Chapter 33: Xizhi's Gossip

Xizhi's Gossip

"I..." A trace of faint embarrassment flitted across Honglianlian's face; she had rushed over in a fit of heat and hadn't made any mental preparations at all.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head in defeat and sighed deeply; it was over, the little mermaid probably thought she was an idiot.

Chaosheng slightly furrowed her delicate brows, staring unblinkingly at this strange female, and secretly speculated, "Do you have something to ask me?"

Honglianlian shook her head, her voice low as she said, "No."

"...?" Chaosheng lightly pursed her lips, her bright tail poking out from a crack in the reef, her expression indifferent, "Alright."

"I still have things to do, I must head back first."

Huh?

Honglianlian suddenly raised her head, looking at her in disbelief; she was leaving just like that?

"Hey, hey!"

"Don't, don't!"

"Don't go!"

Honglianlian hurriedly grabbed a slender, fair wrist; Chaosheng was jerked back abruptly, turned around, and looked on with a cold, questioning gaze.

Honglianlian's brain spun rapidly, her eyes darting left and right; after a long while, braving Chaosheng's highly oppressive gaze, she lifted her upper lip and said, "That... are you and Xizhi not on good terms?"

After saying it, Honglianlian wanted to slap herself across the mouth; what kind of question was that? Every Sea Beastman in the Polar Sea knew that the mermaid who had been exiled there had offended the Whale Shark Tribe's chieftain.

It was over, this beautiful mermaid must think she was a stupid fish.

Chaosheng's expression was neither salty nor bland as she nodded slowly, "Mm."

The Mermaid Female hadn't left and was still chatting with her? Honglianlian slowly exhaled, settled her heart, and said to Chaosheng, "I'll help you; I don't like her either."

"She once took a fancy to a Beastman from my Tribe and wanted to take him as a Beast Husband."

"At the time, our Tribe all thought it was a huge stroke of luck; after all, our Tribe's Beastmen aren't very strong, and aside from most of them having good looks and a bit of luck, they don't have any standout features."

"I didn't expect that one day we could actually build a connection with such a powerful group as the Whale Shark Tribe."

Chaosheng impatiently locked her brows, her eyes flickering with faint irritation, "Sorry, I am not interested in these matters."

Although she did indeed want to take revenge now, she was not interested in these romantic affairs of Xizhi.

"Hey, hey! Let me finish speaking." Honestly, this mermaid was too impatient.

Although she complained in her heart, Honglianlian still assured Chaosheng with a face full of conviction, "I promise, I promise there will be a main point later."

Chaosheng remained silent, looking up slightly at the light, a trace of hesitation flashing in her eyes; forget it, she would just listen to what she had to say.

Seeing that Chaosheng had stayed, Honglianlian hurriedly continued, "Xizhi has a very jealous Beast Husband; he is a Walrus Beastman, ugly in appearance, but his innate ability is very high. I heard he can inflate his body several times over, and his strength increases dozens of times, like a monster."

Inflate several times over? Chaosheng narrowed her eyes, keenly recalling the immensely oppressive, massive body Xizhi and Baipei had fought that day.

Chaosheng watched Honglianlian quietly, her expression softening slightly, and a trace of anticipation flashed in her crystal-clear, bright eyes.

Honglianlian caught this slight change in Chaosheng well, thinking proudly in her heart, see, all Beastmen will be conquered by my gossip.

But soon, as if thinking of something sad, she lowered her brows and eyes, her tone sorrowful, "After that Beastman from our Tribe married over, he was tortured to death by the Walrus Beastman not long after."

"We didn't know the discord behind it at the time, we only thought that since our Tribe's Beastman died so inexplicably, I had to demand an explanation for him."

"Who knew that when we arrived at the Whale Shark Tribe, Xizhi actually said he died because he was physically weak and it had nothing to do with them."

"She even blamed us for marrying a Male Beastman who wouldn't live long to her!"

The Hongxin Tribe couldn't swallow this insult and spread the matter; Xizhi felt they had ruined her reputation, and after teaching her mother a lesson, she often caused them small troubles.

Chaosheng blinked, a trace of weariness hanging at the corners of her eyes, her interest fading, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, yes!" Honglianlian had been immersed in her own sad emotions and was about to wilt, but hearing this, she instantly realized this mermaid was losing patience again and hurriedly perked up, saying: "The mental sea of Xizhi's Walrus Beast Husband is severely polluted."

"I heard that a while ago he survived by relying on Sea Spirit Ginseng and even successfully advanced to the Fifth Rank."

"However..." Honglianlian paused for effect, her tone dragging out in a long curve, "I heard that after that Walrus Beastman advanced, the pollution in his mental sea became even more severe; he has to consume a large amount of Sea Spirit Ginseng every day to stay clear-headed."

"And he actually demanded that Xizhi divorce all her other Beast Husbands who have no abilities."

"As for Xizhi..." Honglianlian drew out her voice, revealing a sarcastic smile, "She is currently looking for a high-rank Beastman; once she finds one, Xizhi is going to kick that Walrus Beastman to the curb."

"..." Chaosheng's gaze flickered, and the eyes she looked at Honglianlian with carried a hint of suspicion, "How do you know these things?"

"... Ha!" Honglianlian laughed awkwardly, her eyes drifting, "Don't worry about that; of course I have my own channels."

Chaosheng's gaze paused slightly, a flash of deep meaning in her eyes, "Fine."

"What do you want me to do?"

"Kill that Walrus Beastman!" Honglianlian's gaze turned fierce, then, as if realizing it was inappropriate, her expression returned to its previous state; perhaps fearing Chaosheng would disagree, she softened her tone to persuade her: "That Walrus Beastman is not a good person."

"And he is currently Xizhi's Beast Husband with the highest ability; as long as he is killed, Xizhi's ability will be greatly damaged."

"I will consider it," Chaosheng replied perfunctorily, her interest faint; her conflict with Xizhi did not need to involve her Beast Husbands.

What Xizhi owed her, she would naturally collect from Xizhi one by one.

"Eh..." Honglianlian wanted Chaosheng to nod and agree quickly, but upon touching Chaosheng's cold expression, she instantly wilted; she had almost forgotten that the one before her was a Sixth Tier female, with an ability level even higher than Xizhi's.

She pursed her red lips and looked dejectedly at the shrimp and conch on the seabed, "Alright, then you consider it."

"Mm."

She was considering it.

But it was not considering whether or not to go kill Xizhi's Beast Husband.

Rather, she had to think about how to deal with the matter three days from now; she could not let those Beastmen who trusted her return in disappointment.

Although the Jade Life Flower had fallen into the hands of the Whale Shark Tribe, the Jade Life Flower needed to use fire to have a purifying effect; no matter how much the Whale Shark Tribe studied it, they could not possibly figure out the correct method of use.

She was not worried about this point.

But should she go and snatch the Jade Life Flower back or not?

This matter was what she truly needed to ponder carefully.
