After a while, the mermaid emerged from the lake, exposing only above its chest, its huge tail swinging in the bottom to keep it balanced.

"Why are you back?" Li Xuehao looked at her with interest.

The mermaid was five or six meters away from the shore, her expression was still cautious, and she was probably very wary of him, she looked at him with a trace of doubt in her eyes: "You, who are you?"

"Do you want to know my name?" Li Xuehao smiled, seeing her cautious appearance, he also had a sense of playfulness, "It's a pity, I won't tell you." ”

The mermaid puffed out her cheeks and stared at him, as if she was a little angry, but her delicate face was even more lovely.

Li Xuehao didn't speak, and took out the fish scales with handwriting at that moment.

Seeing the scales in his hand, the mermaid's eyes couldn't help but light up: "My!" In excitement, she almost swam to the shore and snatched the scales. But thinking of the horror of the human beings on the shore, I didn't dare to go over after all.

Li Xuehao smiled and threw the scales back to her, they had already been picked off, what was the use of going back?

However, to his surprise, the mermaid received the scales, really stuck the fish scales on one of the missing scales in the middle of her tail, and pressed it with her hand, and actually took it back.

She flicked her tail to make sure the scales wouldn't fall off, and then nodded in satisfaction.

Li Xuehao thinks it's amazing, mermaids are indeed different from humans, and the scales can grow back into the body, almost as magical as people who can grow back after losing a certain part.

"Thank you. After the mermaid flicked her tail, she thanked the human on the shore, neither in her eyes nor on her face, but she was not so careful and guarded, because she finally knew that this human had come to save her, and he had come to save herself when he met the scales that he had thrown out for help. As depicted in the human books, he is a prince who comes to save himself, a princess in distress.

"Can I ask you a question?" Li Xuehao finally felt some comfort when he heard her thanks, which was much better than leaving nothing behind after she ran away.

"Uh-huh. The mermaid nodded, and she swam a little further to the shore, about three or four meters, and stopped again, for there was not only the prince on the shore, but also a terrifying and huge monster, and she was still a little afraid.

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt you. Li Xuehao knew what she was worried about, and patted the body of the giant eel next to him.

The giant eel nodded cooperatively, indicating that it would not hurt anyone.

"It, understand?" the mermaid looked at the giant eel curiously, and the fear in her eyes gradually disappeared, this sea beast, can you actually understand human speech?

"Yes, it understands what we're saying. Li Xuehao said with certainty, the mermaid doesn't seem to finish a sentence coherently, and every time it is very concise.

The mermaid had surprise in her eyes, the giant beast that could communicate seemed to her to be amazing, and at the same time, her fear gradually disappeared, and she swam a little closer, about two meters, staring at the prince who saved her: "Ask." ”

Li Xuehao was reminded by her and thought of the question he wanted to ask her before: "I want to know, ...... like you Are there a lot of them? Do you have any other people?"

The mermaid looked at him, frowned, shook her head at first, then nodded again, not knowing what it meant.

Li Xuehao couldn't understand either, if there were a lot of clansmen who just nodded, why did they shake their heads again, was there a lot of the same kind, or was she the only one?

"I, one. The mermaid seemed to realize his confusion and pointed to herself.

"Are you the only one? You don't have a clan?" Li Xuehao asked suspiciously, if there were no clan parents, how could she be born?

"Born, one. The mermaid pointed to herself and made a gesture of "1".

"Do you mean that you have been a human being since birth?" Li Xuehao guessed what she meant.

The mermaid nodded, "Uh-huh." ”

"What about your parents?" Li Xuehao continued.

The mermaid looked dazed and shook her head: "I don't know." ”

I don't know? In other words, I haven't seen my parents since I was born? I don't know how she came about? Li Xuehao can't imagine how she survived in this vast sea, she must be extremely weak when she was born, and any sea creature bigger than her may be her natural enemy, and she can actually survive.

"Why can you understand our words and still speak?" Li Xuehao asked again, he could actually guess a little bit about this question, and estimated that mermaids had some ways to contact some human civilizations.

"......" was asked about this, and the mermaid seemed hesitant, presumably this was her secret, but thinking that the human in front of her was the prince who had come to rescue her when she met her scales, she quickly made a decision again.

She swung her huge fishtail and swam to the shore, holding her hands on the grass and exposing the fishtail out of the water.

A beautiful "singing" came out of her mouth, and as the "singing" sounded, she saw that the originally huge fishtail gradually degenerated and turned into a pair of human legs.

With fair and slender legs, no clothes on, and crystal clear skin, like white jade, she seemed to know shyness, curling her legs to block the most private parts.

Li Xuehao's eyes couldn't help but widen, this was another thing that shocked him, the mermaid would actually lose its tail and become a real human being!

Of course, this also makes sense, why she speaks Japanese, because she can become a human and contact humans, but she probably doesn't dare to contact deeply, so she only understands some surfaces, and at the same time is wary of humans.

The mermaid who has become a human nature, her legs are naturally not as long as a fishtail, according to Li Xuehao's estimate, she will become a human with a length of one meter eight, which is similar to his height.

This seems to be her innate ability, because in the process of the fishtail turning into human legs, Li Xuehao did not sense the action of the aura, it was just an instinct of hers.

The giant eel on the side was also shocked, in addition to the shock in the black and white eyes, there seemed to be a strong envy, it was probably also amazed by this ability, can a fish actually become a human? Why doesn't it have this ability.

After the mermaid turned the tail into human legs, she swung it a few times and made some splashes, and she seemed to enjoy the appearance of turning into legs.

Li Xuehao watched quietly from the side, the mermaid will become a real person, it seems amazing to him, this is not a "transformation" that has been cultivated to a certain extent, but is innate. Compared to those creatures that need to be refined, I don't know how much more convenient. Take the giant eel as an example, it has to cultivate to the point of transformation, and unless it can grow into a real dragon, it can only be a giant beast in the sea.
