Legend has it that there are mermaids in the South China Sea, mysterious and beautiful.
The upper body is human, and the lower body is a fish tail.
Whether female or male, merfolk are all beautiful, incredibly graceful, and possess an irresistible charm.
Yu Ruo fell in love with this beautiful man at first sight.
His skin was very fair, his long black hair was as thick as seaweed, and his pair of bright blue eyes shone like stars. The mud on his face could not hide his dazzling light.
Below, the taut waist and abdomen are covered by a long fish tail, the deep sea color like an oil painting, floating with beautiful light and shadow with the sunlight.
It's not scary at all; on the contrary, it's incredibly beautiful.
Who can withstand this?
Yu Ruo quickly tried to save the people—no, she tried to save the fish.
Mermaids are treasures from head to toe; their tears turn into pearls, their scales are woven into dragon silk, and the oil they boil down is used to make everlasting lamps.
If the villagers find out, he will definitely not survive.
Yu Ruo dragged the merman to a secluded cave and delivered food and medicine to him every day while he was collecting seashells.
Soon after, the mermaid awoke and said, "My lady, I will repay your life-saving grace with all my might. I am eternally grateful to you."
Yu Ruo shook her head, "I don't need your gratitude, I want..."
She grabbed his fish tail, the meaning of which was clear.
The merman looked at Yu Ruo with deep affection, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her cheek. "Kind and beautiful girl, I like you too."
Yu Ruo blushed, "Take me away, okay?"
“Sexual exchange is a grave sin, and I do not wish you to suffer this sin,” the merman solemnly promised. “When I return to the seabed, I will bring you a fortune to marry you. Believe me.”
Yu Ruo believed her without hesitation, "I know a secluded path that will take you back to the ocean."
"Thank you, kind and beautiful girl."
The merman jumped into the sea and disappeared.
A long, long time passed before Yu Ruo saw the merman again.
No! They were a group of merfolk, all strong and fierce-looking, who killed any villagers they encountered.
Blood stained the entire village.
Yu Ruo didn't get to see the wedding she had been looking forward to; instead, her family was slaughtered.
She demanded, "Why?!"
“Foolish human, merfolk are inherently ferocious and are natural enemies of humans. You have personally harmed your own family.”
Yu Ruo broke down in tears, the merman's knife held to her neck. Just as she was about to die, a seven-colored divine light descended from the sky.
She seemed to have eaten a powerful spinach, her whole body brimming with strength, and she killed ten mermaids with a single punch.
Blood flowed like rivers all around, and corpses lay scattered on the ground.
Yu Ruo knelt before her parents, coughed heavily, and kowtowed three times, "Father, Mother, your daughter is unfilial..."
To atone for her sins, she guarded the ocean day and night, fought sea monsters, and saved people. In the end, she achieved her goal and ascended to become the sea goddess.
The boss emphasized, "After the sea god Yu Ruo destroyed the last merman, the seas became calm and the fishermen no longer had to worry about being eaten by monsters."
"The city of Wuhai has been protected by Yu Ruo for generations. Anyone who dares to act recklessly here will be punished by the Sea God!"
Xiao Shui pondered seriously, "Are there really merfolk in the sea?"
The boss said firmly, "Not only are there ferocious merfolk, but also man-eating crab spirits. I saw it with my own eyes when I was a child."
When he was six years old, he went to the beach with his grandfather to catch fish, but he was accidentally swept away by a big wave.
The salty seawater filled his mouth and nose, making it increasingly difficult for him to breathe. He was going to die.
His body was suddenly lifted into the air, and strange sounds entered his ears. He turned around and was so frightened that his heart stopped.
A crab stretched out its pincers, grabbed his collar, and opened its blood-red mouth to bite down.
The boss struggled desperately, but couldn't escape.
Waaaaah, being eaten by a monster is worse than dying in the sea.
At the critical moment, a mysterious force from nowhere knocked down the crab.
The boss was gently lifted up and carried to a nearby beach.
He asked blankly, "Who are you?"
No one responded, and a multicolored light seemed to flash across the sky.
The boss opened his eyes wide and remembered that fleeting glance.
Her skin was as white as snow, and her eyebrows resembled spring mountains.
She is Yu Ruo, the Goddess of the Sea!
From that time on, the boss became the most loyal believer of the sea god, and after reading through many ancient books, he finally pieced together a legendary story.
The sea god has protected Fogsea City for thousands of years and should not be forgotten.
The restaurant owner tells stories while running the restaurant, hoping that more people will come to believe in the kind and courageous Yu Ruo.
The first enthusiastic customer objected, "I've lived in Fogsea City for fifty years and have never heard of such a story. Mermaids don't exist at all. You must be hallucinating."
The shop owner snatched his bowl, shouting, "Disrespect for the sea god! You're not welcome here!"
The helpful customer snatched the bowl back and skillfully apologized, "I'm sorry, great sea god, please forgive my unintentional mistake."
The boss huffed, "That's more like it."
Xiao Tu asked curiously, "Does a sea god really exist?"
Without hesitation, the boss replied, "Yes!!"
Another enthusiastic customer said, "Yes, there is. My mother specially erected a monument for the sea god and worships him on the first and fifteenth of each lunar month."
“My family has one too. My dad has to pray to the sea goddess Yu Ruo before he goes out to sea to fish, and pray for a safe return.”
The boss was extremely confident: "Believe in the sea god, and you'll be safe."
Xiao Mu said slowly, "There was no sea god in the world originally; it was just that many people spread rumors about him that created a god. You're so captivated by the beauty of monsters, can you even tell who's a god and who's a monster?"
"Actually, the beautiful woman you see is a crab spirit in disguise."
"Impossible!!" the boss retorted loudly. "You monsters are not allowed to slander the Sea God, or else I..."
Oh no! I accidentally blurted out my true feelings. Will he get eaten?
The boss ran away stiffly, his limbs moving in unison.
Xiao Tu looked completely bewildered. "Why is he running?"
Xiao Mu: "I guessed right, I feel guilty."
