Chapter 511 Unable to muster any strength

She couldn't bring herself to say something against her will, and sighed softly: "Jiaoyin... he's so good, so outstanding, who wouldn't like him? But Jiaoyue, liking someone doesn't mean everything. As a female... you can't be too greedy."

She already has so many men who love her deeply; she cannot and should not ask for more.

However, Jiaoyue only heard the first half of the sentence and immediately beamed with joy, as if she had received some most important promise.

"It's good that you like my brother! Just a little bit of liking is enough. As for the rest... we can talk about it later! Sister Wanwan, let's go see the coral!"

Her mood instantly improved, and she pulled Bai Wanwan along to continue forward.

Bai Wanwan was both amused and exasperated by her rapid change of expression, and had no choice but to let her pull her away.

Unexpectedly, they hadn't swum a short distance when Jiaoyue's expression suddenly changed. She released her hand, clutched her stomach, bent over, and let out a painful groan: "Ouch..."

"Jiaoyue! What's wrong?" Bai Wanwan immediately supported her anxiously.

"No...it's nothing..." Jiaoyue waved her hand, but her face was a little pale. "It's probably just...something bad I ate. My stomach suddenly hurts so much..."

Bai Wanwan immediately became worried: "Why did your stomach suddenly hurt? Is it serious? Why don't we skip seeing the coral and go back to have the clan shaman take a look at you? I'll come play with you again once you've recovered."

Jiaoyue's eyes darted around discreetly, and she went along with it, her face still bearing a pained expression: "Okay... alright... then let's go back first today, another day... another day, Sister Wanwan, you must come with me again..." Her voice sounded somewhat weak.

Throughout the journey, Jiaoyue leaned listlessly against Bai Wanwan, occasionally clutching her stomach and groaning, looking quite uncomfortable.

Bai Wanwan, unsuspecting, carefully helped her and escorted her back to her room.

"Sister Wanwan, don't worry about me, I'll be fine after lying down for a while."

Bai Wanwan sat on the edge of the bed with concern and patted her head. "I'll go call the clan shaman. You lie down and rest for a bit."

Jiaoyue took her hand. "I'm not in much pain now, I'm just sleepy. I'm going to take a nap. Sister Wanwan, you should go back and rest too."

After saying that, she turned over and went to sleep.

Seeing that her complexion was rosy and her temperature was normal, Bai Wanwan tucked her in and got up to leave.

Back to the magnificent palace where we were temporarily staying.

As soon as I entered, I saw that only Yan Lie was in the room, playing with a few little kids.

"Wanwan, where did you go? You disappeared in the blink of an eye, you scared me."

When Yan Lie saw her return, he immediately went to greet her, his eyes filled with lingering fear and worry.

Ever since Bai Wanwan was kidnapped, they've all been on edge.

Bai Wanwan explained, "Jiaoyue came to see me just now, and I accompanied her to see the coral reefs. Unexpectedly, she suddenly had a stomachache after walking only a short distance, so I took her back."

Yan Lie breathed a sigh of relief and walked over to naturally put his arm around her waist: "Next time you go out, be sure to tell me, or let me go with you. I'm really afraid you'll disappear again in the blink of an eye."

"It's alright," Bai Wanwan patted the back of his hand to comfort him. "We're in Jiaoyin's palace, guarded inside and out by merfolk. And after what happened last time, the patrols are even more thorough, so there won't be any danger."

She glanced around the room. "By the way, where are Zhu Xiu and the others?"

Yan Lie replied, "Zhu Xiu and Jin Yi were worried, so they went ashore to check on Roger's whereabouts, fearing that the guy might still be up to no good. Xin Feng and Yin Ze also went ashore, saying that the meat of wild animals on land is better, so they went to hunt some fresh prey for you to improve your meals."

Although sea fish is delicious, eating too much of it makes you crave the taste of land. "Hua Han seems to have gone out just now, so it's just me and the kids here."

Just then, Hua Han walked in from outside.

When he saw Bai Wanwan, his captivating fox-like eyes immediately lit up. He took a few steps forward and affectionately embraced her from the other side, his voice carrying a hint of coquetry: "Wanwan, so you're back. Today... let me keep you company, okay?"

His fingertips lightly traced her waist, a gesture full of suggestive meaning.

Bai Wanwan immediately remembered what had happened before.

The situation was complicated in the Jiaolong tribe, and they continued to travel. Although they got close to Hua Han, they had not yet completed the mating ceremony.

He was also her rightful husband, and she couldn't continue to favor one over the other.

She nodded as calmly as possible: "Okay, you'll stay with me today."

Upon hearing this, Yan Lie's eyes instantly turned fiery, and he leaned over to nuzzle her neck: "Wanwan, I also..." He also longed to be close to his partner.

Bai Wanwan felt his hot breath and understood.

She turned to look at Yan Lie, her tone gentle yet reassuring: "Yan Lie, could you help take care of the babies today? Another day... another day I'll definitely spend more time with you."

She can't agree to two people at the same time.

Looking at Hua Han's expectant eyes, and remembering that he hadn't yet formed a bond with Wanwan, Yan Lie felt resentful, like a big dog whose beloved bone had been stolen. But in the end, he pouted and muttered, "...Okay."

Then, resignedly, he turned to look after the little cubs who had started pouncing and playing with each other, though his ears were still perked up, and he would occasionally steal a glance in their direction.

After Yan Lie carried the cubs to the side hall, Hua Han pulled Bai Wanwan to sit down on the soft silk carpet. She then produced an exquisite conch shell container from somewhere, filled with amber-colored liquid that emitted a rich and mellow aroma of wine. It was the monkey wine that the beastmen loved.

Hua Han first tilted her head back and drank a cup, then handed another cup to Bai Wanwan's lips, looking at her with bright eyes: "Wanwan, you should have a cup too. This is brewed with special fruits from the seabed, it tastes very good."

The familiar and enticing aroma of fruit wine fills the air; the wines here, like fruit beer, have very low alcohol content.

It was sweet and refreshing, and not intoxicating, so I didn't refuse and drank a glass from his hand.

The sweet and mellow liquor glides down the throat, bringing a refreshing sensation.

Seeing her drink it, Hua Han's smile deepened, and he immediately poured her another cup: "Wanwan, another cup."

Bai Wanwan looked at him with amusement: "You asked me to keep you company today just to drink with you?"

Her cheeks were starting to feel slightly warm.

Hua Han chuckled, a perfectly balanced blush and nervousness appearing on his handsome face. His fox-like eyes blinked as he said, "I... I'm a little nervous, so I thought I'd drink some monkey wine to bolster my courage." He softened his voice, adding a touch of coquetry, which, combined with his exceptionally handsome face, made him irresistible.

Bai Wanwan was amused by his appearance. Thinking that the wine wasn't intoxicating anyway, she went along with him and drank several more cups.

However, she underestimated the power of this underwater brew. Perhaps it was due to the different environment, or perhaps the brew that Hua Han had taken was particularly mellow.

Before long, she began to feel dizzy, her vision became blurry, and her body felt weak and powerless...
