The scared mermaid, Aria looked at the big "fish" that was drifting (Standing?) still before her. She just didn"t know what to do.What would you do if you encounter a very big "fish" that was most likely a carnivore while outside your home village where currently no one is?
Scream? Denied, she can"t do that as it may anger the fish.
Run? Denied, she is too scared to swim away.
As she didn"t know what to do, the gigantic fish suddenly opened it"s mouth scaring the c.r.a.p out of the little mermaid as she covered her face with her arms and closed her eyes while praying in her mind that someone would come to help her.
Some seconds pa.s.sed and nothing happened, Aria opened her eyes a little bit peeking to if it was coming to eat her but something dumbfounded her entirely.
A man came out of the fish"s mouth. Okay, cultivators exist, but someone coming out of a gigantic fish"s mouth is a bit unbelievable.
The man was surprisingly young, maybe some years older than her. Short black hair that was a bit unexpected but not that rare in the mermaid race.
His face was the most handsome face that she ever has seen, it looked quite devilish yet you could feel the laziness from it.
But she didn"t blush while most mermaids would probably do. Why? Because she was too scared to blush and actually why would she blush just because seeing a handsome face?
The gigantic fish may actually be the pet of this man. So she didn"t dare to do anything unnesscary.
...
Meanwhile at Adam was thinking if he was that scary? The girl suddenly felt scared just because he arrived... Why?
Adam then stopped thinking about it, it required too much of his effort. Maybe he would realize it like back at the entrance to Glory city when he arrived with his miniature army of magical beasts.
Adam didn"t beat around the bush and said to the mermaid that was too scared to move before him.
""So, mind showing me around?""
The silence was going on for a few seconds when the bubble bursted.
""ah yes!"" Shouted Aria when processing what the man said. She led him to her village with a polite att.i.tude.
Adam was surprised that mermaids are surprisingly welcoming even though they are scared, she was also quite polite when talking to him. "Wait, is it because she is scared that she will guide me?" Again Adam stopped thinking about it, what matters now is that he found a polite guide.
When walking around with the guide he found, Adam was amazed by the mermaid village. The whole village was luminated by corals that gives off light or sea creatures that looked like sea cuc.u.mber that was also giving off a quite bright light.
The mermaid village was all the time luminated instead of the pitch black darkness on the surface.
The mermaid guide that was showing her village to him was still having cold sweat on her back every time when she looked above her.
The gigantic fish was swimming along with them, although it was far above of them, she still could see it despite being a normal mortal without cultivation. She always had a good eyesight from birth resulting that she could see hydro"s appearance when it was swimming along with the.
While guiding the unknown man, she would every time receive some comments from pa.s.serby"s if that man was her boyfriend, she denied every time she heard it.
It was the truth and she didn"t want to end as fish food so she denied with more effort. In the mermaid society it wasn"t that great with discrimination as cross-breeding with other races are still accepted as when mermaids mate with other races, the offspring will always be a mermaid even if the female isn"t a mermaid.
So it didn"t matter to them but n.o.bles and royalty doesn"t accept other races in their blood as they say it will taint their blood, in fact they also don"t accept other mermaids of lower status so other races are even more forbidden.
After a few hours of touring, Aria became quite tired of all the talking about historic things or future projects that will be builded after some time.
So then, something happened that she didn"t want to happen.
Two mermaids came walking to them with expensive cloths and when talking about mermaid clothes are sh.e.l.ls covering their b.r.e.a.s.t.s and with man they have thin cloth made of commonly found materials on the seabed level or even somewhat deeper when digging.
Although 2 sh.e.l.ls for mermaids looked plain they add accessoires to their bodies such as necklaces, rings or wristbands that the humans also do.
So, why did she not want to encounter them? The most important reason is that they could anger the man she is guiding and they allways bully her just because she is a bit more beautiful than them.
Bullsh*t, what about being more beautiful? Men are swarming you like schools of fishes so why bother to bully me?
Just because my family condition isn"t the best you will redicule me and while you do that you also flaunt of your expensive "clothes" just to express your superiority. Is it that fun? But she couldn"t do anything.
They are above bronze core realm while she was just a mere mortal without any cultivation. How can she fight against them? It was no different from seeking death. She just wanted an undisturbed life, helping her family and marrying a lovely man where she would spend her life with and yet why do they need to disturb her from everything!?
