90: Xiao Fu could not be found

Pearls!

Nan Zhisui silently handed out a glass bottle.

The Merfolk Males had already become accustomed to this, tacitly taking the glass bottle to collect their pearl tears.

The Little Cub Lang Xian frowned with a bit of conflict.

Why do these fish like to cry so much? They cry even more than Xiao Mu. He couldn't even stand Xiao Mu, let alone these adult Merfolk.

It was unbearable, truly unbearable.

Lang Xian got goosebumps and took half a step back.

The chubby little wolf Xiao Mu gripped his brother tightly and whispered, "Brother, how are we going to tell them about Little Fu?"

Her little brother Lan Xing was sobbing and releasing his stress against her shoulder. Nan Zhisui felt her heart ache; she pulled Lan Xing back, but after seeing his pitiful, teary-eyed face—

She didn't feel quite as bad anymore... Whose beast husband is so adorable?

Oh, he's mine.

Her heart was truly itching, so Nan Zhisui used her wicked little hands to rub her young little husband's face.

"Alright, don't cry. You won't look good if you cry."

Nan Zhisui's little hands rubbed away his tears while taking liberties, kneading Lan Xing's face into various shapes.

Lan Xing felt his face was very strange and could only try his best to dodge, yet no matter how he moved, he couldn't escape Nan Zhisui's clutches.

"Sis, Sister! Stop bullying... me..."

He clearly didn't do it on purpose, but these few words made Nan Zhisui's cowlick twitch.

Nan Zhisui: "..."

Wow, so cute!

I really want to... bully him!

Lang Xian was very displeased. This Female was indeed improper; look, she was actually pinching her beast husband like that.

Fortunately, she didn't pinch his face like that.

He would absolutely never let her pinch his face like that!

"You adults are really something. The cub is lost, and you still have the heart to flirt here?!"

Nan Zhisui suddenly looked down. "What did you say?"

She and Lan Xing hadn't seen each other for several days, and Lan Xing started crying as soon as he saw her. Of course, she had to comfort her beast husband first.

What does he mean, the cub is lost?

Speaking of this, the fish brother seemed to have committed a grave error; he gently pushed Nan Zhisui's hand away, his eyes drooping slightly.

"Sis... Sister, Little Fu is lost..."

Nan Zhisui: "?"

Lan Xing bit his lip, his face pale and looking as if he might collapse.

Nan Zhisui finally snapped out of it. "Little Fu is lost? When did she go missing? How?"

"That day, you were taken away by that snake, and Brother White Fox chased after you. I was very anxious and wanted to chase too, but I couldn't run fast..."

"After I found Brother White Fox and brought him back to the shore, I found that the Merfolk clansmen, Hu Qi, and the little snake were all looking for Little Fu. That's when I found out Little Fu was lost."

After finishing, Lan Xing cried towards Nan Zhisui, "It's all my fault. I couldn't protect you, and I couldn't protect Little Fu."

Nan Zhisui's eyes darkened slightly.

She supported Lan Xing. "It's not your fault. If you hadn't been trying to save me, Little Fu wouldn't have been left alone. Little Fu wouldn't have been lost. In the end, it's my fault."

"No, it has nothing to do with you, it's all me!"

"Let's not blame ourselves first; let's find Little Fu."

After saying that, Nan Zhisui looked at Lang Xian. "Do you know something?"

Lang Xian looked up, meeting Nan Zhisui's gaze.

"Do you really not know that the Little Merman cub was sold?"

"Sold?" Nan Zhisui and Lan Xing exclaimed in unison, shocked.

Lan Xing was very anxious, and Nan Zhisui also hurriedly crouched down to eye level with Lang Xian. The other Merfolk were anxiously pacing in circles.

Nan Zhisui asked, "I heard the Merfolk say you were looking for the Merfolk Clan. Is it because you know about Little Fu's situation?"

The two little Silver Wolves looked at each other, and Lang Xian looked suspiciously at the beautiful Female in front of him.

He had previously thought Nan Zhisui knew her Female cub was missing and didn't care, and even suspected if Nan Zhisui had orchestrated Fu Fu being sold.

But looking at it now, Nan Zhisui indeed seemed to know nothing about all this.

