Traveling through the world of beasts, various big guys are chasing after your pets!

"Yue'er, don't talk nonsense. Jiaojiao is not the kind of person you say she is!"

Yue'er became even angrier when she saw that her brother was still protecting He Jiaojiao.

"Brother, I think you've been bewitched by this female." Yue'er said, walking around Lan Yu and approaching He Jiaojiao. "They say the orcs on the shore are treacherous and cunning. Today, it seems the rumors are true."

"Haha!" He Jiaojiao was almost laughing out of anger. Where did this uneducated person come from, yelling at her? Lan Yu was willing to indulge him, but that didn't mean He Jiaojiao would do the same. She immediately retorted, "Oh, no wonder everyone says the mermaids are arrogant and domineering. Seeing you today, it really is true!"

"Lan Yu, I've already told you the solution. Whether you believe it or not is up to you." He Jiaojiao said, holding Mo Ran's hand. "My partner is still waiting for me to come home, so I won't accompany you anymore."

Seeing He Jiaojiao was about to leave, Lan Yu became anxious and rushed forward to stop her. Yue'er was so angry that she wanted to pull her brother back, but she didn't expect that Lan Yu would spit blood with just a slight pull.

A mouthful of bright red blood spurted out. Not only Yue'er, but also He Jiaojiao were frightened.

"Brother, you..." Yue'er looked at Lan Yu in disbelief, then fixed her gaze on He Jiaojiao, and finally on the animal skin bag He Jiaojiao was carrying. "You wicked bitch, you actually stole my mermaid pearl. Are you trying to kill me?"

Yue'er screamed and rushed over to grab the mermaid pearl.

He Jiaojiao was just planning to teach this arrogant little female a lesson, but unexpectedly, Mo Ran stood right in front of her.

"If you dare to bully Jiaojiao again, don't blame me for being rude."

It can be seen that Mo Ran has been trying his best to endure it. If the person in front of him was not Lan Yu's sister, he would probably have taken action.

Yue'er was frightened by Mo Ran's roar. In the tribe, no one dared to treat her like this. After all, she was the only remaining female and had always been raised in the palm of her hand.

"Yue'er, get out!"

Lan Yu staggered forward, grabbed Yue'er's hand and pushed her out.

"Jiaojiao, I..."

Lan Yu seemed to want to explain the matter of the mermaid pearl, but he was too weak. If Mo Ran had not stepped forward to catch it, he would probably have fallen to the ground at this moment.

"Brother, you must quickly retrieve the Mermaid Pearl, otherwise you will surely die..."

Yue'er, who was thrown outside, obviously did not leave. She stood at the door and shouted loudly.

He Jiaojiao knew how important the mermaid pearl was to the mermaids, but she thought that since Lan Yu had been able to retrieve it, there would be no problem in the short term. However, seeing Lan Yu becoming increasingly weak, even vomiting blood, He Jiaojiao realized that the consequences were much more serious than she had imagined.

He Jiaojiao didn't want anything to happen to Lan Yu, so she quickly took out the mermaid pearl and stuffed it into Lan Yu's mouth.

The round beads, when they touched Lan Yu's lips, automatically transformed into a warm current that merged into Lan Yu's body. Immediately afterwards, Lan Yu's breathing suddenly became much more stable, and he looked less frail.

Well, Lan Yu should be fine!

He Jiaojiao was a little distressed. Without the mermaid pearl, how would she go back? She had promised everyone that she would go back as soon as possible.

Perhaps because she was too worried, He Jiaojiao felt dizzy. If Lan Yu hadn't supported her in time, He Jiaojiao would have fallen down.

"What...what's going on?"

Lan Yu became visibly panicked, and his voice trembled unconsciously.

"I'll do it!" Mo Ran was still calm and immediately took out a piece of animal crystal from He Jiaojiao's animal skin bag. It was the one Zhutian had given her before. She didn't expect it to come in handy.

The energy of the beast crystal successfully entered He Jiaojiao's body. She immediately felt much better and was supported by Mo Ran to sit aside.

"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry!"

Lan Yu had almost recovered by now. He stood before He Jiaojiao, head bowed like a child who had made a mistake. He had thought he could at least hold on until He Jiaojiao was returned, but he hadn't expected his body to react so strongly after being separated from the mermaid pearl.

"It has nothing to do with you. I was just anxious and felt a little dizzy." He Jiaojiao, supported by Mo Ran, walked to the side and sat down. "Actually, none of this matters. The most important thing now is, how can I get back to land?"

Mo Ran was also a little anxious. He and He Jiaojiao looked at Lan Yu together, hoping that he could solve the current difficulties.

Lan Yu pursed his lips. It was precisely because of this that he did not take the mermaid pearl back when He Jiaojiao came here. He thought that he was strong enough and should be able to hold on until Jiaojiao returned.

"I remember that your shark pearls can be separated from the body. Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Mo Ran was having trouble understanding this. He'd heard that when mermaids pair up, the male would give his pearl to the female to show he wouldn't have two minds. Logically, the pearl leaving the body shouldn't have caused Lan Yu such significant harm.

Seeing Mo Ran looking at him suspiciously, Lan Yu didn't know how to explain for a moment.

"Under certain circumstances, the shark pearl can indeed leave the body without harming the original body. But..."

Hearing that there was a solution, Mo Ran felt relieved. After all, he didn't really want He Jiaojiao to stay at the bottom of the sea forever. It was too quiet here, and without Zi Yi and the others arguing, he really wasn't used to it. Most importantly, although Mo Ran was willing to help Lan Yu, he didn't really like him, and he didn't want He Jiaojiao to be with him.

"Since there is a way, can we give it a try?"

"no!"

"no!"

As soon as Mo Ran finished speaking, he heard He Jiaojiao and Lan Yu refuse in unison, and he was very surprised.

Lan Yu was also surprised. He looked at He Jiaojiao in confusion, wondering if He Jiaojiao knew how to retrieve the mermaid pearl. That shouldn't be the case. The mermaids had barely interacted with outsiders over the years, so He Jiaojiao shouldn't have known.

He Jiaojiao was also a little surprised. She had thought that Lan Yu was willing to be her partner, but she had not expected him to refuse so bluntly.

"The mermaid's mermaid pearl can only enter the partner's body without harming itself when the mermaid is in a relationship." Lan Yu explained.

Mo Ran was stunned. He didn't expect that the method Lan Yu mentioned was this.

After a period of silence, Mo Ran was the first to break the situation.

"Jiaojiao, why don't you and Lan Yu become a couple?"

He Jiaojiao looked up in surprise. She could sense that Mo Ran didn't want Lan Yu to join them. Now that he suddenly changed his mind, he probably just wanted to take her away as soon as possible.

But this is unfair to Lan Yu.

"Lan Yu, what do you think?"

Lan Yu was still in shock, but when he heard He Jiaojiao asking him, his fair face instantly turned red, like a ripe apple.
