As they got closer to the mermaids, the sounds became clearer and clearer. They were hiding under the sea not far away, looking at the joyful mermaids. There were not many mermaids tonight, only about a dozen, both males and females. The splashing water drops slid down their skin, making it more beautiful. Their hair, like seaweed, was black and translucent, making them even more stunning and beautiful.
Jiuxi's eyes were solemn as he asked, "Can the Corpse King sing?"
Mingye shook his head, "No."
Jiuxi's brows darkened slightly, "Just pretend to be mute."
Mingye looked at Jiuxi, with a hint of warmth in his eyes, and replied softly, "Okay."
The two of them slowly approached the group of mermaids. Jiuxi's palms were covered with sweat because she was afraid of being noticed, but her face remained calm. The mermaids who were singing happily obviously did not notice their approach and were still talking and laughing happily.
By the time they discovered the two, Jiuxi and Mingye had already appeared in the reefs. When the mermaids saw the two suddenly appearing, they were frightened and looked at Jiuxi and Mingye with a little panic.
This magic makes them look exactly like mermaids, but mermaids are very cautious. If they reveal even the slightest clue, I'm afraid the mermaids will not be pushovers.
In the moment of silence, some mermaids moved and wanted to dive back to the bottom of the sea, but Jiuxi was the first to lean against the reef, with her aqua-blue tail fin hidden in the water, stirring up a splash from time to time, in order to prove that she and the mermaids were of the same species.
A graceful female mermaid walked out from the crowd of mermaids. She looked down at Jiuxi with her gaze, and her voice was as clear as jade beads rolling down a jade plate, as if it came from outer space. She said, "You two are so unfamiliar..."
As soon as she finished speaking, two majestic men appeared from behind the girl, holding bright balls of light in their hands and aiming them at Jiuxi and Mingye.
Tears suddenly welled up in Jiuxi's lifeless eyes. She was pathetic and complained, "My brother and I were originally mermaids from the North Sea. We used to live and work in peace and contentment, but those vicious humans... somehow got the news that mermaid pearls can prolong life and grant immortality... Our elders were all... murdered by those humans..."
As she spoke, she frequently wiped away tears, which made her look even more pitiful in the moonlight, drawing a look of sadness into the eyes of the mermaids. The leading girl said, "The human race is indeed despicable."
The girl turned and looked at Mingye with an extremely unfriendly tone. She pointed at Mingye and said, "Then who is he?"
Mingye opened his mouth, desperately trying to make a sound, even the veins on his face popping out, but he couldn't utter a single word. Jiuxi tried hard to suppress a smile, his face full of desolation. He swam quickly to Mingye's side, took Mingye's arm, his eyes tinged with pity, and said, "My brother was captured by the human race because he refused to sing for them. Those beasts... actually poisoned my brother's throat and made him mute..."
Ming Ye's deep eyes were filled with coldness, and his long eyelashes cast a small shadow under his eyes, making him look even more miserable.
Originally, it was a story made up by Jiuxi casually, but there was a faint sound of crying among the mermaids. It must be said that God was really kind to the mermaids. Not only did he give them beautiful looks and melodious singing voices, but their crying was also like a melody, which made people feel a little confused.
The leading girl wiped the tears from her face with her radiant fingers and sobbed, "You two siblings are so... pitiful.
