Fang Yuan strolled in the Merman Sacred City, he did not disguise himself, he still looked like Chu Ying. But his aura was completely concealed, he was like a mortal.
On the streets, people were moving around, the Gu Masters that passed by Fang Yuan would never imagine that they would be walking past a rank eight Gu Immortal.
On both sides of the streets, there were rows of shops and houses. The merman houses had a unique style, they were mostly in the shape of shells and conches. Many of them were made from giant shells and conches, or the shells of giant crabs and tortoises. There were also a small number of Gu Houses, each Gu House symbolized wealth and authority, and had strong defensive abilities. Other than private houses, the Gu Houses that were used for shops were doing very well.
As he walked, the people in front of Fang Yuan started to move, they started to cheer loudly.
As he got closer, Fang Yuan saw that a female mermaid's eyes were red as she carefully took a jade eye pearl from a male Gu Master's hands.
This kind of pearl was rare, it had a beautiful jade texture and was covered in light, forming the shape of an eye.
It was not rare for a tyrant. As for Fang Yuan, it was even more of a disdainful mortal material. But this male Gu Master was only rank two, it was not easy for him to take out a rank four Gu material, jade eye pearl.
The mermaid girl might have taken a liking to the male Gu Master's feelings, she took the jade eye pearl in front of everyone, it was equivalent to accepting the male Gu Master's feelings.
Following that, the mermaid placed the Jade Eye Pearl in her mouth. Immediately, a commotion and cheers sounded from the surroundings, causing the person in question to blush shyly.
This action had an extraordinary meaning, she was accepting the young Gu Master's marriage proposal!
"In this paradise, there are no rules, mermen and humans can love each other freely, nobody can stop them from getting married and having children."
"But in the outside world of the five regions, love between mermen and humans is taboo, they will not be encouraged, their children will be looked down upon, ostracized or even killed by the two races."
Fang Yuan had an eerie gaze.
The Sea God Ceremony was about to begin, and the holy city was brimming with a celebratory and joyous atmosphere.
This couple was not the first couple Fang Yuan had seen. Perhaps they were very ordinary, insignificant figures in the vast Holy City. However, being ordinary did not mean that one was isolated from happiness. Such a beautiful moment would be the pearl of their entire life.
Five hundred years of memories from his previous life slowly rose in his heart.
A group of mermen raised their heads high and arrogantly walked in front of Xie Han Mo, Fang Yuan and the rest.
"I am the investigator Wu De, I have received reports from many tribesmen that our tribe's current saintess Xie Han Mo has an affair with the human Gu Master Guyue Fang Yuan, we are here to investigate!" The leading green scaled merman said in an icy tone.
"What?"
"I dare you to say that again!"
The two guards behind Xie Han Mo were immediately enraged and were about to make a move.
Xie Han Mo's expression was calm while Fang Yuan's face was gloomy as he clenched his fists tightly.
He had helped Xie Han Mo investigate the gambling den and found a lot of evidence of corruption, the saintess' mission had a breakthrough.
But the other party was not going to wait for death, they used schemes and malicious rumors, saying that the current saintess was impure and had an affair with the human Gu Master Fang Yuan.
These rumors had no evidence at all, they were completely groundless, Xie Han Mo, Fang Yuan and the rest did not care about it. But to think that the Merman Sacred Court's investigator was actually lured out!
"They sent an investigator without any evidence, Frost Tide tribe's leader is probably not the only one who is corrupted, there are other important figures involved!" Fang Yuan transmitted to Xie Han Mo.
Xie Han Mo frowned slightly, showing a stunned expression as she spoke: "I am the saintess, you are just an investigator, do you have the token of the Elders Association?"
The green scaled merman smiled as he took out an information path Gu worm.
Xie Han Mo had a calm expression: "Only this token?"
The green scaled merman smiled again: "Of course we cannot investigate you with just one token. But Fang Yuan is different, he is a human Gu Master. Not just one token, even if there is no token, we can investigate it! "
Even though Fang Yuan was a human, and humans were the absolute overlords of the five regions, Eastern Sea's Merman Sacred Court was a super force, Fang Yuan had no backing, so the green scaled merman was not exaggerating.
