Chapter 524: Glazed Palace Lantern
What on earth made the mermaid so scared?
Can my marriage succeed?

Wu Feng was unsure and he didn't want to force the mermaid to leave.

There is always a trace of unremovable sadness in the mermaid's eyes, which makes people feel distressed.

Wu Feng sat down dejectedly on a rock nearby. The mermaid approached him and waved her hand in front of him, as if showing concern.

"It's okay, I just want to persuade you to leave." Wu Feng lowered his head, his face tangled: "You are afraid of something here, why don't you leave?"

The mermaid tilted her head, but unfortunately she couldn't understand what Wu Feng was saying.

Liu Xun saw this scene and he seemed to be thinking about something, thinking of the legend of the Mermaid Kingdom.

Mermaids live like fish in water and rarely come ashore. The most famous one was about a son of a Holy Emperor marrying a mermaid princess, which was recorded in some of the Holy Emperor's chronicles.

Male mermaids are vicious, while female mermaids are very gentle. Most royal families are mermaids.

However, the mermaids have a bad habit, which is that every royal family member must undergo the tail-cutting ceremony.

Cutting the fish tail and turning it into human legs is just the beginning.

Later on, it was necessary to cut off a scale from the legs every year to prevent the human legs from turning into fish tails again.

According to legend, the mermaid has a sweet singing voice when she is happy, and her tears turn into pearls when she cries.

Logically speaking, the tail-cutting ceremony is just a little painful and shouldn't be so frightening. Why does this mermaid have such obvious fear?

What is she afraid of?
After Wu Feng finished talking with the mermaid, he left sadly.

The mermaid looked at Wu Feng's back, turned over in the waves, and dived into the sea.

In the illusion of the mirror flower, the mermaid has been swimming secretly.

Liu Xun looked around her and found more reef buildings.

Those were all built by the mermaids.

Mermaids are not barbaric. They once had a heritage, and most of their buildings are neat and tidy, not much different from those of humans, with some mermaid characteristics at most.

The mermaid swam to the palace, and a strong male mermaid with an angry look on his face seemed to be questioning her.
The mermaid knelt down hurriedly, not daring to look up.

After a long time, the male mermaid waved his hand, and some mermaids took the female mermaid into the depths of the palace.

These mermaids had not reached the sixth level and did not notice that Liu Xun was lurking here.

The mermaid was taken into a room built with treasures, where she sat in a daze with lifeless eyes.

Looking at the situation, it doesn't look like imprisonment, but more like house arrest.

Is the male merman the mermaid's father or elder?
Because he couldn't understand the mermaid language, Liu Xun didn't know what happened within the mermaid remnant.

Suddenly, an idea came to him.

Mermaids and Wet People are very similar, and people often mistake Wet People for Mermaids.

Will the wet people be able to understand the language of the mermaids?

Liu Xun called a wetman over and asked: "Can you understand the language of these mermaids?"

Shi Min looked at it for a few seconds, mumbling something and nodding continuously.

Liu Xun was lost in thought and called over Gou Wen and Ying Ying.

The gouwen connects the voice of the heart, and the parrot can speak human language.

After the two strange beasts connected with the minds of the wet people, Liu Xun said, "Repeat the language of these mermaids for me."

Parrot relayed the thoughts of the wet people: "Yes, Immortal Lord."

The wet people began to concentrate on translating the mermaid language, and the parrot converted the wet people's thoughts into human language.

Only then did Liu Xun understand what those mermaids were talking about.

"We can't feed that lamp!"

"Its appetite has been growing recently!"

"Many mermaids have already been sent in. Do you want to destroy the entire tribe?"

An old mermaid who looked quite old was filled with anger as he spoke angrily to the male mermaid who had scolded the mermaid before.

The male merman remained noncommittal, his eyes determined: "Do you know the consequences of turning off that light?"

The old mermaid lost his temper for a moment: "But you can't use the mermaid's life to fill the gap!"

A hint of struggle flashed across the male mermaid's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.

How could he not feel heartbroken when he used the lives of his people to fill that lamp!

