Chapter 153: Is it the original owner's fault again?

Sitting on Buck's back, Jingxiang glanced back and couldn't help but purse her lips.

She leaned down slightly, pressed her ear fin close to Buck's, and whispered, "This Whale Storm usually ignores all the females in the tribe and doesn't even look at them, but now he's suddenly being very attentive."

Buck slowed down imperceptibly, but didn't reply.

Suddenly, the ocean currents surged violently, and Fuying's figure appeared abruptly beside Jingxiang.

However, she did not approach Buck, much less touch his back. In the Orcish continent, a male's back is a forbidden area belonging only to his mate, and other females are forbidden to touch it. She knew this.

The whale's ear fins trembled slightly, and its pink hair swayed with the water as it tilted its head.

She turned to look at Fuying, somewhat curious: "What's wrong?"

The crimson fishtail of the fuying fish drew an elegant arc in the ocean current, its speed undiminished.

She turned her head to look at Jingxiang and asked, "What grudge does the Giant Shark Tribe have against the Merfolk?"

When Xingyao learned that the message from the Merfolk was sent because of the Giant Shark Tribe, his expression immediately changed. Jingxiang and the others also acted unusually. There must be some long-standing grudge between the Giant Shark Tribe and the Merfolk.

Jingxiang frowned slightly, her voice somewhat cold and hard as she said, "You'll know when we get to the Merfolk territory."

As she said this, her gaze towards Fuying carried a hint of displeasure.

Fu Ying narrowed his eyes, a cold smile curving his lips: "That's not how it works. Since you're going to help, you should let me know the risks beforehand so I can consider things in advance. Are you suggesting we wait until the giant shark tribe's teeth are at our throats before we start to figure things out? Wouldn't that make us look foolish?"

Fuying's eyes flickered, and her tail fin subtly swirled up a stream of water.

She was naturally driven by self-interest. Since she was heading to the Merfolk, she had to get involved in this mess. She needed to know herself and her enemy, and perhaps she could use this opportunity to win the favor of the Merfolk, making it easier to win over Dan Yue later.

Jingxiang was speechless for a moment, her ear fins twitching slightly involuntarily, realizing that what she said made some sense.

She turned to look at Fuying, only to be met by those eyes filled with concern.

After thinking for a moment, Jingxiang finally relented and said, "The Giant Shark Tribe is a bunch of lunatics. They're used to running rampant in the North Mountain Sea. They mess with everyone except our Qijing Tribe!"

As she said this, Jingxiang's voice carried a hint of pent-up coldness.

"You know that the Merfolk are beautiful and renowned. Whether male or female, they are the most admired by the sea beastmen and are considered the top choice for courtship. However, they are xenophobic and rarely form alliances with other races."

“I’ve heard Xingyao mention that the Giant Shark Tribe has been eyeing the Merfolk for a long time. Their people have been trying to form a pact with the Merfolk, but they’ve been rejected many times!”

"However, the fact that the Merfolk sent a message this time, asking their people to return, means that the Giant Shark Tribe is finally going to break off all pretense of civility. The Merfolk are gathering the strength of the entire tribe to resist the Giant Shark Tribe together."

As Jingxiang spoke, her voice gradually lowered, the last syllable carrying an unyielding heaviness.

Although she wasn't a merfolk, she had formed a pact with Xingyao and knew a thing or two about the merfolk.

Fu Ying raised an eyebrow, a hint of suspicion flashing in her beautiful eyes: "The Merfolk are also a dominant force in the ocean, how dare the Giant Shark Tribe be so presumptuous?"

The Merfolk are not just good-looking; their strength is also not to be underestimated.

They are born with the ability to command thousands of fish to fight for them. They are recognized as a highly intelligent race among the deep-sea beastmen. If it weren't for their "small" beast form, they would probably have already ascended to the throne.

Upon hearing this, Jingxiang glanced at Fuying with the corner of her eye, her tone somewhat unpleasant: "The Merfolk were originally very powerful, considered the strongest in the entire Northern Mountain Sea, and other tribes had to avoid their advance..."

“But ever since the young clan leader had his accident, the entire clan has collapsed. Even the clan leader…” Jingxiang’s voice turned somber: “Even the clan leader couldn’t bear the pain and couldn’t survive that cold season.”

"The Merfolk were devastated by the loss of their chief and young chief. Some even went ashore to seek revenge against the oasis tribes, but none of them returned. Over time, the Merfolk declined."

"Now, the Merfolk are no longer as prosperous as they once were."

As Jingxiang spoke, her nails dug into her palms, her voice filled with suppressed anger, "If the Merfolk hadn't suffered this drastic change, those brutes from the Giant Shark Tribe would never have dared to lay a hand on the Merfolk!"

"The Merfolk are beautiful. If the Giant Shark Tribe really succeeds, then the people of Xingyao..."

At this point, Jingxiang's expression grew increasingly gloomy, listless and lacking in spirit.

She knew better than anyone what the Merfolk meant to Xingyao.

He would give his life to protect her, and he would also shed his last drop of blood for his tribe. If the Merfolk were to perish, he would fight with all his might, and would never live alone.

The thought sent a chill down Jingxiang's spine, which was why she had to go with them.

The stars must not be harmed!
If necessary, she would even use the power of the contract to forcibly bring Xingyao back, she couldn't let anything happen to him, even if it meant enduring his wrath, she was willing to do it, she couldn't lose him!
As for the merfolk... the tides are surging, and life is unpredictable; often she can't control so many things.

Fu Ying frowned slightly. So, it was the original owner's fault after all?
If the Merfolk are truly conquered by the Giant Shark Tribe, even if Dan Yue returns to the sea in the future, he will likely never find the tribe that haunts his dreams again. His heart will remain unresolved, and he will suffer new wounds.

Given Dan Yue's kind nature, he would surely blame himself for all the misfortunes that befell the tribe, become self-destructive, and take all the blame upon himself. At that point, he probably really wouldn't be able to survive.

Thinking of this, Fuying frowned even more deeply, and a dark undercurrent surged in his eyes.

She couldn't let Dan Yue's already painful wounds become even more difficult to heal, nor could she let him live a life burdened by the loss of his shattered homeland. The Merfolk must be saved!

Jingxiang turned her head to look at Fuying, and saw that her brows were slightly solemn. She pursed her lips.

She softened her voice: "Don't worry too much. Aren't we all going back? The Merfolk must have summoned their people from all over the world. This force is very strong, and the Giant Shark Tribe certainly won't dare to go too far."

Fu Ying looked up at her, gave a soft reply, and the last syllable of her voice faded into the ocean current.

With a flick of her crimson mermaid tail, she drew a sharp arc and caught up with Xingyao in the blink of an eye.

He led the way, his figure moving so fast it seemed to tear the ocean currents apart; it appeared that nothing could stop him from returning home.

Noticing the turbulent water beside him, he glanced at Fuying.

That look in his eyes was extremely cold.

Xingyao remained silent. Fuying glanced at him indifferently and urged, "Faster."

He paused slightly, still remaining silent, but his speed increased even further, reaching its limit.

The group of five sped past through the undercurrent.

The fierce, behemoth aura emanating from Buck and Whale Storm caused the sea creatures along the way to retreat.

They had traversed countless winding waterways and crossed numerous turbulent whirlpools. Even Fuying felt exhausted when they finally arrived at a tribe radiating countless rays of light.
