Sea World of Beasts: The Sinful Mermaid - She's a Heartthrob

Chapter 16 Living Together
Hearing them say that, Chao Sheng's eyelashes trembled, and she felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She didn't know what to say, so she looked at them seriously and said firmly, "I will try my best to be good to you in the future."

"Haha..." Bai Ni covered her mouth and chuckled. Sheng Sheng is so cute.

Yin Xu smiled slightly, her eyes filled with indulgence and affection, "No need, you've already done enough."

"..." Hearing Bai Ni's laughter, a hint of annoyance flashed in Chao Sheng's eyes. What was so funny? It was rare for her to break through her mental defenses and take the initiative to reveal her feelings. They didn't dare to make a move, and they even laughed?
Chao Sheng's gaze fell on the fish that had stopped jumping on the shore. "Let's eat fish." She didn't hold it against them.

The bright yellow fire cooked the fish meat, and Bai Ni couldn't wait to pick it up and eat it. As he ate, he kept grimacing from the burn, "Ugh! My mouth feels like it's on fire!"

"...That's not burning, that's scalding." Fool, Chao Sheng thought to himself. This world is full of seas, with only a few scattered small islands. Most beastmen have never been exposed to fire. They call the feeling of being burned by the sun "burning," and they don't know what scalding is.

"Oh!" Bai Ni lazily tore off a piece of fish, her tone languid. "My mouth is burning."

Chao Sheng lowered his eyelids, his eyes darkened, and he was speechless.

Yin Xu looked at the two of them, a faint smile appearing in her eyes. Suddenly, her expression changed as if she had thought of something, and she asked, "Sheng Sheng, did you cleanse Bai Ni's spiritual sea in the same way before?"

"You also know about herbs?"

When the topic that had been avoided was brought up, Chao Sheng sighed inwardly and blurted out the explanation she had prepared, "It wasn't like that before, we used other methods."

"This is to use the poppy flower to cleanse your mind. It just so happens that the poppy flower is in bloom, and I wanted to try its medicinal effects."

Chao Sheng paused slightly, as if she had thought of something, and quickly explained, "I'm not using you as an experiment. The effects of the Yu Sheng flower are very strong, enough to cleanse your spiritual sea." Moreover, with her witch power protecting you, there won't be any problems.

"Don't worry." Yin Xu didn't understand what an experiment was, but he believed that Chao Sheng wouldn't harm him, and he could also feel that his mental sea was now calm. "I know everything."

"Hmm." Chao Sheng picked up a piece of grilled fish, tore off a strip, and was filled with thoughts.

She searched everywhere for herbs because she had made a bold statement at the treasure hunt. If orcs really asked her for help, she certainly couldn't cleanse their spiritual seas like she did for Bai Ni. She would expose her witchcraft and be treated as an outcast.

Now, all orcs face the problem of their spiritual sea being polluted to some extent. If it were known that she could purify her spiritual sea out of thin air, she would undoubtedly become the target of public criticism.

However, by using herbs that orcs don't understand, they can claim it's all due to the herbs' effects and thus conceal the truth.

She had previously studied herbal medicine under the Green Spirit Witch, and she never expected it would come in handy now.

A gentle sea breeze ruffled the hair by her ears. Chao Sheng's gaze drifted into the distance as she chewed on fish. "Let's wait a little longer. When summer and autumn arrive, I'll find you some herbs and medicines that can enhance your abilities."

Bai Ni and Yin Xu were both stunned.

"Enhance superpowers?"

"There are also herbs that can enhance supernatural abilities."

“Yes.” Chao Sheng affirmed seriously. There are very few herbs in the sea. In her memory, many herbs grow on land, but the land in this world is pitifully scarce. Moreover, this is a polar sea area with only icebergs and permafrost, so it is impossible to grow the herbs she wants.

"Of course you can, you'll see when the time comes."

Bai Ni raised her chin slightly, a hint of curiosity in her eyes, "Sheng Sheng, do the beastmen in other seas know as much as you do? Or is it only the mermaids of your Rainbow Sea who know?"

