In the beast world, I got rich and became the favorite of the group

Chapter 184 Black Scales + Don't Want to Be Treated as a Fish (4000 words)
When he was very young, Xi had heard of the existence of the secret realm, which was quite mysterious and had been guarded by their clan for thousands of years. According to legend, there was a sacred object bestowed on them by the Beast God.

And only his queen mother, beast fathers, and some high-ranking elders are eligible to enter the secret realm.

"How did this happen? Did you find out who entered the secret realm?" Xi anxiously circled around the high priest.

Before the priest could open his mouth, there was the sound of fierce water fluctuations outside the door, and accompanied by a few angry sounds, several merman figures slowly broke out of the water curtain.

The leading merman was also a tall and handsome blue merman, younger than the priest and more mature than Xi, yet his and Xi's faces were somewhat similar.

The visitor said angrily, "Priest, as you said, a group of nasty land orcs broke into the secret realm and stole the sacred object! No wonder the sea creatures are going crazy!"

"I also found out at the scene—"

The moment he saw Xi and An Jin, Lan Jiao's voice stopped abruptly.

"Huh? Zai Zai?" The anger on his face was swept away, and he swam over and circled the two of them.

"You still know how to come back, you disappeared for 4 years, I thought you turned into a bubble on land, and you were about to play with your queen mother and give birth to a litter of cubs."

Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, and said awkwardly, "Ah, Father, it's not what you think. In fact, it's because of..."

"Stop talking, I won't listen to your sophistry, did you get your shark beads back? Didn't I say that if you can't get your shark beads back, don't come back." Seeing her silly son's expression was a bit weird, Yiyue finally stopped. He stopped talking and turned his attention to An Jin.

"You are..." He was not surprised to see Xi, but looked at An Jin a few more times.

Yiyue sensed the land breath emanating from this female almost instantly, and the anger that had just been extinguished rose again in an instant.

"Father, this is Ah Jin. I took the initiative to bring her here."

Knowing her father's prejudice against land people, Xi immediately pulled him aside, and added in a low voice, "My shark pearl is on Ah Jin's body."

Having said all of this, Yiyue suddenly realized what she didn't understand.

He looked at Xi, "So, you want to find her as your partner?"

The little female was looking fine.

Yiyue glanced at An Jin from the corner of her eye, and her prejudice against land people was immediately overwhelmed by her appearance, and then her eyes fell on Xi Bai's clean and empty chest, "This is okay, your vision is not bad, but this How many years have passed, why haven't you got it yet?"

"... Ah Jin doesn't seem to like me like this." Xi frustrated.

"Which female would like a sticky little mermaid? How did I teach you before? You have to learn to be tough in front of females. Forget it. You stay in the tribe for a few days, and I will teach you How did you get it..."

"Father!" Xi blushed extremely, the two of them were whispering, he was afraid that An Jin would hear Yiyue's loud voice.

Xi hurriedly returned to Yiyue's increasingly off topic, "Didn't it mean that the secret realm was broken into by others? What did you find? What is the situation now?"

"Oh, yes!" Yi Yue patted her head, almost forgetting about the important matter.

His face suddenly darkened again, as if he had changed his face in a drama, and he gritted his teeth viciously and said, "Those damn land orcs, who didn't know what method they used, actually broke into the secret realm and stole the sacred object!"

"Don't be afraid, little female, I didn't mention you, just now Xi told me the purpose of your visit." He smiled gently at An Jin.

"It just so happens that you are also a land person, help us look at this thing, this is a clue we just found in the secret realm."

Yiyue came to An Jin, opened her palm, and there was a black scale lying inside, "We don't have black mermaids or creatures with black scales here, and the aura left in the secret realm is not like us sea people." Orcs, do you know which race of orcs on your land has these scales?"

The moment she saw the scales clearly, An Jin remembered - the little villain she had saved before.

He was the only orc she had ever seen with black scales, after all.

And according to his villain setting, he can indeed do this kind of thing.

