Lan Ji's smile was hypocritical. "Although you orcs are disrespectful to me, the mermaids are kind and benevolent. We will still help you and exchange prey with you, but you must provide a corresponding amount of prey."

Lan Ji made a gesture to the mermaid beside her, and the mermaid stepped forward to explain the terms of the exchange.

After hearing what the mermaid said, the orcs couldn't believe their ears. They actually wanted a whole prey for a small shell of fresh water? In the past, a single prey could be exchanged for a lot of salt crystals. The mermaids were simply robbers!

"Aren't you just robbing? How dare you replace the Mermaid King? You're dreaming." An orc couldn't help cursing.

But he was killed by the mermaid hidden in the water the next second. The bloody hole on his neck kept bleeding, dyeing the surrounding sea water red. The orcs looked at the tragic death of their tribesmen and dared not say a word. They quietly retreated from the water, for fear that another mermaid would suddenly jump out of the water and attack them.

"Or you can exchange some beautiful things with me. If I'm in a good mood, maybe I can give you more, hahaha!" Lan Ji's ferocious smile matched her hypocritical face very well.

In this way, under the oppression of the mermaids for a hundred years, the once Sunshine Season has become a season that the orcs fear. In this season, food and water are in short supply, the weather is hot, and most of the prey they hunt must be exchanged with the mermaids for fresh water and salt crystals.

The lifespan of orcs is far shorter than that of merpeople. Gradually, the orcs who knew about the feud between merpeople and mermaids died, and everyone tacitly accepted the sky-high price of bargaining chips to be exchanged with the merpeople. The kindness and generosity of the merpeople were gradually recognized by the new orcs, who believed that it was their luck that the merpeople were willing to exchange with them. If the merpeople had not helped them, they would definitely not have survived the Sunfire.

The newborn mermaids born in the sea are also taught by the old mermaids to be kind and compassionate as orcs, and to help other orcs, but they must remember that there is a terrible and brutal creature in the ocean. They have twisted and terrifying tails that are four meters long, slender and powerful, and have sharp scales. They like to parasitize in the dark, like sea worms hidden deep underground, unable to see the light. This race is called the mermaids. Because they are jealous of the beautiful appearance and peaceful homes of mermaids, they will kill mermaids as soon as they see them, and will attack the mermaids' homes from time to time, trying to take them for themselves. Therefore, mermaids have been taught since childhood not to go out after dark, unless it is a hot night.

As if to prove the old mermaid's words, the mermaids always sneak into the mermaid kingdom by relying on their racial advantage, and then torture and kill the mermaids while the mermaids are sleeping, and snatch the glowing mermaid pearls on the seabed. Fortunately, their mermaid queen is powerful and can kill all the mermaids.

The feud between the mermaids and mermen became more and more serious.

Lan Jiao snapped her fingers, and six hundred years of the mermaid tribe passed in a hurry. The mermaid kingdom became more and more prosperous, and Lan Xi had long since become an adult orc. Everyone looked at her and found that she was indeed the queen.

Lance's last bit of hope was shattered. The cub who killed the king who loved him for his own selfish interests was really his mother.

Lan Xi at this moment was not as gentle and sacred as he is now, but instead had a look of impatience on his face.

Lan Xi sat on the stone, slapping her hands hard on it. The male next to her raised her hand distressedly: "What's wrong, female master?"

Lan Xi gritted his teeth, "Six hundred years! How come my Queen Mother shows no signs of aging at all! When will I ever be able to become Queen?"

What she didn't know was that when Lan Ji and the mermaid became a couple, they would share the same lifespan, and no one knew how long the king's lifespan would be.

The male was a little shocked. Lan Xi actually wanted to be the queen. Was she afraid that he would change his mind? "Female, even if you are not the queen, I will follow you for the rest of my life."

Lan Xi looked at the mermaid in front of him with a puzzled expression: "What does it have to do with you? Get lost!"

Males have a short-sighted vision and are easily satisfied with a little bit of benefit. Females, however, will definitely seize the opportunity to climb up as long as there is one.

But as long as the queen mother doesn't die, she has no chance at all. It's so hateful. But if the queen mother dies, there will be no mermaids who can resist those mermen. This will simply strangle her throne in the cradle.

"Princess, the Queen wants to see you."

A mermaid announced at the door.

"knew."

Strange, why did the Queen Mother want to see her at this time? She quickly packed up, put on her pearl headdress and necklace, and swam towards the bottom of the cave.

Every time she came here, she felt a chill, because this cave was where the Mermaid King was beaten into a pulp, scattered all over the ground, and later fed to fish by the Queen Mother. She did not expect that the Queen Mother could live here as if nothing had happened. After all, the Mermaid King was once her male.

"Queen Mother."

Six hundred years hadn't aged Lan Ji at all. She actually looked younger than Lan Xi: "Xixi, look!"

Lan Xi looked up at the throne and saw a gorgeous orc. There was astonishment in her eyes. This was the first time she had seen an orc who was more beautiful than a male mermaid. However, when her eyes fell on his lower body, Lan Xi instantly revealed her sharp teeth and nails.

The beautiful orc in front of me actually has an almost transparent tail, but his tail is long and thin. It is obvious that he is not a mermaid, but a merman.

He wrapped his tail around Lan Ji, so when she came in just now, she didn't notice that the orc was actually a mermaid.

Seeing Lan Xi's vigilance against the mermaids, it was hard not to find it funny. She had deceived those young mermaids, so why was Lan Xi so cautious towards mermaids? She knew the truth.

"Don't be nervous, she's not a mermaid."

Lan Xi looked at the transparent orc in front of her with suspicion. The tail looked like a mermaid's, but she still retracted her claws. The queen was very strong and would not let the mermaid hurt her.

"Mother Queen, what about his tail?" Lan Xi asked in confusion.

Lan Ji placed her hand on the orc's abdomen, and a light lit up in the orc's stomach. The light moved upwards along with Lan Ji's palm, and then was spit out from his mouth.

Then the mermaid's tail slowly degenerated into two slender, naked white legs.

Seeing this change, Lan Jiao seemed to understand something. He turned his head and glanced at Tu Ling's tail: "Did you eat the mermaid pearl?"

Tu Ling only then remembered that she had indeed eaten a mermaid pearl. Thinking about where the mermaid pearl came from, she felt bad instantly: "Yeah, I ate it."

If she knew that the mermaid pearls were cut out from the mermaid's stomach... she would definitely hesitate for a while before eating them. There was no other way. If there weren't crystals on the seabed, she would never eat them.

No wonder Lan Jiao felt a little lonely. He thought he still had some tribesmen. He should have thought of it earlier. If Tu Ling was really a mermaid, he probably would never see her again.
