Jing was demoted to a commoner and posed no threat to Yu's life, so Yu's life-and-death crisis was resolved.

The fates of several of Lu Qingqing's cannon fodder beastly husbands were tampered with by her.

The queen pulled Yu aside and said, "Yu, I can sense the scent of your water-repellent beads on your partner. Did you give the water-repellent beads to the little female? Otherwise, how can a land female breathe under the sea?"

Yu did not deny it. "Yes, when I first met the little female, she accidentally fell into the sea and couldn't swim, so I had to lend her the water-repellent beads. Unexpectedly, she swallowed them by mistake."

The Queen: "You two are destined to be together. I am happy for you to be together."

"You have lived on land for a while. Mother wants to ask you, have you ever heard of a little female on land who can make fine salt?"

Yu was stunned. Wasn't the female that his mother wanted to inquire about Lu Qingqing?

Could it be that the fine salt produced by Lu Qingqing affected the coarse salt business of the mermaid tribe?

If the Queen Mother knew that the little female who made the fine salt was Lu Qingqing, would she blame her?

Yu: "I heard that the Queen Mother was asking about this female. What's the reason?"

"The coarse salt from the mermaid tribe is not selling well this year. We prepared a large amount of coarse salt, but only sold one-third of it."

"The queen mother sent people to inquire with the tribes on land and found out that a young female on land had developed fine salt of better quality. The exchange price was cheaper than that of the mermaids. Most of the tribes on land went to buy fine salt."

"We mermaids rely on selling crude salt to exchange with the orcs on land for the animal skins and fruits we need every year. If we can't sell crude salt next year, the mermaids won't be able to eat fruits."

Yu was silent. The mermaids lived in the sea and their main food was seafood from the sea. However, there were no fruits in the sea. If they wanted to eat fresh fruits, they could only exchange animal skins and food at the land market.

The fine salt developed by Lu Qingqing has a great impact on the mermaid tribe. One third of it was sold this year, all thanks to the fact that those remote tribes did not know about the fine salt.

Before long, the news that the Wolf Tribe is selling fine salt will become known to everyone, and then no one will buy coarse salt from the Mermaid Tribe.

"Mother, the person who developed the fine salt was none other than my partner Lu Qingqing."

The queen was shocked when she heard this. "Are you telling the truth?"

Yu: “Absolutely true.”

The queen waved to Lu Qingqing and even changed her address, "Qingqing, come here."

Lu Qingqing had just secretly turned on her mind-reading skill, and she heard every word of the conversation between Yu and the queen. She was feeling uneasy at the moment, wondering if the queen would blame her for stealing the coarse salt business from the mermaids.

She walked to the queen's side and pretended not to hear anything, "Mother, what do you want to see me for?"

The queen kindly took Lu Qingqing's hand and looked at her with increasingly gentle eyes. "Qingqing, Yu said that you were the one who came up with the recipe for developing fine salt? Is that true?"

Lu Qingqing blinked and showed an innocent expression, "Yu is right, it was indeed my invention."

The queen's eyes lit up. "Qingqing, you are such a smart and good female. We mermaids have been developing coarse salt for over a hundred years, but we still can't make such pure fine salt. Tell me quickly, how do you make such pure fine salt?"

[If I can get the secret recipe of fine salt from the little female, the mermaids will be able to make the same fine salt in the future.]

Lu Qingqing overheard the queen's thoughts and knew that she wanted to get the recipe of fine salt from her.

Salt is a necessity for orcs to replenish their energy. If it is sold too expensively, many orcs will not be able to afford salt. If she is not around, the chief will also privately raise the price of fine salt, causing many tribes to be unable to afford fine salt.

If the mermaids could also make fine salt, the two tribes could check and balance each other and control the price of fine salt.

Anyway, Yu is the future king of the mermaid tribe, and she is the future queen of the mermaid tribe. Telling the queen the recipe would not be considered as leaking it to outsiders.

Lu Qingqing: "The method of making fine salt is not difficult. As long as the coarse salt is purified and the impurities are removed, a higher quality fine salt can be obtained."

The Queen asked curiously, "Little female, can you tell me how to purify it?"

Lu Qingqing leaned close to the queen's ear and whispered the purification method to her. After listening to it, the queen showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Thank you, little female, for telling me the purification method. I will not let you suffer any loss. If the mermaids succeed in making fine salt, I will give you 10% of the profit from selling the fine salt. Are you satisfied?"

Lu Qingqing was delighted, "Satisfied, your daughter-in-law thanks you very much, mother."

The queen couldn't wait to share the purification method with the king. After saying goodbye to Lu Qingqing and others, she returned to the king's bedroom.

……

Yu brought Lu Qingqing and Long Yin to his palace.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals moved the gifts to Yu's bedroom. After they left, Lu Qingqing excitedly grabbed a handful of pearls, her eyes shining.

"I'm rich, I'm rich. I have so many top-quality precious pearls. I will string them into pearl necklaces, bracelets, and anklets. I will also decorate my skirt with pearls and design a beautiful skirt."

Seeing Lu Qingqing's money-obsessed expression, Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "Little female, do you like pearls so much? I have several large baskets of pearls in my bedroom. If you like them, I'll give them all to you."

Lu Qingqing was shocked and said in disbelief: "How many...how many baskets of pearls?"

"Yes, the thing I have the most is pearls." Yu took Lu Qingqing's hand and led her to a treasure house.

The treasure house was sparkling with all kinds of pearls, including white, pink, black, gold, etc. The colors of the pearls were so diverse that there were several baskets full.

Lu Qingqing was stunned.

Yu: "These pearls were my toys when I was a child. These baskets of pearls were taken out from the shells. This small basket of pearls is the tears I shed when I was a child."

Mermaid orcs don't cry easily, but their tears will fall to the ground and turn into pearls, which are of higher quality and have a better luster than pearls produced by clams.

"Qingqing, if you like, all the beads in this room are given to you."

Lu Qingqing stared with her eyes wide open. Which girl doesn’t like shiny treasures?

Any basket of pearls in the treasure house would be worth a lot of money if sold in the 21st century. She made a fortune this time.

"Yu, thank you, I like it very much." Lu Qingqing hugged Yu's waist excitedly and took the initiative to offer her sweet kiss.

Seeing this, Long Yin, who was standing by, felt his forehead throbbing and a hint of jealousy flashed through his heart.

[Isn't it just pearls? What's so great about that? Tomorrow I will go find some big clams and take out some pearls to give to the little female to please her.]

Lu Qingqing was not polite at all. Yu's things were hers. She waved her hand and put all the pearls in the treasure house into the space.

Yu and Longyin had shocked expressions on their faces.

The little female waved her hand, and the pearls in the treasure house disappeared. Where did all those things go?
