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

Chapter 2 The Provocation of the Great Jaw Sisters
A new day begins, and so does the search for food.

After Bai Ni's destruction yesterday, all the small fish and shrimp in Chao Sheng's area fled, forcing Chao Sheng to seek food in other sea areas.

There are many delicious cod in this area. The silvery cod swim in groups. Chao Sheng's mouth waters as she picks them out, her eyes dazzled. She can't eat that many; catching two or three of the fattest cod will be enough.

She was rubbing her hands together, having just picked out a plump cod and was about to make her move, when she was interrupted by the voice of an uninvited guest.

"Hey, isn't this the mermaid who tried to seduce the mermaid king but failed and was exiled here?"

"You were hiding somewhere a few days ago, why did you finally decide to show yourself today?"

Three female sharks, about half-grown, appeared behind Chao Sheng. Their menacing voices came from their wide-open mouths, rows of sharp teeth gleaming, and their rapidly swaying tails seemed ready to pounce on Chao Sheng and devour her at any moment.

The arrival of the uninvited guests affected Chao Sheng's hunting mood. Without turning around, she said to the female shark with her back to her, "I don't know what you're talking about. If you want to hunt, then hunt for yourselves."

Chao Sheng didn't want to stay any longer, so he casually scooped up a small cod and prepared to go back first.

"Stop!" the shark on the far left called out to Chao Sheng. "You think you can leave? Do you think you can?"

The shark on the far right chimed in, "Haha, that's right. When you come to our polar waters, you have to follow our rules, understand?"

The malice in her words was like a series of cold knives stabbing at Chao Sheng. Chao Sheng lowered her eyes, her thick, curled eyelashes falling to conceal the coldness in them, and said in a low voice, "I have something to do."

"What are we saying to you? Don't you understand?" The female shark was successfully provoked by Chao Sheng's nonchalant words and said condescendingly, "Don't think that just because you're female, I can't deal with you!"

"Back when you were with the merfolk, you could still be arrogant."

"Now that you're in the polar regions, you have to please them if you want to survive, understand?"

Chao Sheng stood frozen in place, her eyes filled with ice. Even if the original owner was wrong, hadn't she already been punished? Besides, neither she nor the original owner had ever provoked the beastmen of the polar sea! What right did these beastmen have to teach her a lesson? Dark emotions seeped out little by little, her pretty face hidden in her thick purple hair, making it impossible to see her expression at this moment.

"Actually, we don't mean anything by it." The female shark in the middle finally spoke, her voice mature and shrewd, a barely perceptible calculation flashing in her small eyes. "We just want to be friends with you, it's up to you whether you're willing or not?"

"Oh? Making friends?" Chao Sheng suddenly turned around, revealing her thick and gorgeous face, so beautiful that it took one's breath away. The three sharks were so shocked that their chests tightened, their eyes darkened, and a hint of jealousy flashed across their faces.

However, the shark in the very center, Ru Yao, calmly maintained her smile, her deliberately soft voice carrying a hint of seduction, "Yes, be friends with us."

“Once you, a newcomer female mermaid, become friends with us, the other orcs won’t dare to bully you.”

The other two females were not satisfied with these words.

"Sis, she's not worthy of being our friend."

"Exactly, we don't want friends like that!"

Ru Sui and Ru Tong were completely baffled as to why their sister had suddenly changed her expression. Before, their sister had told them about the mermaid's shameful past and warned them that the mermaid had a terrible record and they must not follow her example!
"Heh!" Chao Sheng scoffed coldly, a hint of amusement in her beautiful eyes. "It seems your sisters don't like me that much."

"My sisters are young and don't know any better, you won't mind, will you?" Ruyao secretly winked at Rusui and Rutong, then flicked her tail fin to give each of them a big tail. After Rusui and Rutong had completely quieted down, she continued the previous topic, "I really want to be friends with you."

"You must have suffered a lot since you were exiled here."

“A female without a male servant to serve her is not having an easy time here.”

"If you're willing to be friends with me, I can introduce you to a male orc from our tribe to be your husband."

Ruyao stared directly at Chaosheng, trying her best to convey a sense of determination. However, the mature yet deliberately gentle voice coming from the mouth of the huge shark was extremely incongruous and completely failed to move Chaosheng.

Chao Sheng watched the female shark's performance with a blank expression. Of course, she didn't believe such a clumsy trick, but she was curious about her purpose. What could they possibly want from a notorious, despicable female criminal like her?

Chao Sheng's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly smiled, seemingly moved by Ru Yao's words, "That's wonderful."

"You agreed?" Ruyao looked at her excitedly, her fish eyes gleaming.

