"so you live in sea, then what are you doing here" she ask him with curiousty in her eyes.
"I-i was captured by some people, then I manage to run away from them and I end up here" her expression change, her eyes were filled with pity and sympathy.
He lower his head his whole body seem to be covered in dark clouds which make her very uncomfortable, she frown and suddenly an idea appear in her mind.
"Why don't I take you back to the sea" her voice was filled with excitement when she said that, she love sea and swimming along with the fishes.
"Huh" he was taken back for a second he forget about his facade, his face show geniune smile on his lips, making her blush.
"Okay then it's settled I will help you as nd take you back to the sea" she went to the basket and grab the needle, few minutes later she throw pair of trousers towards him.
Which she had made from her skirt, since he atleast 187 cm tall the trousers long enough to reach his knees so rather then trousers they look like shorts.
Well atleast it's better then him being naked infront of her, with that she gather all of her stuff and ask him.
"Beiyuan do you remember your way back to the sea" he nodded his head repeatedly how can he forget, but then he frown.
"But but it's too far away from here and I don't have anything to eat if I leave the river" she chuckle at his words, since he had live in the sea rather then fishes, he don't have idea of any edible wild vegetables.
"Don't worry about food I can handle that with ease" she patted her chest confidently, when she saw his expression of awe and admiration she felt proud.
"Okay now I want you to stay here and wait for me, I need to buy some stuff but you can't follow me like this" with that she turn around to leave, but found out that she can't move from her place.
Looking down she realise beiyuan is clinging to her like octopus, his lips pouting aggrievedly as he look at her like he had been wronged.
"What happened beiyuan why are you suddenly clinging to me like this" looking at the handsome face to near to her, she felt her face heating up.
"I-i-i ca-can y-you not go, w-what if you never returned to take me with you" she suddenly felt that she had great responsibility on her shoulder which she had subconsciously taken on her own will.
"Beiyuan I swear I will came back"she spoke to him gently, but looking at his hesitated look on his face, she know it's not going to be easy to convince him.
"Okay tell what do you want me to do to make you trust me" he look at her with warry gaze then walk toward the end of the cave.
He remove the stone from there and take out a piece of animal skin, he brought the animal skin to her and start unfolding it infront of her, when she saw the content inside the animal skin she was taken back.
"Huh is this" she didn't finish her sentence but look at him to confirm what she is looking at.
"This is mermaid tear pearl" okay now that was unexcepted, she had thought they are normal pearls but now looking at the black, pink. and blue pearl infront of her she hesitated.
"What's mermaid tear pearl" he look at her like he is looking at an idiot as he ask her.
"You don't know about it" she felt embarrass but still nodded her head, he hummer and start telling her about these pearls.
"When a mermaid die with full of unsettled negative emotion, she shed her life last tear which turn into pearl there's five type of pearls in this whole world, rumoured to grant weird ability to one Green pearl of sadness,
Blue pearl of grief, Pink pearl of resentment,
Black pearl of haters, Red pearl of anger.
They all grant different type of power green pearl : power of hearing, you can even hear someone heart beat from far away, if focus on that person for few seconds they can even hear there inner voice.
Blue pearl: power of bearing pressure, human can't withstand the pressure of sea if they went much dipper in the water they can fell pain and also can die, this let them bear the pressure of underwater sea.
Pink pearl: power of breathing, with this pearl even human can breath underwater.
Black pearl: power of darkness, with this they can see in dark, in other words your eyesight will be same in night as in day, not only that one can also see the darkness in one heart.
Red pearl: power of self healing, as long as someone heart is beating there injuries can be heal itself, if they had the pearl in there hand"
Her jaw drop when she heard the different ability provided by the pearls, she gulp in nervousness and ask him in curiosity.
"What happened when someone had all of these five pearl" he shook his head.
"I don't know, infact no one was able to get there hand on all of the five pearls" in other words it's very hard to find these pearls.
"What about these pearls" he nervously try to negotiate with her.
"I-i will give you the black pearl of hater first then then I will give you blue pearl of grief, when we are half there and lastly the pink pearl of resentment when we reach the sea"
She brust into laughter when she heard his clumsy try of negotiations, his face turn red from embarrassment.
"Cough cough cough okay okay I won't laugh at you but I will take blue pearl first if that's okay with you" he thought for a sec before nodding his head.
She grab the pearl and went down the mountains without looking back, he look at her tiny figure disappearing his face turn cold he walk inside the cave and look at the content under the stone.
Countless gold jewellery, jade pendants, hairpins and even gold ingots he can choose anything from it everything is very valuable but he choose to give her something one can't but even with money.
As for the reason he himself don't know at first he want to give her the jade pendants but his hand subconsciously grab the animal skin, he shook his head and decide to not think about it anymore.
