Chapter 51 The kids don't want to be separated
"Haven't you found the little princess yet?" A blue-purple mermaid prince with a long fish tail suddenly turned around.

He had a delicate yet stunningly beautiful face, and was very young, as if he had just come of age.

His long, bluish-purple hair fluttered like seaweed in the sea, and his pale purple eyes were filled with deep sorrow.

He gave the group of fish a sharp look.

The little mermaids in the sea all lowered their heads.

“Your Highness Prince Lanxing, the little princess is playing around. Perhaps she’s sleeping in some clam shell?” said a little mermaid.

Another little mermaid shook her head and said, "You can't say that. A bird-beast tribe has recently arrived on the eastern coastline, and many wandering beastmen have gathered there recently. The coastline is no longer safe."

"As long as the little princess doesn't go to sea, everything will be fine. But if she does go to sea, it would be bad if she were captured by bird-beastmen and wandering beastmen."

As soon as the mermaid finished speaking, the innocent mermaids spontaneously began to imagine the scene of the little mermaid princess Xiao Fu being captured and harmed by the wandering beastmen.

Then I suddenly remembered the scene of the little mermaid princess Xiao Fu being captured by that group of bird-beastmen, her claws piercing her fish tail.

That adorable little princess was hurt by bad people...

The mermaids, with their particularly tender hearts, couldn't help but start wiping away tears.

Pearls are falling everywhere.

Lanxing frowned at the sight of these pearls.

"She's only five years old, she can't have gone far." Lan Xing waved her hand and said, "All mermaids, let's search together!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

On the shore, Nan Zhisui finally managed to calm the little mermaid down and stop her crying.

The little fox, having abandoned the little mermaid, took her and held her in his arms to play.

Not long after, Fox White emerged from the forest on the beach, carrying a long-eared beast he had just caught.

"Father Beast!" Fox Abandon's eyes lit up, and he rushed over with the little mermaid in his arms.

Nan Zhisui ran over with the wolf cub and the snake stalk. Nan Zhisui paused slightly, then met Hu Bai's gaze and pounced on him, giving him a big hug.

"Is everything alright?" Fox White asked.

"It's nothing," Fox Abandoned said.

Nan Zhisui also shook her head, "It's all fine."

Speaking of what had just happened, Hu Qi was still very excited, and he recounted the whole story with great enthusiasm.

"Father, the little fish is so amazing, and it was so exciting! I want to do it again!"

Fox White rubbed his head.

After checking everyone over and making sure they were all alright, Fox White said, "We hunted a big wild beast before, but unfortunately we had to throw it away. This long-eared beast was caught on the way down the mountain."

Nan Zhisui and the little ones looked down at the long-eared beast. The long-eared beast, seeing so many beastmen, squeaked in fright.

“Bunny rabbits are great. They’re so cute, they should be eaten,” Nan Zhisui said. “Besides, I really like eating rabbit legs!”

Fox White couldn't help but laugh and said, "Alright, you can have the long-eared beast's leg."

Fox White took the long-eared beast aside and dealt with it, carefully peeling off its fur.

Long-eared beasts have soft fur, and many females like to use their fur to make clothes.

He also wanted to make one for Nan Zhisui.

Fox Abandoned and Snake Ripple gathered firewood nearby, and Nan Zhisui would praise them with a smile after they had collected the dry wood.

The two little ones will be even happier collecting firewood.

They fetched water from the river and boiled it to drink.

Then Nan Zhisui skewered the long-eared beast that Hu Bai had prepared and roasted it over the fire.

Nan Zhisui sprinkled some fragrant powder on the grill while roasting, making the long-eared beast even more fragrant.

“Wow, it smells so good!”

Fox White went to the beach and picked up some sea fish. The little mermaid opened its arms to Fox White. "Pretty Uncle, eat!"

"Yes, here's some food for you."

Fox White put the sea fish into her bucket, and the little mermaid darted into the bucket and quickly ate the sea fish.

Hmm, fish from the sea still tastes better.

After Nan Zhisui finished roasting the rabbit meat, Hu Bai, Hu Qi, She Yang, and Nan Zhisui ate the rabbit meat together around the fire.

The rabbit meat smelled delicious, but it tasted somewhat bitter.

Fox Abandoned and Snake Ripples were in low spirits.

"The little mermaid doesn't want to go back to the sea?" Fox White looked back at the little mermaid with some surprise.

Nan Zhisui nodded: "Yes. She doesn't want to go back, what can we do?"

Fox Abandoned immediately spoke up: "Father, Mother, I love my little sister so much. Can't we really keep her?"

"Hiss..." Snake Yang also showed reluctance.

Nan Zhisui shook her head and said, "She is a mermaid, she belongs to the sea, we are land beastmen, we can't live together forever."

“And look…” Nan Zhisui looked at the little mermaid with the two children, “She likes to eat fish from the sea. The meat of our land animals is not suitable for her.”

Hu Qi pursed his lips, as if he was about to cry.

"Reluctant to part with it?" Fox White asked, looking down.

Fox Abandoned nodded slightly.

The little sister is capable, well-behaved, and cute.

Of course he liked it.

Of course he couldn't bear to part with it.

"Hiss..." Snake Yang also lowered its little snake head.

Do I really have to separate from the little mermaid?
Little Snake Yang is also very reluctant to part with it.

Fox White advised, "She is a mermaid, and we are land beastmen. There will be a day when we are separated."

“Father, I understand the reasoning.” Fox Abandoned looked at the little mermaid with difficulty, “but I still feel quite sad.”

Fox White rubbed Fox Abandon's head.

Nan Zhisui sighed and took a step back, saying, "How about this, we'll stay on the shore for a few more days to keep the little mermaid company. After a few days, we'll send her back to the sea so she can find her father and mother."

Fox Abandoned's half-drooping ears instantly stood up.

She Yang excitedly raised her head as well.

"Okay!" "Hiss!"

For the little one, every day of separation is better than nothing. Today we don't have to part ways, which is great.

Since they couldn't spend the night on the beach, Nan Zhisui and Hu Bai searched for a suitable place to stay in the woods near the beach.

Fox White looked up and saw birds, beastmen, and humans flying across the sky, and frowned.

Back when he came to the coast with the tribe's hunting party to trade salt with the mermaids, there weren't so many bird-beast people.

Why do it seem like there are so many more bird-beast people now?
Nan Zhisui found a flat spot, and after Hu Bai inspected it, he nodded to Nan Zhisui.

Nan Zhisui set up the tent on this flat ground.

The little ones helped her out, and Nan Zhisui said as she stuck the tent pegs in the ground, "This is a tent. We can sleep together in the tent at night."

Fox Abandoned himself, crawling inside and then crawling out again. He exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, Mother, this thing is like a cave!"

Nan Zhisui laughed and said, "Yes, but it's not as sturdy as a cave."

While the cubs were playing nearby, Fox White whispered to Nan Zhisui, "Mistress, this area might not be so safe. We need to be careful."
