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

Chapter 53 A Lone String Comes to the Door
“My sister has always been kind-hearted, and…” Bai Ni bit her lip, a barely perceptible disappointment showing on her calm face, “She only got together with that lowly krill beastman because of pressure from her mother, but in reality she still can’t let him go.”

“I had already guessed that she would secretly go to see Lianxun.”

His dark eyes were filled with complex emotions, and a faint weariness lingered on his handsome face. Bai Niwei sighed silently, "Sheng Sheng, don't worry about this."

Chao Sheng shook her head in disagreement, a hint of anger flashing across her face. "But Lian Xun almost killed you."

"If it had been any later, you would have been dead."

"Moreover, now that he's been driven out of the tribe, he must still hold a grudge against us. There's no guarantee he won't do something else to harm us later."

Yin Xu nodded slightly, a hint of approval in her dark brown eyes. "I think so too."

That male beastman dared to poison Bai Ni this time, and he'll dare to harm Sheng Sheng next time. He absolutely cannot allow such a danger to exist.

They originally thought that after driving him out of the tribe, he would die in the sea soon, given his abilities and temperament. But now that Bai Qi is holding him, he won't die, so they'll have to do it themselves.

Seeing Bai Ni remain silent, Yin Xu said calmly, "If you can't bring yourself to do it, then I will."

"Hmm." Bai Ni rested his chin on one hand and responded softly, his once unruly eyebrows drooping, revealing a faint sense of dejection.

Although he no longer intends to continue his relationship with his sister, he doesn't want to turn against her because of that lowly krill beastman.

Let him run away for a while.

……

As dusk approached, Chaosheng couldn't wait to go to sleep in her little nest.

But then an uninvited guest came to visit.

Her slender frame carried a large bag of fish and shrimp, her delicate shoulders bent slightly under the weight, and her beautifully shaped eyebrows sparkled like stars.

Gu Xian stood politely at the door and said, "I'm here to see Chao Sheng."

The little mermaid on the seashell bed suddenly stood up, her eyes sparkling with confusion. Had she come to find her?!
"Who?"

Yin Xu stepped out first, the water rippled, shadows flickered, and the pale, delicate beauty shone with an unusual beauty against the backdrop of her red hair.

Silver Floss looked at the unfamiliar male orc with wary eyes, her tone slightly cold, "Who are you?"

With a pure expression and a gentle tone, Gu Xian replied, "I want to come to Chaosheng."

"Did you come here specifically to thank her?"

"Thank you, Sheng Sheng?" Yin Xu looked at him with even more wariness. Did he really need to thank her so late?

"It is you."

Her purple hair danced against the current, and her fair legs were wrapped in a flowing purple gauze skirt as she walked out.

Chao Sheng looked at Gu Xian in front of her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, "Why are you here?"

Yin Xu's eyebrows twitched, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips. "Sheng Sheng, who is he?"

"Oh." Chao Sheng chuckled and introduced him to Yin Xu, "He's the older brother of that little octopus from that day."

"His name is Gu Xian, and the little octopus is called Xiao Du."

After saying that, Chao Sheng gently took Yin Xu's hand, looked at Gu Xian, and introduced him with a smile: "He is my beast husband, his name is Yin Xu."

Gu Xian looked at their tightly clasped hands, her red eyes darkening for a moment, and her voice was so soft it was almost imperceptible, "Hello."

"My name is Gu Xian."

Deep red eyes met deep brown eyes. A chilling smile flashed in the red eyes, and Yin Xu narrowed her eyes, her gaze becoming more scrutinizing.

Seeing that it wasn't appropriate for everyone to stand at the door talking, Chao Sheng called out, "Come in and let's talk."

"Okay." Gu Xian dragged a basket of fish and shrimp in, and with the resistance of the water, every step he took was especially difficult.

Yin Xu volunteered, "Let me help you."

Gu Xian simply shook his head, his clear voice carrying a hint of coolness, "No need."

Chao Sheng frowned slightly but didn't say anything, after all, in her eyes, Gu Xian had always been this strange.

She gestured for Gu Xian to place him to one side, then instructed them to sit on the straw mats she had laid out.

"Bai Ni is sleeping, let's keep our voices down."

Chao Sheng pointed to the inside of the ice wall, which was very high and solid, making it almost impossible to see that there was an orc lying inside.

Gu Xian's eyes darkened slightly, and his pale lips twitched. "Okay."

With the faint light shining in from outside the cave, one could vaguely make out the figures of people.

Chao Sheng sat very close to Yin Xu, feeling a slight warmth emanating from her side. She looked at Gu Xian opposite her with a calm expression and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Xian lowered his head, his long, dark hair falling down, his handsome face hidden in the red hair, making it impossible to see his expression. His voice was gentle and ethereal, "I've come to thank you."

"I've already told you."

"This basket of game was a gift from Shanlan and the others, but they had something to do and couldn't come in person, so they asked me to do it for them."

A strange feeling crossed Chao Sheng's mind. Her pretty face furrowed slightly, but she still politely said, "Okay, thank you."

Suddenly, Gu Xian gently raised her head, her captivating red eyes staring straight at Chao Sheng. "I was injured and unable to hunt, but I am truly grateful for your help."

So, can I stay?

As Gu Xian spoke, the corners of his thin lips curled up slightly, and a hint of bewitching flashed in the corner of his eyes. "Just ask me to do whatever you need."

"Ah, no... I don't think that's necessary."

Chao Sheng was stunned by Gu Xian's words and awkwardly declined Gu Xian's suggestion, saying, "I don't need you to do anything for me."

"Besides, what will happen to Xiao Du if you come here?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xian tilted her head, her beautiful face displaying an innocent expression. "So, you want me to bring him along?"

Chao Sheng blinked in confusion, her thick, curled eyelashes fluttering rapidly, and said tactfully, "I... that's not what I meant."

"It's not very convenient for you to stay here with us, is it?"

"Hmm?" Gu Xian's voice trailed off seductively, his eyes clear and innocent. "Is there something inconvenient?"

Chao Sheng: "..."

This guy is even less polite than her.

“You are not welcome here.” Yin Xu’s face darkened, and she looked sharply at the presumptuous orc.

As a fellow male beastman, he could naturally sense that subtle aura; this beastman was interested in Sheng Sheng.

"Oh?" His pale lips moved slightly, his voice lingering weakly. Gu Xian smiled faintly. "Chao Sheng, it seems your beast husband has a problem with me."

"You didn't even say anything, and he presumptuously made the decision for you?"

“In my old tribe, beastmen like him would have suffered a lot.” Gu Xian’s smile deepened, and his voice became more forceful. “But luckily, he met such a good wife as you, so he can be tolerant of him.”

“You…” Yin Xu narrowed her eyes, looking angrily at the affected male beastman.

"shut your mouth!"