"Sinister and vicious, to think that Frost Tide tribe's leader is such a despicable person!"
"The other party is afraid, he knows how powerful Fang Yuan is, he is afraid that he will help us find more evidence."
The two guards blocked in front of Fang Yuan.
After this period of interaction, they had acknowledged Fang Yuan.
"Please wait, if there is a conflict between us, it will be like the other party's wish, we will not be able to explain ourselves. I am willing to go with them. We have already made huge progress in the gambling den, even without me, you can still succeed if you continue using the same method! "Fang Yuan transmitted.
"Absolutely not!"
"Fang Yuan, you are too naive, if you end up in their hands, you will die."
The two guards shook their heads.
Fang Yuan smiled: "What are you afraid of? At most, I will die. My life was saved by you, so this way, I can repay your kindness. The two of you shouldn't underestimate the other party's plan. This plan seems to be targeting me, but it is actually targeting Saintess. Once the Saintess's reputation was tarnished, rumors would spread, and her position as the Saintess would be jeopardized. It is not important to sacrifice me, but you must protect the saintess' position. Without this position, how can we investigate and punish the corruption? "
The two guards couldn't help but hesitate.
Xie Han Mo still had a calm expression, she looked at the jade scaled merman and said: "Go back, I will not give him to you."
The jade scaled merman was slightly stunned before smiling: "Saintess, you want to protect this human Gu Master? Even if there is a conflict between you and us inspectors, you will not hesitate? "
Xie Han Mo nodded: "You can leave."
The jade scaled merman looked at Fang Yuan and then at Xie Han Mo, showing a smile of success: "Good! In that case, we are not Saintess' match, we can only retreat. Hahaha! "
With that, he waved his hand and led the group of mermen away.
"Saintess, why are you doing this?" Fang Yuan said anxiously: "This way, we will …"
Xie Han Mo interrupted Fang Yuan: "Fang Yuan, you are a good person."
"Eh?"
"You are not afraid of death, other than courage, the biggest reason is that you are bored, right? You seem to be disappointed in this world and your own life, your eyes are filled with weariness and exhaustion. But all of this cannot deny that you are a good person. "Xie Han Mo said quietly.
Fang Yuan: "…"
Xie Han Mo continued: "And I am also a good person. Why would a good person give up on a good person? "
Saying so, she winked at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was in a daze, this was the first time he had seen such a lively expression on Xie Han Mo's face, it was cunning and cute.
"Then … what should we do about the rumors?"
"That's right, that damned inspector will definitely add fuel to the fire when he returns!"
The two guards were deeply worried.
Xie Han Mo's expression returned to normal, she replied lightly: "Then let them speak."
…
Several days later, the Sea God Ceremony began.
The male mermen wore armor made from shells, they held spears, spears, long blades, and so on. According to tradition, these shells and long-handled weapons were all made from local materials and polished by their own hands.
Meanwhile, the female mermen wore kelp of all kinds of colors. Pink kelp was usually worn by unmarried girls, widows wore black kelp, while noble ladies wore gold, silver, or glass colored ones. Ordinary women wore brown, dark blue, or grey-white colored ones.
This was the national attire of the mermen, it was very unique.
A long time ago, mermen did not know how to use Gu worms, they lived a primitive life. Men hunted, women gathered.
In the plaza at the center of the Sacred City, people gathered here, singing and dancing were celebrating peace.
A large number of merman warriors waved their spears, their armors collided with each other, creating loud noises.
The kelp on the mermaids' bodies were like ribbons, they danced along with the singing, they did not know fatigue.
This moment belonged to the mermen, all of the human Gu Masters were watching from outside.
The song and dance continued for several hours, merman men and women carried broken shell armors or dragged their tired bodies out of the plaza.
Gradually, several merman girls stood out, they were the candidates for the saintess position this year.
What surprised Fang Yuan was that there were a total of eight or nine competitors, not all of them were white scales. It seemed that in this paradise, the qualifications to compete for the saintess position were not exclusive to white scaled mermen, the other rainbow scaled mermen were also qualified.
