Chapter Twenty-Eight: First Encounter with the Merman King, Incorporated into the Butterfly Flying Department

In a trance, it seemed that someone was talking in his ears, but he couldn't really hear it, and he tried to open his eyes, but the feeling of sleepiness still shrouded his eyelids, and Mo Fei was confused.

Waking up again, feeling that his whole body could not move, Murphy slowly opened his eyes and found himself bound by seaweed, lying in a damp cave. Where is this place, could it be that he has been taken into the lair by the merman?

Suddenly, someone walked into the cave, and several people with human upper bodies and fishtails on the lower half came to her, they were slightly taller than mortals, ordinary in appearance, with white skin, long hair, scattered behind them, ears larger than mortals, and fish-like gills behind their ears, their upper bodies were naked, their backs were densely covered with fish scales, and their lower bodies were surrounded only by skirts woven with water weed.

This is the legendary merman, but it doesn't seem to be as hideous and terrifying as Elder Xuan Bing described, Mo Fei said to them, "Take me to your leader", and the merman looked at her, but ignored her.

"Do you understand what I'm saying? I want to see your princes. The mermaids turned around and left, no matter how Mo Fei screamed, how could this be good, if he had been locked up here, how to find Ni Xiang, Mo Fei was so anxious that he didn't think that after a while, those sharks came back again, and one of them carried her on his shoulder.

"Where are you taking me?" Murphy asked, but no one answered, and the group walked out of the cave, and Murphy looked around vigilantly.

This is the depths of the sea, and with the experience of living in the East China Sea, Mo Fei felt that the water here is cleaner, and when he looked up, he found that there were many nests made of water weeds floating in the sea, and the bottom of the nest was only fixed to the bottom of the sea with a strong water weed, and it was pressed against a boulder. As she looked out at the nests, faces kept poking out of the nests, most of them looking the same, looking curiously at Murphy.

Walking through these nests, Murphy finally saw the place where the merman carrying her was going to take her, a palace made of white coral stone. Walking through the gate, he heard the sound of beautiful music coming from the main hall, and Mo couldn't help but be intrigued.

A group of sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls in the hall danced in the elegant and moving music, they all looked good, the waist was slender, the leading girl flicked the water sleeves, the dance posture was graceful, suddenly from the long sleeves flew out of pieces of colorful petals, flying all over the sky, floating all over the hall, Mo Fei couldn't help but marvel at the girl's superb dancing skills, at the end of the song, the girls retreated lightly from the hall, Mo Fei saw a young man sitting in the hall.

The merman who carried her walked to the center of the hall, lowered Mo Fei from his shoulders, untied the seaweed tied to her, bowed to the man, and retreated, leaving her alone in the hall.

"What's your name?" The young man looked at Mo Fei, his face was more delicate than the other mermaids, except that he was dressed in clothes, smooth like grosgrain, and a purple cloak with lotus flowers tattooed on it.

"My name is Murphy." Sensing that the man in the hall had no ill will, Mo Fei raised his head to look at him.

"Why be alone at the beach?" His gaze fell on Murphy's face, and before he could speak, suddenly a pale girl walked up to her, looking at her with wide eyes.

"Do you know how to dance?" The girl crouched down, looking her own age, but her body was so thin that it looked like it was about to be blown away by the wind.

"No, it won't." Murphy was confused by the sudden question, and she shook her head honestly.

"It's a shame that you look so good, but you'll learn it slowly." The girl comforted Murphy, then turned her head and walked slowly towards the man in the main hall.

"Brother, give her to me, I like her, ahem." The girl sat beside the man, coughing lightly, her cheeks flushed with an abnormal flush, she took the man's arm in both hands, and rested her head on his shoulder, looking like a bird.

"Qingyu, I said it, you have to rest more, the doctor told you not to get out of bed and walk around for the past two days, but you didn't listen." The man's words were blaming, and his eyes looked at the girl beside him dotingly.

"I want to see them dance, and they dance so well, if only I could do too." The girl had a look of envy on her face, and she coughed violently, her shoulders shaking terribly.

"Yes, when you drink the medicine and get better, you can dance like them." The man had an unbearable expression on his face, reassuring the girl, who nodded happily after hearing this.

Looking at the touching picture of brother and sister love in front of her, Mo Fei didn't want to break it, but if she didn't say anything, she was afraid that she would be forgotten, so she coughed hard, which attracted the attention of the people in the palace.

"Wicker Department, Milk Warbler Department, Butterfly Flying Department, Yan Dance Department," the girl remembered Mo Fei at this time, muttering in her mouth, with some hesitation on her face, "Although you can't dance, I think your qualifications are excellent, just enter the Butterfly Flying Department, and wait two years to enter the Yan Dance Department." The girl made up her mind and looked at Murphy with a smile.

"......" felt powerless for this very friendly girl, and she never said that she wanted to dance from beginning to end, but she was arranged to go like this.

"Qingyu, I haven't finished asking yet." The man spoke.

