ys off to rest and reflect before taking on new assignments.""Okay, chief, she's already gone to rest."Although she privately signed a contract in the face of adversity, it was because of this contrac...The mermaid woman only revealed her head, so everyone could only see her fair and delicate face. Unlike the roughness of the beastmen, it was a cold and sharp kind of beauty. Her long, pale blue hair was wet and stuck to her scalp, not at all like a drowned chicken's mess.
The mermaid had a pair of azure eyes, curiously staring at the ripples in front of her. Because of the gently swaying water, her beautiful shoulders and collarbone were occasionally revealed. Her fair skin seemed to be coated with a layer of iridescent sheen, incredibly captivating.
The little dumpling also opened its round tiger eyes, curiously looking at the other party, occasionally sniffing its nose and struggling to jump out of the animal skin pouch in front of Lianyi's chest. Lianyi patted its head, and it finally calmed down, only making small "awooo awooo" sounds.
Ringlets soothed the curious dumpling, smiling and said:
"Look, that's a mermaid beast! She's the ruler of the sea. If her voice and beauty enchant you and you step into the water, you'll become her prey in an instant! You, a tender little thing like that, are the tastiest treat!"
Upon hearing her mother's words, the little cub immediately suppressed his curiosity and burrowed back into the fur bag, only showing his behind and small tail. This made the female merfolk in the sea twitch their eyes.
"Don't mind him, little rascal. He's just too curious and doesn't know the dangers of the Beast Realm. I need to teach him what it means to be vigilant from a young age."
Ripples smiled sweetly.
I am the ripple you speak of, and also the messenger of the Beast God.
After receiving a positive reply, the female immediately said:
The divine messenger, please follow me. Our clan leader and shaman have been waiting for you a long time.
As it spoke, one head plunged into the sea, revealing its beautiful turquoise tail, as if leading the way ahead.
Both Du He and Meng frowned. Was the other party intimidating the gods, or were they intimidating them
He let out a cold snort and said:
"I went into the sea with the messenger. You stay here with the little ones."
Though unwilling, Meng nodded. After all, his beast form was that of a bear, ill-suited for long stays in the sea.
Ripples waved her hand and said softly:
"No, you all come with me to visit the merfolk. We don't get a chance like this often, at least give yourselves some bragging rights for the future."
Du He and Meng listened, immediately straightened their spines and followed Ripple closely.
The mermaid, Weilan, entered the water slowly. She was observing the attitude of the messenger god. If the other party let her carry him to the merfolk's territory, she could confirm that this messenger god was not as divine as the legend said, and he might not necessarily gain the favor of the Beast God.
But the next second, she froze, her mouth agape and eyes wide, even forgetting to move her tail fin. It wasn't until ripples, with his followers in tow, slowly approached her that she came back to her senses.
When Ripples' foot first touched the water, her beastmark flickered slightly. The seawater seemed afraid to wet her leather boots, parting automatically to reveal soft sand. The sand, as if summoned, rolled and churned constantly, smoothing the path into a gentle incline for Ripples and her party to easily reach Azure who was waiting in the sea.
"Aren't you going to the merfolk's territory Let's go!"
Ripples lazily said.
Duo He Meng was feeling very proud at this moment, knowing that the divine being could control water. They weren't surprised to see each other because they had met before.
The little dumpling, out of curiosity, crawled out from the fur bag again. It stretched out its tiny paws to touch the seawater separating them with a layer of water film. After wetting its paws, it curiously licked them. As a result, the salty and fishy taste of seawater made the little one stick out its tongue in disgust.
The ripples directly pulled the other person out, and slapped their butt, sneering:
"You're so greedy, stuffing everything into your mouth, you deserve it!"
After Tuanzi spat and fussed, she nestled in Lianyi's arms, acting like a well-behaved baby.
And the blue whale had put away all its probing thoughts, wagging its tail fin to lead the way forward, and casually opening its mouth to send out a silent sound wave, notifying its kin that the messenger of the Beast God had arrived, and truly was a divine envoy.
Actually, there's no need to notify the Orchid Clan. The Mermaid Clan's chief and shaman already know. The movement of the sea parting itself was quite noticeable; even the mermaid shaman couldn't make the sea behave so obediently.
The Mermaid King and the Shaman put away their arrogance. Their tribe's ability to produce salt meant that all beast tribes needed it and had to trade with them, naturally elevating their status. So when they heard about the Beast God Envoy, they were skeptical.
For merfolk, the cold season doesn't have much of an impact on them. During this time, they move to the deep sea, where the water is warm. This allows them to avoid the wind and snow while also resting and recuperating.
They will not reappear on the surface of the sea until the warm season next year. The hot season is when they occupy the islands and sun-dry their salt. The resources in the sea are abundant, no less than those in the forest, and all kinds of fish are very plump, so they rarely go hungry, unless they encounter a once-in-a-century storm at sea.
Mermaids want to eat some special things, like honey, fruits, and beast meat, and they also need to exchange with various tribes of beasts. However, they don't lack salt, and they have dried fish of all kinds that can be exchanged. Therefore, they have always been secretly superior to the beast tribes.
Because of the ripples' actions, the merfolk tribe leader and shaman went directly to the nearest merfolk island. They asked Lan to bring the divine envoy to live on the island, so as to avoid turning the entire sea upside down and causing the sea surface to be turbulent.
As soon as Lan stepped onto the island, her fish tail transformed into slender, straight legs. Her body was adorned with a colorful sleeveless top and a matching short skirt, seemingly formed from her fish scales. It was quite beautiful, with an exotic charm.
"Messenger, this is our chieftain Koi! This is the Shaman!"
Lan noticed the angel was quite interested in her skirt. It was made of her scales, so she immediately introduced herself to both parties. After doing a good job of introducing herself, she quietly retreated from the rocky cave.
"I'm Lien, it's nice to meet Li and Wu."
With a smile, Lian'er sat down cradling Tuanzi in her arms.
“It is an honor for us that the Divine Envoy has come to our Mermaid Isle. We have also heard that the Divine Envoy travels far and wide, bringing new food and methods of preserving food to each tribe of beastfolk, benefiting them greatly. This year, our mermaid clan has also benefited, exchanging sea salt for many new foods. This year's cold season will not leave us hungry.”
Li is a tall and muscular merman who stands at two meters and two centimeters tall. Despite his imposing physique, he is nearly three hundred years old. Merfolk have a longer lifespan than beast races, which is due to their environment and diet.
Ripple smiled, understanding the meaning behind the words of the carp elder: their mermaid clan was doing well. They were warm and well-fed, and they traded fairly with other beast tribes without harming their interests. It seemed like there was nothing that needed divine guidance.ve to be careful!
