Yan Luoyue asked hurriedly: "Xiao Ling, no, Ling Shuanghun has been here?"

She still remembered that the reason Xiao Ling went to the Biluo River was because she received a message from her elder brother Ling that abnormalities had repeatedly occurred in the Biluo River, so she went there to record them.

From this perspective, could it be that Ling Shuanghun had previously had contact with the mermaids?

When they heard Yan Luoyue mention "abnormal", the mermaids looked at each other and then burst into laughter.

"What's the anomaly? Is it the anomaly of silver striped fish swimming up in the winter? We drove them here unintentionally when we were hunting."

"Could it be that human cruise ships always stop for a long time when passing by the Biluo River? Half a year ago, a sister was seen by them and seemed to have a picture of her. The picture spread among people, so they all came in groups to look for us."

"If it is an anomaly that dozens of sect teams passed by the Biluo River and stopped here, then we used the Mermaid Silk as a reward to invite them to come down..."

"And more..."

The young ladies talked to each other and soon completed the whole matter.

Yan Luoyue was stunned as she listened.

It turned out that the important matter that caused Ling Shuanghun to leave was actually a mixture of a small amount of coincidence and many requests from the mermaids.

Yan Luoyue said: "You have met so many monks, is there no one who can solve your problem?"

Hearing her question, the gentle and beautiful mermaids all shook their heads.

Their ears, which were like translucent fins with a hint of colorful coral texture, trembled slowly, making Yan Luoyue's fingertips itchy and she wanted to reach out and touch them.

Quan Xiang raised his tail and drew a ripple in his hand that looked like jumping musical notes.

The mermaid held her cheek with one hand, talking and laughing in a cheerful tone.

"That historian, although he was unable to resolve our doubts, he did tell us many stories about the outside world."

"Yes." The mermaid with a sky-blue fish tail laughed, "It's a story about a little turtle and a little snake!"

"A story about the Thousand Refinements Conference!"

“The story of Yue Lao Temple!”

"And there's also "The Legend of Keeping One's Words"!"

Yan Luoyue: “…”

No, please don't tell the last story anymore, she will really thank you.

Yuanbo's white crane was unable to help these mermaids, but the mermaids still treated him warmly.

Everyone covered the historian with a thin silk cape and took off the pearl from his forehead and gave it to his friend.

It is said that a curious mermaid combed the crane's feathers, plucking one, two, three feathers quietly while combing...

The snow-white feathers were passed like a baton from the innocent mermaids, almost making the prim and dignified young historian run away on the spot.

In other words, Ling Shuang's soul had already been combed away.

The white crane flapped its wings and was about to fly, but the next second, two mermaids leaped out of the water like rainbow light, and one of them grabbed the red-crowned crane's thin legs - hey, come down!

When hearing this part of the story, Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang thought of the scene at the same time and couldn't help laughing.

However, despite feeling relieved, Yan Luoyue was more confused.

"Even with Xiao Ling's profound knowledge, I can't solve your problem. What is it?"

Quan Xiang pursed her lips and smiled, tapping the water lightly with her soft webbed fingers, stirring up a string of splashes like musical notes:

"Then please come with us."

A dozen mermaids rushed up, surrounded the three of them and sank into the water.

The feeling of diving into the water is somewhat magical. Due to the buoyancy of the water, my whole body feels light and floating, as if all the heavy burdens I carry in my daily life are being washed away by the water.

Besides this, Yan Luoyue's limbs became lighter and his movements became slower. Whether he waved his hands or kicked his legs, it seemed as if there was a thick layer of gentle breeze between them.

Turtles and snakes are naturally fond of water. The feeling of being surrounded by water is like returning to their happy hometown.

Yan Luoyue suddenly remembered something, slowed down his swimming speed, and took the initiative to move towards Wu Manshuang.

“Is it okay to stay in the water for a long time?”

You know, the little snake is poisonous.

Normally, you just need to wear clothes and avoid being touched by others. But now that it is soaked in water, the toxicity will definitely spread in the water.

Yan Luoyue was not worried about everyone's safety.

After all, although Wu Man Shuang's current control ability cannot penetrate into the blood, it can already replace the toxins leaked from the skin.

As long as he is willing to restrain himself, the situation of being in danger of death will definitely not happen.

