Holding the script, I want to give up.

"Wow, I look so beautiful in my mermaid form!" She started admiring herself again. She looked at her purple-green gradient fishtail, her almost transparent and fluorescent fish ears, and her gradient hair—it was all so beautiful it was practically growing on her heart.

"You stay here and don't move. If you try to run away, you'll lose your life!"

"Other orcs will bring you food."

The wolf tossed her into a small hut, transformed into human form, and donned a leather skirt. Her tanned skin and toned muscles gave her a sophisticated look!

"How can they all be so beautiful!" Her eyes lit up.

"Oh! What's your name?"

"My name is Tongtong."

Although the mermaid was frightened, she still held onto her fishtail and looked up at him. The tears falling from the corners of her eyes betrayed her true feelings.

"Oh? Interesting, a multicolored pearl!"

"My name is Cangxi."

The wolf had originally planned to go hunting, but seeing the mermaid's tears, he bent down to pick up the variegated purple and green pearl, hoping to exchange it for something good. He also knelt down to patiently comfort her. After all, female mermaids were very rare.

"What do you want to do?!"

Tongtong jumped three feet high, assuming a defensive posture, while Cangxi was caught off guard by the impact and had to cover her nose with both hands.

"Stupid and clueless."

Seeing her silly look, Cangxi guessed that it was her first time coming ashore. He tried to comfort her but was brutally attacked instead!

Female mermaids who manage to leave the deep sea are either expelled for making mistakes, or they are neglected and bullied by other female mermaids, and their tribes don't care whether they live or die.

He glanced at her variegated fishtail and the rather worthless pearl, clearly the latter.

Mermaids place great importance on the purity of their bloodline and generally do not interbreed with outsiders. The darker the color, almost black, the purer the bloodline of a mermaid capable of producing black pearls. Lighter colors, almost transparent... not to mention mixed colors, mean they are simply unwelcome and lead miserable lives.

"You!...You actually mocked me!"

Seeing that he wasn't angry, Tongtong grew bolder and swung her fishtail at him, trying to slap him to death!

"Now that you've regained your strength, stay here for a while. Our wolf pack will protect you."

Cangxi easily dodged the attack and then turned to leave, locking the door behind her.

"I don't believe you! My mother said the beastmen on the shore are all wicked!"

Tongtong conjured up two legs and casually pulled a fur skirt around her waist. She prepared to escape through the window when the night was dark and the wind was high.

"This damn feeling of being broken!" If Feng Xi hadn't forcibly altered her fate, she wouldn't be in such a sorry and wretched state.

"Are you going to jump or not?"

Tongtong waited until midnight, opened the window, and saw a huge, stagnant pond. She hesitated whether to run away.

"No, I have to give it my all!"

Tongtong transformed into a fishtail again. Seeing the leather skirt still there, she leaped into the pond without hesitation and swam towards the edge. Once ashore, because she rarely used her legs, she walked unsteadily like a drunkard. Just as she was about to escape the tribe, she was discovered by the werewolf on night watch. He shot her with an arrow! She endured the pain, pulled the arrow from her shoulder, and ran towards the lake.

The werewolf transformed into its original form and chased after her, its speed more than doubling, until it vanished without a trace! Thus, her escape ended in failure after being intercepted.

"What terrible luck! Poor kid!"

A few days later, she was finally able to leave her room and see the light of day again!

“There have been strange occurrences in the heart of the forest lately. I was worried you might run away, so I came to call you to prepare. We will take you with us later.”

So, eat your food properly.

Cangxi pushed open the door and entered with food. Seeing that she had gone from looking listless to looking excited, he smiled with delight.

"Okay."

Although Tongtong was eating, her mind was already plotting how to escape halfway through the meal.

In the evening, Tongtong was finally allowed to go outside to enjoy the scenery. Although it was brief, it was much better than staying indoors all the time.

“Come up here, you have difficulty walking.”

Cangxi transformed into his original form and knelt down in front of her. She didn't stand on ceremony either, transforming into a fish tail and half-riding on its back, wrapping her arms around its neck.

"Are you their leader? Why are you running ahead and they all obey you?"

Tongtong was convinced that the black wolf in front of her was undoubtedly the leader, and its actions clearly indicated that she couldn't escape!

"Okay, hurry up, I need to speed things up."

After Cangxi finished speaking, he sped up and ran towards the center of the forest. Tongtong had no choice but to hold on tightly to him to prevent her from falling.

