âOf course, thereâs no problem.â
Bluepool was delighted. He quickly sent the other mermen out, then said to her, âTo prevent mermen from forgetting to keep watch because of sneaking looks at you, theyâre unable to look inside the cave from the places theyâre guarding.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief. However, she took Bluepoolâs hand and brought him to the deepest part of the cave.
Bluepoolâs heart pounded.
Bai Qingqing had chased off all the mermen, and the children had also been left with their father. Could it be that she wished to mate with him and give birth to merman babies?
âBluepool, donât get angry after hearing this,â carefully said Bai Qingqing as she leaned against the wall.
Bluepool asked, perplexed, âAs long as you donât leave, what other things you do will make me angry?â
âEn⦠Erm, Iâm not Jean.â
After Bai Qingqing said that, she no longer dared to look at him. She lowered her head as if she was accepting death.
Bluepool finally noticed that something wasnât right with Bai Qingqing. He consoled her by patting her on the shoulder, but it frightened her so much that she jumped up.
âSit down. Donât be so nervous. Itâs as if Iâm going to beat you up.â
Bluepool was aggrieved. Had he ever showed off his fierce side in front of her before? He was only a little fiercer when fighting with Parker yesterday. She hadnât been very scared of him back then.
She had remained very calm later on. Why was she suddenly scared of him now?
âI know that you arenât Jean. Youâve changed your name to Bai Qingqing.â Bluepool immediately said, âIâll call you Bai Qingqing in the future, not by your old name.â
Bai Qingqing felt that it might be a little more secure after sitting down, so she did. Her back was still tightly pasted against the wall. âIâm saying that⦠Iâm not a female of your tribe.â
Bluepool paused, the smile on his face froze up, and he felt a little angry. âYouâre going on about that again.â
Seeing that he still didnât believe her, Bai Qingqing cut to the chase.
âIâm a female from the land, and I know that Jean you guys are talking about. She has blue hair and looks very beautiful. She lived in a place called the âCity of Beastmenâ on the land, and she has a mate who is the king of his tribe, the ape king.â
Bluepool looked at her, appearing a little panic-stricken.
Bai Qingqingâs tone didnât sound as if she was putting up an act. This anxiety as if one had their life threatened wasnât something that could be acted out.
âBut King already said that youâre Jean. How can he lie?â Bluepool asked in disbelief.
âKing was unable to wrap things up. Youâve already brought me back. If he were to say that Iâm not Jean, then you guys would definitely ask to see Jean to verify the matter. The fact that the female is lost would be exposed.â
Bai Qingqing said, âIf I didnât agree, heâd harm my children. That was why I didnât deny it later on.â
A loud âboomâ erupted in Bluepoolâs mind. A seed of suspicion was sowed in his heart, and it rapidly grew and became a towering tree.
Kingâs attitude toward Bai Qingqing was very strange. Not only was he cold toward her, but he even allowed her mate from the land to see her. If she was a fake, then his actions could be explained.
Bluepool swayed, and he slid down weakly to the ground.
Anxiety, terror, and despair flashed in his eyes. The dark emotions became increasingly intense, almost emitting into the air.
âHow can that be⦠What are we going to do? ⦠Our tribe is going to die outâ¦â
âYou guys are fine. The one who should be feeling anxious is me. Parker told me that Jean is back.â
Bluepoolâs head shot up, his eyes flashing with a delighted glow and his lips grinning broadly. âIs that true?â
Bai Qingqing was unable to smile. She only nodded.
Bluepool rubbed his palms together, unable to suppress his agitation. âThatâs great, thatâs great.â
