The elder merfolk spoke in the human language with quite a stutter, but after a couple of sentences, he improved greatly.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, with all the merfolk watching honestly, not daring to make a sound.
Ji Yuan also stepped forward, once again cupping his hands toward the elder merfolk, before cautiously asking, "You, elder... can you speak the human language?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he realized it wasn't quite right, just as he was thinking of correcting himself, he saw the elder merfolk wave his hand.
"We were originally part of the human race; even though now transformed into the merfolk race, we are still part of the human race, why wouldn't I speak the human language?"
"Merfolk race..."
Ji Yuan recalled the books he had read, which indeed described merfolk.
But most descriptions say that fishermen saw merfolk with human bodies and fish tails at the seaside, and as soon as they were seen, they immediately returned to the sea.
