Just when Meng Qingyin was stunned, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.

"Why are you still standing here? It will be too late if you don't hurry up!"

A mermaid with pomegranate red hair pulled her forward without saying a word, with a look of anxiety on her face.

Her voice was crisp and sounded like a bell, and her face was also beautiful, but it was much inferior to the silver-haired mermaid just now.

Meng Qingyin did not struggle, and it seemed that her identity was not exposed.

In other words, in the eyes of other mermaids, they were of the same race. That made things easier.

But where is this mermaid going to take her?

She looked really anxious.

Meng Qingyin thought for a moment and deliberately swam a little slower.

Feeling resistance on her hand, Shi Liuhong turned back to look at Meng Qingyin and said quickly, "Hurry up, or we'll be too late! Today is the most important day for us mermaids, we absolutely can't be late—and you woke up late too, didn't you?"

"Hmm..." Meng Qingyin nodded perfunctorily and asked tentatively, "What's your name?"

This mermaid speaks very fluently, maybe we can get some useful information out of her.

Shi Liuhong swam quickly forward, pulling Meng Qingyin along as she chattered nonstop, "My name is Jiao Ling'er. I live in the far east, so far from the Sacred Square! If I miss the sacrificial ceremony, my dad will nag me to death! This is a sacrificial ceremony that all mermaids must participate in upon reaching adulthood!"

Meng Qingyin's expression changed. Sacrificial ceremony?

Will all adult mermaids participate?

The image of the silver-haired mermaid flashed through her mind.

The direction she had just left was exactly opposite to the direction they were going now.

If all adult mermaids must participate, wouldn't she be late?

"Oh, why did I oversleep? By the way, what's your name?" Jiao Ling'er's voice interrupted Meng Qingyin's thoughts.

"Oh, my name is Yinyin." Meng Qingyin said casually.

"Jiao Yinyin? It's a very nice name." Jiao Ling'er said.

Meng Qingyin thought for a moment and said, "I just became an adult this year, and this is my first time participating in a sacrificial ceremony. I'm a little nervous. Can you take me with you later?"

This is a great opportunity to learn about the mermaids, and she doesn't want to miss it.

But she knew nothing about the mermaids' sacrificial rituals, and it would be disastrous if she did something wrong and was exposed.

Jiao Ling'er was a little surprised: "Why didn't your parents accompany you to such an important ceremony?"

Meng Qingyin lowered her eyes: "My parents died when I was very young."

"Sorry..." Jiao Ling'er's eyes were filled with sympathy. "Don't worry, I will take good care of you!"

Meng Qingyin: "Thank you."

Jiao Ling'er's laughter was very crisp. "Oh, it's just a simple thing. No need to thank me."

Soon, Jiao Ling'er brought Meng Qingyin to the Sacred Square.

The place is already full of mermaids, almost all of them have thick long hair and delicate faces.

Jiao Ling'er and Meng Qingyin stood at the outermost edge of the crowd, and no one noticed their arrival.

Jiao Ling'er breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, I'm not late."

Meng Qingyin's eyes moved through the crowd, but she didn't find the bright silver hair.

"What are you looking at?" Jiao Ling'er asked curiously.

"It's nothing. It's my first time seeing such a big scene. I'm so nervous." Meng Qingyin said.

Strange, didn’t that silver-haired mermaid come?

Is it because he is not yet an adult?

Jiao Ling'er patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the sacrificial ceremony usually doesn't take too long. Just follow what the other mermaids do. It's very simple."

Meng Qingyin hesitated for a moment and then asked, "What would happen if an adult mermaid didn't come to participate in the sacrificial ceremony?"

Jiao Ling'er's face suddenly became very serious: "I'm telling you, you must come to the sacrificial ceremony on time. This is not a joke. Every adult mermaid will not miss today's sacrificial ceremony, because it is related to..."

Before she could finish her words, a resounding voice rang out from the platform in front of her: "The sacrificial ceremony is about to begin. Remain silent!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the originally noisy square suddenly became silent.

Naturally, Jiao Ling'er couldn't finish her words.

Meng Qingyin was very curious. What did it involve?

She wanted to ask Jiao Ling'er what she wanted to say next, but Jiao Ling'er raised her hand and made a "silence" gesture to her, and her expression was extremely serious, completely different from her lively appearance just now.

It seems that this sacrificial ceremony is very important. For fear of something going wrong, Meng Qingyin didn't ask any more questions.

It would be the same if I asked after the ceremony.

Meng Qingyin looked towards the platform from afar.

In the middle of the platform there is a stone pillar engraved with patterns. The diameter of the stone pillar is about one meter and the height is nearly five meters.

The distance was too far, so Meng Qingyin couldn't tell what the stone pillar was made of, but there was no doubt that the stone pillar must be very expensive.

A mermaid with dark blue hair stood on the stone pillar. After seeing his face clearly, Meng Qingyin was slightly distracted. Are all mermaids so beautiful?

That silver-haired mermaid whose gender is difficult to distinguish is so beautiful that it makes people breathtaking. I didn’t expect that this mermaid with dark blue hair can be comparable to her.

However, the gender of this mermaid is obviously male.

Meng Qingyin's gaze met his through the crowd, caught off guard.

The other person's eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything. Meng Qingyin was startled and looked away.

Samezawa looked at the "fake mermaid" in the crowd and calmly shifted his gaze elsewhere.
