[The tags aren't quite right: fantasy, not xianxia; a touch of mystery, an imaginative premise, a team story, an isolated city, and the history of merfolk and humans. The main cast aren't saintly, and both heroes and villains have their wits about them. The story takes its time. The early chapters focus on establishing the world and aren't very dramatic, so please be patient. Stick with it and it gets better. Not a wish-fulfillment story.]
This is an isolated island, home to a city that has stood for a hundred years.
The island's lighthouse shines over a tranquil sea, while under the peaceful surface, undercurrents stir.
Here lie tragedies yet to be unveiled, a secret art called "Heaven's Calling," monsters beneath the tides, and an agreement that will determine the future of everyone on the island.
Five-year-old Chuan Ming is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Beneath the gloomy skies over the harbor, he clutches the creature in his arms.
"I'll see through this land of lies for you. You just need to keep sleeping, until the day I wake you."
An encounter no one could have foreseen hastens the unveiling of the truth.
Teacher: "What does one plus one equal?" Author: "If your question is about text decryption, my answer is equal to Wang... BalaBala..." Teacher: "Let me ask you what one plus one equals😠" Author: "Bala Bala..." Teacher: "I was so angry that I picked up the bench and was about to shout." Author: "equal to two" I say all this to let you know that the writing style of this book is just like a philosopher writing prose. The author can stretch two pages into one sentence😅
I thought the author would continue to persevere, but it's a pity
