Qingxun stood tall and proud, confident and assertive, and continued her reasoned analysis: "Besides, you've been in the ocean for so long and they've never looked for you, which means they don't care about you at all. What do we females look for mates for? Isn't it for happiness, for someone to take care of us, and for reproduction? Your mate can't do any of those things. If you don't end the mate relationship now, do you still want to stay and spend the winter?"
Qingxun's current demeanor is like that of a best friend who is trying to persuade her to stop losing herself in love. Hearing Bai Jing and the others being belittled like this, Yu Wanwan is both amused and exasperated: "It's not that they don't care about me, it's that they have no other choice right now."
At this very moment, she, Bai Jingmo, Zhou Feihan, and Qinglu are separated by a vast amount of time, existing in two different time periods. They are unaware that they have traveled to the past and are currently grappling with a difficult mission.
Thinking of her partners who were far away, Yu Wanwan lowered her eyes, feeling somewhat lost.
Seeing her appearance, and considering Yu Wanwan's explanation just now, Qingxun assumed she was distressed because her partner's abilities were too low, which was why she couldn't do anything. So, she gave her a long and earnest plea for advice.
Her face was youthful, but at that moment she resembled a relationship expert, exuding an air of worldly wisdom and experience.
If it weren't for the fact that her physical characteristics perfectly matched those of a child, Yu Wanwan would have even doubted whether she was a minor.
Yu Wanwan couldn't explain it to her in detail, so she just listened and let it go in one ear and out the other. When Qingxun had finished speaking, she handed her a glass of water and said, "Actually, you like the Mermaid King, but you're too young to do so, so you always let me have my turn."
Yu Wanwan finally understood. Qingxun's words today—praising the Mermaid King and asking her to break off her partnership—clearly meant she wanted to recommend the Mermaid King to her.
However, if Qingxun has a way to get the Mermaid King to meet her, could she also succeed in her mission?
Upon hearing this, Qingxun's hand trembled, and the cup instantly fell outside the bubbles, then drifted away with the seawater.
"I...I..." Qingxun stammered for a long time, not knowing what to say.
Everyone likes a strong male, but the Mermaid King is her uncle. He watched her grow up and is like a father to her. How could she like him?
"Wanwan, the Mermaid King is truly a wonderful person. You've definitely made a great deal by marrying him!" She grabbed Yu Wanwan's hand, her expression both helpless and earnest.
So after all that talk, did the little female not listen at all? Her uncle is such a good catch, doesn't she feel even a little bit tempted?
Qingxun looked into the distance and felt that the road to making Yu Wanwan her aunt was long and arduous.
Suddenly, Yu Wanwan shook her hand and said softly, "Okay, I'm willing to become partners with the Mermaid King."
Qingxun stared at her in surprise.
"You said you were willing?"
Yu Wanwan nodded, her eyes filled with an inscrutable emotion, her expression neither particularly happy nor sad: "But even if we're going to become partners, we should meet first, right?"
Qingxun hadn't expected Yu Wanwan to agree so suddenly, but she knew this was a golden opportunity, so she quickly said, "Okay, okay! I'll definitely let you two meet!"
"Do you have a solution?"
Qingxun was stunned for a moment, then quickly tried to cover it up: "I... I have someone in my family who knows the Mermaid King. If you want to see him, I can help you."
Yu Wanwan silently apologized to Qingxun, then lowered her head and continued, "But it's no use even if I'm willing. I'm a hot-blooded beastman, and the Mermaid King would probably just grab me if he saw me."
"How could that be? He would never do that!"
Yu Wanwan looked up at her, somewhat puzzled as to why she was so certain.
Qingxun knew that she was too excited and happy, so she spoke somewhat carelessly.
She coughed lightly and explained, "I mean, the king is very tolerant and gentle. He definitely won't arrest you because of your status. Besides, you're so beautiful, he'd be too busy liking you to even think about it. He'd definitely want to marry you without hesitation!"
Yu Wanwan gently tapped her forehead: "Qingxun, feelings can't be judged by appearance alone. If you like someone, you'll like them no matter what, but if you don't like someone, no matter how beautiful they are, it's useless."
"Okay, okay, I understand. I'll go and call the Mermaid King out to see you right now." Qingxun didn't take it seriously. All she could think about was finding her uncle and getting him ready to mate with the little female.
Yu Wanwan grabbed her hand, preventing her from leaving, and continued, "Qingxun, promise me one thing. If you have a way to get the Mermaid King to come out and see me, could you please find a secluded place so we can meet alone without letting anyone know?"
Qingxun asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"
Getting married is a great thing, why hide it?
Yu Wanwan said, "Because... because you can't be sure about matters of the heart. What if the Mermaid King doesn't like me? Wouldn't that be very awkward for me? Besides, I'm a little shy."
Yu Wanwan bit her lip, revealing a shy and timid expression.
Qingxun smiled happily, revealing her sweet dimples: "I know, don't worry, I promise you, I will definitely do it. I'll come pick you up at this time tomorrow, just wait for my good news!"
Qingxun leaped into the sea, its tail swaying, looking very happy.
Yu Wanwan closed her eyes, lowered her head guiltily, and looked apologetic.
She had taken advantage of her friend once again, and guilt was like a knife slowly torturing her.
Even though she didn't want to do it, she had no choice but to do it for the sake of the future of the entire Blood Beast Clan.
