Chapter 17: The Provocation of the Whale Shark Tribe

The Provocation of the Whale Shark Tribe

"Pfft, pfft!"

Past noon, a group of massive creatures suddenly emerged from the icy blue sea. The gray fellows surfaced, spraying columns of water and leaping in the waves; compared to them, the orcas looked small and endearing.

Standing prominently on the head of the leading whale shark was a beautiful Female Beastman. She smiled as if in provocation, "Sorry, but we want this stretch of sea."

She stood haughtily on the head of the largest whale shark, which was in the lead, like a Beast King inspecting her territory.

Behind her followed rows of whale sharks and great white sharks; it appeared their numbers were no fewer than the orcas present here.

Standing on the whale sharks behind her were two Beastmen, one female and one male; they were none other than Rusui and Xichong.

Xichong still wore that arrogant, insufferable expression; seeing Chaosheng and the others, he held his nose high in the air.

Rusui, however, looked cold and stern. She stood very close to Xichong, holding his hand intimately, looking as if their relationship was excellent.

Chaosheng's expression darkened slightly, her gaze vigilant. It was them?

The whale shark pod slowly approached. They were massive in size, the largest fish in the ocean, and the momentum of them swimming over bit by bit was more imposing than a thousand troops and horses, only stopping at a distance neither too far nor too near.

The Killer Whale Orcs of the Jingju Tribe slowly gathered, their eyes fierce, ready at any moment to give these Whale Shark Beastmen a taste of their power.

Xizhi, on the foremost whale shark, smoothed her hair unhurriedly, her red lips curled into a charming arc. Her upturned eyes swept toward Chaosheng with disdain, "Outsider Mermaid, you wouldn't be so stingy, would you?"

"Come to think of it, my younger brother was married the day before yesterday. The sea area where he held his wedding was much better than this one."

After Xizhi finished speaking, she paused slightly, her gaze falling on the Krill Amber Bracelet she had just acquired on her wrist, "Our Sea Spirit Ginseng has been selling very well lately, and we've obtained many new treasures, all of which were given to Xichong as a dowry."

The amber beads on the bracelet were transparent, delicate, and soft in luster.

Through the golden-yellow amber, it was as if one could witness the passage of ten million years of time. After admiring it briefly, Xizhi smiled with satisfaction.

"It is indeed beautiful," Chaosheng said flatly, staring at the bracelet on Xizhi's wrist.

She was completely unprovoked by Xizhi's words.

"What did you say?" Xizhi looked at her in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

How could this mermaid have such a reaction?!

Chaosheng felt helpless and could only repeat, "Your bracelet is indeed beautiful."

Xizhi was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage from embarrassment. Was this mermaid too stupid to understand what was being said?

She shifted her gaze to the Beastmen behind Chaosheng, her eyes lingering on Yinxu for a moment longer. Her expression turned gloomy, and she slowly withdrew her hand, folding her arms across her chest, "I've changed my mind."

"Since you aren't willing, then have your females go hunt for us personally to compensate us."

"I haven't eaten prey caught by Leader Bai yet!"

"I wonder if it might taste even better."

There were only three females here: Baipei, Baiqi, and Chaosheng.

Baipei's other two daughters were not close to Baini and both used excuses to decline.

As soon as Xizhi's words fell, the Killer Whale Orcs' expressions suddenly turned ugly; their bodies stiffened, ready to strike.

Xizhi stood on the head of a whale shark, feeling like she held the winning hand, her arrogant posture unchanged.

These past few days, Beastmen had been coming to them in an endless stream to buy Sea Spirit Ginseng, and she had heard that not a single Beastman had gone to look for this one.

So what if the Jingju Tribe had decent strength?

Her Whale Shark Tribe was not inferior, and furthermore, by relying on the Sea Spirit Ginseng now, the Beastmen of the Polar Sea all had to look to her for cues.

It would be fine if Baipei and that outsider mermaid just admitted defeat obediently today.

Otherwise! She would let them know what it tasted like to provoke the public anger of the Beastmen in the Polar Sea!

Silence, a deathly silence; the Beastmen on both sides stared at each other with fierce momentum.

Even though the whale sharks were twice the size of the orcas, the orcas remained completely fearless, even showing interest as they opened their mouths to reveal sharp teeth, demonstrating against the inconspicuous great white sharks huddled in the whale shark pod.

The two sides stood in a standoff, and time passed bit by bit.

Suddenly, a hurricane blew past, blowing Xizhi off the head of the whale shark. The key was that this wind seemed to have eyes, blowing only Xizhi.

Xichong and Rusui, who were a bit behind her, were completely unaffected.

"Sister!" Xichong shouted nervously.

Xizhi poked her head out of the sea and wiped her face, her cold, beautiful face full of shame and anger, "Baipei!"

Baipei calmly emerged from among the orcas, looking at the female trapped in the massive whale shark pod with a calm, unhurried expression. Her tone was gentle, as if she were teaching a disobedient junior, "Xizhi, you are too young; you truly do not know the immensity of heaven and earth."

Hearing this, Xizhi gritted her teeth, her expression ugly. Having been given a show of force by Baipei in front of so many Beastmen, where would she, the Chief of the Whale Shark Tribe, put her face?

Did she dare to put on airs as an elder in front of her?

Instantly, Xizhi's cold, beautiful face twisted, and her body grew in rage, transforming into a whale shark.

When she reached about twenty meters in size, she let out a painful cry, "Ah!"

In an instant, her body continued to surge to about fifty meters, and the surrounding whale sharks were thrown dozens of meters away by her rapidly expanding size.

She had a Beast Husband with a power ability who had recently successfully advanced to the Fifth Rank after clearing his Mental Sea with the Sea Spirit Ginseng.

She had also benefited from it.

Chaosheng looked at Baipei with worry. In front of a whale shark comparable to an island, Baipei, still in human form, looked as small as an ant.

"Will Mother be alright?"

Yinxu pursed her lips, her expression serious, her dark brown eyes fixed on the situation before them, "She should be."

"Leader Bai is very capable; she won't fall behind."

"Alright." Chaosheng remained worried, anxiety rising in her purple eyes, "Sigh! Baini isn't here; can you help Mother?"

Yinxu shook her head in a difficult manner, "I can't. This is a battle between females; males cannot intervene at will."

Male Beastmen cannot harm Female Beastmen at will without sufficient reason.

"What?" Chaosheng's eyes showed surprise. There were only three females on their side, and since Baiqi had no ability, that left only her...

Chaosheng bit her lip, preparing to watch the situation first; she would only intervene if it were absolutely necessary.

Pei and Xizhi were already fighting intensely, and the surrounding Beastmen had all moved far away, fearing they would be accidentally injured.

The whale shark female seized the opportunity, preparing to pounce and swallow the humanoid Orca Leader.

Who would have thought the Orca Leader would suddenly open his mouth, a burst of sonic waves forcing Xizhi to retreat, tumbling continuously in the water as she attempted to shake off the assault of the sonic waves.

"Big sister!" Xichong called out worriedly.

Rusui, who was accompanying him on the side, put her arm around his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be anxious."

"Ahhhhh!"

The enormous whale shark thrashed about in the seawater in pain, each movement stirring up a layer of monstrous waves.

"It won't work!" Xichong gritted his teeth, "That one surnamed Bai has married so many Beast Husbands, and her various abilities are endless; big sister cannot deal with her."