...So far, the several toxins that Wu Man Shuang has researched for replacement seem to have some obvious side effects.

Like hair removal, pinking, fluorescent green...

Thinking of this, Yan Luoyue looked down at his wrist consciously to make sure that his expression did not change suddenly.

Wu Manshuang nodded and said softly, "It's a new poison that can cause slight paralysis... It's diluted in water, so it shouldn't be a problem."

As soon as he said this, Yan Luoyue couldn't help but grab Wu Manshuang's wrist out of curiosity.

As soon as her fingers approached the water around Wu Manshuang, she could already feel the effect of the poison - like the slight feeling of weightlessness in her head when the elevator just started.

If the elevator is of good quality or the person is not too sensitive, some people may not even notice it.

The little snake was a good snake who kept his word. The "slight numbness" he mentioned was indeed just "slight numbness".

Yan Luoyue did not stop because of the feeling of weightlessness. She continued to reach out and hold Wu Manshuang's wrist.

Around Wu Manshuang, the concentration of toxins increased to another level.

The moment Yan Luoyue grabbed Wu Manyhuang, he felt a slight tingling sensation on the palm of his hand, a bit like being hit by the electric sparks from a pullover when changing clothes in autumn.

That's all, nothing more.

Raising his eyebrows, Yan Luoyue couldn't help but recall the scene a year or two ago when Wu Manshuang simply touched the back of his hand with her fingertips, and his health points instantly dropped by three thousand.

Compared to that time, Wu Manshuang is much more approachable now.

Sure enough, when being a stray cat, it is inevitable that its claws will become sharp, and it will also affect the ecological environment.

But once they become domestic cats, these little cuties will learn on their own to retract their claws, exposing their paw pads, and will not push people away no matter how hard you suck on their pink paws.

Now if we replace the cat with a snake, the same principle applies!

Yan Luoyue thought with a little pride: Keeping snakes at home is safe and harmless!

Wu Manshuang didn't know what kind of weird ideas Yan Luoyue was thinking, but he could clearly feel that the people around him were distracted.

Although it is easier to swim with someone, but...

Helplessly looking down at Yan Luoyue's action of wrapping her wrist, Wu Manshuang fully suspected that her palm was probably numb and she had no feeling at all.

So, in the end, he had to take action and gently pry open Yan Luoyue's fingers one by one, and then take them off his wrist.

Finally, with the help of the buoyancy of the water, Wu Manshuang used Yan Luoyue's entire arm to perform a standard freestyle swimming move for her.

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Wu Manshuang himself must not have realized that when he performed this series of actions, he had an unconscious warm smile on his face.

It was as if a sweet strawberry suddenly grew in the corner of the yard that I had ignored.

It was as if the white clouds in the sky turned into soft frosting and melted silently into the rain.

And this smile happened to be caught by Yan Luoyue's eyes.

Looking through the pure white shark silk mask is like looking through a filter made of frost and hoarfrost.

Yan Luoyue thought absentmindedly: This... is not only harmless, but also very cute.

…

The mermaids dived into the shallow river and came to the home they had prepared, where they entertained Yan Luoyue and his group.

There are more than a dozen mermaids on the water surface, and there are even more mermaid ladies underwater!

Yan Luoyue's toes touched the soft river sand and she looked around curiously.

The environment in the water is different from that on the shore. The most common spiritual wood furniture in the world of cultivation is nowhere to be found at the bottom of the river.

The clever mermaids use shells, pearls, algae and beautiful, round pebbles to embellish their living environment.

If it is a saltwater mermaid, it is said that it will also collect various types of corals.

The mermaids are ingenious in color matching, giving this small home a hint of exotic flavor.

Yan Luoyue swam a circle under the water and felt a lot in her heart.

"The fairy tales never lied to me..."

It turns out that mermaids really do sleep on clam shell beds!

There were dozens of huge clam shells scattered on the river bottom. The largest one was big enough for three mermaids to roll around in at the same time.

Seeing Yan Luoyue's curious look, Quan Xiang pursed his lips and smiled, then formed a spell in his hand and opened the clam shell.

There is no clam meat in the big clam, but it is covered with layers of snow-white and soft shark silk.

Deep inside the shells there are one or two pretty little fish with bright colors, tangram puzzles woven from seaweed, and toy rattan balls that are nested inside each other.

