62: I don't care.

"Cleaning?" Nan Zhisui was very curious.

Then she saw the Merfolk picking up sharp tools made of coral and shells to peel barnacles off the Whales, and then wiping the Whales' bodies with seaweed.

Little Fu also followed suit, peeling barnacles off a large whale next to her.

Nan Zhisui joined Little Fu, handing her a pry tool, and together they used the tools to peel off the barnacles.

As everyone worked together, they surprisingly found it very stress-relieving, easy, and pleasant.

Although Lan Xing was working not far away, his gaze never left Nan Zhisui and Little Fu.

Little Fu happily flicked her plump golden tail as she worked.

Nan Zhisui also followed suit, flicking her beautiful seven-colored long tail.

Then she burst into laughter with Little Fu.

Lan Xing, watching from the side, was captivated by Nan Zhisui's brilliant smile and the way she swayed her beautiful large tail.

"Prince Lan Xing," Yu Lang called out to him.

He immediately lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Lan Xing, have some backbone. Don't look at her anymore."

Unexpectedly, Princess Chu Chen and Merman Princes Luo Chuan and Mu Yang, who had traveled a long distance, were also secretly observing Nan Zhisui while working.

"Big Sister, look, that beautiful colorful Merman seems to be Lan Xing's female master," Luo Chuan said.

Chu Chen was very pleased. She said, "How did Lan Xing get so lucky to mate with such a beautiful Merman Female? And her relationship with Little Fu is so good. Little Fu likes her."

The moment Mu Yang saw Nan Zhisui, his eyes suddenly lit up!

—

Yu Lang looked at Nan Zhisui with admiration, then advised Lan Xing, "Your Highness, Princess Little Fu told us that you and Princess Consort have had a slight disagreement."

Lan Xing turned his gaze. Among the Merfolk under his command, Yu Lang was the most ostentatious in his attire, and his personality was also flashy and dissolute. Lan Xing had never particularly liked him.

In contrast, Yu Chen had a completely different personality from Yu Lang; he was humble to the dust, only striving to do his work.

Therefore, Lan Xing and Yu Chen had always been very close, and he enjoyed being friends with Yu Chen. He didn't like Yu Lang, but merely attended to his subjects out of his identity as a Merman Prince.

Yu Lang said, "Your Highness, please don't mind my blunt words. I think, after all, Princess Consort gave birth to the Little Princess for you... This is already very rare in the ocean."

"As a Male Merman, even if there's a disagreement, just let her have her way."

"Moreover, she's so beautiful. You should be careful she doesn't get snatched away by other Merfolk."

Yu Lang swam around playfully and said, "Like me, I really like her!"

"Your Highness, if she really gets snatched away, you'll regret it."

Nan Zhisui smiled brightly at Little Fu, her beautiful seven-colored tail leaving trails of dazzling light in the ocean, captivating many Merfolk Males.

"What a beautiful Merman!"

"Princess Consort is simply too beautiful!"

Seeing all this, Lan Xing still stubbornly said, "What do I care? I don't care at all."

Just as he was speaking, an extraordinarily handsome scarlet royal Merman Male swam over from a distance. The Male Merman actually displayed his strong muscles and performed a courtship dance in front of Nan Zhisui.

"First Prince! It's Prince Mu Yang!"

"Prince Mu Yang is actually courting Little Prince Lan Xing's female master."

"Oh my goodness, this is the first time I've seen Prince Mu Yang court someone."

"It's not surprising, Princess Consort is a Merman from who knows which sea, she's really so beautiful!"

"This is also the first time I've seen such a beautiful Merman Female!"

"Anyway, Females can bond with multiple Merfolk Males. It's perfectly understandable for Prince Mu Yang to want to share a female master with Little Prince Lan Xing. Besides, didn't Little Prince Lan Xing quarrel with his Princess Consort?"

Lan Xing froze, momentarily forgetting to move.

In the depths of the ocean, schools of fish swam by, colorful and magnificent.

Nan Zhisui saw a Merman Male dancing in front of her, and at first, she and her golden Little Merman Cub, Little Fu, watched with appreciation.

But as she watched, she started to feel something was a little off.

