"Hmm... never mind, what do we do now?" After hesitating for a while, Aju decided to give up.
"How did you manage to hide the artifact fragments in the water?" Dongfang Mian asked Yan Lin, who remained silent beside her.
“Like this,” Yan Lin said, making a throwing motion.
"You just threw it into the sea?" Dongfang Mian was stunned. How could someone with such low intelligence become the Demon Lord?
"Of course not, look at me... do I look like an idiot? I threw him in there on purpose," Yan Lin said irritably.
"Where did you throw it?"
"I don't remember."
Seeing Yan Lin's self-righteous attitude, Dongfang Mian was furious and raised her hand to give him a sharp rap on the head.
"Hiss~ You dare hit me!"
"So what if I hit you? Do you have a problem with that?"
"...No"
After answering, Yan Lin wanted to slap himself. He must be seriously ill. How could the Demon Lord submit to a woman? Is this the power of the Chosen One?
Just as Yan Lin was silently analyzing the situation, a boat sailed over from a distance, and the people on board shouted, "Hey! You guys, want a ride or not!"
The two people and the cat paid their money and boarded the boat, their faces flushed with an unnatural blush.
"Which city are you all going to?" the boatman asked.
"...We come from another domain, and this is our first time in the waters, so we don't know much about it. Um, I'd like to ask which city we should go to if we want to find the merfolk?" Dongfang Mian said.
"Mermaids? You must be joking. Mermaids live in the ocean and rarely come out," the captain laughed.
Dongfang Mian fell into deep thought. She had always thought that the merfolk, like the Crimson Tiger Clan, would have their own special cities, but it turned out that this was not the case.
If you live on the seabed, finding the two fragments would be harder than climbing to heaven.
“Oh, right, I just remembered. If you really want to find the merfolk, there’s a water attribute and medical skills competition in Clearwater City on the fifth of next month. A lot of merfolk will come to watch. You can go there and try your luck,” the boat captain said, slapping his thigh.
"Okay, let's go to Qingshui City," Dongfang Mian was overjoyed. This was like a windfall that had fallen right into her mouth.
With water attributes and medical skills, it seems I should participate in this competition. If I can make a name for myself, I can probably communicate with the merfolk better. Dongfang Mian suddenly remembered that when she was in the Crimson Tiger Clan, she was able to infiltrate because of her medical skills.
It was the fifth day of next month, and there was still plenty of time. The boatman hadn't picked up any more passengers, so Dongfang Mian gave him some money to take him and his group on a leisurely stroll around and show them the waters.
The boat captain took the money and began to give a vivid introduction, and Dongfang Mian quickly gained a general understanding of the waters.
I used to think that all the water areas were seas, but it turns out that they are not. There is land in the water areas, but it is relatively small. Most of the people living in them are descendants of the union of sea creatures and humans, and very few are purely human.
Just like the boat captain, who looks no different from a human, but is actually a descendant of humans and dragons.
As for the mermaids that Dongfang Mian was looking for, they were the dominant force in the waters. Mermaids were more talented in cultivation than other sea creatures, and they were also easier to reproduce than other sea creatures. Therefore, they were a dominant race in the waters.
Dongfang Mian became increasingly frustrated as she listened. Looking at her own side—a cat, a conceited saint, and herself—she figured they'd be perfect as a side dish for the merfolk.
