When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1145 Xuanyu 1
"You're nothing but a lowly Xuanwei merman. My queen has taken a liking to your Starfall Grass, which is your good fortune. Yet you are so ungrateful. Since that's the case, I can no longer let you live!"

This was the last sound Tan You heard before she lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Tan You finally woke up. The beauty system flew in front of her: "Host, are you alright? You've been unconscious for a long time! Almost twenty days."

"Twenty days?" Tan You curled her lips into a smile: "No wonder this is the world of cultivation. They can survive for twenty days without eating or drinking."

Seeing that Tan You could still smile, the beauty system was somewhat relieved: "Host, are you alright?"

"Not good," Tan You said, still smiling, "but I won't die."

With one hand bracing against a large rock beside her, she flicked her battle-damaged black fishtail, suppressing the piercing pain in her heart, and Tan You disappeared into the depths of the reef.

“A magical underwater world,” Tan You said with a slight smile as she looked at the magnificent scenery on both sides. “The seabeds in the East and West are pretty much the same. I suddenly thought of the sea monsters in Western fantasy worlds.”

“It’s a very distant memory.” Tan You’s eyes were distant. She looked down at the pitted black fishtail and then looked away to avoid seeing it.

After unlocking the species of the Golden Ringed Serpent, she has been racing down the path of non-human species. This time it's a mermaid, what will be next? Speaking of which, are all the clients in intermediate or advanced worlds this kind of thing?
Couldn't they have given her a dragon or phoenix or something? Instead, they turned her into a fish? And a saltwater fish at that.

Fine, mermaid it is then.

Tan You's memories end at this point, after all, the timing of her arrival was not convenient, it was a disastrous start, she arrived just as the original owner was on the verge of death.

Just as she was about to swim out of the trench, Tan You suddenly stopped. Someone who has been through a lot of danger can easily sense danger. So Tan You stopped and hid behind the coral reef.

To prevent the beauty system from being instantly destroyed, Tan You didn't let the little thing go out to gather information. Instead, she quietly observed and waited for the moment when the crisis would arrive.

Although she was forced to wait, Tan You knew that with the original owner's dilapidated body, even a low-level merman could kill her in one move. Therefore, she returned to her old profession: array formations.

Using up the last bit of magic power in her body, Tan You set up a concealment array for herself, and then slumped down in the array, panting heavily.

"Host, you're vomiting blood!" the beauty system shrieked. "Host, are you alright?"

“It’s nothing serious,” Tan You said, wiping the corner of her lips, her eyes filled with murderous intent. “Once we get through this, we’ll make up for all of this sooner or later.”

Just as Tan You and the beauty system were waiting, a silver fishtail swept past their eyes. A silver tail? Tan You slowly narrowed her eyes. Silver tails belonged to a high-ranking race of the merfolk. How did she get here?

"Strange, why isn't she here?" Yin Yue swam around the entrance of the trench, passing by Tan You's formation three times, but still couldn't find Tan You lying inside the formation.

"This road is the only way for Xuan Yu to return to her cave. Why hasn't she come back yet?" Yin Yue was anxious, but she didn't dare to make too much noise on the seabed, so she could only helplessly spin around in place.

Tan You watched as Yin Yue became furious and then left. She wasn't in a hurry to return to the original owner's cave anymore. Unexpectedly, after leaving the place where the original owner had fallen, she encountered an ambush on her way back to the original owner's cave.

What kind of mess is this? Are there so many people who want the original owner dead? Even if the original owner was disliked by the merfolk, why would she attract the pursuit of two superior races? Tan You had already given up on the idea of ​​returning to the merfolk; that would be nothing short of suicide. Since that's the case, she needed to find a new cave dwelling.

Considering all this, Tan You didn't rush to leave. Instead, she lay down in the formation to meditate. To travel alone while injured and weak was like an old man hanging himself; who knew if Yin Yue, the silver-tailed one, had actually left?
Tan You's guess was correct. Yin Yue appeared to have left the trench, but in reality, she had been keeping watch outside it. At first, she would come to explore the trench every day, but later she changed it to once every two or three days.

Gradually, she only came once every two weeks or once a month.

Every time she came over, Tan You would quietly watch her. She was now particularly curious about Yin Yue; how did Yin Yue know that the original owner had been severely injured by Sang Lin?

Could this Yin Yue be another reincarnated person? But judging from her soul, it doesn't seem like it.

Keeping this doubt to herself, Tan You closed her eyes and continued her cultivation.

Time has passed, and the trench remains the same, only now the seaweed and shrubs within it have grown even more luxuriantly. Tan You sits upright inside the giant clam, her dark fishtail covered in mottled scars.

After nearly three years of recuperation, she finally healed her injuries and stabilized her strength at the third tier. Returning to her former late-stage fifth tier would require even longer.

"It's time to leave. Judging by the time, Yin Yue hasn't come for a year. I guess she won't come again." With her last breath, Tan You hugged the fish tail to her chest. The dark fish tail actually looked quite beautiful after a while.

Strong and powerful, yet not as conspicuous as gold or silver. In the pitch-black sea, this black fish tail is clearly the best camouflage.

After carefully storing the giant clam and collecting various unique items from the trench, Tan You dispelled the formation and swung her fish tail back the way she came.

Shortly after Tan You left, Yin Yue, who hadn't been there for a long time, suddenly appeared. However, after looking around, she couldn't find anything unusual in the trench and had to leave disappointed.

In the past three years, besides repairing her injuries and stabilizing her cultivation, Tan You has spent most of her time reviewing the original owner's memories.

The merfolk are oviparous, and the eggs are incubated by the clan after leaving the mother's body. However, the original owner's parents were unaware of this and even left the eggs in the incubation chamber for nearly a hundred years.

The clan had high hopes for it, believing that the longer the incubation period, the greater its potential. However, after its original owner hatched, the clan was greatly disappointed.

The merfolk revered those with golden tails, followed by those with silver tails, but the original owner of this body was a black-tailed merfolk. This made her an absolute anomaly in the clan, and since she had no parents or relatives, she was naturally someone everyone in the merfolk could bully.

The original owner couldn't afford to offend them, but she could avoid them. She lived on the very edge of the merfolk tribe and rarely appeared in public.

The reason for the injury was that the original owner was about to break through to the sixth rank but needed to use the Starfall Grass to achieve this breakthrough. Therefore, the original owner risked going deep into the sea to pick Starfall Grass, but unexpectedly, the original owner survived by the skin of his teeth and managed to pick the Starfall Grass.

However, Jin Jiao and Sang Lin bumped into them. Jin Jiao was originally at the eighth level of cultivation, so she shouldn't need the Starfall Grass. But Jin Jiao's maid, Jin Yan, wanted the Starfall Grass to prepare for her future breakthrough.
