Chapter 407 Slowly Sinking
If any orcs were present, they would surely have noticed that Yan Lie's sharp gaze was sweeping around from the stone bench in the distance, but he had overlooked Bai Wanwan's presence.

Jiaoyin gazed at the sleeping female in his arms, his voice as soft as a whisper: "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I just need your help."

Bai Wanwan, fast asleep, was completely unaware of anything, only vaguely feeling faint whispers around her ears. Then, a warm current slowly flowed into her body, as if she were enveloped in a warm spring.

I slept exceptionally well, and when I woke up, my limbs felt languid and weak.

After washing up, Bai Wanwan found that only Xin Feng and Yin Ze were left at home.

Xin Feng was wiping the stone table when he saw her come out and immediately put down the burlap: "Awake? Are you hungry?"

"I'm so hungry." Bai Wanwan smiled faintly, stroking her bulging belly.

As her due date approached, her appetite increased day by day.

"and many more,"

Xin Feng quickly brought over roasted game meat marinated in wild fruit juice, the golden fat still sizzling on the surface of the meat.

Bai Wanwan ate with great relish, and in the blink of an eye, she finished off the entire bowl of meat.

Suddenly, the silvery laughter of the cubs came from the backyard.

She followed the sound, and suddenly, a heavenly singing voice drifted from around the corner.

The melody was distant and ethereal, carrying the mysterious rhythm unique to the deep sea, which made her stop and listen unconsciously.

When she realized it was a mermaid chanting, her heart trembled inexplicably.

"You've come?" The merman's azure eyes looked past the playful cubs, gazing at her with a gentle smile.

"What song is this? It's very beautiful."

"This is a tune from my hometown, do you like it?"

His voice rose slightly at the end, and his scales shimmered with a pearly luster in the sunlight.

The cubs were already sitting around the pool, their furry paws tugging at the hem of her skirt.

"Yes, I like it."

Upon hearing this, the merman smiled and said, "Then I'll sing it for you again."

When he opened his lips again, even the wind seemed to stand still.

The melody seemed to have a cleansing power, making her feel only joy and comfort.

When the song ended, Bai Wanwan unconsciously clapped.

The cubs immediately learned to pat themselves with their paw pads, and their adorable appearance made the merman chuckle.

Bai Wanwan kept looking at him, and when she saw the smile on his lips, her heart fluttered again.

She frowned and pressed her hand to her chest. Why was her heart so restless today?

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" The mermaid swam closer, its tail parting the surface of the water.

"It's alright, I'll go for a walk." Just as she was about to get up, the cubs clung to her.

"Mother……"

The lion cub, being the youngest and most daring of them all, said, "Mommy, the merfolk said a new fire-breathing lizard beast has arrived in Pet Street, and I want to go see it..."

"A fire-breathing lizard beast?"

The babies nodded in unison, their little heads and big eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Not wanting to be a spoilsport, Bai Wanwan nodded in agreement, "Alright, let's go take a look. Go and call your father beasts, let's set off!"

The babies turned and ran off happily.

"Can we travel together?" The merman's request made her turn around.

His long, silvery-white hair fell over his shoulders, and he seemed somewhat forlorn.

“I can hide my fish tail and cover my face.”

Reason told her she should refuse, but when she met those blue eyes filled with a sea of ​​stars, her tongue took it upon itself to utter, "Okay."

When Xin Feng brought over the linen cloak, a hint of doubt flashed across his gentle brows: "Are you really going to take him out?" "Yes," Bai Wanwan answered subconsciously.

Xin Feng's gaze swept over the merman. "My female has agreed to take you out. Don't cause trouble. If you do, you won't need to come back with us."

After saying that, he handed over the clothes he was holding.

The merman reached out and took it. "Thank you, I won't cause trouble."

After saying that, he turned around and went to change his clothes.

"Yin Ze," Bai Wanwan suddenly asked, her curiosity piqued, "Yin Ze, what other races live in the deep sea? Are merfolk very powerful?"

“Just like the land, the deep sea is home to many marine beastmen. The merfolk are not particularly strong overall, but their royal family is extremely powerful. Therefore, no one in the deep sea dares to easily provoke ordinary merfolk,” Yin Ze said slowly.

"Royalty? How powerful are they?"

"In the ocean, royal merfolk can kill high-ranking males even if they are overpowered. Even if they are weakened on land, they will not be weaker than land beastmen of the same rank, but this only applies to the royal lineage."

Her curiosity was piqued, and she couldn't help but ask, "What's the difference between royalty and ordinary merfolk? How can you tell them apart?"

Yin Ze shook his head. "The Merfolk royal family is very mysterious. No one has ever seen them on the continent. Even ordinary beastmen are extremely rare."

After a pause, Yin Ze continued, "I only know that all mermaids are beautiful, and royal mermaids are even more beautiful. Also... I heard that royal mermaids all have the surname Jiao."

Jiaoyin had just stepped out when she heard Yin Ze's last words.

His steps unconsciously slowed. "What were you talking about?"

"I just heard from my beast husband that your Merfolk clan rarely comes to the mainland, especially the royal family, who almost never appear on this continent."

“Yes, if it weren’t for the orcs capturing us, my people and I wouldn’t have come here. As for the royal family… they really can’t set foot on this continent at will.”

"why?"

“I am not royalty. All I know is that royalty cannot leave the ocean at will.”

Bai Wanwan accepted his explanation and looked at him, "So, what's your name?"

"My name is Luo Qing."

When the group arrived at Pet Street, the merman lagged behind slowly.

"Mom, look, there really is a fire-breathing pet."

The babies were very excited, looking left and right, wishing they had more eyes.

While Xin Feng stepped forward to restrain the cubs, the merman came to Bai Wanwan's side.

"I wonder how many merfolk there are in the entire Tiger Clan?"

Bai Wanwan turned her head in surprise. "Are you asking me? To be honest, before I saw you, I didn't even know that there were merfolk in this place."

His eyes flickered. "That's a real pity. If the Tiger Clan had more merfolk, it would have brought you unexpected surprises."

Yin Ze was right next to Bai Wanwan. Upon hearing this, he turned to look at him.

The merman seemed oblivious to Yin Ze's gaze, only murmuring softly, "Female, do you want to see?"

Want to see it?
Bai Wanwan's curiosity seemed to be amplified infinitely.

She wants to see it!
By the time she came to her senses, she had already sent the orcs to inform the chieftain.

She shook her head. She was genuinely curious, and she remembered the process of doing it very clearly.

But I always had a vague feeling that something was not quite right.

It wasn't until nightfall that the chieftain returned and brought her the message, "You want to find other merfolk?"

Bai Wanwan nodded; she had indeed started this whole thing.

"Yes, I sent the orc to find you. Are there any other merfolk in the tribe?"

"I've already sent people to search, and we should have news tomorrow."

With his ears perked up, Jiaoyin slowly sank his body into the water...
