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

Chapter 65 The Detoxifying Leaf

Despite the whale sharks' best efforts to guard the sea spirit ginseng, the beastmen still managed to steal quite a few.

Chao Sheng licked the fish oil off his hands and recounted the events of the day to Yin Xu in detail.

"That's about it. Sea Spirit Ginseng is no longer exclusive to the Whale Shark Clan."

The sea shimmered, and the pure white moonlight shone down, casting a serene silver glow.

It seemed like they hadn't eaten grilled fish on the shore for a while, so Chao Sheng suggested they go ashore to eat grilled fish.

Bai Ni rubbed his half-full stomach, looking tired, and propped his chin up with one hand, dozing off while looking at the moon.

Actually, he wanted to take a nap in the afternoon, but that hateful orc Gu Xian stayed here, much to the chagrin of the orca.

After finally seeing Gu Xian off, Yin Xu returned from hunting.

He had no choice but to go ashore with them.

The sea breeze ruffled Silver Floss's translucent white fur. Her deep brown eyes narrowed contentedly, and Silver Floss gave a faint smile. "That's good too. At least the beastmen of the polar seas won't have to risk their lives for that Sea Spirit Ginseng anymore."

Sea cucumber, 300 crystal coins per plant.

An orc could never accumulate this many crystals in his entire life.

"?" A hint of doubt flashed in Chao Sheng's indifferent eyes, then she instantly remembered that she hadn't told Yin Xu about the poisonous nature of the sea ginseng.

"that……"

"Actually, sea cucumber is poisonous."

"What?" Yin Xu's smile vanished, and she stared at Chao Sheng in shock, her beautiful brows furrowing tightly. "Poisonous? How could it be poisonous?"

"Sigh!" Chao Sheng sighed almost imperceptibly, her face falling with melancholy. "It's a very slow-acting poison; the beastmen can't detect it at all."

"It takes a long time for it to work in the body."

"He will suddenly die on the day the poison takes effect, and there will be no cure."

“Then…” Yin Xu was stunned, his dark brown eyes widening in disbelief. Even though he knew that there was probably no one in the entire polar sea area more capable of dealing with the Black Filth beastmen than Sheng Sheng, he still couldn’t help but ask, “Then… is it possible that I’m seeing things?”

So many orcs have used Sea Spirit Ginseng. If Sea Spirit Ginseng is really poisonous, wouldn't that mean... a large number of people in the entire polar sea would die?

As far as he knew, many tribal orcs went bankrupt buying sea spirit ginseng, because only those orcs with supernatural abilities could survive.

The result, however, is that these orcs may not have died from the mental sea riot, but rather from the poison of the sea spirit ginseng?!

Chao Sheng closed his eyes heavily, his tone carrying a hint of certainty, "It shouldn't be wrong."

After the beastmen left, she went to observe the sea spirit ginseng. After various identifications, she confirmed that it was indeed a poisonous mustard.

"Then..." Yin Xu suddenly couldn't speak, a trace of sorrow passing through her heart. Those who use Sea Spirit Ginseng are all beastmen with superpowers.

If they all die, it means that the polar seas will lose a huge fighting force.

A hint of desolation crept into her deep brown eyes, and a feeling of suffocation settled in her heart; Yin Xu couldn't quite describe her feelings.

That's how it is with snow bears; after the accident, only a handful remained.

In the end, he was the only orc left.

"Actually, there is a way to cure this poison." Chao Sheng hesitated, but still said it. Yin Xu was her beast husband, and she could tell that he also wanted to save those beastmen.

"What?" Yin Xu looked at her in surprise, then seemed to realize something, her dark brown pupils contracted, "Is it like last time?"

"Sheng Sheng, how about... we just let it go?"

"These kinds of things happen because of their fate; they can't blame anyone else."

"Huh? What?" Chao Sheng asked, puzzled, "Which time was 'last time'?"

"The time you saved Bai Ni."

After helping Bai Ni detoxify last time, Sheng Sheng was listless and dazed for several days. Bai Ni was Sheng Sheng's beast husband, so saving him was understandable.

But if we save so many orcs this time, won't that force Sheng Sheng to her death?

Chao Sheng understood what Yin Xu meant and chuckled softly, "What are you thinking?"

"What I mean is that there is a type of leaf that can counteract this poison."

"I'm still not sure where the leaves are right now."

“Maybe on land, um…” Chao Sheng paused, then, thinking that the habitat of Liu Jie had also changed, speculated, “It might also grow in the sea.”

"I'm not even sure if I can find it in the polar waters."

The polar seas have harsh climates, and what is called land is just Icelandic icebergs, which are completely unsuitable for plant growth.

After hearing this, Yinxu was silent for a moment. "How about this, Shengsheng, tell me roughly what this leaf looks like."

“I’ll look for it while I’m hunting these days.”

“But…” Chao Sheng hesitated, a hint of worry flashing in her purple eyes, “Won’t this be too tiring for you?”

Bai Ni is almost always sleeping now, as she is also very busy. The prey at home is all caught by Yin Xu.

If she had to add the task of finding Bai Hanye, she was afraid that Yinxu would be too tired.

"It's alright." Yin Xu sat down next to Chao Sheng, gently stroking her soft little head with her warm hand, slowly guiding Chao Sheng's head to her shoulder. Her dark brown eyes deepened for a moment. "Sheng Sheng, have you forgotten? I have plant-type abilities. No beastman is more suitable than me."

Since it won't trouble Sheng Sheng, let him go find it.

He might not care about the life or death of an individual orc, but perhaps out of a shared sense of loss, he couldn't bear to watch an entire race perish.

……

After enjoying the sea breeze for a while, Chao Sheng woke up Bai Ni, who was still half asleep, "Bai Ni, don't sleep here, go downstairs to sleep."

The open black eye rolled around, seemingly confirming the identity of the person in front of it, before slowly waking up and lazily yawning.

"Shengsheng?"

Her voice was soft and melodious, and her two muscular arms easily embraced Chao Sheng, as if she had found a familiar harbor. Her eyes closed wearily, and her voice was hoarse, "Okay, Sheng Sheng, let's go, let's go home~"

Seeing this, Yin Xu's eyes darkened for a moment. She reached out her hands to pull the white robe off Chao Sheng, her tone revealing a hint of concern, "It's too heavy, let me do it."

"Ugh~ Get out of here!"

Seemingly sensing something, Bai Ni, who was already fast asleep, irritably rubbed against the back of Chao Sheng's neck, impatiently shooing away this annoying guy.

Chao Sheng shook her head helplessly, "It's okay, I'll take care of it."

Therefore, he declined Yin Xu's kind offer.

Bai Ni was heavy, but Chao Sheng wasn't stupid. She quietly stretched out two thin vines to support Bai Ni and share some of her weight.

"duang!"

"Coo coo! Coo!"

Chao Sheng took Bai Niyou back to his home in the ice cave and threw him onto his straw mat.

He rubbed his eyes wearily, intending to go to sleep.

My thoughts were a jumbled mess, and my heart felt heavy, as if a large stone was pressing down on it.

Even deep in his dreams, his brow remained furrowed.
