Chapter 139: More and more punishments, more and more judgments

"Mimirine"

This is the pitiful cry of a mermaid girl who is tightly bound by invisible chains.

At this moment, the delicate and petite mermaid was surrounded by two humans, a man and a woman, in a "sitting" posture, as if she was about to be caught and sold by evil human traffickers. She looked helpless and pitiful.

Su Ming and Xu Qianqian looked at each other, and finally noticed a hint of guilt that was hard to conceal in each other's eyes.

Needless to say, both of them had a feeling that they were doing something bad.

But this kind of feeling is obviously not right.

"I say, Miss." Su Ming said quietly, "We chose to save her and keep her so that she can't escape in order to prevent Longyao City from falling into chaos and to repay the previous life-saving grace, right?"

The implication is that I am not doing anything bad, but rather doing something good, right? "Why do I feel like I've become a bad person?"

Su Ming was very puzzled.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with our actions." Xu Qianqian was silent for a while, then said, "This child is a phantom demon after all, and is incompatible with humans. We didn't kill her directly or use her to extract her blood. We have done our best and there is no reason to be condemned."

These words, when spoken from Xu Qianqian's mouth, were completely devoid of her usual calmness and decisiveness, and were instead filled with unprecedented hesitation.

It goes without saying that Xu Qianqian's intention in saying this was not to convince others, but to convince herself.

It is conceivable that Xu Qianqian also felt very complicated after doing such a thing.

Needless to say, Su Ming, who had no moral integrity in the past, actually felt that he was doing something bad. This was enough to explain the problem.

But there was no way, the performance of the mermaid girl in front of him was too pitiful.

Her delicate body trembled slightly.

With tears in the corners of my eyes,

There seemed to be a pleading emotion in those ice-blue eyes, which made people feel a pain in their hearts and involuntarily felt a surge of sympathy.

Faced with such a situation, even the most hard-hearted person would probably feel soft-hearted.

Xu Qianqian originally wanted to say something to the mermaid girl, but when she saw her like this, she simply retreated.

"I'll leave this to you."

Xu Qianqian turned around and left the scene without hesitation.

"Hey!" Su Ming was stunned, and quickly called Xu Qianqian, saying, "What do you mean by leave it to me? What do you want me to do?"

Su was obviously a little overwhelmed.

Unfortunately, he was facing Miss Xu, a ruthless and taciturn person. Even if he acted helpless, it seemed that the other party had no intention of intervening.

"You captured this person, and you are in control of him. If you think about it carefully, this child is actually your property, or a trophy. In this case, isn't it normal for you to handle it?"

Xu Qianqian said these words expressionlessly, which made Su Ming want to curse.

It was you who found the person, but now you are pushing the mess onto me. Do you think my image fits the current situation? A grown man, in this wilderness, using invisible ropes to tie up a lovely young girl? This scene will make people call the police in a minute, okay? "Mi-ling! Mi-ling, Mi-ling!"

Just when Su Ming was about to have a serious goodbye with Xu Qianqian, the mermaid girl cried out anxiously.

Su Ming couldn't help but turn around and look at the mermaid girl again, gazing at her fair skin, petite and slender body, delicate face and dreamy, fairy-tale-like temperament, and swallowed uncontrollably.

Such a reaction was naturally met with a look of contempt.

Su Ming knew who the gaze was coming from without turning around to look.

Su Ming quickly looked at his nose with his eyes, and then at his heart with his nose, to suppress the increasingly cruel and tempting feelings in his heart.

Then, Su Ming took a deep breath and became serious.

This is Su Ming's opening remarks.

"Don't worry." Su Ming said, "We are not bad people."

Behind him, Xu Qianqian's eyes twitched violently.

This opening remark clearly sounded like a bad old man, right? However, Su Ming was completely unaware and just continued talking.

"Don't scream yet." Su Ming said, "Even if you scream your throat out, no one will come to save you."

Xu Qianqian felt an urge in her heart, but she held it back.

"How about this, you come with me first?" Su Ming was completely unaware of how bad his speech was, and continued, "I'll treat you to a lollipop and show you my Dabao. Ouch!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Su Ming was slapped hard on the head.

Xu Qianqian finally couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward, interrupting Su Ming's terrible speech with a slap.

"What are you doing?"

Su Ming condemned.

"Don't say anything." Xu Qianqian looked at Su Ming as if he was looking at garbage, and said without hesitation: "It's my fault. I shouldn't have given you such an important task. I'll do it myself."

After saying that, Xu Qianqian ignored Su Ming's dissatisfied look and protesting expression, and walked to the mermaid girl on her own.

"You should be able to understand what we say, right?"

Xu Qianqian looked down at the mermaid girl and said these words in a cold tone.

"Milin."

The mermaid girl obviously hesitated, then nodded her head nervously.

It seems that this phantom demon cub can indeed understand human language and comprehend the meaning of words.

This is not uncommon.

