Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Descendants of the Mermaid Clan

After the jade cicada confirmed the identity of the mysterious person, she saw that it was getting late, so she had to return to the song and dance division in the Amber Dragon Palace first.

"In the past, when the young master was here, you relied on his favor to do whatever you wanted, but now the young master has gone to the royal city to assist the demon king fox, not only do you not know how to restrain yourself, but you are becoming more and more casual!" The male mermaid chief, who was called the fin, reprimanded in a singing tone.

Seeing that she had not practiced in the singing and dancing division all day, and had only returned from outside in the evening, and that she was still disheveled, the fin manager was very displeased, and her words were tingling.

After Qianqi left Dongyao, the chief of the song and dance division, who was very polite to her in the past, was no longer as kind as before. Jade Cicada has always understood the servile faces of other mermaids, so it is not surprising that he reacted at this moment.

She was afraid that retorting at this moment would invite him to ask where she was today, so she thought that she would endure the calm for a while, so she didn't speak, but smiled apologetically at him.

"Yo he, it's rare, what's wrong with having a sex change!" Fin was obviously a little surprised by the jade cicada's reaction today, but then he immediately preached, "That's right! As a mermaid, you must understand your own identity. We are the most inferior minions in this demon world, honestly serve the master, do our duty, don't think that if you get the favor of the master for a while, you are worthy of sitting with them! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Fins, that's what you say! It's indeed a jade cicada, I'm young and ignorant, so don't you remember the villain! The jade cicada nodded and agreed.

"One day, when you recklessly touch the master's bottom line, your good days will come to an end. Well, that's all for today, go and go! ”

Fin Da talked about his slave theory, and seeing that Jade Cicada didn't refute him as much as before, he didn't find it interesting, so he sent her away.

Jade Cicada knew in her heart that it would be difficult to escape the training the next day, so the only way to find clues and find out the news was to take advantage of the night. It is not easy to escape from the Amber Dragon Palace at night, although the first floor where the Song and Dance Division is located is at the bottom of the lake, and the courtyard is blocked by demon water, but there are always guards patrolling the courtyard in the evening. The only way she thought about it was to sneak out while the patrolling soldiers were handing over at night.

Every day, the two groups of soldiers patrolling day and night will alternate, and Jade Cicada must seize this opportunity if she wants to escape from the palace. She hid in advance in a rockery in the courtyard, which happened to be not far from the lake, and the small holes in the rockery made it easy for her to observe the movements of the soldiers outside.

All this was an adventure for her, and if she was caught by the soldiers, she would not be able to escape the blame, and with the resentment of the chief of the song and dance division and the others against her, she felt that no one would speak for her.

Her heart was filled with fear, but she couldn't stop her decision. She couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, since she was a child, what she hated most was the lowliness in the bones of the mermaid family, and at this moment, she is like a moth to a fire, what is the reckless payment for? !

She doesn't understand, this is love.

Outside the rockery, as soon as the gong sounded, it was the time of day, and the two teams of soldiers patrolling day and night also began to line up in the courtyard and prepare for the handover. The jade cicada seized the opportunity, formed from behind the rockery, and plunged into the dark and cold lake. It wasn't until she swam a long distance that she dared to pull the night light out of her chest.

Resisting the icy cold of the lake at night, she kept swimming towards the thief coral house where she saw the black shadow flashing during the day, and there was a strange sound in her ears that was not there during the day, like the resonance that you would hear when you put your ear close to a conch, and this sound made the already desolate bottom of the lake even more eerie.

She searched for a long time until she finally found the location of the thief's coral hut, and went through the door. The big mirror in her memory was still there, and she went around the back of the mirror but couldn't find the place where the bubbles were bubbling before, so she knocked it with her hand in the general direction, but there was no response. Could it be that her childhood memories are wrong? That strange cave at the bottom of the lake was just a product of her imagination?

For a while, these questions came to her mind, which made her a little flustered. But after thinking about it, it was no accident that the mysterious man appeared here, and the entrance to the cave that once existed here was most likely manipulated by someone, and to determine whether her idea was correct, she had to start with the mysterious person, so she decided to go to the South Sea Hotel where he was staying to find out.

Night, South Sea Inn.

In the grand suite, a mermaid man kneels on one knee in front of a chair. On the seat, Yaksha was polishing her nails with a poke.

"Master, today I have successfully found the maze path to the temple at the bottom of the lake, and the Yuqi Rock is still in it, please rest assured!"

The mermaid man's voice is not as sharp and thin as the other male mermaids, like singing, but slightly hoarse. From the scar on his neck, it can be seen that he has undergone surgery to modify his voice.

He looked very young, about twenty-four or five years old, and was dressed in a navy blue Cantonese embroidered gown with delicate embroidery on the cuffs and neckline. Although he tried his best to do superficial work to make himself look noble, he couldn't get rid of the groveling minion face after all.

"Well done! It's not in vain that Lord Qingyun has taken care of you! Yaksha grinned, revealing yellow fangs.

"When the little one was sold to a foreign land with his parents, and later separated from his parents, if he didn't get the help of Lord Qingyun, how could he have today, Lord Qingyun's kindness, the little one will never forget!"

