"Alright, let's go to the Sea of Annihilation then!"
She had chosen her target: the Sea of Annihilation, a basin at the deepest part of the entire Ancient Sea Abyss, known as the Graveyard of the Deep Sea, where falling in was tantamount to dying halfway.
"Young lady, are you going to the Sea of Annihilation?"
Suddenly, a gentle, soothing voice rang out behind Leng Yue, startling her.
"Who are you!" Leng Yue drew her sword and slashed. It wasn't that she was being reckless, but this was the Ancient Sea Abyss, and she had no chance of survival if she attacked first.
"Little girl, why are you in such a hurry!"
The calm voice seemed to have a soothing effect, and the agitated Leng Yue gradually calmed down in the face of it.
"Who exactly are you?" Leng Yue finally saw the speaker clearly. It was a woman who was half human and half snake. However, it was not quite accurate to say that she was half human and half snake, because the woman had a pair of white coral dragon horns on her head, which, combined with her exquisite face, made Leng Yue, who was human, feel that she was infatuated with her.
The definition of ugliness is racially divided, but beauty is absolutely universal.
"Who I am is not important. What's important is who you are and what you're doing here? You should know that the Sea of Annihilation is a place of death. There's no need for you to be so reckless," the woman said with a smile, though the smile was somewhat strange, as if it belonged to a different face.
"I……"
Remembering that she needed to keep her identity a secret, Leng Yue changed the subject and explained, "I am a mermaid. A friend of mine got lost here before, and I want to find her."
"Is it a boy or a girl?" the woman actually asked, and her response was quite natural, as if she had known Leng Yue for a long time.
"The girl, of course, and some of her companions as well." Leng Yue didn't dare to reveal everything, because she couldn't trust anyone here.
"A girl? Could she be your good friend?" The woman seemed determined to get to the bottom of it.
Hearing this, Leng Yue became wary. She waved her hand and said, "Thank you, senior. I'll go find it myself. I won't trouble you."
With that, Leng Yue swam towards the depths.
Leng Yue initially thought the woman would leave, but she was clearly mistaken, as the woman followed her directly.
"Don't misunderstand, I actually know divination. If you can provide specific information, maybe I can help you find your friend," the woman continued to explain, following behind Leng Yue.
"real?"
Although Leng Yue didn't believe it, she had no clue at the moment. If she were to stumble upon a lucky find, it would save her a lot of trouble.
"If you don't believe me, I can do a divination for you!"
The woman flipped her hand and took out a tortoise shell and several seashells, then began to fiddle with them. After immersing herself in the divination for a few breaths, she looked up and stared at Leng Yue with her deep eyes.
"You're just like me."
The woman's sudden five words left Leng Yue at a loss for words.
"What do you mean, 'same as you'?" Leng Yue asked, puzzled.
"Painful yet unforgettable, loving yet unrequited, letting go yet unwilling to give up, resigned yet unwilling to accept it."
The woman paused for a long time, and finally whispered with a puzzled expression, "In the end, my life is full of regrets."
"What are you talking about? I don't know." Leng Yue shook her head and denied the other woman's statement. Even though the woman's words had touched her heart, she was unwilling to express her own thoughts.
"Love is selfish; giving in will only make you the one who suffers the most." The woman stared intently at Leng Yue.
Leng Yue felt uneasy under the other person's gaze. Without thinking much, she immediately thanked her and turned to leave. The other person gave her a very unusual feeling, because even though she had already reached the Nascent Soul Realm, she could not see through the woman in front of her. Clearly, she was an extremely powerful sea creature.
Leng Yue dared not trust the sea creatures of unknown origin, because she was unsure whether they were good or evil, and this journey could not afford any further mishaps.
The woman watched Leng Yue walk further and further away and calmly said, "I know where the Sea-Stabilizing Needle is."
"you!"
Leng Yue's steps came to an abrupt halt. She turned around and looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief. The woman actually knew the purpose of her visit to the Ancient Sea Abyss.
"Who exactly are you?" Although Leng Yue didn't know the other party's purpose, she was definitely not simple.
The woman remained calm after being questioned, and instead spoke slowly and deliberately: "There is a legend among mermaids that at the end of the sea, one can see their future. If you are not satisfied with your future, you can use your most precious possession to change it."
Leng Yue listened to these words without making a comment.
"Want to come with me and see your future? Or to put it another way, see if he's in your future, and if you're in his!"
