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

Chapter 75 Lianxun's Death
Lian Xun lay prone on the sand, coughing violently, which aggravated the wounds on her face, causing blood to seep out again.

"what!"

Lian Xun cried out in pain, and a ripple of emotion appeared on Bai Qi's numb face. She patted his back anxiously, "Xun, what's wrong?"

"My lady, it hurts so much..."

"enough!"

Bai Pei coldly uttered these words, a deep disgust rising in her eyes as she looked at Lian Xun, "You like poisoning, don't you?"

"I spent five hundred gold coins and a hydra orc to buy this."

Bai Pei waved her hand gently, and a sea beastman walked in front of Lian Xun with a specially made sea gourd. He lifted Lian Xun's chin and poured the gourd's slime onto Lian Xun's face.

"Ah!"

"What is this?!"

The wounds on her face swelled up immediately upon contact with the toxic sap, and her thin, frail body began to tremble uncontrollably. "Ah... Mistress, it hurts so much..."

Bai Qi looked at Bai Pei pleadingly, "Mother, it was a mistake to look for him."

"He deserves to die, but please give him a quick death!"

"Don't torture him like this..."

"Torture him?" Bai Pei's face showed deep anger. She looked at Bai Qi, and the affection in her eyes was gone.

With a slight movement of her left hand, a force struck Bai Qi in the abdomen, causing Bai Qi to double over in pain, "Ah..."

"He poisoned Ani, causing her to suffer from the pain of the herb, and she almost lost her life."

"He pushed Lil and Yak into the Black Rift Valley, subjecting them to the torment of the mental sea turmoil, and they nearly lost their lives."

"Bai Qi, this is the orc you like!"

"You've already harmed your brothers, isn't it? Are you planning to harm me too?"

"No...no..." Bai Qi weakly retorted, seemingly aware of how weak and feeble her explanation was, and then consciously shut her mouth and remained silent.

"Ah...ah!"

Lian Xun was lying on the ground in agony, his body convulsing and rolling uncontrollably, his voice hoarse as he cried out for help to his wife, but he was in too much pain to utter any other words.

He really didn't intend to harm the wife's brother and younger brother. That time with Bai Ni, he genuinely didn't know that an ordinary blade of grass could be so powerful.

This time, he just wanted to kill those two damned male orcs.

He didn't know Bailey would come.

Bai Pei had heard enough of Lian Xun's screams. A murderous glint flashed in his dark eyes, and a wind blade struck Lian Xun's heart, ending his life.

Bai Qi's heart pounded as she stared in disbelief at the lifeless Lian Xun. The beastman who was perfectly fine just moments ago was gone.
Before she could even react, Bai Pei's cold voice fell again.

"Bai Qi, the Whale Giant Tribe can no longer tolerate you."

"You should kill yourself."

What?! Bai Qi looked up in shock at her mother, who had loved her for so many years, wondering if she had just imagined it.

How could a mother possibly want her to die?

"Sister..." Bai Niqing couldn't help but call out, his eyes filled with struggle. He hadn't expected his mother to be so determined this time.

Chao Sheng took in Bai Ni's expression and tentatively asked, "Bai Ni, do you want to save her?"

"I..." Bai Ni looked at Bai Qi, who was covered in a mess, and felt that she was very different from the gentle and refined sister he remembered. He lowered his eyes and said in a sad and disappointed tone, "I don't know."

"Bai Qi, do you want me to do it myself?"

Bai Pei's eyes were cold, as if the one about to die wasn't her own daughter at all. She was a mother, but more importantly, she was the leader of the Whale Giant Tribe, and she had tolerated Bai Qi far too many times.

This time, she could not and did not want to tolerate it anymore.

"I..." Bai Qi stared blankly at Bai Pei, her face filled with disbelief. Did her mother really want her to die?
She has already lost the one she loves, isn't that enough?
Her gaze then fell on Bai Ni, who was looking down, as if she had grasped a lifeline, "A-Ni!"

"Ani, say something!"

Do you want your sister to die too?

"Have you forgotten who used to take care of you?"

Yes, yes, A-Ni will definitely not let her die. A-Ni is now a seventh-tier beastman. Mother will spare her this time for A-Ni's sake.

Bai Ni lowered her head, her eyelashes trembling slightly, biting her lip tightly, not daring to look at Bai Qi.

A cool hand reached out and grasped hers, casting a shadow over her vision. Chao Sheng stepped forward and stood between Bai Qi and Bai Ni.

"Sister, don't you love Lianxun very much?"

"He's dead now, why don't you go and keep him company?"

"You..." Bai Qi's face darkened, and she looked at Chao Sheng with hostility. How dare she speak to her like that?
She was, after all, her beastly husband's sister.

Was Lianxun right before? Is this really a vicious female?
"You let me tell A-Ni."

Chao Sheng stood firmly in front of Bai Ni, her crystal-like eyes flashing with a cold light. "No, I won't give you that chance."

"After we got married, have you ever come to see Bai Ni even once?"

"No."

"The reason you've sought me out so often is to get me to marry into your family, so that you can increase your chances of becoming the leader."

"Perhaps you once truly loved Bai Ni, but now you only see Bai Ni as a tool you can use at will. Why bring up past affections?!"

Bai Qi was in excruciating abdominal pain, her face was pale, and fine beads of water seeped from her forehead, quickly blending with the seawater.

She clutched her stomach and screamed in anguish, "What do you know?"

"My success in becoming the leader is also for Ani's good. Would I not take care of my own younger brother after becoming the leader?"

"Besides, it's for A-Ni's own good that you're marrying into the family!"

"Now that you've become a live-in wife, you naturally won't dare to beat or scold Bai Ni like those other females."

"Of course I'm thinking of him."

Even though she had her own selfish motives, she was doing it for A-Ni.

She did all these things only after confirming that they would benefit A-Ni.

"Never mind." Bai Ni suddenly raised her head, her dark, round eyes dim and helpless, pleadingly looking at Bai Pei, "Mother, please let my sister go this time."

"My sister was doing well before she met Lianxun."

"Now that Lianxun is dead, it's good to give her a chance. Maybe she will return to her former self."

Bai Pei listened quietly, then looked at Chao Sheng with an unreadable expression: "Do you think so too?"

Chao Sheng forced a smile, her expression strained. "If this is Bai Ni's idea, I will respect it."

Just then, Ya Kela knelt down with Ya Zhu one step behind Bai Qi, pleading, "Please, Chief, show mercy. We don't want to lose our wives either."

Since their marriage, male orcs and female orcs have been forever bound together, especially males with special abilities, whose bond with female orcs is unbreakable.

If Bai Qi dies, no other female beastmen will be willing to accept them.
