Chapter 404: Bright and hidden
When I got home, the kids weren't back yet.

Yan Lie went to the kitchen to prepare food for the whole family.

Jin Yi sat with her in the courtyard, basking in the sun.

His large palm enveloped her soft, small hand, and he liked this reassuring feeling, which brought him a sense of peace and contentment.

Bai Wanwan glanced at him and then pulled her hand out of his palm.

Jin Yi looked up at her, puzzled. "Wanwan?"

Her slender arms encircled his neck, Bai Wanwan leaned closer, and looked up at him, "There are no other males around now..."

As soon as the red lips in front of him parted slightly, Jin Yi immediately understood her meaning, lowered his head, and covered them with the rosy lips he had been longing for day and night.

Bai Wanwan relaxed, led by him, and completely enveloped by his aura.

Later, Jin Yi used all his strength to pull her onto his lap.

The atmosphere grew increasingly ambiguous, and the kiss slowly moved from the lips...

Just then, Yan Lie's voice came from the front yard, "Hey, Wanwan, Jin Yi..."

Jin Yi finally came to his senses, his lips slowly parting, his breath still not calm.

His eyes were filled with unfulfilled desires.

"So you've been hiding here."

Yan Lie strode over and said, "Jin Yi, come and help me with something."

Jin Yi had no choice but to let go of her first. "I'll go see what's going on and I'll be right back."

"Okay, go ahead."

Although the courtyard where they lived was located in an area inhabited by outsider beastmen.

But now Chief Rong is the patriarch of the Tiger Clan. Not only does Bai Wanwan live here, but there are also more than a dozen cubs. He has already sent people to guard outside.

It won't disturb their family, and their safety is guaranteed to a certain extent.

After Jin Yi and Yan Lie left one after the other, Bai Wanwan sat on the stone bench, wanting to lean against the wall and take a nap.

But after closing her eyes, she suddenly felt someone staring at her.

I opened my eyes abruptly; the courtyard was empty.

She shook her head, thinking it might be her imagination, and closed her eyes again, intending to continue dozing off.

This time, however, she heard the sound of water.

The sound of water...

Because she needs to take showers frequently, the water supply at home is insufficient.

Several animal handlers dug a small pool in the yard to store water.

But the pool is stagnant water, so how could there be any sound of water?
Bai Wanwan stood up and walked step by step toward the pool, most of which was covered by wooden planks.

She saw something flash by.

“I see you. Come out yourself, or I’ll have my beastman kick you out.”

Just a moment ago, she saw the mermaid's shimmering fish tail, which was very beautiful.

Not long after he finished speaking, another sound came from the pool.

A silver-haired merman poked his head out of the pool.

Her stunning face shone brightly in the sunlight, creating a visual impact.

But Bai Wanwan remained vigilant. "How did you get here?"

The merman immediately spoke up, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Bai Wanwan scoffed, "Bad Beasts don't put 'I'm a Bad Beast' on their faces. Hurry up and tell me, why are you here?"

Perhaps because she looked too fierce, the merman sank her body deeper into the water, her eyes revealing a hint of hurt.

"I had nowhere else to go, so I followed you here. I won't hurt you. Can I stay here for a while?"

“If my beast husband finds you hiding here, he’ll kick you out anyway. You’ll leave the same way you came in.” Jiao Yin lowered her eyes. “The beast pet merchant is still looking for me. If he finds me now, he’ll definitely kill me…”

After he finished speaking, he seemed to hear a noise and his whole body sank into the water.

"Wanwan... what are you doing standing here?" Jin Yi walked closer to her and asked.

Bai Wanwan grabbed his hand and pointed to the pool, "The merman we saw a few days ago is in our pool now."

Jiaoyin, who was in the pool, froze. He never expected that the female would tell her beast husband about her existence.

He had seen far too many females who harbored lust for their kind.

He thought that since he had come here on his own initiative, the females would keep him, and even if they didn't make him their mate, they would keep him as a pet.

But this female seems a little different.

Upon hearing her words, Jin Yi pulled her to his side.

"Do you want me to invite you out, or do you want me to?"

Jiaoyin quickly weighed the pros and cons in her mind, and then swam out of the water again.

The bloodstains on his body revealed that he had been subjected to long-term abuse.

"How did you get in?" Jin Yi cut straight to the heart of the matter.

There are many orcs guarding the outside.

Jiaoyin lowered her eyelashes, looking somewhat pitiful. "My merfolk can conceal their presence. I sneaked in while they weren't looking."

"How many females are there in the entire tiger clan? Why are you targeting my female?" Jin Yi's gaze was full of scrutiny.

It was as if if he gave even one wrong answer, the lion's claws would slash open his fragile throat.

"Because... she was the only one who didn't show any greed after seeing me, so I felt it was safe to stay by her side for the time being."

"Since you want safety so much, why don't you leave the Tiger Clan?"

"I cannot stay away from the water source for long, and the Merfolk are not strong in combat. If I leave the Tiger Clan, there will be many dangers outside, and I am afraid I will never have a chance to return to my homeland."

Bai Wanwan listened silently, and his explanation contained no flaws.

It seems they were truly driven to desperation by the pet dealer, which is why they desperately followed her back.

"You can't leave the Tiger Clan, and you don't want to follow other females, so you mean you want to stay with my female forever?" Jin Yi's tone had become very dangerous.

But the next second, Jiaoyin shook her head, "I'm only staying for a few days. I'll leave once I figure out a way."

"What if we can't think of a solution?"

Jiaoyin looked into the male's eyes and made a promise, "Then I will leave too."

Just as I finished speaking, a burst of playful noises came from outside, and then the children chased and played as they ran into the backyard.

"Mommy, what is it? It's so beautiful!"

Several cubs walked up to the merman, tilted their heads, and stared at him with their innocent and curious eyes.

Merfolk are indeed very beautiful creatures, quite different from other creatures on the continent.

The most prominent characteristic of other creatures is their fighting strength, but his most obvious characteristic is his beauty.

"I am a merman, an orc who lives in the depths of the ocean."

Looking at so many cubs, his expression softened.

"The depths of the ocean? What kind of place is that?"

Upon seeing the beautiful mermaid, the children forgot everything else and gathered around, chattering away with questions.

Jiaoyin was very patient, and he answered every single question the children asked, no matter how strange or unusual they were.

Seeing this, Bai Wanwan couldn't help but turn to Jin Yi and ask, "What should we do?"

Yin Ze and Xin Feng approached one after the other, and upon seeing the beautiful mermaid in the courtyard, they both turned to look at Bai Wanwan. "Wanwan, what's going on?"
