"Xin'er, how about I go and talk to Hu Xiao?" He Yu suggested tentatively, seeing that Chu Xinyao was still hesitant.

Chu Xinyao's body trembled slightly. She turned around, her eyes showing visible panic, and refused, "No, no, it's not necessary."

"Xin'er," He Yu grasped Chu Xinyao's shoulders, "What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?"

Chu Xinyao lowered her head, not wanting He Yu to see the struggle and shyness in her eyes. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, "I...I'm just a little nervous, let's talk about this later!"

Sigh, she still couldn't bring herself to make such a decision suddenly.

He Yu was surprised; Xin'er's decision was truly unexpected.

“But if we don’t persuade Hu Xiao, he might sabotage our marriage ceremony.” He Yu frowned. Hu Xiao’s sabotage of Xin’er and She Mo’s marriage ceremony was still fresh in her mind. Fortunately, it was sabotaged, otherwise, if Chu Xin Yao had drunk that divine water, he wouldn’t have had a chance.

"This..." Chu Xinyao's beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly. She knew that what He Yu said was true, but she really couldn't make a decision for the time being, and she didn't want to strain her relationship with Hu Xiao because of this.

"Leave this to me! I'll talk to him. I won't make things difficult for you, and I won't let him ruin our marriage ceremony." He Yu stroked Chu Xinyao's head, smiling as he looked down at her.

"Yu, you're so kind, thank you." Chu Xinyao hugged his waist, moved.

"If you really want to thank me, then tonight..." he whispered in her ear, causing Chu Xinyao's pretty face to blush slightly.

Chu Xinyao gently pushed He Yu away, her face still flushed, and said coquettishly, "You're so annoying."

He Yu smiled, put his arm around Chu Xinyao's waist, and their eyes met, filled with deep affection. "Xin'er, no matter what happens, I will be by your side, protecting you and supporting you."

Tiger Roar's figure was exceptionally lonely. He leaned against a rock, looking dejected, and gazed at the sea with a dazed expression. The sea breeze carried a cool breeze, as if even the wind was mocking his helplessness.

His heart was filled with complex emotions, including the reluctance to lose Chu Xinyao and the frustration of being powerless to change the situation.

Just then, a teasing male voice broke his thoughts: "What's wrong? Weren't you rushing here? Why are you standing here in the cold wind looking like you're about to cry?"

"You're the one who's about to cry," Tiger Roar retorted stubbornly.

Fish Bubble leaned against the shore, his fish tail appearing and disappearing underwater. He had been slightly injured in the previous pirate attack, but he didn't care, as he could recover faster in the water.

He shook his head slightly, smiling, and said, "Alright, you didn't cry, but I will!" He joked, "So what happened to you? Didn't you go find a little female?"

Tiger Roar sighed and lay back. "Mermaid, tell me, why did Yao Yao choose Crane Feather instead of me? Wasn't I the first male beastman Yao Yao met? She was so good to me, so why wouldn't she accept me as her beast husband?"

Fish Bubble gave a flirtatious look, seemingly lost in thought.

"Aren't they going to hold a matrimony ceremony? As long as you haven't mated yet, you still have a chance to get what you want, like your Yao Yao." Yu Paopao's voice was full of temptation, and his words struck the depths of Hu Xiao's heart, touching his strongest desires.

Tiger Roar froze, turning to look at Fish Bubble, a glimmer of hope appearing in his eyes. "You mean..."

But then his eyes dimmed again. "Yaoyao is different. She believes in one person for life."

"Tch." Fish Bubble snorted disdainfully.

If the little female truly believed in a lifelong commitment to one person, she wouldn't have wavered between Tiger Roar and Crane Feather, nor would she have tried to explain the relationship between the three of them during his probing.

"Do you really believe the nonsense that a female only has one mate? Have you ever seen a female with only one mate? And the baby female isn't carrying a crane's offspring, is she?"

Hu Xiao remained silent, his heart in turmoil. "But, can I really do it?"

Fish Bubble nodded, a sly glint in his eyes. "Of course, Tiger Roar, if you're willing, I naturally have ways to change the little female's mind. After all, I'm a merman who knows the most advanced hypnosis magic." His merman bloodline did indeed allow him to learn hypnosis, but his even stronger fish-dragon bloodline made his abilities even more powerful.

A warm feeling welled up in Hu Xiao's heart, but he still refused, saying, "Thank you, but I don't want to do that."

A hint of anger tinged her alluring eyes—what a coward!

"I will not give up. I will use my sincerity to move Yao Yao and let her know that I am the best choice for her."

Just then, He Yu's voice came from afar, breaking their conversation. "Tiger Roar, can I talk to you?"

"Hey, the victor's here. Looks like he's here to show off. You'd better deal with him slowly; I don't want to see his face." The fishtail flicked in the sunlight, stirring up a mist and a rainbow appeared. The fish bubble's figure disappeared into the water, leaving only Tiger Roar to face the approaching Crane Feather alone.

Tiger Roar took a deep breath, straightened up, and looked firmly in the direction where Crane Feather had come from.

Sunlight bathed him, casting a golden halo around his figure, making him look like a warrior about to go into battle, ready to meet the challenge.

Crane Feather approached slowly, his steps unhurried, his shadow elongated in the sunlight, and a victor's smile on his face.

Hu Xiao found He Yu's smile extremely irritating, and his fists clenched involuntarily, but he quickly relaxed them again. "He Yu, I know that you and Yao Yao are about to hold your marriage ceremony, and I respect Yao Yao's choice. But I will not give up. I will use my sincerity to move her and let her know who is the best choice for her."

He Yu was somewhat surprised by his words, but in that case, it seemed that he didn't need to do anything anymore, and he didn't need to painfully push Xin'er into someone else's arms.

He laughed and said, "Alright then."

Hu Xiao frowned. This reaction was unexpected. There was no ridicule as he had imagined, no arrogant demand for him to leave Yao Yao. He Yu's attitude surprised him.

"What brings you here? Are you here to show off?"

"How could that be?" He Yu sat on the rock, looking at Hu Xiao who was full of wariness towards him, and laughed: "There's no need to be so hostile towards me. I'm not your enemy."

Tiger Roar instantly understood his purpose. "You mean Snake Ink from the Ink Snake Tribe? But he's far away in the Ink Snake Tribe. What does he have to do with me?"

"On the mermaid ship, there are people with snake ink."

Tiger Roar's eyebrows furrowed; Snake Ink's men had actually robbed a merchant ship.

"Did he discover Yao Yao?"

He Yu shook his head. "It shouldn't be. If they had found him, it wouldn't have been his men. Besides, when we set off five days ago, I was told that he was still in my Red Crane tribe, wanting to go in and search."

"That……"

"What are you hesitating for? I'll just ask you one question: will you cooperate with me and let Xin'er leave Shemo completely?"

"it is good!"
