55: Let's end our partnership.

The Fisherman was tempted.

In the Beast World, you couldn't find a Witch Doctor even across several villages. Even if you did happen to meet one, witch medicine was extremely rare.

witch medicine was indeed in short supply; trading for some witch medicine for external wounds... it seemed worth it.

Seeing that he was tempted, Nan Zhisui immediately added fuel to the fire. She found a stone pit, put the herbs in her hand into it, and crushed them. Then, she said generously to the Fisherman, "Sit here and give me your leg."

The Fisherman actually sat on the stone. Nan Zhisui applied the crushed herbs to the Fisherman, then wrapped it up with a piece of beast skin.

She stood up and clapped her hands, "There, that's sure to speed up your recovery!"

After the Fisherman stood up, to be honest, he was also a bit touched.

As a Fisherman, getting injured was a common occurrence, and he had always just waited for the wounds to heal on their own.

Healing on one's own was naturally good, but if it couldn't heal and got infected, then death was the only path.

Fortunately, the resistance of the beasts in the Beast World was relatively good, and when they were young, they could all heal themselves.

However, to be cared for by such an extraordinary Female before him, and for her to lower herself to apply medicine and treat his illness...

The Fisherman was moved. He felt that this Female was a good person.

"Fine, I won't take your beast skin either. I only want your witch medicine. This merman is yours!"

Nan Zhisui beamed and said, "Alright!"

*

The blue-purple merman's hands were tied with seaweed. Nan Zhisui held the seaweed and led this merman along.

However, at this time, Lan Xing had not yet learned how to turn his fish tail into legs, so he could only follow with great difficulty.

Fortunately, the Cave where Nan Zhisui was temporarily staying was not far away.

So, the fish scales that fell off when Lan Xing walked were not particularly numerous.

When they reached the Cave, Nan Zhisui turned to look at him and saw a stunningly beautiful merman who had just reached adulthood. The merman's eyes were moist, and he looked at her with tears on the verge of falling.

He looked very pitiful.

He was a bit tired and unable to stand, so he lay down, then slowly propped up his upper body with his hands.

Nan Zhisui crouched down and looked him over carefully.

He had been away from the seawater for a while, and his body was somewhat dehydrated.

His eyes were beautiful, a pair of rippling peach blossom eyes, with a natural blue-purple pearlescent sheen at the corners.

The line of his nose bridge was steep but not sharp, and his thin lips revealed the light pink of blooming coral.

When his two translucent blue-purple ear fins fluttered with his breathing, the blue-purple hair falling across his forehead brushed against his brow bone, and every vein shimmered with a faint, deep blue light.

The merman, away from the seawater, looked somewhat desolate. The tip of his nose was slightly red, his jawline tapered into a fragile curve, and the tiny scales on his cheeks flickered in the moonlight.

"What is your name?" Nan Zhisui asked.

The merman pressed his lips together slightly, his pink lips parting gently. "Lan Xing."

Nan Zhisui's eyes curved, "The name suits you very well. Hello, my name is Nan Zhisui."

Nan Zhisui... This was the first time the fish knew her name.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Nan Zhisui asked.

The merman averted his gaze slightly and shrank his body a little. He suddenly looked up, his beautiful eyes fixed on her, "Are you going to mark me with a Slave Beast mark? Can I... maybe..."

The merman paused slightly, trying hard to advocate for himself, "Can I not be a Slave Beast?"

In the Beast World, the Males surrounding a Female are generally divided into three types.

The first type is the most well-known, the beast husband.

A beast husband will form a bond with his mate. After forming the bond, both parties will possess each other's mate totem.

They have the right to accompany the Female, Mating with the Female, and perhaps have cubs with the Female.

In a Family centered around a Female, the beast husband has the highest status.

The second type is the guardian beast.

A guardian beast will enter into a one-way guardian contract with a Female. The guardian beast will have a white female master mark on his body, while the Female does not need to have the guardian beast's mark.

The Female can control the guardian beast. The guardian beast has the responsibility to protect the Female.

They can be called candidate beast husbands, because if a guardian beast performs well, he can re-establish a mate contract.

The third type is the Slave Beast.

Slave Beasts are a completely different existence from guardian beasts and beast husbands. They are low-class beastmen who will have a red Slave Beast mark placed on them. Whose totem the mark is represents whose Slave Beast they are.

It is worth mentioning that it is theoretically impossible to transfer the totem marks of a beast husband or a guardian beast to another Female. It is just that some tribes might have some taboo methods to eliminate these marks.

But Slave Beasts are different. The Slave Beast mark can be transferred to another Female at any time.

Therefore, Slave Beasts can be traded and sold.

The merman's words were very urgent; he knew he had been sold as a Slave Beast. But he still didn't want to, he didn't want to become a Slave Beast.

Nan Zhisui was in a very good mood after buying such a beautiful Male for just a few herbs, even though the childbearing system's countdown kept warning her, she didn't care that much.

She teased this beautiful merman brother, "You don't want to be a Slave Beast? Then what do you want to be? A guardian beast or a beast husband? Do you want to Mating with me?"

The young merman brother's face turned red instantly. He was likely seeing this kind of situation for the first time and spoke hesitantly, "I didn't, I didn't mean that..."

Wow, so pure!

She really loved such a pure, beautiful young man!

Nan Zhisui continued to tease him, "I spent so many herbs to buy you, surely I bought you for a purpose. Otherwise, why would I buy you?"

The merman brother's face flushed red, and before long, large blue-purple Xingxing were squeezed out.

Nan Zhisui: "..."

Ah, the brother was teased until he cried. He looked so pitiful when he cried; she really was a Bad Female.

When the childbearing system flashed a red light, Nan Zhisui's scumbag Female traits erupted.

She reached out to lift his chin and teased, "I bought you for a purpose; I want to ask you for a cub."

"Ah?" Before the merman brother could react, Nan Zhisui pushed him down onto the hay in the Cave.

It was hard to imagine that the merman brother had been teased by her until he cried all night, leaving a pile of Xingxing on the ground.

This time, Nan Zhisui and Lan Xing successfully formed a bond and established a mate contract.

The next morning, Nan Zhisui was perhaps a bit addicted to bullying him.

The merman brother's fins were dry and he wanted to go back to the sea, but Nan Zhisui wouldn't allow it.

Since Nan Zhisui wouldn't allow it, the merman brother could only endure the dryness and stay in the Cave to accompany her.

Afterwards, Nan Zhisui successfully became pregnant.

And during the time Nan Zhisui was pregnant, Lan Xing became increasingly dependent on her.

"Sister~"

He leaned in her arms, rubbing her slender fingers. "Is being pregnant very hard? I will definitely be good to you in the future, very, very good to you."

He raised his head, his beautiful eyes seeming to be filled with dazzling Xingxing, and he affectionately rested his head on her chest.

...

In front of the merman prison, Lan Xing's expression was very cold, icy cold.

"Nan Zhisui, I know you don't like me." Lan Xing pressed his lips together.

He was a Merman Prince; no matter how much the Female didn't like him, he would not put down the pride in his heart.

"Let's terminate our mate contract," Lan Xing said.

Nan Zhisui: "..."

Nan Zhisui: "..."

Nan Zhisui panicked: "Wait, why?"