Quanxiang threw herself into the pure white mermaid silk as white as clouds, bounced a bit at first, and then rolled around with great satisfaction.

The beautiful fishtail spreads out on the mermaid silk, as if adding a layer of pearlescent luster to this noble fabric.

"Wow, a big river clam..."

Quan Xiang smiled. She sat up, took Yan Luoyue's hand, and then they rolled into the clam shell bed together.

At this moment, beneath them was the snow-white and soft mermaid silk, and on the clam shell above their heads hung a pearl the size of a fist. For a moment, Yan Luoyue almost thought she had come to a fairy tale land.

The next moment, Quan Xiang spoke, bringing Yan Luoyue back to reality.

The mermaid smiled playfully and said, "Our secret method can grow river clams to very large sizes. However, like the mermaid's tears, this is also an exclusive method that is not sold to the public."

As she spoke, she hospitably picked up the small fish she had kept in a clam shell and handed it to Yan Luoyue.

Yan Luoyue was surprised by the pet: "Oh, it's so beautiful, is it a pet?"

"No." Quan Xiang smiled suddenly, her bright and clear eyes reflected Yan Luoyue's shadow, and she shook her head a little confusedly, "I'll give it to you to eat."

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Yes, unless it is a strange fire from heaven and earth, ordinary fire cannot burn in water.

As long as the mermaids don't have the habit of cooking with strange fire, they must eat raw food.

Surrounding Quanxiang's large clam shell bed, the mermaids all dragged their long tails and floated down like fairies.

First, Chang Lili was pushed onto the bed, and then Wu Manshuang was put up and placed together with Yan Luoyue.

The mermaid sisters laughed and swam left and right, up and down, surrounding Gui Yuanzong and his two companions.

The soft and slightly cool beautiful tail fin swayed and passed in front of Yan Luoyue's eyes from time to time, creating beautiful ripples on the water, and sometimes even rubbed against Yan Luoyue's temples.

Just like a cat that can't help but chase after infrared spots, Yan Luoyuexia was consciously attracted by the beautiful big tails.

Wu Manshuang clenched her fist to her lips and coughed lightly.

Yan Luoyue consciously moved to the side to make more space for him.

Wu Manshuang: “…”

That's not what he meant.

Perhaps because of the water wave processing, Wu Man Shuang's voice became a little strange.

"Do you like long flat tails?"

"Hmmmm!" Yan Luoyue answered absentmindedly.

At this moment, she was staring at a super gentle and beautiful mermaid girl, and her attention was attracted by her.

This little girl's big tail is a combination of light pink and mint green!

When the translucent tail fin that looked like a double-flavored ice cream deliberately passed in front of Yan Luoyue's eyes, Yan Luoyue's eyes almost went straight.

Come on, it’s actually ice cream color matching, this is super cool!

Yan Luoyue was salivating, and stretched out her hand on the spot, and asked in a trembling voice: "Can I touch your tail?"

The ice-cream-colored mermaid girl smiled sweetly, and her fishtail bounced forward playfully, and she stuffed her entire big tail directly into Yan Luoyue's arms!

"You're so cute." The mermaid gently stroked Yan Luoyue's cheek, "Of course you can."

Ahhhhhh——

She let me suck on her color-blocked ice cream fishtail and praised me for being cute!

Yan Luoyue hugged the beautiful fish tail and rubbed it, instantly intoxicated by the tenderness of the mermaid girl.

Great! Cool and smooth! The delicate touch of this scale!

Yan Luoyue wished she could bury her whole face in the mermaid's tail, and was completely absorbed in sucking the fish.

The slippery tail moved in Yan Luoyue's arms, and Yan Luoyue's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Ohh! That's amazing! It can even create triple water waves with ripple patterns..."

Suddenly, there was a burst of giggling screams from the young ladies around. Yan Luoyue turned around following the sound and found that Wu Manshuang had turned into a snake without her knowing when!

"Hey, Manshuang you..."

Why did it suddenly change shape?

Mermaid sisters are so rare, why don’t you hurry up and suck more fish while you are in human form?

Yan Luoyue looked at her little friend and couldn't help feeling confused.

"It's okay." Wu Manshuang said nonchalantly, "It's a bit stuffy in the water when I'm in human form. After turning into a snake, I can swim better, so I changed back."

