"Chanchan!"
Ruan Chanchan paused and turned to look at the mer, who had called her name. "Yes?"
Behind her, Xie Daiyu also turned and glanced at the mer who was holding a giant leaf in his hands. From the looks of it, he was carrying what looked like Flaming Fruits. Xie Daiyu frowned when he saw the gift that the mer had brought along with him.
He suddenly had a feeling of trepidation, which only solidified when he saw the mer coming to a stop in front of Ruan Chanchan.
"Chanchan, I wanted to thank you for saving Ah Man," said the mer shyly. When Ruan Chanchan continued to look at the mer with confusion in her eyes, he softly introduced himself, "I am Hong Zao. Ah Man's brother."
Ruan Chanchan had never met this mer before, and even in the fuzzy memories of the host, there was no recollection of a mer named Hong Zao, but she still nodded and questioned, "How can I help you?"
