Chapter 137 Are you a sea urchin?

The next day, Fuying was to set off with Ni and Qinglan.

She thought Teng was sulking and wouldn't come to deliver the fruit, but to her surprise, when she opened the door early in the morning, she saw Teng holding wild fruit in his hands. His sharp eyebrows were even covered with morning dew, and she didn't know how long he had been standing there.

Fuying's eyelashes trembled slightly as she stepped forward with a handkerchief and gently wiped away the morning dew that had gathered between his brow bones.

She suddenly felt the coolness seep into her fingertips. A moment later, she looked up at those soft, dark green eyes, a smile playing on her red lips: "Not angry anymore?"

She was curious about what Bai Cang had said to appease his stubborn temper.

Teng shook his head and gently placed the washed wild fruit in Fuying's palm.

His gaze lingered on her alluring features, his Adam's apple bobbing, his voice still carrying the mist of dawn: "I'm not angry, but you need to come back soon."

Fu Ying's eyes rippled slightly, a faint smile bloomed on her lips, and she nodded, saying, "Alright."

Bai Cang also came out to see her off, carrying Tuanzi. The little girl probably knew that her mother was about to leave, because her amber eyes, inherited from her father, were red and her fluffy ears drooped listlessly.

Fu Ying reached out and pinched her soft earlobe; the warm touch softened her heart.

She leaned down to meet her tearful eyes and said softly, "Mother will be back in a couple of days. Tuanzi, you must take good care of the house, listen to your father and Teng father, and don't cause trouble, okay?"

As she spoke, she gently tapped the little girl's reddened nose.

"Mother..." Tuanzi sobbed softly, her silvery tail hooking onto Fuying's wrist. As she cried, her symmetrical little tiger teeth were faintly visible between her pink lips, making her even more childlike and adorable.

Fu Ying reached out and patted her fluffy head, then said to Qing Lan and Ni Dao, "Let's go."

Qinglan nodded slightly, her bones making a series of crisp, cracking sounds as they stretched and deformed in the morning light.

In the blink of an eye, an elegant and agile snow leopard lay down, its belly almost touching the ground. Fuying gracefully straddled the snow leopard's back, with Nichenmo following beside her, and together they sped off towards the direction of the tribal trade fair.

This tribal trade fair was jointly organized by several tribes in the North Mountain. Unlike those small trading venues, along the way, she could even see many orcs traveling and even some tribal caravans!
Judging by the direction they're going, we should be on the same route.

Fuying leaned against Qinglan, eating the roasted beast meat.

She squinted at the winding caravan, each beastman carrying a load of goods on their backs, the contents of which were heavy and unknown. Their heavy steps caused the ground to tremble slightly.

Fu Ying watched with great interest as they held up the tribal totem flag.

"With so many tribal caravans, it seems this tribal trade fair has truly become famous."

She bit into the crispy roasted meat, and the honey juice seeped into her lips and teeth.

Just then, a strange tribe slowly passed by.

Fu Ying's eyes flickered slightly, and she straightened her back a little, refusing to eat the meat in her hand.

This is a very eye-catching tribe, with both handsome men and beautiful women, like a flowing landscape.

Their animal skins were light and flowing, making them appear as if they were dancing as they walked.

The female's breast is covered with beautiful seashells and adorned with ornaments, adding to her mysterious charm.

The male carries a bamboo basket on its back. The wind lifts a corner of the "animal skin" covering it, revealing the shimmering pearls and corals inside. Under the sunlight, they refract a dreamlike halo.

Qinglan's ear tips twitched slightly, and her nostrils flared: "They are sea beastmen."

Fu Ying gave a soft "hmm," and the tribe brought a slightly salty sea breeze with them as they walked, which was quite unique.

She was very familiar with the mermaid gauze they wore; it was a precious fabric that only the mermaid race could weave. Even if the people of this tribe weren't mermaids skilled in weaving and singing, they were still some other race from the deep sea.

Ni merely raised his eyes casually, his purple pupils sweeping over the sea tribe before he withdrew them with little interest, turning instead to look at Fuying: "Are you full?"

Fu Ying raised the corners of her eyes and said softly, "Why don't we travel with them for a while?"

On land, sea creatures are usually hard to find, so when they finally encounter one, they naturally can't let the opportunity slip by.

Dan Yue's whereabouts are still unknown, and the location of the inscription is extremely far away. If it weren't for the fact that the shark's tail is still with her, she would almost think that he has returned to the sea.

The Merfolk hold a highly respected position among the sea creatures, so it's unlikely that they wouldn't be able to find out anything about them.

He frowned slightly, a cold glint flashing in his purple eyes.

His cold gaze swept over the males of the sea tribe. They were bare-chested and adorned with colorful seashell ornaments around their necks. Each of them was extremely handsome, with scale-like markings around their eyes.

Ni Si Ji's purple eyes narrowed slightly, and he silently stepped in, blocking most of Fu Ying's view.

A cold, sinister smile curled at the corner of his lips: "I don't associate with these fishy-smelling shellfish."

Fu Ying was slightly surprised. Before she could speak, a sharp and domineering female voice rang out: "Who told you we are shellfish?!"

A shadow suddenly loomed over her. Fu Ying tilted her head slightly and looked over Ni's shoulder to see a slender female with her hands on her hips and her lips pressed into a sharp arc.

Her long, pink hair was stunningly beautiful, adorned with pearls that were incredibly eye-catching.

When we were observing this sea tribe, she was at the forefront, so she must be the leader of the group. At this moment, her eyebrows were raised, her almond eyes were wide open, and she was radiating arrogance.

Fu Ying stood up, a smile playing on her lips: "You're from the Sea Urchin Clan, aren't you?"

"Sea urchin? What's that?" Jingxiang tilted her head, her pretty face full of confusion.

She was a sea creature and had never heard of "sea urchins" before. After speaking, she raised her neck, straightened her back, and proudly declared, "We are the noble whale tribe of the deep sea, the Great Fish Clan!"

"A big fish?" Fu Ying's eyes flickered slightly, a smile curving her lips. She deliberately dragged out the last syllable, tapping her chin lightly with her fingertip. "Could it be a big fish that can stir up huge waves in the sea?"

The big fish is actually a whale.

However, there is no specific reference here; it could be a blue whale, or a sperm whale, or an orca.

Upon hearing this, Jingxiang's eyes instantly shone brightly.

She immediately raised her chin high, her pink hair billowing like waves, resembling a cluster of anemones swaying with the tide: "I underestimated you. When ordinary land beastmen hear me mention the Great Fish Clan, nine out of ten will scratch their heads!"

A faint smile appeared on Fu Ying's lips as she gently scratched Ni's palm with her fingertips.

She then said to Jingxiang, "Since we've met by chance, why don't we go to the tribal trade fair together?"

A hint of wariness flashed in Jingxiang's eyes, and she took a step back.

The sea people rarely associate with land-dwelling beastmen. Could this person's sudden show of goodwill be because he has his eye on the goods they brought on this trip?
Fu Ying pretended not to notice her wariness, and smiled, her expression becoming even more harmless.

“We are unfamiliar with the sea, and you are unfamiliar with the land, but we are familiar with every route. Moreover, with such beautiful and dazzling sea creatures as your companions, the journey will surely be much smoother.”

Upon hearing her say that, Jingxiang couldn't help but puff out her chest.

Her eyes darted around, and she carefully scanned the three of them, including Fu Ying. Suppressing her smugness, she raised her chin with feigned modesty and said, "Well... alright then."
