Chapter 162: Fish

s. How many stars does SoftSoft mainly buy""I'm calculating how many points I currently have, and I'm not being stingy. You never know when they might come in handy again," he said, "Three should do i...Along the way, we passed schools of fish, steep rock formations, and bottomless abysses.

Finally, I arrived at a town enveloped by a giant bubble, shimmering with colorful lights.

"Here is the merfolk kingdom, isn't it beautiful!"

The little fish dragged Ruann Soft behind a large rock nearby, watching the town below and saying...

Her eyes were filled with longing, she hadn't been back here in a long time.

Ruan Ran looked down at the town and then back at the fish, then spoke.

"It's beautiful, are we going here"

The fish smiled bitterly, shook its head, and then said.

"No, we're going to a small village behind this town."

The little fish quickly put away her emotions, squeezed out a smile at Ruan Soft, and then continued speaking.

"Don't worry, we'll be there soon."

Ruann softened was puzzled, why would the fish make this kind of expression

"You, can't you enter the Merfolk Kingdom"

Ruan asked tentatively.

The fish didn't hide anything, nodding in agreement.

As they walked towards the village she had mentioned, he kept talking.

"I am actually the youngest daughter of the mermaid queen. My father is her fourth husband and the only koi fish left in this world."

My birth can be said to include almost everyone's expectations.

They hoped that I could be a mermaid with the special abilities of a koi fish.

But when I was truly born, they were deeply disappointed. My form was not that of a mermaid, but that of a koi fish.

But none of that matters. The point is, before I was fourteen, I wasn't able to inherit my father's abilities.

In the annals of marine history, if a koi carp fails to inherit its function before the age of fourteen, it is said that it will never do so afterward.

"So I was abandoned. My father, unable to withstand the pressure from everyone, had no choice but to give me up."

When I was fourteen, I was banished from the Mermaid Kingdom and sent to a poor village beneath it.

And I was also ordered that I could never appear in the mermaid kingdom again.

The fish spoke of its past in the most matter-of-fact way, as if it had already let go.

"But you look like a mermaid right now!"

"Ruan Ruan asked with some puzzlement, "With such a beautiful tail and such an obvious mermaid form, how can you not see it as anything other than a koi"

"Yes, I am now in the form of a mermaid."

To be precise, before I turned eighteen, I was a koi fish.

At the cusp of adulthood, I suddenly developed a high fever and fell into a coma.

"In my dream, I made a choice between the forms of a mermaid and a koi fish. I chose the mermaid."

After I woke up, I had truly transformed from a koi fish into a mermaid.

And he was also lucky enough to awaken the carp's attribute.

"From then on, I became incredibly lucky and could do everything perfectly."

The fish spoke, turning towards Ruan Soft behind it, a bright smile on its face. Its wine-red curls rippled in the water.

"As for the skill of appraisal, I discovered it only after leading the villagers to prosperity."

"Okay, we're here. Let's go in."

Having finished speaking, the fish waved its hand, opening up a barrier that allowed two people to walk through side-by-side.

Welcome to my Emerald City!

Following the fish with a hint of pride, Ruǎn softly followed him in.

What catches the eye is a scene of splendor, even more opulent than the Mermaid Kingdom seen before.

But you clearly just saw something different outside!

"This, just now, what I just saw, were all small houses, with hardly any people around!"

"How come it's different now that you're here"

Ruan softly felt that it was magical. This world was very different from the other worlds she had visited before.

It is mysterious and hard to fathom.

"That's because I cast an illusion on the barrier outside, to hide the prosperity of my town."

"Now the Merfolk Kingdom is ruled by my second brother, who is particularly jealous."

"He was already upset with me before, and if he found out now, there would be no peace for me."

The little fish frowned when she talked about her second brother. She had never liked him very much anyway.

Everything seems to be working against me, even this idea of being sent to this village.

All of it comes from the whispers he and his father have been putting in the Queen's ear.

Moreover, as far as she knew, during her second brother's time in power, the other party only cared about their extravagant pleasures.

He has not done a single thing for the common people. The people of the Mermaid tribe are living in utter misery.

But due to the royal family's control over all military power, he dared not show anger or speak out. He could only silently endure.

If it weren't for her silently providing relief out of compassion, the Merfolk Kingdom would have fallen apart long ago.

Then you don't want to return to the mermaid kingdom again

Ruan softened a bit and asked curiously, "If it were me, I would definitely try my best to go back."

"Thinking about it, of course I do. It's been many years since I last saw my father, and I don't know how he's doing."

But I cannot return just yet, for when I was sent to this village, the Queen placed a taboo upon me.

"As soon as I enter the mermaid kingdom, an alarm will be sounded, and my father will then be punished."

"So as long as I haven't broken this taboo, I won't go back to the Mermaid Kingdom."

I will never forget the sight of my father spitting blood because of my reckless intrusion.

He never imagined that in this world, there would be such cruel taboos.

It's like grabbing hold of a fish's soft underbelly.

Two people walked into the busiest street. Ruanruan watched Yu'er, who was walking slightly ahead, greet the people around her enthusiastically and wave at them. Suddenly, she felt that Yu'er was doing well like this now.

"Okay! Let's not talk about such depressing things. This is something I built with my own hands, you can walk around here however you like! Don't be so polite to me!"

The little fish was afraid. It had never been here before and felt strange and uncomfortable, so it stammered nervously.

Ruan nodded softly and smiled.

Then I won't be polite to you, Fish Spirit City Lord!

The fish, hearing Ruan Soft's fresh and unfamiliar address, brightened its eyes.

"I like that nickname!" she said playfully.

After wandering for a little while longer, they stopped in front of a giant seashell.

Only seeing the fish wave its hand, the shell opened, revealing a staircase going down.

The little fish swam down with them, and inside there was a treasure trove of jewels of every description.

Things were haphazardly piled together, leaving only a narrow aisle in the middle.

The more she looked, the more terrified she became. This was unlike anything she had ever seen before—so extravagant and dazzling.ed for through the company became popular."Then the company took advantage of the situation and released a lot of contrasting musical styles from the past, all showing similarities to Ye Ning's.The mo...
