Human nature is greedy. When they encounter unknown species, they are afraid but also have an endless desire to explore.
They 'protect' you, study you, and want to extract more value from you for their own use.
This is a lesson learned with countless blood.
Even though the tribe has banned it many times, there are still some who slip through the net and sneak ashore.
Quan Jiao is not the first and will not be the last.
When Quan Jiao heard the questioning tone, she felt like she was on fire:
"Only Yue Qi knows this! He's a good man, he wouldn't be like what you say!"
How could a person who feels guilty even for breaking off an engagement with someone he doesn't like be as vicious as the elders in the tribe say humans are?
The people here are obviously all good people, and those stories and legends are all slandering humanity!
"Most people here are very kind. They speak softly and smile to strangers. Life here is convenient and comfortable. I just love it here and want to stay here forever!"
Whether it's a shopping mall or a restaurant, people there are very willing to help strangers, and people online speak nicely and know a lot.
It’s totally different from the cold and boring seabed!
Quan Yu pursed his lips into a straight line in displeasure. How could there be such a stupid and noisy mermaid?
"You can stay here if you want, but if you dare to leak information about the clan, you will be treated as a traitor!"
Quan Yu's voice was not loud, but every word was engraved in Quan Jiao's heart.
Traitor, deal with it...
Quan Jiao shuddered. Although she had never seen the treatment of traitors with her own eyes, she had heard that traitors would have all their scales pulled out and be hung in the breeding pool of piranha cubs.
Without the protection of scales, even baby piranhas can easily break their skin.
The traitor will not be executed immediately, but will be eaten clean bit by bit from the tail of the fish upwards.
She was just curious and wanted to visit the human world, and didn't want to lose her life.
"I know!" Quan Jiao promised, "I will abide by the rules, but please don't appear in front of me again! It brings bad luck!"
Quan Jiao tried to get rid of this troublesome guy.
Running out from time to time can really put too much strain on your heart.
"You don't like it here anyway, so you might as well go back early. Maybe the tribe will find you a better partner to compensate you."
Quan Yu: “…”
Quan Yu glanced in the direction of the upstairs private restaurant and kindly reminded:
"Don't trust others easily. They are different from us."
Quan Jiao thought Quan Yu was trying to sow discord between her and Lu Yueqi again, so she said impatiently:
"I know, no need for you to meddle in my business!"
Quan Jiao made claws with her hands and gestured strangely, "You'd better go back early, be careful not to run into bad guys..."
After saying that, he left quickly without paying any attention to Quan Yu.
Quan Yu's frown never relaxed. He glanced at Quan Jiao lightly, then looked away and continued to stare in the direction of the private restaurant.

When Mo Qin returned home, she saw her father and mother sitting together on the sofa in the living room, excitedly talking about something.
Noticing that Mo Qin had returned, Mo's mother immediately asked Mo Qin to sit over.
A test report was placed on the polished glass coffee table.
Apparently, the test results of the medicine that Lu Yueqi had gotten a few days ago came out.
"Qinqin, come here quickly!"
Mo's mother took Mo Qin's hand and pressed her down on the sofa. She glanced towards the door.
"Why are you back alone? Didn't you go out to eat with Yue Qi? Why didn't you invite him to come over and sit with you?"
Mo Qin: Does the change in attitude have to be so obvious?
"He had something else to do, so he left after dinner. The driver brought me back."
Mother Mo seemed to be thinking about something, then turned to Father Mo and said:
"Hasn't the Lu family been in some trouble recently? If you can help, please do so. After all, the Lu and Mo families are relatives."
Father Mo did not answer, but looked at Mo Qin, his eyes speaking clearly.
The culprit is sitting here, what can you say to him?
Mo Qin brought the conversation back to the topic, "Mom, didn't you say before that you agreed to my breaking off the engagement? Why have you changed your mind now?"
Mo's mother supported her face and glared at Mo Qin.
"That was in the past. Now it seems that Yue Qi really cares about you."
They can even develop the latest medicine, so who can find fault with it?
Mo's mother was completely overwhelmed by the test report. She picked up the report and handed it to Mo Qin.
"Take a look! Even leading experts say the ingredients in this medicine are far more effective than existing medications. As long as clinical trials are done, there's hope for your disease!"
The test report contained a lot of professional terms, which they could not understand, but they could still understand the final conclusion and the experts' words.
Mo Qin read the test report at a glance, sighed, and put the report back on the table.
"Mom, even if this medicine works, I don't want to marry Lu Yueqi."
"Treatment is one thing, and it should not be confused with marriage."
Besides, who knows if this medicine has any side effects? It won’t be a problem for her to live on her own for another ten or half years.
Mo's mother was silent. She certainly knew that these two things could not be confused.
But she wanted more to cure her daughter's illness and find a reliable home for her.
Lu Yueqi's good performance at the moment couldn't help but move her.
Mo's father actually had the same idea, but Mo Qin expressed her opinion so firmly that he didn't know what to say.
After a long time, Father Mo patted his thigh and decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
"We'll talk about this later. Don't worry. The most important thing now is to cure your illness."
Mo Qin decided to give them a heads-up first. "You're optimistic about Lu Yueqi because you think he's good to me, but what if he's having an affair with another woman?"
"What? Qinqin, are you telling the truth? Did you hear some rumors?" Mo's mother reacted the most.
Mo's father also sat up straight, as if as long as Mo Qin nodded, they would rush to the Lu family to cause trouble.
Mo Qin resisted the urge to hold his forehead.
"Don't get excited, I'm just making an assumption."
Who has a bad heart?
She is still a patient!
Mo's mother was suspicious: "Fake?"
Father Mo remained silent. He frowned and thought about it, feeling that something was wrong.
Combined with Mo Qin's sudden change in attitude towards Lu Yueqi and what she did to the Lu family...
No, that's not right. Mo Qin rarely goes out and has no channels to obtain information. How could she possibly discover the secret events that they are all unaware of?
The evidence Mo Qin has now is enough to convince the Mo couple, but when presented to the Lu family, the evidence seems a little weak.
With this medicine as a threat, the Lu family may still have something to fight for.
Fortunately, Quan Jiao really wanted Mo Qin and Lu Yueqi to break off their engagement. On the third day after their conversation in the private restaurant, Quan Jiao sent Mo Qin what she wanted.
Mo Qin accidentally clicked on a photo, and the explicit content in the photo almost made her want to wash her eyes.
The mermaids are truly a bold and open race.