The scarlet fish tail often splashed in front of her eyes, spiraling and leaping, displaying muscles, as if showing off.

This couldn't be... a courtship dance, could it?

Goosebumps rose all over Nan Zhisui's body!

After the Male Merman finished his dance, he swam elegantly and nobly in front of her, his gaze very eager.

"Hello, I am Mu Yang, the First Prince of the East Sea Merfolk Clan. Beautiful Merman maiden, would you be willing to mate with me?"

Nan Zhisui was utterly dumbfounded. "..."

Wh-what the heck????!!!!

A blue-purple light suddenly flashed in front of Nan Zhisui. Lan Xing blocked the mother and daughter, facing his elder brother and saying, "Big Brother!"

Mu Yang then looked at Lan Xing and excitedly said, "Lan Xing, move aside, I've found a sister-in-law for you!"

Lan Xing: "..."

Lan Xing stiffened his neck. Although he was young, he would not back down on this matter.

"Big Brother, she is my female master, Little Fu's mother!"

Mu Yang: "..."

Mu Yang: "?"

Fish are very gossipy.

Little fish gossiped about the Merfolk royal family, passing it from one fish to another.

Chu Chen and Luo Chuan swam over from a distance.

First Princess Chu Chen, First Prince Mu Yang, Second Prince Luo Chuan, and Little Prince Lan Xing of the Merfolk Clan, the East Imperial Royal Merfolk, were all gathered together.

The other Merfolk also secretly watched the gossip while working.

Even the Whales in the sea quieted down, their eyes rolling to look in the direction of the Merfolk royal family.

There's gossip! Secretly watching!

The Merfolk royal family had always held themselves in high regard.

Mu Yang and Luo Chuan had lived for hundreds of years and had never mated with Females, thus having no offspring.

Chu Chen had already taken ten beast husbands, but because she didn't want to have children, she also had no offspring.

So, the next generation of the Merfolk Clan only had Little Fu, who was the Female cub of the recently adult Lan Xing.

Chu Chen had originally just swum over to see her younger brother's female master, but when she saw Nan Zhisui, the Merman with the seven-colored tail, up close, her eyes lit up even more.

She immediately pushed Mu Yang aside and enthusiastically embraced Nan Zhisui!

Chu Chen's enthusiasm didn't wane; she held Nan Zhisui and rubbed against her affectionately.

Nan Zhisui: "..." Ah... she seemed to have been taken advantage of by a beautiful Female fish.

"So beautiful! You are so beautiful!"

"What's your name? I like you so much!"

"Never mind my smelly younger brothers, let's become partners!" Chu Chen kissed Nan Zhisui several times on the face.

Nan Zhisui pushed her away: "...Wait, we're both Females."

"What does that matter! I can ask the Witch Doctor to turn me into a Male Merman!" Chu Chen said seriously.

All other Merfolk: "..."

The Merfolk Clan were overlords of the deep sea, an ancient race of the deep sea, and indeed possessed many special witchcrafts.

Male Merfolk could not choose to become Female Merfolk, but there was indeed witchcraft that could turn Female Merfolk into Male Merfolk.

However, Females in the Merfolk Clan were already extremely rare. The Male-to-Female ratio was even one to a hundred!

There were so many Male Merfolk that most of them were bachelors.

When a Female finally appeared, and she was even a Merman Princess, who wouldn't cherish her?

But this Merman Princess, upon seeing the beautiful Seven-colored Mermaid Nan Zhisui, her first reaction was to change her gender!

"No!" Mu Yang, Luo Chuan, and Lan Xing spoke simultaneously.

"Why not! Beautiful Merfolk can pursue anyone!" Chu Chen held onto Nan Zhisui and wouldn't let go.

Nan Zhisui's mouth twitched. She made a calming gesture to the Male Merfolk, then turned to Chu Chen and said, "How great would it be if we were best friends? Why be partners?"

Nan Zhisui continued, "Look, I already have seven Male partners. How many do you have?"

"I have ten," Chu Chen answered honestly.

Nan Zhisui nodded. "See, the relationship between partners isn't necessarily as strong as between best friends."
