After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 439 Please save them!

Shui Lian'er vomited until her face turned pale, but she didn't waste any time. She barely managed to drive the Soft Cloud down the sea waterfall to search for the Mermaid Clan.

The waves at the sea waterfall were huge, and the air currents were strong. Shui Lian'er had tried to keep Rou Yun as far away as possible, but Rou Yun was still shaking.

Qin Beiyao and the others also helped her stabilize Rouyun, but then a huge wave crashed down, and they were mercilessly swept underwater.

Rouyun lost control and instantly shrank back to its original size, entering Shui Lian'er's Qiankun bag.

Jiang Liqian and the others were swept into the current. The current was so fast that they felt dizzy and disoriented, as if their bodies were no longer their own. They had no way to control their bodies.

In the end, they didn't even know how they lost consciousness. They all closed their eyes and sank.

At the critical moment, the merman woman suddenly sensed something. While holding back Jiang Liqian who was sinking, she made a very strange and ethereal sound. In a short while, many mermen swam out from all directions from the blue-glowing seabed. They were male or female, old or young, and all of them were stunningly beautiful.

The merman woman dragged Jiang Li towards the direction of the clan leader. Her injured fish tail made swimming very difficult, but thinking of her savior who was in imminent danger, she dared not stop for a moment.

"Chieftain, chieftain, please save them! I beg you, please save them!"

When the clan leader saw the woman, he first happily called out her name, "Lanlan." But when he saw Jiang Liqian in the woman's arms, his eyes immediately changed, and he scolded, "How could you bring such a cunning human cultivator to our dwelling place?"

Upon hearing this, the woman named Lanlan immediately began to explain anxiously, telling him how Jiang Liqian and her group had rescued her and brought her here after going through life and death together.

The clan chief did not immediately express his opinion after hearing the whole story, but he still ordered his men to rescue Jiang Liqian and her group.

However, he was imprisoned in an underwater hell.

Lanlan protested, "They are all good people, unlike those other people. You can't treat them like this!"

The clan chief remained unmoved and ordered someone to take her away to heal her wounds, saying that everything would be discussed after she recovered.

So when Jiang Liqian and the others woke up, they were in a dark blue prison.

At first, they didn't know what was going on. It wasn't until the merfolk guards brought them food that they realized they had been captured by the merfolk.

Qin Beiyao tried to explain to the guards why they were there, but the guards didn't even look at them, and after putting down the food, they turned around and swam away.

"Are we going to be locked up here until we die?" Shui Lian'er wailed.

Su Yanqing then examined the food they had brought with great interest: "It looks... a bit like overcooked shrimp mixed with sea mud?"

Stone sat upright to one side, giving him a light but not harsh glance: "What, you want to eat?"

What kind of time is this to be focusing on this?!

Su Yanqing reluctantly threw away the stick in his hand, put his hands behind his head, and fell back onto the seaweed bed.

Surprisingly, it's quite soft.

Qin Beiyao looked at Jiang Liqian, his eyes asking her what to do and whether they should force their way out.

Jiang Liqian shook her head.

Merfolk are sea spirits, blessed by the heavens and earth. This is their territory, and even if they force their way in, they might not be able to get out.

"Wait a minute," Jiang Liqian said thoughtfully. "There should be room for maneuver. We didn't hurt them, so they have no reason to keep us locked up indefinitely. They might just be observing whether we have ulterior motives."

Qin Beiyao trusted Jiang Liqian's judgment and nodded.

Shui Lian'er wasn't too anxious. This was her first time at the bottom of the sea, and she could breathe freely. The scenery at the bottom of the sea was really beautiful, completely different from that on land!

The five had long since stopped eating and didn't need to eat at all. However, when the guards brought food again and saw that they hadn't touched it, they hurriedly reported to their clan chief and summoned him.

The merfolk chieftain approached the cell with a stern face, his tone carrying a hint of anger: "Is it just a matter of locking you up, and you're all going to starve to death? How can human cultivators be so shameless?!"

"..."

The five people looked at each other, completely baffled.

When are they going to starve to death?

Seeing that they still wouldn't eat, the merman chieftain paced back and forth outside the prison in anger. Finally, as if he had made a major decision, he waved to the guards beside him.

The guard was initially surprised, but eventually had to suppress his anger, approach the cell door, and use a special coral key to open it.

The merfolk chieftain swam up to them and warned, "I can release you, but you cannot continue your hunger strike, nor can you leave here immediately. You must wait until Lanlan's injuries have healed before we can send you away."

The group was completely baffled by the merfolk's actions, but they were quite happy to be spared from being locked up in prison.

Jiang Liqian, however, was concerned about Xu You'an on the island. She frowned slightly and asked, "May I ask, clan leader, when will Miss Lanlan be fully recovered?"

The merfolk chieftain seemed startled by the polite and courteous manner of Jiang Liqian, and almost attacked her. However, after seeing that she was only asking politely, he breathed a sigh of relief and changed his opinion of them a bit.

"She will be fully recovered in two days."

So fast?

Jiang Liqian was astonished by the mermaid race's recovery ability. She knew how badly the girl named Lanlan was injured, otherwise they wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to escort her here.

It'll only be two days... Oh well, they'll just wait a little longer.

"That's annoying."

The merfolk chieftain didn't say anything more and had the guards lead them to their lodgings.

However, during mealtimes, they still brought a large plate of something they didn't know in front of them, as if they were worried that they wouldn't eat it. After bringing it, they not only didn't leave, but stayed in the same spot and stared at them.

Shui Lian'er was marveling at the beauty and magnificence of the underwater palace when she was suddenly invited to sit down and eat, instantly shattering all her interest.

Seriously, she's not a picky eater, but is this stuff even edible?

Even Jiang Liqian, who doesn't usually care much about food, looked at the food on the table with mixed feelings, unable to bring herself to eat it.

With a sigh, she decided to take the initiative to talk to their chieftain and tell them that they no longer needed to eat.

After talking and gesturing with the guard for a long time, the guard finally went to report to the clan chief with some doubt.

The chieftain initially didn't believe them, thinking they were still playing tricks, so he had the guards send them many underwater jewels and treasures. Later, seeing that they insisted and didn't want the jewels, he had no choice but to believe their story.

Shui Lian'er and Qin Beiyao wandered around the seabed, while Shi Tou was very interested in the local legends and chatted with the merfolk from time to time. As for Su Yanqing, he was so attracted by the various rare treasures that he couldn't move. Even if he didn't take them, he could still touch and look at them.