"Brother, these girls have poor backgrounds and want to throw themselves into the sea, so don't touch their sadness, this is not the style that our mermaids should have." The girl whispered, but Murphy heard it, and it seemed that she didn't know much about her brother's actions.

"Don't worry, I'll ask someone to settle you, since you've come to the Shark Clan, you're our friend." The girl nodded to Mo Fei in a friendly way.

When Murphy was brought to the room by a girl older than her, and saw forty or fifty cardamom girls living in the room, the girls saw that there were new people coming, and all gathered around Murphy, all of them were from the world, and comforted her not to be afraid, and the people here were very kind to them.

"Why don't you run away?" Murphy asked in surprise.

"How to escape, this place is far from the shore, and we must take the water condensation pill every day, otherwise we will not be able to breathe and die, and we will not be able to return to the world alive." A young girl held a white pill in her hand and motioned to Mo Fei, and everyone stopped talking, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

"What's so good about going home, there is food and accommodation here, and Princess Qingyu and Her Royal Highness are very good to us." The silence was broken by the voice of a good-looking girl, and Mo Fei discovered that the girl who spoke was the lead dancer he had seen in the hall today.

"Besides, when you are eighteen years old, you can participate in the concubine selection ceremony of His Highness." After speaking, all the girls laughed and scolded her for not being ashamed, and she wanted to marry His Royal Highness every day.

Seeing that these girls were not frowning because they were trapped here, looking for death and life, Mo Fei felt very incredible, and she didn't know what they were bewitching, so she decided to stay still and observe secretly.

The girl who showed Mo Fei the water condensation pill was named Liancheng, she was sixteen years old this year, she was taken captive three months ago, Liancheng secretly told Mo Fei that the girl who wanted to marry His Royal Highness was called Red Sleeves, she was not like other girls who were arrested, she was thrown into the sea by herself, because the family was poor, her parents wanted to sell her to an old man as a concubine, Red Sleeves committed suicide by throwing herself into the sea without complying, but was saved by the merman, so she desperately wanted to stay here.

Lian Cheng also said that the girls who were caught here were crying and homesick when they first came, and after a long time and having their peers as companions, they gradually didn't want to go home, and Princess Qingyu and His Royal Highness really treated them well.

"What about you, do you want to go home?" Murphy asked.

"My father is an official in the capital, I also have three elder brothers, three months ago my father said that the birthday of the Queen Mother is coming soon, I don't know what gift to give, I heard that there is a precious jade in the Rakshasa Sea City, so I set off here. I came with my father because of my greed for fun, and when I arrived, I went to the beach with the maid to play, but I was captured by the mermaid, and the maid did not know where to go, and my father did not know what to do if he could not find me. Speaking of this, Liancheng choked up a little, not wanting to be discovered by others, she secretly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll take you out." Mo Fei whispered in Liancheng's ear, Liancheng showed a puzzled expression when he heard her say this, this girl is younger than her, how can she have such ability, although she has doubts in her heart, she still sends some expectations to her.

"Have you ever heard of a woman named Ni Dress, who should be in her thirties by now?"

"I have never heard of it, the oldest woman in the dance club is only twenty years old, and women over the age of twenty generally quit the dance club and marry the merman, and the excellent dancers will marry the nobles of the merman clan, while the rest of the dancers will marry the commoners of the merman clan and live in those nests outside the coral palace." Lian Cheng told Mo Fei that if he said in public that he wanted to flee in the future, if he was told to His Highness, he would be locked up.

Soon after, someone sent Mo Fei the Hydro Condensation Pill, and Mo Fei secretly hid it in his sleeve so that she didn't have to eat these things. No wonder the girls didn't want to go home, and Murphy discovered the secret on his first day here.

Most of the girls who were captured by the mermaids were beautiful and choreographed into the dance club, and the mermaids had always loved music and dance, and they admired these women with excellent dancing skills, and they were very preferential in terms of food and accommodation.

Since the women who were born poor in the Coral Palace, they have been like entering a palace on earth, enjoying a life that ordinary people cannot enjoy, and they do not need to do anything but choreograph new dances day after day.

The dance part is fourth-class, which is what Princess Qingyu said, the wicker department, the milk warbler department, the butterfly flight department and the swallow dance department. Girls with superior looks and dancing skills will be arranged into the Yan Dance Club, they will be favored by the nobles of the Shark Clan, marry a noble merman, and after they give up the hope of returning home, they will concentrate on practicing dance and strive to become members of the Yan Dance Club, Liancheng and Red Sleeves are the people of the Yan Dance Club.

For now, Murphy decided to stay in the dance club first and look for a chance to look for Ni Dress, but things didn't go as smoothly as she thought. Mo Fei always felt that Red Sleeves was a little hostile to her, and she somehow, at the moment her attention was focused on finding people, and she didn't want to cause too much attention, so she stayed away when she met Red Sleeves, but there were some people she couldn't hide.
