Chapter 513: Chapter 514: Arrogant
The dim-witted Mermaid Beastmen: ...
Silver Fish looked incredulously at White Fish, "Did that beastman just say his tribe looks down on us?! By what right do they look down on us?"
White Fish puffed up his chest, a look of arrogance on his face, "Hmph, they must have said that to lure us in!"
Silver Fish thought White Fish made a good point and nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm, should we go and have a look then?"
"Of course, we should! We’ll go in and laugh at them! And then we leave!"
White Fish’s proposal was met with agreement from the Mermaid Beastmen. Together, they all entered the paradise.
To show their welcome, the locals were eagerly waiting, holding various beast skin clothes, shoes, and other items like scarves and gloves.
Originally thought the pairs would get along with Mermaid Beastmen like the White Tiger Beastmen, but the result was—
White Fish snickered, pointing at the assembled Paradise Beastmen, his voice not attempting to hide the laughter.
"Haha, just as I said, they definitely intended to entice us in! Look at how happy they are laughing, they must have known we were coming! What’s that they’re holding? Is it a gift for us?"
Silver Fish sneered dismissively, "What a piece of junk, so ugly, you couldn’t pay me to take it!"
"Huh? This seems like it’s meant for keeping warm, it’s not too bad."
"Yeah, these Paradise Beastmen seem quite smart, they actually thought to make this out of beast skin."
"Hmph, are you that easily swayed by a couple of beast skin pieces? How naive! For the record, I wouldn’t be caught dead with such hideous things!"
"I don’t want it either, it’s really ugly. We have the protection of Primordial Power, only powerless failures would rely on this for warmth."
After one of the Mermaid Beastmen said this, the surrounding atmosphere quickly became awkwardly silent.
Soon, someone replied, "But the chief is also wearing them, they seem...quite nice..."
"..."
Red Fruit stood with a group of young ladies, all wearing gentle smiles on their faces that showed no displeasure.
White Fish came forward arrogantly, as if he didn’t care about anyone else, "Where’s the food your high priestess said you prepared for us? I don’t see it anywhere."
Red Fruit merely smiled faintly. She seemed to ignore White Fish’s question, instead, her gaze fell onto the Beastman who had just called the beast skin clothes decent.
"Our esteemed guest, you must be tired from traveling such a long distance. We have prepared clean clothes for you. Would you rather freshen up before having a meal, or have a meal before freshening up?"
The Mermaid Beastman, who was suddenly addressed, looked surprised. He looked around before pointing at himself doubtfully, "Ah? Are you talking to me?"
Red Fruit continued her faint smile and nodded, "Yes, guest, if there’s anything you need help with, feel free to ask for it. I will do my best to help."
The Mermaid Beastman chuckled, intrigued by this novel experience. He nodded his consent.
"Alright, then are these clothes in your hands for me?"
Red Fruit: "Yes, do you need me to arrange for someone to help you put your clothing on?"
The Mermaid Beastman scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "No need, I think I know how to put them on."
Red Fruit: "Then please follow me, guest. I will take you to your room to freshen up and change into your new clothes before having a meal."
