This was the first time Ming Xi had heard of mermaids, so when the Fire Phoenix said that the golden piece in his hand was a mermaid's scale, he could not imagine what a mermaid looked like.
By the time they returned to the capital, the sky was already bright. Shang'er was holding Zhao Mengmeng's hand, wanting to go to the market. Seeing them return, she pouted her little mouth, looking pitiful after being abandoned by them.
"Jin 'er, come here quickly, I have something to show you." Fire Phoenix was careless and did not notice Shang'er's unhappiness. She wanted to give her the scale to confirm if it was left behind by a mermaid.
"I'm going out with Meng Meng. I don't have time for you guys." Shang 'er snorted.
Ming Xi walked in front of Shang'er. "Then I'll accompany you."
"Weren't you guys having fun? Why are you back? " Shang'er deliberately did not look at Ming Xi. Although she knew that what they said made sense, Ah Bu was always trembling when he saw her, but it was wrong of them to leave her behind and sneak away in the middle of the night.
"I was afraid you'd be bored by yourself, so I came back." Ming Xi said with a smile.
Shang'er snorted. "I won't be bored. I have Meng Meng to accompany me."
Ming Xi lowered his eyes to look at the tiny Zhao Mengmeng. That little girl was looking at him with a dazed expression. "Let's go to the market first. I'll show you something when we come back."
"What is it?" Seeing Ming Xi's serious tone, Shang'er's curiosity was immediately piqued.
"It has something to do with mermaids." Fire Phoenix whispered.
Ming Xi gave him a look, telling him not to say too much in front of Zhao Mengmeng.
Shang'er immediately forgot that she was still angry. "What? Where did you go? What did you find? "
Although Zhao Mengmeng was still young, she was at the age where curiosity was the most exuberant. Ming Xi didn't say too much to Shang'er and only accompanied them to the market. When Zhao Mengmeng fell asleep from exhaustion and was sent back to Shui Miaomiao, the three of them returned to the house.
Shang Er was about to die of curiosity. She knew better than anyone else that it was impossible for mermaids to exist in the human world. No, to be exact, there were no mermaids in the human world. The mermaids were a race in the Divine Realm, and their status was not high. They cultivated their entire lives just to pass through the Dragon's Gate and become a Dragonman. Although they were the lowest existence in the Dragon Clan, they had to serve the True Dragon for their entire lives. They were no different from the servants in the human world.
However, they gladly endured the hardship.
"What did you find? Let me have a look, "Shang'er urged.
"This." Ming Xi took out a palm-sized scale from his bosom. "Huo 'er said that this is a mermaid's scale. What do you think?"
Shang'er took the gold piece from Ming Xi's hand and asked in shock, "Where did you guys find this? Her scales have already turned golden. She is a very orthodox mermaid. She has lived in the deep sea all her life. She has an extremely high status in the mermaid race and is the only mermaid who is unwilling to leap through the dragon's gate to become a dragonman. "
As she spoke, she took a sniff and said, "This scale is still very fresh. It's impossible for there to be mermaid scales in the Mortal World. You guys haven't been to the Immortal World …"
"Mingxi found this in the lake." Fire Phoenix said.
Shang'er was stunned. "You found it in the lake in the human world?"
Ming Xi nodded lightly and told Shang'er everything he had seen and heard after entering the lake. "... This scale was found in the lake. That lake was deeper than the sea. I didn't see the bottom of the lake, only a large black hole."
"Could it be that there are mermaids in the human world?" Shang'er was astonished. Even Ming Xi couldn't see the bottom of the lake, so it must be very deep. Furthermore, that black hole … She suspected that it didn't belong to the human world.
"You've forgotten, Ah Bu! Mister Huangfu saved Ah Bu by the lake. "Fire Phoenix immediately said.
"Ah!" Shang'er cried out. "I remember now. No wonder I felt that Ah Bu's aura was very strange. He didn't seem like someone from the human world, but he didn't have the aura of a god. So he's a mermaid!"
She had only heard of mermaids before, but had never truly encountered one.
"So you're saying that Ah Bu is really a mermaid?" Ming Xi said in surprise. "If mermaids only exist in your god race, then how did he appear in the human world?"
"I'm not sure either." Shang'er looked at the scale in her hand. "That large black hole you mentioned might be the reason."
Fire Phoenix asked softly, "The gap in your god race, is it … that large black hole?"
"We can go wherever the god race needs the gap in the human world." Shang'er said. "I'll have to go take a look to know."
"Let's go now." Fire Phoenix said excitedly. He really wanted to know what that large black hole was.
Ming Xi shook his head. "We just came back. If we go out now, it will make my parents suspicious. We'll go tomorrow."
"Then what about this?" Fire Phoenix pointed at the scale in Shang'er's hand.
"This was picked up by Ming Xi, so of course we'll put it on him." Shang'er said. "Mermaid scales rarely fall off, not to mention such a beautiful scale. This might be of great use in the future."
Ming Xi took the scale from Shang'er and asked doubtfully, "What use does it have?"
"It can be used to make medicine and pills. It can also be used as the strongest armor. Anyway, keep it well. You might have a use for it in the future." Shang'er said with a smile.
Fire Phoenix used her finger to poke the scale a few times. "If a mermaid's scale is so useful, then wouldn't a true dragon's scale be even more powerful?"
"Shut up!" Ming Xi knocked on Fire Phoenix's forehead and put the scale away.
"Ah!" Shang'er cried out unknowingly. "Ming Xi, have you been keeping my scale?"
Ming Xi froze and put his hand on the pouch at his waist. Since his mother gave him the dragon scale, he had been carrying it with him, reminding him not to let Shang'er do it for him in the future. "Yes, what's wrong?"
Shang'er frowned and thought for a while. "You said that the big black hole wanted to suck you in, but when they came ashore, the lake was very calm?"
"Yes." Ming Xi nodded. "What's wrong?"
"Let's go and see tomorrow." Shang'er said, feeling that the big black hole should be very problematic.
Ming Xi said, "I'll go and talk to my mother."
Ye Zhen already knew that Ming Xi had returned. She waited for a long time, but her son did not come to her. She was complaining to Mo Rongzhan that her son had not married yet and had forgotten his mother.
Mo Rongzhan smiled and hugged her in his arms.
"Fortunately, I watched my daughter-in-law grow up. She's almost like a daughter." Ye Zhen comforted herself. Even Shang'er herself said that she was a child bride, so she should not be able to run away in the future.
"Yao Yao, Shang'er is a true dragon …" Mo Rongzhan whispered.
Ye Zhen thought for a moment. "Love is not divided into types. I am an open-minded elder."
He didn't mean that at all! Mo Rongzhan thought helplessly. Forget it, let's talk about the future later.
"Mother, I'm back." Ming Xi's voice finally came from outside.