“That’s right.”

For a second, Yan Luoyue really believed it.

However, the next moment, the snake, who was very good at learning, began to use its tail to create water waves.

Wave patterns, one, two, three...

Just like humans learning to skip stones on water, Wu Man Shuang worked extremely hard to learn how to use her tail to suppress water waves, and in one breath she suppressed the wave pattern to the fifth level!

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Yan Luoyue suddenly understood something.

If Senior Brother Xiao Yuan had not suddenly appeared and transformed himself into a snake, he would have transferred his lifelong buff to Wu Man Shuang.

Of course, the only reason Sheshe suddenly did this was...

Yes, of course I would feel jealous if I couldn’t play with my good friends.

Yan Luoyue, who had figured it out, suddenly laughed.

She deliberately teased her little friend: "Oh, I just discovered that Manshuang actually has a tail."

The snake's tail swayed back and forth, making ripples in the water, and then it stopped.

Wu Man Shuang, who was in snake form, opened her eyes, but quickly closed them to avoid accidentally hurting innocent people.

—Wait a minute, what do you mean by “just discovered” that he has a tail?

But...it's been six years, six years, and I just realized he has a tail?!

Yan Luoyue added: "Man Shuang's tail also has super beautiful scales, like jasper, cool and smooth, and each scale seems to have been specially polished, so delicate."

The slightly darker green snake froze for a moment after being praised, and then began to splash water waves as if nothing had happened.

This time, the little snake directly popped out a six-fold wave pattern.

——Sure enough, it was just a slip of the tongue.

It has played the role of a bracelet and also appeared as an armlet. Such a soft, practical and multifunctional tail must have been noticed a long time ago.

Yan Luoyue smiled and emphasized: "And after thinking about it - after all, the long round tail is the cutest!"

Hearing this, the little green snake's round head seemed to nod twice inadvertently.

But the cute round tip of the tail curled up silently, stretched out spontaneously, and then wrapped around Yan Luoyue's wrist.

“Hahahahahaha!”

Seeing the two kids quarreling and then making up at this point, the mermaid girls couldn't help but laugh.

"Little Luoyue is so cute!"

"Little Manshuang is so cute!"

“I love them so much!”

Amidst all the laughter and joy, only Yan Luoyue looked up helplessly:

Along with the cool, snake-like tail that wrapped around her wrist, there was also a slight, numbing static sensation.

However...

Smiling and stretching out a hand, Yan Luoyue did not retreat but moved forward, and once again touched the beautiful jade-like snake tail.

"Well, my favorite is still the long round tail."

…

After being entertained by the mermaid ladies and experiencing the dreamy feeling of the clam shell bed paired with the mermaid silk mattress, Yan Luoyue also invited everyone to have lunch together.

This is when you can see the wisdom of keeping extra food in your storage bag and replacing it with new food from time to time.

At least she took out dried fish of various flavors and invited dozens of mermaids to eat together. Yan Luoyuesi was not panicked at all!

After having a good meal, Quan Xiang finally led the three of them to the source of the problem she mentioned.

"Look, it's right here."

Quan Xiang pointed to a small vortex of quicksand hidden by the sand on the riverbed. "For example, here, what can you feel?"

The vortex was only half the width of an adult's fist. If it were a strong and healthy person, he probably wouldn't be able to even fit his arm in it.

Yan Luoyue separated the spiritual energy, and felt it carefully, his expression changed slightly: "It's demonic energy."

Even though that demonic energy was very faint and subtle, and could not be detected unless one experienced it carefully, it was undoubtedly from a demon.

——But why is there evil energy under the water?

Could it be that this place is connected to the Demon Realm and there is a crack?

Quan Xiang did not comment on Yan Luoyue's answer.

She neither nodded nor shook her head, but cast her gaze to Wu Manshuang who was standing beside her: "What about you?"

Wu Manshuang said firmly: "Demonic energy."

"...Alas, it is just like that." Quan Xiang sighed in distress.

"But, from the perspective of all of us mermaids, what is constantly coming out of this vortex is not evil energy, but a whistle for help."

"...whistle?"

Yan Luoyue suddenly remembered that when they were approaching the waterfall, Chang Lili took out a whistle and blew it.

Could it be that...