There are fewer and fewer mermaids who meet the requirements, and the male mermaids are even ready to fill the lamp with their own daughters.

If a few mermaids and their entire clan die, there will be no way out!
Three days from now is the deadline for his daughter to be sent into the lamp. The male merman clenched his fists tightly, feeling unwilling.

why!
Why did our ancestors insist on getting back this thing that could restrain the mermaids!
Without the mermaid's life, none of the clan would be able to survive.

The mermaids have tried many methods, including passing the lamp to the human race and having the human race's powerful people take control of it.

Every method has been tried.

But as long as one mermaid dies, the lamp will reappear in the mermaid tribe.

When some mermaids die of old age or accidents, no matter what method is used, it is impossible to stop the light from returning.

Over time, the mermaids could only fill the gap with human lives.

Now it's his daughter's turn!
Liu Xun's eyes moved slightly. Something that can restrain mermaids?

He had never heard of it.

As the image of the mermaid leader moved, Liu Xun saw the thing that frightened the mermaid.

It turned out to be a glazed palace lantern!
The flames in the palace lanterns were always burning and constantly steaming, but there was nothing special about them.

But Liu Xun always felt that its style was very familiar.

Where have you seen it?
In an instant, Liu Xun's eyes widened.

Pig village!

The stone coffin we encountered in Zhuzhai had a stone lamp and a stone bowl on top of it.

The patterns of the two are the same, the only difference is the material, one is glass and the other is stone.

The lamp on the strange sarcophagus looked plain, and I didn't realize it was a palace lantern at the time.

Now when he saw the glazed palace lantern, Liu Xun remembered it.

Is there any connection between these two lights?
Palace lanterns, could they be something from the ancient holy dynasties?
Liu Xun's eyes stayed on the lamp, appearing a little cautious.

Whether it is a stone lantern or a glazed palace lantern, both are extremely evil.

Liu Xun was not sure whether he should continue to promote this marriage with Wu Feng.

The mermaids are about to be sent into the glass palace lanterns, so what is the point of talking about marriage?
When Liu Xun was about to give up, his sight passed through the flame of the lamp again.

The flame of a lamp that needs to be fueled by mermaids must be some kind of strange fire!

With the ability to steal fat and control fire, the strange fire is a great help to Liu Xun.

I just don't know if this strange fire will be beyond my control.

Liu Xun repeated this over and over again, his heart full of greed for the palace lantern.

The light of Huang Jing suddenly dimmed, and Liu Xun woke up.

Through the illusion, the lamp was actually interfering with my thoughts!

Liu Xun became very alert and cut off the screen in an instant.

The strangeness of the palace lantern made Liu Xun realize that the thing was not easy to mess with, but after calming down, he came up with some more plans in his mind.

This marriage is not impossible.

As long as the problem of the mermaids is solved, it will be possible for Wu Feng and the mermaid to form a happy marriage.

The stone coffin in Zhuzhai left a very deep impression on Liu Xun. Now that he encountered a palace lantern that seemed to be related to it, it would be a lie for Liu Xun to say that he did not want to get to the bottom of it.

But considering that the lamp was evil, Liu Xun did not act rashly.

He used all kinds of tricks on those merman monks to ensure that no one of them could send the merwoman into the lamp.

During the three days, Liu Xun made some further preparations.

When the time came, the leader of the mermaids ordered his men to take the mermaid to the palace lantern.

However, various accidents happened one after another and the mermaid was unable to leave the room.

The merman leader was exhausted from dealing with the situation and was extremely anxious.

If we don’t fill the palace lanterns, everyone in the tribe will die!
The leader of the mermaids became furious and personally brought the glass palace lantern to the mermaid's room.

His face was filled with grief, and he reluctantly turned his eyes away from his daughter's face.

The mermaid looked at the palace lanterns getting closer and closer, and her original fear somehow disappeared. Instead, she felt relieved. She smiled quietly at her father, closed her eyes, and calmly accepted her fate.

The palace lanterns were about to be lit, and suddenly there was an angry shout: "You can't kill Qiu!"

What I heard was not the human language, but the mermaid language.
