Bai Ju raised the corner of his mouth and stretched out his hand to gently pinch Xiao Yao’s cheek: “If you are sleepy, go to sleep first.”
Xiao Yao did not comment but waved his hand to signal Bai Ju to set off.
Old Dog Bai gave him a soothing look, then stood up and walked to the bedroom balcony, opened the window, stepped lightly on the window frame with his feet, and jumped lightly into the night, leaving a little furry man on the windowsill behind him, who closed the window again with a whoosh.
Xiao Yao let out a breath, propped himself up and sat against the head of the bed, then taking out his mobile phone, he started boredly scrolling through messages.
It’s not that he didn’t want to go out with them, he just knew what Old Dog Bai was worried about.
Although they decided to go to Haiyin Castle tomorrow to find out the truth, except for their positions in the Special Service Bureau and the Monster Management Bureau, they didn’t know much more about Haiyin Castle than ordinary warlocks. If this level of understanding could shake the permanent members of Haiyin Castle, they would have been taken in by the Warlock Association, the Monster Management Bureau, or the Special Service Bureau to work there.
Time was short, and Xiao Yao and Bai Ju didn’t want to use the blood puppet technique in Bai Ju’s hand as the only trump card. Knowing yourself and the enemy would ensure victory in a hundred battles. If Haiyin Castle didn’t cooperate with the investigation tomorrow, they needed to have to find some benefits or handles to be able to have some confidence.
Xiao Yao stroked the photo of Old Dog Bai standing in front of the fake dragon gate on the lock screen of his mobile phone, and his expression turned slightly warm.
He didn’t expect that before he discussed this with Old Dog Bai, the dog had already keenly found the breakthrough point – the mermaid A Song.
Mermaids were a kind of demon that lived in groups. They would establish a tribe in a bay with rich resources and stable climate. Once they took root, this bay would become a long-term residence for mermaids. It may change hands due to fighting between tribes, but it was rare for the tribe to be destroyed. It also meant that the historical records passed down by word of mouth by mermaids would not be interrupted.
The bay near Turtle Island was a good choice for mermaids to establish a tribe. Since little mermaids could appear here in this era, it meant that a strong enough mermaid tribe was formed here. He was afraid that the people who knew the most about Haiyin Castle were the mermaids who established the tribe here, except for the residents of Haiyin Castle.
Bai Ju was a demon king. Although he lived with humans, he was still a trustworthy object for the mermaid A Song. The mermaid A Song, who liked to eat people by nature, could accept Jing Xia, who had a colonized spirit body, as his contract object, but he may not accept other humans to cooperate with him. This was why Xiao Yao did not go with Bai Ju.
Trust could only be established based on mutual respect. Even if Bai Ju didn’t mention this today, he was going to discuss it with Old Dog Bai and ask him to run a trip tomorrow morning.
Xiao Yao was thinking absentmindedly. After a while, he raised his phone and saw his reflection on the screen. He couldn’t help but pause slightly.
He… was smiling.
Xiao Yao raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth. He suddenly realized that during the time he spent with Old Dog Bai, he smiled more times than in the past twenty years.
After he finished staying in the house for a long time, Turtle Island had basically entered its sleeping time. Only a few tourists and some cargo ships and vehicles were still operating.
A few runes were drawn on Bai Ju’s body, hiding his figure and breath. He was like a ghost, stepping on roofs, lighting branches and rocks, and lightly crossing the boundary peak of Turtle Island to a narrow and inconspicuous bay in the east of the island.
“A Song, come out.” Bai Ju landed on the sea, and in an instant, the rising tide in the bay became extremely calm, as smooth as a mirror, and it only trembled and shook out circles of ripples where Bai Ju stepped.
The mermaid A Song had the breath of Jing Xia, and Jing Xia was found by Bai Ju during the float parade, so it was not difficult for Bai Ju to find his place of residence.
Soon, a water mark was drawn on the sea surface not far away. The little mermaid A Song swam silently under the water until he was in front of Bai Ju, then it broke out of the water, floated in the original place, until half of his upper body exposed, looking up at Bai Ju: “Little mermaid greets Bai Wang.”
Bai Ju stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the water surface sank slightly. The little mermaid keenly noticed that the air here was isolated from the surroundings, and his pupils shrank slightly.
“Don’t be nervous, it’s just a soundproof hidden restriction.” Bai Ju lowered his eyelids slightly, and his dark eyes under his thick eyelashes looked cold, as if he was compassionate but also a heartless and ruthless god. He said not to be nervous, but there was no hint of warmth in his eyes that he usually had in front of Xiao Yao.
A Song just exchanged a quick glance with Bai Ju, then he involuntarily looked away and asked with a stiff face, “I wonder what Bai Wang wants to see me about?”
Bai Ju slightly restrained that uncomfortable look and turned his head to look at the rolling sea in the distance, “Let me ask you some questions. You live in this sea area. I guess there was a mermaid tribe here in the past?”
A Song breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that the scales on his tail would almost all explode by being stared at, “Yes, there was a mermaid tribe here, but the others have moved away in recent years, and now I’m the only one left.”
“Do you have a mission?” Bai Ju raised his eyebrows, “Why don’t you leave here with the others.”
“This…” A Song hesitated, then he pursed his lips, and tried to choose his words, “The tribe didn’t leave me a mission. I set my eyes on the inheritance of Haiyin Castle myself.”
“Does Jing Xia know?” Bai Ju frowned.
“He knows.” After all, A Song didn’t want to involve Jing Xia. Seeing Bai Ju ask this here, he relaxed and simply explained, “Among the latest generation of little mermaids in our tribe, I am the strongest one, but even someone like me cannot guarantee that I can differentiate into a male; in order to ensure that the next generation of leaders is not vacant, I have to find a way to absorb more power.”
“There are three generations of vampire inheritance in Haiyin Castle. Their power is more yin, which is suitable for us mermaids to absorb. Every time their inheritance altar is opened, some of the power will overflow. Our mermaid tribe secretly built a small formation in this bay. By drawing some of the energy overflowing from Haiyin Castle, it can exceed the power I can absorb after searching for decades.”
A Song was telling the truth. Bai Ju closed his eyes and could hear that his heartbeats were basically the same as the words he said.
“You didn’t try to deceive me, you’re very good.” Bai Ju pulled the corner of his mouth, praised the little mermaid, and then restrained his expression and followed this clue to touch on the next step. “Then the inheritance of Haiyin Castle, is there anything special about the place and time where it will be opened next?”
A Song was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, “The time and place should not be special. The main thing is that someone has to start it… But there are special things. Among these three magic arrays, at least one will be opened in the thirteenth time.”