"Well, that's the mermaid whistle that only us mermaids can hear. Different whistles have different meanings. But as long as we hear the mermaid whistle calling for help, no matter if we are from the Biluo River tribe or not, everyone will go to greet her and help her."

At this point, Quan Xiang stared at the vortex of quicksand in a trance:

"However, the whistle here has been sounding for half a year..."

For a full six months, they were of no help at all.

Hearing this, Chang Lili nodded, faced Yan Luoyue's gaze, and spread her hands.

Apparently, she was also one of the people Quan Xiang sought help from.

After investigating, Chang Lili also did not feel anything other than demonic energy.

Wu Manshuang lowered her head and pondered, while Yan Luoyue thought for a moment, then raised her head and asked, "What do others say?"

"At first, some monks thought that this was another rift connecting to the demon world that needed to be sealed. As for the mermaid whistle who asked for help, it might be that a mermaid was trapped here by mistake."

Quan Xiang explained everything in detail: "However, I and everyone else have tried it one after another. This quicksand vortex is extremely small, and even the head cannot be inserted into it. Because it collapses, it cannot expand. Alas, we have even leveled the riverbed."

Yan Luoyue measured with her eyes and felt that given the size of the mermaids, they could not get in, and the most they could do was to twist their tails in this vortex.

As for the demonic energy here...

"Several sects have sent people to investigate and confirmed that such a faint demonic energy is not a new crack. Perhaps a demon escaped from a nearby seal and happened to die in the vortex, and its body stagnated here, forming such a subtle demonic energy."

Yan Luoyue pointed out sharply: "But you don't believe this explanation."

"Yeah, we can't believe it." Quan Xiang said in a daze, "We can hear the mermaid whistle day and night... That should be our mermaids asking for help, how could it be judged as a monster, or even a corpse?"

Hearing this, Wu Man Shuang suddenly spoke.

"I know a spider that deliberately smells like a female moth when it hunts."

Under the snow-white mermaid silk, Wu Manyhuang looked at Quan Xiang quietly.

"The male moths mistakenly think there are female moths waiting to mate here, so they follow the smell and bump into the spider web, becoming the spider's delicious meal."

After proposing a possibility, Wu Manshuang's voice was calm, calm, and even had a sense of decisiveness that hit the nail on the head.

"How do you know that this isn't a trap set by someone who wants to hunt you and take advantage of your kindness?"

Quan Xiang was slightly stunned: "This..."

It seems that no one has thought about it in this direction.

Seeing her lost in thought, Wu Manshuang added, "The first time I was hunted, someone set up a scene to trick me."

He unconsciously rubbed his knuckles and murmured: "Those people made me think... they were innocent and were poisoned by me and were about to die."

Because she had learned from previous experience, when Wu Manshuang heard Quan Xiang's request for help, she immediately thought of a similar experience.

The next second, Wu Manshuang's hands, which had been unconsciously clenched, were gently pulled by Yan Luoyue.

After a brief pause, Wu Manshuang quickly smiled and said, "Not anymore."

He is now able to control some of his toxicity and will not be fooled by similar tricks again.

"Yeah, yeah." Yan Luoyue agreed repeatedly, "That's really too much, we must make up for it - next time when Xiao Ling and I meet up, the three of us will team up to trick others. We'll lie down and try to scam people from 800 meters away, and trick them until they lose their pants."

Wu Manshuang: "...That's not necessary."

The sadness that had just arisen in my heart was instantly completely diluted by this plan.

Wu Manshuang laughed dumbly, knowing what Yan Luoyue meant, and took her hand and shook it.

Quan Xiang was obviously entangled because of the idea proposed by Wu Manshuang, but Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang did not disturb her.

The two of them approached the small quicksand cave entrance and lay down at the entrance to look down.

It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

Yan Luoyue threw a fluorescent bead into the water, but it was still pitch black underwater, without any sign of illumination.

However...

Comparing the size of the cave entrance, Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang muttered, "With our demon forms, we can just sneak in."

Needless to say, Wu Man Shuang is a very thin snake.

Although Yan Luoyue has grown a little, his turtle form is much smaller than his human form. If he tries hard, he can still squeeze himself in.

Wu Manshuang smiled and said, "If they still insist, I will dive down and take a look."

Anyway, we must get enough mermaid pearls for Yan Luoyue.

