The palace echoed with a gentle, melodious song as soft as wind chimes.
It was like a cool breeze on a silent summer night, or a whisper drifting by the ear, ethereal and elusive.
At times, it carried a hint of seduction that made one's heart itch.
At times, it was tinged with cool clarity, leaving one refreshed and invigorated.
At times, it became soothing, making the entire body relax.
At times, it rose into high spirits, stirring the mind...
Even the weather and surroundings of the palace in early spring seemed faintly affected by the song.
The attendants and workers who had yet to leave leaned against the palace walls, completely entranced.
The adorable birds and beasts Skadi kept in the palace floated in midair, seemingly wandering through a dream.
Even the flowers, grass, and trees swayed without wind to the melody of the song, as though they had come alive.
And all of this came from the mermaid singing within that ball of water in the air.
Huang Yu had already completed the First Embrace ritual on the mermaid.
The mermaid, having just completed her bloodline transformation, had eagerly offered Huang Yu her singing voice the moment she emerged from her shell.
Although the mermaid had grown stronger after her bloodline transformation, she had yet to ascend to the transcendent level and could not affect Huang Yu.
After enjoying the mermaid's performance for a while, Huang Yu brought up her status panel to examine her detailed information.
