Xuanji followed the secret passage for less than a moment when she suddenly realized that there was no way forward, and there was a thick stone wall. Strange. Is the secret passage a dead end? Disturbing the line of sight?

She refused to give up, and felt around on the stone wall until she felt a bump and followed it upwards, but it turned out to be a black iron candlestick. Her master had once said that if one encountered a dead end, one should pay more attention to the things around them and push them with one’s hand, then one might find a new path.

She pushed the candlestick down with force, but it didn’t respond; she pushed it up, but it still didn’t respond.

It turns out that even Master’s words may not be correct. Xuanji leaned back against the wall, and felt that the passage was dark and dreary. She took out the flint from her pocket and lit the candlestick, thankfully, there was still some oil left on it to burn.

However, as soon as the lamp was lit, there was a click from behind, as if something had been opened. Xuanji hurriedly turned back and saw that a crack was opened on the stone wall opposite to her, so it turned out that the mechanism of the candlestick was opened by fire.

There’s no time to lose, she’s afraid that Sifeng and the others will be harmed they are with the demon. As soon as Xuanji entered the fork in the road, there was a sudden light in front of her eyes and her surroundings became bright and clear, it seemed to be a cave. The stalactite dripped with water, there was a spring with clear water, and a faint fluorescent light.

As she heard the sound of water gurgling in front of her, she quickened her pace. There was a boulder in her path, she was so anxious that she didn’t look at her feet, gently jumped over it and landed on the other side.

There was a ‘splash’ sound, and she checked around her. It turned out that there was a large underground spring behind the boulder, the water was so cold that even though Xuanji had the Yang Que Technique to protect her, she was still chilled to the bone.

Suddenly there was a movement in the pond ahead, as if someone was floating up from the bottom of the water. Xuanji thought that the purple fox had noticed her and immediately held her sword and stared ahead on guard, waiting for her to make a move.

The ripples on the surface of the blue water gradually widened and there was only a splashing sound. A snow-white figure leapt up from the water and swayed lightly in the air. The huge tail of the fish was like white gauze, fluttering in the air, before it fell back into the pool with a large splash.

Xuanji was shocked. Is that a person? Or a giant fish?

In the midst of the confusion, she heard the sound of a voice from up ahead, “What are you doing here?”

The voice was a bit hoarse and dry, even difficult to listen to, and the words spoken were a bit slurred, not sounding like a Central Plains accent.

Immediately after, a person suddenly floated on the surface of the water, with long, dark, seaweed-like hair tangled below his waist, pale skin, and extremely pale blue eyes. At this moment, these long, narrow, deep eyes are looking at her tenderly, filled with love and joy.

“Ah! It’s you! You…” Xuanji shouted and pointed at his nose, but couldn’t come up with a suitable name even after a while. It’s him! The pearl incident! The Merman!

Xuanji crawled out of the water, grabbed his cold hand and shouted, “Are you alright? It’s been a long time since I saw you…….you, why are you here? That fox demon…”

The merman smiled slightly, grabbed her hand and said softly, “What about you?”

“I am…” Xuanji was about to tell him what had happened when she suddenly felt something was wrong and raised her finger to his nose and shouted, “You can talk now!”

He still smiled, drops of water falling like pearls from his long lashes. He has a kind of beauty that only a demon can have, a beauty that makes one feel as if one is intoxicated.

“You…” Xuanji suddenly forgot what she was going to say.

“My name is Ting Nu.” He said quietly, “You can call me Ting Nu.”

It turns out that a merman has a name too. She smiled at him and was about to tell him about her past when she suddenly thought of Si Feng and the others who had been kidnapped by the purple fox and sighed, “Ting Nu, I have something urgent to do. I’ll talk to you next time. I’m looking for that fox. She has kidnapped Sixth Brother and Si Feng.”

Ting Nu said, “I know, she’s a demon that picks up yang and replenishes yin.”

Xuanji finally cleared her mind and asked, “How do you know? And why are you here? Did she get you too?”

Ting Nu shook his head, and whispered in that tone of voice, “She is doing a something big and forced me to help her, when I did not agree, she imprisoned me here.”

“What big thing?”

After a moment, Ting Nu said, “Let’s not talk about that yet. You probably bumped into her accidentally, but she’s been in desperate need of a boost in her power lately, and she won’t give up when she meets an Immortal. If you don’t go and save them now, it will be too late.”

Xuanji became anxious and turned around to continue searching, but he gently held her down and whispered, “You… don’t remember anything?

Remember what? She looked at him with a foggy look on her face.

Ting Nu looked at her quietly. The same look as before, as if they had met a long, long time ago, and after countless years, they met again here.

“With your ability, I’m not sure how you’d be able to get by her…” Ting Nu sighed quietly, holding her hand tightly, “Don’t rush. Close your eyes and concentrate and you will find her.”

“I’m not…” Xuanji wanted to retort, but when she saw the look in his eyes, she couldn’t say anything, so she closed her eyes and stared.

After a while, she suddenly felt that the silent cave was filled with all kinds of noises, such as the gentle sound of rippling water, the tiny breathing of Ting Nu on the other side, and the sounds of the moss on the wall of the cave quietly stretching their bodies.

Who are you looking for?

There seemed to be a voice in her heart asking her.

To find Sixth Brother, Si Feng, Ruo’Yu…and the powerful Zi Hu.

As if on instinct, she raised her right hand lightly, as if to grasp something, all her consciousness concentrated for a split second, and through the stone wall and countless corridors, she saw the blue gauze canopy. The person in the canopy was suddenly frightened and looked back, a pair of pale green eyes facing her.

She saw her!

Xuanji was shocked and opened her eyes. The cave was the same, and there was a merman facing her, nothing had changed. She squeezed Yu Sifeng’s sword and whispered, “I… I know where they are! I’m going to save them!”

She leapt onto the shore, dried off her clothes, and left. I’m not going to be able to do anything about it. Suddenly Ting Nu said softly, “Take me with you, alright?”

Xuanji was dumbfounded, and subconsciously looked at the fishtail on his lower body, and stuttered, “It’s no problem to take you, but can you…” Can you walk? Does he want her to carry it on her back? Well, the merman is probably genderless, but he looks like a man after all….

Ting Nu smiled faintly and pointed to the corner behind her, saying, “Although I can’t stand or walk, but I have my own way.”

Xuanji followed his hand and looked in the corner, and she saw an iron wheelchair there. She truly hadn’t noticed it before. She hurriedly pushed the wheelchair to the edge of the pond and pulled Ting Nu, who sat down on it lightly.

Xuanji took off her wedding garment and put it on him, the wedding garment was so large that it fit him well, even the tail of the fish could be covered.

“Let’s go.” Ting Nu raised his head and smiled at her, dressed in red and with black hair. He really looked like a siren.
