Chapter 445 - Curtis Is Here (2) (1/2)

“Bai Qingqing,” Bluepool called out her name. This was met by a cold glance from Curtis, making him shift backward in reflex.

Bai Qingqing smiled at him and said, “Thank you, I owe this to you. How are the merfolk?”

Bluepool’s fishtail slapped against the grass underneath, and he said in a gloomy tone, “I don’t dare to go back anymore. You mustn’t go back on your word—you have to be responsible for me.”

“Ssss~”

Curtis flicked out his tongue and looked towards Bai Qingqing, his voice rising a pitch. “Responsible?”

Bai Qingqing twirled her ten fingers together and murmured, “Mm, ah… yeah.”

A murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Although Bai Qingqing felt extremely guilty, she couldn’t go back on her word, especially now that Curtis was here.

“Bluepool, I’ll help you pursue a female you fancy.”

The merman on the grassland widened his deep blue eyes in hurt. He pointed a finger at her and furiously said, “You deceived me again!”

“Other than this one time, since when have I ever deceived you? Then again, you’ve accused me of that so many times, and I bore the accusation all this while. If I don’t deceive you once, I can’t take it lying down.”

Bai Qingqing said matter-of-factly. Initially, she had found it fun to tease him. However, upon seeing his expression—having suffered a loss yet being unable to have his grievance be redressed—she felt bad about it.

“I will surely help you find bliss.” Bai Qingqing solemnly swore. “Actually, the females on land are great. Although they’re not as pretty as Jean, they only have a few mates, so you’ll get to be by her side every day.”

Bluepool rather looked forward to accompanying his mate every single day, but he had seen the females on land, and he had absolutely no interest in that type at all.

“Can’t be uglier than you.”

Bluepool raised his only request. “Or else I will pester you relentlessly.”

“Ssss—” Curtis flicked out his tongue dangerously.

Bluepool instantly shut up and shifted his fishtail sideways.

Upon seeing that she was fine, Parker sat by the side and licked his own wounds. Earlier on, Bai Qingqing’s vision was still blurry, and only now did she finally notice his injuries.