"Then I'll come too."

After staring at the hole for a while, Wu Manshuang suddenly asked, "Luoyue, do you think this is a trap?"

"I don't know." Yan Luoyue was also a little confused. "If it was a trap, why was it set in a place where the mermaids couldn't get down, and why was it blown for half a year?"

Even the dumbest hunter, if he can't catch a rabbit in one place, should know to set his trap in another grass nest.

"Yeah, it does make some sense." Wu Manshuang murmured.

"Actually..." Yan Luoyue suddenly started a conversation.

"Um?"

To Wu Manshuang's surprise, Yan Luoyue suddenly asked a somewhat strange question.

"Manshuang, in your inherited memory, are mermaids considered demons?"

"What?" Wu Manshuang blinked in confusion. "Mermaids... demons? But aren't mermaids a demon race?"

"...Yeah." Yan Luoyue laughed at himself, "Maybe I'm just desperate and trying all kinds of methods."

Yan Luoyue just suddenly remembered that in the game "All Worlds Become One", the mermaid race was classified as the demon race.

Actually, if you think about it, the most obvious feature of the demon race is that they have two forms: human and demon.

In human form, even a sea monster like an octopus can walk freely on the shore.

However, mermaids are born with a human body and a fish tail. When they transform into human form, they also need nourishment from water after a period of time.

Even if their long tails are transformed into legs, they still have thin fins like colorful gauze on their calves and arms, and their ears are also in a special shape like coral.

If this is used as the identification standard, then mermaids may not really be classified as demons.

This is the same principle as the spider having eight legs, which means it is not an insect.

However, since everyone in the world of immortal cultivation assumes that mermaids are demons, they may have their reasons.

Although there are many things that are consistent with reality, "One World" is just a game.

Not only were the demons in the game different from those in the world of immortal cultivation, Yan Luoyue had no impression of the monsters that crawled out from the seal of the demon realm.

At this moment, Quan Xiang, who was not far away, suddenly raised his head.

"Mermaid whistle." She murmured to herself, "There is a mermaid asking for help."

Dozens of mermaids nearby also moved together with her.

The mermaids swam upstream with their broad tails, strong and decisive, like colorful ribbons rising to the surface of the water, or like an aurora rising from the bottom of the river.

Yan Luoyue was almost stunned by the beauty before her, and was a little slow in catching up.

When Yan Luoyue followed the team of mermaids and finally surfaced, she could hardly believe what was happening before her eyes.

After covering the eyes with the shark silk, the water vapor no longer becomes an obstacle to the vision.

So Yan Luoyue was able to see a gentle and beautiful woman standing on the bluestone at the top of the waterfall.

She was barefoot, wrapped in snow-white shark silk, and had bright scarlet thin fins on her calves and arms, which were nourished by the water vapor and looked particularly bright.

"Cui Jiasong, we are done!"

The woman raised her head slightly, and her gentle and soft voice was set off by the sound of the waterfall, which actually brought out a hint of determination.

With an almost dull look in his eyes, Yan Luoyue uttered a long string of very authentic standard lines:

"From now on, we will go our separate ways. You and I will part ways and be happy. I wish you and her a long and happy marriage!"

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Ah this...

She wanted to say something, but felt speechless.

After saying this, the woman leaped decisively downwards. Her figure blended nimbly into the waterfall, obscured by the surging water, as if she had melted into the magnificent scenery of heaven and earth.

At the top of the waterfall, a man's heart-wrenching cry came: "Wanzhi——"

The next second, a man in white also jumped down.

However, at the same time, dozens of mermaids under the waterfall made gestures at the same time.

They surrounded the mermaid who had returned to the tribe and manipulated the waterfall to create a wave that went upstream with overwhelming force.

The surging water of the waterfall, with the concerted efforts of the mermaids, weaves into layers of raging waves.

The torrent turned into a huge crazy whirlpool that could easily crush rocks, break flying swords, and break human bones.

Under this tremendous power of heaven and earth, the man was thrown back to the shore, covering his broken ribs and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

However, he did not care about his own situation and immediately climbed up the big rock at the edge of the waterfall and looked down.

The man was not covered with silk gauze and could not see the scene below the waterfall clearly.

