"This...how...how..."
Mo Zhou snorted lightly, raised his chin, and said with disdain in his eyes, "I captured them. Let me show you that there's nothing to be afraid of among the merfolk."
You Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, his lips trembling, "You...you're really amazing."
"You don't need to tell me." Mo Zhou's snake tail also curled up along with his chin.
They were all happy, but Yu Wanwan wasn't happy at all.
Liu Ge is a kind and shy mermaid. She didn't hurt herself at all, nor did she have any bad intentions.
In her eyes, he was just like Mo Zhou, neither of them were threatening, cold-blooded beastmen.
He had just given her so many things, and when he helped her catch fish, he was brought back by Mo Zhou. He was a living human being. For both reason and emotion, Yu Wanwan couldn't let Mo Zhou kill him.
"Mo Zhou, shall we send him back to the sea?"
Mo Zhou asked in confusion, "Why send it back?"
Yu Wanwan wanted to say that Liu Ge wasn't a bad fish, but You Yi had already shouted, "He's a cold-blooded beastman, he should be killed."
"Why kill him?" Yu Wanwan turned to look at him. "He was just a child."
You Yi frowned and said matter-of-factly, "The cold-blooded beastmen all deserve to die. They killed many of our compatriots."
"But he's just a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, with no offensive power or threat whatsoever. The things that the other merfolk did shouldn't be retaliated against him."
No matter what he said, You Yi stuck to his opinion: "The merfolk deserve to die."
Yu Wanwan bit her lip.
She felt like she was now part of a human trafficking ring, having abducted a cute and well-behaved young boy, and was even heartlessly planning to kill him and dispose of his body.
Parents who have lost their children must be so anxious. Perhaps Liu Ge's family is searching for him everywhere right now.
Yu Wanwan looked up at Mo Zhou.
With just one glance, Mo Zhou understood what Yu Wanwan meant.
Although he didn't know why Yu Wanwan wanted to let the mermaid go, since it was his little female's wish, Mo Zhou naturally followed her lead.
Extending his snake tail, Mo Zhou was about to throw the mermaid into the sea when, before he could even touch her, the mermaid's eyelashes suddenly trembled, and then she slowly opened her eyes.
"Where is this? Wanwan? Who are you?!" The mermaid's gaze gradually focused, and she not only saw Yu Wanwan clearly, but also the group of strangers surrounding her.
He was startled, and sat up abruptly from his deathbed, shrinking back with his fish tail and trembling as he hid behind Yu Wanwan.
Mo Zhou's eyes turned cold, his murderous gaze fixed on the mermaid's arm that was gripping Yu Wanwan.
This dead mermaid!
His fist made a cracking sound.
Yu Wanwan knew that she had done something wrong today and had even frightened the child, so she quickly comforted her gently: "Liu Ge, they are all my friends. Your presence here is a misunderstanding."
Liu Ge looked at Yu Wanwan.
Yu Wanwan was organizing her thoughts, trying to figure out how to subtly gloss over the matter, when Liu Ge saw Mo Zhou and screamed again, burying her face behind Yu Wanwan and not daring to move.
"Wanwan, he knocked me out." At that time, he was humming a little tune in the sea, taking out a fishing net woven from seaweed to catch fish and shrimp for Wanwan, intending to give them to her. But he felt a chill down his back, and as soon as he turned around, a black and purple snake tail hit him on the forehead with a bang.
Although Liu Ge had fainted, he still clearly saw that it was this orc who had knocked him unconscious.
We're doomed.
Yu Wanwan wiped away the water droplets and sand that Liu Ge had splashed on her face with her tail because she was too excited.
Continue to try to reassure them: "No, no, it's all a misunderstanding."
Liu Ge was still trembling.
Yu Wanwan couldn't help but glare at Mo Zhou.
Look at the mess you've made, you don't even know how to cover your face.
Mo Zhou felt extremely wronged by being glared at for no reason. He didn't know what he had done wrong. His little female was being held by another male. It was infuriating!
Yu Wanwan gently patted Liu Ge's back to comfort him, while making up a lie to deceive the child: "This is my partner Mo Zhou. He is very gentle. He is... He knows we are friends and wanted to invite you ashore for a cup of tea, but he was too reckless and didn't know his own strength, so he knocked you unconscious."
She emphasized again, "These are all misunderstandings, don't worry, we won't hurt you."
"Really, Wanwan?" Liu Ge looked at her with bright, sparkling eyes. "You're not lying to me?"
Yu Wanwan, who was lying to the child: "...Yes."
As it turns out, Liu Ge was indeed naive and innocent, completely unaware of the ways of the world. She easily believed what Yu Wanwan said without any doubt.
He looked up at Mo Zhou and saw that this gentle partner, whom Yu Wanwan had described, was staring at his and Yu Wanwan's clasped hands with a cold and threatening gaze.
If it were a beastman from the White Tiger Tribe, they would have run away in fear if Mo Zhou had looked at them like that. But Liu Ge was different. He was also a cold-blooded beastman. Facing Mo Zhou, who was also a cold-blooded beastman, he was not afraid at all. In addition, with Yu Wanwan's assurance, he even had the illusion that this was one of his own and would never hurt him.
Liu Ge looked at Yu Wanwan, her eyes sparkling like stars in the sky: "Wanwan, you really are my good friend."
Not only does she not mind the cold-blooded orc's identity, she is also willing to become a couple with the cold-blooded orc.
If this snake-beast can do it, then can't I...?
Thinking of this, two blushes slowly rose on Liu Ge's face, and her gaze towards Yu Wanwan became even more gentle and trusting.
