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

Chapter 45 He's not coming.
Have you heard?

"Nishichi is dead, and his death was horribly tragic."

"His face was rotten, and his head had separated from his body."

"Tsk tsk!" Hong Lianlian said to her girlfriends with a gossipy look on her face, a smug smile on her lips.

"If you ask me, she deserves it."

"See? This is karma."

Martha's expression grew increasingly grim, her face draining of color and turning pale, clearly indicating she didn't want to discuss the topic.

"Alright, alright," Mu Yi quickly stepped in to smooth things over, giving Hong Lianlian a series of meaningful glances, "Don't say anything more."

She was truly impressed by those two.

Martha shook her head and said softly, "It's nothing."

Hong Lianlian crossed her arms, feeling extremely pleased. She even wished she could grab a megaphone and shout it out everywhere, letting all the sea beastmen in the polar seas know about it.

Looking at the preoccupied Masha, Hong Lianlian, being her childhood best friend, still tried to persuade her gently: "Now that Xizhidu is dead, what does your Blue Shark tribe plan to do?"

Martha slowly shook her head, a hint of disappointment in her voice, "I don't know."

“My mother never discusses these things with me.”

Hong Lianlian pouted indignantly, getting angry at Martha's pathetic state. "If you ask me, your mother is biased. She never includes you in anything."

"And then..." Hong Lianlian paused, then said with a profound expression, "I think now is the best time for you to break free from the control of the Whale Shark Clan."

"By the way, do you know who will be in charge of the whale shark clan from now on?"

Martha paused, then hesitated before saying, "I've heard some news."

"Chief Xizhi has no children."

"It seems that Young Master Xi Chong is planning to bring his wife back to the Whale Shark Clan."

"We're going to let him take over the whale shark clan himself."

Upon hearing this, Hong Lianlian rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "Xichong and Rusui are capable of doing such things?!"

"A normal marriage has been changed to a son-in-law marrying into the wife's family? That's laughable!"

“Oh dear!” Hong Lianlian pretended to sigh and continued, “But there’s nothing we can do about it. Back then, Xi Zhi killed all of her mother’s children except for Xichong in order to rise to power.”

"If Xichong doesn't take over now, the position of chieftain of the whale shark tribe will fall to another beastman."

“Xichong is a brainless and bad-tempered guy. If you continue to work for him, you’ll be in big trouble.”

Masha turned pale upon hearing this. Their tribe was dependent on the Whale Shark Clan, and if the Whale Shark Clan's chieftain were to become Xichong, their tribe's life would likely become increasingly difficult.

"Alright, stop making sarcastic remarks," Mu Yi said to Hong Lianlian in a deep voice, then quickly went to comfort Ma Sha, "I think what Lianlian said makes sense."

"It's a good thing that we can now break away from the whale shark clan."

"The polar seas are so vast, we don't need to rely on whale sharks to survive."

Martha lowered her head, her eyes filled with conflict and hesitation. The heavy weight of the choice weighed on her, and she no longer had the strength to say anything more.

Hong Lianlian looked at Masha like this and sighed sincerely, her expression becoming more serious.

"Alright, just do your best in this matter."

"Speaking of which, Xi Zhi deserved it."

"I heard that she wanted to marry the white whale beastman from the War Shark tribe."

"Before going to the Shark Tribe that day, I did something to her walrus beast husband."

"Otherwise, if something happens to Xi Zhizhen on the whale shark tribe's territory, that walrus beastman will definitely sense it and come to her rescue."

Mu Yi's eyes lit up, and she became more interested; she hadn't heard about this before.

"What's wrong? Tell me in detail."

Hong smiled smugly and continued speaking. ...

The agreed-upon day arrived.

Chao Sheng tidied the spring vines with light steps; the green tendrils twisted and turned, like green snakes coiling around her.

Bai Ni looked at Chao Sheng lazily, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

No, no.

Sheng Sheng has been acting strangely these past two days, always going out.

The smell on his body also started to smell a little strange.

Could it be... that Sheng Sheng is keeping other male beastmen behind his back?

Thinking of this possibility, Bai Ni bit her lip in annoyance, her eyes flashing with jealousy.

Lately, he's been sleeping a lot, which has meant he's been spending less time with Sheng Sheng.

If things were like before, he would definitely pester Sheng Sheng every day and would never give her the chance to go out and find wild male beastmen.

Chao Sheng bundled the pile of spring vines together, held them in her arms, and looked up at Bai Ni, saying, "Alright, I have to get back to work."

"You have to be a good boy/girl at home, okay?"

Bai Ni snorted softly, offering no further reply; he intended to follow.

But drowsiness slowly crept in, and he wanted to sleep again.

He frowned in displeasure and yawned lazily. "Go ahead."

"I will be good."

Her neat, short black hair floated in the seawater. A string of small bubbles came out of Bai Ni's wide-open mouth. Her eyes were so sleepy that she could barely keep them open, but she was willing to go to sleep only after the little mermaid left.

Chao Sheng chuckled softly, a hint of indulgence flashing in her eyes.

The spring vine in my arms was heavy; Nagisa Tetsu had specially brought the best and freshest one today.

Nagisa Tetsuya possesses a space-based ability, and Haruzawa Fuji was well preserved in the space he created.

The place Chao Sheng arranged with them was on the icy shore of the sea.

When she got ashore, Shanlan was waiting there, supported by a dark-faced orc.

A little further away, on an ice rock, sat a male orc who looked rather thin.

He was dressed in a thin, transparent white animal suit, and judging from his figure, he should be a male orc, but he had long, dark red hair.

My hair looks great, smooth and shiny, and it's gently swaying in the sea breeze.

Right next to him was the adorable little Dumbo octopus.

Chao Sheng immediately understood; this was the older brother the little octopus had mentioned.

"I am coming."

Chao Sheng spoke up, and Shan Lan and Bao San, who were leaning against each other, looked up and walked over excitedly.

The red-haired male orc turned around, a faint smile curving his pale, weak face. His features were exquisitely beautiful, with a conspicuous cinnabar mole adorning the corner of his left eye. Every smile and frown was like a gentle breeze, giving people a very good impression.

Upon hearing the voice, Dumbo the Octopus quickly hopped over with Gu Xian, saying, "Brother, it's her."

"Once she helps you purify your mind, you will no longer be in pain."

Chao Sheng looked around carefully, and only after confirming that one orc was missing did she ask, "Are you the only ones?"

“Um…” Chao Sheng frowned, looking somewhat conflicted. She didn’t know the orc’s name and really didn’t know how to address him, so she could only say, “Where is that orc?”

"He didn't come?"

Shanlan paused slightly, supporting Leopard Three, and awkwardly moved her lips, "He... isn't coming."

There will be another chapter later.
