Chapter 249: Keep Being Yourself

"Coming?"

The cold voice was as calm and indifferent as ever, and it seemed that there would never be too many emotional ups and downs.

Xu Qianqian walked slowly from the front, and when she ran into Su Ming who was driving fast, she stopped.

Su Ming also stopped and looked at Xu Qianqian who was walking slowly towards him. He immediately had an idea in his mind.

"Is it over?"

Su Ming asked tentatively.

"Ah, it's over." Xu Qianqian said calmly, "Is it over on your end too?"

"As you can see." Su Ming spread his hands, seeming more calm than Xu Qianqian.

But in fact, the opponents they met this time were not the kind that could be easily dealt with, and they were far from being as calm and composed as they appeared on the surface.

Needless to say, Su Ming had consumed a lot of energy in the battle with Mo Leng and had some injuries, but not seriously. He had already recovered with the help of alchemical potions.

Xu Qianqian's situation might be even more difficult than Su Mingzhan's.

Even though she appeared calmer, Su Ming could easily tell from her tattered clothes how difficult the battle she had been through was.

If you look closely, you can see that there are bloodstains and dirt on the corners of Xu Qianqian's clothes and all over her body, which is enough to prove that she had gone through a tough battle.

After all, Mo Yin is a three-star hunter, and Xu Qianqian was a two-star hunter before. Even if she has made great progress in recent times and broken through to three stars, it is still very difficult for Xu Qianqian to defeat a veteran three-star hunter like Mo Yin under the same star level conditions.

The reason why she looked so calm and composed was probably because, like Su Ming, she had recovered from the war with the help of the alchemy potion, right? Of course, no one could make fun of Xu Qianqian for holding on.

Being able to defeat a veteran three-star hunter not long after being promoted to three stars and still having the energy to hold on is actually something worthy of admiration.

After all, not everyone is a monster like Su Ming, who can defeat opponents across star levels and boundaries.

"Where's Xiao Haier?"

Xu Qianqian didn't seem to want to discuss this matter for too long and simply changed the subject.

But her question didn't require Su Ming to answer.

"Mi Ling!"

Almost at the same moment when Xu Qianqian asked the question, a pleasant moan was heard from the sky.

Then, the mermaid girl descended from the sky and threw herself into Xu Qianqian's arms, just like she did to Su Ming before.

Xu Qianqian's whole body was tense and she subconsciously wanted to react, but she couldn't keep up with the speed of the mermaid girl and was hit by her.

"Mi-ling! Mi-ling, mi-ling!"

The mermaid girl hugged Xu Qianqian tightly, moaning happily and swinging her tail excitedly.

Unfortunately, this still failed to stop Xu Qianqian from showing a look of astonishment.

"you?"

Xu Qianqian looked at the mermaid girl in her arms who had grown a lot in astonishment, and the coldness on her face finally disappeared.

Looking at Xu Qianqian like this, Su Ming was also relieved.

"Sure enough, I'm not the only one who reacts like this."

Even the usually cold Miss Xu had such a reaction. It was normal for her to be so confused before, right? Only Xiao Haier seemed to have no idea of ​​her changes. She smiled at Xu Qianqian and rubbed against her, creating a scene of two beautiful girls sticking to each other affectionately.

After a while, Xu Qianqian finally accepted the fact that the girl in front of her, who looked only one or two years younger than her, was the little mermaid she knew, and looked at Su Ming.

"It seems like this is a blessing in disguise."

Obviously, Xu Qianqian had the same idea as Su Ming.

“Hopefully, the same will be true for us.”

Su Ming meant something.

Xu Qianqian could understand why Su Ming said that.

It is really hard to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing that I have cultivated a nightmare species with my own hands.

At least, in the eyes of those who are not in the know, this behavior is undoubtedly seeking death.

That is a nightmare species, the overlord of the Demonic Prison who is only below the terror species. Even a seven-star professional may not be his opponent.

If this kind of existence were to appear in the world, even if it were not as terrifying as the previous species, it would definitely bring a huge disaster to the human race.

From ancient times to the present, every time a nightmare species appears in the world, thousands of lives on the earth will become the other side's blood food. It is not surprising even if one or two base cities are destroyed.

Therefore, in the history of mankind from ancient times to the present, except for the one time when the terrifying species appeared, the biggest disasters and events were all caused by the nightmare species in the Demon Prison.

If we don't count the terrifying species that have only appeared once, the nightmare species is the strongest natural enemy and the greatest disaster that mankind has faced since ancient times. I don't know how many tragedies and disasters they have caused.

Under such circumstances, Su Ming personally cultivated a nightmare seed. If this were heard by some humans, it would be no less than creating a monster with his own hands.

