Chapter 2400: The Little Mermaid (2)
“Who are you?” The timid little mermaid let out a trembling voice; her small face was full of fear and her
empty eyes were dim.
Shen Yanxiao opened her mouth slightly and kept thinking about Satan’s comments about multicolored
mermaids.
The appearance of each multicolored mermaid heralded the birth of a new generation of merfolk rulers.
However, the Merfolk King that Shen Yanxiao had seen before did not have the colorful scales. As it
turned out, it was not that there wasn’t a multicolored mermaid, but she was just hidden in such a narrow
room!
“I mean no harm.” Shen Yanxiao looked at the timid little gure and softened her voice.
“You… you are not a mermaid here. I… I have not seen you before.” The little mermaid clung tightly to the
wall and was full of resistance toward Shen Yanxiao.
Shen Yanxiao looked into the dim eyes of the little mermaid. She was clearly blind and yet she used the
word “seen”.
“I have just arrived here, and I have no intention of hurting you. It’s very dangerous here at the moment.
You’d better not walk around at will.” Shen Yanxiao let out a sigh. The merpeople in the whole palace had
been killed by Satan. If a little bit of her merfolk perception hadn’t awakened, maybe she wouldn’t have
found the little mermaid hiding here at all. With Satan’s character, if he knew there were still a mermaid
alive, he would surely kill her. The only thing she was thankful for now was that Satan didn’t seem to have
the perception of the merfolk.
“I know… father… father is dead, Elder Sister Qing is dead…” The little mermaid wept sadly.
“Your father?”
“My father is the king of the merfolk.” The little mermaid curled herself up into a ball, huddled tightly in
the corner, and held her long hair blindly.
“Your father is the Merfolk King? But why are you here?” Shen Yanxiao really didn’t think that this small
room was an appropriate dwelling place for the child of the Merfolk King. The mechanism outside was not
complicated in the slightest; it was very simple. Furthermore, the entrance could only be opened from the
outside, and the little mermaid in the room could not open the mechanism to leave by herself under any
circumstances.
The little mermaid did not immediately answer Shen Yanxiao’s question. She hesitated for a long time
before she said, “Can… can you close the door? The smell is very bad.”
Shen Yanxiao was slightly stunned.
“Blood.” The little mermaid explained.
Shen Yanxiao looked at the little mermaid in surprise. This room was far away from the main hall of the
palace, as well as the room given to Shen Yanxiao. Even she could not smell any blood here, but this little
fellow could smell it.
Shen Yanxiao closed the door according to her words. She was not worried that she would not be able to
open the door again. There were very few locks in the world that she could not open.
“Thank you.” The little mermaid thanked her in a soft voice.
The room was quiet, and Shen Yanxiao did not urge the little mermaid to speak. She carefully sensed the
movements of the sea water. Once she found Satan returning, she would leave immediately. She did not
want the little mermaid to be exposed.
“My father told me to stay here, as my eyes can’t see anything…”
The little mermaid nally spoke and told Shen Yanxiao about herself.
Perhaps Shen Yanxiao’s attitude reassured the little mermaid, so she was less wary of her than before.
“Although I can’t see anything, I can feel what happened here. I know… I know there is a very terrible guy
that came here, and he… he killed my father… killed a lot of us…”
