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

Chapter 37 Nishichi's Gossip

“I…” A faint embarrassment crossed Hong Lianlian’s face. She had rushed over in a moment of impulse without any mental preparation.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head in frustration and sighed deeply. It was over; the little mermaid probably thought she was stupid.

Chao Sheng frowned slightly, staring intently at the strange female, wondering to herself, "Do you need something from me?"

Hong shook her head repeatedly and said in a low voice, "No."

"...?" Chao Sheng pursed her lips slightly, her shiny tail peeking out from the crevice of the reef, her expression indifferent, "Alright."

"I have something to do, I have to go back now."

what?
Hong Lianlian suddenly raised her head and looked at her incredulously. Was she really leaving?
"Hey!"

"No, no!"

"Don't leave!"

Hong Lianlian hurriedly grabbed a slender, fair wrist, and Chao Sheng was suddenly pulled back. She turned around, her cold eyes filled with questioning.

Hong Lianlian's mind raced, her eyes darting left and right. After a long while, she finally managed to lift her upper lip and say, under Chao Sheng's extremely imposing gaze, "Um... do you and Xi Zhi not get along?"

After saying that, Hong Lianlian wanted to slap herself. What kind of question was that? All the sea beastmen in the polar sea knew that the exiled mermaid had offended the chieftain of the whale shark clan.

Oh no, this beautiful mermaid must think she's a stupid fish.

Chao Sheng's expression was indifferent as she slowly nodded, "Mm."

The female mermaid hadn't left; she was still chatting with him. Hong Lianlian took a slow breath, calmed herself down, and said to Chao Sheng, "I'll help you. I don't like her either."

"She once took a fancy to one of the orcs in my tribe and wanted to marry him as her orc husband."

"At the time, our tribe thought this was a great thing. After all, our tribe's orcs weren't very capable. Apart from having good looks and being lucky, they didn't have any particularly striking faces."

"I never imagined that I would be able to get in touch with such a powerful group as the whale sharks."

Chao Sheng frowned impatiently, a hint of annoyance in her eyes. "Sorry, I'm not interested in these things."

Although she now really wants to get revenge, she has no interest in Nishichi's romantic affairs.

"Hey! Let me finish." Seriously, this mermaid is so impatient.

Despite her inner grumbling, Hong Lianlian still assured Chao Sheng with a confident expression, "I promise, I promise there will be important points later."

Chao Sheng remained silent, glancing up slightly at the light and color, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes. "Fine, I'll just listen to what she has to say."

Seeing that Chao Sheng had stayed, Hong Lianlian hurriedly continued, "Xi Zhi has a very jealous beast husband, a walrus beastman. He is ugly, but has a high talent for supernatural abilities. I heard that he can make his body grow several times larger and his strength will increase dozens of times, like a monster."

"Several times higher?" Chao Sheng narrowed his eyes, keenly recalling the immense, oppressive body that Xi Zhi had displayed during his fight with Bai Pei that day.

Chao Sheng looked at Hong Lianlian quietly, her expression softening slightly, and a hint of expectation flashed in her crystal-clear eyes.

Hong Lianlian keenly observed this subtle change in Chao Sheng and thought proudly, "See? All the orcs will be impressed by my gossip."

But soon, as if she had thought of something sad, she lowered her eyes and said in a sorrowful tone, "After that orc from our tribe married him, he was tortured to death by the walrus orcs not long after."

“At the time, we didn’t know the reasons behind it. We just thought that our tribe’s orc had died so mysteriously, and we had to get an explanation for him.” “Who knew that when we went to the Whale Shark tribe, Xizhi actually said that he died because he was weak and had nothing to do with them.”

"And she even blamed us for marrying her off to a male orc who wouldn't live long!"

The Red Heart Tribe couldn't swallow this insult and spread the word. Xi Zhi felt they had ruined her reputation, so after teaching her mother a lesson, she often tried to trip them up.

Chao Sheng blinked, a hint of weariness appearing at the corners of her eyes, her interest waning. "Anything else?"

"Yes, yes!" Hong Lianlian was immersed in her sad emotions and was about to collapse. Upon hearing this, she immediately realized that the mermaid was losing patience and quickly perked up, saying, "We know that the spiritual sea of ​​that walrus beastman in the west is severely polluted."

"I heard that he survived thanks to the Sea Spirit Ginseng and even successfully advanced to the fifth rank."

“However…” Hong Lianlian paused, her tone drawn out and taking a sharp turn, “I heard that after that walrus beastman advanced, his mental sea became even more polluted, and he has to take a large amount of sea spirit ginseng every day to stay conscious.”

"And he even demanded that Nishichi divorce all the other beastmen who didn't have superpowers."

“As for Xizhi…” Hong drew out her words, revealing a sarcastic smile, “She’s been searching for high-ranking orcs lately. Once she finds one, Xizhi will kick that walrus orc to the curb.”

"..." Chao Sheng's eyes flickered, and a hint of suspicion appeared in her gaze as she looked at Hong Lianlian. "How did you know about these things?"

“…Ha!” Hong laughed awkwardly, her eyes darting around. “Don’t worry about that, I have my own channels.”

Chao Sheng paused slightly, a deep meaning flashing in her eyes, "Alright."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Kill that walrus beastman!" Hong Lianlian's eyes hardened, but then, as if sensing something amiss, her expression returned to normal. Perhaps fearing that Chao Sheng would disagree, she softened her tone and advised, "That walrus beastman is no good."

"Moreover, he is currently the beastman with the highest superpower in Xizhi. If we kill him, Xizhi's superpower will be greatly diminished."

"I'll think about it," Chao Sheng replied dismissively, her interest waning. Her conflict with Xi Zhi didn't need to involve her beastly husband.

She would naturally make Xi Zhi pay back everything he owed her.

“Eh…” Hong Lianlian wanted Chao Sheng to nod and agree quickly, but when she saw Chao Sheng’s cold expression, she immediately deflated, almost forgetting that the person in front of her was a sixth-level female, whose ability level was even higher than Xi Zhi’s.

She pouted her red lips and looked at the shrimp and conch on the seabed with disappointment. "Okay, then you can think about it."

"Ah."

……

She said she would consider it.

However, it's not a question of whether or not to kill Nishichi's beast husband.

Instead, she needed to think about how to deal with what would happen three days from now; she couldn't let those orcs who trusted her go home disappointed.

Although the Yu Sheng Flower fell into the hands of the Whale Shark Clan, fire is needed for it to have a purifying effect, and no matter how much the Whale Shark Clan studies it, they will never be able to figure out the correct way to use it.

She wasn't worried about that.

But should we go and snatch Yu Shenghua back?
This is something she really needs to think about carefully.

Don't go too far, there'll be another chapter later!
