Chapter 155: Chapter 155

【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.】@@novelbin@@

【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.】

【At night, she delved into water nymph secret arts.】

【With dual efforts and Su Yao’s exceptional talent, her cultivation progressed smoothly.】

【She originally thought life would continue this way.】

【Unexpectedly, Master Geng later brought back an infant from outside and named him Ye Yu.】

【The first time Su Yao saw Ye Yu, he was still in swaddling clothes.】

【Learning that Ye Yu was an abandoned baby brought from the river by Master Geng, Su Yao felt very saddened.】

【Recalling her own experiences, she was deeply moved.】

【She felt that they were very similar.】

【Both were homeless and came to Lotus Mountain. They became the only two disciples of the Lotus Sect.】

【Su Yao believed that this was a rare kind of fate.】

【Thus, she took great care of Ye Yu, treating him like a younger brother.】

【But after Ye Yu grew up, Su Yao was astonished to find that, unknowingly, their roles had reversed, and she had become the one being cared for.】

【The three spirit stones Ye Yu had at nineteen, the cultivation methods at twenty-one, and the artifacts at twenty-six.】

【Ye Yu, with all his might, gave her everything he had obtained.】

【He left nothing for himself.】

【Master Geng had once advised Ye Yu, Kinship is indeed precious, but you can’t give everything to Su Yao.】

【At least keep something for yourself. Otherwise, what about your own cultivation?】

【Ye Yu’s response was very straightforward.】

【‘Master, don’t meddle in my affairs.’】

【This answer made Master Geng so angry that he ignored Ye Yu for three days.】

【But Ye Yu remained stubborn.】

【Although Su Yao had a blood feud and, due to her water nymph identity, she was not suited for the public eye. But she did not want to gain strength by taking Ye Yu’s hard-earned results.】

【So she continuously declined.】

【But every time, Ye Yu would force her to accept.】

【It was either accept it or destroy it, so no one had it.】

【Under this threat, Su Yao could only obediently comply.】

【Moreover, she discovered that Ye Yu seemed very excited each time he gave her something.】

【It was as if he was happier than when he received treasures himself.】

【This puzzled Su Yao greatly.】

【Later, Master Geng’s words enlightened her.】

【‘That kid definitely likes you.’】

【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.】
