When Xiang Wan led the Sirens to the depths of a huge cave, the sight before them left them speechless for a moment.
On one side were piles of round, spherical objects that smelled strange. On the other side were various bone-like things, such as huge, wavy seashells, fish skulls, fish bones bitten into pieces, pieced-together crab legs, rotten wood, and even human skulls.
No matter how you look at it, this is a huge garbage dump and manure dump. Where is the treasure that Ugly Eight mentioned?
"Siren, did we come here to dig up crab droppings?"
In the past, when I saw small crabs, there were always little clumps of mud at the entrance of their burrows, and I always thought they were the crabs' burrowing tools. Now it seems they are clearly crab droppings!
If the siren dared to ask her to help move the excrement, Xiang Wan would definitely turn around and leave.
The siren swam around these things and rummaged through the bones, but found nothing.
"So, what was the point of us swimming all this way?"
Xiang Wan still doesn't understand what the Sirens are looking for, but it doesn't matter whether she looks for it or not.
The siren's gaze gradually fell on the pile of dung balls. Xiang Wan blinked twice and immediately hid to the side.
"Don't worry, I won't let you do those things."
After the siren finished speaking, she puffed out her cheeks and began to sing the Mermaid Song.
The male voice singing "The Mermaid's Song" was melodious and magnetic, quite captivating. Xiang Wan was mesmerized without even realizing it.
A furious roar came from outside, "Siren, don't even think about touching my treasure!"
Then, a dense crawling sound grew closer and closer. Countless long-legged crabs crawled in and plunged headfirst into the pile of dung and the nearby garbage.
To Xiang Wan's astonishment, the long-legged crabs not only emptied the garbage but also took the pile of excrement.
After the last long-legged crab left, a dilapidated, ship-shaped object appeared in front of them.
Its only impression of Xiangwan is that it is from a very old time.
This was a large wooden ship used for navigation. The masts and other components had been crushed and broken, and the deck was in a terrible state. The hull was riddled with holes, and you could see the stern at a glance, so there was really nothing to hide inside.
As dusk approached, he watched the siren tapping along the hull of the ship, one tap at a time.
Judging from the appearance, the object should be hidden inside the wood of the boat. Xiang Wan imitated him and began to knock as well.
As she typed, Xiang Wan asked the system if there was some hidden story she didn't know about, and why things that didn't happen in the original owner's life were happening to her.
The system yawned and said lazily, "The original owner was too disobedient, entering the Water Tiger's sight ahead of time and treating him as family. How could the Sirens feel at ease bringing her here? Different people, different fates, that probably describes you and the original owner."
That made some sense, so Xiang Wan didn't press the matter further.
Sometimes, even a small decision can change a person's destiny. How could a soul so different from the original owner possibly repeat the same trajectory?
As they knocked, a hollow sound rang out, and the siren immediately swam over, pulled Xiang Wan aside, and reached out to paddle against the side of the boat.
In a few quick movements, they made a hole in the side of the boat, and inside was a grayish bead that looked like a dusty, expired pill.
The bead, about two fingers wide, lay steadily in the Siren's palm. The Siren gazed at it, her large, deep blue eyes never leaving it for a moment.
"Oshina, will you leave the ocean and live on land?"
Siren didn't look up, asking such a strange question that made Xiang Wan unsure if he was talking to her.
“Oshina, that’s the name I gave you, from the moment you fell into my arms.”
The siren's eyes seemed to be looking through Xiang Wan, and the expression in them was too complex for Xiang Wan to understand. But she knew that the original owner of this body had a name.
"Oxina? That sounds beautiful."
Xiang Wan smiled, a sense of relief washing over her, a lingering emotion from the original owner of the body.
Perhaps in the original owner's heart, never having a name of one's own was also a kind of legacy.
"Do you know why I call you Oshina? From the moment humans abandoned you, you belonged to the ocean, to us aquatic people. Oshina is our goddess, representing protection and hope."
"Then, what about Ji Yuan?"
Now that her name has an origin, what does the original owner's mother's name represent? No one in the Tianhu clan has a name like Ji Yuan, so it must be the name of the Shui tribe.
The siren snapped back to her senses, her eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief, before slowly coming to her senses and smiling gently, which made Xiang Wan feel a long-lost warmth from the bottom of her heart.
"A new goddess is born, and Ji Yuan is her destiny."
Fate? What fate? Does it mean that, like Nuwa, one must die after giving birth to a daughter?
Does it mean "death"?
Xiang Wan was determined to get to the bottom of things. She was extremely curious about the original owner's mother's identity and what kind of person she was.
"If you can face everything that has happened and is about to happen without resentment or hatred, then I will tell you."
The siren spoke so solemnly that Xiang Wan immediately lost interest in investigating.
In this life, all she cares about is ensuring the safety of the aquatic tribe. Everything else, whether she knows it or not, is of no use except to satisfy her own curiosity.
She understood the adage that curiosity killed the cat, so she didn't want to ask anymore.
