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

Chapter 7 Xichong
Bai Ni pulled Chao Sheng to the other side of the polar island, where many beastmen were also setting up stalls to sell their wares.

It was at this moment that Bai Ni realized how ambiguous their current posture was.

The beautiful little mermaid was right beside him, and his breath was filled with her fragrance; it was as wonderful as a dream.

"You... really want to choose me as your beast husband?" Bai Ni asked uncertainly, his head lowered. He could only feel at ease after repeatedly confirming such a fantastical idea.

The beautiful little fairy who saved him that day offered to be his wife?!

“Yes.” Chao Sheng tilted her head and blinked innocently. “However…”

Just as Bai Ni was about to feel pleased, he heard Chao Sheng pause deliberately and immediately became anxious, eagerly asking, "But what?"

Chao Sheng looked at him with an ambiguous expression, her tone tentative, "I'm not going to be a live-in wife."

“I don’t like living in the tribe, and it’s impossible for me to stay in the Whale Giant Tribe with you.”

"Huh? I never thought of that..." Bai Ni was stunned, scratching the stray hairs behind his ear in confusion. Females were precious, and the idea of ​​becoming a live-in wife was no longer popular. He had no intention of letting Chao Sheng become a live-in wife.

Chao Sheng no longer has a tribe, and he is thinking of finding a better sea area with her to live together.

"Really?" Chao Sheng's expression froze for a moment, then she suddenly smiled, grabbed Bai Ni's arm, and looked up, blinking her beautiful eyes. "You really didn't think of that?"

Caught off guard by the sudden approach, Bai Ni's mind went blank for a moment. When he came to his senses, a surge of heat rose within him. He awkwardly avoided Chao Sheng's gaze, his eyelashes trembling. "Well, wherever you want to live, I'll live with you."

Chao Sheng straightened up and nodded as if satisfied. "Alright then."

The little mermaid stood thinly on the hard, icy ground, wearing a skirt made of mermaid scales on her lower body and two seashells covering her private parts on her upper body. Unlike other females who were adorned with various pearls and gems, she was like a rare gem without any embellishment or carving.

Bai Ni's heart was pounding. His gaze fell on the seashell on the little mermaid's chest. The skin exposed from the edge of the seashell was even whiter than the seashell itself. Such a rough seashell was completely unworthy of the little mermaid.

Bai Ni's eyes darkened slightly, and his Adam's apple bobbed. "Sheng Sheng, do you have any favorite jewelry?"

“If a male and female orc at the treasure hunt meet and they fall in love, as long as the male orc gives the female orc a piece of jewelry and the female orc accepts the jewelry, it means that the marriage between the two orcs is settled.”

"?" Jewelry? Chao Sheng thought of the necklace Ru Yao was wearing, her eyes filled with longing, "I want a big, round pearl, the kind I can wear around my neck!"

In her past life, when she was a priestess, she was poor and never had the chance to own any jewelry. The pearl was round and shiny, and she fell in love with it at first sight.

Infected by Chao Sheng's happiness, Bai Ni raised his eyebrows, revealing his sharp canine teeth as he smiled and said, "Okay!"

The most beautiful and rarest pearls in the polar seas are the black pearls produced by the Black Butterfly Shell Beastmen. Bai Ni's eyes darted around and locked onto the Black Butterfly Shell Beastmen not far away.

"Sheng Sheng, let's go."

Bai Ni led Chao Sheng over. The Black Butterfly Orc was thin and short, but had jet-black, shiny skin like a living black pearl.

Bai Ni spoke with a Black Butterfly Shell Beastman, who silently glanced at Chao Sheng, then untied the animal skin bag hanging from his waist and handed it to Chao Sheng, saying, "Take your time choosing."

Chao Sheng held a heavy bag of pearls, afraid that she might spill them if she wasn't careful. Her beautiful purple eyes darted around. "Then I'll go sit over there and choose." She pointed to a rock not far away, and after getting permission from the Black Butterfly Beastman, she sat down with the pearls in her hands.

This bag is mostly filled with black pearls, with some white ones, some colored ones, and some pearls whose colors Chao Sheng can't describe.

It was the first time Chao Sheng had ever seen so many beautiful pearls. The little one was so curious, staring intently at them, exclaiming, "This one's so big! This one's so shiny! This one's so beautiful!"

"Is there anything you like?" Bai Ni asked, leaning closer.

Chao Sheng stared at the pearls, her eyes dazzled but she couldn't choose her favorite. She could only plead, "Can I choose a little longer?"

The cool voice softened slightly, making Bai Ni's heart melt. He estimated the price and walked over to the Black Butterfly Beastman, saying, "Can I buy all of these?"

The Black Butterfly Orc stared at him in astonishment, his mouth agape in surprise. "Buy...buy everything?"

Bai Ni nodded without hesitation, "Yes, I think I'll buy them all."

Their tribe's sea spirit ginseng has been secured! The Black Butterfly Shell Beastman's eyes gleamed as he looked at Bai Ni in front of him, almost exclaiming in surprise! As if afraid that Bai Ni would change his mind if he hesitated even a moment, he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay! Just give us a thousand crystal coins."

