After discussing the general details with Yu Yongnan, Chu Han immediately prepared to leave, only to be stopped by Yu Rounü before he could go.
"I say, Merfolk Saintess, first you stopped me from coming in, and now you're stopping me from leaving. Are you deliberately going against me?" Chu Han spoke quite casually to the Saintess whom everyone in this place revered.

"Fine, fine!
