Cheng Shuang was on high alert. After her encounter with Bora, she didn't have a high opinion of mermaids. If they dared to treat her like takeout, she would dare to feed them to her black cat, Ka, like dried fish.

The amphibious vehicle floated erratically on the sea. Du Jun glanced at the little girl with her lips pursed and asked softly, "Are you nervous?"

"Don't be nervous!"

Cheng Shuang shook her head.

"Aren't you nervous?"

"Um!"

"Then why did you equip the Black Cat Defeo card?"

Hearing the young man's teasing, Cheng Shuang clenched her cat paws, her delicate eyebrows revealing a fierce expression. "If they dare to bewitch us, I'll scratch them to death." Moreover, the black cat can see through illusions, so with it, she doesn't have to worry about her mental strength being insufficient and allowing the mermaids to take advantage of her.

Du Jun tilted his head to look at the little black cloak that had somehow climbed onto his shoulder, reached out and patted the monster, letting it lazily spread out in a starfish shape on his shoulder.

The car travels much slower on water than on land. Fortunately, when they arrived at their destination, the two figures that resembled mermaids did not swim away. Cheng Shuang became even more certain that they had deliberately lured her over. So, she opened the sunroof on the car, poked her head out, and waved.

Hello!

Du Jun chuckled. The little girl tilted her head, grinned at him, then smiled and shouted, "Friends from the sea!"

The young man completely covered his face, trying to hold back his laughter.

The friends in the sea obliged and gradually rose to the surface. A blond young mermaid with hair more dazzling than gold and a silver mermaid woman as gentle as water looked hand in hand at the little head that was emerging from the car.

Although they are not friendly to humans, they can still tell that the two people in front of them are two young children, especially the girl who greets them.

"Strange human cubs with animal ears, what is your purpose in coming to the ocean?" the young man asked authoritatively.

Cheng Shuang puffed out her cheeks, her stubbornness refusing to be tested, and asked directly, "Didn't you ask me to come?" The little girl turned to look in the direction of the castle, and said meaningfully, "If there's anything, please tell me as soon as possible. I need to go back to the castle. Uncle, you and this beautiful lady have been exploring this sea area for a long time, haven't you? You should already have some understanding of the Countess's temperament. It would be better if you just said so, so that neither of us wastes the other's time, okay?"

Cheng Shuang was so bold because she could see that the beautiful female mermaid's sapphire-like eyes held no malice whatsoever, but rather a mother's loving care and anxiety.

A conspiracy theory flashed through the little girl's mind for a moment: Could Bora be a mermaid baby stolen by humans and raised by the countess from a young age?

The merman youth's lips twitched. Wasn't it the strange human with long animal ears who called this cub "uncle"? Should he retaliate immediately, calling it "uncle" and its wife "big sister"...?

The female mermaid, impatient with her husband's roundabout way of speaking, which she had learned from humans, tentatively swam to the strangely shaped, pink iron creature. Looking down at the little girl staring at it, she earnestly asked in her beautiful voice, "We want to ask if there is a silver-haired mermaid in Algard Castle?"

"Could you answer one question for me first?" The girl looked away. Although the other person did not use any bewitching abilities, the captivating charm contained in those azure eyes was enough to make one blush and feel flustered if one looked at them for too long.

Actually, the mermaid sister's features are not as delicate as Bora's, but she has an outstanding temperament, with an aura similar to the ocean that embraces all things.

The young mermaid's blue eyes, as mysterious and unpredictable as the ocean, are equally captivating, yet they also inspire a sense of great danger.

"Go ahead and say it." The female mermaid was quite patient with her cubs, even though she was really eager for an answer.

"What is your relationship with the silver-haired mermaid?"

The two mermaids exchanged a glance, their concerns evident.

Cheng Shuang's eyes flickered slightly. Were they worried that humans would exploit this relationship and cause some negative impact?

"I only have this one question," the little girl said firmly.

They did not deny that they had been exploring this area for a long time, so Cheng Shuang guessed that the king and the countess had already given orders that no one should publicize Bora's existence, especially to keep it a secret from other mermaids.

As a result, the two mermaids could not confirm Bora's existence.

Their relationship is not hard to guess: relatives or enemies, it's a choice between the two.

Enemies are easy to deal with, but as for family members, the little girl will put aside her excessive sympathy.

The female mermaid bit her lip, and finally stared intently into Cheng Shuang's eyes as if confirming her suspicions. She saw that although the girl possessed the cunning that all humans could not avoid, her eyes were clear and bright. She made up her mind to tell the truth, but was stopped by the young mermaid who quickly grabbed her arm.

"Don't be impulsive! Humans can't be trusted!" the young mermaid warned loudly, his voice stern. "At least make her swear a solemn oath!"

Swearing isn't enough, you have to swear a solemn oath! Cheng Shuang and Du Jun rolled their eyes at the same time. Do all the NPCs in this dungeon live in a world centered on themselves?

On what grounds do they swear such a solemn oath? This kind of "debtors are God" mentality is unacceptable!

Du Jun started the car and turned it around to drive towards the seaside.

The female mermaid panicked, desperately pulling her husband away. She used her silver tail to block the car with her body, her voice filled with pleading, "Forgive my husband! He has been deceived by some cunning humans. That silver-haired mermaid stole our things; he's a thief! My dear human child, we won't fight him; we only want to get back what's rightfully ours!"

Finally, there's a fish that understands.

When Cheng Shuang saw Du Jun stop the car, she knew that he also agreed to continue the conversation.

What's the name of the silver-haired mermaid?

"Polvinslatch".

"I only know one blonde mermaid named Bora." Cheng Shuang wouldn't trust female mermaids based on just a few words from them.

Mermaids despise humans for being cunning, and the little girl even despises them for being cannibalistic and cruel!

"That's it! That's it!" The young mermaid suddenly roared uncontrollably, his blue eyes blazing with intense anger. A gale instantly swept across the sea, and the flimsy toy car, like a floating duckweed, swayed and tossed about with the waves, almost tipping over several times. It was only when the female mermaid saw that things were not going well that she hooked the car's rearview mirror with her tail and slapped her husband's face, forcing him to calm down.

Du Jun immediately pulled the little girl back, because there was no time to close the sunroof and a lot of water had flooded into the car.

Since it was an inexpensive toy, we couldn't expect too much. As soon as the car was stable, the two children started pouring seawater out.

The young mermaid knew he had overstepped his bounds and needed a favor from the humans he originally looked down upon, so he coughed twice and mumbled an apology while the two human children were busy, only to be met with a cold sidelong glance from his wife.

Cheng Shuang and the other person didn't care; they were eager to hear what grudge the two mermaids had against Bora.

Now that things have come to this, there's no point in hiding it. To capture Bora, they must rely on the humans in front of them. The two fish exchanged a glance, and the female mermaid slowly recounted their grievances.