An Jin pursed her lips, met Yiyue's probing gaze, and after a little thought, replied quietly, "I have a question, why did you find this black scale in the secret realm?"

"Of course that nasty thief accidentally left it behind!" Yiyue looked at her suspiciously, feeling that the little female her son picked was not too smart.

"It might be more convincing to say that the thief left behind some hairs, but what he left out was a complete scale."

Pointing to the black scale, An Jin continued, "Look, the tip of the scale is flat and smooth, without any trace of bonding with flesh and blood, which means that this scale did not fall off naturally, but was pulled out and left for a long time. A period of time, and then it was deliberately thrown into the secret realm."

When she said this, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn again, and the sharks looked at each other.

Yes, the scales are no more than ordinary hair, and are generally difficult to fall off. How could they be "accidentally" left in the secret realm?

An Jin raised his eyes and looked at them, "Unless that person deliberately left this clue for us."

The mermaids all felt that their brains were not enough. Their brains were not big in the first place, and they became even more confused after being messed around.

"Then that...what the hell does that person want to do?" Yiyue scratched her head, the thinking of land creatures is really strange and cunning, why would they deliberately leave clues after stealing something? ?

"According to the normal situation, there are usually two reasons." An Jin touched his chin, "Either the real thief wants to use the scales of other orcs to divert your attention, or the thief deliberately left this scale to guide you find him."

"Can you take me to your secret place to have a look?" she asked.

"No! The secret realm is the sacred place of our clan, only the mermaids of the royal clan are eligible to enter!"

The mermaids immediately looked at her warily, and the scales on their tails exploded slightly, "And you are also a land orc! Maybe you are in the same group as those peepers and want to get something from this?"

"Ah Jin is my honored guest, you are not allowed to talk about her!" Xi said fiercely to the sharks who exploded their hair.

The mermaids suddenly died down, and they backed away in fear.

Xi immediately turned to her and said, "Ah Jin, why don't I help you take a look? I can enter the secret realm."

"it is good."

……

Knowing that the two will temporarily settle down in the city for a few days, Yiyue arranged two rooms for them, An Jin and Xi, and arranged her son next door to her so that they could communicate with each other anytime, anywhere.

"The priest is still divination. It is not appropriate to disturb during this time. I believe there will be other news soon. Guests from far away are invited to live here temporarily."

The mermaid servant took the two of them to a palace.

With Xi's big back door, An Jin's living conditions were directly upgraded to a five-star hotel.

"If you need anything, you can call us as much as you want." The mermaid respectfully gave her a small sound transmission conch, and then withdrew.

Because of her terrestrial race, the room in the house is surrounded by a huge bubble, which perfectly isolates the sea water.

The house has been neatly tidied up by the hardworking little mermaids, and there is no need to add other utensils. An Jin actually saw the familiar cloth and pottery.

With just one glance, she recognized that these cloths and pottery were all produced in their city. Unexpectedly, these goods had already been circulated to the city in the sea.

The bed of the mermaids is a large shell that is two people long, and the shell is covered with soft white cloth.

An Jin sat inside the shell, supported the shell with her hands, half of her body was sunk in the soft cloth, and she actually felt quite comfortable.

"Does Ah Jin like this place?" Xi poked out half of his head from the doorway, revealing a pair of wet blue eyes, blinking at her.

"I like it." She said without hesitation, speaking the truth.

Xi happily ran towards her from outside the door.

"If you like, you can stay here for a longer period of time, as long as you like~"

An Jin smiled, declined his kindness, but took out a "stone" tied with a red string from behind, and stuffed it into his hand.

"This is?"

She leaned forward slightly, and Xi bent her body slightly almost instantly. She pressed against Xi's ear fins and whispered, "When you enter the secret realm, hang this stone around your neck, and I can see the secret realm." What's it like here?"

This is a small "monitor" that she spent 500 gold coins in the system mall, and it is directly connected to her mind and consciousness.

Without the hindrance of the sea water, the hot air from the female easily sprayed on his ear fins, making them tingly and numb.

