Chapter 30: Establishing Authority

Establishing Authority

Outside the cave.

Two tall and handsome Beastmen stood in the ice-blue seawater; one had cold, pale skin with a fierce expression, while the other had black skin and white hair, looking refined and indifferent.

Baini scanned from left to right carefully, sighing slightly in his heart—anyone with good relations with the Jingju Tribe?

They all seemed to be loners; there weren't any Beastmen they had good relations with.

He looked at these Sea Beastmen with some difficulty, the ferocity between his brows growing heavier.

Those with good relations with the Whale Shark Tribe wouldn't do; he could look for those instead.

The Whale Shark Tribe held themselves in high regard, usually only bestowing favors upon Beastmen who were valuable to them, ignoring those weak Sea Beastmen.

He pointed to an inconspicuous Fennel Fish on the far left, "You."

Then he pointed to a small Dumbo Octopus on a reef on the far right, "And you."

"In three days, come here to have your Mental Sea cleansed."

Baini looked at this group of unfamiliar Sea Beastmen, his lips pursed in impatience, feeling troubled again; he really couldn't pick anyone else.

The Beastmen erupted into an uproar.

"What does this mean?"

"Them? By what right?"

"Then what about us?"

"Yeah, what about us?"

"What about that Mermaid? Why isn't she coming out?" a Dogtooth Fish female muttered, looking unconvinced.

She had run over early in the morning and waited for a long time, only to be dismissed with a single sentence?

The little octopus and the little Fennel Fish pointed at themselves in disbelief, unable to believe they had been hit by such a huge surprise.

"Enough!" The noisy sounds gave Baini a headache; he blinked uncomfortably, his refined yet fierce face full of cold condensation, "My Mate can only help a few Beastmen at a time; she cannot help so many of you."

"Tch!" The Dogtooth Fish female rolled her eyes, "Doesn't that just mean she can't?"

"I thought they were so impressive, why can they only help these two pieces of trash?"

She flicked her tail in disdain, "I thought I could come here and pick up a bargain, but now I still have to spend Crystal Coins to buy Sea Spirit Ginseng."

After speaking, she looked at the other Beastmen with dissatisfaction and urged, "Everyone, let's just disperse."

"This Sinner Female is definitely a liar; she just wants to elevate herself and play us for fools."

"You..." Baini lowered his brows, looking at her as if she were a dead fish; it was fortunate she was a female, for if she were a Male Beastman, he would have ensured she didn't leave alive today.

"What are you doing?" The Dogtooth Fish female glared back, completely unafraid, "Are you trying to hit me? What an ill-mannered Male!"

"If my Beast Husband were as disobedient as you, I would have beaten him long ago!"

Yinxu narrowed his eyes, his gentle face sinking until it dripped with coldness, "You don't need to come again."

"We will not help you."

"From now on, we will not help any Dogtooth Fish Beastmen."

A Male could not actively kill a female, but Yinxu naturally had plenty of ways to retaliate.

Such a female could just be left to her own clan to deal with and punish.

A flash of guilt and fear crossed the Dogtooth Fish female's eyes, immediately turning into resentment as she looked at Yinxu righteously, "By what right! By what right won't you help us Dogtooth Fish Beastmen!"

"You really think you're something!"

Baini closed his eyes in restraint, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with long-suppressed anger. "If we don't want to help, we don't help you; where do you get all this nonsense?"

The Dogtooth Fish female squinted again, arms crossed, not afraid of him at all; so what if he was a Fifth-tier Beastman? As long as she didn't strike first, this Male could only endure it.

"Yo! You won't even let me speak?" The Dogtooth Fish female rolled her eyes to the heavens and muttered, "That Sinner Female of yours really thinks she's the Xizhi Clan Chief, putting on such airs here!"

"It's not even certain if she can really cleanse a Mental Sea." The Dogtooth Fish female spread her hands, as if she were certain the Mermaid female was just lying to the Beastmen, "After all, no one has ever seen it with their own eyes."

Her two small black eyes looked at the little octopus and the little Fennel Fish in the corner of the crowd, and she sighed with feigned profundity, "You two shouldn't be happy too early; they chose you two probably because they think you're easy to bully."

"Like you low-class Sea Beastmen, even if they treated you to death, no one would care."

Upon hearing this, the Fennel Fish Male lowered his head in desolation, his previously joyful mood instantly sinking.

The orange Dumbo Octopus quietly moved its short tentacles, its voice like a child's, but the words it spoke could make one die of anger, "Hmph, you're just jealous that we were chosen!"

"Hey! You..." The Dogtooth Fish female's face instantly darkened; since when did such a low-class octopus Male dare to talk back to her?

Anger surged in her eyes, and she wanted to teach this Dumbo Octopus a lesson.

She only had one Beast Husband with an ability, a Shenti Xi Yinneng, and she had come to find Chaosheng for his sake.

She utilized her ability, and instantly her arms elongated, reaching past the other Beastmen until they were right in front of the Dumbo Octopus.

The Sea Beastmen were indifferent to this scene; those who could be here either had abilities themselves or their Beast Husbands did, and they had seen all sorts of abilities, so it was no longer a novelty.

The Dumbo Octopus looked at this long-armed monster, stunned in fear, its two short tentacles subconsciously hugging its head, "Ah ah!"

Suddenly, the seawater shook, and a cyan-white light cut through the water, spinning at an extreme speed and stabbing fiercely into the Dogtooth Fish female's elongated arm.

The wound was deep, almost reaching the bone, and the blood that flowed out turned into a bloody mist in the seawater.

"My meaning, Yinxu and Baini have already conveyed very clearly."

"This female, please see yourself out."

An ethereal and pleasant voice drifted along the current, and a stunningly beautiful female walked slowly out of the Ice Cave; her fish tail had transformed into a soft, smooth beast skirt, and the pearls on her neck shimmered with a faint halo.

"Ahhh! My hand." The Dogtooth Fish female glared fiercely at the female at the entrance of the Ice Cave, deep hatred in her eyes.

"You Sinner Female actually dare to hurt me?"

"Hurt you?" Chaosheng tilted her head with a smile, completely unable to be seen as the one who had unleashed that highly lethal Wind Blade; thanks to Baini's ability leveling up, her own Wind Element Ability could now reach the Third Rank.

"So what?"

Chaosheng sneered, "I am currently at odds with the Mad Shark Tribe precisely because I killed a female from their tribe."

"Hurt you? What makes you think I wouldn't dare?"

The stunningly beautiful Mermaid said this indifferently; her tone was so gentle, yet the words she spoke were chilling.

The Dogtooth Fish female's arm returned to its original length; she clutched the deep wound on her left hand, glared fiercely at Chaosheng, and then, head down, transformed into her original form and swam away.

She was not the kind of female who could not tell good from bad, and she would not be stupid enough to clash head-on and lose her life here.

Watching the fish move away, Chaosheng closed her eyes in satisfaction and curved her crimson lips slightly, "I need to prepare for the next few days, so I will wait until three days from now to help everyone cleanse their Mental Sea."

"Rest assured, everyone, I am not only choosing these two Beastmen to help them cleanse their Mental Sea."

"Afterward, I will also regularly help the Beastmen cleanse their Mental Sea."

"But if anyone offends me or offends my Beast Husband..." Chaosheng paused, her gaze darkening slightly, and the faint smile at the corners of her lips carried an ambiguous meaning.

"Then don't blame me... for offending you back."
