The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 449: Return to the Sea

The next day, Xiao Han decided to take the male merman for a walk on the street and have a seafood dinner so that he could experience the human world up close.

Of course, in order to prevent outsiders from targeting his inner elixir, she also needs to conceal the male merman.

First, the male mermaid's long dark blue hair was cut in half, and then he was tied into a big bun.

The male mermaid looked at his cut hair and didn't resist much.

Xiao Han gave him a veiled hat that could block spiritual prying and asked him to wear it.

This concealed his mermaid-like dark blue hair and dark blue eyes. Just looking at his figure, who would know that he was a mermaid?

The male merman did not object to Xiao Han's suggestion of taking him out to the street to have a look around.

This was a good opportunity for him to take another closer look at the human city, and also to see if there was any hope for him to escape from the human city alone.

The two men came to the street. The monks and pedestrians coming and going, and the shops on both sides selling various items dazzled the male mermaid.

This made him completely forget his original intention of following out, and he was only focused on carefully looking at the various items in the human world.

Xiao Han naturally wouldn't take him to the street where mermaids were sold. She had previously toured Linhai City in search of the Sea Heart Pearl and was already familiar with all the shops on these main streets.

The mermaid saw a clothing store. The clothes inside were of various patterns and colors, and he couldn't take his eyes off them.

Seeing a beast cart speeding towards him and about to hit him, Xiao Han exhaled his spiritual power, wrapped him up and pulled him to his side.

"Be careful." After saying that, she put her arm around his waist.

It was only then that Xiao Han discovered the height difference between the two.

The male mermaid was at least 1.89 meters tall, while she was only about 1.6 meters tall, and now she was hugging him.

Oh my god, what’s the difference between this and hugging a tall tree stump?

Xiao Han, who is used to being a director, secretly laughed at himself, saying that fortunately he didn't have to act as a couple with him, otherwise the audience would not buy into the huge height difference.

Xiao Han, whose mind was distracted, didn't notice at all that he was still holding the other person's waist, and the male merman was already tense all over at this moment.

Fortunately, after she felt the impact of the huge height difference, she immediately let go of the male mermaid.

Forget it, let’s stop shopping and go to a restaurant to eat seafood.

Let these barbaric mermaids who eat raw meat see the delicious food created by our human civilization.

Xiao Han signaled the male merman to follow him and took him into the seafood restaurant where he had eaten once.

After the wine and food were served, Xiao Han helped him take off his hat.

Then, Xiao Han peeled the large shrimp, dipped it in sauce and handed it to him.

The male merman took it obediently and took a bite at Xiao Han's suggestion. He felt that the taste was very strange, completely different from what he had eaten before.

At first he was a little uncomfortable with the seafood with seasonings, but after eating half of it, he completely adapted to it and felt that it tasted very good.

But after he tasted the spiritual wine here, he was conquered at once.

Unfortunately, Xiao Han only ordered a small pot of wine, so he didn’t drink enough.

At this moment, Xiao Han suddenly remembered that Croton was still in the spirit beast bag.

However, she was too lazy to explain to Badou why this person's hair was dark blue and his eyes were a different color. She simply asked for another large shrimp and threw it into Badou's spirit beast bag.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Han took the male merman back to the inn.

After returning to the inn, Xiao Han finally felt that the time was right and began formal negotiations.

"How do you feel about your injuries? Can you return to the sea?"

The male merman, who basically didn't talk to Xiao Han, naturally couldn't keep silent anymore when faced with this question.

He looked at Xiao Han and said, "I want to go back. If you send me back, I will repay you."

The voice is still ethereal and pleasant, and it is a little hard to tell whether it is male or female.

No wonder books record that mermaids have beautiful singing voices. With their voices, one can’t imagine how heavenly their singing is.

Although Xiao Han was amazed by the male mermaid's voice, she did not forget her purpose of saving him.

Now that the other party has taken the initiative to propose it, she naturally wants to strike while the iron is hot.

"I want a pearl grown inside a sea clam. It has to be at least a fourth-tier clam. If there aren't any, a third-tier clam will do. Can you help me find one?"

Fearing that the mermaid wouldn't give her all, she added, "I've spent a lot of my spirit stones on healing pills and powders. I can't even buy a good bead anymore. I'll have to look for one myself. I hope you can help me."

She didn't care whether what she said was inconsistent with what she had said before or whether there were any logical loopholes. Anyway, the point was, I spent a lot of spirit stones for you, please help me find a high-level sea clam to get the pearls.

The male merman didn't expect that she only had this request. This request was really simple for him.

"I know where the fourth-level sea clam is located under an island. I'll take you there."

Xiao Han was immediately overjoyed, but she was not overwhelmed by joy.

"There are many high-level sea beasts and mermaids in the sea. Will you protect me and prevent me from getting hurt?"

The male mermaid immediately said, "As long as we reach the sea, most of my strength will be restored. Then, I will do my best to protect you."

Xiao Han stared into his eyes. "You must swear an oath to prove that you will not lie to me. You will definitely help me find the fourth-level sea clam, and protect me from the sirens and your fellow mermen."

"How do I swear an oath?" The male merman didn't quite understand.

So Xiao Han asked the male mermaid to repeat the words he had prepared long ago and swore an oath.

In fact, the mermaids are very grateful. As long as Xiao Han doesn't play tricks and really sends him back to the sea, he will agree to these conditions even if he doesn't swear an oath.

Of course, Xiao Han didn’t have the ability to read minds, she only believed in Dao oaths.

After another day of rest, all the wounds on the male mermaid's body had scabbed over, and the injuries inside his body were half healed.

He couldn't wait to return to the sea he was familiar with.

No matter how exquisite the objects in the human city are, he has no attachment to them.

Xiao Han then asked him to continue carrying the hat, and then after leaving the city, he boarded a flying boat and flew to the depths of the sea.

The sea has returned to tranquility again, and there are many mortals driving fishing boats in the offshore area.

After the flying boat flew away from the coastline and there were no other cultivators around, the male mermaid suddenly took off his hat and threw it on the flying boat, then jumped into the sea.

Xiao Han was startled and quickly put away his flying boat, floating in the air to watch.

But in the vast blue sea, where can we find any trace of mermaids?

Could it be that the mermaids don’t care about the oath to heaven at all, and this guy ran away?

Just as Xiao Han was thinking about it, the figure of the male merman emerged from the water. His hair was loose again, and his human clothes, shoes and socks were removed.

He was still wearing the same tattered fish-skin tights he had worn before, with half of his body exposed above the water, and he was looking at Xiao Han with a bright smile.

This was the first time Xiao Han saw a mermaid smile. It had to be said that no matter whether they were humans, monsters, or mermaids, a smile was the closest expression of intimacy and proof that they were in a good mood.

Obviously, the male mermaid was very happy to be able to return to the sea again.

"Follow me, I'll take you to find clams."

The male mermaid waved at Xiao Han, and then like a human-shaped speedboat, he stretched out his arms, his head emerged from the water, and without moving his feet much, his whole body was speeding across the water.

Xiao Han was flying in the air, checking the map.

Fortunately, there was a large area in this direction that was a safe zone, so she felt a little relieved.

When it gets dark, a huge full moon rises above the tranquil sea, its light shining on the sparkling sea. The scenery is so beautiful that it seems like a dream.

The sea is bright and the moon is at this time.

Xiao Han only regretted that he was not talented and well-educated, and had no knowledge of ancient poetry. He could only think of this line of poetry from his predecessors.

Otherwise, she would have to recite a poem to live up to the beautiful scenery before her.
