Chapter 115 Mermaid They sailed on the sea for two months, but gained nothing. However, Lao Niu saw the vast ocean, and Chen Huaian heard the sound of the raging waves. "Old Cow, it looks like we won't find anything this time." Chen Huaian sighed. "Moo." (Then we'll try next time. If it doesn't work once, we'll try it twice. If it doesn't work twice, we'll try it three times. There will always be a day when we can find it.) "Then, let's set off and return to the shore." Chen Huaian steered the ship and embarked on the journey back to the mainland. When they came back, winter had passed and it was spring and flowers were blooming, but Chen Huaian was not in the mood to appreciate them. He and Lao Niu spent half a month preparing dry food and then went out to sea again. This time, they went out for a year and still found nothing, not even a small island. Helplessly they had to return. This time, they prepared a lot of dry food, which took them three months. It is said that "fate" is wonderful, but Chen Huaian does not believe in the so-called fate. He only believes in persistence. He is not worried about his life span. What he is worried about is Guan Guan. The time over there cannot withstand the waiting. This time when they went down to the sea, they still found nothing.
"Old Cow, it's a little hard to find." "Moo." (No matter how hard it is, I will find it.) Chen Huaian did not reply. He listened to the whistling sound of the sea breeze. Actually, life on the sea was very boring, but he could play music. During his time on the sea, his lifespan and his proficiency in Wugui and Huanliu swordsmanship were increasing at an astonishing rate. [Name: Chen Huaian, Age: 41] [Lifespan: 502, Bones: Ordinary] [Kung Fu: LV9 Phantom Sword Technique (68%)] [Skill: No Return] [Level: LV9 (98/100)] [Today’s lifespan increase: eight hours] [Disease: epileptic laughter disorder, which can be gradually treated by Bie Wugui. Current treatment progress: 79%] "The treatment level of my epileptic laughter disorder is almost full." Chen Huaian looked at the panel. The time intervals between his occasional laughter attacks were getting longer and longer, and the duration of each attack was getting shorter. "This may be the only benefit of going out to sea." Chen Huaian looked out to sea and said in his heart. Even though he could not see far, he could hear the roar of the sea. Just as Chen Huaian was about to pick up the flute and play Wugui, the old cow suddenly called out, "Moo, there is an island ahead." "you sure?!" Chen Huaian was a little excited. They had been out at sea for such a long time and finally found an island. Chen Huaian did not try to control the direction deliberately. It was difficult to determine the direction on the sea, and both the man and the cow were poor at finding their way, so Chen Huaian did not care about the direction. "Old Cow, go to the island." Chen Huaian didn’t think this was Penglai Island. If it was really so easy to find, the Shushan classics wouldn’t have said it was so mysterious. But discovering an island is also a good start. Chen Huaian controlled the boat, and Lao Niu pointed the direction, and they slowly approached the island.
Chen Huaian moored the boat at the seaside and went to the island with Lao Niu. The scenery on the island was beautiful and it was refreshing to look at. "Take a rest. You must be very tired after drifting on the sea for so long." "Moo." (Support.) The old cow started a fire on the spot, and Chen Huaian went to get a few coconuts. Chen Huaian wanted to let the old cow do it, after all, it could knock down a lot of coconuts with one collision, but he remembered that he seemed to be able to cut it down with one sword. So, Chen Huaian swung his sword and cut off five coconuts. They ate a lot of them, but the coconut milk was very sweet and refreshing, and they never got tired of it, so they liked it very much. Chen Huaian and Lao Niu were grilling fish. Actually, they didn't really want to eat it. They hadn't eaten rice for a long time and missed it very much. When Chen Huaian and Lao Niu were eating, there was a figure watching them from afar. Chen Huaian and Lao Niu had known about the existence of that figure for a long time, but they just ignored it. Because the figure felt very weak to them and posed no threat to them. However, that figure seemed to be very brave and actually came towards them stealthily. Chen Huaian and Lao Niu found it a little funny and decided to see what kind of existence this figure was. "Lao Niu, do you think it could be a mermaid?" Chen Huaian asked. "Moo." (I see you're missing women. When I get back, I'll definitely make arrangements for you and introduce you to some cows... no, some beautiful women.) "You? No one else can understand what you are saying." The old cow seemed to have forgotten that only Chen Huaian could understand what it said. "Um, can I eat some of your food? I haven't eaten for a long time." It was a female voice. However, Chen Huaian and Lao Niu were immediately shocked. They were shocked that this figure had appeared beside them without them knowing when. Chen Huaian and Lao Niu looked at her at the same time. At this moment, her eyes were staring at their grilled fish. Chen Huaian and Lao Niu only noticed at this time that she had long hair as smooth as seaweed, shining with a faint blue luster. On her beautiful face, she had ears that were different from ordinary people, and azure fish scales. If you ignore these, they are almost the same as ordinary people. "Who are you?" Chen Huaian asked with a frown. The old cow's reaction was different from Chen Huaian's. "Moo!" (Mermaid, it's a mermaid!) The old cow's reaction was as if he had discovered something extraordinary. "My name is Cai Lin, and I'm from the Lan clan of the fishman tribe." Cai Lin replied. She looked at Chen Huaian with some caution, but the warm smile on Chen Huaian's face and his approachable personality made her like him more and more. "Lan family?" Chen Huaian asked with some confusion. Cai Lin nodded and said, "Yes, there are also the Hong Clan and the Hei Clan. The Hei Clan is the most powerful. They live on the east side of this island. The Hong Clan is on the opposite side of our island." After Cai Lin finished speaking, her eyes were still fixed on the grilled fish they had just grilled. Chen Huaian couldn't help but laugh. He picked up the grilled fish and handed it to Cai Lin. Cai Lin was a little surprised when she saw this, and the vigilance in her eyes had long disappeared. Chen Huaian gave her the feeling that she didn't trust a bad guy. "Is this really for me?" Chen Huaian nodded and said, "It's for you. Eat it quickly." Seeing that Chen Huaian agreed, Cai Lin took the grilled fish from Chen Huaian's hand and started eating it in big mouthfuls. It seemed that she had been hungry for a long time. "Aren't you from the Lan family? Why do you have nothing to eat? And aren't you a mermaid? Why don't you go fishing?" After Chen Huaian asked, Cai Lin's eyes were filled with sadness, "The Lan family is too weak and can only survive by relying on the support of the Hong and Hei families." "And we can't go into the sea. My people have been cursed by them. If we go into the sea easily, we will turn into foam and die completely." After hearing this, Chen Huaian couldn't help but frown. He didn't understand why the Hong and Hei families cursed the Lan family.
"Why do they curse you?" Chen Huaian asked. Cai Lin shook her head when she heard Chen Huaian’s words. She didn’t know why. Their tribe had been cursed since she was born. "Is there no way to crack it?" Chen Huaian asked again. "Yes!" Cai Lin answered quickly, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared. When Chen Huaian saw her expression, he knew that this matter must not be simple. (End of this chapter)
