"A mermaid performance?" Lu Yao was slightly taken aback, then her eyes lit up.

Lu Yao had only ever heard of mermaids, never seen one, but having heard the story of "The Little Mermaid" since childhood, she was determined to see one.

After all, this is a living, real mermaid.

You'd be missing out if you didn't go see it!

Although she hadn't said she'd go first, her expression already showed her eagerness.

Xie Linyu put his arm around her waist, a smile playing on his lips: "I knew Yaoyao liked mermaids."

Thinking of their previous discussions about the merfolk, Lu Yao's cheeks flushed: "No, I wasn't. I was just curious. It's rare to run into one, so I thought I'd go check it out."

Fu Ciyan did not object, but simply said, "Mermaids are naturally passionate and unrestrained, and there may be some close interactions during the performance."

"That's perfect, we can touch their tails up close. They must really enjoy being touched." Xie Linyu's tone was somewhat meaningful.

Lu Yao reached out and gently patted him, telling him not to talk nonsense.

Seeing that they had made their decision, Zhang Hai smiled and said, "Let's go now. If we go now, we should still be able to get front-row seats."

Lu Yao knew that Director Zhang Hai meant well, but considering her current health condition, she wanted to keep a low profile, so she politely declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Director Zhang, but please don't trouble yourself. Let's just leave it to fate; you can sit anywhere."

She was just curious about the mermaids and wanted to see them for herself; she wasn't planning to do anything.

There's no need to get too close.

She wouldn't be able to accept any interaction between them.

Lu Yao's words made Zhang Hai take another look at her. From the moment they met until now, Lu Yao had been very approachable. He had met many famous women before, but they were all very strong-willed and most of them were not easy to get along with. Even the few he could get along with had their own principles and habits.

Women as gentle and easygoing as Lu Yao, who seem to have no airs at all, are very rare.

Moreover, he could sense that Lu Yao's easygoing and gentle nature was not an act.

He now understands why men with superior genes, such as Fu Ciyan, Xie Linyu, and even Zhou Jinlu, would be attracted to her.

She possesses a very strong, approachable charm that makes people lower their guard and want to get closer to her, seeking a touch of gentleness.

Zhang Hai snapped out of his thoughts, smiled and nodded: "Then let's just go with the flow, walk around and see what's there, and sit down when we find a suitable spot."

The group continued along the path through the flower field.

Passing through a field of blooming sunflowers, a melodious and ethereal song drifts from afar, like waves gently lapping against rocks, or moonlight spilling onto a calm sea, clear and mysterious.

Lu Yao slowed her pace involuntarily and listened intently.

The singing seemed to have a magical power, as if it could purify the soul and give it a place to belong.

"It's the chanting of the mermaids," Xie Linyu whispered in her ear. "They are skilled at expressing emotions through song. It is said that different songs can convey different emotions and have a healing effect on the heart."

Lu Yao nodded, turning her gaze toward the direction from which the sound came.

Passing through a grove of flowers, you come to an artificial lake with crystal-clear water that shimmers in the sunlight.

A huge transparent stage has been erected on the lake, and several mermaid performers are preparing on it.

They had long, dark blue hair that shone brightly in the sunlight, deep dark green eyes, and skin with a faint blue glow. The gill patterns behind their ears twitched gently with their breath. However, the fish tails that Lu Yao wanted to see did not appear. Instead, there were pairs of long legs encased in their trousers.

It seems the legend is true: after the merfolk come ashore, their fish tails transform into legs.

"Let's go over there, there are seats over there," Fu Ciyan said, gently putting his arm around Lu Yao's shoulder and leading her over.

All the stands were built around the artificial lake. At this time, many people had already gathered in the stands, but since the performance had not yet started, some seats were not yet full.

But soon, as Lu Yao and the others took their seats, a loud bang was heard, and a firework exploded in the daytime sky. Then, the open sky above the venue closed in everyone's eyes.

Just as darkness was about to fall, suddenly, dazzling lights of various colors blazed on, followed by a powerful and dynamic intro.

The atmosphere instantly became lively!

Accompanied by dynamic music, the stage lights began to change, with colorful beams of light flashing and intertwining, enveloping the entire performance venue in a dreamlike atmosphere.

Cheers erupted from the audience, and some even swayed gently to the rhythm.

Lu Yao sat in her seat, her eyes reflecting the changing lights and shadows on the stage, and the corners of her lips unconsciously curved upwards.

Xie Linyu leaned closer to her ear and asked in a low voice, "Do you like this atmosphere?"

Lu Yao nodded, and mimicked him by leaning closer to his ear: "It feels like watching a concert, it's quite interesting."

Xie Linyu's ears turned slightly red from her warm breath. He coughed lightly and reached out to put his arm around her waist.

Fu Ciyan sat on the other side of Lu Yao, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings, habitually remaining vigilant.

On stage, the lights suddenly went out.

Immediately afterwards, a soft blue light shone from the center of the stage, and several mermaid performers slowly rose onto the stage.

They wore gossamer-thin gossamer garments that swayed gently with their movements, and their long, dark blue, seaweed-like hair shimmered under the lamplight.

The beautiful singing voices that came from their mouths instantly silenced the originally noisy venue, and the audience was captivated by their melodious singing.

Then, the lead mermaid suddenly leaped from the platform and plunged into the water with a splash. The moment he entered the water, Lu Yao clearly saw that his originally straight and slender legs instantly transformed into a huge silver-blue fish tail!

His tail fin unfurled under the light, its thin membrane adorned with twinkling lights, swaying gently with his movements in the water, as if he were wearing the entire starry sky on his body. At that moment, his hair also changed from dark blue to silver, the same color as his tail.

Lu Yao's eyes widened instantly.

She had seen countless works of art about mermaids—paintings, sculptures, and films—but the sheer awe she felt when she actually witnessed those legs transform into a fish tail in an instant was beyond words.

It's simply a gift from the Creator.

The mermaid turned gracefully in the water, her long arms parting the ripples, her silver hair flowing freely like moonlight.

He tilted his head slightly, his dark green eyes looking at the audience, a smile curving his lips. He extended his fair arm out of the water and snapped his fingers towards the sky.

In an instant, several mermaids on the platform leaped into the air, and as they fell into the water, their colorful fish tails came into view.

Lu Yao was engrossed in watching, her eyes following the figures in the water without blinking.

Silver, blue, purple, and cyan fish tails intertwined and darted through the water, as if bringing the magnificence of the entire ocean to this stage, making her feel a surge of excitement.
