"A contest?"
"Yes, these two races are having a competition to see who can catch more fish!"
"....."
Qin Yiyi stepped forward and saw that one of the sea creatures had already transformed into a fish tail and gone into the water, while the Naga people were still motionless.
This person is a very talented girl from the Naga tribe. She became a six-armed Naga as soon as she came of age. She knows that the most powerful ten-armed Naga has been grooming her as his successor. Currently, about a hundred Naga people can intermarry with other races after coming ashore. However, because the Naga population is small, the first requirement for these Naga people to marry and form a family, regardless of gender, is that the child born must live with the tribe and cannot go out alone. Children born without Naga genes can marry however they want.
This measure was taken to strengthen the Naga race.
Qin Yiyi asked the person next to her in a low voice, "Why are these two competing together?"
"Alas, my lord, you have no idea. Those sea creatures are said to be nobles from Atlantis. As soon as they arrived, they mocked the Naga as monsters with many hands. Naturally, the Naga were not convinced, and that's how this happened!"
Sea creatures are indeed like fish in water, but the Naga, a mutated sea creature, does not have good swimming skills. If she went into the water, her weaknesses would be exposed, so she did not go into the water.
The merman who emerged from the water provocatively, half-naked above the surface, taunted the Naga: "Merciful monsters, are you too scared to even go into the water?"
Tsk tsk, that tone of voice made everyone in the entire territory unhappy.
"What kind of thing is this, daring to come to my Qin territory and provoke me? Naga, teach him a lesson he's outrageous!"
"To be fair, this sea creature has a pretty good figure!"
"Ah! They say he's a nobleman from the sea tribe, who came to Qin territory specifically to establish friendly relations. Why is he so angry as soon as he arrives!"
The four pillar nations all place great importance on their status and bloodline. Even elves look down on half-elves, and it's normal for the sea tribes to look down on the Naga with their multiple arms after the mutation. However, Qin Yiyi, being the protective mother of her children, would naturally disagree with causing trouble in Qin territory.
Qin Yiyi whispered a few words to the guards beside her, and soon hundreds of people came and surrounded her. The sea creatures who saw that something was wrong squeezed to Qin Yiyi's side.
"My lord, this is a friendly exchange. There's no need to summon the Qin army!" The Qin army is renowned throughout the continent. Not only is the Imperial Federation wary of them, but the four pillar nations also dare not provoke them. Moreover, the Qin army's strength has now increased even further.
Qin Yiyi smiled as she looked at the sea people in front of her.
"What are you saying? I'm just asking people to maintain order at the scene, not targeting anyone. What are you thinking?"
Qin Yiyi's words left the other party with a difficult position. They watched as the elder's youngest son rushed into the water, and in a short while, with a flick of his tail, he herded the fish into the net. A true swarm caught all the fish.
Meanwhile, the Naga, who had been called an outcast since childhood, didn't care about the fish's provocative words. She simply focused her attention on the mermaid pulling in the net, and the mermaid felt her whole body stiffen. Then, all the fish in the net escaped, and the Naga, with her six arms, three bows, and twelve arrows, fired simultaneously, instantly killing all the escaping fish. The bird tribe members flashed past, arrows in their mouths, and emerged from the lake. Each arrow had three or four large fish on it, and this single shot caught nearly fifty fish.
The crowd gasped in disbelief.
At this moment, the leader of the Naga tribe also came to Qin Yiyi's side and looked at her respectfully.
"Thanks to the Lord leading the Naga out of the lake, otherwise Xiaoyue, the most talented child in the clan, would have been held back. Now she often practices archery with the half-elves, and her mental strength is the strongest among the younger generation of the clan. Soon she will be able to follow in your footsteps and charge into battle for you!"
Qin Yiyi waved her hand: "This child has just come of age. The attack on the Misty City will be carried out by more experienced soldiers. She should get more training."
"How can that be? Xiaoyue is training hard, firstly to inherit the Naga tribe, and secondly to fight for you. In the end, the army still needs your own people. Besides, you'll never have any experience if you don't go to the battlefield!"
The Naga tribe was rescued by Qin Yiyi, so they have always been loyal to her. Before the Naga chief could finish speaking, a cheer erupted from the crowd.
The fish was thrown into the bucket, and Xiaoyue was greeted with cheers.
The mermaid elder's son was furious.
"She cheated! She just used some external force to immobilize me! Otherwise, I would definitely have won!"
"Come on, how can losing mean the other person cheated? What are you even talking about!"
"You sea creatures, don't be so shameful!"
"Xiaoyue has just come of age, and that child is only a few years older than her. It's just children playing around!" The Naga chieftain was quite adept at giving the sea people a way out, while the sea people chuckled beside him.
"Yes, yes, it's just children playing around, nothing to worry about. What you really need to worry about, Lord, is the cooperation between the Sea Clan and Qin Territory!"
Off the field, the Viscount in the lake was not convinced and began to loudly demand a rematch. It was originally a best-of-three series, and he began to dive into the lake. However, Qin Yiyi's ears twitched and she looked at the calm lake surface. After merging with the Kraken bloodline, she was very sensitive, and the tentacles behind her were eager to move.
[I smell a big fish!]
[Wrong, it should be the octopus monster sneaking in! This merman boy is in trouble!]
[Don't be nervous, Yiyi! It's just a little octopus. We can take it down with just one tentacle!]
