Chapter 416 The Mermaid's Bride
As Huali sat on the moonlit scales, the tide had just begun to wash over the edges of the reef.
She looked down at the mermaid, as if she were immersed in an intertwined dream.
The moonlight shattered into flowing silver foil on the crests of the waves.
She was about to get up.
But it was then battered down by the waves.
The sound of waves was constant all around, and tiny sprays of water carrying bubbles climbed up the shell and then receded, leaving only winding traces of moisture on the surface of the giant clam.
The tides surge.
It seems so, I can't stand it either.
These waves come and go.
This is the Eastern Sea in the mortal realm, the place said to be closest to the moon.
A breeze blew by, swallowing up the faint sounds along with the waves.
As the moonlight spilled out, a deep hum came from the distant sea, like a giant creature churning in the water.
The waves crashed against the rocks, their warmth, like moonlight, creating swirling eddies around the giant clam shells that sheltered the rosewood.
Karin felt a shiver run down her spine.
She had never felt this way before, the sea breeze gently caressing her hair.
Amidst the ebb and flow of the tides, high above, dominating all.
When the waves reached their highest point, she couldn't help but look up.
“Little bird…” her voice trembled.
Who guides the tides?
*
The answer is mermaid.
Under the moonlight, the pearl around the mermaid's neck swayed gently, like a wind chime hanging under the moon.
As the tide rises to waist level, the silk gauze outlines the taut lines of the hips in the undulating waves.
That was the mast that guided navigation, and also the anchor point for sacrifice.
A shimmering, bubble-like light drifted across the edge of the giant clam shell, and pearls swirled like a star map around the mermaid's collarbone.
His beautiful tail fin swayed slowly in the darkness, the faint light peeking through the gaps in his scales in sync with his breathing.
The mermaid's eyelashes and butterfly wings trembled as she tilted her head back, revealing her Adam's apple pierced by the moonlight.
The taut curve resembles the arched neck of a swan as it skims across the water.
Yan Xi held Hua Li's hand and brushed it behind his ear, the girl's clear figure reflected in his deep blue pupils.
This is his god, the master of everything.
"Who did you say...it was?"
Huali's expression changed slightly.
Yan Xi silently curved his lips into a smile, his eyes flushed red like crabapple blossoms in April, and he whispered:
"My little benefactor, what are you thinking about?"
Huali gritted her teeth and remained silent, instead looking up at the moonlight.
At this moment, the humming of the distant sea no longer surged endlessly, but gradually coalesced into a deep chorus.
In the distance, it seemed as if a giant whale was leaping out of the sea, creating fleeting splashes of water in the air.
When the whale reached its highest point, it paused in mid-air for a few breaths before suddenly plummeting downwards.
The moment it leaped back to the surface of the sea, all the pearls in the entire area trembled.
Yan Xi's gaze remained fixed on Hua Li.
Those deep blue pupils contracted as the tail changed shape, like the moon being slowly swallowed by shadow during a total lunar eclipse.
Huali was drawn in, turned around, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"The Little Mermaid's tail turned into... legs?"
Instead of the beautiful tail fin swimming in the water, the clear skin gradually revealed from the ankle bone was now visible.
With the soft sound of bones reassembling, Karin's fingertips trembled slightly, and her expression changed repeatedly.
In just a few seconds, the mermaid's smooth tail fin curve gradually narrowed into two gentle arcs, and the remaining webbing between its toes slowly disappeared.
Yan Xi was in control of everything, beads of sweat sliding down his cheeks.
When the newborn's legs were fully revealed, he bit his lip, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
The rustling of tiny pearls, however, is not a sign of pain.
Unfortunately, the little money-grubber didn't have time to pick them up this time.
