“Of course, there’s no problem.”

Bluepool was delighted. He quickly sent the other mermen out, then said to her, “To prevent mermen from forgetting to keep watch because of sneaking looks at you, they’re unable to look inside the cave from the places they’re guarding.”

Bai Qingqing heaved a sigh of relief. However, she took Bluepool’s hand and brought him to the deepest part of the cave.

Bluepool’s 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?

“Bluepool, don’t get angry after hearing this,” carefully said Bai Qingqing as she leaned against the wall.

Bluepool asked, perplexed, “As long as you don’t leave, what other things you do will make me angry?”

“En… Erm, I’m not Jean.”

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 wasn’t right with Bai Qingqing. He consoled her by patting her on the shoulder, but it frightened her so much that she jumped up.

“Sit down. Don’t be so nervous. It’s as if I’m going to beat you up.”

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 hadn’t been very scared of him back then.

She had remained very calm later on. Why was she suddenly scared of him now?

“I know that you aren’t Jean. You’ve changed your name to Bai Qingqing.” Bluepool immediately said, “I’ll call you Bai Qingqing in the future, not by your old name.”

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. “I’m saying that… I’m not a female of your tribe.”

Bluepool paused, the smile on his face froze up, and he felt a little angry. “You’re going on about that again.”

Seeing that he still didn’t believe her, Bai Qingqing cut to the chase.

“I’m 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 ‘City of Beastmen’ on the land, and she has a mate who is the king of his tribe, the ape king.”

Bluepool looked at her, appearing a little panic-stricken.

Bai Qingqing’s tone didn’t sound as if she was putting up an act. This anxiety as if one had their life threatened wasn’t something that could be acted out.

“But King already said that you’re Jean. How can he lie?” Bluepool asked in disbelief.

“King was unable to wrap things up. You’ve already brought me back. If he were to say that I’m 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.”

Bai Qingqing said, “If I didn’t agree, he’d harm my children. That was why I didn’t deny it later on.”

A loud “boom” erupted in Bluepool’s mind. A seed of suspicion was sowed in his heart, and it rapidly grew and became a towering tree.

King’s 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.

“How can that be… What are we going to do? … Our tribe is going to die out…”

“You guys are fine. The one who should be feeling anxious is me. Parker told me that Jean is back.”

Bluepool’s head shot up, his eyes flashing with a delighted glow and his lips grinning broadly. “Is that true?”

Bai Qingqing was unable to smile. She only nodded.

Bluepool rubbed his palms together, unable to suppress his agitation. “That’s great, that’s great.”
