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

When he realized this, Su Yu finally understood why the mermaids abandoned Qi but did not drive him out of the tribe, but allowed him to live in the area where the sacred tree was.

That sacred tree, perhaps, is not an ordinary sacred tree.

They abandoned the cubs in that sea area, and at the beginning, perhaps more than one person was abandoned.

She also suddenly realized that during the years that Qi had lived in that sea, when the mermaids came to look for him, they never went into the sea, but always called him from the shore.

According to the mermaids' nature of loving the sea, when they see the sea water, they can't help but come down to take a dip.

In the sea area where Keqi lived, there was no other merman except him.

This in itself is full of weirdness.

When Su Yu reacted, she was filled with panic. She reached out her hand towards Qi tremblingly, her red lips opened, wanting to remind him, but she couldn't utter a word.

Even...her body is gradually becoming transparent.

This also means that this story that happened ten thousand years ago is about to come to an end.

Qi didn't notice anything strange about Su Yu. He was just happy that his people were saved.

The witch doctor was in a heavy mood and struggled with her discovery. In the end, she did not remind Qi, but took him directly to find a little cub who was already on the verge of death.

She asked Qi to take care of the cub, and after seeing Qi come into contact with the cub, she used her healing power on him.

Sure enough, her healing ability was useful to the little guys again.

The problem, as expected, lay with Qi.

The witch doctor was silent, with an extremely complicated expression on her face. She opened her mouth, sighed, and said with a vicissitude: "Qi, come with me."

Qi was not a stupid person. He also keenly sensed something and followed the witch doctor in a daze.

The witch doctor took him to find the chief, and told him her discovery seriously and respectfully. At the end, she closed her eyes slightly and said, "The way to heal the tribesmen lies in Qi."

"Chief, although I don't know what's going on, my healing ability will work on any tribesmen I have touched."

When Neil heard this, the first person he looked at was not Qi, but the leader.

He thought of what the leader had said before.

Qi will agree to become the high priest sooner or later.

Neil suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

Chief, did she already know that the tribe members would get sick?

Neil didn't dare to think too much.

Qi looked at his hands in bewilderment: "I, I don't know what's going on."

The first generation mermaid leader still had a gentle expression. She looked at Qi, sighed softly, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, this is the ability given to you by the Lord of the Sea."

"I have told you before that you are the high priest chosen by the Sea God. You already possess the power of a priest. Abandon, now only you can save those sick people."

The first mermaid leader stood up, bowed slightly to Qi, put his hand on his chest, and saluted him solemnly: "As the leader of the mermaid tribe, I am here to ask you to become the high priest of the mermaid tribe on behalf of those sick tribesmen."

"If the mermaid tribe no longer has priests to protect them, this kind of thing will continue to happen in the future. After a long time, the tribe... will be completely extinct."

The witch doctor and Neil also solemnly requested Qi to become the high priest of the mermaid tribe.

The personal request from the first generation leader was indeed something Qi could not refuse.

For the sake of those young mermen cubs, Qi couldn't say no.

He opened his thin lips slightly, and finally said helplessly: "Chief, please don't do this. I...I agree."

The first generation mermaid leader finally showed a genuine smile on her face, and she said sincerely: "Qi, I thank you on behalf of my tribe."

"However, since you have become the chief priest of the mermaids, you should not use the name Qi anymore. It is unlucky. I will change your name. From now on, you will be called Earl. How about that?"

Abandoned? No, Early himself didn't like the word abandoned. It made him remember deeply how he was abandoned by his tribe and his parents.

Now that he had a new name, he felt novel and happy, not to mention that this name was given to him by the leader himself.

Early pursed his lips and smiled shyly, "I like it very much. Thank you, Chief."

The little mermaid who was once abandoned by her tribe was accepted again, had a new name, and a new...home.

Next, the chief informed the tribesmen that Early had become the first high priest of the mermaids, and told them that the high priest could heal those sick members of the tribe.

After hearing the words of their leader, the tribesmen who were originally dissatisfied with Early felt less dissatisfied, but they still remained skeptical of Early.

He was considered incapable of maintaining the position of high priest.

Early didn't react, but continued to follow the witch doctor to treat the sick tribesmen.

Su Yu was powerless to stop it. She could only watch as the contaminated power of the sea god in Early's body became increasingly strong. She wanted to help purify it, but she couldn't.

Even though he had the contaminated power of the sea god, Early did not feel uncomfortable at all and was still happy every day.

But... he seemed to have forgotten that there was ever such a person as Su Yu.

Every day when he came home or went out, he no longer chatted with her like before. His aura became stronger and stronger, his pressure became heavier, and his appearance became more and more like when he and her first met in the forbidden area.

By the time Early successfully passed the transformation period, Su Yu's entire body had become completely transparent, and a transparent barrier prevented her from coming into contact with Early.

Now, she completely became a ghost floating outside of time and space.

She watched the mermaids spend fifty years in peace, watched them carve the stone statue of the god of the sea, watched Early become stronger and more like a high priest day by day.

That warm boy who was once called Qi seemed to have been forgotten in the long river of time along with her.

It was not until a hundred years later that the sacred tree by the sea suddenly withered and a large amount of black gas emerged from its roots.

The black gas quickly spread across the island. The mermaids who were contaminated by the black gas became sick again and turned into half-human, half-beast monsters that could only bite people.

Although the first generation mermaid leader had anticipated this, he still couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw this strange black air.

Especially when she found that Early alone was unable to stop the spread of the black gas, she decisively gave an order, ordering all the mermaids to quickly retreat from the island.

Although the mermaids were frightened, they retreated quickly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the entire island was empty, leaving only Early, her, and Neil who were still resisting the black air.

Early sat under the sacred tree, staring deeply at the first generation of mermaid leader, smiled bitterly, and said softly: "You are going to abandon me again, right?"

The leader of the mermaid tribe choked and said with difficulty: "No, I will not abandon any of my tribe."

She promised him: "Early, just hold on a little longer, okay? After I send my people away, I will come back and take you away."

Early looked at her and believed it.

He murmured: "Okay, I'll wait for you, you must come."

The first generation mermaid leader didn't dare to look at him, and responded hastily with a "yes", then left the island with Neil.

Suddenly, Early was the only one left on the island, oh no, there was also a dying sacred tree.

The first leader of the mermaid tribe walked a little further away from the island. She paused, took a last deep look in the direction of her former home, closed her eyes, and said, "Go and inform all the tribesmen that the high priest Early has gone to see the sea god to protect their escape."

In the end, she abandoned the child again.
