearly what was in his hand, the little boy who gave her the gift turned around and ran away quickly while she was not paying attention, and refused to respond no matter how she called him.

And probably because it was very familiar with the area, it ran away in a flash, making many turns and disappearing quickly. She couldn't catch up with it even if she tried to chase it.

"Thank you!" Xia Tian could only shout to express her gratitude from behind, not knowing whether the other party heard it.

She stood up holding the small beads, raised her hand, and looked at the small beads in her hand carefully in the sunlight.

Ah, it's a white pearl.

Moreover, this pearl is about two centimeters in diameter, round and smooth, with almost no flaws on the surface. It is a top-quality pearl and very precious.

If such a pearl were placed on Earth, it could be exchanged for a house in a small village like theirs.

Who would have thought that in a place like this, a little boy who looked like he couldn't even get enough to eat could come up with such a treasure?

[This is... a pearl, right? It's a little mermaid baby!]

[Wow, mermaid pearls are incredibly valuable. They're usually given as engagement gifts, but they were given to Xia Xia!]

[Hahahaha, this kid has good taste! But it's still a bit difficult to find a rival for Lao Si.]

[What the hell is this a huge windfall? I'm so jealous! I wish someone would give me pearls when I go out.]
