As the land was only so big, before the merfolk managed to get onto the shore, they had formed a long queue while attempting to do so.

King indicated for the remaining mermen to come back, and the group of fishes started swimming towards the depths of the sea.

“Leader, this clearly isn’t our female.” A daring merman raised his doubt.

Jean instantly flared up. Pointing a finger at him, she demanded to know. “King, who is he?”

“A merman who just came of age. Don’t be calculative with him,” King indulgently said, in a voice so gentle it made all the merfolk shiver.

Was this really their leader? Could it be that the previous female wasn’t their tribe’s female? Then, what was Bai Qingqing?

“Where’s Bai Qingqing? Isn’t she our female? Why did it change to this one?”

Another silly young merman asked. The instant he voiced out these questions, he hid into the group of fishes, afraid he would incur the wrath of the female.

“Bai Qingqing?” Jean’s voice raised a pitch in disbelief. “She’s here?”

“You know her?” Instead of answering her question, King asked her a question in turn.

“Hmph! If it weren’t for her…” She would long have taken Winston as her spouse. If she had obtained a green crystal, she wouldn’t have had to return to the sea.

But if she were to say this out loud, it would hurt their feelings. Hence, Jean put it differently. “She’s the mate of that leopard who wanted to kill me earlier. She also has a snake beastman as a mate—that snake was the one responsible for hauling me out of the seas.”

King abruptly clenched his fists, his golden hair spreading out in the water and dancing about despite the lack of waves.

“Snake beastman? He’s also here?”

His icy and deep tone caused Jean to involuntarily shiver. She felt a chilliness creep up from the depths of her heart. All of a sudden, she felt that King was incredibly foreign to her.

“Yes… yes. Since Bai Qingqing is here, he must also be here.”

“Send Jean back.”

King shoved the bubble, and a merman instantly swam over and caught hold of her.

Jean asked anxiously, “Where are you going?”
