Bai Qi looked at Xiao Yue, who was in his arms. Her body was very weak, and her eyes were red. He also wanted to find those people hiding.

Yun Ran observed and realized that those people were not hostile to them.

When they reached the water source in the center of the island, the people who had been hiding from them previously surrounded them again.

Only then did Yun Ran see their clothes clearly. They were wearing clothes made of leaves and sea demons’ hides, similar to the savages who lived in the mountains.

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were focused on Xiao Yue, who was in Bai Qi’s arms.

Not long after, an old voice sounded, “Our king has returned!”

“King?”

While Yun Ran and the others were still in a daze, the people in front of them knelt down to them.

In their group, only Xiao Yue was a mermaid, so the “king” these people were talking about was Xiao Yue.

“Is she the king you’re talking about?”

Yun Ran still raised her hand and pointed at Xiao Yue, who was in Bai Qi’s arms.

A white-haired old man walked out of the group and nodded shakily. “She’s the king of our merfolk! She’s different from us! She’s also different from you! Only a king can wander between the land and the sea.”

Seeing that they had been staring at Xiao Yue’s fishtail, Yun Ran recalled what the little packrat had said before. Xiao Yue’s tail was different from the tails of the merfolk the little packrat had seen previously.

Therefore, not all merfolk could switch between human legs and fish tails.

Only Xiao Yue, or rather, the mermaid blood flowing in Xiao Yue’s body, had such powers.

Since Xiao Yue was their king, they should be willing to help save her.

“Your kings pearl has been dug out. Do you have a way to save her?” “What! The kings pearl was dug out! Was it done by humans?”

“Despicable humans! ”

“Despicable and shameless humans!”

Yun Ran was dumbfounded.

“Cough, cough, cough. There are also good and bad people in the human race.” For example, they were good people.

Xiao Yue was also stunned. She was just a fishing girl and had never seen such a situation before. She did not understand how she had become their king.

Seeing her shrink into his embrace, Bai Qi tightened his arms around her. “Xiaoyue, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”

Yun Ran looked at the group of people in front of her again. “If we had dug out your kings mermaid pearl, there’s no need to bring her back. Therefore, you don’t have to be wary of us. Our goal in breaking into the merfolk’s lair is very simple. We want to save her.”

The old man in front of her should be the leader of this group. He was the one who had been speaking.

Yun Ran decided to communicate with him.

“If you have a way to save her, let us know. Her body is very weak now.”

The old man looked at Xiao Yue, then at Yun Ran and the others. Finally, he said with a trembling voice, “There’s a way, but you can’t save her!” Before Yun Ran could ask why, Bai Qi couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“What way? Why can’t we save her!”

“Because humans are hypocritical and selfish. To save her, we need a human who is willing to exchange his life for hers. Are you willing?”

The old man looked at Bai Qi and sneered.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qi replied without thinking, “I’m willing! Tell me, what method?”

The old man was clearly stunned by his words. He asked again, “Didn’t you hear what I said?”

Bai Qi interrupted him. “l heard it clearly. A life for a life. I said, I’m willing!’

Xiao Yue was also shocked by Bai Qi’s words. A life for life?

She was unwilling!

How could she agree to exchange his life for hers
