Once you decide, it will never change.

Fu Ying slowly raised his eyes, his narrow and long fox eyes were as calm as a deep pool.

Her pale lips curled up in a very faint arc, and she nodded calmly: "Yes, I have a beast husband who is a fallen orc, but it is not his fault that he became a fallen orc. I will not let him endure this."

Jingxiang nodded heavily, with a complex and emotional light flashing in her eyes.

She hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised her hand and pressed it hard on Fu Ying's shoulder. Her fingertips were trembling, but her voice was serious: "I support you! From today on, you are my friend!"

Females are born weak and, except for a few priestesses favored by the beast god, have almost no ability to protect themselves.

The teachings passed down from generation to generation in the tribe are engraved in their bones and blood. The females' mission is to reproduce the tribe, and the beastly husbands' destiny is to protect them with their flesh and blood. But Huahua in front of him tore the iron apart.

She single-handedly fought against more than a dozen tribes and protected the fallen orc husband. It was truly amazing.

Fu Ying's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she tilted her head to stare at Jing Xiang: "Friend?"

"Yes!" Jingxiang nodded heavily and straightened his back suddenly.

Her ears turned into fins due to excitement, slightly expanding and shining in the sunlight.

Jingxiang pulled Fuying and said, "We, the orcs of the Dayu tribe, keep our words. Once we make up our minds, it's a lifelong commitment!" Her eyes sparkled as she said excitedly, "Huahua, how about this? Take your orc husband and find an island to live on? Even land-based orcs can't go there! I can take you there!"

Fu Ying looked into Jingxiang's sparkling eyes, pursed her pale lips, and clenched her cold fingers slightly. Her voice was as soft as the sea breeze: "Thank you, Jingxiang, I..."

Before she could finish her words, Xingyao's voice suddenly rang out: "Xiangxiang! We should go back!"

When Jingxiang heard this, a look of reluctance appeared on her face, and she grabbed Fuying's hand and didn't want to let go.

This was the friend she had just acknowledged. The deep sea and the land were far apart, and this time they were separated, it would be the tide and the full moon, and then it would be the cold season, and they would not be able to see each other again for a very long time.

Thinking of this, the whale's ear fin drooped sadly.

Seeing that Jingxiang was in a bad mood, Xingyao's eyes flashed with worry.

He strode forward and pulled Jingxiang back to his side with a firm yet gentle manner.

Xingyao didn't even glance at Fuying, standing between her and Jingxiang. His stern brows lowered, but his words were gentle and soft: "Beishan is no longer safe. Moreover, the rainy season has just ended on land, and the smell of blood is too strong. It has attracted too many wild animals out looking for food. We have to leave as soon as possible."

As he spoke, the dark green scales on his neck were faintly visible, as if coated with a layer of light.

This is the instinctive reaction of deep-sea predators when they sense danger.

Fu Ying raised her eyes, looked over Xingyao's shoulder at Jingxiang, her fingertips weakly stroking her bloodstained chest, her charming voice very soft at this moment: "Can I... go with you?"

Originally we came to rescue the duck, but plans cannot keep up with changes.

Since fate has opened up a new path, let's go with the flow and switch to another quest line.

Danyue was very far away from her, and the pattern could hardly lock onto any of his aura.

Jingxiang's words gave her an inspiration. Perhaps, Danyue went to the island under the protection of his tribe. If that was the case, she would not be able to find any trace of him on the beach on a tidal and full moon night.

There is a mermaid orc here right now. Perhaps this is the key to finding Tanyue.

Hearing this, Jingxiang's eyes lit up. Just as she was about to speak, Xingyao frowned and said coldly, "We are going back to the deep sea. You are a fox tribe, a land orc. How can you come with us?"

"Instead of wasting time here, why not go find your snow leopard husband?"

As he spoke, his pupils shrank into a thin line, showing a bit of ferocity.

Jingxiang widened her eyes slightly and looked at Xingyao with some confusion.

