"Smart?"
The White Shark Clan Leader's gaze gradually solidified, feeling that it was preposterous.
"They didn't ask you to take off your clothes, and yet you insisted on undressing?"
"Yes!" Bai Xiuxiu, completely unaware of the change in her mother's mood, pompously lifted her tiny head, "When has our Devil Soul Great White Shark clan ever worn clothes?"
Watching her daughter's self-satisfied delicate face, at that moment, the White Shark Clan Leader's mentality collapsed.
"Roar!"
She let out an irate roar, bellowing at the surrounding clan members.
"What are you all looking at? Scram, get away from here."
The surrounding clan members shuddered and scattered in all directions, quietly slipping away.
They had all heard what Bai Xiuxiu had said and nearly laughed out loud, naturally understanding the fury of the White Shark Clan Leader who was a mother.
Taken aback, Bai Xiuxiu asked,
"Mom, what's gotten into you all of a sudden?"
"Still asking me what's wrong?" The White Shark Clan Leader glared at her, "Isn't it all because of you that I'm so angry?"
Bai Xiuxiu furrowed her brows, her pretty face full of confusion.
"Because of me?"
"Shouldn't you be happy about your daughter's transformation?"
The White Shark Clan Leader said displeasedly, "Now you're playing the victim?"
"Mom, what are you getting so irrationally angry about?" Bai Xiuxiu pouted her red lips, "I feel wronged; I am wronged!!"
The White Shark Clan Leader stared at Bai Xiuxiu for a long time without uttering a word.
Eventually, her gaze softened and she let out a helpless sigh, seeming deflated in an instant.
"My daughter, of course, you didn't need to wear clothes before the transformation, but after transforming, you must wear them. You need to understand the difference between men and women."
"You absolutely can't let outsiders see your body; you must wear clothes."
Biting her jade finger, Bai Xiuxiu expressed her doubt, "Mom, why are you saying the same thing as Brother Yu? He also told me I must wear clothes outside."
"We tell you this, of course, for a reason."
Bai Xiuxiu nodded her head.
"I understand, Mom. I absolutely can't let outsiders see my body."
"But Brother Yu is not an outsider, so it's okay for him to see, right."
The White Shark Clan Leader opened her mouth.
She was now considering whether or not to turn her daughter back to her original form and let her brain develop for a few more years, to gain some more experience.
She had been protected too well for all these years and knew nothing, so if she suffered outside she would still have to settle the score for someone else.
Looking at her daughter's clueless eyes, the White Shark Clan Leader heaved a deep sigh.
"Alright, who am I if not your mother? Today, I'll tell you everything you need to pay attention to in human society."
...
"I understand now, this is the difference between men and women; this is the reason why you can't just take off your clothes." The White Shark Clan Leader said earnestly.
Bai Xiuxiu remained silent, her cheeks blushing thoroughly.
She had been clueless before, but now that her mother had taught her, she understood everything.
Remembering what she had done before, she felt her cheeks burning hot with embarrassment.
She was too ashamed to meet Luo Yu again; it was just too humiliating.
Bai Xiuxiu imagined it—what kind of mindset must he have had when he saw her foolish behavior?
With her soft and boneless jade hands, she covered her cheeks.
"Mom, do you think Brother Yu will think I'm a fool?"
"He probably will." The White Shark Clan Leader glanced at her, exasperated, "You were so proactive in throwing yourself at him; it would be strange if he didn't think you were a fool."
"Wuu wuu wuu."
Bai Xiuxiu's complexion suddenly changed, and her mood visibly darkened.
Thoughtfully, the White Shark Clan Leader said, "Speaking of which, this human seems quite remarkable."
"Had it been any ordinary person seeing your beauty, they would have pounced like a hungry tiger by now, but that man had the profound self-control to hold back, which is truly extraordinary."
"He has changed my perception of humans."
"Most importantly, that man was actually willing to give away such an earth-shattering treasure and Transformation Grass to you and me."
