The heavy jade statue smashed into Kunlun and almost knocked him to the ground.
However, Kunlun held on and caught the statue.
Although he caught the statue, the waves were still washing towards him mercilessly.
Seeing that Kunlun was about to be washed down by the waves, Yu Huang gritted her teeth and swam towards Kunlun. When Estelle saw that Beatrice, Sheng Xiao, and the others were about to reach Xiao Shu and the others, he hesitated for a moment before swimming towards Kunlun. The three of them stood side by side and carried the statue while resisting the waves.
Yu Huang cursed Kunlun angrily, “Are you out of your mind? This is just a statue. So what if it falls?!”
After all, the statue wasn’t human. If it fell, so be it. Why risk his life for it?
But Kunlun said, “No, the statue can’t fall!” He sounded very stubborn.
Yu Huang gritted her teeth and cursed, “Idiot!”
After a while, the waves completely filled the entire ancient merman tomb, and the seawater gradually calmed down.
Seeing that he had regained his composure, Kunlun actually said, “I want to erect the statue again.”
Yu Huang was somewhat exasperated, and she even felt that Kunlun was too stubborn for his own good. Since he had decided to do this, he insisted on doing it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t let it go.
At that moment, Sheng Xiao and the others had already handed Beatrice to Feng Yuncheng.
Seeing that Kunlun and the others wanted to erect the statue again, they all swam back.
They gathered their spiritual power together and worked together to slowly erect the statue.
After successfully erecting the statue, Yu Huang and the others sat at the bottom of the sea and panted heavily.
“Alright, let’s go out.” After resting, Donor was anxious to leave the dark sea.
Yu Huang and the others stood up and were about to leave when Kunlun said, “Do you guys hear sounds?”
“Huh?” Everyone was surprised. “What sound?”
Kunlun’s ears twitched as he frowned and said, “It’s a child’s cry.”
A child’s cry?
Yin Rong subconsciously rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. This is the deep sea. Why would there be a child crying here?”
Could it be a ghost?
Yu Huang said, “Could it be that there are demon beasts that can let out baby cries under the deep sea?”
Hearing this, everyone immediately looked around warily, but they didn’t see any demon beasts.
“Where did the crying come from?” Sheng Xiao asked Kunlun.
Kunlun pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a moment. Then, he walked towards the statue step by step. Seeing this, Yu Huang and the others followed suit. After Kunlun arrived in front of the statue, he placed his ear on the statue’s jade surface to listen carefully.
Yu Huang and the others followed suit.
Kunlun asked them, “Did you guys hear that?”
However, Yu Huang and the others didn’t hear anything.
“Kunlun, perhaps you’re hallucinating.” Donor suspected that Kunlun was hallucinating because he had just lost his wife.
“No, it’s not an illusion.” Kunlun suddenly raised his fist and punched the jade statue hard. However, the statue only shook and didn’t break. Kunlun looked at Sheng Xiao for help. “Sheng Xiao, help me cut it down.”
Yu Huang couldn’t help but remind Kunlun, “Are you sure? You treated it like a treasure just now and were so afraid that it would fall.”
Kunlun said, “Cut it down.”
“Alright.” Sheng Xiao immediately summoned the Dragon Sword, then gathered his strength and slashed at the jade statue.
Boom!
The towering statue was cut into two at the waist by the Dragon Sword. The upper and lower bodies of the ancient merman were instantly cut into two. The merman’s chest and head slid to the bottom of the sea along the cut at the waist. Only then did Kunlun, Yu Huang, and the others swim to the waist of the ancient merman statue and look inside.
However, the deep sea was too dark for them to see anything clearly.
Everyone dived through the bone-chilling seawater to the bottom of the statue. Then, under the light of the Night-Luminescent Pearl, they actually saw a crystal ice coffin!
And the corpse of a woman lay inside the ice coffin!
“It’s Senior Na Ling’s coffin!” Only then did Yu Huang and the others realize that they had yet to discover the merman’s coffin after entering the ancient merman cemetery.
The ice coffin froze Na Ling’s face. Na Ling, who was lying in the ice coffin, looked beautiful. Kunlun gently stroked the cover of the coffin and said, “The cries came from inside.”
But there was no child inside, only Senior Na Ling’s body.
Yin Rong suddenly felt her hair stand on end.
When Yu Huang thought of the legend of the ancient merman being able to be reborn infinitely, her eyes suddenly widened as she said in disbelief, “Could it be that Senior Na Ling has really been reborn?” Just like Na Luo, Senior Na Ling could successfully be reborn after her soul rested in peace.
Yin Rong subconsciously asked, “But where is that child?”
After asking, Yin Rong noticed that Yu Huang and the others’ gazes had landed on Senior Na Ling’s abdomen.
Yin Rong couldn’t help but gasp.
“Are you guys suspecting that Senior Na Ling’s reincarnation is hidden in her stomach?”
No one answered Yin Rong’s question.
After Kunlun opened the coffin lid, the ice coffin lost its freezing effect. Senior Na Ling’s body rotted into a pile of white bones in the blink of an eye. On the abdomen of the white bones, there was really a living baby merman that was crying!
The baby had short, soft dark blue hair, fair skin, and a dark golden fishtail.
She was simply a doppelganger of Na Ling.
Seeing this little baby, everyone was stunned. Yu Huang hurriedly took off her T-shirt and with only a sports bra on, she bent down and reached into the coffin. She wrapped the little baby in the soft fabric of her T-shirt.
Yu Huang handed the baby to Kunlun. Seeing that the baby was so fragile and tiny, Kunlun didn’t dare to reach out to take it.
“She’s Na Ling, Kunlun. She’s your Na Ling.”
Only then did Kunlun carefully extend his hands and hug Na Ling firmly.
The moment Kunlun hugged Na Ling, the little merman who had her eyes closed suddenly opened her eyes. Her purple eyes stared at Kunlun curiously and attentively.
At this moment, Na Ling had just been reborn and had yet to recover her memories from her previous life.
However, she still locked onto Kunlun.
Kunlun’s eyes suddenly turned red as he called out softly, “Na Ling.”
“Whaaa!”
The little fellow’s tail trembled hard and she let out an earth-shattering cry.
When the ancient merman cried, all the demon beasts in the sea felt a headache and panicked, as if they were suppressed by some force.
“The ancient merman is angry!” When the sea rabbits who had secretly eaten the skeleton of the Kunlun Divine Master sensed that the familiar terrifying aura had awakened, they trembled. “They’re right. The ancient merman has really revived. She’s angry. She will definitely come back to take revenge on us!”
For a moment, all the demon beasts in the sea were panicking.