Bai Ni had been staying in the polar seas, where information was scarce, but he knew that the seas outside were very different. He also didn't know what the places Sheng Sheng had stayed in before were like.
Chao Sheng: "..." If nothing unexpected happens, I should be the only one who knows this.

Even though that's what she thought in her heart, Chao Sheng still made up a story without changing her expression, "Few beastmen know about these things, and I only learned about them by chance."

As she spoke, she blinked guiltily, glancing at the silent Yin Xu beside her. A sly glint flashed in her eyes as she subtly changed the subject, "Yin Xu, what kind of superpower do you have?" "I don't even know yet!"

A hint of surprise flashed across Yin Xu's face when Chao Sheng suddenly pointed at him, but then a gentle smile appeared on his lips. He raised his right hand, and a green vine phantom emerged from his palm. "I am a wood element, sixth rank."

Chao Sheng stretched out her fingertip in surprise and curiosity. The vine bent down and gently touched her smooth fingertip, as if it had been lightly brushed by a small animal. "Wow! It's so cute!"

Even though she had seen all sorts of magical powers before, she still found this innate ability amazing in this world.

"What's so great about that?" Bai Ni curled his lip in disdain, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes. "I'll be at the sixth rank soon too!"

Upon hearing this, Yinxu remained expressionless and continued to manipulate the vines to play with Chaosheng. Chaosheng poked at the vines and replied absentmindedly, "Okay, I believe you."

Bai Ni, feeling ignored: "..." Just you wait!
……

night.

Chao Sheng stared blankly at the two handsome orcs in front of her, fidgeting uncomfortably with her fingertips. "What... what are you going to do?"

For the first two nights, Yinxu slept on the icy shore above the water, while Baini transformed into her original form and slept on the seabed in front of the cave.

Looking at Chao Sheng's shy appearance, Yin Xu couldn't help but smile. "Sheng Sheng, since we're getting married, living together is inevitable sooner or later, so why don't we get used to it now?"

Bai Ni glanced at him sideways. "Sheng Sheng is not someone you can call me that?" But he still agreed, "Yes, Sheng Sheng, married male and female beastmen live in the same nest."

Huh? Living together?
Chao Sheng was completely stunned. Ever since she became conscious, she had always lived alone and was not used to having someone else next to her when she slept.

But she couldn't think of a reasonable reason to refuse. She looked at the two of them with a conflicted expression and compromised, "Okay, you can sleep here."

“But!” Chao Sheng said seriously, “My seashell bed is too small, you’ll have to find your own places to stay.”

Chaosheng's cave is small for their beast form, but it's more than enough to accommodate their human form.

Yin Xudian didn't object much and replied, "Okay."

Bai Ni acted quickly, making a little nest for herself next to the seashell bed, and said smugly, "I'm going to sleep here!"

Chao Sheng silently looked at the nest less than half a meter away from her seashell bed, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes, "Then you can sleep here."

Hopefully, she won't have trouble sleeping tonight because of someone.

Bai Ni was even more smug after getting permission. Being so close, it was practically like he and Sheng Sheng were sleeping together.

Although it was Yin Xu who made the suggestion, he was the one who benefited the most. No wonder his mother said that orcas are an intelligent species!
Yinxu watched the interaction between the two of them, her eyes dimmed slightly, and she sat down forlornly on a rock at the entrance of the cave.

Chao Sheng's sudden disappearance and coma last night terrified him, and he felt he had to do something to put his mind at ease.

The distance between the ice shore and the water was too far, so he couldn't hear anything Chao Sheng made. That's why he came up with this idea: he and Bai Ni would both transform into human form and guard Chao Sheng in the cave.

He looked at Chao Sheng, who was already sitting on the seashell bed, a strand of purple hair playfully stuck in her chest, her Adam's apple bobbing. He fiddled with the medicine ball around his neck, his eyes dark and unfocused, not in a hurry...
