The male mermaids of the mermaid tribe are born with a water-repellent bead. Only male mermaids of the mermaid tribe have the water-repellent bead.

If a male mermaid presents the water-repellent beads to a future female, the female will fall in love with the male mermaid and the two will become partners.

Water-repellent beads can help land females adapt to life in the sea, but land females are used to living on land and are unwilling to live in the sea.

Mermaids can go to land, but if they stay on land for a long time, their skin will develop xerosis, becoming dry, itchy, and peeling.

This results in very little intermarriage between mermaids and land orcs, as female mermaids are extremely rare, and many adult male mermaids are unable to find a partner.

Yu overheard Lu Qingqing's thoughts and his heart began to pound. He knew that the reason Lu Qingqing fell in love with him was entirely due to the water-repellent beads in her body.

Despite this, he would still blush and his heart would beat fast when faced with a female's confession.

He wanted to give the water-repellent beads to his future partner. Just now, when he saw the little female fall into the water, he wanted to save her in a hurry, so he put the water-repellent beads into her mouth.

He just wanted Lu Qingqing to hold the water-repellent beads in her mouth so that she could breathe in the water without having to swallow them.

Unexpectedly, she accidentally swallowed it. How should he get it back?

Lu Qingqing happily swam around Yu and said, "Thank you for saving me. My name is Lu Qingqing, I'm 19 years old. What's your name?"

"My name is Yu, and I'm the same age as you."

[It turns out that he is the third prince of the mermaid tribe. In order to compete for the throne of the mermaid tribe, his half brother killed Yu and pulled out his reverse scales. Yu finally died tragically at the hands of his brother.]

[Poor Third Prince, he died tragically.]

[Such a handsome mermaid prince, I don't want him to die. If he marries me and lives with me on land, maybe he can escape his brother's pursuit. ]

Yu's heart skipped a beat.

He never mentioned that he was a member of the royal family of the mermaid tribe. This little female was able to guess that he was the third prince of the mermaid tribe just by his name. It was incredible.

The little female said that he would die miserably at the hands of his brother. Is that true?

The mermaid tribe has three princes. He is the youngest, the third prince, and above him are the eldest prince and the second prince.

Which brother wanted to kill him?

Yu wanted to hear more of the little female's thoughts, but suddenly he couldn't hear them anymore.

"Yu, your tail is so beautiful,"

[The system detected an orc with strong genes, Yu, the third prince of the mermaid clan, a fifth-level orc. The system listed Yu as a candidate for the host's partner. ]

Lu Qingqing was stunned by Yu's beautiful fishtail and couldn't help but touch it. The fishtail was very smooth and felt really good to the touch.

Yu couldn't help but shudder. The little female accidentally touched his sensitive spot and his face turned red.

"Little female, you cannot touch the tail of a male mermaid orc casually, only..."

Yu's face turned red like a ripe tomato, and she said shyly: "Only your partner can touch it."

Lu Qingqing was excited and took the opportunity to confess to Yu, "You just saved me, and I touched your fish tail, so I have to be responsible for you."

"How about you marry me, become my fourth beast husband, and live with me on land?"

The tips of Yu's ears turned red and a hint of hesitation flashed through his mind. The beauty of this little female just met his aesthetic standards, but it was a pity that she was a female on land.

If this little female was a mermaid, he would have accepted her courtship without hesitation. Unfortunately, she was a land female, and they were destined not to be together.

In hundreds of years, no male mermaid has ever paired up with a female mermaid on land.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, their ancestors formed mates with females on land and lived on land for a long time. Their skin became cracked, painful, itchy and peeling, and they eventually became ugly and were rejected by the females.

The ancestor's partner abandoned him and erased the ancestor's mark of the beast. Finally, the ancestor returned to the mermaid tribe and committed suicide shortly afterwards.

From then on, mermaid males and land females no longer intermarried.

If he forms a mate with this little female and lives on land, will he become like his ancestors, suffering from xerophthalmia, peeling skin, becoming ugly, and eventually being abandoned by the little female?

A hint of disappointment flashed through Yu's heart. "Little female, mermaids and land orcs have never intermarried. I'm sorry, I can't marry you."

Lu Qingqing was stunned. She was a popular figure on land. The orcs who pursued her would circle the tribe several times. She was always the one who rejected other people's courtship.

The first time she took the initiative to pursue a male orc, she was rejected by him.

Lu Qingqing was unwilling to give up, but she didn't want to give up.

"Yu, why can't the mermaids mate with the land beastmen? Is it because they can't reproduce?"

There is not much description of the mermaids in the original novel, and Yu is just a cannon fodder who dies not long after he appears. Lu Qingqing doesn't know much about the mermaids.

Yu shook his head sadly, not wanting to voice out his worries, "Little female, go back quickly! Your beastly husband will be worried if he can't find you."

After saying that, Yu took a deep look at Lu Qingqing, wanting to engrave her appearance into his bones, and finally turned around and swam towards the depths of the sea.

……

Jay came back from hunting and didn't see Lu Qingqing, so he asked about the salt-making team that was busy on the beach.

"Have you seen my partner?"

Everyone was confused, "Isn't the goddess with you? We didn't see her."

Jay's heart skipped a beat and his eyelids twitched.

He transformed into a beast and flew in the air, searching for Lu Qingqing while calling out, "Qingqing, where are you?"

Lu Qingqing's backpack floated down from upstream. The basket was empty and all the seafood inside had run away.

Jay's breathing hitched and his eyelids twitched even more.

Could the little female have fallen into the sea? Or was she kidnapped by the mermaids in the sea?

It was all his fault that he insisted on going hunting and leaving the little female alone. If anything happened to the little female, how would he explain to Wu Xiao and Bai Heng?

"Qingqing, where are you? Come out soon!"

Lu Qingqing, who was fishing in the water, heard Jay's call. She caught a big fish and floated to the surface.

"Jay, I'm here."

Jay's breathing tightened. "Qingqing, why did you go into the sea? Come out quickly. It's very dangerous in the sea."

He had already made the worst plan. If he couldn't find Lu Qingqing's whereabouts, he would jump into the sea to look for her.

Jay is a landlubber and would be drowned if he jumped into the sea.

"Jay, look, I caught a big fish. We have lunch today."

Lu Qingqing walked out of the water holding the big fish and threw the fish onto the shore, where the fish jumped around happily.

Jay landed beside Lu Qingqing, hugged her in his arms, and said in a hoarse voice: "Qingqing, you are a delicate female, you don't need to hunt, and you can't go to the sea to catch fish casually in the future."

"The sea is too dangerous. If you were washed away by the sea, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life, and I would not live alone."
