Sea World of Beasts: The Sinful Mermaid - She's a Heartthrob

Chapter 5 The Mad Shark Tribe
Overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information, it took her a while to process it all.

Does Bai Ni like her?

Bai Qi wants her to join the Whale Giant Tribe as a live-in wife?

Thinking of that simple and straightforward big guy, Chao Sheng felt a rare sense of non-repulsion; he was the first beastman to show her kindness since she arrived in this strange world.
If she absolutely had to choose a beastman to marry today, Bai Ni would indeed be a good choice, but joining the whale giant tribe? That wouldn't do.

Orcas are social animals, but she isn't.

She was already tired of being around other people, and she really enjoyed the life of finding food on her own these past few days.

"Let's go back first, the treasure hunt is about to begin." Bai Qi knew that this was something that couldn't be forced, so she said considerately.

“Okay,” Chao Sheng replied, head bowed.

Almost all the orcs had come ashore and stood together according to their respective tribes, while the orcs without tribes huddled alone in a corner.

Bai Qi led Chao Sheng to the location of the Whale Giant Tribe. When Bai Ni saw Chao Sheng coming over, his dark, round eyes suddenly lit up, and he leaned close to her, asking, "Chao Sheng, how was your shopping? Did you see anything you liked?"

"..." Chao Sheng looked at the clingy male beastman in front of her, a smile flashing in her eyes, "He's alright, but I didn't see anything I liked."

"Okay, alright," Bai Ni comforted her. "The best stuff is yet to come. If there's anything you like, remember to tell me."

Orcs in the polar seas rarely use crystal coins, only when there are trade markets or caravans.

Bai Ni was exceptionally capable and had hunted many prey for the tribe, for which Bai Pei rewarded him with a large amount of crystal coins.

The thought that his crystal coins would finally have a use made Bai Ni's lips curl into a smile.

A whale shark-like beastman, over two meters tall, stood on the stone platform. His beast-like skirt was etched with unique patterns, and he looked quite old. "Everyone brought a lot of good things to this treasure hunt," he said.

"Recently, our whale shark clan discovered a special kind of grass that can actually cleanse everyone's mental sea!"

"I brought it here today to share with everyone."

As soon as he finished speaking, an orc carefully brought up a blade of grass. The emerald green grass looked ordinary, but it seemed to have a mysterious glow. Just looking at it from a distance made one feel clearer-headed.

Elder Whale Shark looked at the shocked and solemn expressions of the orcs below the stage with satisfaction, and proudly introduced, "We will give it the Life-Giving Sea Spirit Ginseng."

"The Sea Spirit Ginseng is priced at three thousand crystal coins per plant. I will sell these Sea Spirit Ginseng to everyone before the Treasure Hunt ends." As he spoke, Elder Whale Shark's face crinkled with a smile, and he looked smugly at the shocked faces of the orcs below upon hearing this news.

Below the stage, Bai Qi sought Bai Pei's opinion. Bai Pei's face was somber, yet she seemed indifferent. "I'll buy a few plants to see how it goes."

Bai Ni's mental sea has recovered, so even if the Sea Spirit Ginseng is really useful, it's not such a necessity for Bai Pei anymore. She wants to wait and see.

"Everyone can move around freely now."

“All unmarried adult females must choose a mate before sunset today.”

"Ah, ya sha ah..." the scallop beastman sang again, and the grand and noisy treasure hunt began.

Chao Sheng stood there blankly, completely unfamiliar with the process and unsure of what to do.

Bai Ni lowered his head, standing nearly two meters tall like a big tree next to Chao Sheng, his eyes seemingly only seeing the little mermaid in front of him. "Chao Sheng, come on, I'll take you shopping."

After the treasure hunt began, many tribes displayed what they wanted to offer.

Beautiful deep-sea pearls, animal skins made of seashells, and some delicious salmon slices. Chao Sheng followed Bai Ni, carefully examining these items, occasionally stopping to take a second look at the pretty pearls.

Many sea beastmen were secretly watching this foreign female, surprised that she had survived until now, and also surprised that she had managed to attach herself to the most talented male beastman in the polar sea.

If she can successfully marry Bai Ni, she will also possess a fifth-level superpower. Ha, what a lucky female.

"Ha, I've finally found you."

A malicious voice sounded behind Chao Sheng. Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, a dark glint flashed in Chao Sheng's eyes. She turned around with a cold face and looked at the female. "Who are you?" Despite already having a guess in her heart, she still asked.

The female's features were ordinary, with distinctive freckles on her cheekbones and thick, wide lips. She looked at Chao Sheng with a sidelong glance and said, "Don't you recognize me? You didn't hold back at all when you killed my sister!"

"Oh!" Chao Sheng frowned slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes. "You are the Great White Shark from that day."

That reckless and extremely impulsive female great white shark.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Ru Sui glared at her angrily. She hadn't forgotten how she had killed Ru Tong with that seemingly harmless face. "Today, all the beastmen of our Mad Shark tribe are here. You killed Ru Tong, and I will make you pay with your life!"

"How dare you!" Bai Ni quickly pulled Chao Sheng behind him, afraid that the female would hurt Chao Sheng in the slightest.

Ru Sui looked at Bai Ni with deep fear in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and thought, "This wicked woman is a real menace. She managed to hook up with a new backer with us so quickly!"

The orcs of the Mad Shark tribe slowly gathered around, their fierce, bell-like eyes fixed menacingly on Chao Sheng.

Nearly a dozen great white shark orcs tightly surrounded Chao Sheng and Bai Ni, seemingly ready to attack at any moment to avenge their tribe's precious female!
Chao Sheng hid behind Bai Ni and gently rubbed his elastic muscles, asking innocently, "Bai Ni, what will be the punishment for killing an orc?"

Bai Ni stood firmly in front of Chao Sheng, the cool touch on his arm interrupting his thoughts. The gentle touch was elusive, sending a tingling sensation straight to his heart. He lowered his eyes, concealing the darkness within them. "The Arctic Sea does not prohibit fighting between orcs."

"That's good." Chao Sheng was relieved. She didn't regret killing Ru Tong, after all, shark meat was indeed delicious. However, she didn't like trouble. It wouldn't be good if this caused hostility from the beastmen of the entire sea area.

Surrounded by the orcs, Chao Sheng showed no fear, even a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, completely disregarding them.

After these few days, her physical injuries have healed, and thanks to the filth in Bai Ni's spiritual sea, her witch power devoured the filth and transformed it into her own power, making her even stronger than before.

"It's her! Kill Rutong!" Ru Sui pointed at Chao Sheng and shouted viciously. This hateful female dared to laugh?

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding orcs erupted in a frenzy, eager to rush forward and tear Chao Sheng to shreds.

"How dare this foreign sinner kill one of our noble females?!"

"Kill her, avenge Rutong!"

"Kill her!"

The shark-like orcs roared that they would avenge Rutong, when a sudden gust of wind swept in, and three wind blades struck the shoulders of the orcs who were speaking.

Bai Ni brandished a wind blade with his right hand, coldly raising an eyebrow as he looked at them as if they were corpses. "Do you want to die?"

The fierce wind carried energy capable of killing invisibly, and the oppressive aura of the fifth-tier orc quickly rendered these shark orcs speechless.

“Bai Ni!” A female slowly walked forward from behind the tribe. She had a mature and beautiful appearance, but she wore an expression that seemed innocent. She was wearing a white seashell animal garment, and a long white pearl chain hung on her curvaceous figure.

“What are you doing?