In her impression, Xingyao has always been a gentle person, polite and courteous to everyone, but his tone at this moment was rare in its coldness and even a hint of rejection.

He doesn't seem to like Huahua, why?

Xingyao noticed Jingxiang's gaze and tightened his knuckles slightly.

Yes, he really didn't like the female in front of him, this... vicious female who was a habitual liar.

During the tribal trade meeting, he saw with his own eyes the indenture on the neck of the nine-star extreme orc. It was a lifelike red fox. He had seen the same one on the back of Danyue's neck.

And she also mentioned Ru, that is... Tanyue's sister.

All these "coincidences" are intertwined together and ultimately point to a hateful result.

The female in front of me is not a playboy.

She is Fu Ying, Fu Ying of the Oasis Tribe, the most beautiful woman in Beishan who is famous for her cruelty and cunning. She used bewitching means to deceive the young chief of their mermaid tribe!

The mermaids rarely intermarry with other tribes. The tribe members maintain their bonds through singing and live in harmony. There is no leader in the tribe, only the respected patriarch who governs the entire tribe.

But unfortunately——

The extremely talented young leader of the mermaid tribe was bewitched and deceived by Fu Ying, a female on land. On the night of the contract, the mermaid's tail scales were peeled off alive. The cries of the tribe members still seem to echo in his ears, as mournful as tears.

Xingyao's eyes darkened, his Adam's apple rolled, and he suppressed the murderous intent surging in his chest.

Save her?

It’s just that due to the contract with the Beast God, Fu Ying’s life is connected with Dan Yue. If Fu Ying dies, Dan Yue will not survive either. Otherwise, he will let this evil woman taste the pain of being skinned and heart gouged out!

Jingxiang blinked her watery eyes. Although she didn't understand, she still gently pulled Xingyao's arm.

"Xingyao, I just became friends with Huahua, and now she's injured. How can I find someone?"

"What if I run into that crazy Nine-Star Orc again..."

At this point, Jingxiang shuddered and unconsciously leaned towards Xingyao. She whispered, "Why don't we go together first? It'll take some time for us to get back anyway."

Jingxiang's voice was soft, with a hint of stubbornness, and her clear eyes were filled with worry.

The aura around Xingyao became increasingly cold and chilly.

"Xingyao..." Jingxiang pursed her lips: "Huahua needs help now..."

Fu Ying raised his eyes and looked at Jingxiang, a young female of the sea clan, innocent and romantic, like the purest gift from the deep sea, just like Danyue in the past, who still had kindness in her even when he hated her the most.

"Xiangxiang, let's go and catch the evening tide."

His voice was hoarse, his breathing was deep and heavy, and he looked extremely depressed.

In the end, he still refused.

Jingxiang had never seen such stars before and was a little scared.

She turned to look at Fu Ying, her bright eyes filled with guilt. She frantically took out a pink conch from her silk bag. Her voice trembled, but she forced a smile: "Huahua..."

"We have to go. Here, this is for you!" Jingxiang stuffed the pink conch into Fuying's palm.

"If you ever miss me, go to the beach and blow this conch. I...I will definitely hear you. No matter how far away you are, I will come to find you!"

When she said the last few words, Jingxiang suddenly choked up, but raised her face stubbornly and looked at her.

Fu Ying lowered his eyes and stared at the pink conch in his hand, his fingertips gently stroking the spiral patterns on it.

She raised her eyes and gazed into Jingxiang's reddened ones. As they faced each other quietly, she whispered, "Jingxiang, my name isn't Huahua. I'm Fuying, the Fuying of the Oasis Tribe, the evil woman of Beishan."

Jingxiang's originally sad expression froze on her face, her eyes suddenly widened, and the blood color faded from her little face at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even her lips turned pale, and her fingers unconsciously grasped Xingyao's hand.

Xingyao's body froze, his back tensed. When he turned to look at Fu Ying, his eyes were like sharp swords, his brows were furrowed, and there was vigilance and surprise, as well as a hint of imperceptible confusion in his eyes.

Why did she suddenly tell the truth?
