Chapter 141 "Little Haier"

For humans, phantom demons are undoubtedly enemies of life and natural enemies that threaten their own survival.

However, the existence of the phantom demon itself can create many benefits.

Apart from anything else, the body materials of the phantom demon are used to refine alchemical potions, alchemical tools and even alchemical weapons.

The blood of the phantom demon is an important treasure used to create hunters, allowing humans to obtain powers similar to those of the phantom demons and to compete with the phantom demons.

Therefore, it goes without saying that the materials left on the bodies of dead phantom demons are of extremely precious value, and the living phantom demons are even more of a sacrifice used to extract their blood. The demand for them is high in any base city in this world.

Under such circumstances, taking advantage of the opening of the entrance to the Spirit Demon Prison and the attack of the phantom demon army, there must be many forces in Longyao City who are trying to make a fortune and capture a large number of phantom demons alive.

These phantom demons are high-priced commodities used to extract blood. In the future, they will also be able to create hunters to enhance the strength of Longyao City. Longyao City will definitely make it easier for these high-priced commodities to circulate.

In other words, "there must be a way to transport the living phantom demon out of Huaming District."

Xu Qianqian spoke so confidently.

"Moreover, it is an official channel."

This leaves a lot of room for maneuver.

"Will it work?" Su Ming said thoughtfully, "Because it is an official channel, the review will be very strict, right?"

The phantom demons themselves are a dangerous species. Even if the government must allow them to circulate for the sake of the interests of the tribe, who knows if there are other ways? Arms are privately manufactured and sold, and there are also greedy poachers who are willing to risk their lives to hunt world-class protected species. What about phantom demons that can bring extraordinary power and are covered in treasures?

Apart from anything else, just considering the issue of smuggling, the authorities will not allow a living phantom demon to be transported away so easily.

Therefore, the review will definitely be very strict and rigorous.

Under such strict scrutiny, it would be extremely difficult to allow a phantom demon cub that inherited the blood of a dangerous mutant and had a high probability of evolving into a nightmare species to pass the scrutiny without being discovered by anyone.

At least, Su Ming believed that once the official channels were used, it was only a matter of time before the origins of the mermaid girl were exposed.

Unless "I have someone in the official."

Xu Qianqian's simple and understated words instantly made Su Ming lose interest in continuing the conversation.

Come to think of it, Xu Qianqian's father is a member of the senior management of Longyao Base City, which is equivalent to a member of parliament of a country. How could he not have connections there?

As the daughter of such a man, it is normal to have someone protecting her.

However, Su Ming still wanted to strongly express that this kind of disgusting backdoor behavior was shameful.

Because it would make him feel envious and jealous. "Of course, the premise is that I can get through this hurdle first."

As she spoke, Xu Qianqian couldn't help but sigh.

In her current situation, connections are really of no use.

The reason is simple: I can't get in touch with you.

Otherwise, Xu Qianqian would have asked for help long ago, making Gao Xu and Xu Yanyan's plan fail.

"Okay." Su Ming looked nonchalant and said, "Since you already have a method, just keep this little girl for the time being."

Anyway, this mermaid girl looks cute and easy to bully, and she has so much potential, so it’s not impossible to have some fun with her and cultivate her.

If Xu Qianqian was willing to help him raise the child, Su Ming would be even happier.

After all, strictly speaking, the ownership of this little guy belongs to me.

As long as the effect of [Demon Binding] remains, Su Ming will have control over the mermaid girl.

No one can take it away.

The sky gradually brightened.

When the sun shone into the forest and onto the cabin in the woods, Su Ming and the others woke up one after another.

"roar!"

"Guga!"

“Ga ga ga!”

The phantom demons kept making calls and wandering back and forth in the mountains and forests, as if they were hunting.

Even the mutant horned demons left their gate posts and went outside to have a bite to eat.

Su Ming and Xu Qianqian's conditions have also fully recovered.

Especially Xu Qianqian, who looked listless yesterday, but today has a rosy complexion, smooth and toned skin, and is full of energy. The serious wound on her abdomen has disappeared completely, which makes people start to doubt whether the injury she suffered yesterday was real.

"You recovered pretty quickly in the second half of the night."

