Hearing Tu Ling's words, the big white rabbit in her arms twisted shyly twice and buried its face deeper, which made Tu Ling even happier. But when she raised her eyes, she saw Shi Yi suddenly appear in front of her with a gloomy face, and she couldn't laugh anymore.
What happened to Shiyi? She didn't seem to have offended him, did she?
"Madam, have you forgotten someone?" Shi Yi was too aggrieved: "Am I not worthy of your love?"
"Since I married into the camp, first it was Ye Li, then Yin Hen, and now Bai Qi. What about me?" Shi Yi bit her lip: "Why did you forget me?"
"Um, Shikichi, have you forgotten me too?"
Although Zi Ye felt that it was not a good idea to interrupt now, he was not willing to be excluded from the camp.
Tu Ling laughed awkwardly, not knowing what to say. Should she tell him it would be her turn next time? That would be too much of a jerk.
Fortunately, Lance came back at this time. Tu Ling felt relieved and quickly hugged the orcs and said, "Wait for me to come back."
Then walk towards the seaside.
Looking at Tu Ling's departing back, Yin Hen couldn't help but stretched out his hand to keep her, but he only touched the end of Tu Ling's hair.
Tu Ling walked to the beach and asked Lance in the water, "How is it? Did you get it?"
"I got it, here you go!"
Lance stretched out his hand from the water and handed the pearl in his hand to Tu Ling.
The pearls are round and smooth, but not pure white. Instead, they have a light pink hue and emit a dazzling light.
Tu Ling wondered if the pearl that glows is called a night-shining pearl, but can a night-shining pearl be as bright as a light bulb? She had little experience, but she was really curious about this thing.
"Hurry up and eat it." Lance was a little anxious when he saw that Tu Lingguang didn't eat it. In fact, he was also very curious whether eating this pearl could really allow orcs on land to breathe water.
He had only heard his mother tell stories when he was very young. She said that she had given the pearl to an orc on land, and then she brought the orc back to the kingdom.
That's when he asked, "Where are the orcs?"
The queen mother said with regret: "Dead. The lifespan of orcs on land is much shorter than ours. Falling in love with them will only increase the pain. But you can still bring them back to play with them. But remember, Lance, you must not fall in love with females on land."
Females can fall in love with countless males, and if the male dies, they're dead. At most, they'll be sad for a while. But males can't do that. If Lance falls in love with a female on land, he will involuntarily want to be marked by the female. Once marked, if the female dies, Lance will also die.
Therefore, there is a rule in the kingdom that males in the kingdom cannot be with females on land, let alone join their camps or bring females to the kingdom.
He had never seen any mermaid give pearls to orcs on land, as they were used for glowing.
Tu Ling opened her mouth, put the pearl into it, closed her eyes and felt it, but seemed to feel nothing.
"Swallow it!" Lance reminded.
As the pearl slid from the esophagus into the stomach, a strange energy flowed through the body, finally gathering in Tu Ling's legs and behind his ears.
A flash of light passed by, and the smooth and straight legs slowly merged together. Smooth red scales emerged from the skin, and the muscles behind the ears split and sank inward, then were covered by newly grown cheeks.
The orcs on the shore looked at Tu Ling worriedly. As the light faded, everyone saw Tu Ling clearly in his current state, but were stunned by the changes in Tu Ling.
The original black fox orc had lost her fox ears and grew a slender and powerful red tail. Her shiny black curly hair turned crimson, and her huge transparent ear fins shone with silver light. Her appearance was graceful and inviolable, only three-tenths similar to her original appearance on land. If I hadn't seen her become like this, I would never have believed that she was Tu Ling.
Lance was first stunned by Tu Ling's beauty, then he was stunned and shouted in disbelief, "How did you become a mermaid?"
Tu Ling's newly grown tail is four meters long. It is impossible for a mermaid's tail to grow so long, and the scales are fine and fragmented. Unlike their mermaids' tails, the scales are all in one piece, and only the abdomen has such fine scales.
Lance couldn't understand it. It was obviously a treasure of their mermaid tribe. Even if eating it would change the species, it should turn people into mermaids. How could it turn people into mermen?
Tu Ling opened her eyes and was surprised to see her legs turned into a tail and the red hair hanging down in front of her chest. She looked into the water below her and her appearance was exactly the same as before. Sure enough, this face was still more pleasing to the eye.
Several males and cubs who had been watching on the shore for a long time rushed over.
Yin Ji threw himself into Tu Ling's arms, and looked at her curiously with his round eyes: "Are you my mother?"
Tu Ling was amused by him and scratched his nose lovingly: "I'm not your mother, who else do you want to be your mother?"
"I don't want anyone else, I just want my mother~"
Fu Xiang looked at Tu Ling, wanting to get closer but not daring to. While he was hesitating, Tu Ling had already embraced him in her arms: "Take care, you two. I'll be back soon."
Seeing the Tuling camp looking like they were parting ways with each other, Lance couldn't help but laugh: "No, you land orcs are okay, right? It's not like you won't be coming back, so why bother?"
Then he received a lot of glares from everyone, and Lance was embarrassed and kept silent.
Tu Ling let go of Yin Ji and Fu Xiang, said goodbye to them, and followed Lance into the sea.
She felt the wonderful sensation of the sea water surrounding her, yet she could breathe freely, and even her eyes were not affected by the water.
Seeing her happy expression, Lance warned her, "You'd better be careful. Mermen and mermen are natural enemies in this ocean. If other mermaids see you like this, I'm not sure I can protect you."
"Mermaid?"
Only then did Tu Ling notice that her tail was different from Lance's. She thought she had also become a mermaid, but it turned out she was a merman.
After comparing them, Tu Ling came to a conclusion: "The mermaid's tail is more beautiful than the mermaid's."
The appearance of mermaids and mermen are both very dreamy, but they give two completely different feelings. Mermaids have a bit of Western romanticism, while mermen are like the mythology in the legends of her homeland, like gods and demons, incomprehensible, but people just want to chase them and even destroy them.
"Bah!" Lance spat at the mermaid fiercely. "How can they be pretty? Mermaids are like sirens. You have no idea how evil they are! They come to the Mermaid Kingdom to kill people from time to time, and even try to steal the crystals we worked so hard to get!"
"This evil race deserves to be exterminated!" Lance was still not satisfied after saying this and cursed harshly.
Lance's chest heaved violently after he finished cursing. Seeing his anger, Tu Ling didn't respond. After a while, his anger subsided on his own: "Where is the creature you're talking about hiding?"