He could only see that the suddenly crazy waterfall had shattered the fish, and the bright red blood had condensed into a ball in the water and then slowly dispersed, as if a woman had been hit by the rapids, and was shattered to pieces, with no remains left.

“Wanzhi——!!!”

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Damn it, even Yan Luoyue was stunned.

For some reason, at this moment, a very familiar feeling slowly arose in Yan Luoyue's mind.

It is as if a reader has expertly skipped the initially abusive content of the novel and jumped directly to the chapter titled "Crematorium".

“…”

He opened his mouth, but even though Yan Luoyue was knowledgeable, he couldn't utter a word!

Wanzhi fell into the water, her legs clasped together, turning into a wide, beautiful scarlet fish tail, and her tears turned into crystal clear pearls.

The mermaids surrounded her and took Wanzhi back to the bottom of the river.

They stuffed Wanzhi into a soft clam bed and draped her with gorgeous colorful mermaid silk, replacing the white mermaid silk she was originally wrapped in.

Slowly, Wanzhi's heaving shoulders calmed down, but her tears continued to flow into the river.

"Still sad?"

“It must be very sad.”

"Then weave it out, weave out all your feelings!"

With everyone's encouragement and support, Wanzhi began to weave the shark silk quickly.

Yan Luoyue noticed that although the material was pure white, what was formed in Wanzhi's hands was actually a piece of red mermaid silk.

The color of the mermaid silk is as bright as the setting sun, infinitely beautiful, yet with a sense of melancholy as dusk approaches.

As the mermaid silk was gradually woven, the tears in the eyes of the mermaid named Wanzhi became less and less.

At the same time, her expression gradually calmed down.

Until the end, Wanzhi regained her peace and joy, and even smiled sweetly at Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang, who were still strangers to her.

She said shyly and innocently, "Hello."

Yan Luoyue blinked unexpectedly: "Hello to you too."

Subconsciously, Yan Luoyue turned her head and met Quan Xiang's gaze.

Noticing the confusion in Yan Luoyue's expression, Quan Xiang pursed his lips and smiled, pulled her aside, then untied the light golden silk gauze draped over his shoulders and wrapped Yan Luoyue inside.

"……ah."

Yan Luoyue let out a faint cry of surprise.

It was difficult for her to describe the feeling of being wrapped in the colorful mermaid gauze: the moment the golden mermaid gauze covered her skin, a warm and bright feeling flowed into her heart.

It felt warm and comfortable, like basking in the sun in the cool spring breeze.

It's a feeling of abundance, of fullness, of being loved.

The next moment, Quan Xiang took the golden mermaid silk away from Yan Luoyue's head.

Experiencing the feeling of being covered by the mermaid silk, and thinking back to what he had just seen, Yan Luoyue suddenly understood.

"You can fill colorful mermaid silk with emotions - no, you can use emotions as material to weave mermaid silk?"

The most common one on the market is the ordinary pure white shark silk.

As for the colorful mermaid silk, it is said to be able to cause hallucinations, create dreams, and see the floating life, but its number is extremely rare.

Now, Yan Luoyue finally knew how the mermaids weaved colorful mermaid silk.

"Yes." Quan Xiang smiled and curved her eyebrows. "We, the mermaids, are born with love and no hatred. We are a race that was born with love."

During the long life of mermaids, they often fall in love with many foreign men one after another.

——The specific number generally ranges from three or four to thirty-seven or thirty-eight.

The reason for the inequality is that the length of this love depends on the length of the other person's life or the length of love.

They will live with them on land for a while until the other's life ends or their love ends, and then they will return to the tribe alone or bring their newborn mermaids.

Then, everyone lived happily together for a while, spinning shark silk, brewing pearl tears, catching fresh fish...

They spent a happy and wonderful time together until another mermaid wanted to go ashore and fell in love with a new foreign man.

Quan Xiang's soft and sweet voice sang like a song:

"If you fall in love with an unworthy man like Wanzhi did, then weave all your feelings for him into the mermaid silk."

"When our feelings are exhausted and the silk is woven, we can all be together happily as before."

Yan Luoyue was slightly stunned, then quickly swam over and pinched the red mermaid silk.

As expected, the feeling of the mermaid silk draped over the skin carries with it nostalgia, sadness, and a sour yet lingering love that is like a mermaid crying under the moon.

