Jiang Lu stared fixedly at the figure before her, only half her height, her mind failing to catch up for a moment. This was the territory of the Soaring Heaven Sacred Land, wasn't it?
Then what was this chubby little mermaid blowing bubbles in front of her, with a pale blue tail!?
Rumor had it that Merfolk rarely ventured out alone, always traveling in groups, yet a Mermaid Youngling had appeared before her all by herself.
She backed away a little, unable to help swallowing.
Seeing Jiang Lu retreat, the little mermaid immediately swam toward her, closing the distance between them again.
The next instant, Jiang Lu turned and fled. Cangchen wanted to protect her, but Jiang Lu gently stroked its tail to soothe it.
She still didn't know whether there were other Merfolk nearby. She couldn't act rashly.
Escaping an encirclement by the Mermaid Community would be far from easy.
The little mermaid pursued her relentlessly, soon swimming ahead of Jiang Lu and blocking her path.
You've got to be kidding~
Jiang Lu was briefly dumbfounded. Even this juvenile Little Mermaid could swim so fast. If an adult Merfolk came here, what chance would she have of escaping? With that thought, she turned and fled again.
The human and a Merfolk darted back and forth like this until, finally, Jiang Lu grew tired.
She surfaced and braced her hands on a floating board, panting softly. Looking slightly exhausted, she gazed at the wide-eyed Little Mermaid before her. After chasing her for so long without attacking, the Merfolk had probably taken her for a toy.
"Why are you chasing me?" she asked softly.
"Human, you can talk!" At her words, the little mermaid leaped joyfully out of the sea. The spray kicked up by her tail splashed Jiang Lu's face.
