Chapter 408 His Scheme
As the next day arrived, Bai Wanwan almost forgot about the day before when she had asked Chief Rong to find other merfolk.

But Chief Rong made a special trip back and took her hand to the backyard.

"What's wrong?" She looked up at him, smiling.

Chief Rong's gaze turned discreetly toward the pool. "I've already had the orcs investigate. There are indeed three other merfolk in the tribe, but... their master's identity is special, so we can't bring him over to show you for the time being."

So that's what it was about...

"It's alright, it's nothing serious. You could have just let me know when you got back. Why did you have to come all the way back?"

Chief Rong heard the faint sound of water coming from the pool, and his eyes darkened.

Holding her wrist, he said, "I just came back to get something, and I just wanted to let you know I'm leaving soon."

Bai Wanwan escorted him to the gate. Qiu Rong then turned back to look at Yin Ze in the courtyard, saying, "Yin Ze, wherever Wanwan goes, you must follow her closely."

"Well, I will."

"Don't worry, the surrounding area is full of orcs you sent, nothing will happen."

After watching the chieftain leave, Bai Wanwan fell into a daze for a while.

When she came to her senses again, she had already left with Yin Ze, Yan Lie, and Luo Qing.

She shook her head, recalling what had just happened. She had been bored at home and wanted to go out for a walk.

Something seemed amiss, but as she pondered it more deeply, she was as if blocked by a barrier, preventing her from thinking further.

"Wanwan, why do you come to the pet street every day? Do you want to raise a pet too?" Yan Lie accused her with a look of grievance.

It's not uncommon for females to keep pet animals in super tribes.

But if this happened to Wanwan, he couldn't accept it.

Are they not enough to satisfy her with so many excellent males?

Why keep pet animals?

"No, I'm just wandering around and looking around..."

Just then, a pet merchant approached and said, "Female, I have many newly arrived pets in my shop. Would you like to choose two?"

"What are you picking and choosing for? Get out of the way."

Yin Ze stood silently to the side, while Yan Lie had already rolled up his sleeves and was trying to throw the pet merchant blocking his way out.

The pet merchant was intimidated by his imposing manner, pursed his lips, and turned to walk into the shop.

He had never seen a male so arrogant in front of a female; it was simply lawless.

He seems to be in favor; he can't afford to offend him.

"and many more……"

Bai Wanwan subconsciously called out to the other person.

Without even thinking, she blurted out, "Go and find out which beastmen have bought the newly arrived merfolk this past month."

The pet dealer immediately waved his hand, "I don't know about this. Go ask somewhere else."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Wanwan's tone rose a notch, "I am the wife of your clan leader. If you want to continue living in the Tiger Clan, you should immediately investigate and find out the truth."

"Are you the clan chief's wife?"

The tiger-tribe beastmen have recently learned that their chieftain has not only found a mate, but also has several tiger cubs.

Could it be that what the female said is true?

"Yes, I need to know about the merfolk within two days."

"Okay, okay..." The pet dealer immediately changed his attitude, smiling ingratiatingly, "Alright, two days, I'll definitely find out for you."

After the pet merchant left, Yan Lie looked at Bai Wanwan and asked, "Wanwan, do you really like merfolk that much? Your family said they'd stay for a few days, and now you're out looking for merfolk?"

Bai Wanwan was momentarily dazed by the accusation from her beastly husband.

What did she just do?
She wanted to reflect on whether her behavior was inappropriate, but the moment that thought crossed her mind, she was immediately interrupted by the merman's voice, "If you like mermen, I can have my people come to see you when you go to the beach, but... I hope you won't keep mermen as pets." "Don't keep them as pets? Then what are you doing coming to my house?"

With nowhere to vent his anger, Yan Lie could only point his gun at him.

"I'll leave."

"You better be."

The merman turned to look at Bai Wanwan, "If the merman race is deprived of the nourishment of seawater, their bodies will slowly dry up, and they will suffer great pain while they are alive."

Bai Wanwan frowned; such a beautiful mermaid was bound to attract covetous eyes.

But if every day is painful, that is indeed cruel.

"Enduring immense pain? Then how come you're still perfectly fine?" Yan Lie stared at him, but couldn't detect a trace of pain on his face.

"Because I haven't been away from the ocean for long, soaking in water can help relieve the discomfort."

As they were talking, the passing orcs suddenly attacked them like madmen.

Yan Lie and Yin Ze reacted quickly and immediately blocked Bai Wanwan behind them.

After the two males worked together to repel several tiger beasts, a painful groan suddenly came from behind.

Bai Wanwan was firmly protected by the merman, while he was ripped open in the chest by a tiger beast's claw, and his clothes were instantly stained with azure blood.

Bai Wanwan quickly reached out to support him, but because he was too tall, she stumbled.

"Luo Qing, how are you?"

The next second, Yin Ze and Yan Lie reached out at the same time and pulled the merman off Bai Wanwan.

The two males fought back against the suddenly enraged tiger beast while protecting Bai Wanwan and the mermaid as they retreated.

The tigers only stopped attacking after they had retreated two streets.

Yan Lie immediately grabbed a passing male orc.

"Go and inform the clan leader that a male has attacked a female in the Beast Pet Street. The attacked female is named Bai Wanwan. Tell the clan leader to investigate this matter thoroughly immediately."

Upon hearing that a male had attacked a female, the orc immediately agreed and turned to inform the chieftain.

Unable to wait until they got home, Bai Wanwan saw that he had lost too much blood, so she took out some wound medicine from her system space and applied it to him.

The bleeding gradually stopped.

Although Yan Lie disliked this merman because he was too handsome and could bewitch the hearts of females.

But since he had saved Wanwan after all, he put aside his likes and dislikes and personally carried the mermaid home, laying her flat on the stone bed.

"He's lost too much blood and is unconscious. Wanwan, should we go and call the witch doctor?"

Yan Lie glanced at the merman, then turned to look at Wanwan beside him.

"No need, his bleeding has stopped. Let's see how he is."

They waited until nightfall, but the mermaid still hadn't woken up.

Upon receiving the news, the chieftain ordered his men to investigate the situation before rushing home.

"I sent an orc to inform you, have you found out who did it?"

The chieftain did not answer Yan Lie, but walked to the stone bed and looked down at the male on the bed.

When Wanwan suddenly mentioned wanting to find other merfolk, he deliberately suppressed the idea.

He wanted to see what this merman was up to.

The reason why the tiger beast went out of control today has not yet been found. If this merman wanted to harm Wanwan, why did he block the attack for her?

In the end, apart from him... Wanwan, Yin Ze, and Yan Lie all returned unharmed.

If all of this was arranged by this merman.

What is his motive?
