Di Xiu spotted Le Fu and Lan Miao guarding outside the Crystal Palace from afar.
Their tails, one a deep blue and the other emerald green, didn't seem strange at all. Reflecting the shimmering light, they complemented their exquisite features, making them look like meticulously crafted works of art.
They weren't looking for "Tides." The Dragon King hadn't told any creatures about "Tides" and resurrection. Lan Miao assumed her son was still in seclusion. Although Le Fu was eager to see his son, he held back.
They came to ask about the resurrection, but the Dragon King was too busy to see them and had not prepared any explanation.
Di Xiu went to see the tortoise that had been brought back along with him.
It was a sea turtle with a very obvious scar on its neck and two forelimbs, slightly sunken, as if something had once squeezed into its flesh.
In just one month, she had successfully transformed into a baby, with marks on her neck and two arms, and was being cared for by a turtle spirit.
When the sea turtle doll saw Di Xiu, a look of confusion flashed in its eyes. It swam over to him, paddling with its arms and legs, and circled him twice before softly calling out, "Tide, is that you?"
Perhaps because she spent a lot of time in the lab, she learned to speak human language quite well.
"Yes, it's me. I'll take you home."
"Yay!" the little sea turtle cheered, then looked around curiously and asked, "Tide, is this your home? You've found your home?"
She didn't notice anything wrong with the mermaid in front of her. After all, nearly ten years had passed, and when Di Xiu deliberately lowered his voice, he could imitate her five or six parts well.
"Found it."
The little sea turtle chuckled, "That's great!"
Even if Chao Xi is socially awkward, she still got to know some marine creatures on her way home, including the little sea turtle. However, she didn't know how it was captured by Haotian Creatures, but Di Xiu recognized it and took it over.
At that time, Chao Xi almost swam to the Pacific Ocean. She encountered a baby sea turtle entangled in a garbage bag and rescued her. After that, her father asked other fish and gave her a general direction based on some fish and coral species that Chao Xi remembered, so that she didn't actually cross the Pacific Ocean.
How did you get caught?
The little sea turtle was extremely aggrieved: "After you left, I went ashore with my dad. One day, I was sunbathing on the balcony when a snake ran in and snatched me away."
Di Xiu had originally planned to take her back to the place where she and her father met in the tide, but upon hearing this, he was taken aback: "Where is your father now?"
"On land."
"..."
Great, this is comparable to what the tide said about "being in the sea".
"What's your father's name?"
"Just call Dad Dad."
"..."
001 said with a sigh, "If I had known it would be like this, I would have been better off leaving her with Haotian Biotechnology."
The Fairy Association needs to assign identities to fairies, which inevitably involves going online. However, information such as their specific backgrounds is not available online; it's all documented on paper. 001 couldn't do anything about it, so Emperor Xiu could only send the little sea turtle to the Fairy Association, which was convenient, I suppose.
We still went ashore from Haishi Village, mainly because that area is remote.
Di Xiu entered the village and took a look. Four years had passed, two old people had passed away, and two others had been taken away by their children. The village was becoming increasingly deserted.
They were all very happy to see Di Xiu return. Seeing that his hair had turned black, they assumed that his albinism had been cured.
Di Xiu stayed for two days. After leaving, he went to a supermarket in the county, paid the full amount, and placed a long-term order for various daily necessities and food, asking the supermarket to deliver some to the village every week.
Reporting the baby turtle missing to the Fairy Association quickly yielded clues.
Di Xiu didn't wait with him; he was preoccupied with the matter of the demonic seed, which would remain a hidden danger if left unresolved.
Both the Dragon King and special departments have investigated this matter, but so far there have been no results.
Wuji exhaled a bit of the demonic energy he had stored, and Di Xiu guided it into the tracking talisman, but the talisman did not react for a long time.
"That's strange, is it dead?"
Looking at the result, Di Xiu's expression turned solemn. After a long while, he asked, "Does Sheng Zhuoyu have a complete list of demons?"
"Um."
"Let's go take a trip."
"In what capacity?"
"Victim status."
...
The headquarters of the special department was not located in the city center, but in a villa in a residential area, which served as both an office and a residence.
Sheng Zhuoyu sized up the white-haired, blue-eyed young man in front of her, turning the string of relics in her hand, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
After Di Xiu arrived, he no longer tried to hide himself. Sheng Zhuoyu naturally saw through his background and could guess his purpose, but she couldn't help but wonder why the merfolk sent a little merfolk.
After a moment's thought, he sent a young man to fetch a bag of sea salt, dissolved it in cold water, and then pushed it over.
"What is your surname?" His attitude was much kinder than when he was facing the Cat Demon King, and his tone was even gentle, but 001 felt that he had ill intentions.
The last person to receive this attitude from him was Wen Shi.
Emperor Xiu introduced himself: "Tide."
"You're here to ask about the demon seed, right?"
"Hmm, has Minister Sheng found out the results?"
"All eligible locations in Shanghai have been checked. If there are no matching cases, we are continuing to expand the search scope."
Di Xiu paused for a moment, then asked, "Have you checked the dead demons?"
Sheng Zhuoyu smiled quickly, her expression seemingly helpless: "Little friend, you've put us in a difficult position."
Monsters are all very smelly. Powerful monsters can easily conceal their demonic energy, but they still smell bad after they die. They usually choose to be burned on the spot.
"I want to see the list."
"That won't do."
"I only look at the death list."
