"Ma'am, step aside! Don't let this Merfolk offend you."
The male behind, who had been swinging the whip, immediately stopped when he saw Bai Wanwan.
The Merfolk lying on the ground tilted his head up. His broken yet stunningly beautiful face was fixed on Bai Wanwan, but he didn't cry out for help.
Still, covered in wounds, he was a pitiful sight.
"Why are you hitting him?"
"Ma'am, I don't usually hit these Beast Pets. It's just that he's too difficult to tame and is always trying to run away."
"And does hitting him stop him from running away?"
"Well, no."
"Maybe it's because you hit him that he keeps trying to escape. If you tried a different approach, he might be willing to stay on his own."
Bai Wanwan pointed at his shimmering scales. "Look at this... such a beautiful fishtail, and you've injured it like this. Do you think you'll get a good price? Why are you even raising him? Isn't it to trade for more and better things? Like this... can you even sell him?"
