The difficult path of cultivation for a grassroots female practitioner

Chapter 450: Not destined to be a romantic heroine

Xiao Han followed the male mermaid for a long time, and the outline of a small island appeared in her consciousness.

At this time, the mermaid stopped and Xiao Han also hurriedly stopped.

The male merman looked at Xiao Han and said, "At midnight, the clams will come out of their caves and go to the beach to absorb the essence of the bright moon. Wait here first and then go over to catch them at midnight."

Xiao Han nodded in agreement.

The mermaid must be more familiar with the habits of clams than she is.

I can't get close to the island, but I'm not in a hurry either. Staying in the air all the time also consumes my spiritual energy.

Xiao Han then threw out the flying boat, used it as a boat, and stopped it on the sea.

She stood at the front of the flying boat, with her hands behind her back, looking up at the rising bright moon, looking a bit like a poet admiring the moon on a night tour.

Unfortunately, the boat had not been loaded for long when it suddenly shook violently.

The male merman flipped over and tumbled out of the water onto the deck of the boat. He then spread out his limbs and lay on his back on the boat, looking very comfortable.

Xiao Han's interest was interrupted. He sat down at the bow of the boat and looked at the merman, who was now much happier than before. He asked, "Who did you fight with last time that nearly cost you your life?"

The male mermaid froze and remained silent.

He slowly sat up, curled up his legs, and stared at the sea surface that looked like it was covered with golden fragments.

Just when Xiao Han thought he wouldn't answer her question, he suddenly spoke.

"I was tricked by my brother and entered the territory of a pair of ninth-level sea beasts."

Xiao Han immediately understood.

According to the demon realm classification, the male merman was only at the eighth level, equivalent to the middle stage of the Golden Core stage for humans, about the same level as her. He was besieged by a pair of ninth-level sea beasts and, although he escaped, he nearly died.

If I hadn't met her, I would have lost my life in all likelihood.

But, was he deceived by his brother? This shows that the mermaids are not united internally.

"Why did your brother lie to you?"

Since he had nothing to do, Xiao Han naturally wanted to hear some gossip about the mermaids.

The male merman remained silent again.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xiao Han continued, "I guess your father is the leader of the mermaid tribe. One of you and your brother will inherit the position of leader. That's why your brother wants you to die so that no one will compete with him for the position."

The male mermaid suddenly turned to look at her, shock in his blue eyes.

"How did you know?"

Xiao Han: Oh my god, could it be that the bloody plots in those novels are happening to the mermaids?

Brother, I was just randomly writing it according to the routine of writing novels, how could I have expected it to be such a coincidence!

"Is everything I said true?" Xiao Han asked in surprise. She swears to God, she was just used to writing novels and was just making it up.

The male mermaid turned his head again and looked at the sparkling sea.

Obviously, he was plotted against by his brother, and the pain in his heart would be difficult to heal in a short period of time.

Xiao Han didn't know how to comfort this mermaid, so he could only look up at the moon again.

The night was quiet, the moon high in the sky. The sea was calm, and the two people on the flying boat seemed to be lost in their own thoughts.

At this moment, a sound seemed to be coming from afar on the silent sea.

The merman who had been staring at the sea in a trance suddenly changed his expression. He flashed and jumped into the water, then said urgently, "Hurry up, leave here!"

Although Xiao Han didn't know what was going on, she subconsciously flew up. With a burst of spiritual power, the flying boat returned to the size of a palm and was put into her storage bracelet.

Then she flew back in the direction she came from.

However, before she could fly far, a powerful pressure suddenly descended and attacked her fiercely.

Xiao Han suddenly felt as if a heavy burden was placed on him, and he fell straight into the water.

At this moment, something flew over from the water as fast as lightning, opened its arms and hugged Xiao Han.

This person is naturally the male merman.

Xiao Han is already a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm. Even if he falls into the water, he will not drown.

Now that she was being hugged by the male mermaid, she instinctively wanted to break free.

At this moment, the male merman suddenly sent her a message, "Don't speak for a while, don't say anything."

Xiao Han stopped struggling because she could feel the owner of that terrifying pressure coming towards her.

The bright moonlight still shines on the calm sea. Under such moonlight, the terrible murderous intent seems to be much diluted.

A tall mermaid with dark blue hair and dark blue skin on his face, wearing clothes made of mermaid gauze, and with terrifying spiritual pressure, was floating in the air, looking at the two people in the water with cold eyes.

At this time, the male merman let go of Xiao Han and bowed to the male merman above him. At the same time, he uttered a string of gibberish that Xiao Han could not understand at all.

The mermaid above his head also made short sounds, as if scolding the male mermaid in the water.

Then the male mermaid started to mumble a long string of words.

Xiao Han, whose life was in danger, couldn't help but feel indignant because no one cared about her and she couldn't understand the conversation between the two people.

Why is it that after a demon beast transforms into a human form, the heavens will allow it to develop great intelligence, understand human speech, and speak human language? But humans cannot understand the animal language between different demon beast species.

At this time, the conversation between the two mermaids had ended.

The male merman who was rescued by Xiao Han looked at Xiao Han and said, "That's my father. He came to take me back. He promised you to catch a fourth-level sea clam. He will help you catch it."

Just as he finished speaking, the mermaid in the sky disappeared.

The male mermaid looked around and sensed that his father had reached the island ahead where there were clams. He flipped his hand and took out a small, shiny conch from somewhere.

"Take it. Next time you come to this sea area and want to see me, blow it hard."

Xiao Han took the small conch and thanked him.

The male mermaid suddenly hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear: "I will remember you."

Xiao Han: Oh my god, I feel like I’ve become the heroine of a romance novel. It’s not easy!

Unfortunately, before she could be intoxicated for too long, the mermaid let her go.

Afterwards, the leader of the mermaid clan, the father of the male mermaid, came back with a huge sea clam that was as tall as a man.

He threw the clam in front of Xiao Han, and then shouted at the male mermaid a few times.

The male mermaid glanced at Xiao Han, then turned around and swam away quickly.

From afar, a beautiful and ethereal singing voice could be heard. Although I couldn't understand what was being sung, the heavenly voice was enough to make one's ears pregnant.

Xiao Han bound the clam with spiritual silk thread, looked at the male merman walking away, and couldn't help but sigh.

I saved a mermaid and could have had a poignant mermaid romance, but I just wasn't destined to be the heroine. Even though it was impossible for me to fall in love with a mermaid, now I wanted to play the heroine, but there was no chance.
