This time, Yu Wanwan truly read through the entire memory from beginning to end. Perhaps it was because it had ended that she did not re-enter the memory.
As the weather gradually warmed up, Yu Wanwan sat by the pond where she kept Lanyin, throwing the small fish that Mozhou had caught back into the pond to feed Lanyin.
Lost in thought, a drop of water landed on her face. Yu Wanwan felt a tightening around her waist and was pulled into the water.
She didn't sink; instead, she was lifted up by her armpits, her skirt billowing as she floated on the water.
“Lanyin…” The person holding her had long, dark blue hair and a familiar, faint smile. Who else could it be but Lanyin?
"Wanwan, it's me."
Yu Wanwan's eyes widened slightly, still somewhat incredulous. She touched Lan Yin's face, feeling the real touch on her fingertips, and then smiled, "That's great, Lan Yin, you're finally back!"
Yu Wanwan hugged his neck, and Lan Yin pressed the back of her head, pulling her tightly into his arms.
Having regained her lost partner, Yu Wanwan's smile never faded all day. She brought Lanyin to everyone and introduced her solemnly.
During the meal, Lan Yin and Fei Han sat together, one alluring and the other aloof, representing two different types of peak beauty.
Yu Wanwan, biting her chopsticks, couldn't help but say, "Lanyin is so pretty, and Feihan is so pretty too."
Bai Jing and Qing Lu nodded, but Fei Han was not happy. Her lips were pouting higher than the sky: "I'm clearly better looking than him!"
The way these children were vying for attention made everyone laugh.
Bai Jing specifically instructed Yu Wanwan: "Although Lan Yin and Mo Zhou are both cold-blooded beastmen, the merfolk are the initiators of the war, and the hatred towards them is far greater than that towards the snakes. It's best not to let anyone know that Lan Yin is a merfolk."
"So what should we do?"
Bai Jing said, "We can say to outsiders that Lan Yin is also a snake clan member."
Yu Wanwan glanced at Lan Yin subconsciously.
Won't he feel like he's being kept in the dark and become unhappy?
Lan Yin understood her meaning and was very understanding: "It's okay. The snake clan is also a cold-blooded beast clan. Our two clans have similar scents. If I say I'm a snake clan member, no one will doubt it."
He had thought his life was over, but now that he was able to return to the little female, he naturally wanted to eliminate any factors that might threaten them.
Lan Yin has officially settled down in the White Tiger Tribe. After all, there was already Mo Zhou before him, so everyone was very accepting of him. In addition, Lan Yin seemed gentle and easy to get along with, which made everyone like him even more.
On this day, Nan Shu took advantage of the good weather to lead the tribesmen in planting, while Yu Wanwan and Mo Zhou sat beside them, watching Bai Jing work.
Sunlight fell on his tanned skin. Bai Jing raised his head and brushed his hair back. Beads of sweat trickled down his delicate chin and rolled into the ground.
This scene made Yu Wanwan's mouth water.
Mo Zhou narrowed his eyes and moved closer to Yu Wanwan, blocking her view: "Wanwan, what are you looking at?"
"Ahem." Yu Wanwan cleared her throat, guiltily avoiding his gaze: "It's nothing."
Mo Zhou moved even closer, their noses almost touching, and he looked at her scrutinizingly.
Yu Wanwan felt a little embarrassed, then suddenly pointed to the sky behind him: "I'm looking at the scenery. The weather is so nice today."
Mo Zhou looked in the direction she was pointing and pouted, "What's better?"
The sun was so strong that his scales were almost sticking up.
"What's wrong with it?" Yu Wanwan hugged his neck, her eyes almost squinting with laughter: "This is called peaceful and serene life."
...
However, this peaceful time did not last long. Suddenly, an orc stumbled up to Bai Jing and said something in a panic. Bai Jing's expression turned serious.
Yu Wanwan was far away and didn't know what they were saying, but she saw Bai Jing drop his tools and quickly follow the beastmen away.
Shunfeng ran over to Yu Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, Baijing said he's going out for a bit and wants you to go back first. Don't stay here in the sun."
Yu Wanwan pointed in the direction they left: "What just happened?"
Shunfeng said, "Our people just discovered merfolk near the tribe. Strangely, they are taller and larger than ordinary merfolk, their bodies are covered in black mist, and their eyes are a white blur. They pounce on people and bite them. Several of our people have been injured."
Yu Wanwan clenched her fists instinctively, her breath catching in her throat. A thought was swirling in her mind, but she wasn't sure yet.
Mo Zhou also dropped his languid expression, frowned, and leaned closer.
"Wouldn't it be dangerous for Bai Jing to go there?"
Shunfeng comforted him, "Don't worry, although the merfolk are strange, there are only two of them, and they have already been brought under control. Now we're just sending the clan leader over to take a look."
Hearing this, Yu Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Jing didn't return home for almost the entire night, only coming back at noon the next day.
Yu Wanwan rushed over: "Bai Jing, are you hurt? What happened?"
Bai Jing patted her head and told her the whole story.
Just as Shunfeng said, those two suddenly appearing merfolk were too strange.
Yu Wanwan couldn't help but ask, "Bai Jing, are those two merfolk people unable to speak, seemingly mindless, and almost like wild beasts?"
Bai Jing stared at her intently: "Wanwan, do you know what happened?"
Yu Wanwan pursed her lips.
She knew because she had seen in her memory what it looked like when Dark Breath was attached to the Cold-Blooded Beastmen, just as they described.
