In a city thousands of miles away.
A stunningly beautiful woman suddenly clutched her chest, her face filled with disbelief.
She is Luo Xi, the only mermaid princess with royal blood.
She could sense that the Eye of the Sea God, with which she had some mysterious connection, had betrayed her and chosen another master.
impossible!
The Eye of Poseidon has always been something that only members of the royal family can wield and control.
Even she couldn't fully activate her bloodline power and make it recognize her as its master.
How did others manage to do it?!
Has something changed for the mermaid race?
"Luo Xi, why are you up? You were so badly injured saving Yun Chao, you should lie down and rest."
A woman with a cool and aloof demeanor walked in carrying a bowl of herbal medicine.
Upon seeing the woman, Luo Xi felt a lump in her throat, her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face like pearls, making her all the more pitiful.
"Sister Hua..."
She couldn't help but express her worries.
The woman gently comforted her, saying that once this matter was settled, everyone could accompany her back to her home.
Luo Xi nodded, moved.
She made many friends after she went ashore.
She never regretted using her mermaid pearl, her blood, and her fish tail to help her loved ones and friends.
She treated everyone with sincerity, and her friends treated her with the same sincerity.
...
In the days that followed, the lives of the merfolk underwent a slight change.
Inside the main hall of the Mermaid Palace, a statue of the sea god was erected.
Grandma would take Xiao Mo to hold large meetings every few days, and they would always worship the sea god first.
Almost everyone worshipped the sea god statue with a devout heart of atonement.
It is a sin to think that they have overlooked a thousand years.
No wonder I've never received a blessing from the sea god.
If it were them, they wouldn't be willing to bless a bunch of ungrateful wretches who only know how to take and not how to give.
Over time, almost everyone came to regard holding large-scale worship ceremonies to worship the sea god as a custom and tradition.
The little mermaid king gradually adapted to his new position and was cultivated into a kingly figure by his grandmother, winning the hearts of the people.
Secondly, the group of people who were blessed by the sea god some time ago have been diligently cultivating in order not to let down the sea god's grace, and their strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
The entire merfolk seemed to have been completely transformed.
Not only did some clansmen personally set up protective arrays for their own territory, but others also crafted magical artifacts for the weaker members of the clan.
Both its combat power and defensive capabilities have been greatly improved.
This is far beyond what the mermaid race, which relied solely on the advantages of the deep sea and their mermaid-like characteristics, could ever achieve.
...
On this day, a mermaid who had gone out on patrol suddenly returned to report.
They heard Princess Luoxi's summons.
Normally, he would have gone to bring the princess back to the Mermaid Palace immediately.
But things are different now. They have a new mermaid king, and the former royal family is a thing of the past.
Every decision had to be made in consultation with their king.
Xiao Moli looked at her grandmother.
He actually missed Sister Luoxi very much, but Sister Luoxi chose to voluntarily sever her tail, which he considered a betrayal of the sea and an abandonment of her people.
He now represents not just himself, but the entire mermaid race.
In any case, the return of a traitor is unacceptable.
No matter how good your relationship is with him, you can't cross your bottom line.
Grandma has always doted on Luo Xi the most. If Grandma wants to see Luo Xi even once…
However, Grandma did not react at all; she remained dozing off to the side, looking old and frail.
Clearly, they don't care much about this.
Lately, Grandma has become less and less interested in managing important matters, and she delegates most things to him.
They often sit in one place for most of the day without moving.
He even felt a pang of sadness, thinking that perhaps his grandmother was too old to take care of him anymore.
Are they about to lose their grandmother soon...?
He couldn't imagine how much he would cry then.
He cleared his throat, putting aside his distracting thoughts.
“Luo Xi has already betrayed her people and has no further connection with my mermaid clan. We need not heed her summons.”
The patrolling mermaids accepted their orders and left.
Xiao Moli glanced at her motionless grandmother again, and her eyes reddened slightly as if she had thought of something.
Grandma…
Not wanting to disturb them, I quietly went to read and study on the side...
Meanwhile, Yu Shuang was silently deciphering the wishes that flew towards her from the sea god statue.
She initially just wanted to stir things up to increase team cohesion and, incidentally, enhance the prestige of the young Mo Li.
After all, she couldn't detect any powerful being even when she scanned the entire sea with her divine sense.
One fact has been established: there is no sea god in this sea area whatsoever.
Who knew that the wishes of those people to the sea god had all flown to her?
I'm bored anyway, so I occasionally try to catch some merfolk and see what they're thinking.
Some prayed to the sea god for the happiness and well-being of the mermaid clan.
Some people made wishes and were blessed by the sea god.
Some want power, some want a partner…
They even used the sea god statue as a confessional, telling everyone everything...
Of course, Yu Shuang would also help solve the problems of those she found agreeable.
The people of the tribe became increasingly fervent in their worship of the sea god statue.
...
On a large ship.
Luo Xi's beautiful face showed a hint of sadness.
She knew perfectly well that her people could hear her call.
But why has no one come out to see her for so long?
She carries the most noble royal bloodline of the mermaid race.
Even if it loses its tail and cannot return to the sea, it is still the only royal family of the mermaid race.
The elders loved her so much, and her peers and younger generations all liked her so much.
How could we possibly abandon her?
Something must have happened!
A man patted her on the shoulder reassuringly.
"Luo Xi, don't rush. We have mermaid pearls, so we can breathe underwater for now. Take us to the Mermaid Palace first and see if we need any help."
Luo Xi nodded and directed the large ship forward.
With her leading the way, they quickly found the territory of the mermaid tribe.
It was a strange coincidence.
The fifth artifact they were looking for turned out to be the mermaid race's most precious treasure—the Eye of the Sea God.
She had been worried that something had happened in her clan and wanted to come back to check on it.
Now I'm going the same way as my friends.
For the sake of all living beings, she will definitely help her friends obtain the Eye of Poseidon.
Luo Xi looked ahead with unwavering determination in her eyes.
Suddenly her face turned pale, and small beads of sweat began to droop from the corners of her eyes again.
Someone asked nervously:
"What's wrong?"
Luo Xi's voice was filled with sorrow:
"We...we were driven away by the merfolk..."
Some people looked surprised:
"How could that be? Aren't you the mermaid princess? The only one of royal blood?"
Luo Xi shook her head with tears in her eyes, and mustered her courage to shout towards the sea:
"I am Luo Xi—the princess of the mermaid clan! ...Why are you driving us away?! Just because I lost my tail? I can explain, I didn't do it on purpose, I was trying to save people—! Kind people, are you going to abandon your only princess—?"
