Chapter 158 No wonder the sea clans in the North Sea were in such dire straits. The Mermaid clan had fragmented into several tribes and even lost its Nascent Deity stage. The last Snake Person among the Snake People was probably exceedingly powerful, but with tens of thousands of years having passed, the sea clans had likely gradually recovered their strength. Thanks to Bai Ling’s explanation, Li Su better understood the Northern Territory’s history. “What about the other sea clans?” Li Su inquired, hoping they wouldn’t cause trouble again. “I’m not entirely sure, but the Mermaid clan is in the worst state. The others are faring much better. For instance, the Snake People have become quite powerful, and the recent activities of other sea clans have increased,” Bai Ling explained. Bai Ling warned, “You should be cautious. Some sea clans have offspring with human bloodlines, and these descendants have integrated into the Northern Territory.” “Oh?” Li Su raised an eyebrow. “Are the sea clans causing trouble again?” Bai Ling clarified, “The sacred artifact from back then was shattered, but there are still fragments in the Northern Territory. They likely want to obtain them.” “The Mermaid clan didn’t participate, and they didn’t even have Nascent Divinity stage beings or any surviving royal lineage, so they aren’t eligible to enter the sea clan’s sacred temple,” she added. Bai Ling continued, and Li Su understood. The Mermaid clan must have suffered severely in that war. Li Su felt that the Mermaids were probably used as cannon fodder by the other sea clans during the conflict. Of course, the current plight of the Mermaids was also related to Bai Ling being trapped. The Mermaids wouldn’t be in such a dire state if she were still around. As they talked, Li Su couldn’t help but be entranced by Bai Ling’s beauty again. During their time on the island, Li Su and Bai Ling spent the happiest month together. It was indeed a joyful month. Li Su let go of all his worries, and during the day, he would take strolls and converse with Bai Ling. He would listen to her stories about the sea and share tales from another world. “Li Su, the Third Prince is quite unfortunate. He didn’t do anything wrong, but he got his tendons torn out by Nezha,” Bai Ling said as she walked barefoot on the beach, her feet touching the water. Li Su replied, “Nezha was just a mischievous child back then, but many humans tend to view things from their perspective.” Bai Ling nodded in agreement. Over the past month, she had grown very fond of Li Su. Initially, she approached Li Su to “borrow” his genes because of her favorable impression of him. But now, she was genuinely drawn to him, not in a physical sense, but on a deeper level. Li Su’s viewpoints and perspectives earned her admiration and respect, which positively impacted her overall state of being. The disciple of the city lord of Linhai also came to greet Li Su. However, Li Su didn’t linger in Linhai City for too long, using disguises for the visit as it was mainly for leisure. “Bai Ling, have you succeeded?” After three months, atop a breathtaking mountain, Li Su asked the question again. Bai Ling shook her head. “Not yet.” “Then let’s continue,” Li Su said, resolute, and delved back into his efforts. Several days later, Li Su and Bai Ling left the area to continue their exploration. The Northern Territory was vast and filled with stunning landscapes, with countless uninhabited areas showcasing untouched natural beauty. As they entered the seventh month, they ventured into an ordinary country. Li Su concealed his cultivation and embraced life as an ordinary mortal alongside Bai Ling. In cultivators’ eyes, mortal lifespans were incredibly short, especially from the perspective of powerful cultivators. It was as if time passed in the blink of an eye for them, during a single session of seclusion. Bai Ling was equally curious about the human world, experiencing it for the first time. “Sue, what are they doing, and why are they wearing so much red?” Bai Ling asked as she observed a wedding procession. “They are getting married,” Li Su explained. “Married?” Bai Ling’s face showed curiosity, as she had no knowledge of sea clans’ wedding ceremonies. That day, Bai Ling watched the entire wedding ceremony. As night fell, she commented, “Su, the bride’s appearance isn’t particularly outstanding, but for some reason, I feel like she looks very beautiful today.” Li Su picked her up and said, “People radiate happiness on special occasions, Bai Ling. Tonight, you’re my bride too.” Bai Ling blushed. Despite being in the Nascent Deity stage, this Mermaid had displayed the most charming and adorable aspects of herself over the past few months with Li Su, becoming increasingly endearing.
