Jean took a look at the surroundings and said calmly, “Given this environment, if you were to leave, how am I going to survive? It’ll be the heavy rainy season very soon. Right now, even having a place to stay is going to be a problem.”

As Jean said this, she had a stronger feeling that the ocean was good. She only needed to take note of the ocean currents and tsunamis. However, those threats would also be resolved by the male merfolks and wouldn’t appear before her.

The ape king fell silent and only spoke up after a long while. “Alright… I’ll send you back.”

After the ape king said this, his back hunched and the sparse hair on his head swayed with the wind, giving off a bleak feeling. It was as if he had instantly grown 20 years older.

Amongst the four races, the ape beastmen suffered the greatest loss. There weren’t many of them left, so there was nothing that he’d feel bad about leaving behind.

The ape king’s decision was like adding fuel to the flame for the surviving beastmen. They realized that Bai Qingqing was wronged by the ape king and felt furious as well. However, what they needed more right now was the ape king’s ability to rebuild their homes.

However, they were completely disheartened when they saw that the ape king was unmoved by their pleas for help.

When the ape king turned to leave, the leopard king suddenly spoke up.

“If I ascertain that Bai Qingqing was framed by you, I’ll definitely kill you.”

“We’ll talk with our capabilities then.”

The ape king replied without even turning back. He carried Jean on his back and slowly left the beast crowd.

…

It was just a small earthquake. The Sea Cliff’s terrain was unique and this would happen once every few years. There’d usually not be any major things taking place, and the beastmen living here were already experienced.

Look at this massive banyan tree. It had been living for over a thousand years. Wasn’t it doing fine?

The Sea Cliff’s terrain was fertile and there was a rich variety of species here. There was also salt which was a necessity in beastmen’s lives.

However, the beastmen from various parts of the world would rather travel far distances to trade salt instead of living here because earthquakes occurred every now and then.
