Chapter 246 Let's go home
"you……!"
The blue orc was enraged by Jin Tong's arrogant demeanor. He turned to Leng Ye and said, "My lord!"
Seeing the expressions on Jin Tong and Yan's faces, the merman probably guessed what had happened.
He frowned, looking at the blue orc in front of him and all the orcs in the hall. He sighed and rubbed his forehead.
Seeing that their lord had no intention of harming them, the blue orc pointed to the entrance behind Nightmare and continued, "My lord, they've hidden in that inner room!"
"Shut up!" the merman yelled at him after hearing this.
"My lord..." The blue beastman looked bewildered and confused when he heard the merman's angry voice.
Then the merman passed through the sea monsters and headed towards the direction of Nightmare and his group.
"My lord, be careful!"
The blue orc and the other orcs looked worriedly at the merman as he saw him walk away, and at the same time they gripped their bone knives tightly again, watching Nightmare and the others warily.
At this moment, Yi Yuan and the other three frowned as they watched the merman walk towards them step by step, finally stopping in front of Yan.
He sighed helplessly and looked at Yan and the others, saying, "My men are ignorant, please don't mind them."
"Weren't you going to arrest us?" Yan said disdainfully upon hearing his words.
"Who wants to arrest you?" he asked, spreading his hands. "Who is it?"
"Tch, pretending to be deaf and dumb," Jin Tong said speechlessly.
When the blue orc saw this, he thought that his master was afraid of Nightmare and that was why he was acting this way.
"My lord, there are only a few of them. We outnumber them, so we're not afraid of losing," he reminded him.
At this moment, the merman turned his head and glared at the blue orc, "If you say another word, you're out of a job."
The blue orc didn't understand, but immediately shut his mouth upon hearing this.
The merman looked behind the Nightmare and called out softly, "Ningning, it's me, Leng Ye."
“Come out, it’s alright now,” he called out.
Upon hearing this, the blue orc and the other orcs looked at their lord in shock.
Didn't their lord know there were people inside? Yet, instead of being angry, he called out to the people inside so gently.
Thinking of this, although they didn't understand why he would tolerate the two thieves so much, they knew they would definitely be punished.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Lin loosened his grip on Shu Ning's hand slightly, then led her out from inside.
"My lord, it's her, she stole the pearl!" One of the orcs standing in front shouted immediately upon seeing Shu Ning.
"And him, he injured the younger brother!" another person shouted upon seeing Xiao Chong emerge from behind.
Upon hearing this, the other sea monsters cautiously moved closer to the entrance.
Upon seeing Shu Ning and hearing the voices of the other beastmen, the merman frowned.
"My lord, it's those two thieves!" an orc shouted, worried that Xiao Chong and his companions might pose a threat to their lord.
“Yes, it’s them…” the other orcs shouted.
"..."
The entire hall was immediately filled with the eager shouts of the sea creatures pointing out the wrong places.
"Shut up, all of you!"
Upon hearing this, the merman was furious. He took a deep breath, turned around, and roared at the group of orcs behind him.
Hearing the merman's angry voice, the sea creatures froze. Although they were angry at Shu Ning and the others, none of them dared to utter another sound.
When the merman saw Shu Ning come out, he went forward to greet her and reached out to take her other hand.
Seeing this, Xuan Lin immediately pulled Shu Ning into his arms, preventing him from having a chance to hold her hand.
When the merman saw Xuan Lin's jealous look as he protected the female, he paused, his hand hovering in the air. He chuckled helplessly and then came out with them.
At this moment, Yan and Yiyuan also transformed into human form.
"Ningning, where did you go?" Jin Tong asked as he saw Shu Ning come out.
The merman also wanted to know at this moment.
“We went out for a stroll and accidentally broke their pearls. When the orc saw this, he threatened to kill us. Xiao Chong fought him to protect me,” Shu Ning said.
"Later he called for help, and we compensated them and gave them herbs, but they still wouldn't let us go."
Upon hearing this, a sinister glint flashed in Yi Yuan's eyes, and his entire body radiated a chilling aura.
"This is outrageous!" Upon hearing this, Yan forcefully pushed aside the merman blocking his way and walked to Shu Ning's side, glaring angrily at the merman. "Just a worthless pearl, yet you demand our Ning Ning pay with her life!"
"Why……"
"Exactly! We've already made compensation, and they still came all this way!" Jin Tong said angrily after hearing this, "And they even insulted our Ning Ning so horribly!"
"If we had known that the things here were so valuable, we should have gone back sooner."
Leng Ye was about to say something when Jin Tong interrupted him.
At this moment, Yi Yuan walked up to Shu Ning, took her hand, and said, "Come on, let's go home."
"Hmm," Jin Tong replied, then suddenly remembered that Mo Li and Han She were still at the Dragon Vein, and reminded them, "Where are Mo Li and the others?"
“They have legs of their own, and they’ll know we’re not here, so they’ll go back on their own.” Xuanmo said, then prepared to leave with Yiyuan and the others.
"Hey, hey, wait a minute." Seeing this, the merman quickly stepped forward to stop Yi Yuan.
"Get out of the way." Yi Yuan stopped and said in an icy tone.
"Don't rush off yet," Leng Ye said with a smile. "Ningning hasn't recovered yet."
“Ningning’s body hasn’t recovered yet, but if she continues to stay here, all your precious things will probably be stolen by us thieves,” Jin Tong said, rolling her eyes.
"How could that be? It's all a misunderstanding." Leng Ye quickly stopped Yi Yuan as he was about to leave.
"Misunderstand?"
Jin Tong said, "It's about to turn into a fight, and you're telling me it's a misunderstanding? If you hadn't come back in time, we probably would have all been beaten up as thieves."
"And also, weren't you just going out to hang out with Ningning and the others?" Jin Tong said, then, as if remembering something, continued, "So you were planning to just leave like that so your men could go and capture Ningning, right?"
"Ah, so that's what they were up to, no wonder they wouldn't let us leave!"
Leng Ye's eyes grew deeper as he listened, knowing that no amount of explanation would appease them.
He looked at the blue orc, "You, come here."
The blue orc who witnessed this scene realized he had made a grave mistake, and when he heard his master call him, he walked forward in fear.
"My lord," he called out, looking up slightly at Leng Ye.
Suddenly, he knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said regretfully, "I know I was wrong, my lord. I was blind to your greatness and did not know that they were your guests. Please punish me, my lord!"
As he spoke, he quickly took out the Xuanjing Stone that Shu Ning had given him, held it up above his head with both hands, and handed it to Leng Ye.
Following the words Yan had just used to call out to Shu Ning, he said, "This is what Ning Ning gave to compensate for the pearls!"
Seeing this, the merman, just as Shu Ning had said, gave him something as compensation. He took the mystic crystal from the blue beastman's hand and examined it carefully.
