Chapter 2404: Slip Under One’s Nose (3)
Sure enough, the day after Satan’s aura disappeared from the merfolk’s hometown, Satan returned and
searched for Shen Yanxiao again.
At the same time, Shen Yanxiao was having Xi Yan eat the food stored in her storage ring.
She had nothing to worry about. Since Satan was willing to look for her, then let him look. In any case, she
had a lot of food and was not afraid that the two of them would starve to death.
After waiting quietly for ve days, Satan disappeared completely. Shen Yanxiao, who had been staying in
the secret room, nally breathed a sigh of relief.
Satan’s departure had nally given Shen Yanxiao time to observe her power of the merfolk, a large part of
which was related to the sea water.
After a little familiarity, Shen Yanxiao tried to contact Vermillion Bird through their spiritual link, but she
found that although she could vaguely sense him, she could not make any contact with Vermillion Bird.
Although Satan’s aura had disappeared, Shen Yanxiao did not dare to make a move yet. During this
period of time, she worked hard to learn her skills as a mermaid. Although Xi Yan never contacted the
outside world, as a multicolored mermaid, she knew more about the ability of merpeople than many
others. She often told Shen Yanxiao some of the information she knew.
Shen Yanxiao learned that if merpeople wanted to train, they must rely on the strength of the sea,
absorbing the sea power little by little and lling themselves up.
Xiu was still in a deep slumber, and Satan had already left. If Shen Yanxiao wanted to unlock the
remaining layers of the seal, she could only rely on herself.
Already accustomed to the boredom of practicing alone, even if Shen Yanxiao stayed indoors in the secret
room, she didn’t feel anything inappropriate. Meanwhile, Xi Yan was very quiet and just habitually liked to
wander around this new mermaid. As long as she felt the aura of Shen Yanxiao, she would feel very at
ease.
The two mermaids, who were very familiar with the silence, stayed in the small secret room for three
months.
In three months, Shen Yanxiao, solely relying on her own strength, unlocked the second and third layers
of the seal.
When the third layer of the seal was lifted, Shen Yanxiao was nally able to make spiritual contact with
Vermillion Bird.
On the island, Vermillion Bird, who was lying on the sandy shore while basking in the sun, suddenly heard
Shen Yanxiao’s voice appearing once again in his spiritual world. He suddenly jumped up and was
pleasantly surprised.
“Ah, ah, ah!!! You nally made a sound! You dead woman!” Vermillion Bird growled excitedly. Although he
didn’t think Shen Yanxiao would be in any danger, he really hated the feeling of being disconnected from
her. He always felt as if something was missing and his heart was empty.
Hearing the vibrant voice of Vermillion Bird, Shen Yanxiao couldn’t help laughing.
“Calm down, I have something to tell you. After you hear it, you will understand how dicult it is for me to
contact you right now.”
“Humph! You are just looking for excuses! It has been a few months since you disappeared! Can’t you
swim through the sea and tell me? Do you know I am worried about you, you dead woman!?” Vermillion
Bird sounded very arrogant but had a hint of worry in his tone. He was very unhappy! If it weren’t for his
fear of the sea, Vermillion Bird would have plunged into the water to catch this unscrupulous master who
liked to disappear when she had nothing better to do.
However, what Shen Yanxiao told him next shocked Vermillion Bird completely.
Vermillion Bird stood on the shore, dumbfounded. He stared at the vast ocean in front of him and his
eyes were lled with disbelief.
