The Kraken looked at Uchiha Hiko in astonishment. This man had planted the emotion of fear deep within its heart, yet in the end, not only had he spared its life, he was even going to help it resolve the trouble that had plagued it for more than two years?
Unfortunately, it could not read any response from Hiko's face. After saying those two sentences to the Kraken, Hiko had already returned to the bow, calmly watching the fishmen gathered in the bay to watch them.
To the fishmen, having the Kraken as a pet to pull a ship through the undersea world was incredibly impressive. More importantly, the young man standing at the bow was so handsome and striking that even mermaids renowned throughout the world for their beauty seemed faintly outshone by comparison.
Quite a few mermaids began paying Hiko frequent attention. Some bolder ones were already casting flirtatious glances and whistling teasingly at him.
The fear in the Kraken's heart eased somewhat, but it still did not dare take any retaliatory action against Hiko. It gently lowered the ship into the harbor bay, then turned and withdrew beyond Fishman Island's bubble barrier. It would not go too far—it still wanted to see whether what this young man had said was true.
"Wow! That human is so handsome!"
"Yeah, yeah! There are very few humans as handsome as him!"
"Hey! Handsome guy! Look over here! Over here!"
The mermaids were dressed very revealingly. Their lower bodies were basically fish tails, while their upper bodies were quite fiery. Anyone with a stronger lustful streak would practically be unable to control themselves upon arriving here. Most mermaids had their smooth skin exposed above the waist. Aside from a few ornaments or shells covering their breasts, the rest was completely bare.
