Chapter 192 Little White Flower, You've Finally Figured Out How to Play This Game
A truly remarkable scene unfolded on the road leading to the inn!
A little girl with two small pigtails and rosy cheeks was pushing a large cart with a long-haired cat.
On the cart, a mermaid lay on her side, her hair flowing like a waterfall, her face covered by a bag yet her beauty undiminished.
Yan Xi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, but the fishy smell from the cart made him stumble. He held his breath for a moment and forced himself to calm down.
Now that she can see the boundary ring, her next step is to make him completely lower his guard and, at the right time, lure him back to the boundary abyss to completely sever the seal.
This novel combination quickly attracted discussion among onlookers.
Ao Bai grinned and said, "Money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to swallow. When we split the pearls later, I'll have to get 50/50 this time."
Huali also put in all her effort, "But you can't tell him stories, Siliu."
Zhan Li sat on the second floor of the teahouse, looking down listlessly.
He traveled all the way from Cangming Sea back to Tianlan City in search of Feng Yi, only to be told upon arrival that Feng Yi had gone to Cangming Sea again with Mo Ziyan and the others.
He had no choice but to turn back again, stopping in Jiangling for a rest.
But before they could even catch their breath, their attention was drawn to the murmurs of the crowd below.
This scene reminded him of the time before the Dream Realm opened, when he was on the second floor of a teahouse in Tianlan City, and saw Huali being chased by someone while she was acting crazy.
A complex emotion flashed across Zhan Li's eyes, and he subconsciously stretched his head out.
*
At the entrance of the alley.
Several wealthy merchants who had previously given up on Yan Xi at the edge of the cage felt they had been cheated when they saw that the mermaid was not only alive but also showing signs of coming back to life.
They sneered and said sarcastically, "Who do we have here? It's just this little brat."
The wealthy businessman with gold teeth scoffed, "He probably spent all his money on milk, only to end up with a cripple? And he has to work like a slave pushing her around? It's laughable."
"Tsk tsk tsk, little one, you're quite strong! Want your uncle to give you a push?" A thug with a scar on his face crossed his arms. "Don't let the old, weak, sick, or disabled die there, it's bad luck."
"I'm not afraid of dying somewhere, as long as I don't end up getting infected with the plague..."
Foul language poured in like a tidal wave.
On the cart, Yan Xi, who was resting with his eyes closed, curled up a bloody smile. His fingertips curled almost imperceptibly on the rough edge of the wooden plank.
Just as he was about to sound the prelude to death, the cart beneath him suddenly stopped.
The moment Huali looked over, the malice in Yanxi's eyes melted away, replaced by a fragile and helpless look, like a frightened little white flower ravaged by a storm.
A layer of pitiful, watery light suddenly welled up in his deep blue eyes.
Yan Xi's eyes were filled with grievance, and her gaze toward Hua Li was full of dependence and helplessness, as if she were the only salvation in this filthy world.
Huali: "!!!"
Since shrinking, Karin has been cherished and pampered by everyone. How could she bear such a special, pure, and unpretentious gaze? Her protective instincts instantly surged!
If this were a TV series, it would definitely be a story of a domineering CEO and her weak, helpless little mermaid.
Looking at the host who was not even half as tall as the other person's tail when he stood up, but whose aura was like that of a two-meter-eight-meter-tall man, Ao Bai suddenly understood why domineering CEOs in TV dramas liked the solitary and innocent girl.
That's wonderful!
Huali puffed out her little chest, and the dragon roared, "Nonsense! You're just sour grapes! Say one more word and I'll beat you to a pulp!"
The group was stunned for a moment, then burst into even louder laughter!
Huali nodded. "Alright! You're finished!"
She drew her earth-element card, ready to teach these people a lesson, but several arrows beat her to it and struck the three of them directly!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—
The noisy crowd fell silent instantly.
Zhan Li jumped from the second floor, landing squarely in front of Hua Li. The boy's face darkened with displeasure, and he snapped, "Get out of here!"
