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

Su Yu felt depressed. She looked at Qi unhappily and muttered, "No, I can't bear this responsibility."

"This is a major event in your life. As a friend, I cannot provide you with any substantive advice. I can only advise you to think carefully about whether the mermaids are worth your hard work and dedication."

She paused and continued, "But no matter what choice you make, if I can be with you, I will always be with you and will not leave."

Su Yu smiled and said, "After all, you are the only one who can see me now."

Qi listened, and felt a little more at ease. He said solemnly: "I will think about it carefully. We also agreed that you can't leave me casually."

Now in Qi's heart, if he had to choose between Su Yu and the mermaids, he would still choose Su Yu.

To him, she is the most important person in the world, the friend who grew up with him, his closest partner, and the vague delusion that he hides deep in his heart and cannot touch.

When he was most lonely, she was the one who accompanied him. When he was injured, she was the one who applied medicine to him while cursing at him.

When he was a child, he even vaguely felt that Su Yu was what he imagined Am to be like.

Gentle yet powerful.

But when he grew up, he also knew clearly that Su Yu could not be his mother.

It's impossible to be his Eminem.

She was like a unique gift given to him by this terrible world.

"Alright, alright. The world is big, but eating is the most important thing. Let's eat and sleep well first." Su Yu clapped his hands, pointed at the grilled fish and said, "If you don't turn over, the fish will get burnt."

Qi hurriedly turned the grilled fish over. After a lot of effort, the fragrant grilled fish was finally out of the oven, and the two of them had a full meal.

Of course, most of the time he just abandoned it and ate it. Su Yu had no feeling of hunger or fullness, so he only ate a little and stopped eating most of the time.

After eating and drinking, Qi processed the prey he had hunted today and stored it in preparation for the coming winter.

Today's winter is different from what Su Yu knows. Once winter comes, it is extremely cold regardless of the north or south.

The entire wilderness seemed to be covered by ice, and no matter where you hide, it will be useless.

The orcs of this era are stronger than those of later generations, and their strength is also greater.

So Qi went out hunting frequently these days to avoid going hungry when there was no food in winter.

The first generation leader of the mermaids seemed to really want to give Qi some time to think it over, and he didn't come to see him for three consecutive days.

Qi seemed to have forgotten about this matter. He took Su Yu busy hunting and storing food, and occasionally helped some old mermaids or young ones in the tribe.

On the sixth day, the first generation of mermaid leader couldn't help it anymore and sent the male named Neil to find Qi and asked him: "Have you thought about it?"

To Su Yu's surprise, Qi rejected the request of the first generation of mermaid leader. He said, "I have thought about it. I am sorry that I cannot become the high priest of the mermaid tribe."

"I am weak. Even if I become the high priest, I can't help the tribe. Please communicate with the sacred tree again and let the sacred tree make a new choice."

Neil was surprised by this. He paused and asked him, "Have you thought about it? Will you regret it?"

Qi nodded: "I have thought about it and I don't regret it."

Neil was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "I will tell the leader what you said."

The first generation leader heard Neil's answer and was silent for a long time before sighing, "I understand. Let him go first."

Neil frowned and said hesitantly, "But that prophecy..."

The first leader looked up at Neil and said, "It doesn't matter. He will agree in the end."

Neil didn't know what the first chief meant at first, until something happened in the tribe a month later.

On this day, Su Yu went out for a stroll and hunting with Qi as usual. It was already early winter, and although it had not snowed yet, the temperature had already dropped very low.

Su Yu and Qi returned to the mermaid tribe from outside. They planned to go straight through the mermaid tribe and head to the sea where the sacred tree was located, which would shorten the distance.

As soon as they came back, they smelled a strong scent of herbs in the air. The atmosphere in the tribe was extremely solemn. Every mermaid came and went in a hurry, and the entrances to the tree holes were blocked with animal skins.

Qi was stunned for a moment, then pulled a passing male merman to ask: "Arya, what happened in the tribe?"

Alya shook his head. "I don't know either. I only know that one of the kids is sick, and it seems to be very serious. The high priest told us to stay at home and not wander around."

He paused, looked at Qi and said, "It's getting cold lately, so you should go out less."

When Qi heard this, he suddenly became nervous. He was not afraid of getting sick himself, but of Su Yu getting sick. After thanking Alya, he hurriedly took Su Yu back to the sea and returned to the cave they shared.

After settling Su Yu down, the abandoned general felt a little worried and said, "Wait for me at home. I'll go out and take a look."

No matter what, that is his tribe. For him, the tribe is like a root.

He didn't want anything to happen to the mermaid tribe.

Su Yu realized something, looked at him deeply, nodded and said okay, and couldn't help but remind him: "Separate a little bit of the shark yarn and cover your mouth and nose, don't get infected and get sick."

She paused and sighed: "I'll go with you."

Qi nodded, listened to her, and wrapped himself tightly and went ashore obediently. If he was not afraid of scaring the tribesmen, he would have wanted to wrap Su Yu tightly as well.

After getting ashore, the two went straight to where the sick cub lived.

He did not look well, and the symptoms he displayed were those of a common cold, until Qi and Su Yu saw the cub's tail.

The cub could no longer maintain its human form on the shore. The scales on its short and fat fish tail were no longer shiny but had become extremely dull. Not only that, the scales were falling off in large areas.

The tender meat inside was exposed in the fallen parts, and some of the meat was already in a semi-corroded state.

Scales are one of the most important organs for mermaids. Once there is an abnormality in the scales on the tail, it means that the mermaid is extremely weak, his vitality will be greatly lost, and may even lead to death.

The cub's Am's eyes were red and swollen from crying. Her beast husband was supporting her, but he was very far away from the cub.

Now, beside him, there was only an old female with a pale green totem painted on her face, and a male with red eyes and a heavy expression.

The old female was a witch doctor in the mermaid tribe. She was using her healing powers to heal the cub. In addition to using her powers to heal, she had also applied green potion to the areas on the tail where the scales had fallen off severely.

When Qi saw the witch doctor take action, he felt relieved and thought that the cub would not have any problems this time.

But the moment Su Yu saw the cub's tail, his heart sank completely.

She saw it.

The tail of this little mermaid was wrapped with something that she was particularly familiar with.

The black, polluted power of the sea god that exudes strong malice and filth.
