Leaving Sea God Island

Mu Yu stayed on Sea God Island, and she ended up staying for two whole years.

During this time, her relationships with everyone on Sea God Island rapidly improved. All Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo treated Mu Yu like their own granddaughter, doting on her endlessly and wishing they could pluck the stars and moon from the sky for her.

She also celebrated her fifth birthday (which was counted from the day she arrived at Sea God Island). Everyone on Sea God Island gathered.

In the main hall, everyone offered blessings to Mu Yu, but only Bo Saixi remained silent.

Seeing this, Mu Yu wriggled out of Sea Horse Douluo's embrace and toddled towards Bo Saixi on her short legs.

"Grand Great Enshriner, hug me~" Mu Yu tugged on Bo Saixi's skirt and shook it.

Bo Saixi looked down at the little one and reluctantly held her.

It was only then that Sea Horse Douluo noticed Bo Saixi's unusual expression.

"Grand Great Enshriner, do you have something troubling you? You seem quite down."

At Sea Horse Douluo's words, all the Titled Douluo turned their attention to Bo Saixi.

Bo Saixi shook her head, "It's nothing major. It's just that the Sea God said he would send Little Yu to the mainland after her birthday."

Hearing Bo Saixi's words, Mu Yu was stunned. Was she leaving so soon? She hadn't enjoyed her wonderful life enough yet!

She recalled how she had truly experienced what it meant to be waited on hand and foot during this period.

Even walking involved the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo taking turns carrying her.

Sigh, but going to the mainland for travel must be the will of the God of Space. The God of Space would surely not harm her.

When the Douluo heard that the little one would be leaving tomorrow, they were all instantly dejected. They couldn't bear to see her go. What if she was bullied on the mainland when they weren't there? What if someone with ill intentions kidnapped their Little Yu?

Mu Yu also saw through their thoughts. She nestled into Bo Saixi's embrace and said softly, "Little Yu is very capable! No one will bully Little Yu~ Little Yu will also come back to visit Grandpa and Grandmas!"

Mu Yu's words moved the Douluo immensely. "That's right, our Little Yu is the most capable!"

"If anyone bullies Little Yu, Little Yu will definitely tell Grandpa when she returns."

"Little Yu, you must come back often!"

Mu Yu nodded, then immediately changed the subject, "Grandpa Sea Ghost! Little Yu wants cake!"

She then pointed at the birthday cake on the table with her chubby little finger, "Yes, Grandpa Sea Ghost, hurry up and cut the cake. Little Yu is hungry."

The atmosphere returned to its initial liveliness, and a few smiles appeared on Bo Saixi's face.

The next day, Bo Saixi, along with the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo, saw Mu Yu off. Each of the Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo gave Mu Yu a gift. The gifts weren't numerous, but they were all precious items. Among them, a necklace caught Mu Yu's attention.

The necklace had a light pink gem that instantly captivated anyone who saw it.

Mu Yu remembered that Sea Wang Douluo had given it to her. She pointed at the gem and asked, "Grandpa Sea Wang, what is this?"

Everyone followed Mu Yu's gaze, and Sea Woman Douluo excitedly said.

"This is a Mermaid's Tear, the tears of a mermaid. It's produced only when mermaids are extremely sad or extremely excited. It's a natural Soul Tool with storage capabilities. If you're in the sea, it can also attract mermaids!"

Sea Woman Douluo became more and more excited as she spoke, "This is a great treasure, Little Yu! You've struck it rich!"

Mu Yu was stunned. Although she hadn't heard of it before, she knew it must be something good. She picked up the necklace, intending to try it on, but Sea Woman Douluo stopped her. "Little Yu, it's not used like this."

Sea Woman Douluo took Mu Yu's hand. "Little Yu, drip a drop of blood on it."

Seeing Mu Yu's bewildered eyes, she sighed helplessly. She condensed her Soul Power into a tiny needle, pricked Mu Yu's finger, and squeezed a drop of blood onto the gem.

The other Titled Douluo did not hinder Sea Woman Douluo, merely watching from the side. They didn't quite understand this item either. Sea Woman Douluo, however, was different. She was of mermaid lineage, and there was a basic trust in her kin.

