After transmigrating through countless worlds, the Beast Tamer Cub plucked all the Heavenly Dao bein

Is this it?

Number One pushed over a small, round bubble ball. Inside, there was a fluffy white thing—who else could it be but Bai Gao?

"Don't push her! Gao Gao is going to faint!"

The white cake was pushed around and around inside the small round ball by Number One.

"What is this?"

Ning Bao swam over, looking left and right.

"It's an air balloon, which allows Gao Gao to live underwater. Pretty amazing, right?"

Bai Gao struggled to sit up, patted her dizzy head with her little paws, and answered.

"By the way, Ningbao, how much do you know about this world?"

Mumu pulled Xiaoningbao, who was still wandering around, back to where she was:

"Don't look at the fish yet, there'll be plenty of time while we're doing the quest. You still need to provide some background information, right?"

She realized that Ningbao was already captivated by the colorful underwater world, and she had a feeling that this mission wouldn't go very smoothly.

"Okay~"

Ningbao readily agreed and clipped it onto Mumu's pendant, successfully turning it into a small seashell pendant.

Hehe, that way she can stay with Mumu forever.

Ningbao recounted what had happened as she drifted freely with the current. However, because she was still attached to Mumu's pendant, a rope connected her to Mumu, preventing her from drifting very far.

Mu Mu listened quietly, feeling that Ning Bao had dug a huge hole for herself:

"You said the person you're going to help is this year's Mermaid Queen, right? But she's the Queen. What if one of the conditions for her happiness is the happiness of the entire mermaid race?"

Many monarchs aspire to be wise rulers, even if their actions aren't what wise rulers should do; the desire remains. So, is it reasonable for the Mermaid Queen to want her entire race to be happy and content?

Ningbao, who had just been drifting with the current, was suddenly stunned:

"Is...that's how it is?"

She swam to Mumu's shoulder, poked her soft flesh out from her shell, and pressed it against Mumu's face:

"Mumu~"

"Alright, don't be so guilty yet. I only mentioned one possibility; it might be simpler?"

"but…"

Mumu frowned slightly. She looked up and saw that they were in the deep sea, where the surface of the water was nowhere to be seen.

"I wonder how Sister Lanlu plans to give you her background information."

Speak of the devil, and he appears! A tiny blue water droplet-shaped fish suddenly appeared inside the small air bubble of the white cake. Just as the kitten stretched out its paw, the fish nimbly darted into its body.

"The background information seems to have arrived."

White Cake used its paws to push its little bubbles and roll them towards Mumu:

"Over 95 percent of this world is covered by water, and the sea is teeming with all sorts of creatures, which have developed their own ecosystem. For a long time, the merfolk have been the absolute rulers of this world."

"And then they got into trouble, right?"

Ning Bao replied with an air of seriousness. She had already figured out the routine; if there weren't any unexpected twists, there would be no need for Ning Bao to come here at all.

"That's right."

Bai Gao nodded:

"Although there is relatively little land, there are still some large islands where many creatures can live. Then, a creature that feeds specifically on mermaids appeared, called a 'mai'."

However, the number buried is very small, while the mermaid population is large. The number of mermaids buried and eaten each year is less than the number who die in accidents. Furthermore, the mermaid race is one that reveres strength, so those buried and eaten are mostly the weaker ones. Therefore, it has not attracted the attention of the royal family for hundreds of years.

After a very long time, the Burial Clan came up with a good idea. They wrote many, many love stories, threw them into the sea with waterproof material, and deliberately tried to lure some young mermaids to read them.

The picture book is full of love and romance, and...

As Bai Gao spoke, he pulled out several sheets of paper from somewhere. Mu Mu only needed one glance to understand; the person who came up with these methods was truly a genius. The papers were full of ways to induce mermaids to become love-struck, and it was estimated that many psychology experts from the Bai clan had participated; they were very professional.

Ningbao peeked in to look, but Mumu pressed her back down with one hand. It's better for Ningbao to stay away from this kind of thing that so effectively uses psychology to manipulate people into being love-struck. The child is still young, her values ​​aren't fully formed yet; what if she gets misled?

Bai Gao was still dutifully introducing the background information:

"At that time, the mermaid society had reached its peak, and various entertainment projects were developing rapidly. The mermaids were open to all kinds of information and could play with anything. So this wave of cultural brainwashing was very successful."

Mumu nodded. "Entertainment to the death? There's so much information, and we don't even bother to distinguish between good and bad. We just play around and play ourselves to death."

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"At that time, a wave of true love swept through society. Any hesitation, any retreat, was considered a betrayal of true love. Moreover, under the deliberate influence of public opinion, young mermaids actually thought that a mermaid falling in love with someone like mermaid was an incredibly romantic thing. See, for love, they even transcended racial prejudice!"

"But doesn't the Buried One feed on mermaids?"

Although Ningbao only half-understood the previous parts, she understood this sentence. She didn't know what dating was, but Ningbao imagined what it would be like if pudding, chocolate cookies, egg tarts, juice… all rushed towards her. What would Ningbao do then…?

Slurp, so delicious!

"Aren't the higher-ups at the mermaid level going to do anything about it?"

Mumu thought that if even Xiao Ningbao could figure it out, surely the mermaids couldn't understand it either.

"Back then? Who cared? They thought they were the most powerful species, that everything was under their control. After all, they could only eat weak mermaids buried in the past few hundred years."

Bai Gao scratched his head and carefully flipped through the documents again:

"Oh, it seems there was a mermaid who wanted to intervene. But public opinion was outraged, saying it was hindering their search for true love, so he was ousted from office, and no one has intervened since."

Mumu: ...

If you're going to do something stupid, no one can stop you.

"and then?"

"Then... let Gao Gao look for it... oh, found it. In order to live with their beloved Mai, some mermaids chose to sacrifice themselves for love, willingly bearing the curse, abandoning their fish tails, and turning their lower bodies into claws like Mai."

Mumu had already seen the portrait of the buried creature. It looked a bit like a cat and a bit like a wolf, except its hind legs were stronger, allowing it to walk upright or run on all fours. Its claws were sharp, and its teeth were razor-sharp; it could easily disembowel a mermaid.

Their fur is waterproof, and they can swim, but they can't dive. In the water, they are definitely not as good as mermaids with gills and tails.
