SFS Chapter 205 Mermaid
Chapter 205 Mermaid
Thank you!
Lou Xiyue knew this was a well-intentioned reminder from the two of them.
"Please continue to take care of me in the future."
"Let's look after each other!"
Lou Xiyue didn't say anything more to the two of them and walked out directly.
Ji Se stared at Lou Xiyue's retreating figure.
"Is this young master of the building reliable?"
Cheng Nan expressed strong doubt.
Sharing your methods with others carries risks, especially if the person is someone you trust; otherwise, you could face significant trouble later on.
"Don't worry, don't you know what kind of judgment Tu Shan has? She has a sharp eye! I'm just wondering why she suddenly wants to add more people."
"That's true. She doesn't even respect the three Supreme Elders. Anyone who can get her through must be of good character."
Cheng Nan nodded, indicating his agreement.
"The malice that the Wood element originally harbored towards people will likely become even more pronounced now that her cultivation has improved."
Can you feel this difference?
"Yes! Most cultivators can do it to some extent, it's just more obvious with wood element. I've looked at the items being auctioned today, and there's nothing I want to buy."
"Senior brother, you didn't come for yourself, you came for the sect."
Ji Se almost rolled her eyes. Perhaps because of his improved strength, Cheng Nan was different from his previous cautious self; he was now more cheerful than before.
"Hehe! The sect asked us to bid for the Starry Sky Stone. Do you think with her around, our little bit of spirit stones can compete with her?"
Ji Se: "Another day of envying rich women."
Soon, a cage was carried out onto the auction stage, and a waiter lifted the curtain.
A creature with the lower half of a fish and the upper half of a little girl huddled listlessly in its cage.
"What is this? Is she a human, a fish, or a descendant of both?"
"Is there something special about this little girl? Could she help improve one's cultivation level?"
"No, how can a human and a fish unite? Do they cultivate together using their willpower?"
“What do you know? I’ve heard that this is a very ancient race, dating back 100,000 years. I’ve also heard that their songs have a hallucinogenic effect and their tears can dispel inner demons.”
Lou Qing nodded in satisfaction: "This fellow Daoist is right. She is the legendary mermaid. We have not verified whether her tears are a sacred medicine, but her singing does have a hallucinogenic effect."
She was accidentally captured by the people of Miluo Star Sea. Because Miluo Star Sea is surrounded by islands, they were worried that sending her back into the sea would cause misunderstandings among the sea creatures.
As for locking her in the cage, it was a last resort. The cage has the function of isolating people from the illusion; if she were to appear outside, it would quickly drive people mad and leave them with deep-seated psychological trauma.
After Lou Qing finished speaking, the people below immediately began to discuss among themselves.
"This Lingbao Pavilion isn't afraid of getting into big trouble, daring to bring in sea beasts for auction, and isn't afraid of causing chaos throughout the world."
"What's the big deal about this causing chaos in the world? Monsters killing people and people killing monsters is perfectly normal!"
“But auctioning it off would be somewhat insulting to animals.”
"Isn't the sea monsters surrounding the island a provocation against us humans? If you ask me, let's just fight them directly. Whether we live or die, it's better to resolve it sooner rather than cause this panic."
Tu Shan gazed at the mermaid below, her mind blank.
She didn't want to cause any trouble.
If she takes a picture, and then has a mermaid by her side, her identity will be easily exposed.
She wouldn't do anything that wouldn't bring her any benefit.
"Master, quickly take a picture of her!"
"I won't film!"
Tu Shan never expected that Dan could actually speak. This man, who had been so obedient for the past ten years and hadn't even dared to beg for mercy, had actually managed to get him to speak and save a mermaid.
This mermaid seems to be quite something!
"Master, don't you want a sea beast? In case you need to go to Miluo Star Sea in the future, she can be of help."
"If you're not going to get to the point, shut up! I don't want to hear it!"
Tu Shan knew he was hiding something, so she rarely went along with him.
Dan paused for a moment, then said, "She has ancient bloodline! She is not an ordinary mermaid. Once her bloodline is activated, she will become the queen of mermaids."
"Are you trying to send me to my death? Since her bloodline is so important, do you think her people will let go? I already can't sleep at night with Rong Lü, this ticking time bomb, by my side. Do you want me to set off another one?"
Tu Shan rolled her eyes. Was Dan trying to get revenge on her?
"One bomb will explode, two bombs will explode, but most importantly, I have a feeling that your contract with her can activate your bloodline."
"I think your premonition is wrong! Don't think about it anymore."
Tu Shan directly blocked Dan; she didn't want to cause any trouble.
"He's right. Forming a contract with me will not only activate your bloodline, but also the bloodline of the person next to you, and even my own!"
Suddenly, a gentle yet weak voice entered Tu Shan's mind.
"Are you the Little Mermaid from above?"
"Yes, but she is just my juvenile form. I can't hold on for long. As long as I have enough energy, I can recover to my peak."
"You've activated the bloodlines of the three of us, so you're quite capable. What will you use to activate them?"
"We'll talk about that later. You should figure out a way to get me away first. It will only benefit you and not harm you. They're coming after us."
Tu Shan felt a chill run down her spine and began to suspect something.
"The condition is that if I take you out and you don't want to form a contract with me, I will suffer a great loss! I only have one contract slot, and I don't want a monster that can't fight."
"Don't worry, neither I nor the one who just spoke are on your contract list."
"Do you also want to form a soul contract with me?"
Tu Shan doubted that he had heard correctly. Wasn't a soul contract only allowed to contract with one monster?
“Soul contract? No, it’s not. He and you are just master and servant contracts from ancient times. I don’t know why you think it’s a soul contract, but I’m sure it’s not.”
"What! This Dan dares to lie to me!"
Tu Shan was furious. How dare Dan deceive her again and again.
That's practically suicide!
"No, he didn't lie to you. It must be because of your special status that your contract automatically switched to an ancient master-servant contract when he made the contract. He probably didn't even know that."
Upon hearing this, Tu Shan breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Fortunately, her life wasn't in Dan's hands.
"I'll save you just because you told me this news!"
"After you take a picture of me, go to any island in the East China Sea and we'll make a contract there."
"We'll talk about the contract later. You should rest now!"
"Alright! Now it's your turn, little girl."
Lou Qing's voice soon came: "The starting bid for the mermaid is thirty mid-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least one mid-grade spirit stone higher."
"A third-tier mermaid, the starting bid is a whopping thirty mid-grade spirit stones! That's way too expensive. I'm not bidding!"
"Me too. Very few demonic beasts can grow to full strength. Who knows if they'll die by then? We don't want to lose out!"
"No matter how well the auctioneer Lou speaks, it cannot deny that she is currently only a third-tier demon beast, utterly useless."
At the auction, no one bid.
Just when Lou Qing thought the auction was going to fail, a clear voice rang out above him.