Su Ming looked at Xu Qianqian and said this.

Xu Qianqian, who was preparing to wash up, glanced at Su Ming and threw a word at him.

"Thanks to you."

After saying that, Xu Qianqian walked away alone.

Su Ming was the only one left. He stood there in a daze for a while before he reacted.

"I almost forgot that I was sucked blood by this female vampire yesterday."

There is no need to explain how good his blood is to Xu Qianqian.

After sucking such blood, Xu Qianqian's recovery ability also soared rapidly. She had not recovered very well at first, but today she recovered completely.

"So I am still a recovery and supply item?"

Thinking of this, Su Ming felt sick all over.

"Midoline."

At this moment, a timid cry was heard.

Su Ming raised his eyebrows, turned his head and looked towards the door.

There, a mermaid gently swayed her beautiful tail, and swam lightly towards the door amidst the rippling water waves.

That look seemed quite tiptoeing.

"Mimi Mimi."

A small voice came out of the mermaid girl's mouth, and it felt like it was saying "Can't see me, can't see me".

Unfortunately, Su Ming is neither blind nor deaf.

"Mi Ling!"

The mermaid girl's exclamation was so sudden and so unexpected.

Su Ming grabbed the man's neck and lifted him up.

"Are you trying to run away?"

Su Ming looked at the mermaid girl with a smile.

"Mimimimim!"

The mermaid girl looked at Su Ming's "evil" smile and began to struggle in fear, like a little girl caught by human traffickers, weak and pitiful.

“Bang!”

The next second, a jade hand reached out and slapped Su Ming's hand away.

The mermaid girl immediately hid behind the person who came as if she had been pardoned.

"Are you bullying Xiao Hai'er again?"

Xu Qianqian said this to Su Ming.

"Who bullied her? She tried to escape but I caught her, okay?" Su Ming protested, then asked in confusion: "By the way, what is Xiao Hai'er?"

Facing Su Ming's question, Xu Qianqian answered calmly.

"The child's name."

There was no need to think too much about who Xu Qianqian was referring to.

"Her name?" Su Ming looked at the mermaid girl who had secretly poked her head out from behind Xu Qianqian. After she realized that he was looking at her, she shrank back as if frightened. He asked in surprise, "Could it be you who gave her the name?"

"What else?" Xu Qianqian asked instead of answering, "You can't always call her a child, right?"

Hearing this, Su Ming spread his hands and said nothing.

Although this is the truth, it is the first time that Su Ming has seen a phantom demon being named.

"You don't really plan to keep her, do you?"

Su Ming had to think so.

Judging from Xu Qianqian's performance, she seemed to want to do more than just hide the mermaid girl as the source of the trouble.

The way she looks now, it can't be said that she just wants to raise a pet, it's more like she wants to raise a daughter.

In response to this, Xu Qianqian neither confirmed nor denied it, but just said it lightly.

"Let's take it one step at a time. We'll talk about the future later."

Having said that, Xu Qianqian turned and walked away.

"Mi Ling!"

The mermaid girl's figure was instantly exposed from Xu Qianqian's original position and she was frightened again.

She wanted to fly away reflexively, but was caught by Su Ming again.

"Don't blame me for not telling you clearly first, okay?"

Su Ming stared at the mermaid girl, or rather, the mermaid girl named Xiao Haier, and spoke word by word.

"If you continue to run around this time, I can't guarantee what those hungry thugs outside will do to you."

Hearing this, the mermaid girl——Xiao Haier felt that Su Ming’s eyes were like he was looking at a plate of delicious snacks.

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

Will I be eaten if I run out?! "Mimimimimimimimim!"

Xiao Haier immediately didn't dare to struggle anymore and could only look at Su Ming with tears in his eyes, hoping that Su Ming would have mercy on him. He looked weak, helpless and pitiful.

“Ah, this.”

Su Ming's Dao heart was immediately damaged.

Isn't this cute creature too lethal?

For a moment, even Su Ming felt so reluctant that he wanted to let Xiao Haier go.

Fortunately, Su Ming woke up quickly.

"Calm down, calm down. Women will only affect the speed of my development. Don't be deceived by their appearance!"

