Chapter 138 The Young Clan Chief Was Deceived by a Female

Jingxiang was secretly pleased with herself. Anyway, their Qijing tribe had a lot of people, so why should they be afraid of a mere three...

Her expression froze the moment she turned around.

Ni's figure was tall and slender, his sharp outline outlined in the halo of light. His purple hair fell down, a faint fragrance wafted in the air, and his brows were full of spring. But what was most captivating was the dazzling nine-star pattern on his forehead.

Nine-star extreme realm is already the top combat power on the Beastman Continent. Even though the Great Fish Clan is the overlord of the sea, there are few experts at the nine-star extreme realm. They just arrived on land, how could they possibly run into one by the roadside?

Jingxiang thought she had misread it and rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

At this moment, Qinglan, who had been lying quietly on the ground, slowly got up, gently nuzzled Fuying's clothes with her head, and said softly, "Aying, come up, it's time to go."

Jingxiang's pupils contracted, and seven emerald star patterns flashed on the forehead of this snow leopard beastman.

Her lips twitched uncontrollably.

The Qijing tribe brought a lot of precious underwater goods to trade this time, and even specially sent the Seven Star Pattern Warriors of the tribe to accompany them. But they didn't expect that Seven Star Pattern experts could be seen everywhere on land!

There was even a nine-star extreme realm expert!
Jingxiang's eyes darted around, and she was secretly plotting how to back out and not travel with the three of them when she heard the alluring female in front of her say, "Alright, let's set off then."

Jingxiang had a headache. Meanwhile, Fuying, sitting on Qinglan's back, turned her head and saw Jingxiang scratching her head. She smiled and her eyes sparkled with a mischievous glint.

"Could it be that the great fish, the overlords of the sea, are afraid to travel with the three of us?"

The drawn-out final syllable of Fuying was like a small hook, carrying a hint of doubt.

Jingxiang jumped up like a fish whose tail had been stepped on, her long pink hair flying wildly. She put her hands on her hips and said, "How is this possible?! We, the Great Fish Clan, are the overlords of the sea, with formidable strength. Would we be afraid of you?"

She glared at Fuying and said angrily, "Fine, let's go! Who's afraid of who? Let's go!"

The group continued their journey toward the tribal trade fair.

"By the way," Fu Ying said softly, but Qing Lan had already slowed her pace. She turned her head to look at Jing Xiang beside her and asked, "I haven't asked you your name yet? Are all female sea creatures as beautiful as you?"

Jingxiang wasn't a worldly or sophisticated person; a casual compliment made her ears turn slightly red and her eyes dart around. She gave a soft hum and glanced sideways at Fuying: "I, my name is Jingxiang!"

Fu Ying chuckled as she looked at her. The sea people were surprisingly simple-minded.

A breeze swept by, ruffling a few stray hairs at her temples, making her think of Dan Yue.

He was so easily deceived; a few sweet words were enough to lure him ashore.

When Jingxiang saw Fuying suddenly lose her smile and become indifferent, she couldn't help but tilt her head.

"Hey!" she called out, her tone blunt. "What are you thinking about? Why are you getting distracted? I've already told you my name, but you still haven't told me what yours is!"

Fu Ying snapped out of her daze, looked at Jing Xiang, and smiled faintly: "Hua Hua."

"Hua Hua?" Whale Fragrance's eyes revealed a complex emotion, feeling that the name was a bit tacky.

She coughed lightly again, her gaze sweeping over Qinglan and Ni with a hint of curiosity: "Are they both your males?"

Fu Ying's lips curled slightly, her fingertips affectionately brushing against Qinglan's flushed earlobe, her eyes smiling: "Yes, they are all my beloved companions. And you, did you bring your own male this time?"

Mentioning this, Jingxiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned around and led over a male carrying a basket on his back.

Fu Ying raised her eyes and swept them over him, half-closing her eyes. This male was very handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, but his features were not rugged and sharp. Instead, he exuded a gentle temperament that was rare among males.

He stopped beside Jingxiang, his eyes still lingering with tenderness. Jingxiang reached out and took his arm, resting her cheek lightly on his shoulder. Her sharp and fierce demeanor instantly melted into gentle tenderness, and she looked at him with brimming eyes, appearing much more submissive.

Her voice was full of pride: "His name is Xingyao! He's my favorite male! He's a merman!"

Upon hearing the words "merfolk," Qinglan's gray-brown eyes suddenly paused.

He glanced at Xingyao and saw a gentle, flowing aura about her, somewhat similar to Danyue's, a kind of hazy and indifferent temperament like sea mist.

“…Mermaids are quite rare.” Fu Ying withdrew her gaze, her fingertips gently stroking Qinglan’s fur.

Upon hearing this, Jingxiang's eyes crinkled with laughter, and she tightened her grip on Xingyao's arm: "Of course it's rare. Even in our deep-sea tribe, the Merfolk rarely form contracts with outsiders!"

She looked up at Xingyao, her eyes sparkling with joy: "Hehe, I'm so lucky! I've found such a treasure, and Xingyao has fallen for me! It must be a destiny bestowed by the Beast God!"

Fu Ying quietly looked at the perfect couple before her and smiled slightly.

Life is unpredictable.

Both the original owner and Jingxiang formed a pact with the Merfolk, but one cherished it like a treasure while the other discarded it like trash.

Xingyao's eyes flickered slightly, keenly catching Fuying's momentary unusual expression.

He squinted at her and said calmly to Jingxiang, "It's getting late, let's hurry up and leave, so as not to delay the tribal trade fair."

A dark glint flashed in Xingyao's eyes.

Although sea creatures and orcs don't often come ashore, they're not exactly rare.

The female before him possessed such beauty and was accompanied by two powerful beastmen, yet she insisted on traveling with them. This was truly strange, and he didn't believe there wasn't a hidden reason behind it.

"Okay! I'll do whatever you say!" Jingxiang nodded emphatically, reminding the team to speed up.

Fu Ying's eyes narrowed slightly; this Xingyao seemed to have more thought than Jingxiang.

However, now that the Merfolk had been mentioned, how could she miss this opportunity to gather information?

She gracefully raised her eyes to look at Xingyao, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've seen you. I wonder how she's been lately?"

Jingxiang was taken aback, her long pink hair swaying slightly as she looked at Fuying in surprise: "You know Ru?"

Xingyao's aura suddenly froze, and when he looked at Fuying, his eyes flashed with coldness: "So, this is your purpose in approaching us? To try and extract information about you from us? And how did you come to know me?"

Fu Ying lifted her eyelids slightly, a half-smile playing on her lips: "A set?"

Her gaze shifted, and her tone carried a hint of sarcasm: "You and I are old acquaintances. I was just asking a few questions about her recent situation. You don't need to be so wary; it makes it seem like I have ulterior motives."

Walking backwards beside Fuying, he glanced at Xingyao, his purple eyes filled with deathly stillness and coldness.

Jingxiang sensed the chilling killing intent permeating the air and hurriedly stepped forward, standing between the two sides.

She quickly coughed lightly and said urgently, "Um, Huahua, don't be angry."

Jingxiang tugged at Fuying's sleeve and lowered her voice, "It's not Xingyao targeting you, it's the Merfolk... The young patriarch of the Merfolk was deceived by a female years ago, which has caused the entire clan to be very hostile towards outsiders..."

At this point, Jingxiang suddenly fell silent, glancing cautiously at Xingyao, whose expression had suddenly darkened.