......

In the heart of the forest, all kinds of animals and birds, whether they fly in the sky, swim in the water, or run on the ground, flock to the center of the forest.

"This scene... I feel like I've dreamt about it somewhere before." She shook her head, trying to remember, but couldn't recall where. She gave up and continued watching the shocking scene.

Seeing that he had stopped and squatted down, Tongtong got down to look around, wondering which part of the lake was closer to her.

Auspicious signs appeared in the sky: a female phoenix was reborn from the ashes. She had barely manifested her form and before she could even transform into human shape, she was snatched away by a nine-tailed fox. The beastmen, having no time to process this turn of events, scattered in all directions! Tongtong seized the opportunity to leap into the lake and disappear.

"Oh my god, I missed out on a great opportunity without even realizing it! Cangxi, you really... I'm going to cry my eyes out." She wiped away non-existent tears.

"So here's the question: who is Su Li?" She followed Tongtong curiously, pretending to be a ghost.

Moonlight spilled across the lake, shimmering like starlight. Tongtong, hidden in the water, observed the two figures on the shore: a nine-tailed white fox, not entirely pure white, with a touch of red at the tip of its tail; and the golden phoenix that had been carried away! As they fought, they transformed into human form!

Isn't that Su Li and Feng Xi? Su Li was gripping Feng Xi's neck, veins bulging on her hand! Feng Xi might die in the blink of an eye.

"Speak! Why do you possess her primordial essence?"

"Feng Xi, you're really something!"

Su Li swung her sword backhand, rendering her unable to move.

"You...without me, you'll never know her identity in this life!"

Feng Xi laughed wildly, disregarding her image.

A splash—the sound of Tongtong splashing in the water broke their conversation. Su Li looked at Tongtong; those eyes seemed familiar, as if she were looking through Tongtong at someone else. Tongtong felt a chill run down her spine. She had stumbled upon a murder scene and was starting to panic.

"Sorry, I swam to the wrong place. Please continue!"

Tongtong was just a weakling with a combat power of only level two! She had already planned her escape route. After saying that, she swam off in the opposite direction.

"You...come here."

Su Li beckoned to her with his finger, and Tongtong turned around and met his eyes. Her own eyes flickered for a moment! Involuntarily, she swam towards him, and after reaching the shore, she walked towards him again, like a walking corpse.

"Seduction techniques?" She looked at Tongtong's condition and thought it seemed somewhat similar, but she wasn't sure.

Why are you running around everywhere?

Cangxi transformed into its original form and ran towards Tongtong, picking her up and pretending to run away, but was stopped by Su Li.

"She's mine! Little Wolf King, don't try to take her from me."

Su Li was certain: she was that person's reincarnation!

"She is my partner!"

Cangxi threw her on his back. Tongtong came to her senses and found herself on the wolf king's back, looking completely bewildered.

"Wow, classic scene, awesome!"

"Ha! If she doesn't have your scent on her, then she doesn't count! Besides, did she even agree to it?"

Su Li transformed into her original form and roared at it. The Wolf King silently put Tongtong down; he dreaded the sudden silence!

"Um, I just want to go back to the deep sea, is that okay?"

After understanding what was going on, Tongtong timidly raised her hand. They were at least at the eighth rank or higher, far beyond her capabilities! Even the phoenix's combat strength was at least at the sixth rank!

"Can't!"

Cangxi and Suli answered at the same time, completely disregarding her wishes!

"That's really asking too much of people!" she said, rubbing her forehead in exasperation.

A wolf and a fox started tearing at each other! Taking advantage of their distraction, Feng Xi kidnapped Tongtong!

"Hey~ Stop fighting, my wife is missing!" She could only watch helplessly from the sidelines.

The wolf king was seriously injured while Su Li was completely unharmed; this was clearly cheating.

Meanwhile, Feng Xi, in the distance, transformed into her original form to conserve her strength, grabbed Tong Tong's shoulders with her claws, and flew her towards the highest peak! Tong Tong, who was afraid of heights, had already fainted in mid-air from fright.

"Am I afraid of heights?" She looked at Tongtong's reaction and fell into self-doubt again.

Feng Xi left her casually in the nest, then transformed into human form and focused on healing his own wounds, not caring when she would wake up!

"Child, you're so carefree. Aren't you afraid she'll wake up and run away, or that they'll catch up with her?" She glanced at Feng Xi silently, as if she were a fool.
