While I'm at the martial arts academy, my wife is cultivating while I enjoy life.

Ye Rou opened her eyes wide and looked at Zhou Ruoxi beside her.

"Sister Ruoxi, is she...is she talking to me?"

Zhou Ruoxi couldn't believe it either, but she had heard it clearly just now.

"Besides you, who else can be called Miss Ye the Second? Go and try to get close to her; she probably has some connections with your father."

Although the father is gone, he still enjoys an excellent reputation in people's hearts, and even in the hearts of alien beasts.

Ye Jian, the greatest master of the human race, is truly awe-inspiring.

Thinking of her father, Zhou Liren, a grandmaster of martial arts, hiding in the bunker like a coward every day, Zhou Ruoxi couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.

Yang Ding also encouraged her, "Rou, you have more influence than I do, give it a try."

"Okay, honey."

Ye Rou then politely greeted the white-haired mermaid beast.

"Hello, senior mermaid, I am Ye Rou, the second daughter of Ye Jian. I am 19 years old this year. The person carrying me is my husband, Yang Ding."

The mermaid spoke again.

"You have a heroic air about you, much like Grandmaster Ye Jian."

It was worried that its fangs would frighten these young humans, so it didn't open its mouth wide when it spoke.

"My father had already passed away when I was born, so I never met him."

"Oh, and what about your mother?"

"She...she committed suicide nineteen years ago."

A hint of pity appeared in the eyes of the white-haired mermaid beast.

No wonder these alien creatures consider humans as their own kind; they are completely empathetic to human suffering.

"Come with me, it's not safe here. The cave in the cliff ahead is where we can stay."

"Okay, please lead the way for us."

Ye Rou is sweet, lively, and polite; she is indeed very likable.

Zhou Ruoxi and Yang Ding exchanged a smile. No matter where Ye Rou went, she always had face.

The white-haired mermaid swam a few meters, then looked at Mu Lan warily.

She flew over the sea with just a small maple leaf; it was so easy for her.

"Your cultivation level is not simple. We will never harm humans, but if you attempt to hunt my offspring, I will fight you to the death."

Mu Lan clasped her hands and said, "Senior, rest assured, I am Mu Qingyao, a confidante of Queen Jinglong. The Queen said that the merfolk will always be friends of humans."

After she finished speaking, she looked down at Yang Ding.

Yang Ding was also surprised. He had kept it a secret for so long and refused to tell the truth no matter how he asked. Now that he had achieved his goal of finding the mermaid beast, he was no longer pretending.

"How old are you?" the white-haired mermaid asked.

"I...cough cough...um..."

Mu Qingyao glanced down at Yang Ding again, feeling a little guilty.

She was actually worried that Yang Ding would dislike her if she revealed her real age.

Why?

Why should I?

I am the youngest Grandmaster on Earth.

Her skin is as white as snow, as delicate as jade, and she is forever eighteen.

Moreover, the Grandmaster of the Wood element possesses extraordinary self-healing abilities, bringing new brides every night and entering the bridal chamber every day.

Men have so much good fortune to enjoy, what's there to be ashamed of?

"It's okay."

Seeing that she was unwilling to speak, the white-haired mermaid beast smiled understandingly and said, "According to the Blue Star Calendar, I am already 180 million years old this year. I am the chief of the mermaid beast clan. According to your human way of addressing me, you can call me Mermaid Granny."

When she laughs, she reveals sharp fangs.

Because of its enormous size, its fangs, which are thirty or forty centimeters long, are clearly visible even from more than ten meters away.

Kind yet eerie.

"The mermaid is more beautiful when she's serious," Ye Rou muttered to herself.

"She's not exactly beautiful either; her face is even longer than me."

Soon, the merfolk led the four to the bottom of the cliff. They first dived into the water, which was a hundred meters deep, then crawled into a hole at the bottom of the water. They traversed the narrow waterway for about ten minutes before swimming up another hundred meters to surface for air.

Inside the mountain is a huge hollow, through which one can vaguely see the starry sky above.

The mermaid chieftain looked at Yang Ding and asked, "Are you the future god of Earth that Queen Jinglong predicted twenty-five years ago?"

Yang Ding didn't mince words, clasping his hands in a fist and saying, "It is indeed I."

"Our Mercury Merfolk Clan's chieftain possesses two abilities: a naturally innate water-based power and a spatial ability evolved over billions of years. All gods in the universe are omniscient and omnipotent. What do you have to show me?"

Yang Ding did not answer, but his body suddenly emerged from the water, stepping on the ever-growing iceberg, and rose all the way to the top of the cave.

This is a water-based superpower.

Then he punched the massive boulder weighing tens of thousands of pounds that blocked the moonlight from the cave ceiling.

A loud bang.

A giant rock fell from the sky and crashed down on the mermaid grandmother.

This is the power of a martial artist.

"Be careful!"

Grandma Mermaid didn't panic, but Ye Rou did.

Just as she was about to smash the boulder open with a punch, a portal appeared in the air, allowing the boulder to escape.

This is a spatial ability.

The iceberg beneath Yang Ding's feet melted into a pool of water that spilled onto the sea. He free-fell from the sky and landed steadily on the water, which was quite a cool sight.

A simple combo of three elemental abilities conquered all the merfolk beasts.

Only the longest-lived leader of the merfolk can possess spatial abilities, an ability that requires 100 million years of evolution.

The reason they were able to evolve spatial abilities is that the Merfolk's home planet is a hundred times the size of Earth, and the entire planet is a vast ocean, while the Merfolk race numbers only a million.

Merfolk usually need a very long time to swim back home from hunting or visiting relatives.

Only with spatial capabilities can we communicate with each other better.

Yang Ding, a human from Earth, is only eighteen or nineteen years old. How could he possibly possess three abilities simultaneously?

The merman chieftain was also shocked, "You truly have the potential to become a god."

"Grandma, what is God's place in the universe?"

Ye Rou was very curious. At the time, she had only obeyed the marriage arrangement and was willing to make do for a couple of years. She had no high expectations for Yang Ding at all.

Who would have thought she'd get such a great deal, actually marrying the future God of Earth?

If I told my older sister Ye Ke this, she'd be green with envy.

"The universe has trillions of planets, all kinds of strange life forms, and all kinds of high-tech machines, but only a very few planets are protected by God."

"With such an omniscient and omnipotent god, the planet stands at the top of the cosmic food chain, able to establish spacetime tunnels to hunt on any planet without worrying about becoming someone else's hunting ground."

"The highest level of cultivation on our Mercury planet is the clan chief. There is no possibility of becoming a god. So we were swept to Blue Planet by the spacetime turbulence and can never go back."

Yang Ding asked, "So the deal you made with the Queen and Grandmaster Ye Jian back then was related to me?"

Grandma Mermaid nodded. "That's right, but at the time I didn't believe that a god would appear on Earth. I was just trying to appease her to protect my people. It wasn't until Little Silver saw you use three abilities at the same time while hunting that I started to change my mind."

The blonde mermaid pointed to herself and replied in broken Mandarin, "I am Xiao Yin."

Her fish scales are silver, hence her name.