The White Shark Clan Leader looked at the lightning-wreathed Queer Golden Scale before her, deeply understanding its significance to their entire clan and its terrifying actual value.
"Mom, the Transformation Grass was indeed given to me by him, but that Golden Scale was something he temporarily lent to you, right?"
The White Shark Clan Leader scolded, "You're not even married yet, and already your elbow is turning outwards?"
"No… not at all," Bai Xiuxiu responded meekly.
"Daughter, look into Mommy's eyes."
"Ah? What's wrong?" Bai Xiuxiu was puzzled.
"Tell Mommy the truth, have you developed a fondness for this human?" asked the White Shark Clan Leader.
"No way, I am a sea soul beast, how could I like a human that I've just met?" Bai Xiuxiu replied with a steady voice.
The White Shark Clan Leader shook her head repeatedly and sighed, "Daughter, the look of liking someone can't be hidden, you can't fool Mommy."
"I'm not," Bai Xiuxiu bit her lip, denying it vehemently.
"No need to say more."
"Mommy actually doesn't oppose you liking him…"
"To be honest, I really don't quite understand this human."
"So young, yet his strength is unfathomable, and he could nonchalantly give away treasures that common people rarely see."
"This boy is definitely not your average mortal, and he's not someone our White Shark clan can even hope to compare with."
"Most importantly, did you notice the Sea God's Trident on his brow? This is the mark of a true inheritor of the deities, his potential is limitless."
Bai Xiuxiu shook her head, "Mom, I haven't thought that much, I just feel like I enjoy doing things with Brother Yu."
"A grown daughter can't be kept at home, I'll leave it to you to decide," the White Shark Clan Leader said with resignation.
"I get to decide?"
The White Shark Clan Leader speechless, "Can't you not get so excited all of a sudden, your eyes are practically shining."
"Where have I…" Bai Xiuxiu looked shy, "Mom, if there's nothing else here, I'm going to look for Brother Yu, okay?"
"Crack, crack!"
That was the sound of the White Shark Clan Leader's heart breaking, thinking, after so many years of caring for my daughter, she wouldn't be swooned over by someone else in just one night.
She let out a long sigh.
"Go ahead, go quickly."
"If you keep staying with me these days, I feel like you're going to be the death of me."
"Hehe, don't be mad, your daughter still loves you." Bai Xiuxiu went up and embraced the White Shark Clan Leader's arm.
The White Shark Clan Leader pinched her delicate little nose and said with a bitter smile, "You, be careful not to reveal your hot figure in front of others, not even Luo Yu."
"Okay," Bai Xiuxiu replied, blinking her beautiful large eyes like an obedient child.
She asked, "Mom, didn't you say you've seen the real Sea God before?"
"Yes." The White Shark Clan Leader nodded, "Back then, I was the Sea God's mount, I've seen everything."
"Which do you think is more powerful at the same time, Brother Yu or the Sea God?"
The White Shark Clan Leader took a deep breath.
"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, I have to say, this child's strength and talent far surpass those of the Sea God back then."
"Indeed very impressive."
"Hehe," Bai Xiuxiu giggled sweetly.
"Why are you happy when I praise him?" the White Shark Clan Leader said, exasperated.
Bai Xiuxiu stood up straight with a righteous air, her full chest puffed out.
"Because he's my boyfriend."
The White Shark Clan Leader was just about to scold her when her eyes suddenly shifted, and her countenance changed drastically.
"Daughter, if there's nothing else, leave quickly, go to your Brother Yu," she said.
Bai Xiuxiu pouted, "You still have so much to teach me, how can I leave now?"
"Go, let him teach you," the White Shark Clan Leader had now come to a realization.
If her daughter really ended up with Luo Yu, the Sea God's inheritor, how could her future be anything but bright?
She might even attain godhood.
Speaking of which, if not for the connection her daughter already had with Luo Yu, she would even be interested herself.
