At this time, an older-looking mermaid swam over and said, "Please... be my guest."

He said, pointing at Su He.

Gu Liyue's eyes lit up. If they could communicate, the problem could be solved.

She said, "If you want to treat me, let's treat them together."

He pointed at a few people.

The old mermaid looked at the nine of them, grinned and nodded.

Gu Liyue looked at everyone and asked for their opinions.

Xiao Ju said irritably, "What choice do we have? We're already in the sea. I want to fight, but I don't think I can win."

Everyone thought of the powerful captain running so fast and felt that these mermaids were not easy to deal with. They all agreed with Xiao Ju's opinion.

Su He apologized, "I'm sorry for causing trouble for everyone. I don't know why this happened."

Xiao Ju said proudly: "It's okay, since they invited us to be their guests, let's go and see for ourselves, this is what experience is all about!"

Everyone nodded.

Gu Liyue said, "Since you arrived in Xiyun City, you've felt something strange. Perhaps it's because of them. You have to figure it out, otherwise, you don't know when you'll be taken away. We'll accompany you to see."

Su He looked at everyone gratefully and said, "Thank you."

Gu Liyue looked at the old mermaid and waved her hand, saying, "Let's go!"

He understood, and he chatted with the leader. The leader swam in front to lead the way, and the nine of them swam behind them in the middle.

Gu Liyue felt that with them around her, swimming was not difficult and was even easier than walking.

Wen Qinnuan said, "Hey, this is so easy to swim!"

Qiao Zhiwen also said: "It must be because of these mermaids. I don't know what method they used."

Yun Lizhi asked curiously, "Is this their magical power?"

After hearing what they said, Xiaoxuan simply stood on top of Gu Liyue's head. It was too lazy to fly.

Xiao Ju said: "Even if I don't move my hands or feet, I can still follow them forward."

Gu Liyue wasn't thinking about these things. Seeing that everyone seemed to have forgotten their own situation, she asked, "Do you know anything about mermaids?"

She looked at Su He first, and Su He shook his head.

Xiahou Jingrong whispered, "I read a book before, and it said that they were cruel and brutal, and loved to eat people, especially monks."

Qiao Zhiwen said, "I also read in books that they are good at deceiving people. Their singing is their weapon. They can manipulate people. Those who encounter them rarely come back alive. That's why there are very few records left."

Gu Liyue looked at Su He and asked, "Su He, I think they are clearly looking for you. There must be something special about you. Think about it and think about whether your parents have mentioned them to you."

Su He said, "Actually, I've never met my parents. I was raised by my grandfather, a casual cultivator. I don't remember him ever talking about mermaids."

Gu Liyue said in surprise: "I'm sorry to bring up your sad story."

Su He smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't think it's a sad thing."

Li Xiuyuan patted his shoulder.

Xiao Juze said: "You have friends like us."

Su He nodded, and then he remembered something and said, "My grandfather said he picked me up on the roadside. At that time, I had a set of clothes and a flute on me."

Su He was about to take it out as he spoke, but Gu Liyue patted his hands and looked at the mermaids around them.

Su He understood but didn't take it out.

Gu Liyue added: "Everyone wear the water-repellent beads."

Nie Hengzhou watched their interaction with a soft expression, and he looked at Gu Liyue deeply again.

At this moment, they came to a reef and stopped. Gu Liyue looked around calmly.

The leader let out a long howl, ethereal and melodious.

After a while, the environment before them slowly changed. An underwater city appeared in the sea. It looked very grand. The old mermaid swam to Gu Liyue and Su He and gestured, "Please... come in."

Gu Liyue watched him dive into the water, glanced at everyone, asked Xiaoxuan to return to the space, and dived in as well.

As soon as we dived down, we found a plaque in front of us.

Everyone actually recognized the words on the plaque. It said: Meiyin City.

Seeing these three words, Gu Liyue felt that perhaps she could find someone to communicate with here.

Everyone dived down one after another and followed the old mermaid into the city, curiously looking at everything in the city.

On the street, there were a few mermaids swimming around, seemingly leading a leisurely life. They also looked at Gu Liyue and her group with curiosity.

When the old mermaid came to a castle, he stopped, said something to the guard, and stood there looking into the castle.

After a while, a little mermaid swam out. She was very cute, with big round eyes. Her blue tail slapped the sea water from time to time. She chattered something and gestured with her hands.

Wen Qinnuan said, "She's so cute!"

Yun Lizhi nodded.

Everyone looked at the cute little mermaid with great interest. The little mermaid saw that everyone was gesturing at her but she didn't respond. She was a little annoyed, but helpless. Finally, she walked away angrily.

"I don't know what she wants to express. She looks very angry." Gu Liyue said.

The old mermaid led everyone into the castle.

Swimming into the main hall, the old mermaid said one word: "King."

At this time, a figure appeared in the main seat, it was a female mermaid.

She was very beautiful, with blue eyes, a small and straight nose, a not-so-big mouth, and a small totem on her forehead that looked like a trident.

Gu Liyue and the others were surprised that the Mermaid King was actually a woman.

The Mermaid King originally thought he would only bring one person into Meiyin City, but he didn't expect nine people to come at once. This was unprecedented.

The old mermaid bowed.

She looked at the old mermaid in confusion, and the two began to communicate.

Nine people stood in the hall, and could not understand what they were saying.

Li Xiuyuan watched carefully the conversation between the two people in the hall, trying to figure out what they were expressing.

Gu Liyue observed the things around her. Four tall pillars stood around the hall, inlaid with palm-sized luminous pearls that emitted a faint light.

The floor inside the hall looks like it's made of white jade, yet it continuously emits spiritual energy.

There are some murals on the circular dome, which seem to be the story of a monk becoming a god if you look closely.

There are four murals in total.

The first painting shows a man holding a trident and fighting an evil demon, with his subjects standing behind him. The demon is clearly a demon because of his hideous face and the black aura emanating from his body.

Gu Liyue looked carefully at the man holding the trident, but could not see clearly whether his lower body was a fish tail or legs, as it was obscured by the clouds.

She always felt that this was the key point.

The second painting depicts a pair of lovers, leaning against each other in a warm and cozy scene. There is a faint halo above their heads, and a city behind them.