Sea Woman would definitely not do anything harmful to Mu Yu.

The moment the blood landed on the gem, a strong light pink glow erupted. The powerful Soul Power fluctuations startled the Titled Douluo. Sea Dragon Douluo was the first to react and rushed towards Mu Yu, but Sea Woman Douluo stopped him. "Don't go. This is a way for the Mermaid's Tear to protect its owner."

Mu Yu felt a blinding light, and then everything around her transformed into a magnificent palace of blue and pink. As the light subsided, she noticed that everything around her had become an underwater scene. Dreamlike, beautiful corals and fish of various species swam around her. Before she could react, a fluctuation came, and all the fish bowed towards the center of the palace. In the center of the palace was a seat decorated with shells and coral. Lying on it was a person, no, a mermaid. Judging by his features, it was a man. The man gestured for the fish to swim away and looked at the girl before him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"What is your name?" the mermaid asked.

Mu Yu felt a powerful pressure emanating from him and frowned slightly. "Mu Yu."

"Mu Yu..." the mermaid mused, then looked up at the girl before him. Mu Yu felt the oppressive aura around her lessen considerably.

"Hmph, what an interesting little girl." Mu Yu was slightly taken aback by the mermaid's words. Interesting? What was interesting? She thought this big fish was quite interesting herself. Wait...

Recalling Sea Woman Douluo's abilities, Mu Yu had an idea. He could also read minds... Did that mean he heard her complaining about him just now...

Feeling a little guilty, she met the mermaid's gaze again.

"Hmph, you're quite clever to guess my ability, but I heard everything you said about me (ꐦÒ‸Ó)"

Mu Yu felt a bit embarrassed but retorted, "Who are you? You brought me to this place, and I don't even know who you are, so of course I was scared... Complaining about you a little..."

The mermaid looked at the guilty girl and smiled with amusement.

"I am the leader of the mermaid tribe, named Xi Ruo. And you were brought here because of your contract with me."

"Contract? What contract?" Mu Yu was utterly confused.

"Didn't you just drip your blood onto the Mermaid's Tear? That's how a contract is formed."

Mu Yu was somewhat shocked. "So..."

"If I were an ordinary mermaid, we could have formed a contract just by sensing each other and mutually acknowledging it. Unfortunately, I am the Mermaid King, and I certainly wouldn't listen to a human. However..."

The Mermaid King's tone shifted, and he looked at Mu Yu with amusement. "We can cooperate."

"Cooperate?"

"That's right. You help me fulfill a wish of mine, and I promise to protect you in times of danger. What do you say?"

It seemed like she was getting the better deal, so Mu Yu quickly nodded. "Okay, okay, okay, I agree."

Seeing the little girl's serious expression, the Mermaid King found it amusing.

"You agreed without even hearing what I want you to do. Aren't you afraid I'll take your life?"

Mu Yu pondered for a moment. "What do you want me to help you with?"

This child is too naive. "Never mind. You're still a child, what can you help me with? How about we discuss what I need when you're older? I'm in a hurry. If you need me, summon me with the necklace. It works like a normal Soul Tool normally. Bye~"

As he left, the Mermaid King gave Mu Yu a wink.

Mu Yu: ...Thanks a lot.

Emerging from the sea of consciousness, Mu Yu saw seven Titled Douluo surrounding her.

"Xiao Yu, how are you feeling?" Bo Saixi asked with concern.

"I'm fine, Great Enshrined Elder. I'm very well." Hearing Mu Yu's words, the Titled Douluo finally relaxed. Amidst their (nagging) instructions, Mu Yu stored everything into the Mermaid's Tear.

"Xiao Yu, when you reach the continent, you must take good care of yourself, you must..."

"Okay, okay, okay, Grandpa, I know. You don't need to say it anymore."

Before they could finish, Mu Yu leaped onto Xiao Bai's back.

"Sister Xiao Bai, hurry up!"

"Roger that!"

"Goodbye, grandpas and grandmas!"

Watching Mu Yu's receding figure, the seven Titled Douluo and Bo Saixi fell silent. Sea Dragon Douluo was the first to speak.

"Sigh... this child, really." Sea Horse Douluo chimed in.

"Yeah, I wonder when we'll see her again..."