However, at this moment, Wanzhi, who had finished weaving the mermaid silk, was sitting on the clam shell bed, shaking her beautiful fish tail and smiling.

They formed a circle and used their tails to create ripples that spread to Wanzhi in circles.

"Wanzhi Wanzhi, are you still sad?"

"Don't be sad!"

"Wanzhi Wanzhi, are you still sad?"

"I'm not sad!"

"Wanzhi Wanzhi, you're finally back. You came back so early this time!"

"Yes, I really want to eat fresh fish, the freshest silver fish!"

Everyone laughed and swam hand in hand to find the sweet and delicious silver herrings.

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Quan Xiang swam over from behind, and his arms with thin fins gently wrapped around Yan Luoyue's shoulders.

"That's it. When we meet the man we love, if he is a good man who is worth loving, we will fall in love happily, love him for the rest of our lives, and have children with him."

"After he passed away, we took our daughter back to the tribe and wove our love and memories for him into the most beautiful piece of mermaid silk - such mermaid silk will never be sold."

"We must wear this love on our bodies and only take it off when we need to go ashore and fall in love with someone else. When our lives come to an end, we will pass on all the love we have stored in our lives to our daughters."

The daughters grew up wearing the silk woven by their elders and have always lived in the most abundant love.

They are surrounded by true love every moment.

Precisely because they have experienced true deep love, the sharks can detect it as long as their lover changes a little bit.

——If it makes you suffer, it is not true love.

——If it makes you feel confused, entangled, and repeatedly torture your inner self, it is not true love.

——It will make you lose your soul and endure the same pain as the little mermaid in the fairy tale having her fish tail split open with the tip of a knife. Of course, it is not true love.

When love changes, every mermaid knows that it's time to leave.

Mermaids are born with love but no hate, so what happens when love disappears?

——They left with the love they once had.

Yan Luoyue's gaze fell on Quan Xiang's shoulder: "That deep love... is just like this light golden silk, right?"

"Yes."

Quan Xiang buried her face in the pale golden silk with a gentle expression:

"He is a very beautiful and very proud sunbird."

Yan Luoyue turned her head and looked at Wanzhi's clamshell bed. The red mermaid silk was casually thrown on the bed.

"Then, like Wanzhi's Jiaoxiao..."

"Oh, then we can sell them to the outside world. As long as we find an opportunity, we will sell them to humans."

Unlike the ordinary white mermaid silk, humans are willing to pay a high price to buy this kind of colorful mermaid silk.

Yan Luoyue: “…”

Wait, wait a minute.

In this case, it sounds like humans are being taken advantage of...

Quan Xiang showed a thoughtful expression: "Sometimes, there are foreign men who will regret after separation. They will chase us to the riverside and beg us to go back with them."

Yan Luoyue vaguely realized what Quan Xiang was going to say next.

"So you guys..."

Quan Xiang nodded as a matter of course: "So, we will increase the price of the shark silk that we wove for him several times and sell it to him."

Anyway, this kind of mermaid silk can be sold.

So it doesn’t matter who you sell it to.

Yan Luoyue: "... Well done!"

But she really didn't expect that mermaids would have this kind of ecological form.

Come to think of it, if a race that is born with the innate love and no hatred can survive for such a long time without being eliminated or extinct, they must have some special and ingenious abilities.

Touching the tip of his nose, Yan Luoyue murmured, "I saw that you asked Senior Sister Chang to breed fish... I thought that your need for asexual reproduction was urgent."

Hearing Yan Luoyue's guess, Quan Xiang giggled and held her in his arms, spinning around in the water.

"It's not that urgent - but now that we know Lili and know that this world of cultivation is changing all the time, we are willing to try a new way of reproduction in advance."

"After knowing this, you will be surprised, right?" Quan Xiang said to Yan Luoyue with a smile.

"When you and Xiao Manshuang leave, everyone will weave their thoughts about you into a piece of colorful silk and give it to you."

"Uh, wait a minute," Yan Luoyue suddenly realized something, "In this case, will you still miss us?"

"We will still think of you because our love for you remains."

The endless flow of love will continuously breed longing and tenderness.

Therefore, the mermaids will not weave their love into mermaid silk until their loved one dies or the relationship breaks down.

Quan Xiang flapped his tail slowly and explained: "As for the longing that was once born for you, it will be taken away by you as a gift."
