Summary
The day she climbed out of the water, only Willy had seen and therefore only he believed the truth of her arrival. "Like the stories they tuck children to bed with," he had said, "just up and rose from the foam."
And it was true, or rather it had to be true. By the time Harvey really thought to examine the details of the whole ordeal, three months had swum lazily past and the peak of summer was soon arriving. No, she did not wash up on shore, as they all had suspected Willy actually meant when he told them of her pale skin–so clear that he swore he could trace all her veins and the outline of her heart. She had walked to it.

Shen Yuan has just enough braincells to remembers his gripes of the story and perhaps the will enough to live. Hopeful this new shizun will keep this white lotus- er, white pearl Luo Binghe happy and healthy with the rest of the cast!

Summary
“So you are-?”
“Sigh. Yes, I’m a merman, yes I can speak Japanese, although it’s my third and least favorite language, so bare with me. Yes I’m very beautiful, thank you for noticing. And yes, I’m stuck between the fallen trees because of last night's storm. No, it’s not painful, but it’s not comfortable either. Could you stop standing around and help me out, I promise I won’t eat you. Unless you are into that. Because I could if I wanted to, but I won’t.”

Summary
The merman's hands are bound in thick ropes, even from this distance he can see that the powerful, glimmering tail is tightly constricted in a space too small and cruel for something so unearthly, his muscular torso that is peppered with shimmering scales and tail are bound in barbed wires, making the deities every movement and breath push barbs deeper into his skin, threatening to peel of scales, it’s a stark contrast to the freedom of the sea he belongs to, and it’s an admonition of the cruelties of humans, no other species could be so inhuman to cause this damage.
TLTR: The foxes are pirates who meet Neil the merman and have some adventures together while facing their common enemy

Summary
"This," the king replies, his voice low and resonant, like a priest before the mass, "is our key to immortality."
"... Our?" Mydeimos echoes. He follows his father's gaze back to the merman, whose fair beauty is now marred by the sharp glint of bared teeth, a silent snarl behind the layers of glass. Those blue eyes hold his once more, far too weary, too distrustful.
Those eyes spark a memory Mydeimos cannot place—a fleeting image of blue skies and cotton clouds stretching above fields of gold, of a man with soft eyes and a bright voice.
Young Prince Mydeimos finds a captive merman in their castle dungeon. He doesn't understand why this merman wears the face of the spectre who haunts his dreams.
