The merfolk slowly lifted her head.

Her eyes were indeed very beautiful, like a sea bathed in moonlight, with pearls of tears adorning the corners—a feeling of inexplicable coldness and fragmentation.

Even if her appearance was slightly youthful.

She could indeed be described as breathtakingly beautiful—though still far from Li Ye.

But strangely, she always had a sense of heroism.

Not simply a woman.

"..."

The little merfolk became momentarily dazed.

All things tend to choose human form after gaining spirituality, because the Human Race is inherently closer to the Celestial Dao, not to mention someone like Li Ye with Celestial Being features.

Celestial Being features, favored by the Celestial Dao, with the brilliance of Qi Fortune and Merit shining brightly—even Wangshu, the God of the merfolk race, left an imprint on Li Ye.

This made it hard for the little merfolk to express herself; she stared blankly at Li Ye, suddenly feeling guilty for her uninvited stay in his Cave Mansion for so long.

It truly felt like a grave sin.

What made it hard to broach was... she wasn't herself, how could she be so captivated?

"You certainly are gravely sinful."

This place is indeed Li Ye's Cave Mansion, and as a Celestial Being, he naturally possesses some Divine Techniques of reading hearts, coupled with the power of the Emotion Song, Li Ye instantly saw through the little merfolk's thoughts.

Li Ye waved his hand.

Countless Spiritual Qi gathered instantly.

The mighty strength from the mid-period of the Golden Core drove the forces within the Cave Mansion, like numerous sharp swords aimed at the little merfolk.

"Speak."

"If you don't satisfy me, I'll have no choice but to rid myself of this unwanted guest."

"Even if you are an important figure among the Merfolk Race, so what? Who dares to question me?"

He sat on the chair brought by the Spiritual Mechanism Vine, leaned back slightly, and stared at the little merfolk intently.

This immense pressure made the little merfolk stand straight.

—Like a person standing on tiptoe, she stood on the tip of her tail, straightening up.

She bowed deeply:

"I apologize to you."

"But I was indeed carried here within the Sinking Sea Shell, not intentionally concealing."

As she spoke, the surrounding seawater formed a rippling Water Mirror—in it was an ordinary-looking Sinking Sea Shell, but in a crack of the shell, there lay a drop of 'pearl tear.'

In the Mermaid Pearl formed from merfolk tears, there curled a little merfolk, trapped by the Power of Space, unable to contact the outside world.

Later, the Sinking Sea Shell was bound by Li Ye and the Void Nether Grass, and the Power of Space awakened the little merfolk in the Mermaid Pearl; she escaped to the coral thicket of the Green Sea Spirit Reef, using her own blood to nourish the coral, making it grow rapidly, and hid inside.

Following that, she continuously used special methods of the Merfolk Race to teach the Green Sea Spirit Coral Worm some things, thus constructing this breathable space.

—These are memories.

They are certainly not fake.

After displaying her memories, the little merfolk pointed to the curse mark on her forehead and said, "I feel... you can dispel the curse."

"If you can help me, I'm willing to hand over all my clan's treasure to you!"

"No..."

"I'll hand it to you right now!"

She was clever for once, directly lifting the shell that opens the Grotto Heaven to Li Ye's face with seawater.

She had no bargain power left with Li Ye.

All she could do was hope for Li Ye's mercy—because she, after coming here, chose to hide instead of showing herself immediately, leaving herself no retreat.

"Haha."

Li Ye glanced at the shell, casually tossing it to the Spiritual Mechanism Vine.

The latter immediately began analyzing the object.

Soon, it spoke puzzledly, "Master, the spatial waves inside this shell are indeed in the East Pole Yang Sea.

According to our Four Seasons Sect's nautical chart.

It should be located at a tribe once destroyed by a tsunami, named Carp Creek, supposedly one of Wangshu's eight priest tribes."

After Li Ye advanced to the mid-period of the Golden Core and became a member of the Spiritual Fertility Hall, he obtained more permissions, able to browse information freely barring some special matters.

Soon, the specific situation of the Carp Creek tribe was thoroughly searched, including portraits of important figures, all delivered by the Spiritual Mechanism Vine to Li Ye.

Among them was the portrait of this little merfolk.

Just this portrait.

"Uh..."

Upon seeing the records beside the portrait, Li Ye felt puzzled.

—The chief priest of the Carp Creek tribe was impregnated through Wangshu Moon God's power, gave birth to a son.

A son.

Though there are certainly Magic Divine Techniques to convert Yin Yang, they can generally be seen through, after all, Li Ye himself is of Celestial Being features and a Golden Core True Man, failing to distinguish gender.

Would be too laughable.

He looked at the records above and then at the little merfolk, clearly female, and simply asked directly, "Why is this?"

"A Celestial Being cast a Divine Technique for me," the little merfolk sighed slightly.

Ah?

This was indeed unexpected by Li Ye.

Celestial Beings can cast such Yin Yang conversion Divine Techniques?

He was instantly intrigued.

And the little merfolk wasn't foolish either, promptly continued:

"In our Merfolk Race, those with pure bloodlines at certain times will be cursed by Wangshu Moon God's Moon Soul Horror Curse."

"I too showed such signs back then."

"So my mother pleaded with a Celestial Being expert from the Four Seasons Sect to cast a Magic to reverse Yin Yang for me, from male to female, wherein the inversion of Yin Yang barely suppressed the Moon Soul Horror Curse."
