Chương 508: Stone Fruit (1)

After breakfast, feeling bored, Bai Qingqing went to look at the waterhole.

The water wheel made clicking noises as it spun, like a worn and rusty piece of machinery.

A layer of ice had formed over the bamboo and was extending inwards. If left to its own devices, it would become completely sealed sooner or later. Most of the water surface had turned to ice, and ripples could only be seen on the iceless surface near the water wheel.

"Bluepool?" Bai Qingqing tossed a pebble into the water.

Very quickly, a blue merman floated to the surface and gazed at her with misty eyes.

Bai Qingqing suddenly realized something was amiss. "Isn't your nest inside? How did you know I'd come?"

"I was sleeping under the water wheel, so I can see any beastman who walks by. I only constructed that nest for the female to live in." Bluepool smoothed his blue hair, which spread out in the water in a vibrant and flowy manner like seaweed.
