Jiuxi's face froze. She had never thought that the mermaids couldn't control water. Then she looked at the mermaid princess awkwardly, with a hint of sadness in her eyes. She said, "Ever since I was born, I've had the ability to control water. Because of this, I've been considered a freak of the mermaids. Only my brother has always protected me..."

As she spoke these words, she desperately tried to gather her emotions, and because of her efforts, her eyes finally became warm and moist. Just as tears were about to fall, she hurriedly stopped. A mermaid's tears turned into pearls. What if, by some chance, the tears she shed weren't pearls? Wouldn't that give her away?

Despite having so many flaws, the merman princess didn't notice them. Instead, she took her arm and said to her in a familiar manner, "The mermaids in the South China Sea are all very easy to get along with."

At this time, the male mermaids hurriedly said, "Princess, if you don't go back, I'm afraid His Majesty the Mermaid will be worried!"

The merman princess stuck out her tongue mischievously and ordered, "Return to the palace."

All the mermaids dived into the water beautifully. They shook their tail fins, pushing the water flow and propelling them forward gracefully. The deeper they swam to the bottom of the sea, the more Jiuxi felt that the seabed was truly wonderful. All kinds of fish swam past before their eyes, and there were even sea sharks within reach. However, the sea sharks, being ferocious by nature, did not attack them. Instead, they looked at them listlessly.

After swimming for about half an hour, the scene in front of me changed completely. It was filled with dark red coral reefs. Some of them were as tall as two people and were very magnificent. I could even see the corals constantly wriggling, which made it look a bit creepy.

The mermaid princess took out a jade plate from her sleeve and placed it into the notch on a stone pillar next to the coral. The jade plate was carved with the image of a mermaid, which was lifelike. After being placed into the stone pillar, the jade plate emitted a bright white light, and then the originally densely packed corals slowly spread out from both sides, and a narrow path spread out in the middle.

The attendant beside her carefully took out the jade plate and handed it to the mermaid princess. Then the group of mermaids swam into the trail in an orderly manner, one after another. Ming Ye was very calm all the way. Seeing those mermaids dive in, he hurriedly pulled Jiuxi's arm and swam in as well.

What was strange was that after they all entered the coral reef, the scattered corals actually closed tightly, and there were no more corals in sight. There was only a magnificent palace not far away, standing like a golden island in the sea.

There were several mermaids at the palace gate, all looking at them nervously. Only after they confirmed that there was a mermaid princess among the crowd did they calm down and quickly swam to their side, saying, "Your Highness, you're finally back!"

As he spoke, he led the mermaid princess to swim towards the palace gate. Strangely, when the mermaids climbed up the steps made of white jade, their aqua blue tail fins turned into legs. The legs were slender and flawless, and they were very beautiful. Even the male mermaids had no hair on their legs, which were just darker than the female mermaids' legs.

Ming Ye obviously also noticed this abnormality. At this time, the mermaids turned around and looked at them with a fierce look. If they could not transform into mortals, the guards in the palace would definitely capture them all.
