After leaving the mermaid courtyard, Xiao Tianyang's mood became somewhat complicated.
Zi Nu asked softly from beside him, "Sir, were you moved?"
Xiao Tianyang took a deep breath and said, "Not exactly moved, just a little surprised."
"After all, their lives have been rather rough."
"Yet in the end, their intelligence has improved to such a degree that it's hard for me not to be surprised."
He turned to look at her and asked, "What do you think?"
After pondering for a moment, Zi Nu said, "Compared with before, the Merman Clan's current state is nothing short of a miracle."
"However, when one recalls their past, this achievement truly did not come easily."
Xiao Tianyang nodded slightly. After walking forward a few steps, he said, "When did Granny Hua say they would reach the harbor?"
"In three hours."
Zi Nu asked, "Are we heading straight to the docks now?"
"No, let's find somewhere to look around first."
Xiao Tianyang waved his hand. "I'm not foolish enough to wait there for three hours."
Naturally, Zi Nu had no objections.
Of course, she also reminded Xiao Tianyang to meet up with the Grand Commander first.
After all, Granny Hua had already contacted Tiger, and he was currently making his way toward the Water Capital.

Then, the three of them began strolling through the Water Capital's commercial streets.
However, their main purpose was not shopping, but searching for good food.
