The forbidden area of the mermaids is an underwater basin. It is the cemetery of the mermaids, and every dead member of the tribe is buried here.
After receiving the message, Shao Qing immediately rushed to the forbidden area.
The two people who "broke into" the forbidden area were Xue Huan and Pei Ji who followed the guidance of the Five Elements Beads.
They didn't know that they had entered the forbidden area of the mermaids. After stepping into this place, they saw the lifelike mermaid sculptures standing inside, and both of them were a little surprised.
Following the Five Elements Beads, the two came to a sculpture of a mermaid with black hair and a golden tail. The mermaid wore a necklace around her neck, and a black stone hung below the necklace. It was the Black Sky-Repairing Stone they were looking for.
Realizing that there was no danger around, Xue Huan reached out to take off the necklace.
At this moment, a powerful spiritual power attacked her.
Pei Ji immediately embraced Xue Huan and retreated, forming an aura shield in front of him to block the aftermath of the attack.
Shao Qing came in front of the two of them with a flick of his tail. Just as he was about to attack again, he saw Xue Huan's face and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "It's you?"
Unexpectedly, the person she was about to catch actually came to her.
After Xue Huan and Pei Ji went into the water, they no longer maintained the illusion. After all, they didn't have to worry about being recognized or having their beauty coveted by anyone in the water, so what Shao Qing saw at this moment was her true appearance.
However, just as humans are face-blind to fish, Shao Qing, a mermaid, is also face-blind to humans. She judges people not by their appearance, but by their smell.
So it made no difference to her whether Xue Huan was disguised or not. She recognized her as soon as she came in front of her.
"Why did you come to our mermaid forbidden area?"
Xue Huan: "Forbidden area?" It's obvious from the sound that this is not a place that can be easily entered.
She pointed to the black sky-repairing stone and said, "We are here for this."
Shao Qing took a look at the stone and didn't find anything special about it.
Treasures are self-concealing. If they don't want to be discovered and used by others, they will usually restrain their aura and become ordinary. Therefore, this black sky-repairing stone looks very ordinary to Shao Qing.
Xue Huan was about to explain when Shao Qing said, "Forget it, this is not the place to talk. Let's leave first."
She took them both to the hall in the Crystal Palace.
When Shao Jiu saw Shao Qing coming back and bringing two humans with him, he was surprised at first, but then he recognized Xue Huan and became delighted.
"Great! We were just about to look for you, but we didn't expect you to come here on your own."
Xue Huan withdrew her curious gaze from the Crystal Palace and asked, "Looking for me? Why?"
Shaojiu blurted out: "Catch you and cook for us!"
The hall fell silent, and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.
Xue Huan chuckled, breaking the silence, "It seems we've walked into a trap."
Shao Qing also laughed, "Haha, don't listen to his childish nonsense, I was just talking, how could I really catch you?"
Shao Jiu muttered, "How am I young? In a short while I will be three hundred years old and an adult."
Three hundred years old...adult...
If we calculate based on this, wouldn't mermaids be able to easily live for a thousand or eight hundred years?
Xue Huan was very envious. Mermaids were truly a race blessed with natural advantages.
She took out a bunch of food from her storage bag, including prepared dishes, snacks, spiritual fruits, juices, and wine. The variety was so satisfying that it filled up several tables.
When they saw the food, Shao Qing and his mother's eyes immediately lit up. Shao Jiu had just said that he was not a child anymore, but now his statement was exposed. He cheered and rushed over like a little child, grabbed a piece of cake with one hand and started eating.
Shao Qing tried to act more reserved, but she wasn't much better. When Xue Huan said, "Let's talk while we eat," she sat down and grabbed the pig's trotter that she had been eyeing and started eating.
Xue Huan and Pei Ji dived all the way to the bottom of the sea. It was not convenient for them to eat on the way, so they took fasting pills when they were hungry. Now seeing the two of them eating so happily, he couldn't help but feel hungry and started eating too.
After eating a lot, Shao Qing and her son, who had huge appetites, still didn't feel full, so Xue Huan started making barbecue on the spot.
The ingredients are all top-notch and extremely fresh. Shao Qing can catch a lot of delicious fish and shrimps in just one trip.
Xue Huan also felt itchy when she saw this and couldn't control the desire to cook.
When they were almost done eating, Xue Huan said to Pei Ji, "You go ahead and tell me."
She had explained it to the Xiwa people before, and she didn't want to repeat the same thing again.
Pei Ji spoke concisely and told the whole story from beginning to end.
Shao Qing burped contentedly and wiped his fingers, "I can give you that stone."
Xue Huan was delighted when she heard this, but she instinctively sensed that she hadn't finished her words yet, and sure enough, she added, "But I have a condition."
"What conditions?" If it was like Huang Tian's, she would not agree.
"Cook another ten, no, a hundred meals for us." Shao Qing said, still feeling a little unsure.
However, Xue Huan heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this condition. For her, this condition was simply too simple!
She agreed immediately, "No problem!"
Seeing her so straightforward and frank, Shao Qing couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. She seemed to have said too little. But one hundred meals is not a small amount!
When she thought about being able to eat the delicious food she cooked a hundred times, she felt that there was hope for the future.
Xue Huan and Pei Ji stayed in the mermaid tribe for three days. Half of the time was spent cooking fancy meals for the mother and son, and the other half was spent being taken around by Shao Jiu to visit various places.
The underwater world is very mysterious to humans, but for the mermaids, the entire ocean is their back garden. With Shao Jiu, the native, leading them, they enjoyed the scenery of the underwater world.
If time wasn't so tight, Xue Huan would have wanted to stay here longer.
But there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
Before leaving, Shao Qing stuffed her with a lot of marine specialties, and Xue Huan also left a lot of food.
After emerging from the sea, the two embarked on a journey to find the last piece of sky-repairing stone.
The two of them searched the rest of the place and found a few pieces of sky-repairing stones, but none of them were yellow. If they wanted to "repair the sky", they had to collect five pieces of five-colored stones representing different properties.
I'm afraid it's just as Huang Tian said, he is the only yellow sky-repairing stone in the world.
Finally, the two had to find Huang Tian again. This time, he fished in a different place, by a river with a rushing current.
He lay on his back on a large rock, an open book covering his head, and his fishing rod held between his toes.
Xue Huan glanced at the book. She hadn't paid much attention to it at first, but then she glanced again. Hmm? This title—
The Movie King's Confused Little Wife???
Look at that colorful comic-style cover, it's obviously a modern novel!
Where did he get this book?
It can't be that he transformed it!
