Following a young merfolk named Xi, Gu Xing and the others navigated through the complex waterways and alleyways of Linhai City.
They arrived at a relatively remote and somewhat dilapidated area.
Xi's home was a small house built against the reef.
Pushing open the creaky wooden door, a faint scent of medicine and a damp aroma greeted them.
On a simple bed inside, lay a young merfolk girl, pale as paper and with weak breath.
Her fish tail almost lost its luster; it was Xi's younger sister.
Snow Woman gracefully stepped forward, crouching down elegantly, and gently placed her slender, jade-like fingers on the girl's cold wrist.
Her icy blue eyes slightly closed as she carefully perceived the girl's internal condition.
A moment later, she opened her eyes, a trace of seriousness flashed in her eyes, and she looked up at Gu Xing, solemnly saying:
"It's poison. A very strange, chilling toxin has already eroded her internal organs and life origin."
