Chapter 9 I have nothing to do with her
He swayed back and forth, wailing and slapping the ground, his fishtail also wagging constantly. The scene was quite comical. “Alright, alright, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have been so rough on you.” Jiang Li lowered her voice and coaxed him patiently. However, this did calm him down. “The merman pearl is very important to you merfolk, why did you give it to me?
” Jiang Li asked the question that had been puzzling her. However, Jun Yue Lan became off-topic again when he heard this question. He rolled over, facing upwards, his fishtail happily slapping the ground. A playful smile appeared on his handsome face again.
“When I was playing chase with the little fish, I saw a little bird being cruelly abandoned and thrown into the Sana River, almost drowning. There’s no way, who told me that I’m not only beautiful but also have a compassionate heart, I can’t bear to see people die in front of me…” Jun Yue Lan became more and more excited, even getting deeper and deeper into his self-love, he couldn’t extricate himself. Jiang Li looked at the merman with a speechless expression, she could see that this stinky merman was really naughty and narcissistic.
Unexpectedly, Jun Yue Lan kept talking, like he was writing a thousand-word essay. This really wore down Jiang Li’s patience, she finally couldn’t help but interrupt him. “Thank you for saving my life, I have nothing to repay you with, when I return to land and become rich, I will definitely thank you properly.” She not only had to go back to the bird tribe to settle the score with Yan He, but also to see if Aunt Mei was seriously injured by the beastmen, she could only give him a big pie for now, and slowly fulfill it when she had the chance.
Jiang Li stood up, just as she was about to leave, Jun Yue Lan reached out and grabbed her arm. “You want to escape?” Jun Yue Lan narrowed his eyes, his eyebrows raised slightly, his face with a hint of anger, the terrifying aura emanating from his whole body made Jiang Li shiver involuntarily. She quickly explained, “I didn’t want to escape, how could you think of me like that? After all, you saved my life, I will repay you no matter what.”
“Then why do you want to go back to land?” “I have my family on land, the bird tribe was attacked by beastmen, I want to go back and see if she was injured. I also need to settle the score with the person who threw me into the Sana River…” Jiang Li’s indignation hadn’t finished yet, Jun Yue Lan seemed to have caught the point of her words, he directly interjected. “You mean the beastmen are out?” “Yes.” Seeing him change from his previous off-topic attitude to a serious one, Jiang Li nodded firmly. “How is that possible?” Jun Yue Lan lowered his head slightly, whispering, “The beastmen are out? Why don’t I have any sense of it?”
Jiang Li didn’t hear Jun Yue Lan’s mumbling, she asked him directly, “What are you mumbling about?” Jun Yue Lan came to his senses, he put on a pitiful look again, “Nothing, I was just thinking that you took my merman pearl away, what if something happens to you, I’ll be dead too.” “Huh?” Jiang Li widened her eyes, full of confusion.
“You should know, right? Our merfolk’s merman pearl is our lifeline, if the merman pearl is destroyed, the merman will also die along with it. And if I’m not mistaken, the one who threw you into the Sana River should be your bird tribe princess, Yan He, right?” Jiang Li was stunned, she looked at Jun Yue Lan with a wary look, “How did you know? Do you know Yan He? What’s your relationship with her?”
This barrage of questions made Jun Yue Lan realize that Jiang Li was suspecting him. He quickly waved his hands in explanation, “I just met her once, I have no relationship with her, besides, if I really colluded with her, I wouldn’t have given you my precious merman pearl and saved your life.” Jun Yue Lan’s explanation was indeed believable, if he really colluded with Yan He, he would have just taken the opportunity to give her a final blow after she fell into the river.
Then, Jun Yue Lan continued, “Since it was Yan He who harmed you, then you can’t go back to the bird tribe. She is the only princess of the bird tribe, not to mention that she can cover the sky with one hand, but at least no one will accuse her of what she did, but what about you? You are just a commoner, even if they find an excuse to execute you, no one will dare to say anything.” Jun Yue Lan’s analysis was indeed very reasonable, she was still in the concept of equality for all in the modern world, she had forgotten that in Mingyue, it was the same as in ancient times, there was a clear hierarchy. “But I’m still worried about Aunt Mei, I’m afraid something will happen to her.
” Jiang Li frowned, expressing her concern. “Is the Aunt Mei you’re talking about an elder of the tribe?” Jiang Li nodded. “Then nothing will happen to her, as far as I know, even the king of the bird tribe respects the elders of the tribe very much.” Hearing Jun Yue Lan’s words, Jiang Li was immediately puzzled, “How do you know so much about the bird tribe?
” Even more than her? Jun Yue Lan was stunned, then he smiled awkwardly and explained, “We merfolk have been living in the deep sea for a long time, we inevitably get bored sometimes, and my only hobby is reading, I learned all this from books.” There were indeed books in Mingyue about the living habits and temperaments of the five great tribes. But Jun Yue Lan said this, making Jiang Li even more puzzled, “Why do you read these books? Could it be that you want to know your enemy and yourself? To incite the merfolk to attack the land?”
Hearing this, Jun Yue Lan panicked completely, “How is that possible? I told you, it’s just because I’m bored! Besides, the land is nothing but dry deserts and endless forests, it’s really not fun, it’s not as fun as the bottom of our Sana River.
” Seeing him in such a hurry, Jiang Li laughed. Jun Yue Lan saw that she was no longer worried, and he laughed along. “I can let the shrimp soldiers and crab generals climb onto land and go to the bird tribe to see if your Aunt Mei is injured.” He also wanted to know why beastmen appeared in the bird tribe. Jiang Li wanted to thank him, but she couldn’t help but tease him, “It feels like you’re imprisoning me.” “Where is there imprisonment? I told you, you’re carrying my merman pearl, what if something happens to you? I haven’t lived long enough yet!”
“I also cherish my life, how could I die in someone else’s hands so easily?” “You cherish your life? Then how could you be thrown into the Sana River?” “This was purely an accident, I was ambushed by them, I wouldn’t do something like this normally.” The two of them kept bickering back and forth, neither giving in to the other. Just as they were getting into the swing of things, Jiang Li’s stomach rumbled untimely. “Are you hungry?”
A huge feeling of hunger surged up from her stomach, making her too weak to bicker with him. She lowered her head and nodded lightly, even her voice was weak, “I haven’t eaten anything for a long time.” “You bird tribe people should eat bugs, right?
I’ll go catch you a few bugs by the river.” “No!” Jiang Li quickly refused. Jun Yue Lan thought she was afraid that he would catch bad bugs, so she refused. He puffed out his chest and patted his chest twice, “Trust my ability, I can definitely catch you big, fat bugs.”