The mermaid couldn't help but recall the tragic childhood of his displacement, and his heart was more than melancholy. His ancestors were originally the witches of the mermaid clan for generations, and he was deeply respected by all walks of life in the clan because he was rumored to have the ability to communicate with the ancestor of the mermaid clan.

As soon as the Amber Dragon King came to Dongyao, he not only moved the inhabitants to the shore, but also abolished the worship of the mermaid ancestor. The family lost not only their status, but also their livelihood, and gradually declined, until his father's generation was reduced to slavery, and eventually sold to other countries along with him and his mother.

Although he has lost his identity as a sorcerer, he still heard about the temple at the bottom of the lake from his father when he was a child. The so-called temple at the bottom of the lake is actually a huge cave, and in that cave is dedicated to the fish-perched rock that was transformed after the death of the mermaid ancestor. Before he parted from his parents, his father had given him an ancestral belt when he was a teenager, which looked very ordinary on the outside, but on the inside it was embroidered with the exact location of the mysterious path leading to the temple at the bottom of the lake.

When he was a teenager and was being sold in the slave market, he met the Yaksha sent by Qingyun to find the witch descendants of the mermaid clan, and when he saw the belt in his hand, he immediately bought him at a high price and brought him back to Qingyun. Since then, Lu Yin has used the mermaid slave trade as a cover, waiting for the opportunity to help Qingyun's strange array.

He showed no pity for the other merfolk who had lost their position as witch and had reversed their attitude towards his family. The mermaid is born lowly, but it tends to be more inflammatory, which really makes the heron groan.

He endured the excruciating pain and altered his voice to distinguish him from the others. At a young age, when he bought and sold the same kind of goods as items, he didn't even blink his eyes. I never ask the background of the buyer, as long as I am willing to pay a high price, I will make a deal. After a long time, he won the title of a cold-faced wolf king among mermaids.

This time, he finally waited for Dongyao to assist in the mission of the Yaksha array, which was a heaven-given opportunity for revenge. Although he didn't know what Qingyun was going to do with this strange array, he heard that if the array was successful, it would definitely become a great change that would subvert the entire demon world, not to mention the Amber Dragon King, even the current demon world lord Demon King Fox would be destroyed by Qingyun.

Today, according to the road map embroidered on the belt left to him by his father, he really found the path to the temple at the bottom of the lake, and he couldn't help but be extremely excited, because he was one step closer to his revenge plan. After reporting the situation to the Yaksha, he planned to take his younger brother out for a while.

Yaksha stays in the hotel because it is inconvenient for him to show up, and Norge is very happy about this, he has always been extremely afraid of Yaksha. I remember that when he was still a teenager, he was bought back by Yaksha, and when he saw his appearance, he lost half his life in fright, and after experiencing the ferocity and viciousness of Yaksha over the years, this fear has increased unabated.

There is a restaurant connected to the Nanhai Hotel, which is also opened by the owner of this catfish essence. In the restaurant, there are performances every night, singing and dancing, musical instruments and even juggling, and guests sit around the square empty space in the middle, eating and drinking while enjoying the performance, which is very pleasant.

Lu Yin spent almost every night after arriving in Dongyao, and every time he drank and got up, he would take a few mermaid chicks back to the hotel to play.

As soon as he got out of the hotel room, he immediately took his younger brother straight to the restaurant as if he had changed people. Before the performance started, the restaurant was already full, if it weren't for the catfish boss who knew Lu Yin's preferences and had already reserved a place for him, then he would have to go home.

As soon as he sat down in his seat, the mermaid Xiao Er served him snacks and wine in preparation for waiting before serving.

There was nothing new in the instrumental performance that came up, and he was still playing those old tunes, and he could memorize them backwards. Some of the guests below closed their eyes and nodded pretending to be Bole, and some were already kowtowing with their eyes closed, drowsy.

When they finally finished their performance, they received only some reluctant applause, and the merfolk children, who were in charge of collecting tips, took off their hats and walked around with their caps facing the sky, and only a few guests symbolically gave some impure silver.

The next turn is the juggling performance, breaking the boulder on the chest of the demon world is not a novelty, and the demon who really has hard qigong is good at performing is breaking the steel plate with his bare hands. An inch-thick steel plate was broken at first, and then every time a guest wanted to see him thicken, he had to give him some silver. It is said that he used to be the dominant youkai in the past, but his tusks were bitten off in a duel with the leopard demon Wind and Fire, and since then he has been able to make a living by juggling around.

Today's performance is a novice who breaks the steel plate with his bare hands, this little monster with a beautiful face has nothing to do if he only adds four or five steel plates, and almost injured himself, looking at his embarrassed appearance, he stumbled back in a boo, which really made the heron cry and laugh.

Then there is a red-haired red banshee's dart performance, her darts are lightning fast, and each dart is able to hit the pre-drawn point on the target without a single difference, and then she is simply blindfolded, which is still very accurate. Although this performance is old-fashioned, it is still much more exciting than the two just now, and most of the guests who have fallen asleep have come to their senses and rewarded her with a lot of silver for the beauty of the red-haired banshee.
