Chapter 386: Chapter 387: Hai Qin’s Fury!
Xiyi felt helpless, he didn’t want to upset his sister.
He took the skewer of meat that Qiu Mo handed him, took a perfunctory bite, intending to just go through the motions but was surprised to find that it tasted really good.
Qiu Mo’s eyes sparkled as she watched Xiyi, "Big brother, how is it? Isn’t it delicious?"
Xiyi nodded, "Mmm, it really tastes good, better than the meat in the kingdom."
Upon receiving the praise, Qiu Mo was overjoyed and presented all the skewers to Xiyi, "Here, there’s still so much for you!"
Xiyi reached out to pat Qiu Mo’s head, "Big brother doesn’t need it, keep it all for yourself."
"It’s okay big brother, I’ve already eaten a lot. I brought these back for you to eat."
Unable to resist Qiu Mo’s enthusiasm, Xiyi had no choice but to eat another skewer.
"Really, big brother’s not going to eat any more, you should take some to father and mother to taste!"
Qiu Mo nodded firmly, "Mmm."
She approached a large seashell with the skewers, knocking lightly, "Father, I’ve brought you something tasty."
The large seashell slowly opened.
A stern-looking merman was reclining inside. He had three striking scars at the corner of his right eye, giving his austere demeanor an added sense of terror.
Qiu Mo retreated a step without a change in expression. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
She was somewhat afraid of her father because he was always very strict with her and she’d never seen him smile .
But Qiu Mo knew that it was her father who led the tribe to fish every day to sustain their survival. Whenever the Spiral-toothed Black Whale Beast threatened their tribe, her father would always be at the forefront.
Her father was good, he had done a lot for the tribe, he was the strongest among the beastmen of the Mermaid Clan.
Qiu Mo carefully called, "Father~"
Hai Qin, usually preferring not to speak, nodded lightly, "Yes, what is it?"
As Qiu Mo brought the skewers before him, she didn’t even get a chance to speak before an oppressive force making it difficult to breathe.
Hai Qin squinted his eyes, concealing his emotions, "Roasted meat? Where did it come from? Did you go to the surface?"
The deep, booming voice echoed in Qiu Mo’s ears, making her head buzz.
"What did I tell you? Did I not forbid you from going to the surface? How dare you defy my will!"
Qiu Mo couldn’t help but shudder in fear.
Xiyi rushed in at the sound of the commotion, seeing his pale-faced sister on one side, he couldn’t help but speak up in her defense.
"Father, Qiu Mo just had her head out of the sea, she didn’t go to the surface. I have already reprimanded her, I believe she will not dare to do it next time. And she is offering you some nice tasting meat. You should try some."
Hai Qin’s face was filled with anger, "Did I give you permission to speak? Do all of you now disregard me? The meat? Who permitted you to bring food from the surface back?"
Qiu Mo was astonished.
She had no idea why her father was so angry, was it just because she had gone to the surface once?
Even if she sneaked off to other parts of the sea for a play, at most he would scold her a little and that was all. Never before had he reacted like this.
"Bang!"
With a wave of Hai Qin’s hand, a great force suddenly surged and the sturdy skewer in her hand was broken into pieces, scattering on the ground.
Hai Qin looked anger, "No one is allowed to eat food from the surface! If I find you going there again, you’ll never leave the tribe! Go reflect on your wrongdoing! Without my permission, do not step out!"