Su Ming muttered to himself like this, and he just needed to recite "Amitabha" once or twice to calm his mind.

"Mi Ling!"

Xiao Haier continued to look at Su Ming with pitiful eyes.

“.”

Su Mingdao's heart wavered again.

“Bang!”

The slender hand patted Su Ming's head for the second time.

An hour later, Su Ming and Xu Qianqian walked out of the cabin.

"Midoline."

Xiao Haier followed behind the two of them, looking listless. It was unclear whether it was because he was still weak or because he realized that he couldn't escape and fell into despair.

"roar!"

"Guga!"

“Ga ga ga!”

A group of phantom demons came running from all around and sat in a row in front of Su Ming.

However, there was still fear in their eyes when they looked at Xiao Haier.

Su Ming ignored these guys and turned to face Xu Qianqian.

"I have to go back to area B-5 and reunite with my teammates."

I didn't go back all night and I don't know how the mission over there was going.

As a member of the same team, Su Ming often slacked off in order to hide his strength. Not only did he slack off this time, he also skipped work without reason. If he didn't go back, Su Ming would feel guilty.

Moreover, being away from the mission unit for such a long time is also a problem.

If the people at the defense line, the academy, or Longyao City discovered that I had abandoned my mission and was wandering around alone, I knew I would be held accountable.

Su Ming doesn't want to encounter such trouble.

"What are you going to do? Come back with me?"

Su Ming asked Xu Qianqian for her opinion.

Xu Qianqian really wanted to tell Su Ming that she could just act alone.

She didn't want to casually insert herself into someone else's team, and she wasn't a very pretentious person, so she wouldn't be so inseparable from Su Ming.

Given her personality, it is normal for her to leave and act alone at this time.

But before that, Su Ming explained it first.

"If you want to go it alone, you'd better be prepared."

What kind of mental preparation should you make?

Of course, it is the mental preparation to encounter the enemy.

"Xu Yanyan is fine. With your ability, you can run away even if you can't beat her." Su Ming said, "But if you meet Gao Xu again, this time it's really over."

Xu Qianqian was suddenly speechless.

After all, she was only a third-year student, with a strength of two stars at most. How could she be a match for the senior professionals who would regard even three stars as ants? Yesterday's incident also told Xu Qianqian how powerless and weak she was in the face of Gao Xu.

She is a genius.

In terms of potential and bloodline, even a prominent figure like Xu Yanyan is not as good as her.

However, a genius is just a genius, not a strong man. Before he grows up, if he encounters a truly strong enemy, he may die halfway.

"You better come with me."

Seeing Xu Qianqian fall into silence, Su Ming immediately said something.

"With me by your side, you are at least safe."

These words made Xu Qianqian look at Su Ming deeply.

"what?"

Su Ming was a little stunned by Xu Qianqian's gaze.

"Nothing." Xu Qianqian said calmly, "I was just thinking, a genius like me is so useless now, how come you, who is one grade lower than me, are so strong."

After saying this, Xu Qianqian said nothing more and left.

"What's going on?"

Su Ming scratched his face and smiled bitterly.

He could probably understand Xu Qianqian's complicated emotions.

In the current situation, she, one of the top geniuses in the Demon Hunting Academy, is so helpless, while Su Ming, an ordinary and "unknown" student, is able to fight with senior professionals and not lose. Such a contrast will indeed make some gifted people feel discouraged.

Although Xu Qianqian was not discouraged yet, she began to realize that there was a huge gap between herself and Su Ming.

There is no doubt that Xu Qianqian's mood was very complicated at this moment.

As the eldest daughter of the Xu family, she has fallen to the point where she needs others to take great pains to protect her. One can imagine how she feels.

However, Su Ming had a feeling.

"I guess this woman will use this as motivation to work hard?"

This is what a girl named Xu Qianqian would do.

"Milin?"

Xiao Haier tilted his head to the side, seemingly not understanding what was going on.

Su Ming glanced at the mermaid girl.

"Are you still not leaving?"

Su Ming snorted and threatened.

"Mi Ling!"

As expected, Xiao Hai'er was frightened and caught up with Xu Qianqian with a wave of water.

Su Ming followed.

Behind him, phantom demons were following, and the scene was quite spectacular.