And she really looked quite worried about the little mermaid.

It seemed he could tell her.

Lang Xian nodded and said, "We've seen that little golden mermaid. She has two little golden buns on her head, and she said her name is Fu Fu."

"Where did you see her?" Lan Xing asked urgently.

"At the Trading Market by the coast. A Male Beastman wearing a cloak handed her over to the Cold-blooded Scorpion Beastmen, saying to let the Scorpion Beastmen sell her as a Beast Slave."

Little Fu was going to be sold as a Beast Slave. Lan Xing's world felt like it was collapsing.

The tears of the several Merfolk Males nearby fell in torrents.

"My poor Princess Xiao Fu!!!"

"How can you become a Beast Slave?! You are our precious little princess!!"

"Princess Xiao Fu is too pitiful, Princess Xiao Fu is too pitiful!!"

One Merfolk Male was crying while catching the pearls falling from everyone.

Nan Zhisui supported Lan Xing and said to him, "Lan Xing, be strong. Little Fu is waiting for you to save her. Let's go to the Trading Market first to check the situation."

Lan Xing immediately said, "Mhm..."

Among the Merfolk, those whose fishtails could turn into legs did so and put on clothes for the shore.

Lan Xing also turned his fishtail into legs and put on Shark-silk.

Nan Zhisui took Lan Xing's hand, and Lan Xing looked down at the small hand in his.

Nan Zhisui said to everyone, "We're going to the Trading City to find Little Fu. If Little Fu is there, everyone follow my instructions. If we can avoid a fight, we will; everything prioritizes Little Fu's safety, understood?"

"Understood, Princess Consort!"

"You two have to come with us," Nan Zhisui said to the two Silver Wolf Cubs.

The two Silver Wolf Cubs agreed. "Okay."

She gave Lang Xian and Lang Mu a disguise; the two little ones wore beast skin cloaks, so outsiders couldn't see their faces clearly.

When Nan Zhisui and the others arrived at the Trading Market, the two little ones quickly ran to the place where they had been tied up before, but no matter how they looked, they couldn't find Little Fu anymore.

Lang Xian was frantic. "How can she be gone? How can she be gone?"

He grabbed a nearby vendor and asked urgently, "Where is the little golden mermaid who was here today?"

The nearby beastman vendor replied, "You mean that little mermaid? I didn't see her when those Scorpion Beastmen came back. Later, the Scorpion Beastmen packed up and left. We don't know where that little mermaid went either."

"Brother Xian!" Lang Mu was panicked. "Sister Fu Fu is gone."

"How can this be? How can she be gone so quickly?" Lang Xian took two steps back.

He had wanted to save Little Fu.

He really had wanted to save Little Fu.

That mermaid sister, he instinctively liked her a little.

How could she have disappeared?

"Was she really sold as a Beast Slave?" Lang Xian grabbed the vendor and asked.

The vendor slapped Lang Xian's hand away and said, "I said I don't know!"

Nan Zhisui also pulled nearby beastmen one by one to ask. Only then did she learn that a golden mermaid Female cub had indeed been sold here today.

After she suddenly vanished, no one noticed where she had gone.

After asking around, no one knew.

The Merfolk Males who came along were crying their hearts out.

"Princess Xiao Fu is really going to become a Beast Slave. Heavens."

"How can our Mermaid Princess become a Beast Slave?"

"Princess Xiao Fu is really too pitiful."

Lan Xing lowered his eyes, his eye sockets bright red, filled with self-reproach.

Nan Zhisui was extremely anxious, but now she had to comfort Lan Xing's emotions first. She said, "Lan Xing, Little Fu is a golden mermaid. In our place, there's a legend that golden fish are koi fish and bring good luck. Believe that she will definitely be safe and sound."

She arranged, "You few, arrange for several more Merfolk to stay here and continue investigating for news of Little Fu."

Nan Zhisui then said to the very self-reproachful Lang Xian and Lang Mu, "You two, come with me first."

Nan Zhisui was just about to pull Lang Xian, but who knew Lang Xian would suddenly retreat? He grabbed Lang Mu, endured the pain in his injured leg, and turned to run.

"Brother Xian!"
