Zhiyang snorted. Although he didn't want to discourage his own prince, Yu Wanwan was a hot-blooded beastman, so it was obvious that there was no possibility for her to be with Liuge. He couldn't let Liuge fall into this terrible love.
Zhiyang said, "What's the difference? Don't they all have two eyes and one mouth? Your Highness, the females of our mermaid tribe are no worse than those of the peacock tribe. You should look more at our own people."
Liu Ge was stunned by what he said: "Zhiyang, what are you talking about, what Peacock Clan?"
Zhiyang was also stunned: "That female, isn't she a peacock?"
In Zhiyang's understanding, the most beautiful and beauty-loving race among the hot-blooded beasts is the peacock tribe. That female is so beautiful that he doesn't believe that she is not a peacock!
Liu Ge couldn't help laughing and said softly, "No, Wanwan told me that she is from the ape tribe."
"Ape? How is that possible?" Zhiyang couldn't believe it and even stopped paddling.
The first thing that came to his mind was a small monkey with a red butt. Then he thought that was not right. Yu Wanwan was an ape. Her race was the kind of apes that were tall and strong and loved to pound their chests when they had nothing to do all day.
"She is actually an ape?!" Zhiyang was struck by lightning. He could not associate the beautiful and fragile Yu Wanwan with an orc like an ape.
Even until she returned to the palace, Zhiyang's head was still hazy.
Had he been in the sea for so long that he didn't know the land-based hot-blooded beasts had evolved to such perfection? Had he fallen so far behind?
As soon as they got home, Liuge and Zhiyang went to visit the Mermaid King.
The current mermaid king is already a white-haired old man, but his youthful elegance and grace can still be vaguely seen in his eyes and brows. He lies on a shell bed with a bowl of dark green medicine beside him.
Seeing Liuge and Zhiyang coming, the Mermaid King smiled kindly and invited them to sit beside him.
"Liu Ge, where have you been recently? I haven't seen you for several days."
Liu Ge lowered his head and played with his fingers, and said softly: "I went to play on the water grass beach."
Although his father was very kind to him, Liu Ge still didn't dare to tell others that he was friends with the Hot-Blooded Beastmen.
"Is the water grass beach so fun?"
"Yes." Liu Ge said, "Because I met a very beautiful little fish there, and I want to make friends with her."
When he said this, Liu Ge's eyes lit up and he looked obviously excited.
The Mermaid King looked at him and nodded gently. "Making friends is a good thing, but you should also know that you are my only son now. My throne will be handed over to you sooner or later. If you continue to be so idle, how can I feel at ease in the future?"
"Since you are worried, why don't you just stay as the Mermaid King?" Liu Ge grabbed the Mermaid King's hand, his expression full of attachment and innocence.
The Mermaid King laughed and said, "How can I hold this position forever? The throne must be passed down, and the life of an orc also has an end."
As if to confirm his words, the Mermaid King began to cough violently after he finished speaking.
Liuge hurriedly patted his back, and Zhiyang picked up the medicine and fed it into his mouth.
After drinking the medicine, the Mermaid King felt better and his cough subsided.
Seeing his beloved father lying on the sickbed, Liu Ge's eyes were filled with tears and he half-knelt in front of the bed looking at him.
The Mermaid King touched his head and comforted him softly: "Don't worry about me, this is all God's will. Maybe I will be able to find your mother and your brothers soon."
"Dad, don't talk nonsense." Liu Ge sniffed, and there was a cry in his voice.
The Mermaid King looked at his youngest son, his eyes filled with emotion.
He seemed to see his brothers through Liu Ge, and saw them grow from green boys into resolute and strong men, and finally die on the battlefield.
Liu Ge wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and choked up, "Didn't you say you would stay with me forever? You still have to be the Mermaid King for a long time."
The Mermaid King shook his head and said, "Liu Ge, I don't want to be the Mermaid King anymore. When you grow up, I will pass the throne to you. You must protect our people and don't let the hot-blooded orcs invade our homeland. I will be there to help you when the time comes."
Liuge is too young now and does not meet the requirements to succeed the throne. He is also the youngest child of the Mermaid King. He has been well protected since childhood and has no idea about the dangers of the world.
The Mermaid King originally hoped that Liuge could live freely for the rest of his life, but his other sons died one after another in the war, and finally Liuge had to shoulder this burden.
"Hot-blooded Beastmen?" Liu Ge raised his head. "Are the Hot-blooded Beastmen really that bad?"
The Yu Wanwan he saw was so gentle and lovely, and Mo Zhou and Uncle Youyi were also very nice people.
The Mermaid King stared blankly at the top of his head, his thoughts drifting to who knows where.
Is it bad? He doesn't know either.
When he succeeded to the throne, there were no major wars between the cold and hot tribes. They had only had disputes with some small tribes along the coast, which they had to do in order to obtain supplies from the land.
Once, the Mermaid King followed his people to the land and personally participated in a fight for supplies. The fearful eyes of the orcs had a great impact on him, and he was no longer willing to go ashore.
Later, his health gradually deteriorated, and the affairs of the tribe were handed over to the elders. Apart from the thought of protecting his people and guarding against the hot-blooded orcs, which always lingered in his mind, he had no other understanding of the hot-blooded orcs.
Seeing that the Mermaid King did not reply, Liu Ge could not help but ask again.