Bai Ni tilted the bag hanging on his beast skirt; it contained a little over a thousand coins. After thinking for a moment, he simply gave it all to the Black Butterfly Beastman. "Could you help me make a female garment out of pearls? Use the prettiest pearls. If you have any left, you can make a necklace."

“Sure.” The Black Butterfly Beastman counted exactly 1,080 crystal coins and immediately beamed with joy. “Thanks! Our tribe has been waiting for these crystal coins to buy Sea Spirit Ginseng later!”

"The orcs at this treasure hunt are all waiting to use their crystal coins to buy sea spirit ginseng, holding onto their crystal coins tightly... I'm afraid I won't be able to sell any pearls."

“Our tribe is useless; we’re using crystal coins to trade for prey. Sigh…” “I hope you can buy the Sea Spirit Ginseng.” Bai Ni lowered his eyes uninterestedly. When he saw Chao Sheng standing obediently to the side, his usually fierce eyes softened. How could the Sea Spirit Ginseng compare to his little mermaid?

"Bai Ni, I've made my choice!" Chao Sheng walked over excitedly with a pearl in her hand. This black pearl wasn't the biggest, but its halo was incredibly beautiful, with a faint purple-pink hue within the white halo.

The moment Chao Sheng saw it, she fell in love with it.

"But..." The Black Butterfly Orc was about to say that you don't need to choose anymore, these are all yours.

Bai Ni spoke first, "Is the black pearl pretty?"

"Mmm!" Chao Sheng nodded happily.

"Then these are all yours." Bai Ni took the pearls she had already bought and handed them over. "I bought them all. These pearls can be my dowry, okay?"

Black pearls are not cheap; a thousand crystal coins represent all of Bai Ni's savings from childhood to adulthood.

Chao Sheng paused, holding the pearl. The cool pearl felt hot in her hand. For the first time, the words "Bai Ni likes you" felt real to Chao Sheng. She looked at Bai Ni with emotion, and all her words were reduced to one word: "Okay."

Unfortunately, the touching atmosphere lasted only a moment before being ruined by an arrogant and rampant voice.

"I want to buy pearls. Give me your best pearls!"

A male whale shark orc swaggered over, followed by two male orc followers, looking like a pampered young master.

"But... the pearls are all sold out." The Black Butterfly Shell Beastman trembled with nervousness as he looked at the approaching beastman, his head buried tightly, refusing to look directly at the Whale Shark Beastman.

Xi Chong raised his chin high and looked at him with displeasure, "Sold out?"

“Yes, yes, they were all sold to him…” The Black Butterfly Beastman meekly stretched out his hand, pointing at Bai Ni and Chao Sheng.

The bag of pearls in Chao Sheng's hand shone brightly. Xi Chong glanced at it with a gloomy face, then looked at Bai Ni, clearly recognizing him. "Oh, just turned 18, and you already know how to buy pearls to please the females?"

"But Bai Ni, your taste is terrible." Xi Chong glanced at Chao Sheng disdainfully, looking at Bai Ni arrogantly, "Let this kind of trash who only has looks be your wife?!"

"I didn't know you were such a shallow beast!"

"!" Chao Sheng's mind went blank. Had he just complimented her on her looks?

She discreetly scrutinized the strange beastman. He had a terrible temper, but he seemed to know Bai Ni? This newcomer didn't seem friendly, so Chao Sheng decided to observe the situation before making any further plans.

"you wanna die!"

Bai Ni sharpened his tiger teeth, wanting to rush up and fight Xichong.

From childhood, Xichong had always regarded him as his mortal enemy, constantly seeking trouble with him and trying to win against him.

He could let other things slide, but Xichong should never have dared to involve Shengsheng!
Seeing this, Chao Sheng quickly stopped Bai Ni from making a move. The warmth of her hand calmed Bai Ni down. Chao Sheng looked at the arrogant male beastman and said calmly, "Our business should be none of your concern, right?"

Xi Chong snorted coldly, his eyes practically rolling to the sky. "It's over now."

He looked at the handful of pearls in Chao Sheng's hand, "I want all these pearls!"

"Does a convicted criminal like her deserve such fine things?"

Chao Sheng frowned, a cold glint flashing in her amethyst eyes. "What did you say?!"

Even if she were a clay figure, she would still get angry when faced with the malicious cries of "sinful woman".

She closed her eyes with restraint, her fingertips slowly gathering witch power. If this ignorant orc dared to make a move, she wouldn't mind taking another "beast" life.

"You..." Xi Chong spat. How could this trashy female make him feel any danger? He cowardly looked at Bai Ni and asked in a hard voice, "Bai Ni, do you really want to go against me?"

"You're the one who's going against me," Bai Ni said coldly. This guy had always loved to compete with him since they were kids, but he could never beat him in anything, which caused a lot of trouble.

Xichong wanted to teach them a lesson, but knowing he couldn't beat Bai Ni and not wanting to lose face on this day, he could only angrily point at him and say, "Fine, Bai Ni, you just wait!"

"I'll make you regret it."
