Traveling through the world of beasts, making a living

Chapter 163 Mermaid Phantom Legs

Everyone was having a blast! Mona and the beastmen stepped back to make room for these overly excited creatures.

Meng Meng ran to the soul grass:

"Grandpa Soul Grass, what great opportunity do you want to give the Mermaid Princess? Can I take it?"

"Silly boy, your opportunity was given to you by your grandfather, but you just didn't realize it!"

"When did you give it to me? How come I didn't know? Grandpa must be lying!"

Meng Meng was talking to herself. Mona pulled Meng Zi over and whispered in her ear:

"It was that time with Zhuzhu. Don't say that. It hurts Grandpa's feelings. Mengzi, and all of you, remember this: when someone does you a favor, you should repay them with a spring! When doing things, never forget your original intention!"

Huncao and Guiyuan looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.

"Mermaids, follow me, Bai Ze, the big fish head guards the valley entrance!"

Everyone followed the soul grass deep into the sea valley and came to a mysterious place. There, the soul grass used its magic power, and a flash of light appeared, and the mermaid princess radiated a strange light.

After a while, the mermaid princess was surprised to find that her fish tail had turned into a pair of beautiful legs.

"Wow! I can really walk!" The mermaid princess jumped up excitedly.

Soul Grass looked at the ecstatic mermaid princess with a satisfied smile on her face. The mermaid princess tried to walk on her own two feet. It was a little uncomfortable at first, but she soon mastered her balance. She looked at Soul Grass with gratitude, tears in her eyes.

"Thank you, Grandpa Soul Grass!" The mermaid princess knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude.

Soul Grass smiled and nodded, motioning for the mermaid princess to stand up.

"Now, you can pursue your life. But remember, kindness and gratitude will always be with you."

The mermaid princess bowed again in thanks, then turned to face the sea, her eyes full of anticipation for the future.

She took a deep breath, jumped into the sea, spread her new wings, and swam away into the distance.

Behind her, a string of crystal water droplets was left, as if they were her footprints towards happiness.

The Soul Grass unleashed its power, channeling its long-stored Soul Return Grass energy into the bodies of the mermaids one by one. Flashes of blue light appeared, and the mermaids all manifested legs. Surprised and delighted, the mermaids tried to walk. But they couldn't adapt, and they fell to the ground with a thud. Other members of the tribe shakily approached and helped them up.

Seeing this, Mona said to them:

"Mermaids, please don't be anxious. You are like children who have just learned to walk and you still don't have balance. Take your time."

Everyone nodded in unison, and as they joyfully supported each other, slowly learning to walk, they all shed tears of excitement.

Meng Meng, this little greedy ghost, followed behind and picked up the pearls one by one!

"I'm rich! I'm rich! How come there are so many pearls? Is this a gift from God?"

"Mengzi, you should thank Grandpa Soul Grass. This is a great fortune that Grandpa Soul Grass has given to the mermaids. It's also a great fortune for you, a little greedy ghost."

"Yes, thank you, Grandpa Soul Grass."

Everyone laughed and talked happily. The merman's problem was solved. Elder Guiyuan looked at the soul grass.

"Old man, you should have finished your business. When are we going to go find those three?"

"Let me take care of these Soul Returning Grasses first. Then we can set off again."

As soon as Soul Grass finished speaking, the mermaid princess came out from the other side with tears streaming down her face.

"Thank you, Senior. I finally feel like a human, not a monster with a human head and a fish tail. On behalf of the entire mermaid clan, I kowtow to you and thank you for giving me a new life!"

"Get up, get up! I, an old man, cannot bear your worship. You mermaids are born with human heads and fish tails. Only the essence of the Soul Returning Grass can give you legs. That's why I called you here. I've also made inquiries. You mermaids are quite reasonable. You treat your own people well and are kind to other creatures. So this time, I will grant you this great opportunity. I hope you will cultivate your hearts and souls in the future and never forget your original aspirations."

"Yes, I will do as you say. Please allow me to stay in the Sea Valley to take care of the Soul Returning Grass. This is to thank you for your kindness in giving me a new life!"

"Alright, I'll let you guard the sea valley. Also, you must get along well with the big fish head, the guardian beast of the Soul Return Grass, and the sirens, and protect the Soul Return Grass."

"Are you afraid that the Sea Demon God will return and snatch the Soul Returning Grass?"

Longying's very direct Soul-Questioning Grass.