If this monster eventually gets out of control, starts a massacre on the human race, and hunts thousands of lives for food, then Su Ming will be the most hateful culprit in their eyes, a sinner who harms both himself and others.

Even Su Ming himself didn't think of training Xiao Haier into a nightmare species at the beginning.

At least, he didn't think about it for the time being.

All he wanted was to use the [Demon Binding] technique to enslave an excellent fighter who could grow into a superior phantom demon. He just wanted Xiao Haier to grow up and use him for his own purposes.

As for letting Xiao Haier evolve into a nightmare species, Su Ming had never thought of it happening so quickly.

Who made [Demon Binding] have shortcomings and couldn't enslave those phantom demons that were much stronger than itself? Su Ming couldn't guarantee that if he trained Xiao Hai'er into a nightmare species, she would still be controlled by [Demon Binding] in the future. Therefore, Su Ming planned to take it slowly, let Xiao Hai'er grow up first, leave the cub stage, enter adulthood, and have the combat power of a dangerous species.

When I become stronger in the future and am sure I can control even the nightmare seeds, I will then let Xiao Haier evolve.

This was Su Ming’s original training plan.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. With the intervention of the Mo family, Xiao Haier evolved ahead of schedule and succeeded in his evolution, turning into a nightmare species that even his mother could not evolve into. His strength was also improved almost completely, and just as Su Ming had worried, it made [Demon Binding] ineffective.

Even Su Ming has no confidence that he can defeat Xiao Haier now, let alone control him.

From an objective point of view, this situation is undoubtedly very dangerous. If one is not careful, a promising phantom demon could become a terrible enemy, causing countless tragedies and disasters.

This is what Su Ming was referring to.

But. "Having said that, I don't think you seem to be that upset."

Xu Qianqian said to Su Ming with some doubt.

When he said this, Su Ming really looked relaxed, and he didn't seem to be worried at all that things would develop in the worst direction.

"Well, this is really mysterious. I don't know how to explain it." Su Ming scratched his cheek and said, "Anyway, let's go back to Longyao City first."

"Now?" Xu Qianqian glanced at the little Hai'er who was tilting his head in her arms with a confused look on his face, and said bluntly: "Are you sure you want to take this child back?"

"Why?" Su Ming asked with a half-smile, "Don't you want to?"

Xu Qianqian was silent.

Her mind told her that a nightmare species that had lost control and could no longer be easily controlled could not be brought into a base city where a large number of humans gathered.

Just like when they didn't dare to rescue Xiao Hai'er recklessly because they couldn't confirm that she was harmless, no matter how they looked at it, humans should not let down their guard against a phantom demon.

If there is no guarantee that this phantom demon can be controlled, then it must not be allowed to exist at any cost, so as to avoid harming others and yourself.

From a sensible point of view, Xu Qianqian didn't think that Xiao Haier should be abandoned.

She had to admit that she no longer regarded this cute little girl as a natural enemy of mankind.

In her opinion, Xiao Haier was different from other phantom demons. He was full of spirituality and humanity, and was not at all like a bloodthirsty phantom demon.

Xu Qianqian didn't know why this happened.

Even Su Ming didn't know why such a special phantom demon like Xiao Haier suddenly appeared.

If they had heard Mo Yin's speculation, they might have some ideas.

But even if they had not heard Mo Yin's theory, looking at Xiao Hai'er's innocent and pure appearance, they could not regard him as a phantom demon that regarded humans as food.

Whether it is Su Ming or Xu Qianqian, it is the same.

So, "Let's go." Su Ming patted Xu Qianqian on the shoulder and said, "Since we have come this far, there is no reason to be timid because of some unfounded worries."

These words made Xu Qianqian nod her head vigorously.

"Milin?"

Only Xiao Haier seemed unable to understand Su Ming and Xu Qianqian's worries. He seemed not to understand what they were saying. He hugged Xu Qianqian's waist, tilted his head, and looked puzzled.

"It's okay." Xu Qianqian looked at Xiao Hai'er like this, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, saying: "Just continue to be yourself, we believe in you."

"Mi Ling!"

Although Xiao Haier didn't understand what Xu Qianqian meant, he could still clearly feel the kindness of the young lady, and he shouted happily.

"Let's go."

Su Ming then got back on the Longdan motorcycle, called Xu Qianqian, and asked her to come over and sit behind him.

"Mi Ling!"

Xiao Hai'er actually swung her tail, jumped into Su Ming's arms, and sat in front of Su Ming, looking like she had no intention of going back.

Su Ming and Xu Qianqian looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally smiled at the same time.

"boom!"

The sound of the engine starting soon appeared again.

Shenjun's armed motorcycle started running, heading towards the direction of Longyao City, stirring up clouds of dust while crossing mountains and ridges.
