Chapter 521 What Wanwan said herself?

Bai Wanwan nodded without hesitation: "Yes, right now."

She missed her cubs and the chieftain. As for Hua Han, she couldn't find her here, and she had no other choice but to let the tracking bird find her first.

"Alright." After receiving a positive response, Zhu Xiu nodded. "Then let's set off."

The group quickly packed their simple belongings.

Under the silent and tight protection of several powerful beastmen, they quietly left the magnificent side hall where they were temporarily residing and headed out of the Merfolk Palace along the crystal corridor.

As for Jiaoyin... she had already bid her farewell a few days ago, and she didn't want to disturb Jiaoyin who was busy dealing with the threat from the crocodile tribe.

Outside the corridor, colorful, glowing corals sway gracefully, and schools of brightly colored fish dart and play.

Just as they were about to leave the palace grounds, on a side path, Jiaoyue happened to walk by with a familiar female merman, chatting and laughing.

Jiaoyue spotted Bai Wanwan and her group with their cubs at a glance, clearly on their way to a long journey, and the smile on her face instantly froze.

She quickly whispered a few words to the female beside her, then hurriedly ran over alone, her face filled with surprise and reluctance.

"Sister Wanwan! Where...where are you going?"

She stopped panting in front of Bai Wanwan, her azure eyes filled with urgency and confusion.

Standing next to Bai Wanwan, Shuanghua had a good impression of this lively and straightforward mermaid girl, so she smiled and answered on her behalf, "Little Jiaoyue, we have been bothering you for a long time, it is time for us to go back. Thank you for your warm hospitality during this time."

"You're welcome, Aunt Shuang. You can stay a little longer."

"No need..." Shuanghua said with a smile.

Jiaoyue turned her gaze to Bai Wanwan's face, her tone carrying a barely perceptible urgency, "Sister Wanwan, you...you're leaving? Does my brother...does he know? Why didn't he come to see you off?"

She subconsciously felt that if her brother knew, he would definitely come.

Bai Wanwan sighed softly as she looked at her anxious expression.

She softened her voice and explained, "He doesn't know we're leaving today. But I already said goodbye to him formally two days ago."

Her tone was as calm as if she were recounting something insignificant.

She reached out and grabbed Bai Wanwan's wrist tightly, as if that would keep her there.

Her eyes reddened almost instantly, and her voice choked with emotion. The guilt she felt over the drugging incident, combined with the sorrow of parting, welled up inside her.
"Sister Wanwan...you, why are you leaving already? You haven't even decided how to punish me yet...you said you'd punish me next time, how can you go back on your word?"

She expressed her deepest reluctance and desire to stay in a way that was almost like pouting and whining.

Bai Wanwan smiled at her expression and gently flicked her forehead with her finger: "Next time you want to do something 'good,' remember to discuss it with me in advance! As for how to punish you... I'll tell you when I come to see you next time I've thought it through."

Jiaoyue's previously dim eyes instantly lit up: "Sister Wanwan! Are you serious? Will you come again?"

Her tone was full of surprise and anticipation.

Bai Wanwan deliberately put on a stern face and teased her, "Hmm...we'll see how it goes, see if I'm busy or not."

The light in Jiaoyue's eyes dimmed at a visible speed, and her face fell.

She tugged at Bai Wanwan's sleeve and said urgently, "Sister Wanwan, please wait a little longer! I've already sent someone to call my older brother, he'll be here soon!"

She gently shook her head: "No need, Bright Moon. Your elder brother is the king of a clan and is very busy, and... we have already said goodbye." She tried to make her tone sound lighter.

However, before she could finish speaking, a rapid sound of water breaking came from afar.

They saw Jiaoyin rushing towards them at top speed...

As they drew closer, those icy blue eyes gazed intently at Bai Wanwan, their depths overflowing with an unyielding longing and reluctance to part.

Behind him were several merman guards, each holding a large, lustrous seashell containing treasures that were extremely rare even in the deep sea.

There is shimmering, water-resistant silk, huge, round, and lustrous pearls, as well as some uniquely shaped underwater plants and minerals that emit a soft glow.

“Wanwan,” Jiaoyin’s voice was slightly hoarse. His gaze swept over the gifts and finally settled on Bai Wanwan’s face, filled with cautious nervousness. “These… please accept them. The sea is not like the land. Perhaps… perhaps you and your children can use these things.”

These were treasures he had carefully collected over the years, originally intended to be given to his future wife. Now, even if they could not become a couple, he only wanted to give them all to Bai Wanwan.

He was afraid that she was still angry about what had happened before and would reject his feelings.

Looking at the lavish gifts that would amaze any female, Bai Wanwan naturally understood their value and the sentiment behind them.

She looked up and met Jiao's eyes, which held a hint of worry. Her heart softened, and the heavy feeling caused by the parting seemed to be illuminated by a ray of light.

She didn't refuse, but simply nodded and said to Yan Lie beside her, "Yan Lie, put it away."

Yan Lie stepped forward deftly and took the precious seashells one by one.

Seeing Bai Wanwan accept the gift so readily, Jiaoyin's tense nerves finally relaxed slightly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up, revealing a relieved smile.

"We're leaving..." Bai Wanwan said softly, glancing at Jiaoyin one last time.

Jiaoyin couldn't stop her, and only softly replied, "Take care of yourself."

Yan Lie noticed that Wanwan's attitude had softened, so he raised his hand and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, we will take good care of Wanwan."

"Okay, then it's up to you."

Bai Wanwan had already turned and walked forward, with Xin Feng and Yan Lie lagging behind.

"Take good care of your people. We'll come again with Wanwan when we have time."

A bitter smile appeared on Jiaoyin's lips, a slight curve... Would she come again?

Regardless, he was grateful for the man's thoughtfulness.

"Thank you."

Xin Feng didn't say anything more. He glanced at his wife, who had already walked away, then nodded to Jiao Yin and turned to chase after her.

Jiaoyin stood there, gazing at the direction Bai Wanwan had gone for a long time, until that figure completely disappeared.

Seeing her older brother's distraught appearance, Jiaoyue comforted him with heartache, "Big brother, don't be too sad. Sister Wanwan said herself that she would come back."

She secretly concealed Bai Wanwan's words, "We'll see," wanting only to give her brother some hope.

Jiaoyin was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and the light in her icy blue eyes rekindled. The disappointment and reluctance between her brows were dispelled by great joy: "Wanwan told you herself?"