“No.” Chao Sheng shook her head, a faint smile playing on her crimson lips. “What do you mean? Are you playing us?” The dark shark’s mouth opened wide, revealing sharp teeth in a show of defiance. Ru Sui glared fiercely at Chao Sheng. How dare a weak female mermaid toy with them?
“I have no intention of making friends, because you all know my current reputation, and I really don’t want to be a burden to you…” Chao Sheng spoke slowly and calmly, her beautiful eyes calm and her smile innocent and harmless, coaxing him gently, “However, I am really touched that you are still willing to be my friends. If you need any help from me, I will definitely help you.”

"Really?" Ruyao didn't want to be friends with this foreign mermaid with a bad reputation in the first place. She was still somewhat self-aware. Now, if she could achieve her goal directly, that would be even better. Her wide shark mouth opened and closed, revealing a very incongruous voice, "Then I do have a favor to ask."

"I've heard that the mermaids of the Rainbow Sea are particularly skilled at weaving. I'd like to ask you to weave me a gauze dress."

Ruyao heard from other female beastmen that the gauze woven by mermaids was especially beautiful, shimmering and sparkling. She said that her cousin wore mermaid gauze and married eight beastmen husbands at a treasure hunt.

"...Weaving a gauze dress?"

Chao Sheng was completely dumbfounded, staring wide-eyed at the enormous shark body, blinking incredulously, "Knit something this big?"

Imagine another large shark swimming in the sea wearing a thin veil.

The scene was too beautiful for her to imagine.

Realizing what Chao Sheng was thinking, Ru Yao retorted angrily, "It's for my human form! We beastmen all have human forms! Don't you know that?"

"..." Chao Sheng was stunned. Of course she knew that beastmen could turn into humans, but she hadn't fully integrated into this world yet and hadn't reacted.

She stared blankly at the three female sharks, saying nothing.

Ruyao looked at the mermaid's blank expression, a hint of disgust and impatience flashing in her eyes. No wonder she was exiled here, so stupid!
The angry shark could no longer pretend; its voice was no longer gentle, but hoarse and tinged with urgency.

Are you willing to help me with this?

"Yes, are you going to help us or not?" Ru Sui looked at Chao Sheng threateningly. She was quick-witted and immediately understood what her sister wanted to do.

The treasure hunt is almost here. All the orcs in this sea area will participate, firstly to exchange resources, and secondly to allow young males and females from various tribes to meet and form marriage alliances.

It would be good if my sister could find a few capable beastmen at the treasure hunt.

After learning the great white shark's purpose, Chao Sheng suddenly felt bored. She closed her eyes listlessly and replied lazily, "You've got the wrong person. I've been lazy and good-for-nothing since I was a child, and I can't weave."

"You..." You can't? Ruyao looked at Chaosheng in disbelief. How could this be? Aren't mermaids supposed to be able to weave yarn?

"If you don't want to help me, just say so. Why lie to me?!"

“I’m not lying to you.” Chao Sheng casually twirled a strand of hair, a cryptic smile playing on her lips. “Mermaids who can weave yarn have a very high status in our tribe, so how could they be exiled here?”

"This..." Ru Yao couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false. She had never left the polar sea area and her understanding of other sea areas was all hearsay, so it was hard to tell the truth from the falsehood. Just as she was thinking about it, Ru Tong, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly went crazy as if she were possessed.

"Since you have no use to me, why not just be my food!"

Rutong looked at Chaosheng greedily. Her skin was so delicate and tender; perhaps if she ate her, she could become just as beautiful.

The Treasure Hunt! She also wants to marry a capable beastman at the Treasure Hunt, then she'll be in charge of the Mad Shark Tribe!
The eldest sister is beautiful, the second sister is smart, but she is stupid and clumsy. She has never been popular with male orcs since she was a child, and even now that she is an adult, no male orc has ever shown her any interest.

If she could be that beautiful, she wouldn't need any mermaid veil to marry the best beastman in the polar sea at the treasure hunt!
Ignoring her two older sisters' astonishment, she swam toward Chao Sheng on her own, her eyes blazing with a crazed fire, like a heretic who had gone mad.

Chao Sheng stood there calmly, without flinching at all. Her calm eyes held a hint of eager excitement. She was tired of constantly dodging and backing down. All she needed now was a direct confrontation to quell the resentment in her heart.

She watched silently as the great white shark approached her, her fingers moving in the shadows, gathering magical power.

Just as the great white shark swam in front of her, about to swallow her whole, a mysterious force pierced Ru Tong's abdomen, causing blood to gush out.

"Ahhhh!"
