Chapter 759 - 759 Communication
759 Communication
An Xiaoou was still in the process of transforming. After all, she was born a human. Hai Ming was worried that something would happen during this process, so he put An Xiaoou first.
The young man’s burning and concerned eyes were pure. An Xiaoou did not even dare to look him in the eye.
They were from two different worlds and had grown up differently. For the fish people, they expressed their love for their partners very passionately.
But humans were reserved, shy, and restrained.
An Xiaoou took a few breaths and said, “Hai Ming, did you catch many humans today?”
“It’s about that.”
Hai Ming naturally replied. He said to An Xiaoou without hiding anything, “Qingxu almost died today. He was seriously injured in the foreign land and had no choice but to use the secretarial array formation of the clan. Some humans followed him over and settled down. I don’t know how the clan will deal with them. The debate over this matter is very intense now.”
“If we let them go, the clan is worried that they will remember the clan and come to destroy our world in the future. If we don’t let them go, we don’t know what to do. Most importantly, these people are very powerful. We will no longer be invincible in the foreign land.”
Hai Ming also looked worried.
After capturing Su Xiaolu and the others, the fish people were also in a dilemma.
“Hai Ming, do you trust me?”
An Xiaoou looked at Hai Ming seriously and said.
Hai Ming smiled and nodded. “Of course I do.”
An Xiaoou took a deep breath and said, “Hai Ming, let me be the messenger of communication between them and you, okay?”
Between the two races, a messenger was needed, and she was the most suitable.
Hai Ming smiled and nodded. “That’s right. I forgot. You’re originally a human. Xiaoou, follow me. I’ll bring you to the palace hall.”
Hai Ming held An Xiaoou’s hand and left.
An Xiaoou lowered her head and looked at Hai Ming’s broader palm. Her cheeks felt a little hot.
Hai Ming’s hand was very soft. The fish people’s hands were a little different from humans’. There would be a portion of webbed-like things between their fingers. Apart from that, there was nothing different. His fingers were long and well-defined. His round fingers looked like they had no nails, but An Xiaoou knew that their sharp nails would only stick out in battle.
An Xiaoou couldn’t help but raise her hand to look at it. Her hand was actually changing. It wasn’t slender and felt a little chubby.
She felt so at ease following Hai Ming.
As they walked into the palace, they could hear arguing.
An Xiaoou vaguely heard Hai Ming’s father’s voice.
“Why should our fish people test first? Why can’t the eagles, snakes, foxes, and tigers be the vanguard? Everyone knows that it’s difficult for our clansmen to reproduce. This battle can’t start with the fish people.”
Hai Shi’s strong voice expressed his dissatisfaction and objection angrily.
After him, many of his clansmen also complied.
Immediately, the entire palace was filled with arguments.
The general also shouted, “They almost killed my son. It’s impossible to let them go like this. They already know the existence of the fish people. Who knows if they will attack us? If we don’t teach them a lesson now, when they attack in the future, our fish people will only become their meal! Those fish in the sea area were caught as soon as they went out!”
Hearing the general’s words, many of his clansmen agreed. Some of them revealed their sharp teeth and said fiercely, “Since they treat us as food, let’s eat them too!”
An Xiaoou shrank her neck.
Hai Ming thought that she was afraid. He held An Xiaoou’s hand tightly and said in a low voice, “Xiaoou, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
When An Xiaoou first came, these vicious clansmen had said that they wanted to eat her.
An Xiaoou smiled at Hai Ming and whispered, “I’m not afraid.”
She was going to be an envoy.
Hai Ming brought An Xiaoou into the hall. Hai Ming said loudly, “I have an idea.”
Qing Lan sized up Hai Ming and snorted. The gills on his cheeks trembled. He said coldly, “What good idea can you have? You chose a half human as your partner. What good can you say?”
“I don’t care what you plan to say. I won’t let this group go back so easily. My son has suffered so many injuries. I don’t know how long he’ll have to recuperate.”
Qing Lan waved his hand coldly. He had his own personal grudge, but to a man, the fish people also had to be strong-willed. Otherwise, they would only be bullied in the future. It was not that he was being rude, but humans were ferocious, and the fish people were also fish in the eyes of humans.
And fish were food.
Hai Shi looked at Hai Ming calmly. “Son, tell me.”
Hai Ming obtained his father’s approval. He looked at his fellow clansmen and the king of the fish clan and said seriously, “My king, elders, the two worlds are fusing. It’s only a matter of time before the two worlds conflict. I don’t think now is a good time to incite conflict. We fish people live in the sea, and the flames of war are difficult to spread. They don’t know anything about our world yet. Just like us, they will feel very uncomfortable when they come to our world. It’s also difficult for us to maintain our human form when we go to the foreign land. The discomfort the foreign land brings to our bodies is mutual, so we all need time.”
“If we kill them now, it will be equivalent to bringing the war forward. Many of you have not gone to the foreign land to take a look. Some people are very weak, but there are many, many people who are especially strong. They are not of the same race as us, but they can still be free in the sea area.”
“Furthermore, the human race has a wide range of territories. It is not as difficult for them to reproduce as us. Our sea area is getting worse and worse. If we form a grudge now, it will be very disadvantageous for us.”
“Xiaoou is a human. She speaks the human language. Let her be the envoy. We can let them go, but they have to exchange for it with something beneficial. Hai Ming is shallow and can’t think of the best way to exchange for this benefit.”
Hai Ming said seriously. He analyzed the pros and cons seriously and suggested a solution.
All the clansmen fell silent when they heard this. They agreed that this was not a good time to make enemies.
However, they were also worried about what General Qing Lan had said. This would make the humans think that the fish people were very weak and edible.
The fish king was already old. His fins, beard, and scales were all white. His dark blue eyes were filled with deep thought. He was wondering if Hai Ming’s method would work.
What benefits could humans give them?
“Hai Ming, you’re a smart child. Tell me, what benefits do humans have that are useful to us?”
The king looked at Hai Ming and asked.
“Knowledge.”
An Xiaoou spoke boldly. Everyone looked at her. An Xiaoou swallowed and looked at the king as she explained seriously, “My king, knowledge is very precious in the human world.”
