After leaving the message, Ye Bai searched the surrounding area again to make sure nothing was missed, and then set off once more.

[3 kilometers ahead, face an immortal monster]

Ye Bai had walked less than a kilometer when he ran into an acquaintance: bartender Henry.

He stood beside a secluded pool, completely unaware of Ye Bai's arrival, and muttered to himself,

"Forty years have passed; I never imagined I'd have the chance to set foot on this island again..."

Henry's eyes darted around as he recalled events from the past.

"When I set sail, I was just a poor boy. After a storm, my ship sank and I was washed ashore on this island."

You saved me, not only healing my wounds but also keeping me young forever...

A clichéd love story.

A handsome young man with nothing else falls in love with a kind and considerate mermaid.

However, due to certain reasons, they could not stay together for long.

After Henry left Mermaid Island, he was unable to go to sea due to the "curse of the sea god".

Even today, he heard that someone was going to set sail in the Blade in search of the mermaid's treasure.

Henry realized that his opportunity had come, so he tried to go to sea with Ye Bai.

really!

The Blade overcame the storm and brought him to Mermaid Island.

Returning to this place I've longed for, I'm finally able to see my beloved again.

Henry didn't recall for long.

He took out a leaf and whistled.

The whistling was extremely penetrating and carried throughout Mermaid Island.

Before long, the pool began to stir.

First came tiny bubbles, then ripples spread, and under Henry's excited gaze, a dark figure leaped out from the bottom of the water!

"The Little Mermaid!"

Ye Bai opened his eyes wide, wanting to see what the legendary mermaid looked like.

Mermaid, mermaid.

At least it has the word "beautiful" in it, so it shouldn't disappoint Ye Bai.

Judging from Henry's taste, he doesn't seem to have any unusual preferences.

To fall in love with a mermaid, one must at least pass the test of appearance.

If she's too ugly, she should be called an "ugly mermaid".

As the water splashed away, the dark shadow revealed its true form, fully exposed to the sunlight.

Henry and Ye Bai were both stunned.

How can it be so ugly?!

The legendary mermaid:

Its upper body is that of a fathead fish, with its mouth opening and closing, revealing sharp, interlocking teeth. Its gills move constantly, emitting a fishy smell.

Large fish scales and fish body extended all the way to the knees before the 'human' features appeared.

The calves are like human legs, pure white and flawless.

But what's the use of that?

"If you have any legs, you can also get the achievement of 'Legs for a Year'."

Ye Bai shook his head.

"But you only have half a leg, so walking is difficult for you."

With looks like that, even Henry could fall in love.

Kouqu—

There was no room for him on the return ship.

Unlike Ye Bai, Henry reacted more strongly, looking around blankly.

"Where is the mermaid? Where is my Jane?!"

The half-fish, half-human monster spoke, "#￥%！#%....."

"I am Jane, my dear Henry, I have waited for you for forty years!"

With the "eye of insight," no language is a barrier to communication.

Ye Bai raised an eyebrow, realizing that something was wrong.

Forty years ago, when Henry met the mermaids, they probably weren't like this.

What happened during this time?

A sudden inspiration flashed in Ye Bai's mind.

The supreme being, Xiaoyao, has been here!

I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine, and I felt really unwell.

What exactly did Xiaoyao say that turned a beautiful mermaid with perfect looks into an ugly mermaid with negative scores?

To figure this out, it's easier to just ask directly.

Ye Bai emerged from the shadows, startling the bartender.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not here to steal your wife."

Ye Bai pointed at the ugly mermaid and said seriously,

“I have some knowledge of mermaid language, which can help you communicate.”

Henry was overjoyed and blurted out:

"Then quickly help me find out where Jane went!"

Ye Bai said heavily, "She said she is Zhen."

"Impossible! You're lying to me, absolutely impossible!"

Henry shouted as he pulled a drawing from his pocket, which he had commissioned an artist to create based on his memories.

The mermaid in the painting is indeed very beautiful.

The ugly mermaids of today are only good-looking and can only be criticized.

The difference between the seller's photos and the buyer's photos is just too big!

"Accept reality, bro, stay strong."

Ye Bai patted Henry on the shoulder, trying to calm him down.

Henry took a few deep breaths and spoke again.

“Jane, can you tell me what happened?”

The fathead fish nodded and said,

"Your ship was sunk by us. After it sank, we took all the crew members to the shore, pretending they were washed ashore by the tide, and then rescued you by chance..."

Listening to Ye Bai's translation, Henry's expression turned as ugly as if he had eaten honey shit.

"What's the point of you doing this, just to fall in love with humans?"

Henry didn't understand. Given the mermaid's appearance back then, there was absolutely no need for such trouble!

Just post a picture! No one can resist falling in love with a mermaid.

The fathead fish continued,

"In order to lure you deep into Mermaid Island, so that the daughter of the sea god can devour you and restore your strength..."

Ye Bai's gaze darkened slightly.

The story is starting to get interesting.

The daughter of the sea god sent mermaids to sabotage passing ships, then lured sailors to Mermaid Island to eat them.
