The mermaid corpse was pressed tightly against the ground by the monk's robe, shaking incessantly.
Sangmo walked over.
It must have initially mistaken Sangmo for the corpse in the coffin, which was why it clung to her continuously.
Late, after Sangmo lifted the lid of the coffin, it saw the body lying properly within and realized Sangmo was not the corpse that had been lying beside it, thus it became ferocious.
But looking at its figure, Sangmo felt, as though she had seen it somewhere before.
She squatted down, reached out to support its chin, and forced it to lift its face.
In the glow of the Luminous Pearl, the mermaid corpse's greenish-black skin was smooth and delicate; its crimson eyes shone like gems, the nose bridge was tall, and the lips were well-defined.
If one ignored the layer of fish scales on the face, it rather resembled someone she had seen before.
Sangmo was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in surprise, "Xue Song?!"
