The commotion in the sea was growing, and the nearby Merfolk gathered together, staring warily at the vortex.
Not far away, Shi Wei and Xun Yu also rushed over. They shielded Su Yu and the three little wolf cubs, their expressions grave.
Su Yu stood behind Shi Wei, cautiously peeking her head out to look at the turbulent surface of the sea.
Amidst the towering waves, a tall, slender figure faintly appeared.
A male Merfolk in the sea stared at the figure, his nostrils flaring as he sniffed the air. "One of our own?" he asked, a hint of astonished uncertainty in his voice.
Watching that figure, Su Yu's heart began to beat a little faster for some reason. She pressed a hand to her chest as a thought popped into her mind.
'Could it be...'
'Huai Xu?'
Shi Wei looked at the figure, who was now significantly taller, and raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