"Indeed, the Sea Demon God already knew that the Soul Returning Grass could repair the soul, but he didn't know that the energy it emanated could be used for cultivation by gods and demons. But the one in the Dark Abyss must know. So we must be prepared in advance."

Mona lowered her head and thought for a moment, then said:

"Then can we transplant some of it and leave some here for them to guard, while also providing a place for the sea people and mermaids to practice?"

"This arrangement is the best. Initially, I was thinking of uprooting the merpeople after they had conjured legs and taking them all away. Now these sea creatures rely on them, so it's better to leave some behind!"

"Senior Soul Grass, does the other part have certain requirements for temperature, moisture, and soil? Last time I asked you, you didn't tell me. You didn't even think about transplanting it, right?"

"That's right, I haven't found a suitable place yet, so I have to take everything away."

At this time, Wushuang came out and bowed to Senior Huncao as a junior.

"Senior, I think there is a place that is very suitable for them to grow."

"Where is it? Tell me."

"It's the East Continent, our Ten Thousand Beast Tribe. There's a valley with a spiritual spring there. The climate and water there must be good."

Long Ying and Mona also woke up at the same time.

"Yes, yes. That place must be able to do it. If there is not enough spiritual energy, there will be no spiritual spring!"

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Soul Grass waved his palm, and half of the Soul Return Grass was collected in his palm. It turned into dots of blue light and sank into his palm.

"Sea King and Mermaid Princess. This place is in your hands. If the Sea Devil invades and you are unable to defeat him, blow the conch and we will come."

"Please rest assured, we will definitely protect the Soul Return Grass."

Seeing Aquaman answering seriously, Mona walked over and pulled Aquaman aside, and then grabbed Chief Mu.

"You two, now is the time to consider the mermaid princess."

Aquaman blushed and seemed very restrained, rubbing his hands back and forth continuously.

"Miko-sama, this joke is not funny at all!"

"She has transformed into a mermaid with legs like an orc, and her offspring will also have legs. Don't be bound by her mermaid identity. If you like her, go for it. Don't wait until later to regret it."

The Sea King and Chief Mu looked at each other, and then secretly glanced at the beautiful mermaid princess. Feeling happy, the Sea King and Chief Mu said to Mona in unison:

"Miko-sama, please go and tell them for us."

After they finished speaking, they both lowered their heads silently. They looked like innocent boys. Mona asked with a grin.

"What's the matter? Two big males are shy."

"Hehehe! The mermaids are a matriarchal tribe. They are the ones who choose their partners, and no partner chooses them. So you should go and act as a matchmaker."

Elder Guiyuan explained, and Mona nodded with a smile. He walked over to the princess, pulled her aside, and whispered softly in her ear.

"Princess, we are about to set off back to the East Continent, but there is something I want to discuss with you here."

"Miko-sama, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. As long as I can do it."

"Really? Then I'll be blunt."

"Please speak. The entire mermaid tribe is at your disposal!"

"Hahaha! It's not a serious matter, it's a good thing, and a happy occasion!"

The mermaid princess was a little confused and nodded following Mona's rhythm.

"I want you and Chief Mu, the Sea King, to become partners. From now on, the three of you will lead the Sea Clan together and support each other."

After hearing this, the eldest princess was shocked. She opened her mouth wide with an incredible expression. Mona reached out and pinched her face, and then she reacted.

"This, this, this. Will they agree?"

"You idiot, you still don't believe me? They asked me to ask you. They've liked you for a long time, and because you're a mermaid princess, they feel you're not worthy of them."

"No way, I just got two legs and became an orc. Before, I was a disabled beast. I didn't even dare to dream about it."

"Alright, don't be so self-deprecating. It's a happy decision now. We're just waiting for the three of you to get married!"

Mona happily pulled the mermaid princess to the side of the Sea King and Chief Mu, and put their hands tightly together. She said earnestly:

"Pick a day for you two to form a couple. After you form a couple, we will return to the East Continent to find the three elders. All affairs of the Sea Clan will be left to you three to take care of, of course, this also includes the group of sea monsters and guardian beasts in the Sea Valley. Now I will have to work hard for you."

"Thank you, Miko-sama."

Everyone returned to the Sea King's Palace amidst laughter and joy. The sea tribes and the mermaids all knew that their three kings were about to marry, and they were extremely excited. They decorated the Sea King's Palace with pink mermaid silk hangings everywhere. Bright red corals lined the sides of the Sea King's Hall, and the walls were inlaid with shimmering pearls.
