The group had been staying in Endless Blue Sea City for several days, as the aftereffects of Sword and Bone releasing their Spirit Avatars required time to slowly recover.
On the third day, seeing that the two had recovered well, Ning Bei had Da Ming set off first to find a sea area with a higher brightness than the rest.
As for himself, he wandered around Endless Blue Sea City, after all, he had never released his Spirit Avatar.
The entire Endless Blue Sea City could be said to live off the sea, with all their food, clothing, and necessities being related to the ocean.
There were houses made from the carcasses of large Soul Beasts, clothing inlaid with shells, and most of the food was seafood. Even the Soul Battle Arena was a large enclosed area of the ocean.
Unknowingly, he arrived at a village by the sea. Ning Bei slowly walked in, the villagers were in groups of three or five processing their harvest from the sea, the fishy air making him frown.
Suddenly, a group of small children in the distance caught his attention.
Most of these children were eight or nine years old, and they were surrounding another child, throwing stones at her from time to time, muttering to themselves.
It wasn't until Ning Bei got closer that he heard their shouts.
"Beat this monster to death, she's the one who caused my father to be bitten by a Shark when he went out to sea."
"That's right, beat this jinx to death."
"That's right, get out of the village if you don't want to die."
Ning Bei listened to the harsh shouts and looked towards the center of the crowd, wanting to see what kind of person the children were calling a monster.
This look was not good, it startled him.
Because the girl surrounded by the crowd did not look human at all.
Her deep yellow pupils were like those of a fish, she had spikes on the top of her head, and the skin exposed outside her clothes was dark green, with terrifying scales growing on it. Her elbows also had fins, but her lower body was no different from humans.
It was too far-fetched to say that the other party's appearance was human, no wonder the surrounding children would bully her together, people always have the deepest malice towards the different.
However, the other party's origin made Ning Bei a little curious. He pulled over a little brat who was watching the fun, and with a puzzled expression on his face, took out a Gold Soul Coin and threw it into his hand.
The little radish head took the Gold Soul Coin and was slightly stunned.
"Sir, what can I do for you?"
"Why are you bullying this child, can you tell me?"
The little boy said with a matter-of-course expression:
"She's just a monster, isn't it right for us to bully her?"
"Then can you tell me her origin? If you explain it clearly, this Gold Soul Coin will be yours."
The little boy's eyes lit up.
"Really? Sir."
Ning Bei nodded affirmatively, waiting for his explanation.
The little boy scratched his head, a little anxious, as if he didn't know where to start.
"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient to say?"
"Sir, it's not that, it's just that we don't know her specific origins very well. We only know that her mother went out to sea once, and when she came back, she gave birth to this monster."
"We don't know who the father of this monster is. The adults in the village say that this monster was born from her mother's affair with a Soul Beast from the sea."
Ning Bei nodded slightly after listening to the little boy's explanation, and after thinking for a while, he felt that this was really possible.
Before long, shouts came from behind, calling the children home for dinner.
The little boy in front of him pointed to the Gold Soul Coin in his hand and looked timidly at Ning Bei.
"Sir, my parents told me to go home for dinner, this Gold Soul Coin..."
"It's okay, you can take it!"
"Thank you, sir."
With Ning Bei's approval, the little boy put the Gold Soul Coin in his pocket and hopped away.
The crowd dispersed, and the strange girl who had been lying in the center got up, patted the dust off her body, and slowly walked away, her expression very indifferent, as if she was used to all this.
Ning Bei thought for a while and quickly blocked her path.
Seeing the man in front of her, the fish-girl was slightly stunned, then sighed, and then lay on the ground again, hugging her head.
"Hurry up, I still have to go back to eat."
The girl's words made Ning Bei frown. Do I look like such a boring person?
"Get up, I'm not here to bully you. Can you tell me about yourself?"
Hearing this, the girl quietly revealed her deep yellow pupils, looked Ning Bei up and down, and found that he was indeed not with those children. Then, she stood up again and walked away.
"What's so good about asking about my affairs? I'm just a monster."
Ning Bei looked at the departing girl, sighed slightly, and then slowly followed her footsteps.
The two of them arrived at a thatched hut near the sea, one in front of the other. Before entering the house, the girl turned her head and saw that Ning Bei was still following her, and a trace of vigilance appeared in her eyes.
"What are you doing following me?"
Ning Bei knew that she was unwilling to mention her experiences, so he didn't say much nonsense, and directly flashed into the house.
The girl looked at him anxiously.
"Why are you like this..."
But before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Ning Bei.
"What's your name?"
"Huh?"
The girl stared blankly at the man in front of her, wondering if this person was sick.
After a while, Ning Bei saw that the dazed girl didn't answer him, and asked again:
"What's wrong? Don't you even have a name?"
The girl then came back to her senses and gave Ning Bei a complicated look.
"Aren't you afraid of me? I am a being who brings disaster to others."
Ning Bei smiled disdainfully. What disaster could affect a quasi-Titled Douluo like him?
"That's just an excuse people make for the misfortunes that happen to them."
The girl's eyes lit up slightly upon hearing this, but then dimmed again.
"I don't have a name. My mother died not long after giving birth to me. You've seen my appearance; I am indeed a monster."
Ning Bei thought to himself that this child must have been in a repressive environment for too long, to the point where she had begun to deny herself. He decided not to continue the topic.
"Do you have a Spirit?"
The girl smiled mockingly upon hearing this.
"Do you think anyone would awaken a Spirit for a monster like me?"
Ning Bei nodded. It seemed she hadn't awakened her Spirit yet. If she was truly the offspring of a high-level Soul Beast and a human, then she should have good talent.
Without further ado, Ning Bei directly used his Soul Power to stimulate the Spirit within the girl's body.
The girl panicked for a moment, not knowing what the other party was going to do to her.
Seeming to see her thoughts, Ning Bei's voice slowly sounded.
"Don't panic, try to guide the power in your body. I will awaken your Spirit for you."
With Ning Bei's cultivation, he no longer needed to use an Awakening Stone to assist; he could directly use his Soul Power.
The girl slowly closed her eyes upon hearing this and began to guide the power in her body. She only felt warmth all over, as if something was about to emerge from her body.
Soon, a siren's chant rang out behind the girl, which was her Spirit.
The appearance of this Spirit almost made Ning Bei's eyes pop out.
The Spirit was entirely emerald green, with horns like the girl's on its head, a sea-blue gem embedded in its forehead, and a mermaid-like tail instead of legs. It held a verdant scepter in its hands, the head of the scepter being a golden ring.
This Spirit was an unknown Spirit in Douluo Continent, but Ning Bei was very familiar with it.
"Damn, isn't this Nami? Or rather, the Tidecaller?"
