Chapter 159 Is Dan Yue the Little Mermaid?
Fuying gently stroked the patterns on the conch shell with her fingertips, as the ocean currents swept up her long hair.

Jingxiang huddled behind Xingyao, peeking cautiously into the rock house.

When his gaze fell on the languidly reclining Fuying, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, when he glanced at the shattered corpses scattered on the ground, he couldn't help but shudder and his fingers clenched tighter.

She underestimated this "friend" she had made on the shore.

An eerie silence filled the room; even the faint sound of the ocean current could be clearly heard.

Jingxiang could even hear her own rapid heartbeat, and she couldn't help but slow her breathing.

However, she has never been one to hold her temper, and she quickly became irritated.

Curiosity grew wildly in her heart like seaweed. Jingxiang was eager to know what had happened in the rock house. She couldn't help but secretly tug at Xingyao's arm, her eyes shining brightly, clearly urging him to take her inside.

Xingyao's brows furrowed suddenly, and he gently shook his head at her. Now was not the time for joking around.

Jingxiang looked disappointed, as if she had deflated, but she still stubbornly tiptoed to look inside.

Perhaps her movements were too large, finally startling Ru, who had been tense all along.

She turned to look at Jingxiang and Xingyao, her serious expression softening slightly, and waved to them.

Jingxiang's eyes suddenly lit up. With a "whoosh," she slipped through Xingyao's arms and nimbly arrived in front of Ru, politely calling out, "Clan Chief."

When she formed a pact with Xingyao, Ru was not yet an adult, but now she is a clan leader in her own right.

Ru and Jingxiang were clearly old acquaintances. Ru gently took her hand and said, "I heard you and Xingyao went to the land beastmen's tribal trade fair. Why are you back so soon?"

Her voice rose slightly at the end, and all the irritability she had shown when facing Fuying was completely suppressed.

Mentioning this, Jingxiang's smile suddenly froze on her face. She couldn't help but steal a glance at Fuying, but quickly lowered her eyelids, her eyelashes casting an uneasy shadow under her eyes.

Ru's face stiffened, her expression suddenly turned cold, and she released her grip on Jingxiang's hand.

She turned to look at Xingyao, her gaze sharp as a blade, her voice filled with overwhelming rage: "You brought her here?!"

Xingyao's Adam's apple bobbed, and he slowly nodded as he met Ru's sharp gaze.

Your face was grim as you said, enunciating each word clearly, "Give me a reason."

Jingxiang suddenly took a deep breath and stepped forward to block Xingyao.

She opened her slender arms, looked at Ru's angry expression, and whispered, "Clan leader, I promised Fuying, she said... she said she could..."

Just as tensions were rising, a current surged outside the rocky house.

Shan Hai returned riding the waves, his face beaming with pride. As soon as he entered, he announced in a booming voice, "Chieftain, the people of the Giant Shark Tribe have all been driven out of our Merfolk territory! We are safe!"

With this announcement, the fear and anger that had been building up in the hearts of the merfolk were dispelled.

Your taut shoulders suddenly relaxed, your spine bent slightly, and finally, you held on.

Shan Hai suddenly seemed to remember something, turned to look at Fu Ying, and hesitated before saying, "Clan Chief..."

Ru waved her hand, a hint of weariness in her expression: "You all go out first, I'll talk to her alone." Fu Ying's appearance was too deceptive. She couldn't let her clansmen stay with her. Didn't they want to know about her brother? Then she would tell her, and make her give up completely!
Jingxiang scratched her head, and the pearls in her hair jingled with her movements.

She couldn't let the clan leader misunderstand Xingyao. After thinking for a moment, she made up her mind and raised her voice, "Clan leader, I haven't finished speaking! Fuying said that she can help the young clan leader reshape the star pattern and return to the deep sea!"

The rock house fell into a deathly silence, as if the ocean currents had frozen again.

Ru's pupils dilated, a turbulent storm raging in her eyes. Her gaze abruptly shifted to Fu Ying, her voice trembling, each word emphasized, the last syllable trembling: "Reshape the star pattern?"

Shan Hai also gasped sharply, his muscles beneath his scales instantly tensing.

He followed Ru's gaze in disbelief. She was Fu Ying? The fox-woman from the Oasis tribe? How could this be? She was clearly a merman beastman!

Fu Ying stood up, her expression devoid of gentleness, her brows shrouded in a distant coldness.

"So, where is Dan Yue?"

You trembled all over and staggered back half a step, as if you had suffered a great blow.

Jingxiang hurriedly reached out to support her, but saw that Ru's face was deathly pale and her lips were trembling slightly. She couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. This didn't look like a happy face. Why did she seem even more desperate?

"Clan leader?" Xingyao frowned, a bad feeling suddenly creeping into his heart.

Fu Ying frowned as she looked at Ru, who was clearly devastated. She walked up to Ru, her fingertips almost digging into Ru's shoulder blade, her voice icy cold: "Where is Dan Yue? Did something happen to him?"

If something happens to Dan Yue, she won't be completely oblivious.

Moreover, since he stepped into the deep sea, the markings on his waist have been faintly burning, indicating that he should be close to Dan Yue. It is conceivable that after he left, he did indeed look for Ru and should be hiding on some island in the sea.

Your lips trembled, as if a thousand words were stuck in your throat, but you couldn't utter a sound.

Shan Hai looked up at her, his eyes dim, and said in a low voice, "The young clan leader... went to the Demon Sea Abyss."

"The Abyss of Demons?!"

Jingxiang and Xingyao's expressions changed drastically, their gasps trembling, their voices almost shrill.

Fu Ying's alarm bells blared instantly, her voice as sharp as if it were icy: "What kind of place is the Demon Sea Abyss?"

The original owner was a land beastman. Although she had a sea beastman husband named Dan Yue, she had no feelings for him and naturally had no interest in the deep sea where Dan Yue lived, nor did she ever really care about him.

However, judging from Jingxiang and Xingyao's reactions, the Demon Sea Abyss is probably not a good place.

Jingxiang swallowed hard, her voice trembling uncontrollably: "The Demon... the Demon Sea Abyss... is inhabited by the sea monster race..."

Xingyao's eyes were bloodshot. He grabbed Jingxiang's wrist and continued, "The siren is born with the power of witchcraft, but it is not bestowed by the Beast God. It is a curse, a vicious curse!"

His voice was cold: "This ability, which far surpasses that of ordinary orcs, makes their lifespan extremely short."

"Even to prevent them from leaving the Demon Sea Abyss, there are rumors... rumors that sirens can grant wishes, so there are always some orcs who are willing to exchange their lives for the sirens' blessings."

At this point, Xingyao closed his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and his words were very difficult to understand: "Sea monsters can indeed help orcs fulfill their wishes, but orcs who come out of the Demon Sea Abyss often cannot survive more than three or five tides before they silently become sea foam, leaving not even a beast corpse behind."
