————– An ancient rule from the Sea Clan, passed down in the terrestrial world.

“Beamon…” The mermaid stopped her low hum, her beautiful eyes fixed on Liu Zhenhan, she asked, “Was that song sung by you?”
The mermaid slowly asked in the common language of the Aegean Continent, her voice dreamy, as if pouring out her heart to a long-lost old friend.
“I sang it.” Liu Zhenhan tightened his grip on the bamboo pole in his hand.
A dozen or so dark shadows suddenly appeared on the boiling sea, they circled around and among them, one came closer.
The glow of the Night Pearl clearly revealed it within Liu Zhenhan’s field of vision.
It was a muscular, hulking man of about two meters tall, with a spindle-shaped head.
He had a smooth, muscular body and wore clothes made of seaweed.
His gaze was cold and confident, and like the large white fishing spear in his hand made from fish bones, it was flashing with a thirst for slaughter.
Each of them rode a powerful tiger-headed shark, cutting through the waves, free and unimpeded in the water.
Their saddles made of coral, emitting a daunting red cold light under the night sky.
The massive head of the tiger-headed shark swept maliciously over Liu Zhenhan and their raft several times, its gaze was like a hungry tiger sizing up an antelope.
Helen’s hand trembled violently in Liu Zhenhan’s palm, she tried hard to hide her fear, but in vain.
“These are Goblin Clan magic shark warriors!” Helen whispered in Liu Zhenhan’s ear.
Her expression was like that of someone who had just suffered a nightmare, she was shaking uncontrollably and her voice trembled as well.
“Beamon…” The mermaid struck the lyre, and its ding-dong sound was pleasant to the ear, “Why are you appearing in the sea of the Seia tribe?
You couldn’t possibly be unaware of the rules of our Seia Sea Clan, could you?
No terrestrial creature is allowed to fly over our sky!”
“Beautiful and noble Mermaid Princess, we are just two pitiful Beamon beastmen, wandering on the bitter sea.
After experiencing numerous hardships, we now only wish to return to our hometown as soon as possible.
We have no intention of challenging the dignity of the noble Sea Clan, we just want to go home.” Helen curtseyed to the Mermaid Princess in a noble gesture.
“The beautiful lady of the Fox Tribe, I presume you are a noble among the Beamons, aren’t you!” The Mermaid Princess chuckled.
Liu Zhenhan’s eyes widened in surprise.
“And this Piegel, he must be a Beamon’s sacrificial priest, right?
What a wonderful Beamon war song!
Our Sea Clan has never forgotten it, even after so many years!” The Mermaid Princess shook her wet, golden hair back and looked at Liu Zhenhan, who had a pig-like face, with a smile.
“Yes, your highness.” Helen responded to the mermaid’s question with a perfect noble posture that was impeccable.
Liu Zhenhan rolled his eyes.
“So many years!” The mermaid said with a sigh: “Can the Piegiel race actually have a sacrificial priest at the Sacred Altar now?
Are the Beamon beastmen stronger?
Or have they completely declined?”
“The selection of the sacrificial priest at the Sacred Altar is up to the great war god, not whether the sacrificial priest comes from Piegel or Fawkes, your highness.” Helen bowed and answered.
“Are you two lovers?” The mermaid looked at Liu Zhenhan and asked, “The brave of the Piegel race, don’t remain silent like a clown fish at the bottom of the sea, open your mouth and answer my question.”
The mermaid’s gaze was noble and proud, like an eagle looking down at the myriad creatures on the ground.
“Yes, we are lovers, noble princess!” Liu Zhenhan glanced at the dozen or so roaming tiger-headed shark knights, and immediately put on a kind smile. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs novᴇlfire.net
Helen and him exchanged a passionate look.
“No wonder your song was full of sorrow and sadness just now.
Even we, the mermaid race, who are known for our beautiful voices and rich emotions, find it unbelievable.
“The mermaid princess showed a charming smile, “Since you are lovers, the Beamon tribe isn’t as nasty as humans, may the light of Neptune and Amphitrite shine upon you, I’ve decided to pardon your crime of trespassing into the Seia Empire’s sea territory uninvited.”
Who says that the people of the Sea Clan are unreasonable?
Liu Zhenhan and Helen looked at each other and smiled, both heaving a sigh of relief, doubting the reliability of the rumors.
But before Helen had the chance to thank her, the mermaid spoke again.
“I’m sorry, but to prove your love, I’ve decided that only one of you can safely leave.
The other one, as proof of your great love, I will present as an offering to Amphitrite, the wife of the sea god.” The mermaid curved her lips into a small smile, revealing pearlescent teeth that shone alluringly in the night sky.
The smiles on Helen and Liu Zhenhan’s faces instantly froze.
A group of Tiger-head Shark Knights surrounded them.
There were twelve in total, blocking off the raft.
A few of the Tiger-head Shark Knights, unable to squeeze in, tugged on their shark mounts and, with an elegant leap, vaulted over the raft from the sea.
The seven-meter-long Tiger’s-Head Shark landing back into the pitch-black sea without raising a single wave, demonstrating an intimidating water-riding technique.
Liu Zhenhan coldly glanced at the sharks’ heads that were now in close proximity.
Intense bloody smell wafted from their maw filled with serrated teeth, the black “king” character in the center of their forehead proclaiming their ferocity even more.
