Chapter 787: The New King (4)
Yun Feng didn’t say anything. Qu Lanyi and Lan Yi certainly didn’t say anything either. They didn’t know how to answer at all. Yun Feng was silent for a while. “I have something important to do. I’m passing by and need to stop for a day.” Yun Feng said thoughtfully with a cold tone. The village leader said after hearing that, “The village is small. I hope you don’t mind.”
Yun Feng nodded. The village leader led the way, and Yun Feng followed him without hesitation. Qu Lanyi smiled. This girl adapted to her new role rather quickly. The two handsome men certainly followed her, attracting a lot of adoring gazes on the way.
Under the arrangement of the village leader, the few of them moved into the village leader’s house. The village leader said a few words and turned around to leave. “Master, did they see through us?” Lan Yi was a bit worried. Yun Feng shook her head. “That’s very unlikely. He said blue-finned… It seems that this represents a kind of identity, and it’s very noble.”
“There are a lot of things that we need to know, or we’ll make a mistake.” Qu Lanyi said solemnly and then got up to leave. Yun Feng was puzzled. Qu Lanyi blinked. “I’ll get some information.”
Yun Feng was stunned. Qu Lanyi chuckled and pushed the door open. Lan Yi glanced at him suspiciously. “How is he going to get the information?”
How? What else could he do?
It had already been a long time until Qu Lanyi came back. There was still the distinction of day and night at the bottom of the Endless Ocean. It was almost dusk. Qu Lanyi pushed the door open and entered with a serious look. Yun Feng couldn’t help but feel puzzled when she saw him. “What’s wrong?”
“The area we’re in is indeed ruled by the merfolk. The blue-finned they mentioned just then are indeed the representatives of noble status among the merfolk. They’re also a symbol.” Qu Lanyi glanced at Yun Feng. “The merfolk have three noble identities, namely the red-finned, the blue-finned and the white-finned. These three identities are equivalent to the noble royal family. As for the sea demons… That’s just the name humans give the merfolk.”
Yun Feng nodded. After all, humans didn’t know much about the merfolk. Even if they had seen them, they wouldn’t know them so deeply. Their understanding was certainly different. The sea demons were just an idea of humans. The merfolk were actually divided into these three noble identities, and Yaoyao… belonged to the blue-finned.
“That’s all I know for now. I can’t ask about the other things in detail, but…” Qu Lanyi glanced at Yaoyao. The identity of the blue-finned mermaid was so noble and there were very few of them. Did they not notice that Yaoyao was missing?
“Maybe they investigated in secret?” Yun Feng said. It was impossible for them not to notice the loss of their precious clansmen. They must be investigating in secret.
Qu Lanyi didn’t say anything else. At this moment, Lan Yi asked, “How exactly did you get this information?”
Yun Feng couldn’t help but feel a bit uncomfortable in her mind after hearing that. Qu Lanyi smiled. “Of course, from…” He glanced at Yun Feng and a gentle glint flashed through her eyes when she saw Yun Feng’s slightly awkward expression. “Of course, from the village leader. Who else could it be?”
Yun Feng suddenly felt relieved. She looked up and found that Qu Lanyi was looking at her with a burning gaze. She couldn’t help but blush again. “I think we’ll get more information if we go to a bigger place,” said Qu Lanyi. Yun Feng thought for a moment. “It’ll be great if we can get a map of the merfolk’s territory.”
It couldn’t be easier to get a map. Before they left the next day, Yun Feng directly said that her map was lost. The village leader immediately gave her a copy and didn’t doubt the identity of Yun Feng and the others at all. The colors of the fins couldn’t be fake. The merfolk would never have thought that humans could go deep into this place without being discovered. They were standing in front of them, coming and leaving.
Yun Feng didn’t know why only her fins were blue. Perhaps it was because of her intimate interaction with Yaoyao. Meatball hadn’t been discovered. Because there were other races that lived in the territory of the merfolk, even though there weren’t many of them, Meatball should be regarded as a rare species and didn’t attract too much attention.
After getting a map, they said goodbye. After leaving the village, Yun Feng looked at the map in her hand and roughly understood the distribution of the merfolk. Qu Lanyi and Lan Yi also looked at it. “This map only represents the territory of the merfolk. The Endless Ocean is so vast. It seems that the division of territory is very obvious.”
“Indeed. It’s safer for us to do this in the merfolk’s territory, but it’s a different story when we step out of this territory.”
“We shouldn’t explore the other areas of the Endless Ocean just yet, in case we cause trouble.” Qu Lanyi looked solemn. Yun Feng agreed. She only needed to find the whereabouts of the Spirit Gathering Grass on this trip. If it wasn’t in the territory of the merfolk, she would make other plans.
Yun Feng looked at the map carefully. The blue-finned, the red-finned and the white-finned were indeed of noble status. They each had their own jurisdiction. She looked like a blue-finned mermaid. Yaoyao was also a blue-finned mermaid. It would be easier for her to do things if she appeared in a bigger place. If the upper echelons of the blue-finned merfolk heard about this, she would think of a countermeasure.
After all, the color of the fins couldn’t be hidden. Yun Feng didn’t intend to avoid them. There was a small city in the north of this place. That place was under the joint jurisdiction of all the three fins and was also relatively free. It was the place where they could gather the most information. They rushed all the way. The territory of the Endless Ocean was indeed vast. They walked for a few days before they came to this small city. Naturally, Yun Feng attracted a lot of attention. Even if she didn’t gain a fish tail, the merfolk would still believe that she was a member of their race.
They entered the city smoothly. Most people in this small city were merfolk. Handsome men and beautiful women walked on the streets. They were much more beautiful than the human world. However, Qu Lanyi and Lan Yi were still the center of attention here, and so was Yun Feng. Facing the huge number of charming eyes, they ignored them. Yun Feng was very surprised to find a place to rest. It turned out there were caves one after another for rest.
Since this was a place where the power of the three fins intersected, it wasn’t surprising that there were all kinds of people. However, the news she got made Yun Feng a bit depressed. Spirit Gathering Grass? None had never heard of it.
The merfolk had never heard of the Spirit Gathering Grass? It seemed that the journey of finding the Spirit Gathering Grass wouldn’t be smooth. Normal people wouldn’t know if there was such a thing as the Spirit Gathering Grass in the territory of the merfolk. Yun Feng thought about countermeasures and could only take the risk to go up. Even though the risk was huge, she could only try!
