As they were close to each other, Curtis could feel the sudden tensing of the female’s body. With his lips curled up coldly, he grabbed the petite hand—that was preparing to attack the back of his neck using a sharp seashell—with his backhand.

Jean’s face—that was ridiculously fair, to begin with—turned as white as dead ash instantly. With her hand forced to clench due to the tight grip around it, she felt a piercing pain from her fingers. Blood droplets of a vibrant shade of red slipped down her fair and delicate fingers.

“Ah! Let go of me.” Jean yelped in pain.

Curtis tossed her hand away. When Jean saw how much blood she had lost, she nearly fainted from shock.

Seeing that the snake beastman was prepared to send her into the sea, Jean retreated in spite of the pain and shrieked loudly. “No! Don’t send me back there!”

Curtis cast a lazy glance at her. “Up to you.”

With that, Curtis left in a suave manner.

There was a patrolling team in the vicinity. So long as this female wasn’t too unlucky, she would be rescued by them. Looking at how scheming she was, Curtis figured she would be able to live well anywhere.

Hence, Curtis, who was lazy by nature, decided to wash his hands of this matter.

Immensely relieved, Jean let out an exhale. As she washed the bloodstains off her hands in the seawater with her brows furrowed, she scolded the snake beastman countless times in her heart.

Was she not pretty enough? Clearly, the males all said she was the most beautiful female ever.

Or was it that the females on land were prettier? She had to check it out herself.

…

“My goodness! Are you a lone female?”

Amidst the lush greenery, Jean met the second non-merfolk beastman she had ever seen in her life.

His appearance was rather peculiar and he wasn’t good-looking. However, his thrilled reaction pleased her.

His hands were very large. Although rough, they felt very warm. The instant Jean touched his hands, she fondled them admiringly in her hands and found herself reluctant to part with them.

“You like me?”

Completely different from the attitude of that snake beastman earlier, this male sounded overwhelmed with honor.
