Yin Chen kept his eyes closed and murmured softly, "Was I asleep just now? I think I dreamed about A-Xun... He was calling me..."

Before he could finish his literary rant, his good friend Wenmi rushed over, wagging her pink little tail. With her arms outstretched, she could only catch a strand of his silver-gray hair. She could only shout, "Stop babbling on there! Look, the Mirage Projection shows news about that brat Xiao Xun!"

Li Qi quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "Do you remember the dragon that our Pingyao brought back half a year ago? Xiao Xun is that dragon!"

"Dongjun said there's an interview with Shenlong in the news preview, you'll see it soon!" Lanqi chimed in.

Yin Chen's expression froze for a long time, tears welling up in his eyes, about to fall. After a long, long time, he asked softly as if in a dream, "Is A-Xun alright?"

"Yes, it's alright!" Everyone nodded quickly.

"He's a dragon... So, the way he acted before was because he went back?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Yin Chen was silent for a while, then asked very carefully, "You're not lying to me?"

"No! No! Absolutely not!" The fish shook their heads frantically.

"Whether it's true or not, you can see for yourself! We can't possibly let the Beichuan District Channel broadcast fake news, can we? Just wait a little longer, it'll start soon!" Jiu Li said impatiently.

Yin Chen's eyes opened slightly and then closed quickly, revealing only a line of dark red blood that looked like congealed blood in his eyelids.

He slowly sat up, gently shook his tail fin, and swam little by little in the direction of the sound to the projection screen. Then he quietly curled up his tail and sat down on the ground.

In the short time he was asleep, his silver-gray hair had grown even longer, and as he sat down, it spread around him like blooming flowers.

The news reports played one by one, and he just sat there quietly.

What reassured everyone was that perhaps their words gave Yin Chen hope, so his hair stopped growing and the color of his tail stopped getting darker.

The fan swam over to Kasai's shoulder, leaned close to his black ear fins, and softly asked, "Did you just see A-Chen's eyes? How come he...?"

Kasai's overly sensitive ears twitched slightly. He turned his head to look at the tiny mermaid on his shoulder, which was no bigger than his palm. Its big, adorable eyes stared at him innocently.

Even though she was angry with Yin Chen for leaving without saying goodbye after her child died, as a friend, Wenmi still worries about Yin Chen.

Kasai's lips twitched, trying to keep his voice from being too sarcastic, and he said slowly, "He's cried too much; he's going blind."

As always, his words were unpleasant to hear, which annoyed Kasai. He didn't have to be so controlling in front of familiar fish, but this was the first time he had met Wenmi, a miniature mermaid, and very few unfamiliar fish could tolerate his words.

Sure enough, the fan paused for a moment, looking at the deep-sea mermaid in front of him with a cold and disgusted expression. His handsome but overly sharp, upturned eyebrows, along with his slanted eyes and naturally downturned mouth, formed a face that seemed to say, "I'm very unhappy," "I want to kill a fish," and "Don't mess with me."

However, the miniature mermaid's talent lies in her mental strength. Fans can sense that after feeling frustrated and discouraged, this deep-sea mermaid calms down, leaving only deep concern for Yin Chen.

It's actually a good fish.

The book lovers pondered silently.

The Mystic Bar had never encountered anything like this before. Everyone was quietly looking up at the mirage projection, but what was being shown on the projection was the news.

Finally, after waiting for more than ten minutes, they received the news!

A female mermaid announcer with a dignified and elegant smile sat behind a desk in the projection screen. After glancing at the news report, she said, "The Divine Dragon has existed in the history of mermaids since ancient times and is the common belief of all mermaids. About 1,200 years ago, Mr. Yan Maomao, the founder of modern science and the King of the Witchcraft Mermaids, proposed a hypothesis that mermaids may be descendants of the Divine Dragon."

The image of Yan Maomao, the Queen of the Mermaids, appeared in the projection. Dressed in a black robe, Yan Maomao held a scepter in her hand. On her dark gray fish tail, the edges of each scale were silver-white. The contrast between black and white made each of the mermaids in this race look as if they were naturally wearing a beautiful dress.

Yan Maomao was quite old, and her rather thin body sat in a chair with a backrest. Her gray eyes, full of vicissitudes, gazed peacefully and deeply at the camera, as if she were looking at every viewer through the projection screen.

The very mature voice slowly said, "...This was originally an unverifiable conjecture, but the heroic astronauts of the civilian-built space team, Pingyao, brought us news of the divine dragon..."

Images flashed across the projection screen: the five-fish crew of the Pingyao, their images blurred, returning to the Mermaid Planet and relaying messages; the East China Sea Fourth District handling the landing site; the departure of the three spaceships, Tianyao, Haiyao, and Yuyao; and so on. Then came the spectacular scene from six months ago, when Shenlong descended to earth, with numerous mermaids floating on the sea surface, cheering and jumping for joy.

Yin Chen listened intently.

The dragon they brought back from space was a large stone shaped like a dragon, with an ugly, yellowish-brown color, like a large clay sculpture.

At the time, every mermaid was just cheering because they had seen the dragon fossil with their own eyes; they didn't really believe that the dragon would wake up.

Yan Maomao's deep, steady voice, as familiar as that of an animal documentary, continued: "...Unexpectedly, after the Shenlong fossils descended, they gradually regained their vitality. According to the explorations of scholars from various races, deep within the Shenlong fossils, there are still very strong signs of life, which means..."
