Sea World of Beasts: The Sinful Mermaid - She's a Heartthrob

Chapter 115 Being the Boss
Chao Sheng slowly squatted down, meeting the gazes of the little beastmen. Her tone was gentler than before, but still carried an undeniable seriousness: "Tu Yi, Tu Er, Tu San, tell me honestly, did you steal Xiao Du's fish?"

"I..." Tu Yi glanced at Chao Sheng, then guiltily looked away, her face instantly turning bright red, as if her secret had been exposed. She stubbornly protested, "We didn't! We found that fish in the crevice of the rocks, who knew it was this little octopus's?"

Tu Er nodded in agreement, her voice timid: "Yes, we just saw the fish there, and we were really hungry at the time..."

“Mmm,” Tu San echoed, “and then he didn’t say anything, he just started biting us.”

"No, that's not it!" Little Du struggled anxiously in Gu Xian's arms, pointing her intact tentacle at the three little beastmen. "Those were the ones I hid in the crevice of the reef! I saw them this morning, and you took them away this afternoon!"

Chao Sheng lowered her head, pondered for a moment, looked at Xiao Du, and asked softly, "Are you sure that fish is yours? Is it possible that it accidentally fell there?"

Little Du paused for a moment, a hint of confusion flashing in her ruby-like eyes, then she shook her tentacle with certainty: "I don't know... I just put it there to hide, thinking it fell there by itself. But I recognize the seaweed leaf that held the fish; it has my mark on it!"

As he spoke, he held up a tentacle and gestured: "I bit a small hole in the edge of the leaf, and the fish they were taking was wrapped in that leaf!"

Upon hearing this, Tu San's sobs suddenly stopped, and she secretly glanced at her brother. Tu Yi's expression also froze; her lips twitched, but she couldn't utter a rebuttal—when they were taking the fish, they had indeed noticed a strange little notch on the edge of the seaweed leaf, assuming it was just a scratch from the rocks.

Judging from their expressions, Chao Sheng had a general idea of ​​what was going on. She sighed, not pressing for who was right or wrong, but simply squatted down and looked at the three little beastmen: "Have you not eaten for a long time?"

Tu Yi pursed her lips and remained silent, while Tu Er softly hummed in agreement, her voice barely audible: "After we escaped from our tribe, we didn't find much to eat..."

“You can’t just take other people’s things.” Chao Sheng’s voice was soft but carried weight. “Xiao Du’s fish was hard-earned. If you take it, he’ll go hungry.”

Chang Ye listened from the side, a hint of pity flashing across his cold and jade-like face. He suddenly leaned over and handed the half-eaten grilled fish that he had secretly kept to Tu San: "Here, have it. Don't do this again next time."

Then I casually touched his short, curly, light brown hair. My mood improved a little from just losing the grilled fish. He's so cute.

Tu San looked at the grilled fish handed to her, then at Chang Ye, and then at Chao Sheng's gentle gaze. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes again, but this time it wasn't from fear. Instead, her nose tingled, and she whispered, "I understand..."

Tu Yi's shoulders slumped, and he said in a muffled voice, "We didn't mean to... we were just too hungry."

They didn't want it to be like this either.

They hadn't had a proper meal in days, so when they found something to eat, they didn't think much of it.

Hearing this, the little Du in Gu Xian's arms wasn't so angry anymore. His dark eyes darted around, a hint of sympathy flashing across them. He reached out a tentacle and scratched Gu Xian's arm: "Brother, if they're hungry, give them that fish..."

"It's ok."

Anyway, he has an older brother, so he won't go hungry.

Instead, they reminded him of the days before he met his brother, when he often went hungry.

As Chao Sheng watched this scene, the tension in her heart gradually eased, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

She looked at the three little beastmen, her eyes softening with tenderness. "Next time you're hungry, come find me."

"Stop doing those things."

Tu Yi looked up in surprise at the beautiful and gentle female in front of him, and suddenly felt his eyes sting and wanted to cry.

"Yes!" He nodded vigorously. He would try his best to support himself and his brother. If all else failed... he would ask her for help again.

Turning to look at Nagisa Toru, she said, "Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, stop being so fierce."

"Just for some food?" Nagisa Toru raised an eyebrow and snorted. "If you're going to live in the polar seas from now on, you'd better behave."

"You can steal some orcs' things as you please, but you can't steal others' things, understand?"

“However…” He glanced at the three small, thin orcs, his words carrying a hidden meaning, “I don’t think you’ll be able to steal anything from the other orcs like this.” “Then behave yourselves!”

"If you encounter any problems in the future, just come to me, okay?"

In short, once you've contacted him, you're not allowed to bother Sheng Sheng.

"Uh-huh."

The little ones shrank back in fright and kept those words in mind.

Although they didn't have much contact with Bai Ni, it was like a fear etched into their genes; they trembled with fear whenever he spoke.

"I'll go find you something to eat."

Yin Xu's cold and refined face softened; they couldn't be allowed to starve like this.

After saying that, he turned around and went out to hunt for them.

"Thanks."

Tu Yi looked at Yin Xu and said dryly.

"Brother, put me down."

Xiao Du looked at Gu Xian and pleaded, its little tentacles waving restlessly in its hands.

Gu Xian paused for a moment, then glanced at the three little beastmen with a warning look in his red eyes, before speaking gently, "Alright."

As soon as the little octopus landed, it trotted over to the three little beastmen, its tentacles waving incessantly. "This time, I won't hold it against you."

"But since you hit me, you have to apologize to me."

Tu Yi blushed and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry."

"it is good."

"Then I accept it."

The little octopus raised its short, chubby tentacles and nodded smugly.

He then revealed the true purpose of his trip: "If any orcs bully you in the polar seas in the future, as long as you acknowledge me as your leader, I will help you."

"How about it?"

"..." Tu Yi was stunned for a moment. Thinking of how the little octopus was being held down and beaten by them, how could he help them? Should he take the beating with them?
Tu San also remembered the little octopus's surprisingly weak fighting ability, and pouted in disgust, "I don't want to."

Tu Er also used silence to represent his resistance.

"Hey! What do you mean by this?"

Not hearing anything he wanted to hear, the little octopus turned bright red with anger. He glared at the three little beastmen, "I'm trying to help you, and you don't even appreciate it?!"

In his imagination, the three little orcs should have heard this and then happily surrounded him, calling him their boss. But it's completely different from what he imagined.

He held his anger in his throat and complained to his older brother, "Brother, look at them!"
