Chapter 1647: Peeking at Females From Other Tribes

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Many thoughts raced through Silver’s mind, but it merely showed on his face for a fleeting moment before he replied naturally, “I’ve been working in the two-striped beastmen group previously.”

“I see. You two-striped beastmen have it good. You at least have the chance to see the female,” the purple merman said enviously. “Then, what brings you here?”

Delighted, Silver probed, “I’m looking for some good stuff to give to a female. What do females like?”

“How would we know if even you don’t know? We’re just responsible for seeking new ingredients. We’ll only have an opportunity to meet the female if she’s particularly fond of eating it,” said the purple merman. He sighed with emotion. “Regardless, we’ve got to become more powerful to get the opportunity to mate!”

Silver fell into deep thought. Why was this tribe’s model similar to their family? It seemed like they also only had one female.

If that was the case… didn’t that mean that the purple merman’s courtship target was his mother? Would they also be able to mate with their mother?

This speculation instantly caused Silver’s heart to race and hot blood to course through his veins.

He suddenly pulled the merman to one side and whispered, “Let’s go peek at the female.”

Startled, the purple merman repeatedly waved his hands. Yet, a hint of anticipation was hidden in his eyes. “No, no. We’ll be screwed if we get caught.”

“Aren’t you guys in charge of sending food? Since you come into contact with them, it should make it easier for you to get closer to the female. I’m fast. I’ll help you scout the way.” Silver immediately made a plan and enticed the purple merman step by step. “If you’re unwilling, I’ll just find someone else. You’d better think through this carefully. You won’t get another chance like this if you pass up on this one.”

As expected, the purple merman hesitated. He sized him up and asked, “Can you do it?”

Silver sneered. Since he could even conceal himself within the territory of other merfolk tribes, how could he not have some true capabilities? It was precisely because this part of the sea was tightly guarded by mermen that the purple merman wasn’t overly suspicious.

In order to reassure the purple merman, Silver vanished with a “swoosh”.

The purple merman didn’t even manage to take a clear look. By the time he reacted, all that was left ahead were waves of ripples. As for Silver’s hiding spot, it actually didn’t even stir up a single ripple.

The purple merman turned his head and gazed around. Just as he was about to shout out to him, Silver swam out from several clumps of seaweed not far away.

“You’re incredible.” The impressed purple merman marveled.

Silver was expressionless. Now that he had convinced the purple merman, they immediately launched into action.

As the purple merman frequently sent food to the center of the territory, the two mermen first arrived at the center without a hitch. This was already very near to the female.

It was just that there were a lot of mermen guarding the place, all of which had two animal stripes. There were guard posts everywhere, surrounding the female’s nest firmly like a barrier.

In charge of scouting the way, Silver started taking action in the depths of the sea, the part which was most heavily guarded. After finding the guards’ blindspots, he advanced bit by bit.

It took them half a day to move mere thousands of meters before they finally saw the female’s nest. The two mermen burrowed into a pile of sea sand and revealed only a pair of eyes, using the seaweed above to camouflage themselves so that others wouldn’t notice them at one glance.

Satisfaction and desire sparkled in the purple merman’s eyes as he riveted his gaze upon the stone cave exuding a faint glow.

The stone cave was being watched by tens of pairs of eyes. It was impossible for them to meet face-to-face with the female without anyone knowing.

Silver’s eyes merely glanced briefly at that stone cave, before he looked towards the purple eyes beside him.

Seeing that lone stone cave, Silver was all the more certain that there was also only one female in this tribe.

He slowly floated out from the sand. Yet to see enough, the purple merman wanted to hold him back to watch a little longer.. But Silver was adamant about leaving, so the purple merman had no choice but to get up with him.
