The two beasts' conversation veered slightly off-topic for a moment before returning to the main point.
"While the group was crying out in pain, the merfolk from the Endless Sea came out to investigate. White Wolf and I wanted to stop the rainstorm, but when we saw them, we gave up the idea."
"Oh, why is that? Could it be that they are hideous? That shouldn't be the case. The legendary mermaids have flawless skin like pearls and hair as fine as silk. They are like sea spirits."
Shu and Bailang listened to her description and compared it with the merman they had seen in their minds.
I think "completely unrelated" is the most apt description.
"If that were truly the case, how could White Wolf and I have allowed the torrential rain to fall across the entire Endless Sea?"
The more he talked, the more curious Qin Luo became about what kind of appearance he had.
This allowed the two beasts to willingly expend their remaining energy to expand their workload across the entire Endless Sea.
"What do they look like? You two, describe them quickly."
Shu really didn't want to mention it, so he glanced at the white wolf.
White Wolf didn't care, since they were already back at base camp.
"They were not skin as white as pearls and hair as fine as silk, but rather had faces like demons and hair as thin as silk."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo and Wu Hua spoke at the same time.
There was not a trace of fear of the unknown creature on his face, only curiosity and longing.
"What? A bald merman?"
"Yes, they had mouths full of sharp teeth, their skin looked like it was ulcerated, and their claws looked sharper than swords."
Qin Luo even doubted whether the two of them had made a mistake.
"Are you sure that's a merman and not a water ghost?"
Shu nodded affirmatively.
"What Bai Lang and I first saw was the fish tails that ripped across the water as they swam. They were gorgeous and dazzling, definitely mermaids."
Qin Luo and Wu Hua were both bewildered after hearing this. Wu Hua resolutely refused to believe that the merman in the picture book would look like this.
"We've never seen a real mermaid. Could they be a mutated species? A real mermaid should be as beautiful as Luo Luo described."
Qin Luo didn't want to shatter the child's yearning for a better future, so she went along with what he said.
"That must be it. In this small world, even resentment can be transformed into spiritual energy, so it's highly possible that water ghosts could become mermaids."
After she finished speaking, Wu Hua seemed to have found a way out.
“Yes, Luo Luo is right. Those ugly monsters must have been hired by Ming Yi to impersonate water ghosts. Your rain was beautiful and cleared away all their resentment, turning the water ghosts back to their original forms.”
When the rain was mentioned, both Shu and Bailang fell silent.
Qin Luo knew then that the main event was about to begin.
"What's wrong? Didn't you two finish cleaning?"
There was a hint of self-reproach in Shu's reply.
"The spiritual spring water fell into the endless sea and was swept away by the current. Although some mermaids were transformed back into ordinary ugly fish, many more were unharmed..."
The white wolf's tone this time was a mix of self-reproach and anger.
“Those who had previously said they would join us have all turned against us and complained to the merfolk about our ‘evil deeds.’ The merfolk leader was furious upon hearing this and immediately launched an attack on us.”
"They...they even said they would wipe out our Floating Pagoda Sect..."
After they finished speaking, Qin Luo and Wu Hua were not as flustered as they had imagined.
Instead, he calmly inquired.
"So how did you escape?"
Upon hearing this, Shu and Bailang both sighed.
"We stayed in the space for three days, absorbing all the energy inside, before we crossed the barrier and escaped back."
"Yes, you almost didn't get to see us again."
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua immediately urged the two beasts...
"You two shouldn't stay outside. Stay in my space for the next few days until your energy is restored before coming out."
Shu Que still looked worried.
"Besides the merfolk, there are countless sea monsters in the Endless Sea. If we really fight, we have no chance of winning. We caused this trouble, so what's the point of hiding now?"
Wu Hua's attitude was firm; with a wave of her hand, she took them inside.
"It's not time yet. You two just focus on your cultivation. If there's any real danger, I'll call you then."
Upon hearing this, Shu and Bailang had no choice but to quietly repair their own energy within the space.
So that when the great battle comes in the future, I can contribute my share.
After Qin Luo and the other two beasts left, he seemed somewhat anxious.
“Little one, that barrier was probably set up specifically for you.”
Wu Hua, however, seemed to have known all along.
"I know, and I estimate that not only the Endless Sea, but also the other continents should have isolation barriers."
"Then you're not worried at all?"
"What's the use of being anxious? For the sake of the lives here, we still have to go."
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo realized that it was indeed true.
"Shu and Bailang have almost exhausted their energy after this round trip. How many more rounds can we last?"
Wu Hua felt that she must be overthinking things, and her mind had become dull.
"What are you worried about? Have you ever run out of superpowers?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo's eyes seemed to light up.
“That’s right. As long as we give the barrier the same energy as you, we can get through. Then I will help you recover. It will be slower, but it’s better than nothing.”
After she finished speaking, Wu Hua raised an eyebrow at her.
"At least you've become a little smarter. Let's go to the council hall for a meeting, settle things here, and then we'll venture into the Endless Sea."
"good."
The disciples of the Floating Pagoda Sect today, though their previous cultivation has been destroyed...
However, Wu Hua used her life force to create a spiritual vein at the entrance of the sect.
In addition, the abbot and other elders created their own cultivation techniques.
Finally, they were gradually embarking on the correct path of cultivation, and the disciples were also afraid that they had killed too many people.
Their future in the underworld will likely be bleak; they know that ascension is their only way to save themselves.
