Chapter 267 The Mermaid Marries a New Beast Husband
Night falls on the southern coast of the South China Sea—
As night fell, a cool, slightly salty sea breeze swept by.
The sky and the sea merge into one, indistinguishable from each other, while the other end seems to stretch endlessly.
"This is it."
Shu Ning found a rock to sit on and ate some dried animal meat as a supplement.
The cold autumn wind blew against my face.
She gently touched her cold cheek. Gazing at the boundless sea in the distance, she fell into deep thought.
Shu Ning put the encyclopedia back into her spatial storage, took out the breathing pill given to her by Mo Li, and got up to step into the seawater.
"Oh! Your Majesty..."
The Crimson Tiger, who was leading the group, came out and shouted.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
"Boss, what should we do? The Queen..."
"What should we do? Of course, we should follow them!" said the lead Crimson Tiger.
“But…we don’t have any breathing pills,” said the subordinate, Crimson Tiger, with a worried expression.
While the Crimson Flame Tigers were worrying, the Black Serpent Clan beastmen had already followed them into the water.
As Shu Ning swam in the directions indicated in the encyclopedia, she suddenly sensed a lot of movement behind her.
She frowned slightly and immediately sped up her swimming towards the seabed.
"Quick, keep up!" shouted the leader of the black snake clan upon seeing this.
"yes."
The territory of the Merfolk.
"Madam Chief, wait for us—"
After the Black Serpent Clan's subordinates could no longer see anyone, they shouted, instantly attracting several Merfolk stationed there.
The merfolk emit a blue reflective light, which is especially noticeable in the deep sea.
Upon seeing this, the black snake clan members immediately retreated and found a place to hide.
"Who dares to trespass on the territory of the South China Sea!"
"Get out here right now!"
...
The merfolk searched the area but did not find them.
"Did you hear me wrong?" a merman said.
"That can't be right, I definitely heard it just now..."
Seeing that the guards had left, Shu Ning, who was hiding behind the coral reef, took advantage of the weakened defenses and quietly sneaked in.
She seemed to have heard some noise, but when she turned around, she didn't see anything.
Only a few dazzling merfolk were visible in the distance.
Before they returned, she didn't hesitate any longer and immediately slipped into a corridor-like coral reef.
"Everyone, be on your guard! Tomorrow is the Holy Mother's wedding day, so be extra careful tonight," said the merman guard beside him.
"Yes!" the other merman guard replied, but he still felt something was amiss.
"Go back, go back."
After the merfolk left, the black serpent beastmen came out.
"What do we do now? We've lost the chief's wife?" a black snake guard asked.
"...Stay here and wait for an opportunity to sneak in," said the leader of the black snake clan.
"Brother, why do you think the chieftain's wife went to the Merfolk tribe?"
"I don't know."
"I heard that the lord of the Eastern Sea was driven out by the Merfolk. Do you think the chieftain's wife went to avenge him?"
"How could that be? What relationship does he have with our chief's wife? Be careful, or the chief will punish you."
"Oh." The black snake clan subordinate wisely shut his mouth and said no more.
Mermaid Palace
"Have you heard? The Holy Mother is getting ready to marry a new beastman!"
"Really? The Holy Mother is going to marry a new beast husband? Which male is so lucky to have caught the Holy Mother's eye?"
"No, they're not from our Merfolk race. They seem to be from the land, they're..."
"Which tribe, what race?"
"I remember now, he's from the fox clan. I saw him once before; he was incredibly handsome!"
"Really? What does it look like?"
"A handsome face, deep features, charming and beautiful, even more beautiful than a female... Oh, I can't explain it clearly, but in short, he has a completely different feeling from our merfolk."
"..."
After entering the territory of the Merfolk, Shu Ning followed her memory and found the Merfolk Palace.
She happened to run into two merfolk chatting, so she hid behind a nearby coral reef.
She hadn't paid much attention to their conversation at first, but when she overheard that they were going to marry a male fox, she frowned slightly.
I decided to keep listening.
"When will the Holy Mother marry her new beast husband?"
"First thing tomorrow morning."
"So fast, it seems that the male fox must be exceptionally handsome, that the Holy Female is so eager to become his mate."
"Let's go, let's go prepare a congratulatory gift for the Holy Mother."
After not hearing the two merfolk's voices again from behind the coral reef, Shu Ning fell into deep thought.
Is it possible that Jin Tong is really going to become partners with this holy female merman?
Isn't it said that male foxes only recognize one mate for their entire lives?
Or perhaps he never considered her his partner.
After all, she forced him at the beginning.
Perhaps he never truly accepted her.
Her vision was a little blurry at that moment.
She finally understood how he felt when she mated with other males.
But then I thought, anyone could find a new partner, but Jin Tong was the least likely one.
She rubbed her eyes, calmed down for a moment, and regained her composure.
Since it's about finding a partner, everyone should be treated as a guest.
To enter the palace, one must have a decent gift.
Open the encyclopedia to find information about the Merfolk.
Merfolk:
Most of them live in the South Jiao Sea.
I love sweet singing voices...
I love gorgeous robes...
Merfolk are obsessed with round, lustrous pearls, especially deep-sea pearls that gleam with a deep blue or silvery sheen under the moonlight.
Legend has it that their tears would condense into pearls, hence their almost obsessive fondness for pearls.
Among the gifts Mo Li gave her, there seemed to be a deep-sea pearl.
Picking out a royal blue cloak from her robes, she suddenly remembered that it was a gift from Mo Li's mother, and put it back.
That's what she's going to wear tomorrow.
After preparing the gift, she was already feeling a little sleepy.
I covered myself with a fur blanket, intending to curl up in this corner and sleep there for the night.
The next morning.
"La la la... la la la la..."
Shu Ning was awakened by a long, melodious song, and she frowned.
Having maintained the same posture all night, she struggled to get up.
At this moment, Shu Ning's mind went blank; how did she end up here?
"It's starting, it's starting."
On the other side of the coral corner was a road, and the excited voices of the merfolk reached my ears.
"Hehe, I can't wait to meet the Holy Female's new beast husband!"
"Me too! Even though I've already seen him once, I still want to see him more. He's really handsome!"
"Hearing you say that, I can't wait to see that male fox!"
Some of the merfolk thought running was too slow, so they simply started flying.
Shu Ning covered her head, only then realizing that she was in the Merfolk tribe.
Fortunately, this corner went unnoticed.
"Hello!"
Suddenly an unfriendly voice came from above.
Oh no, what I said came true.
Shu Ning looked up and saw a handsome male merman.
"What are you doing here!?"
“I…” Shu Ning frowned slightly, then, as if remembering something, her eyes relaxed and she said, “I’m here to congratulate your Holy Female on marrying her new beast husband.”
As she spoke, she took out a gift box that she had prepared in advance from behind her back.
