Chapter 424 - Threaten (1/2)

“Bluepool said that he managed to save the female and brought her back. Had Jean been snatched away by another tribe before?”

“No! This isn’t true. I can’t imagine the consequences of Jean being snatched away.”

Similar comments like these rang out, and the sea suddenly became so noisy that nothing could be heard clearly.

“Quiet!”

King called out, and there was instant silence in the sea.

“It’s true that Jean has been snatched away before, ten years ago.”

After saying this, no commotion ensued. Instead, there was complete silence.

King continued, “I hid this news from everyone for the village’s survival, only sending out the strong merfolks with mating rights to the land to search for her. Now that Jean is back, our village’s danger is gone.”

“That’s not true!”

A clear voice interrupted King’s words. All the merfolks’ gazes turned toward Bai Qingqing.

Bai Qingqing suddenly shrank back a little to be stared at by over 100,000 pairs of eyes. She lost a lot of her composure.

“I’m not Jean. Haven’t you guys seen Jean before? It can’t be that there isn’t a single one of you who recognizes her, right?”

Bai Qingqing was in disbelief. What she found the hardest to understand was that Jean’s identity didn’t seem to be just a female. Judging from the over 100,000 merfolks’ attitude, it seemed she was revered as a queen.

King looked toward Bai Qingqing’s face through the film, with him being kept outside.

“It seems that you really like the male from the land.” King threw a meaningful look at the leopard cubs in Bai Qingqing’s arms. “For his sake, you’re throwing away your status and responsibilities.”

Bai Qingqing looked into King’s eyes and said in a displeased tone, “You know I’m not.”

Her tone was certain and without a doubt. This merfolk had four animal stripes and clearly had the highest status. He must be very familiar with Jean judging from what he had just said.
