Many people in the world have heard of the Siren's Song, but those who have personally heard it are mostly dead.
For the Siren's Song is also a killer's song, the most powerful and mysterious weapon of the mermaids.
Xing Yuan walked barefoot on the ground, her gaze calm. The spiritual energy carried in her song caused all humans who heard it to bleed from their seven orifices and die.
But it wasn't just humans; the surrounding buildings were also collapsing.
By the time Xing Yuan reached the entrance of the research institute, the buildings behind her had crumbled.
Everyone was buried beneath the rubble. Xing Yuan walked through the unfamiliar streets with a calm expression. The saying that those not of our kind will surely have different intentions was not without reason. For instance, Xing Yuan couldn't be bothered to consider if there were any innocent people among them.
She was not a benevolent person, only willing to care for those she wished to protect. As for anything else, if it was convenient, she would do it. If not, who in this world dared to force her?
No, there were still some.
Xing Yuan held her chin, pondering. Speaking of which, where was her wife?
Hmm… Fortunately, she had retained a little information, so it should be in this direction.
Xing Yuan followed her instincts and walked in a certain direction. However, she had only just recovered to the peak of her current body's strength. After walking for only about ten minutes, her body became weak and frail.
Her feet also began to blur, as if she could transform back into her mermaid form at any moment.
Xing Yuan's calm expression could no longer be maintained. If she transformed into a mermaid on the street, even with her inherent defensive capabilities, she couldn't guarantee she wouldn't get into trouble. Therefore, the most urgent thing now was to find a water source and rest for a while.
Xing Yuan observed her surroundings. The sky was slightly dark, and others shouldn't discover her abnormality for a while. Moreover, this place was not far from the scenic area they had been to before. She would go there and stay for a while first!
Rushing as fast as she could, Xing Yuan finally managed to dodge the few people present and dive into the sea just before her last trace of spiritual energy was depleted.
Feeling the familiar scent of the sea, Xing Yuan instantly relaxed. Her twin fishtails swished freely in the water. She felt her eyelids grow heavy. After swimming further in, she peacefully closed her eyes and fell asleep.
When Xing Yuan woke up again, she found her location had changed. She seemed to be in a human swimming pool, and this swimming pool was filled with seawater.
After careful consideration, Xing Yuan figured it out. She had likely been captured by someone again and might be kept as a pet.
But she wasn't tied up. Did this person think she couldn't come ashore?
Xing Yuan let out a disdainful laugh and then transformed her fishtail into legs, intending to walk out. As a result… her head bumped painfully.
A barrier! The words "barrier" flashed in Xing Yuan's mind.
It seemed that the one who had imprisoned her this time was no ordinary person! However, she wasn't afraid.
Although the spiritual energy she possessed in this world was indeed limited, if she fought with all her might, she wouldn't be reduced to mere fish bait.
With this thought, Xing Yuan calmly closed her eyes, her legs transforming back into fishtails. She began to cultivate earnestly, knowing that strength was the ultimate principle.
Although the spiritual energy in this world was only just beginning to recover, it was enough for her at this stage.
She didn't know if the owner of this house had forgotten about her or what, but no one had come to see her. However, as night fell, Xing Yuan keenly sensed a strange aura appearing in this place.
Xing Yuan concentrated and looked. The familiar figure of a young girl startled her, causing her to immediately dart to the other end of the swimming pool.
"What, don't you recognize me?" Ming Yue said with a smile, but her eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Xing Yuan shook her head and then dared not move.
Although it wasn't entirely her doing, she was undeniably guilty.
"Last time, when you took me to that place, weren't you quite powerful? What, are you scared now?"
"Last time, last time was just an imperfect accident," Xing Yuan softly defended herself.
But with just one look from Ming Yue, she instantly became mute again.
So fierce! Cannot provoke.
Xing Yuan's intuition kept warning her.
Ming Yue sighed and casually threw a cloth bag in her hand to Xing Yuan.
"Your dinner," she said.
Xing Yuan was stunned by Ming Yue's strange attitude, and then her courage seemed to grow a little bolder. She slowly swam forward and finally noticed something was off with Ming Yue.
She tentatively asked, "Are you dead now? You don't seem to be corporeal."
"Yes! Dead!" Ming Yue showed no signs of unhappiness, only sighed with a complex expression.
"How did you die? Who harmed you?" Xing Yuan's eyes blazed with anger. Whoever harmed her sister, she would tear them to shreds!
"Just an accident," Ming Yue said faintly, seemingly unwilling to elaborate.
But Xing Yuan, in her haste, had already reached her. She observed her carefully and then shook her head, saying, "It's definitely not an accident! Otherwise, how would you have become a vengeful spirit, and your cultivation would have surpassed mine in such a short time."
Ming Yue was surprised that a mermaid could discern these things. Her expression was somewhat astonished, but she did not answer Xing Yuan's question, merely asking softly, "Why are you back there again? Are you looking for me?"
Since she didn't want to talk about it, Xing Yuan didn't force her. After all, once her strength increased, she would be able to "see" directly. So she nodded and said earnestly, "Yes! And, she wants to see you."
"Who?" Ming Yue was confused. Then, as if realizing something, her eyes widened, and she pointed at Xing Yuan in surprise, "You, you fish, you didn't actually have a baby, did you!"
"Of course! Did you think I was lying to you?" Xing Yuan asked, looking confused.
Ming Yue pursed her lips and remained silent. She had indeed doubted it before, but since she had never interacted with mermaids, she had maintained a half-believing, half-doubting trust in Xing Yuan's words.
But when she learned that she inexplicably had a child, it was indeed difficult to accept.
"Then why did you bring me here?" Now it was Xing Yuan's turn to be confused.
She had been sleeping peacefully in the sea, and her hiding place was quite concealed, yet Ming Yue had found her so easily and brought her back here. It was impossible to believe this was just a coincidence, no matter how you thought about it!
"I, I..." Ming Yue's eyes darted away, but facing the fish's confused expression, she finally admitted frankly, "Actually, I wanted to get revenge on you. After all, you imprisoned me before. Now that I have the ability, it's not unreasonable to avenge my past self, right!"
Xing Yuan blinked her eyes, lost in thought. Then, her sapphire-blue eyes were filled with innocence as she asked, "How long does sister want to imprison me?"
"Hmm… longer than you imprisoned me."
Ming Yue didn't know what was happening to her. She had clearly decided to imprison Xing Yuan for a period to wash away her past humiliation, but when she met those clear eyes, she couldn't utter a single heartless word.
