At this moment, Yue Lishan's eyes were practically overflowing with surprise.

His hands involuntarily touched his transformed scales, feeling the different texture from before, and his breathing became rapid.

Fragments of words from the ancient texts of her clan flashed through her mind. She had once been skeptical of these legends about the Yuanlan Mermaid Queen, considering them merely beautiful visions used by her ancestors to inspire future generations. But now, all of this was actually happening to her.

However, Yue Lishan quickly came to her senses and realized that her bloodline reversion was not due to her own potential, but rather the result of the blood energy in this mysterious place.

Thinking of this, she looked up at Qin Luo, who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed not far away. His aura was restrained, yet he exuded an impenetrable spiritual energy fluctuation.

Looking at the human man who had avenged her blood feud, Yue Lishan felt a mix of emotions.

She harbored a somewhat morbid fondness for Qin Luo, a fondness stemming from both admiration for a strong person and gratitude for Qin Luo helping her fulfill her long-cherished wish.

However, she also knew that this mysterious human man looked down on her; his gaze was so indifferent that it was devoid of any emotion.

Every time Yue Lishan met Qin Luo's gaze, she could sense a distant and aloof feeling in his eyes, as if she were just an insignificant presence.

Yue Lishan wasn't stupid either. As for why Qin Luo would spare blood and energy for her, it was probably not so much to subdue her, but rather to make plans for Nuantang.

After all, with his current strength, plus Uncle Rong's strength as a fourth-grade saint, subduing a fox clan member would be a piece of cake.

Thinking of this, a hint of self-mockery flashed in Yue Lishan's eyes.

Qin Luo spoke so coldly to Nuantang, putting on an appearance of being heartless, but in reality, he was quietly arranging everything for Nuantang.

She was merely a pawn in this man's meticulously planned scheme, solely to ensure that Nuantang could live a carefree life within the fox clan after leaving.

In his eyes, she was nothing more than a pawn he used to protect Nuantang, which made Yue Lishan feel both helpless and somewhat envious.

Thinking of this, Yue Lishan shook her head, putting all her emotions to the back of her mind.

Now that Qin Luo has avenged his blood feud, he will follow Qin Luo's arrangements from now on.

Firstly, she was powerless to resist, and secondly, she genuinely did not want to go against his wishes.

Thinking this, Yue Lishan had a thought and suppressed the bloodline aura around her that was like a vast ocean of blood.

Without realizing it, she unconsciously turned her gaze to Nuantang beside her.

She saw that Nuantang, disturbed by the heavenly tribulation, was staring intently at her, her eyes blazing with unrestrained hatred, her gaze seeming to want to tear her to pieces.

Yue Lishan was slightly taken aback, but after a moment she understood Nuantang's thoughts. She sighed inwardly and smiled bitterly to herself, thinking that this little girl was just too naive and innocent, unable to even hide her own emotions.

Recalling the situation at the time, Yue Lishan knew that, given Qin Luo's personality, even without her request, he would have confronted those people sooner or later.

The request he made at the time, which seemed to be a difficult problem for Qin Luo, was actually a well-intentioned scheme, and he had no choice but to agree.

Ultimately, it was simply because Qin Luo was in a bad mood after being tricked, and Nuantang happened to walk right into the line of fire and got into trouble, which led to the current situation.

But Nuantang blamed herself for it all, thinking that she was the one who ruined her relationship with Qin Luo.

But how could she explain it? Couldn't this naive girl see that Qin Luo treated her like a pet?

Although Qin Luo usually dotes on Nuantang, he always acts casually, as if Nuantang is just a plaything he teases in his spare time. He rewards her with sweetness when he is happy, but once he gets tired of her or has something more important to do, he will leave her aside.

But seeing the hatred in Nuantang's eyes, Yue Lishan opened her mouth, but didn't know where to begin.

If she were to speak rashly, Nuantang would likely not only not believe her, but would also think that she was deliberately trying to sow discord, thus making her resent her even more.

People in love are often blind, let alone a young girl just beginning to experience love.

At this moment, Nuantang's heart and eyes were filled with Qin Luo's past kindness to her, so how could she easily admit that she was just an insignificant existence in his heart?

Thinking of this, Yue Lishan shook her head again, deciding to stop dwelling on the matter for the time being. If she hated her, then so be it.

Meanwhile, Nuantang, standing to the side, watched the powerful aura surrounding Yue Lishan after her breakthrough, and the intense bloodline energy made her feel a sense of awe.

This caused her hands to clench into fists, the hatred in her heart almost overwhelming her. However, beneath this intense hatred lay a profound sense of helplessness.

She was aware of the gap between her current cultivation level and Yue Lishan's, and this realization filled her with immense fear. She couldn't help but ask herself if she could really use this woman's blood to prove her sincerity to Brother Qin before he left.

She was afraid that she would really lose Brother Qin forever, and even more afraid that Brother Qin would leave her with this misunderstanding.

She couldn't accept that Brother Qin only left a cold impression of her in his memory. Even if he eventually left, she longed to leave the most beautiful and touching memories in his mind, so that when he occasionally thought of her in the years to come, he would feel a touch of warmth in his heart, rather than cold indifference.

However, at that moment, Qin Luo's aura began to weaken rapidly, a sudden change that startled the two women.

Worry instantly filled Nuantang's eyes. Without thinking, she ran towards Qin Luo, stumbling and almost falling.
