Chapter 369: To Bring or Not to Bring

The chief's tone was extremely heavy. After all, no one wanted to be separated from their cubs. But now, the sea was very dangerous. Maybe one day something like this would happen again. Without this group of land orcs, they would have to try their best to have a chance of survival. So, they could take advantage of this opportunity to send Xiyuan out of the seabed. Anyway, who couldn't see Xiyuan's thoughts?

Xia Yuke was slightly surprised. She thought those words were what Xiyuan said, but she didn't expect that the clan leader also agreed.

Xia Yuke looked at Lang Ce, Qian Jingyao and the others, with hesitation in her eyes. If she agreed, Yue Jianyanbei and the others could be taken away. If she didn't agree, then those tribesmen would be hopeless.

But the strange thing is that Lang Ce, who usually shouts, now lowered his head and reacted like other partners, as if all the decisions were in her hands.

Xia Yueke suddenly felt under a surge of pressure and didn't know what to do.

After hesitating for a while, Xiyuan spoke again, "Sister Xia, please take me to the mainland to have a look. Just consider it as money for taking me on a trip. It just so happens that I haven't been to the inland yet. I heard that the food in your inland is also very delicious."

Xiyuan looked expectant, as if he really just wanted to take a look.

Xia Yueke breathed a sigh of relief. Her feelings towards Xiyuan now could only be considered gratitude for him saving her, but she had not yet reached the point where she wanted to live with him for the rest of her life. Although it was nothing for her to have another partner, that was Xiyuan's life, and she hoped Xiyuan could think it over carefully.

It's also giving yourself time to figure out how you really feel about her.

"In that case, fine, then I'll take Xiyuan with me."

As soon as Xia Yueke finished speaking, Qian Jingyao, Qi Anluo Cihe and the others also raised their heads. Their expressions were calm and it seemed that nothing had happened.

Xia Yueke didn't know whether they should blame her or not, and her heart was in turmoil.

Until Xia Yueke returned to her room with them.

Qian Jingyao changed his expressionless face and hugged Xia Yueke, burying his face in her neck. His voice was hoarse: "From a selfish point of view, I don't want you to take that little mermaid with you, but from the overall perspective, I can't stop you. So many people in the tribe still need us... I'm sorry."

Lang Ce also remained silent, but held Xia Yueke's hand tightly, "Actually, we have another way. Why don't we rob a mermaid? Then you don't have to suffer so much."

Xia Yue was at a loss for words. "Alright, don't be so depressed. And Lang Ce, this method of yours is too much. We are not bad orcs. What if that thing can only be used with the consent of the mermaid? If we act rashly like this, we will offend people and the loss will outweigh the gain."

"Besides, you're overthinking it. I think Xiyuan is a nice person. Besides, it's not like I'm at a disadvantage. I got a partner for free!"

Qi An walked up to her and rubbed her head. "Whatever you think is best. That little mermaid is deeply in love with you. Just treat him as your slave."

Xia Yueke only now realized that Qi'an was a very vicious person. It seemed that Qingyan would not be the only beast to be bullied in the future.

Xia Yueke could only secretly sympathize with the little mermaid in her heart. Would this little creature with such a small body be knocked out by one punch from others?

Xia Yuke shook her head and thought, forget it, this can’t be done. This little mermaid is so fragile. What if Luo Cihe can defeat her in just a few moves?

"You guys should just hold back a bit. Xiyuan's health is so poor, he probably can't even cook. If you make him work too hard, what if he faints? Forget it, if you don't like him, just treat him as a decoration!"

Luo Cihe curled his lips, "He hasn't even arrived yet, and you're already protecting him. When you see him so frail, gasping for breath after every step, you're going to be heartbroken!"

Xia Yue was so amused by Luo Cihe's words that she couldn't help but punch him lightly. "Why are you so jealous? I just think Xiyuan is the prince of the mermaid tribe after all. He's been spoiled since childhood and might not be used to life on land. Besides, we brought him back to solve the fresh water problem, not to make him a coolie."

Qian Jingyao raised her head, a hint of helplessness and doting in her eyes: "Keke, we all know you are thinking about the overall situation. However, if that little mermaid dares to have any improper thoughts about you, we will not be polite."

Lang Ce also snorted coldly and clenched his fists: "That's right, if he dares to get close to you, I will let him know what "the enthusiasm of land orcs" means."

Xia Yueke looked at them, looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and couldn't help but laugh out loud:

"You guys, that's enough! Xiyuan is still a child, how can it be as complicated as you think? Besides, I have so many partners like you, how can he have a chance?"

Qi An raised his eyebrows, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "That's not necessarily true. After all, our Coco's charm is unstoppable."

Xia Yueke blushed at what they said and quickly waved her hands:

"Alright, alright, stop messing around! Let's figure out how to bring the Moon-Seeing Salt Shell back. Didn't the clan leader say that the Moon-Seeing Salt Shell needs special preservation methods? We need to ask Xi Yuan to see if he knows."

As he was speaking, there was a soft knock on the door.

Xia Yueke walked over and opened the door, and found Xiyuan standing at the door, holding an exquisite shell box in his hand and a shy smile on his face.

"Sister Xia, this is the Tsukimi Salt Shell that my father asked me to give you. He said this box can preserve the Tsukimi Salt Shell's energy. Once you take it back, just place it near a water source and it will automatically purify the water."

Xiyuan said as he handed the box to Xia Yueke.

Xia Yueke took the box and felt a slight coolness coming from it, and she felt delighted.

"Great! With this, our people can be saved! Xiyuan, thank you!"

Xiyuan shook his head, still with a shy smile on his face:

"Don't thank me. This is what I should do. Besides... I'm also looking forward to going to the land with you guys."

Xia Yueke smiled and asked curiously, "By the way, what do you mean by saying that Yuejianyanbei is a part of your body?"

Xi Yuan smiled shyly, "No matter where it is, I can sense the condition of this Moon-Seeing Salt Clam, such as how much water is left in it, how fast it purifies the water, whether it has been purified well, and how it feels."

"Feeling?"

"Yes, it also has moods. It can sense the mood of us as its masters. If the master is always in a bad mood or injured, then its effect will be greatly reduced. If the master dies, then the Tsukimi Salt Shell will also close itself off and gradually die..."

Xia Yueke exclaimed, "So magical!"