In the Demon Prison, leaving aside the lower-level phantom demons who are regarded as trash, the higher-level phantom demons, after evolving, are generally not much inferior to humans in terms of brains and wisdom, and are able to behave in the same way as humans.

Dangerous species are not so bad. Although they have intelligence that is not inferior to humans, the concept of the survival of the fittest and feeding on blood is still deeply rooted in their instincts. Therefore, even if they are more humane than lower-level phantom demons, there is still some bestiality and cruelty remaining in their nature. Once they are angered, it is generally difficult for them to behave rationally.

But if it evolves into the nightmare species, the intelligence and brain of the phantom demon will be no worse than that of humans, and even better. Some nightmare species will learn human language and habits, and their behaviors will gradually become closer to humans and they can communicate with humans. For this reason, humans in the world once had the idea of ​​making peace with the phantom demons. Unfortunately, in the end, because of the nature of the phantom demons that feed on blood, this fantasy was shattered.

It is said that the legendary terrifying species' every move is exactly the same as that of humans. If they do not reveal their identities, no one will be able to discover the truth that they are phantom demons.

Therefore, as a being that has inherited the blood of a higher-level phantom demon and has a great chance of evolving into a nightmare species, it is not surprising that the mermaid girl can understand human words and comprehend their meaning.

After Xu Qianqian understood this, her cold expression softened slightly.

It’s good to be able to communicate, at least this way we can convey our meaning to the child.

"Calm down and listen to me." Xu Qianqian said, "We saved you, just like you saved us before."

What Xu Qianqian wanted to convey was a hint that the relationship between the two parties could be made less tense.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

In response, the mermaid girl blinked, glanced at Xu Qianqian, then glanced at Su Ming, and then, as if she recognized the two of them, a look of surprise emerged in her beautiful big eyes.

Earlier, because she was too panicked, the mermaid girl did not recognize Su Ming and Xu Qianqian.

She had been hunted and captured many times, and had always been on the run, escaping, and running away. She had already developed the habit of running away as soon as she saw humans.

Under such circumstances, the mermaid girl did not recognize Su Ming and Xu Qianqian at the first time. She just thought that they were the same bad guys as before, who wanted to hurt her, imprison her, and take her away.

It was not until this time, with Xu Qianqian's reminder, that the mermaid girl realized the identities of the two people in front of her.

You can't be wrong.

These two people were the ones who helped me escape on that desperate night.

The mermaid girl did not forget that she was about to be captured by the bad guys again.

Fortunately, just as he was about to be caught again, a human girl suddenly took action and attacked the bad guys.

And the human male behind, who had just said those scary words and still had a dissatisfied look on his face, seemed to be the one who cut off the chains that bound him and allowed him to escape.

The mermaid girl was quite impressed by these two people.

The reason is simple, it's just because these two people are the only two people who have not attacked me since I was born in this world.

Therefore, at that time, I couldn't help but turn back and take action when I saw these two people were about to be harmed by the bad guys.

I didn't expect that the situation would be like this when we met again.

"Mi-ling! Mi-ling!"

The mermaid girl called out a few times, but no one knew what she was saying.

Just because she can understand Xu Qianqian's words doesn't mean Xu Qianqian can understand her words.

But looking at her expression, she seemed to have realized that she had been saved once by Su Ming and Xu Qianqian.

So the mermaid girl relaxed a little.

Seeing this, Xu Qianqian took advantage of the situation and pursued the enemy.

"Although it sounds like a lie, we really have no ill will towards you at the moment." Xu Qianqian looked directly at the mermaid girl and said, "However, we can't just let you go, because we are afraid that you will fall into the hands of others."

Hearing this, the mermaid girl lowered her head with a lost look. It was unclear whether it was because she realized that there was no way to escape, or because she agreed with Xu Qianqian's words and knew that she was coveted by many people.

"It seems like you have nowhere to go, right?" Xu Qianqian said, "In that case, why don't you try coming to our place first?"

Xu Qianqian's words made the mermaid girl raise her little head.

The aqua blue eyes first swept over Xu Qianqian, then over Su Ming, and then fell into an uneasy silence.

Xu Qianqian didn't urge her and just waited quietly.

On the contrary, Su Ming actually chose to be stubborn at this time.

"Come on, I will love you well, hehe."

Su Ming finally let out a strange laugh that was very suggestive.

"Mimimimim!"

The mermaid girl was frightened and turned around with tears in her eyes and tried to run away.

Xu Qianqian quickly hugged the little girl, turned her head, and glanced at Su Ming with murderous eyes.

"Will you shut up?"

Xu Qianqian said indifferently.

"Okay!ヽ(￣▽￣)"

After Su Ming finished his trick, he ran away decisively.

Poor Xu Qianqian was not a silver-tongued person to begin with, and after being tricked by Su Ming, it took her a lot of effort to appease the mermaid girl.

In the end, although the mermaid girl did not explicitly agree, she was still taken back to the cabin by Su Ming and Xu Qianqian.
