Chapter 526 The Land Where the Merfolk Live
Meng Qingyin was both amused and exasperated.
That little fish looked quite honest, but it turned out to be a cunning little creature that had tricked her.
So, her great-grandmother lied to her too?
Forget it, let's think of other ways.
She refused to believe that such a vast ocean floor could only harbor one type of small fish.
Meng Qingyin turned to leave.
"Huh? Where are you going?"
She turned around, and the little fish was looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Meng Qing was surprised, thinking the little guy had tricked her; she had been too suspicious.
"Why did you take so long?" Meng Qingyin asked.
Little Fish sighed, "Sigh, my great-grandmother doesn't want to come out. She just secretly glanced at you and thinks you're dangerous and might eat her. No matter what I say, she won't come out."
Meng Qingyin was speechless for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Then why aren't you afraid of me?"
She wouldn't have chosen it if this little guy hadn't been peeking at her the whole time.
The little fish's eyes widened. "I don't think you look scary at all."
On the contrary, it likes her very much.
Meng Qingyin chuckled and changed the subject: "Your great-grandmother doesn't want to come out, what should we do now?"
The little fish wagged its tail. "Let me think... or should I just go and ask her about that merfolk?"
Meng Qingyin: "That's all we can do."
"Then wait for me here," Little Fish reminded her worriedly, "Don't sneak away again."
Meng Qingyin: "...I won't run away."
The little fish felt relieved and swam back to the water plants.
Perhaps worried that Meng Qingyin would sneak away while it was away, it came out very quickly this time.
"My great-grandmother said she had seen the mermaids before!" The little fish said with pride, as if it had seen the mermaids with its own eyes.
Meng Qingyin was overjoyed, "Really? Where have I seen her before?"
The little fish wagged its tail again. "She said it had been too long, and she couldn't remember anymore."
Meng Qingyin's smile faded.
Little Fish quickly said, "But don't worry, my great-grandmother is thinking about it, maybe she'll remember soon!"
As time ticked away, Meng Qingyin couldn't just sit there waiting.
Who knows if Little Fish's great-grandmother can remember?
“Go ask your great-grandmother again, roughly where she saw the merfolk,” Meng Qingyin said. Then another question occurred to her, “And how was she sure it was merfolk she saw?”
The mermaids are very mysterious. How could Little Fish's great-grandmother be sure that she saw a mermaid?
If it's a misunderstanding, then blindly searching for her would only be a waste of time.
If you're going in the wrong direction, all your efforts will be in vain.
The little fish swam back to the water plants.
This time it came out quickly, and it even brought its great-grandmother with it.
The great-grandmother fish's body was half-hidden among the aquatic plants, as if this would protect it from their growth.
“I’m so sure that what I saw back then were sharks!” Grandma Fish reminisced. “Because they were so beautiful. I’ve never seen a more beautiful fish than sharks.”
"Those two mermaids seemed to be a couple... I even heard them mention some kind of pearl, which was their token of love. They were such a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, that's why I've remembered them for so many years."
Upon hearing this, Meng Qingyin's mind raced. "Is it a mermaid pearl?"
She shouldn't be considered to have revealed the mission details, right?
Great-Grandma Yu nodded vigorously: "That's right, that's right, it's a mermaid pearl! That pearl is so beautiful, I've never seen such a beautiful blue pearl before."
Meng Qingyin pondered to herself, it seemed that her guess was correct, the mermaid pearl was indeed a precious item of the mermaid race.
However, how many mermaid pearls does the mermaid race have?
Could the peacock blue shark pearl she's looking for be the same shark pearl that her great-grandmother fish mentioned?
"Do you remember the general location where you saw them?" Meng Qingyin asked.
The great-grandmother fish was clearly still wary of her; it remained hidden among the water plants and pointed in a direction with its tail. "I only remember it was over there, but I can't recall the exact location."
"Okay, I understand." Meng Qingyin nodded.
Grandma Fish suddenly said, "Oh right, I remember I also passed through a very wide trench! After crossing that trench, I met those two mermaids."
Meng Qingyin said goodbye to the little fish and swam in the direction her great-grandmother had pointed.
I don't know how long I swam, but the glowing water plants became fewer and fewer, and my vision became darker and darker.
Meng Qingyin took out the Water Light Pearl and continued forward, relying on the light it emitted.
After swimming for more than an hour, just as Meng Qingyin was wondering if her great-grandmother fish had misremembered the location, the scene at the end of her vision changed.
The once flat seabed plain seemed to have been cut in half, with a trench lying across it.
Meng Qingyin swam forward quickly.
The trench is not as wide as Grandma Fish described. The cliffs on both sides of the trench are only one meter wide and the bottom is not visible.
Meng Qingyin hesitated for a moment. Could the merfolk be below this trench?
She gritted her teeth and swam down into the trench.
Regardless, let's go down and take a look first.
After swimming down the cliff for more than an hour, she vaguely noticed a glimmer of light coming from below.
How can there be light on the seabed?
Could it be some kind of luminous aquatic plant?
still……
Meng Qingyin suppressed her excitement and continued swimming downstream.
As they descended deeper, the light grew brighter.
After passing through an extremely narrow passage, the view suddenly opened up, and Meng Qingyin found herself in an extremely spacious place, as if she had entered another dimension.
The place is brightly lit, and aquatic plants and corals can be seen everywhere.
What surprised Meng Qingyin even more was that there were actually many beautiful courtyard buildings here.
Meng Qingyin was filled with excitement; it seemed this must be the place where the Merfolk lived.
Just then, a...mermaid swam around the corner of the building ahead.
Meng Qingyin was able to tell at a glance that it was a mermaid because its lower body was a fish tail, and its face was too beautiful.
Her thick, silver hair, as thick as seaweed, reached her waist and swayed gently with the seawater. Her eyes were large and bright, with long eyelashes, and her face was sickly pale.
Even though Meng Qingyin couldn't tell the gender of the merfolk, the only word that flashed through her mind the moment she saw it was "beautiful," as if the world itself paled in comparison.
The merman also saw her, but after meeting her gaze, it seemed somewhat panicked, immediately lowered its head, turned and left, its frail figure quickly disappearing from Meng Qingyin's sight.
Meng Qingyin was a little confused. Shouldn't she be the one who left?
She was the intruder.
However, now that she is a merman, if other mermen see her, will they treat her as one of their own kind or as a different race?
After all, her appearance was still her original one, which was completely different from the appearance of the merfolk.
Her question was quickly answered.
