"I never said that—" Shao Xia felt her cheeks heat up when she heard Ruan Zeqiu's response. When the mers turned to look at her with blaming eyes, she couldn't help but clench her fists in anger. Who were they looking at? Did they forget that she was the one who was bringing the majority of the meat these days? It seemed like she needed to find another tribe, one that would respect her. How dare these people stand up against her, and that for someone like Ruan Chanchan?
Ruan Zeqiu was amused upon hearing this. He curled his lips on one side and said to Shao Xia, "Then what did you mean? You refused to imprint on Xie Daiyu, right? You were the one who broke the promise of never accepting a mer other than him, right? Then what was he supposed to do? Become a priest and wait for you like you were his goddess? I don't know about you, but as a mer, I can never do such a thing."