The three of them immediately turned and ran.
The moment Zhanli saw Huali, he thought he was seeing things. Could there really be such a similar person in the world?
But when Karin pulled out the card, Zhanli's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. It really was her!
After chasing the person away, Zhan Li took a deep breath and turned back, "Huali..."
But who's backing him up?
President Hua was climbing onto her large flatbed cart, frantically comforting her little mermaid.
"I scared away all the bad guys. It's okay, don't be afraid, I will definitely protect you."
Zhan Li: "...Who is he?"
Yan Xi nodded weakly, her blue eyes brimming with tears, filled with gratitude and lingering fear. Hearing this, she obediently leaned against Hua Li, the large fish nestled against the small figure, and looked towards Zhan Li, who had suddenly appeared.
"Pshaw, a mere Golden Core."
Huali was so focused on comforting her little mermaid that she didn't hear Zhanli's words at all.
Although she really wanted the little pearl, the Little Mermaid being scared and crying is a different matter from being moved to tears by a story.
She couldn't let bad people bully him just because she wanted the little pearl.
A look of resentment flashed across Zhan Li's face as he felt ignored, and his hostile gaze immediately turned to Yan Xi in the car.
"Mermaids from the Azure Sea? They can't even handle a few mortals?"
Yan Xi's emotions, which had just been calmed down by Hua Li, collapsed again. He was like a frightened fawn, his long eyelashes trembling wildly.
Just as Zhan Li thought he was about to launch a deadly attack and prepared to defend himself, his opponent had already effortlessly hidden behind Hua Li.
"My little...my little benefactor..."
Hua Li then noticed Zhan Li, and Ao Bai quickly said, "This is the fire-type card Qi Yun Zi that I told you about, the other mission taker, Zhan Li."
The battle lines were instantly drawn in a single sentence.
One is a friend of her competitor, and the other is the little mermaid she just bought at a high price.
Huali could figure out who she was closer to even with her toes.
The little girl spread her arms wide, shielding Yan Xi even more completely, and asked, "Who are you?"
Why are you scaring my little mermaid?
In short, it directly caused the enemy to break through the enemy's defenses.
She doesn't even remember who he is? And she's protecting a merman who's obviously faking it?
Zhan Li put his hands on his hips, spun around in place, and pointed at her, "How did you suddenly become like this? Does anyone else know?"
Just as the two were talking back and forth, Yan Xi, hiding behind Hua Li, subtly and precisely locked his gaze on the three people who were fleeing in panic at the end of the alley.
Terrified by the arrow that had cut them apart, they were scrambling to escape this dangerous place.
The watery light and vulnerability in Yan Xi's eyes seemed to have been erased, leaving only pure killing intent.
The moment he uttered the incantation with his fingertips, his pale, thin lips twitched very slightly.
Without uttering any sound, it simply sketched out a few cold syllables in an instant.
"Heart... shattered... eyes... burst... blood... reversed..."
At the end of the alley—
"Ugh—"
"puff--"
"Hehe—"
Three piercing screams rang out simultaneously.
Big Gold Tooth clutched his chest tightly and suddenly vomited a large amount of thick, black blood foam mixed with pieces of internal organs.
Scarface's eyes spun wildly, and blood gushed from his seven orifices the instant they exploded!
The third person collapsed to the ground, his eyes rolled back as blood rushed to his head, and after a few struggles, he lay still.
The whole process was incredibly fast, like lightning!
As screams erupted, Yan Xi immediately shrank back, frantically grabbing Hua Li's waist with both hands and burying her face in Hua Li's small back. Her fingertips trembled as she pointed at Zhan Li, "My little benefactor...this person is so scary...he...he killed someone!"
Karin was also stunned by the terrifying scene that suddenly erupted at the end of the alley.
Upon hearing Yan Xi's words, she subconsciously looked at the bow in Zhan Li's hand.
"You did this?"
A completely bewildered Zhan Li: "??? Huh?"
