Chapter 420: Chapter 421: Jealousy
When the tribemates found out that the Mermaid Clan were being accommodated in Yadang’s house, they were all very curious and kept veering that way intentionally and unintentionally.
This was the first time they welcomed another tribe as hosts, and the feeling was... quite intriguing.
After dressing up, Hai Qin stood in the room and saw two sheepish Beastmen peeking into the house through the window.
Hai Qin sneered contemptuously, "Sneaky and stupid!"
Upon hearing this, the two Mermaid Beastmen who had been secretly observing from another window fell silent.
Priest Antuowan of the Mermaid Clan sat comfortably on the Beast Skin Sofa and picked up a strip of meat, "This is quite nice. We might ask them for some more when we leave."
The Mermaid Doctor held a warm cup of green onion ginger tea, occasionally sipping it and sighing in comfort, "Unfortunately, we can’t drink this hot tea underwater. The holy woman of Peach Blossom Land said that drinking this tea can keep you warm; you should all have more."
Hai Qin looked down condescendingly at the two, his eyes filled with contempt, "Look at you two, pitiful and pathetic, people may think the Mermaid Clan mistreats you."
Xi sat by the fireplace, basking in the cozy warmth of the fire, and turned to talk "This is pretty good too, but it’s a pity we can’t light a fire underwater. And you can’t roast it too long, or else it becomes dry and you need to soak it for a long time."
The two Beastmen from the Mermaid Clan kept nodding so hard their heads were about to fall off.
They thought Peach Blossom Land was really great. Good living conditions, good food, and a good environment - everything was excellent! 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Hai Qin looked infuriated, wishing he could kick them!
Mermaid priest Antuowan stroked his beard and picked up another strip of Sweet Earth Fruit Dried, "Aqin, don’t reject Peach Blossom Land. We came here to make friends and they’ve treated us well, maybe they have the same intention."
The Mermaid Doctor chimed in, "Yes, Chief. You see, you had a fight with the chief of Peach Blossom Land as soon as you arrived, but they’re still treating us well."
Hai Qin kept a straight face and said nothing.
Priest Antuowan persuaded again,
"Moreover, isn’t the chief of Peach Blossom Land the one you used to be close to, that White Tiger cub? Maybe he could mediate for you, speak nicely to the holy woman. Then there might be a cure for the poison in your body."
Hai Qin felt bitter inside.
From the moment he set foot in Peach Blossom Land, he knew he had to rely on Peach Blossom Land. Discovering that the chief was the son of an old friend made the already awkward situation worse.
That’s why he deliberately started a fight, looking for a sense of superiority in combat. To avoid being accused of bullying, he intentionally suppressed his superpower, but still lost.
Hai Qin was sure that if Gaiyin used all his strength, he could even hold his own for a few rounds. And the fact that he’s achieved this level at such a young age shows he’s extraordinarily talented!
Hai Qin reflected on his past and admitted that when he was Gaiyin’s age, he definitely couldn’t match Gaiyin’s current level of skill.
Accustomed to being in a high position, people always catered to him, he never had to adapt to others. But now, to survive, he had to lower his head.
In the end, it was all due to his jealousy at play.