Xi Baijing's beautiful face instantly turned red, and half of his body felt limp. He lowered his head, and she tied the small stone around his slender and beautiful neck.

He pinched the stone with his fingers and turned it around:
"Is this really that amazing?"

An Jin smiled and said, "You'll know when you take it in."

After Xi entered the secret realm, An Jin's mind moved, and the scene in front of him appeared in his mind.

The rumored secret place of the Sea Clan is in this big grotto, surrounded by mountains and rocks in all directions, leaving only a small opening for a mermaid to pass through.

It is no different from ordinary grottoes, at most it is several times larger, and there is a large stone platform in the middle of the grotto.

It seems that the "holy object" the mermaids talked about was originally placed on this stone platform.

However, the big stone platform at this time was empty.

Xi turned around, and suddenly stopped on a stone, "This is..." Some black clay was stained on the stone.

He recognized this clay.

This kind of clay is very rare and only grows in the southwest sea area. How could it appear here in the grotto?

"It seems that the clay and the black scales were left to us by that person on purpose. If so, let's follow the clues he left to find out what he wants to do." An Jin said.

So Xi told Yiyue about this, and immediately Yiyue became furious, and sent a group of mermaids to search for the thief, who was bound to cut him into pieces!

During this period, An Jin temporarily lived in the underwater city, waiting for the situation of the shark priest and the search team.

Mi Yin's side probably finished processing soon, she felt that he was approaching her, and Xi had been talking with her for the past two days.

In the largest palace in the underwater city, a woman with blue hair sits on a high seat.

She has beautiful eyebrows and a graceful figure. There are only a few pieces of cloth covering her whole body, and her long blue hair covers her body.

She is surrounded by dozens of mermaids of various colors. Xi's father Yiyue is the most beautiful one among them, and the one she loves the most.

The Mermaid tribe is a matriarchal clan, with females in charge, and the female with the most partners can be king.

Narsa is over a hundred years old, but because she has hundreds of companions hunting green crystals for her, she has always maintained a young and beautiful appearance.

Xi happily circled around her, "Mum~"

Naersa kissed him on the face, "Zai Zai, you are finally back, Mom misses you so much!"

She remembered the little female on land that Yiyue said in the afternoon, "Have Zai Zai found a partner? I heard from your father that the little female is very beautiful. Remember to call me to show my mother some other day!"

"not yet……"

Xi suddenly lost his mind again.

"This is not allowed. You have been an adult for several years. If there is no female to marry you, I will have to arrange a female for you." Naersha said seriously.

Xi was dumbfounded. She never expected that the first thing she did when she got home would be "forced to marry".

Naersa pinched his beautiful and fair face, thinking that he was indeed the fish cub she had been optimistic about since she was a child. If a female couples with you, I will arrange a few beautiful females for you, and give me a few groups of beautiful young fry."

"This, isn't this just a breeding fish? Mom, I don't want to be used as a breeding fish!"

Naersa shrugged, "It's for your own good, Zaizai. You have been an adult for several years and haven't found a female. It will be even more difficult to find a female when you become unattractive. That's why I arranged a female for you in advance."

"You are so beautiful, so I will make an exception and arrange a few more for you, and give birth to a few more beautiful fry for the tribe."

"No! I don't want it, I just want Ah Jin!" Xi escaped from Naersa's arms, and looked at her seriously.

Narsa sighed, "As long as you can find a female this year, I won't arrange it for you."

She had no choice but to propose a lifelong event for Yuzaizai, "It happens that she is living in our tribe now, so you can take her down in these few days. I hope that before I leave, I can see that you have a companion mark on you, Zizai!" .”

……

While An Jin was waiting idlely in the room, Xi gave her some delicious specialties from the sea.

After the two sat opposite each other and finished eating, Xi had no intention of leaving.

An Jin saw that he had a restrained expression on his face, and he was nervously pulling his fingers. From the moment he first entered the door, something was wrong with him.

"what happened?"

She leaned beside him, touched his blushing and shy face with concern, it was a little hot, "Do you have a fever?"
