This was the largest house on the mainland, and the only one with two floors. The outside was still covered with vines, and only by walking inside could one see the specific building materials and internal structure.
Inside the house, Chu Han and Yu Yongnan sat facing each other, while Soft Yu was on the second floor. It was said that no one was allowed to enter there, it was the saintess's private space.
At that moment, Chu Han had not recovered from the shock, especially when he recalled how the mermaids had come ashore. Their tails had gradually separated, and their scales had turned into skin before disappearing. They had completely turned into two legs.
On one hand, it was incredible, and on the other hand, Chu Han's blood boiled when he saw the long legs and private area. On the other hand, Chu Han's mind was blank from beginning to end.
Now he finally understood why these people were dressed so strangely, it was convenient to take off and put on!
"Are you stupid?" Yu Yongnan passed a glass of water to Chu Han. The blue liquid was unknown.
Chu Han took a sip, but it was unexpectedly delicious. It was smooth and refreshing, as if it could wash away the impurities in his body, and even his fatigue was swept away.
"What is this?" The surprised Chu Han couldn't help but ask.
"Silver Purified Water, a specialty of ours, refined from a plant in the deep sea."
Yu Yongnan smiled foolishly, as if he was still the big guy that was beaten up by Chu Han several times.
"Amazing." Chu Han was very clear that the value of this thing was not low, he had the most intuitive feeling.
"You like it?"
Yu Yongnan said casually, "Then I'll get some for you, you can take it with you when you leave. We have a lot of this thing here, especially after not coming back for thousands of years, the bottom of the surrounding sea is full of it."
"Okay."
Chu Han gave Yu Yongnan a meaningful look. Silver Purified Water seemed to have the effect of eliminating fatigue, and the effect was immediate. If this thing could be used on the battlefield, then the battle power of his Wolf Fang Regiment would increase by another level.
The Yu Clan did not like war, and Yu Yongnan couldn't understand the meaning in Chu Han's eyes, so he simply shouted and ordered people to pick it.
"You said your clan hasn't returned here for a thousand years?"
Chu Han began to get to the main point. He couldn't help but feel his heartbeat quicken. What he had encountered today was something he had never known about in his previous life.
"That's right."
Yu Yongnan nodded seriously and said: "This is the Yin Yang Valley, to be exact, the Yin Valley is the true home of our Yu Clan!"
"Then what do you mean by being sealed?" Chu Han asked.
Yu Yongnan shook his head: "I only know that this place was sealed for some reason a thousand years ago. At that time, one of our Yu Clan's branches happened to be outside of this sea area. After discovering that there was a natural barrier that prevented us from returning home, we could only bring our clansmen to live on other coasts. In the end, the place we chose was the Fish Village that you've been to before."
"One of them?" Chu Han immediately caught the keyword.
"Yes, we are just a branch of the Water Race."
Yu Yongnan continued: "A thousand years ago, there were still many Water Race people living here, but when we returned, we found that there was no one here. Our clansmen had all disappeared, only leaving behind the ruins and houses from a thousand years ago."
"Then what happened in these thousand years?" Chu Han's tone was solemn. He felt as if he had unearthed the deepest secret of Earth.
"No one knows. As the leader of the Yu Clan, of course I want to find out."
Yu Yongnan sighed as he spoke: "Unfortunately, no traces were left. It was as if they disappeared into thin air. Even the statue of the Water Race Goddess is gone."
"The Water Race Goddess?" Chu Han's eyes narrowed.
"Yes." Yu Yongnan smiled: "Our Yu Clan is also the first generation Saintess of the entire Water Race."
Hearing this, Chu Han suddenly noticed something strange: "Wait a moment, the Yu Clan and the Water Race …"
"The Yu Clan is a branch of the entire Water Race. There are also other clans in the Water Race." Yu Yongnan explained.
"Then …" Chu Han's eyes lit up: "Is the Saintess the Yu Clan's Saintess, or?"
"It's the Saintess of the Water Race. There is only one." Yu Yongnan said.
Boom!
Chu Han's mind went blank. He finally understood why Yu Yongnan had such a shocked expression when he heard Chu Han call Yu Rou by her name.
The Yu Clan was only a branch of the Water Race. It was still an astronomical number to know how many clans there were in the Water Race. But there was only one Saintess.
The only Saintess of the entire Water Race!
"Wait a moment, how do you know that she is definitely the Saintess of the Water Race?"
Chu Han suddenly felt that this logical explanation didn't make sense: "Hasn't there been no contact with the other Water Race for thousands of years?"
"It's like this."
Yu Yongnan explained: "The Saintess of the Water Race will only appear among the daughters of the leaders of each branch. Furthermore, the leaders of each branch will only have sons and not daughters. Once a daughter is born, she will definitely be the Saintess of this generation."
"And the Saintess' fishtail must be golden. Only the Saintess will be golden, just like the Water Race's Goddess."
Saying this, Yu Yongnan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "When my sister was born, the entire clan rejoiced. But after the Shiba year, my sister still couldn't transform her tail. We all thought that it was because our Yu Clan had lived outside for too long that our Water Race bloodline had thinned and we were no longer orthodox Water Race people. But who would've thought that not long ago, when we finally returned to the ancestral home, my sister transformed her tail on that very day. All the specialties of the Saintess appeared on her."
Transforming her tail was the process of turning her legs into a fishtail.
"The most important point."
Saying this, Yu Yongnan solemnly said: "Only the Saintess can control water, and my sister was able to do so after returning here!"
Hearing this, Chu Han couldn't help but feel amazed: "Could it be that there's something different in Yin Yang Valley?"
Yu Yongnan smiled bitterly: "I don't know either. What I've said is the clan's secret history that is passed down to the next Patriarch. However, my father, who was the previous Patriarch, died a violent death, so I didn't receive much inheritance. Many things were pieced together, and most of them were told to me by the Grand Elder."
"Your clan's secret history? You're telling me?" Chu Han couldn't help but be surprised.
"You're the benefactor that allowed our Yu Clan to return here. I've obtained the Saintess' permission to tell you this."
Yu Yongnan said: "You must know that in the past thousand years, our clansmen had tried countless times, but they couldn't even get close to this sea. When the apocalypse erupted, we were forced to move to land. It was you who brought us back to Yu Village and protected us for a night, allowing us to peacefully carry out our sacrifice."
"The heavens do not disappoint those who persevere, we finally succeeded. We successfully broke the seal and returned to the sea that we should be living in!"