If they are just normal people then it wouldn"t be that troubling but they have a giant backing! If she would injure them (That she can"t even do) then her life would be ruined, her family may be killed or she would be kidnapped and be sold as a slave!
But enough of their and her background story as the most important thing is not angering the man behind her. Although she didn"t know how strong he is but based on that gigantic "fish" is following his every order it looks like he is a bigshot from somewhere on the surface.
Most aquatic creatures of this size can alone kill silver core realms with one bite even without cultivation and what would happen if they cultivate? The bigshots in the mermaid race wouldn"t even dare to provoke one without good reason.
So the man has one under his command, it"s cultivation strength is unknown but looking at his background it would be most likely nutured to ensure his safety or just it would be a disgrace if they owned a weak subordinate.
If it would be the former then the background of this man may be as big as the bigshots in their race. If it"s the latter then it would spell doom to their entire race! Well, at least to her!
Aria gnashed her teeth in anger when remembering her past but she needed to focus.
The two mermaids approached Aria ignoring Adam who was beside her.
""Oh my, look who it is"" Said a mermaid with fiery red hair colour and fiery red tail.
""Isn"t it Aria, the poorest fishs.h.i.t?"" Said the other one with white hair and white tail.
Aria holded her anger in and ignored the two of them while guiding Adam through the final part of their village.
The two mermaids got angry when they were ignored by some mere fishs.h.i.t as they immediately launched a punch towards Aria out of frustration.
Yet before they landed a clean hit their wrist are grabbed by a stranger.
""How can you be so hot blooded when someone just ignored you?"" Said Adam while frowning. Although he didn"t want to in interfere with personal matters but someone of the bronze core realm punching a mortal will be very fatal to the mortal. It wouldn"t even be surprising that she would die.
""Let us go you commoner, don"t you know us? If your not letting go then your life will be ruined!"" Said the mermaid with fiery red hair and tail colour struggling to get her hand free.
Being tough huh? ""Commoner? Don"t you know who I am mortal? My life will be ruined? I think you can say good-bye to your life!"" Said Adam with a bit cringey expression.
"Nope, I can"t act arrogant at all. The lazy way is the best" Adam flicked his fingers as Hydro descended right above them with a scary look looking at the two mermaids.
Seeing the scared expression on the two mermaids that just were acting tough almost peed their tail as they froze watching the huge creature.
They truly kicked a tough fish this time. Not even their backing could tame one of these huge creatures as their strength is just too high and yet someone who was just wandering in this backwater place has one under his command.
No matter how you look at it, it is their misfortune.
""Come, act tough again"" Said Adam while saying in his mind why he still continued his act of arrogance. Although it is a bit fun I guess? Seeing someone offend you when they get fish slapped pretty hard back and it is even cooler when he has Hydro.
""N-no, we"re very sorry f-for off-offending y-your holiness"" Said the white haired mermaid with fear written on her face.
""Y-yes, we"re v-very sorring for offending y-your holiness"" The fiery red haired mermaid also apologized with fear written on her face.
Aria stood behind Adam with a surprise expression on her face. The two haught, arrogant and stupid b.i.t.c.hes that were constantly targeting her for the pettiest reason that you could think of are now scared and groveling before the man that she simply guided with cold sweat on her back.
Adam then thought that nothing good can come out as he waved his hand signaling Hydro to kill them.
With one bite it was over, their life returned to the cycle of reincarnation that probably existed.
Of course Aria was scared that just one wave of Adam"s hand two mermaids just died like that without any trouble. She also doubted that the their backing will even will avenge them as the enemy strength is too strong for they to contend against but that will spell trouble for her as they will most likely seek something to fend their anger against and that will with no doubt be her.
Well, Adam pretty much will know what will happen as he created a necklace for the mermaid called Aria.

Is what Adam decided to give her, not the best available but it"s very useful to her right?
He tossed the necklace to Aria as he stepped in Hydro"s mouth.
Aria reacted quickly and caught the necklace that was thrown, it was a very beautiful necklace with shiny small and smooth gems acted as chain and a circle as the main thing, the circle was made out of multiple gems she absolutely didn"t know about. It looked expensive though, very expensive.
Ah, there was also a letter with it.
[This necklace will protect you and your loved ones from danger]
1 sentence but it was enough, it was one thing less worrying about. Yet she collapsed on the ground. Too many things happened today, far too many that just an odinary girl can handle.
