Chapter 165 Are you still in pain?

Xingyao turned to the side and gently pulled Jingxiang in front of him, a proud look on his face, yet also a little embarrassed, his voice unconsciously lowering a few decibels: "This is my partner, Jingxiang, a member of the Qijing tribe."

After saying that, he glanced at Dan Yue again, seemingly afraid that he would be angry, and quickly added, "She...she met Fu Ying at the tribal trade fair, so they are friends."

Jingxiang tilted her head slightly, curiously examining Danyue.

This was the first time she had met the young chieftain of the Merfolk.

The Qijing tribe and the Jiao tribe didn't have much interaction in the past, but they always heard a lot about this famous young chieftain of the Jiao tribe. He was the male that the females in the tribe talked about the most.

Unfortunately, he ultimately chose a land-dwelling female.

When the news broke that the Moonlit Star Pattern had shattered, countless female tribes in the deep sea sighed in despair.

Despite being thin, he was breathtakingly handsome.

Jingxiang recalled the nine-star patterned beastman and the snow leopard beastman at the tribal trade fair, and couldn't help but blink. She had to admit that her land-based friend's companions were all incredibly good-looking.

"Young Clan Leader." Jing Xiangchao nodded slightly to Dan Yue.

After exchanging greetings, her gaze eagerly swept over the other person's shoulder and landed on the pale-faced Fuying. She immediately forgot about Danyue and ran straight into the wooden house.

As soon as Jingxiang stepped inside, a strong smell of blood hit her.

Her eyes darted frantically over the blood-stained silk, and she paced anxiously, turning left and right, asking in circles, "What happened? Why hasn't the cub come out yet? What kind of cub is it that's causing you so much suffering!"

Fu Ying looked somewhat weak. Seeing Jing Xiang's anxious expression, she couldn't help but chuckle, "Alright, stop looking. She's already given birth."

"She's already given birth??" Jingxiang's eyes widened suddenly, and she immediately leaned closer, looking around.

"Where's the cub? Let me see!" She rubbed her hands excitedly, her eyes sparkling. "What kind of cub is it? Is it a fluffy little snow leopard?"

Fu Ying stood up, looked at the mottled bloodstains on her body, snapped her fingers, and in an instant, the bloodstains on her body disappeared like morning dew, and even the bloody smell in the room was replaced by the crisp sea breeze.

Jingxiang stared in disbelief at the scene. Before she could even marvel, she saw Fuying's lips curl into a smile: "There's nothing more to do here. Aren't you going back to the Qijing tribe?"

"You're kicking me out? I was so worried about you!" Upon hearing this, Jingxiang immediately puffed out her cheeks, the coral beads in her hair jingling. She stomped her foot angrily, her eyebrows furrowed, clearly unhappy.

Fu Ying looked at her puffed-up face and smiled. She reached out and pinched her soft cheek: "Who said we were going to kick you out? We were just worried that the people in your tribe would worry about you."

"If you don't want to leave, stay. I'll cook you something delicious, okay?" Fu Ying withdrew her hand and caught a glimpse of Jing Xiang's instantly excited expression. She was just that simple; she could always forget her anger in an instant.

"Since you've said so, then I'll agree." Jingxiang's eyes shone brightly, but she coughed lightly, feigning modesty, her voice rising with delight at the end.

Fu Ying looked at the gradually clearing rain outside and smiled, "How about we have a seafood barbecue today? But we'll have to trouble Xingyao and Buck to catch some fish, shrimp and snails."

Jingxiang blinked, somewhat curious: "That's not troublesome, but seafood all-you-can-eat barbecue? What's that?"

Fu Ying put a few fluorescent medicinal pills into her mouth, a slight smile curving her lips, and said softly, "You'll find out soon enough."

The cub, whose fate was fraught with hardship, was born safely and reunited with Dan Yue, a double blessing indeed, worthy of celebration, and should be celebrated with the freshest seafood.

Jingxiang glanced at Xingyao, who was pulling Danyue aside. The two were talking about something and weren't looking in their direction at all. She pouted, her long pink hair swaying gently. "Let's go! Buck!" Jingxiang grabbed Buck and ran towards the beach, saying to Fuying, "Today I'll show you what a deep-sea hunter really is!"

As she spoke, Jingxiang leaped into the sea, drawing a dazzling arc of light across the surface.

Buck followed closely behind and jumped down with a thud.

Amidst the sound of the tide, the clear, melodious voice of Whale Fragrance could be faintly heard: "Yes! Buck, in that crevice of the reef over there, yes, that's the shrimp with claws bigger than its head! The meat is sweet!"

Fuying took out a barbecue grill and sauces, lit the charcoal fire, and while warming herself by the fire, she took out postpartum care products.

She took a small sip of the postpartum elixir from various sources. The mellow taste melted on her tongue, and the rich spiritual energy flowed down her throat to her limbs and bones, repairing her body.

These postpartum tonics tasted good and were very nutritious; the pain quickly disappeared.

However, the weariness in her bones was still there. After all, she hadn't had a proper rest for a long time since entering the deep sea. The continuous consumption of spiritual energy and the experience of childbirth had left her feeling somewhat powerless.

She wasn't made of iron after all; even the strongest bones and muscles couldn't withstand such strain.

The most important thing right now is to fill his stomach and get a good night's sleep. Once he's rested and regained his strength, he can reshape the star pattern for Dan Yue.

On the other side, Xingyao told Danyue about all the details of meeting Fuying. At the end, his voice paused slightly, and he hesitated a bit before saying, "The Demon Sea Abyss... is extremely dangerous. When Fuying came out, she had bloodstains on her clothes. Perhaps she really wanted to make amends..."

Dan Yue's gaze sharpened slightly, and her fingers tightened a little.

Xingyao's lips moved again, but he swallowed the words back.

He hesitated whether to say a few more words in defense of Fuying, but the words lingered on his tongue before he swallowed them back. After all, he wasn't the one who was hurt back then.

However, now that the contract has been formed, and Fu Ying has indeed regretted it and is willing to make amends, she should live a good life. After all, in the Beast God Contract, it is always the male who is bound.

Fate is already decided, but we should still try to look forward.

Xingyao looked at Danyue's tense jaw and remembered what he had said when he left the tribe: "Although she is a land female, she is really good. I like her very much."

At that time, even Dan Yue's eyes were filled with laughter.

As they were talking, Jingxiang and Buck returned, both of them soaking wet, with water still dripping from their hair.

Buck was carrying a large pile of fresh seafood in his arms. Plump shrimp were jumping around, scallops were opening and closing, fist-sized conch were brightly colored, and silverfish were vigorously thrashing their tails. They were all lively and jumping around.

"Quickly, clean it up." Jingxiang said, and hurriedly ran to Fuying's side.

Seeing her fiddling with the charcoal, Jingxiang unconsciously took a half step back. Sea creatures never eat cooked food and even fear such heat.

Fu Ying looked up at her, a rare gentleness in his eyes: "Don't be afraid, I'll let you have a taste later."

Jingxiang blinked, somewhat flustered by her rare gentleness. After thinking for a moment, she pointed to her chest and asked, "Does it still hurt? What are you planning to do when we get back?"
