Due to her parents' unexpected passing, Gu Xinyan resolutely quit her job in the big city to take care of her blind grandmother and her little brother. She returned to her hometown and inherite...
Chapter 219 Mermaid
This 'guest' is definitely not one to follow the usual path!
Moreover, this 'guest' probably had been secretly watching them since they first arrived, but just didn't show himself. He's really good at hiding!
Gu Xinyan couldn't help but feel a little curious, after all, she was about to meet the local natives.
The question that had puzzled me all morning has finally been answered.
So she winked at Lu Yunting, who was carrying a bucket next to her, and gestured towards the store with her mouth.
Lu Yunting, who had been given a hint, looked in the direction of the store, but did not see anything unusual about it.
However, Gu Xinyan's hint meant that they probably had 'guests' coming.
After exchanging a few seconds of eye contact, the two quickly put away their beachcombing tools and moved closer to their companion.
After briefly explaining the situation, the group quickly headed towards the store.
However, they didn't make a big commotion, at least not before they arrived and disturbed the 'customer' inside the store, right?
However, no matter how much they guessed, they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the 'customer' in the store.
The reason was that the 'guest' in front of them had a golden fish tail, but the upper body was human.
Her long, wavy blonde hair was casually draped down her back, adorned with several pink seashells and pearls.
Her upper body was wrapped in a very light and thin gauze, and the ornament around her neck was also made of seashells, which was very delicate and beautiful.
However, on that slightly immature little face were a pair of big golden eyes, as if they could speak.
She was staring at them intently, seemingly surprised that they had returned so early, a hint of panic on her face.
Beautiful? A mermaid? Or a little mermaid! She looks like a child who is only about ten years old.
When Gu Xinyan and the others saw the little mermaid in the store, they were momentarily stunned. They had considered many possibilities, but they never expected it to be a mermaid.
However, seeing her panicked expression, Gu Xinyan quickly spoke up to comfort her:
"Don't be nervous, we're not bad people, we just want to know where we are. We all came here by accident."
Perhaps seeing that the group truly meant no harm, the mermaid Ellie secretly breathed a sigh of relief; she had sneaked out to play.
It was so boring inside the palace. Her father usually wouldn't let her come out, let alone go ashore to play.
They said there were terrifying fish-eating beasts on the shore that specifically hunted them, which terrified her.
But she had heard from her friend Mili that there was actually nothing on the shore, and that sunbathing on the rocks was very comfortable.
There was also a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see, which looked very magnificent, and she longed to visit it.
Ever since she heard those words, she has always longed for the outside world, but her father, the emperor, is very strict and only allows her to play in the palace, not to go out.
After holding back for so long, she finally seized the opportunity today. Taking advantage of her father's expedition to hunt bluefish beasts in the open sea, which would keep him away for a while, she secretly slipped out.
The outside world was indeed as her friend Mili had described: dense forests that looked completely different from the seabed, like another world altogether, beautiful and mysterious to her.
And the warm sun made her unable to resist lying on the rocks and taking a nap. Little did she know that she would sleep until now.
If these people hadn't suddenly appeared on the rocks where she was sleeping, she might not have noticed them at all.
And these people appeared very suddenly. She didn't know where they came from. It was as if they appeared out of thin air. The moment she saw them appear, she hid in the sea.
After all, she had always remembered what her father had said, so she had never dared to show her face, for fear that she would be captured by them.
Even though she had just smelled that delicious aroma, she couldn't resist it, even though she didn't know what kind of food it was.
But at the last moment, she held back and waited until now, seeing that they had all gone to the beach, before she secretly slipped over.
I didn't expect that I would be caught red-handed so soon after sneaking in.
Ellie, the Little Mermaid, was inwardly crying, and a look of grievance appeared on her face.
Her two big eyes were also filled with glistening tears, as if she was about to cry, leaving Gu Xinyan and the others completely puzzled.
Why are they crying now? They didn't seem to have done anything, did they? They just comforted them!
"Um, we're really not bad people, don't cry! Did we scare you?"
Gu Xinyan's heart melted when she saw those big, watery eyes staring at them. Being beautiful was definitely an advantage.
Staring into those big, watery eyes, I couldn't help but soften my voice.
Even Lu Yunting and the others beside him did the same, but none of them spoke, after all, the mermaid in front of them seemed a little timid.
If they made a sound, they might frighten her, so they all suppressed their excitement and restrained their curiosity.
But in his mind, he kept muttering, "A mermaid! Alive, holy crap! They've really made it big, they actually saw a real mermaid."
That golden fish tail was almost blinding them! Just as fairy tales say, no mermaid is ugly.
Upon hearing this, Ellie blinked her large, watery eyes, glanced at the several beautiful people in front of her, and her panic subsided slightly. She then spoke softly:
"Who are you? Why are you here? This area is the territory of the sea creatures. You are not allowed to come here without an invitation."
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan and the others exchanged glances. Although they knew they had truly traveled through time, they hadn't expected that the place they had come to was so extraordinary.
They were saying, "Why haven't we seen a single person or beast around here? It turns out this is the territory of the sea tribe, and their territory is quite large."
Despite their inner complaints, their smiles remained unchanged, as they still needed to gather information about this world. Thus, Gu Xinyan, the representative of the group, spoke up.
"We really came here by accident. We are all from China on Earth. We were fishing at sea when we were pulled here by a portal of light. Could you tell us where we are?"
