Ah Li almost laughed at what this person said. She was wondering what he would do when he was able to get out.
Pei Jingcang put down his hand and found that Ah Li was weaving silk again, so he closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.
In the deep sea, the passage of time is imperceptible.
When Ahri is tired, she lies down on the big seashell to sleep. When she's hungry, she goes to find food or weaves silk.
When Pei Jingcang was bored and making a fuss, she would lie on the big seashell to keep him company.
Pei Jingcang initially wanted to come out, but he gradually got used to looking at Ah Li through the giant seashell every day.
The demonic seal on his body has been completely lifted, and he can now control the demonic power within him much better than he did in the previous five hundred years.
During the previous five hundred years, Pei Jingcang absorbed all the evil in the world because the seal of the demon god was suddenly broken. His mortal body simply could not withstand that power.
Therefore, on the fifteenth of each month when the moon is full, they must endure the agony of being sliced to pieces, and a mortal body will be reduced to a skeleton in an instant.
That was also the time when he was at his weakest and in the most pain, and only pain accompanied him.
Pei Jingcang raised his hand and looked at his hands. His hands, which used to be covered in countless scars and frostbite, were now completely healed.
Just then, a bubble appeared with a conch shell attached, and floated towards Ahri.
Pei Jingcang looked over, and Ah Li reached out and caught the conch shell.
Ah Li held the conch shell to her ear and heard chanting coming from inside. She cried and said, "Sister, I know I was wrong. Please open the clan's great formation. I want to go home."
Nianyin originally wanted to travel around the human world for a while longer and meet more people. Sometimes she would even do good deeds, crying out pearls to help others.
Many ancient books record that the tears of mermaids are like treasures from the depths of the South China Sea, each drop shimmering with a mysterious luster.
When they weep in sorrow, their glistening tears transform into dazzling pearls, each one embodying the deepest grief in their hearts.
Ali put down the conch shell and then slowly swam towards the large seashell.
"My sister is back. I should take you away now."
Ahri placed her hand on the spot where the demon-suppressing talismans were pasted, and quietly took back the two talismans.
Pei Jingcang didn't know how he felt at that moment. He found himself reluctant to leave, but he still had to go out.
At the same time, Ah Li placed all the silk she had woven over this period of time on the large seashell, blocking Pei Jingcang's view.
Pei Jingcang could feel the large seashell moving, but all he could see was a misty white gauze.
After Ahri brought the giant seashell up from the depths of the sea, the merfolk gathered around. They were all extremely excited as they looked at the silk gauze that Ahri had brought up.
"As expected, the clan leader is the most capable. So many beautiful things like this can be exchanged for a lot of silver."
Ah Li's expression didn't change, but Pei Jingcang muttered inside the giant seashell, "How could it not look good? She's always so serious about it."
"By the way, clan leader, can the outer protective array be activated now?"
A mermaid asked tentatively.
After all, the merfolk also need to go out to sell their silk.
Ahri then raised her hands and formed a hand seal, pointing both fingers towards the sky. A beam of light, light blue, shot from Ahri's fingertips into the sky.
The sea fog in this area slowly dissipated, and the reefs gradually sank.
Nianyin was the first to sense it; she swam back from outside.
The mermaids also brought out the silk and pearls they had woven, so that other mermaids could take them outside to sell.
When Nianyin returned, she rushed to Ah Li, hugged Ah Li, and said, "Sister, why did you open the protective array? You have no idea how lonely and helpless I was outside, unable to go home."
Ah Li stood quietly and said, "You're used to being wild outside."
The other merfolk pretended not to see it; they were used to chanting and would occasionally pull such a stunt.
"Then, sister, what happened to the big seashell I brought back back then?"
As soon as Nianyin finished speaking, Ahri pointed to a pile of gauze and said, "There."
"Huh? You didn't let the person out of there? Won't he suffocate in there?"
Nianyin panicked; she hadn't expected that Ah Li hadn't even opened it.
Ahri said slowly from the side, "I will take the big seashell to my residence. There is a spirit pool there that can nourish the big seashell. If there is a living creature inside, it will also be nourished."
The merfolk's gazes all turned to Ahri; the clan leader was indeed truly good to her sister.
That spiritual pool, like the life source of the merfolk, is the location of the spring, and its importance is self-evident.
However, the chieftain put the large seashell inside.
Nianyin hugged Ah Li tighter and said, "Sister, you are definitely the best to me."
"Alright, hurry up and open it so we can see what you've hidden inside the giant seashell?"
Ah Li patted Nian Yin on the shoulder, urging her on.
The other merfolk quickly gathered around, and some even removed the silk gauze that Ahri had placed on top.
Pei Jingcang also discovered that even after the gauze was removed, he still couldn't see outside like before.
Without hesitation, Nianyin quickly opened the large seashell.
Pei Jingcang lay inside, his eyes tightly closed.
Nianyin exclaimed in surprise, "Lingchi is indeed very powerful. This person is much more handsome than before."
Previously, the Pei Jingcang that Nianyin had seen was a weak, pitiful, and very thin boy.
