Actually, if the little female really wanted to stay, he could help her.
Lan Yin remained silent, but she was already deep in thought.
This was the first time he had ever seen a female who wanted to stay on the seabed.
Perhaps it's worth a try. If the little female successfully lives on the seabed, he can use this to prove to the elders and his people that cold-blooded beastmen and warm-blooded beastmen can actually get along well and there's no need to go to war.
Yu Wanwan squeezed out her tears and tried her best to play the victim: "Please, I really don't want to go back. Actually, I've always been bullied on land. My beast father and mother have left, and no one takes care of me. Look how thin I am, it's because I'm not getting enough to eat every day. I just want to hide somewhere where no one can find me and stay there."
In order to stay, Yu Wanwan fabricated an outrageous story from her past.
She even deliberately showed Lan Yin her slender wrist.
"If you want to stay here, how will you manage to eat?"
“I…I can fish.”
Yu Wanwan blinked, her face sincere: "Please, I won't do anything, just let me stay."
Lan Yin looked at her, and after a long while, he said helplessly, "I'm not worried about what you might do, you're just a weak female."
Such a frail female could probably not even defeat the cubs of his own kind. In Lan Yin's eyes, Yu Wanwan was not a threat at all. What he was worried about was how a female could possibly live peacefully on the seabed.
Although it was unpleasant to be looked down upon, Yu Wanwan's eyes still brightened: "So you're saying you're willing to let me stay?"
"I..." Lan Yin wanted to say that he needed to think about it, but the little female's gaze was too strong, constantly following and staring at you, making it impossible to avoid.
"Aren't you afraid I'll report you?" Lan Yin deliberately tried to scare her, hoping to make Yu Wanwan back down.
To everyone's surprise, Yu Wanwan smiled, a hint of smugness in her eyes: "I know you definitely won't, I believe you."
If he wanted to report her, he would have handed her over to the guards just now, or he wouldn't even need to call the guards; Lan Yin could have dealt with her herself.
He avoided Yu Wanwan's gaze: "Fine, if you want to stay, then stay."
Lan Yin recalled the feeling of her legs being held by her, and the soft touch seemed to return.
Yu Wanwan sat down on the rock: "Actually, you are a lot like a friend of mine. You are both really good people."
Lan Yin sat down next to her: "Your friend is that Liu Ge?"
Yu Wanwan nodded.
Although the merfolk are currently on the opposite side of her, and the few merfolk she had met were indeed ferocious, making her think that all merfolk were so cold-blooded, Yu Wanwan realized after meeting Lan Yin that the badness of some people does not represent everyone. There are still kind-hearted people in a race, such as Liu Ge, who is a simple and kind merfolk, and Lan Yin is the same.
And so, Yu Wanwan finally managed to stay safely on the seabed.
Lan Yin couldn't bring herself to ignore her in the end. When she returned to the palace, all she could think about was Yu Wanwan.
He was very worried that the land-dwelling females would not adapt to the underwater environment, that she would be cold, hungry, or scared.
After thinking it over, he still felt uneasy, so soon after returning, he packed a lot of things to take to Yu Wanwan.
When he had almost finished packing, he remembered something and ran to the Witch Doctor's Hall.
The shaman was organizing his herbs when he saw Lan Yin enter. He immediately bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, what brings you here?"
Lan Yin swayed her fishtail, put her hands behind her back, and pretended not to care. She looked around at the herbs in the hall and sadly realized that she didn't recognize any of them.
"Your Majesty? What are you looking at?"
Lan Yin cleared her throat and said, "Witch doctor, please prepare some herbs to stop bleeding and heal wounds for me."
"Ah?" The witch doctor's mouth dropped open in surprise, and he anxiously examined Lan Yin's body from head to toe: "Your Majesty, are you injured? Where are you bleeding? Let me take a look!"
Lan Yin subconsciously turned to the side, avoiding his gaze, and casually made up an excuse: "I'm not injured, I just wanted to get some herbs in case of emergency."
"No need. If you get injured, just come back to me for more. Besides, seeing the wound will help me treat it better."
Lan Yin: "..."
He wanted to come up with another excuse, but found that he was really bad at lying, so he could only say dryly, "Just give me a little bit."
The shaman opened his mouth, but Lan Yin quickly raised her hand to stop him: "No need to ask so many questions."
Witch doctor: "...Alright then."
The shaman brought out herbs and explained their uses to him, categorizing them as follows: "This is for external application; it can stop bleeding. You need to change the dressing twice a day. This can heal wounds; just crush it and swallow it."
"Okay, okay, is there anything else? Like how long will it take to recover, are there any taboos or anything like that?"
"I can't say for sure. It depends on the individual's constitution. There's nothing to be afraid of."
"I see."
As soon as Lan Yin got the herbs, she left without stopping, leaving the witch doctor scratching his head in confusion.
"Today is really strange." It feels like Wang is helping someone else get medicine.
When Lan Yin arrived, she saw Yu Wanwan holding a long waterweed as a rope, with a small fish that she had caught somewhere tied to the other end of the rope.
Yu Wanwan was sitting on a rock, fishing with this rope.
Lan Yin jumped into the bubble, put down what she was holding, and said, "Aren't you afraid of popping the bubble if you play like that?"
Hearing the voice, Yu Wanwan turned around and found that it was Lan Yin.
She pulled the rope back, threw it on the ground, wiped her hands clean, and walked to Lanyin's side: "Lanyin, why are you back?"
Lan Yin took out the items from the bundle one by one, saying, "If I hadn't come back, you, a female, would have died in less than three days staying at the bottom of the sea."
Yu Wanwan pouted and said, "I'm already trying my best to fish to fill my stomach."
"You can't catch anything like that."
Lan Yin sighed helplessly and handed her a seashell containing sliced sashimi and seaweed sauce: "Eat something first."
Yu Wanwan was already very hungry; she hadn't eaten much since arriving at the bottom of the sea.
Moreover, the sea is indeed not suitable for her to live in; it is cold and dark. She had been in the sea for so long before that she almost drowned.
However, there was no other way to complete the task.
She took the seashell, picked up a piece of fish and put it in her mouth, her cheeks puffing out as she slurped, "It's so delicious, thank you Lanyin."
Although the little female was dirty, her eyes were really beautiful, bright and clear, just like a cub's.
Yu Wanwan sat to one side. She was really hungry and ate very quickly. The fish meat in a shell was gone in no time.
