Xiaoou’s Help

“Alright, if I can go back, I’ll find An Lie and An Cheng and pass on your message.”

Su Xiaolu agreed.

After An Xiaoou became a member of the fish people, she would probably never be able to go ashore again. The probability of her meeting An Lie and An Cheng was almost zero.

If they hadn’t had a plan to catch the big Kun, they probably wouldn’t have come to this place for the rest of their lives.

If they didn’t come, they wouldn’t have met An Xiaoou and wouldn’t have known that she was still alive.

Everything was predestined.

“Alright, I’ll go back first. I’ll communicate with them soon.”

An Xiaoou smiled at Su Xiaolu. Su Xiaolu had once helped their family a lot. Now that she had a chance to repay her, An Xiaoou was very happy. Knowing that her brother and uncle were fine, she had nothing to worry about.

An Xiaoou told them and left gently.

After meeting An Xiaoou, everyone felt much more at ease. This was the contact between civilizations of two worlds. The language barrier was the biggest problem. People from both worlds would have to interact with each other in the future. They just didn’t know what would happen in the future.

What kind of personalities did these fish people have? If they couldn’t come to an agreement, it wouldn’t be easy for them to ask for a way out.

An Xiaoou left for a while before Old Wu sighed and said, “I really didn’t expect to see merpeople one day.”

The fish people could have a human upper body and a fish lower body. They were recorded as merpeople in folklore. In many folk books, these were also called merpeople.

However, these were all myths and had long been lost. Who knew if what happened in ancient times was true or not? But now, these things were walking around in front of their eyes. They could not help but sigh.

“That’s right. Who would have thought that fish could become human? What about the other animals?”

Jin Wu interrupted and fell silent.

They had not ventured deep into the foreign land. They had already entered the deep hinterland, but in fact, they might be far from it.

With the fish people, were there other races on land? All beasts could have developed intelligence and cultivated into humans. Just thinking about it made them afraid. Their world no longer had these things.

In the future, when the white fog dissipated, would these races walk out?

They might be murderers, or they might get along peacefully.

“It’s too early to worry about this. We’re completely in the foreign land now, and our bodies seem to be turning around and not used to it. It might be the same if they go to our world. Before these symptoms disappear, the races of the two worlds can’t start a war.”

Gui You said calmly. The two worlds still needed a long time to adapt to the fusion.

This feeling of being upside down was not good. Even breathing felt uncomfortable. The internal energy and superpowers were restricted to a certain extent.

“Master, I have an idea. I don’t know if it will work.”

Su Xiaolu had an idea. She didn’t know if it would work, but she had to give it a try no matter what.

“In the past, our breathing was used to going from top to bottom. Now that our perception has been reversed, I think we can try to go from bottom to top when we circulate our internal breath.”

With that, Su Xiaolu closed her eyes and tried.

This method could work.

It was very slow to circulate her internal breath, but she already felt that the tightness in her chest had disappeared a little. There was a certain level of improvement, but it was impossible to be completely fine. After all, this was a foreign land, the territory of the fish people.

Everyone knew that this method was feasible and silently adjusted their internal breath to improve their condition. After all, no one knew what An Xiaoou would communicate with them in the end.

They all understood that only in the face of absolute power did they have the right to speak.

Zhou Zhi kept circulating his internal breath over and over again. When he felt better, a vine grew out of his palm and reached out to Su Xiaolu. On the vine was a green fruit.

Su Xiaolu looked at him. Zhou Zhi smiled gently. Everyone had their eyes closed. He did not speak and only gestured for Su Xiaolu to eat it.

Su Xiaolu licked her lips. She didn’t want to eat it, but the fruit smelled so good.

She still took two bites. She didn’t eat much. Instead, she winked at Zhou Zhi, indicating that he should eat it himself.

Zhou Zhi shook his head. His lips moved without making a sound, he said, “Xiaolu, eat.”

Su Xiaolu shook her head and moved her lips. She did not make a sound, but she said, “Fourth Brother, eat.”

Zhou Zhi shook his head, and Su Xiaolu refused to eat anymore.

Old Wu opened his eyes and said angrily, “Aren’t you siblings annoying? If you don’t want to eat, bring it over. As an old man, I should at least eat it. Respect the old and love the young.”

Zhou Zhi smiled and silently sent the fruit that Su Xiaolu had bitten into Old Wu’s mouth.

Old Wu glared at Zhou Zhi. With a hint of resentment and anger, he ate the fruit in two bites.

He couldn’t taste it, but he felt much better after eating it. He smacked his lips, snorted, and closed his eyes.

Su Xiaolu smiled sweetly at Zhou Zhi and moved her lips silently. “Thank you, Fourth Brother.”

The vines had already retracted into Zhou Zhi’s body. He closed his eyes and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Although Jin Liu and the others closed their eyes, their pursed lips twitched slightly.

The spiritual fruit formed by Master’s wood mark was really fragrant and pleasant. Everyone was gathered in such a sealed place. Even if they couldn’t see, they could smell it.

They couldn’t laugh. They could only hold it in.

After eating the fruit, Su Xiaolu closed her eyes and continued to regulate her breathing.

The small room was very quiet. Everyone was adjusting their breathing and waiting.

When An Xiaoou returned to her room, she said to the maid who was taking care of her, “Is Hai Ming back? I want to see him.”

An Xiaoou had lived here for dozens of days. The changes in her body made her more and more used to this place. When she spoke to the fish people, her neck would move and she would emit sound waves. When she opened her mouth, she would gurgle.

Her speech function was degenerating, so when she spoke to Su Xiaolu, she spoke slowly. Her tongue was still very agile, but she could no longer speak properly.

The maid nodded and turned to go down. She was in human form, but her exposed skin was covered in a layer of white and thin scales.

...

The fish people and humans only had different characteristics. Their lifestyles were actually similar. They were divided into influential levels. Their system was the same as humans. Humans had emperors, and the fish people also had kings.

Hai Ming’s father was an Elder of the fish people, similar to the Prime Minister of humans. Hai Ming’s status was very high.

When Hai Ming brought her back, she was objected to at first. However, Hai Ming acknowledged her and Hai Ming’s parents accepted her. Hai Ming treated her very well. An Xiaoou vaguely understood that something was different, but she did not dislike it. Thinking of Hai Ming, her lips curled up slightly.

An Xiaoou sat in the room and waited. Not long after, Hai Ming arrived.

The young man was delicate and handsome. After entering, he smiled and said, “Xiaoou, how do you feel today? Something happened in the clan and I wasn’t free today, but when I heard that you were looking for me, I immediately put down my matters and came.”

He saw An Xiaoou as his partner, and to their clan, a partner was the most important.
