The middle-aged mermaid said, "Some time ago, one night, Raine suddenly disappeared. The queen was very worried and searched for a long time in the palace. She went out to search for several days in a row. On the last day, after returning, she said she was tired and wanted to sleep. As a result, she never woke up again."
Lu Xingchen said solemnly: "So many things happened?"
Why didn't the little seal tell her?
She looked at the baby seal.
The little seal gestured quickly: "I thought she was tired, so I waited for several days, but she didn't wake up, so I went to find you."
That's true, how could a baby seal know so much?
Lu Xingchen thought for a moment and asked the middle-aged mermaid, "Do you mermaids have a dormant period?"
The middle-aged mermaid shook her head repeatedly: "No!"
Lu Xingchen: "Then... think carefully, has any mermaid ever fallen into a deep sleep before?"
The middle-aged mermaid smiled bitterly: "I've only lived for seventy or eighty years, and in all those years, I've never heard of a mermaid falling into a deep sleep."
That's strange.
Merfolk are different from humans after all. Perhaps they're cultivating their chain? Hibernating?
Lu Xingchen asked again: "There aren't any older mermaids. Why don't we ask them?"
The middle-aged mermaid smiled bitterly: "The mermaid race has been persecuted and slaughtered time and time again. Among the remaining mermaids, I am the oldest."
Lu Xingchen was in a dilemma. He had two questions: 1. Where did Ryan go? 2. Why was Mira sleeping? Was she in danger?
These two issues may be related.
Although he knew it was useless, Lu Xingchen still asked the middle-aged mermaid, "Do you have any way to contact or find Renn?"
The middle-aged mermaid smiled bitterly: "Even the Queen can't do anything, how can I do anything? Oh, right, there is one thing. The night the Queen came back for the last time, I seemed to see a figure at night."
Lu Xingchen perked up: "Tell me more about it."
The middle-aged mermaid said, "It was around three in the morning. The Queen had been resting for a few hours. I saw that there were still lights in the palace and wanted to go and turn them off. As soon as I entered, I saw a dark figure flash by. I quickly chased after him, but he was very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye."
This is very important information.
But who can be so fast?
Lu Xingchen pondered for a moment: "Could it be Renn?"
The middle-aged mermaid shook his head. "Impossible! That person was very fast, he wasn't a mermaid! I gathered my men and immediately sealed off the palace gates and searched, but found nothing."
All leads have gone cold.
Lu Xingchen returned to Mila's bedside and touched her forehead.
It looks normal.
If it's just sleeping like this, it's fine as long as there's no danger, but I'm afraid something might happen.
The middle-aged mermaid said, "The little seal noticed that the Queen's health hasn't been good these past two days; she seems to be gradually weakening..."
Lu Xingchen was startled and looked at the little seal: "Really?"
The little seal nodded vigorously: "Wow, really, really!"
Lu Xingchen stayed by Mira's bedside for a long time and also walked around the Mermaid Palace.
She was led by a baby seal and a middle-aged mermaid, while the other mermaids just looked at her strangely and did not stop her.
Unfortunately, there are still no clues.
Lu Xingchen became anxious.
Until evening, she suddenly received a message from her grandmother: "Xingxing, when are you coming back? Hong San, Hei San, and Hei Jiu are back. Hei San is injured. Why don't you come back for a bit?"
Is Black Three injured?
What did they go to do?
Lu Xingchen's heart jumped.
She needs to go back first, and then she can talk to Hong San about this matter and see if she understands it.
Immediately, Lu Xingchen bid farewell to the middle-aged mermaid and returned to the raft with the little seal.
We brought the baby seal with us because we could tell it the results directly.
Her going back and forth is taking up too much of her time.
Back on the raft, she saw Black Three slumped in a chair, Red Three anxiously waiting, and Black Nine like an ant on a hot pan.
Lu Xingchen asked in surprise, "What's wrong with Hei San? Is he weak again?"
Could it be that the side effects of the Immortal Jade Dew have occurred again?
