My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker!

e sovereign royal family.

The group of merfolk only realized upon conversing that Miss Qiao was a taciturn person.
She would basically rarely say one sentence in response to eight to ten of their sentences.

Nevertheless, they liked their savior very much, especially the little girl Long Xianxian, who was also Long Xinghua’s granddaughter.

She stuck close to Qiao Mu the whole time, holding onto her arm and incessantly using her small nose to sniff Qiao Mu’s scent.

A mermaid next to them smiled.
“Xianxian, why do you keep clinging onto our savior?”

“The scent on Sister’s body smells really nice.” Long Xianxian replied while holding Qiao Mu’s hand.

“Little Miss, we’re really so grateful that you rescued us.”

Qiao Mu had also noticed by this time that merfolk were mostly chatterboxes.

Especially that Granny Long Xinghua, who had already thanked her eighteen times.

Qiao Mu suddenly turned to Granny Long.
“Why do those people want to capture you merfolk? What do they want to do by imprisoning you all?”

Second Manager Qi had captured the females and children of the merfolk clan, both old and young.
There were also two to three adolescent male children, but their strength was naturally weaker than that of adults.

“Sigh.” Long Xinghua involuntarily sighed upon starting this topic.
“These few years, there’s been a rumor, and we don’t know who started spreading it, but it says that as long as you consume the naga pearls inside the bodies of us merfolk, you will gain immortality and perpetual youth.”

Long Xinghua let out a bitter smile and said, “But in reality, there isn’t even a 100-millionth chance for our bodies to nurture a naga pearl.
An absolute majority of merfolk cannot nurture naga pearls.”

Qiao Mu nodded.

“They don’t know this?”

“No, they do know.” Long Xinghua sneered.
“But they aren’t resigned and feel that they must dissect us in order to find out whether or not we actually have naga pearls.”
