【That night.】

    【After Su Yao learned that Ye Yu didn’t mind her being a sea demon, her heart was overjoyed.】

    【She immediately embraced Ye Yu tightly.】

    【As their feelings deepened, they returned to Su Yao’s room and earnestly practiced the calligraphy of the Kun character.】

    【At the same time, Ye Yu learned the water nymph’s method of writing with a brush.】

    【They studied diligently.】

    【The next morning.】

    【Su Yao took the initiative to explain everything to Ye Yu.】

    【Su Yao’s father had originally been the clan leader of water nymphs.】

    【He led many water nymphs and lived in a sea area two hundred miles from the islands.】

    【They led a peaceful and undisturbed life.】

    【Everything was very calm.】

    【But later, as time passed, a water nymph named Su Qiao conspired with Yang Qi, the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon to obtain the clan leader position.】

    【He killed Su Yao’s father.】

    【Upon receiving the news, Su Yao’s mother immediately arranged for trusted aides to plan sending the young Su Yao out of the sea area.】

    【She also handed over the clan leader’s token, the Naiad Order, to Su Yao.】

    【The Naiad Order, besides being proof of the water nymph clan leader’s identity, was also a high-grade artifact.】

    【It could transform water nymphs into human form, allowing them to have legs like humans.】

    【Not long after Su Yao left the camp, Su Qiao arrived with murderous intent.】

    【As a water nymph, he knew very well the importance of the Naiad Order.】

    【So he relentlessly pursued Su Yao.】

    【In the end, at the cost of all his trusted aides being killed, Su Yao finally managed to reach the East Sea Continent, escaping Su Qiao’s pursuit.】

    【At that time, Su Yao was very young, and it was truly a miracle she survived.】

    【Later, by a stroke of fortune, Su Yao arrived at Lotus Mountain, met Daoist Geng, and became his disciple, thus finding a stable place to settle.】

    【The reason Su Yao chose Daoist Geng as her master was simple.】

    【His cultivation was not high, and he could not see through Su Yao’s true identity.】

    【As for the cultivation methods?】

    【Su Yao had never worried.】

    【The water nymph clan had its own inherited techniques. All of them were inscribed on the inheritance stones.】

    【So, during her time at the Lotus Sect, Su Yao practiced the techniques given by Master Geng during the day.】

    【Immediately, Su Yao felt a strange emotion rise in her heart.】

    【This emotion grew more intense.】

    【She also liked Ye Yu very much.】

    【She then fantasized about avenging her grievances and then returning to the Lotus Sect. With Master Geng’s blessing, they would become Dao companions.】

    【To realize this wish as soon as possible, after solidifying her Divine Transformation Realm cultivation, Su Yao returned eagerly to the East Sea region.】

    【After a fierce battle, the water nymph Su Qiao was successfully killed.】

    【She took the Naiad Order and reasserted control over the water nymph clan.】

    【But the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon Yang Qi was a difficult opponent.】

    【At first, Su Yao was no match for Yang Qi, but she managed to hold her ground. The battle continued for years, with no clear winner.】

    【During this period, Su Yao missed Ye Yu greatly and drew his portrait to alleviate her longing.】

    【Later, she heard from her companions that not all humans liked water nymphs.】

    【After all, ‘different races have different hearts,’ as the humans said.】

    【So Su Yao began to feel anxious. She wanted to meet Ye Yu but feared he might not accept her water nymph identity.】

    【Thus, she had been quite unsettled during this time.】

    【What happened next led to the current situation.】

    【However, what Su Yao hadn’t expected was that Ye Yu would end up saving her life.】

    【After hearing this account, Ye Yu finally understood the reasons behind Su Yao’s departure from the Lotus Sect.】

    【Subsequently, Su Yao said she would pass the position of Matriarch to Jiang Yue.】

    【Then she would return to the Lotus Sect with Ye Yu, living together and never leaving again.】

    【To this, Ye Yu decisively agreed.】

    【After all, while learning calligraphy had its unique pleasures underwater, Ye Yu preferred to spend more time on land.】

    【That day, Su Yao stepped down from her position as the Matriarch.】

    【As she and Ye Yu were preparing to leave the sea region, she also gave him a gift.】

    【A silver trident.】

    【This was indeed the weapon of the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon Yang Qi.】

    【Su Yao explained that she had originally planned to kill Yang Qi herself and give the trident to Ye Yu as a gift.】

    【But she didn’t anticipate what happened yesterday.】

    【So now, Su Yao could only offer it as a token of appreciation.】

    【Ye Yu looked at the trident in his hand, his expression quite strange.】

    【A sea king?】

    【I suspect you’re implying something about me, and this is the biggest evidence.】
