The Beast World's Beloved: After I Transmigrated into a Book, I Became a Heartthrob

Su Yu suddenly looked at the first generation mermaid leader.

The male mermaid leading the way also frowned, but he remained silent and said nothing.

Qi was also stunned by her words for a moment, but after he came to his senses, he shook his head and said, "Chief, I don't want to."

"I don't know anything, how can I be the high priest of the tribe? What's more...isn't the high priest chosen by the Lord of the Sea? He won't choose me."

Nowadays, only large tribes with thousands of orcs have high priests, and the high priests in the tribe are chosen by the Beast God himself.

The mermaids do not worship the Beast God, their belief is the Sea God. Over the years, the Sea God has not chosen a high priest from the mermaids. And how could he, a person abandoned by his parents and his tribe, be the high priest chosen by the Sea God?

Qi just thought that after the leader went out, he was stimulated by other large tribes and wanted to set up a high priest puppet in the tribe.

After all, with a high priest, the other large tribes will not look down on their mermaid tribe.

The first generation leader had a complicated expression. She sighed softly and said, "No, you are wrong, child. You are the high priest chosen by the Sea God."

She paused and said, "The sacred tree moved unusually last night. It gave us guidance and designated you as the first high priest of the mermaids."

Qi was completely stunned, but the first generation leader's eyes were gentle: "I know that you have been resentful of the tribe for so many years. I understand you in my heart. It doesn't matter if you don't want to be the high priest."

Qi was silent for a moment, then said in confusion: "Chief, let me think about it first."

The first generation leader was gentle, nodded slightly, smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't force you, but you are about to enter the transformation period now, so it is better to make a choice as soon as possible before entering the transformation period."

Qi responded softly, did not stay any longer, turned around and left with mixed feelings.

Su Yu didn't say anything and wasn't in a hurry to leave with Qi. He stood in the tree hole with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes, watching the smile on the face of the first generation mermaid leader gradually fade.

The male mermaid who led them watched Qi disappear before he turned to look at the first generation leader. With a complicated expression, he asked softly, "Leader, do you really need him?"

The first leader did not speak. Her beautiful face showed a bit of fatigue. She closed her eyes slightly and was silent for a long time before she spoke slowly: "The high priest of the Ars tribe predicted that the mermaids will be destroyed in a hundred years, and he is the only way for the mermaids to survive."

"Neil, if I could, I wouldn't want a child to bear such a burden, but I have no choice."

Neil was silent too. He closed his eyes and said with some shame, "But we have never paid attention to this child. In fact, our tribesmen even expelled him to the sea because of some unfounded rumors."

"If Qi becomes the tribe's high priest, will he really help the tribe when it comes to a life-or-death situation?"

The first-generation leader fell silent again. She didn't know that she couldn't gamble on someone else's conscience, especially since this child had been abandoned by the tribe.

After a moment, she raised her head and looked at Neil firmly: "Neil, I have no choice."

If the moment really comes to the life and death of the tribe, she will make Qi make the right choice.

It didn't matter if he resented her.

Neil stopped talking.

Su Yu looked at the first generation leader deeply, and before Qi discovered that she had not followed and came to find her in a panic, she walked out of the tree hole.

Sure enough, just as she walked a distance, she saw Qi running towards her with a pale and panicked look on his face.

Seeing that she was still there, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her with some grievance: "Why didn't you catch up?"

Su Yu raised her eyebrows slightly and turned the tables: "Who told you to walk so fast? I can't keep up with you."

Qi blinked: "Okay, it's my fault."

He was thinking about something just now and did not notice whether Su Yu followed him or not.

Qi cautiously extended his hand to her, his golden eyes looking at her expectantly and anxiously: "To make sure you can keep up, can I hold your hand and walk with you?"

He was so well behaved that Su Yu was reluctant to bully him, but she didn't hold his hand either.

She reached out and rubbed his half-grown, long golden curly hair tied into a low ponytail, and said, "Why are you holding my hand? Aren't you afraid of being seen and laughed at by others?"

Now in the eyes of other orcs, she is invisible and non-existent. In the eyes of the orcs, Qi holding her hand is like holding air.

Not to mention, Qi is now a sub-adult male orc, and he can't be as intimate with him as he was when they were children. He still has to maintain the appropriate distance.

Qi's eyes dimmed slightly, and he was a little disappointed: "...Okay."

However, he soon cheered up again and chattered with Su Yu about the interesting things that happened while going out hunting today, but did not mention to her what the leader had just said.

The two returned to the underwater cave. Now, the underwater cave had been carved with a witch formation by Qi to isolate the sea water. Su Yu and Qi decorated the interior to be warm and cozy.

Yes, that's right, abandon the magic circle.

According to him, this was the inheritance his father passed down to him, and he was born with the ability to do it. However, due to his current weak strength, the magic arrays he carved were not very lethal, but some magic arrays to assist in life.

Su Yu had also seen the witch formation he carved. The spell was like tadpoles. They knew her, but she didn't know them. She felt dizzy after looking at it for a long time.

Su Yu directed Qi to grill the fish as usual, while she sat on the straw nest that Qi had made for her and watched him busy himself.

The fish was grilled, and Qi couldn't hold back his words.

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at her again and again, then asked her in a low voice: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Su Yu looked at him and remained silent.

What could she say?

What could she say?

Did she want to persuade Qi not to be the high priest? Did she want Qi to give up being the high priest? Did she want to tell Qi, will you die if you become the high priest?

She couldn't tell.

It's literally indescribable.

After spending these days together, Su Yu has come to her senses. She knows that she is now in a time and space ten thousand years ago, which is the past.

So no matter what she said, did, or tried to stop him, in the end, Qi would still follow his original path and make his original choice.

Su Yu pursed her lips, but even so, even so, she still wanted to say: "...will you be the high priest of the mermaids?"

Can you just not do it and ignore them? They are not good and they will abandon you again.

Su Yu wanted to say this, but her throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, making her unable to make a sound.

Qi looked at her blankly and confessed, "I don't know."

"However." He smiled gently: "If the tribe needs me, and the sea god needs me, I will eventually become the high priest, right?"

Qi looked at Su Yu nervously: "If I become the high priest, will you leave me?"

He said quickly, "If the price of becoming the high priest is losing you, then I won't be the high priest."

Su Yu: “…”

Then what the hell are you talking about?
