When Beauty Meets Beasts
Chapter 487: Merfolk
Due to the destruction of the Dark Moon Temple, Huanhuan and Xuan Wei became the most wanted criminals in Dark Moon City. Even Xue Ling was listed on Dark Moon City’s blacklist.
Even so, Huanhuan and Xue Ling still secretly flew back to Dark Moon City to investigate. They could not find any trace of Xuan Wei.
The two of them returned empty-handed.
Huanhuan scratched her head and muttered in distress, “I clearly saw him that night, and he was injured. He shouldn’t have run far. Why can’t I find him?!”
Xue Ling said, “He must know that Dark Moon City isn’t safe anymore, so he left long ago.”
“Then where is he now?”
Xue Ling spread his hands. “I don’t know.”
Huanhuan was very disappointed. She finally found Xuan Wei, but it was all for nothing.
Bai Di thought about it seriously. “Huanhuan was right. Xuan Wei is injured now, so he can’t have gone far. He should still be around.”
Xue Ling said, “That’s true, but this place is so big. It’s not easy to find Xuan Wei.”
“I know a place nearby. We might be able to find traces of Xuan Wei.”
Huanhuan and Xue Ling perked up at Bai Di’s words.
“Where is it?”
Bai Di said, “I’ve been tracking Xuan Wei for more than a decade. I’ve dealt with him a few times during this period and found some news about him. He used to have a female he liked. That female was a mermaid. Rainbow Lake, where the merfolk live, isn’t far from here.”
Hearing the words ‘merfolk’, Huanhuan immediately remembered what the prophet had told her before she left. She immediately said, “Then let’s go to Rainbow Lake to take a look. We might be able to find traces of Xuan Wei.”
Bai Di hesitated.
Huanhuan took the initiative to ask, “What’s wrong?”
“The merfolk are very xenophobic. If we rashly go over there, we’ll probably be forcefully expelled as intruders.”
The merfolk was a very special race. They had soft bodies and beautiful appearances. They also lived much longer than ordinary beasts. They also had a unique secret recipe to make shark silk.
They lived underwater all year round and lived in seclusion. Their location was hidden deeply, and it was difficult for outsiders to see them.
Hence, they had always been very mysterious in the eyes of outsiders.
Huanhuan took out the shark crystal. “The prophet gave this to me and asked me to help hand it over to the leader of the merfolk. I’m guessing that the leader of the merfolk should be friends with the prophet. They won’t make things difficult for us on account of the prophet, right?”
Xue Ling glanced at the shark crystal and said with a faint smile, “I’ve long heard that the merfolk have a shark crystal that can open the door to the treasure. Could it be this?”
Huanhuan was very surprised. “Treasure?”
“It’s just a legend. You don’t have to take it seriously.” Bai Di took the shark crystal and looked at it. “But this shark crystal is indeed precious. Even if you don’t return it to the merfolk, you can buy a high-grade crystal mine if you sell it.”
Huanhuan’s eyes widened. “It’s so valuable?!”
Bai Di returned the shark crystal to her. “Keep it carefully. Don’t lose it.”
Huanhuan immediately felt that the shark crystal in her hand weighed 500 kilograms.
A high-grade crystal mine!
Just thinking about it made her heart tremble!
She carefully put the shark crystal away, afraid that it would break. If it broke, she wouldn’t be able to afford to compensate for the losses even if she sold herself!
Bai Di saw her wrapping the shark crystal in animal hide layer by layer. She was so careful that she didn’t look as mighty and domineering as a dragon. Instead, she looked more like the cute female she used to be.
He couldn’t help but want to touch her head. When he raised his hand, he realized that the female in front of him was really too tall.
If he wanted to touch the top of her head, he had to raise his hand high.
But in that case, the action of touching her head would seem too stiff.
Bai Di was in an awkward position.
Huanhuan was still wrapping the shark crystal seriously and did not notice Bai Di’s abnormality. However, Xue Ling saw his awkwardness clearly.
Xue Ling patted his shoulder. “I understand the awkwardness in your heart.”
Bai Di lowered his hand and smiled helplessly. “I’m not used to Huanhuan like this.”
As far as he could remember, she had always been a soft and cute little female. All he had to do was reach out and pick her up easily.
But now, she was as tall and heavy as a male beast. Even Bai Di and Xue Ling could barely pick her up.
Xue Ling put on an experienced expression and sighed. “You’ll naturally get used to it after you’re around her for a longer time.”
Huanhuan finally put away the shark crystal. “Let’s go to Rainbow Lake to look for the merfolk.”
She and Xue Ling spread their wings and flew into the sky. Bai Di turned into a tiger and ran on the ground.
The three of them traveled for a day and a night before finally finding Rainbow Lake, which was deep in a forest.
Rainbow Lake was even larger than Huanhuan had imagined. At a glance, she couldn’t see the end of the lake at all. There were a few small isles scattered in the middle of the lake. There were trees and grass on the isles.
Huanhuan and Xue Ling landed on the ground. Bai Di transformed into his human form. He put on his animal hide skirt and took two steps forward. As soon as he approached the lake, a huge wave suddenly rose from the lake and pounced on Bai Di and the others!
The three of them reacted quickly and retreated in time to avoid the attack.
The lake water hit the ground hard, splashing high.
Huanhuan clicked her tongue. “This is a greeting gift from the merfolk? What a big scene.”
Xue Ling brushed the water off his sleeve and frowned. “I hate water.”
When his feathers came into contact with water, they would become very heavy and very uncomfortable.
Bai Di stepped forward onto the wet grass and raised his voice. “We’re looking for the leader of the merfolk. We hope you can help pass the message.”
A moment later, two male beasts with fishtails emerged from the water.
They floated on the lake, holding weapons made of fish bones. They looked coldly at the three people on the land.
One of the older merfolk said, “Our leader doesn’t know you at all. Don’t even think about lying to us.”
Another merfolk waved the weapon in his hand and shouted in a low voice, “Leave this place immediately. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude to you!”
Before coming, Huanhuan was mentally prepared for the merfolk to be xenophobic. However, she did not expect them to be so unyielding. Not to mention wanting to meet the leader of the merfolk, they were even attacked for merely approaching the lake.
Wasn’t this group of merfolk too vigilant and aggressive?!
Huanhuan quickly said, “We really are here to meet with your leader. Someone asked me to give something to your leader. Please inform him of this.”
“What do you have to give him?”
“This item is precious. I have to see your leader before I can take it out.”
It was a treasure worth a high-grade crystal mine! Huanhuan had to be careful.
