Meng Qingyin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The little fish looked honest, but unexpectedly it was a cunning little creature that actually deceived her.
So, her great-grandmother also lied to her?
Forget it, let’s think of other solutions.
She just couldn't believe that there could be only one kind of small fish living in such a vast seabed.
Meng Qingyin turned around and was about to leave.
"Huh? Where are you going?"
She turned around and saw the little fish looking at her with confusion in its eyes.
Meng Qing was stunned. She thought that this little guy had deceived her. She was just being mean-spirited.
"Why did you take so long?" Meng Qingyin asked.
Xiaoyu sighed, "Alas, my grandmother doesn't want to come out. She just took a peek at you and thinks you're dangerous and might eat her. No matter what I say, she won't come out."
Meng Qingyin was speechless, and suddenly asked, "Then why aren't you afraid of me?"
If the little guy hadn't been peeking at her just now, she wouldn't have chosen it.
Xiaoyu's eyes widened, "I don't think you look scary at all."
On the contrary, it likes her very much.
Meng Qingyin laughed and stopped talking: "Your grandmother doesn't want to come out, what should we do now?"
Xiaoyu shook his tail and said, "Let me think about it... or I should just go and ask her about that mermaid tribe."
Meng Qingyin: "That's the only way."
"Then wait for me here," Xiaoyu warned worriedly, "don't sneak away again."
Meng Qingyin: "...I won't sneak away."
The little fish felt relieved and swam back to the water plants.
Perhaps it was worried that Meng Qingyin would sneak away while it was away, so it came out quickly this time.
"My great-grandmother said she had seen mermaids before!" The little fish's tone was full of pride, as if it had seen the mermaids with its own eyes.
Meng Qingyin was overjoyed, "Really? Then where had she seen him before?"
Xiaoyu shook her tail again and said, "She said it was too long ago and she couldn't remember clearly."
Meng Qingyin's smile faded.
Xiaoyu quickly said, "But don't worry, my great-grandmother is thinking about it, maybe she will remember it soon!"
Seeing that time was passing by, Meng Qingyin couldn't just wait here.
Who knows if Xiaoyu’s great-grandmother can remember it?
"Go ask your great-grandmother where she saw the mermaids," Meng Qingyin said. Then another question occurred to her, "Also, how could she be sure she saw the mermaids?"
The mermaids are very mysterious. How could Xiaoyu's grandmother be sure that she saw a mermaid?
If it was a misunderstanding, then she would just be wasting her time if she went looking for him blindly.
If you are heading in the wrong direction, all your efforts will be in vain.
The little fish swam back to the water plants.
But this time it came out quickly and brought its grandmother out with it.
The body of the grandma fish is half hidden in the water plants, as if it can be protected by the water plants.
"What I saw back then were mermaids, I'm sure of that!" The great-grandmother fish fell into reminiscence, "Because they are so beautiful. Apart from the mermaids, I have never seen fish more beautiful than them."
"Those two mermaids seemed to be a couple... I even heard them mention some kind of pearl, which was their token of love. A handsome man and a beautiful woman, they were such a perfect match, that's why I've remembered them for so many years."
Hearing this, Meng Qingyin's mind moved, "Is it the mermaid pearl?"
This shouldn't count as revealing the mission content, right?
Grandma Yu nodded vigorously: "Yes, that's right, it's the shark pearl! That pearl is so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful blue pearl."
Meng Qingyin thought to herself, it seems that her guess was right, the mermaid pearl is indeed a precious item of the mermaid tribe.
But how many mermaid pearls do the mermaids have?
Could the peacock blue mermaid pearl she is looking for be the same mermaid pearl mentioned by Grandma Fish?
"Do you remember the general direction where you saw them?" Meng Qingyin asked.
The fish was clearly still wary of her. It remained hidden in the waterweed and pointed in a direction with its tail. "I only remember it was over there, but I can't remember the exact location."
"Okay, I understand." Meng Qingyin nodded.
The Grandmother Fish suddenly said, "Oh, right, I remember I passed through a very wide trench! After crossing that trench, I saw those two mermaids."
Meng Qingyin said goodbye to the little fish and swam in the direction that the great-grandmother fish pointed.
I don’t know how long I swam, but the glowing water plants became fewer and fewer, and the vision in front of me became darker and darker.
Meng Qingyin took out the water bead and continued to move forward relying on the light it emitted.
After swimming for more than an hour, just when Meng Qingyin suspected that the great brown fish had remembered its location wrong, the scene at the end of her vision changed.
The originally flat seabed plain seemed to be cut in half by something, with a trench stretching across the horizon.
Meng Qingyin swam forward faster.
This trench is not as wide as the great-grandmother fish said. The cliffs on both sides of the trench are only one meter wide and bottomless.
Meng Qingyin hesitated for a moment. Could the mermaids be under this trench?
She gritted her teeth and swam down into the trench.
Anyway, let’s go down and take a look first.
After swimming down the cliff for more than an hour, she vaguely saw a ray of light coming from below.
How can there be light on the seabed?
Could it be some kind of glowing water plant again?
still……
Meng Qingyin suppressed her excitement and continued to swim downstream.
As the dive got deeper, the light became brighter.
After passing through an extremely narrow passage, the view suddenly opened up and Meng Qingyin came to an extremely spacious place, as if she had entered a different space.
The place is brightly lit, and aquatic plants and corals can be seen everywhere.
What surprised Meng Qingyin even more was that there were actually many beautiful courtyard buildings here.
Meng Qingyin's heart was excited. It seemed that this should be where the mermaids lived.
Just as I was thinking about it, a mermaid swam over from the corner of the building in front.
The reason why Meng Qingyin was sure at first glance that it was a mermaid was because its lower body was a fish tail and its face was so beautiful.
Her long, thick silver hair, like seaweed, reached her waist and gently swayed with the sea water. Her eyes were large and bright, with long eyelashes, and her face was pale and sickly.
Even though Meng Qingyin couldn't tell the gender of the mermaid, the moment she saw it, the only adjective that flashed through her mind was "beautiful", as if the world had been eclipsed.
The mermaid also saw her, but after meeting her gaze, it seemed a little panicked. It immediately lowered its head and turned away. Its weak figure quickly disappeared from Meng Qingyin's sight.
Meng Qingyin was a little confused. It seemed like she should be the one leaving, right?
She was clearly the intruder.
However, since her current identity is a mermaid, if she is seen by other mermaids, will they treat her as one of their own kind or an alien?
After all, her appearance is still her original one, which is completely different from the appearance of the mermaids.
Soon, her questions were answered.
