Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 202 Mermaid Statue

A flash of pink light.

A pink and silver-patterned seashell slowly took shape, a thin and translucent piece with a pale blue tip.

This is.....

Qingqing tilted his head and examined it closely. When he saw the silver wave patterns on the shell, his eyes widened suddenly. "This is the heart-protecting scale of the Yaoshan Spirit Cloud Shark!"

Yaoshan Lingyun Jiao?

Feng Siyue recalled that this name was mentioned in many of the legends she had read last night.

The Yaoshan Lingyun Jiao is a creature born from the ancient sacred mountain Yaoshan. It is a semi-divine beast from birth and serves as the guardian beast of Yaoshan.

Legend has it that the Yaoshan Lingyun Jiao were created by Yao Ji, the lord of Yaoshan, using the divine artifact Jiufang Tianzhuan. They possess angelic appearances and are immortal.

The colors of its eyes, hair, and fishtail were even more captivating than the pink sunset clouds on the horizon.

After the hair and scales of the Yaoshan Lingyun Shark leave its body, they will transform into the object closest to it and have the same effect as the transformed object, but it depends on the ability.

As social, healing-type divine beasts, Jiufang Tianzhuan bestowed upon them the most sacred purifying sounds, divine hymns.

The Divine Ritual Song contains healing divine power that can instantly heal all damage at any stage, restoring the wearer to peak condition.

It is a very mysterious mythical beast.

"Qingqing, you said it's the heart-protecting scale of the Yaoshan Spirit Cloud Shark? Does the Yaoshan Spirit Cloud Shark really exist? I've never heard of it or Yaoshan in the Illusionary Universe Continent."

Qingqing remained silent for a long time, which was uncommon. "Contractor, now that traces of the Spirit Cloud Shark have appeared here, I think there are some things you should know as well."

I never imagined time would fly by so quickly.

"Outside the Illusionary Universe Continent, there exist many worlds similar to the Illusionary Universe Continent. What you have seen is merely a drop in the ocean."

"The Spirit Cloud Shark is a species from a higher world."

"Many years ago, when Yaoshan collapsed, these guardian beasts were swept into the time rift, suffering heavy casualties."

“I didn’t want to tell you these things so soon, but now it seems that your bloodline is destined to be unable to escape its fate.”

Qingqing thought they could take it slow and let Feng Siyue gradually accept the fact that a higher world existed.

But unexpectedly, reality didn't allow them to be slow.

Feng Siyue took a long time to process this. "Qingqing, are they related to Yanxu?"

"The higher world you mentioned, is it the realm of gods?"

At this moment, Feng Siyue still didn't understand Qingqing's words.

"You can understand it that way."

"As an ordinary person, you can sit idly by and do nothing, but you possess the bloodline of Lord Qingmi, and you are destined not to remain in one place."

Feng Siyue asked, "What do you mean?"

"Yao Ji, the guardian of Yao Mountain and the master of the Lingyun Shark Clan, was a powerful figure who protected the Nine Directions of the Void Revolving Heaven. She had a very good relationship with Lord Qing Mi during her lifetime."

"Together with the Lingyun Merfolk, they received that person's protection."

Qingqing's voice was deep, "Now that the Lingyun Shark has ended up here, you must take it home."

"But I don't know where it is now?"

"The power of scale transformation is effective within ten miles of the main body. If it is not within that range, then it is just an ordinary seashell. Now, the hope is that the Spirit Cloud Shark has nothing to do with your trial."

Otherwise, it would be endless trouble for her.

"I see."

The two of them continued forward.

They arrived at the gate of the house closest to the sea.

What made Xuan Li stop was the huge merman statue located a dozen meters from the sea outside the courtyard.

It is about three meters tall.

The carved mermaid has a beautiful face and holds a seashell in her hand. The pearls exposed on the seashell are round and very full.

She gazed towards the sea, her smile gentle, her lips slightly parted as if she were singing.

There are traces of offerings at the base of the statue.

However, due to the monster's rampage, the offering table had been smashed, but the stone statues looked quite intact.

"Why are there stone statues here?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Siyue asked, "A stone statue?"

"Yes, it's a very realistic, complete, and beautiful mermaid statue."

The statue's state of preservation is unusually high amidst the ruins.

The unseen wind, Siyue, didn't think too much about it. "Maybe it's because the people of Yujia Town fish a lot, and they built this stone statue to prevent them from getting lost at sea."

Clearly, Feng Siyue has not yet combined the Yaoshan Lingyun Shark with the stone statue.

In her mind, as a semi-divine beast, the Yaoshan Lingyun Jiao should not have any rivals in such a remote place who could tear off its scales.

Unless, during a war between gods and demons.

But that was over a thousand years ago. If such a demon existed in the town, they would have died long ago.

Moreover, so much time has passed since the war between gods and demons, and the Heart-Protecting Scale is so important, it's impossible for Lingyun Jiao, who is still alive, not to find it.

Therefore, this stone statue is not the Yaoshan Lingyun Jiao.

"Is that right?"

Xuan Li felt something was wrong, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Forget it.

"Alright, we've reached the end. Shall we go back?"

"Let's go back."

Time slowly passed, and night was about to fall.

Xuan Li and the other person wandered around the west side of the town, but after finding no further clues, they returned to the house they had arranged to meet Sun Sheng.

Upon seeing them arrive, Sun Sheng led them to a house at the far north.

The house looks almost like a dilapidated temple from the outside.

At the gate, a woman dressed in green stood there, gazing westward.

Seeing Sun Sheng return, her slight worry subsided. "Senior Brother!"
