Qin Zhenhai felt a tightness in his chest, but he knew that he hadn't killed the sea monster, so he had no right to decide for "Xu Wuxin" whether or not to kill the Mermaid King. He didn't even dare to offer any advice, for fear of upsetting this expert!
It should be noted that the sea monsters of the Vast Ocean are still far stronger than the human race. Those who died before only reduced the strength ratio from 3:10 to 3:9!
While Qin Zhenhai was in a state of utter confusion, the Mermaid King had already returned with his daughter, Baba'er.
He had considered running away while he was out.
However, there was always a heavy pressure enveloping him, which, although it did not affect his movements, was definitely present.
It was as if it were an invisible warning to him: I've been watching you, always...
Faced with an opponent whose true nature he couldn't discern, he felt it was best to remain honest.
If you don't behave yourself, you'll most likely die.
Conversely, if they obey obediently, they might be able to survive by relying on their daughter!
The mermaid Baba'er stood to the side, bowing shyly to Yun Shou, but deep in her eyes was a barely suppressed reluctance.
She had just heard from her father that this human supreme being had killed a group of three-realm sea monsters, and that her father was only able to escape death because of her.
Therefore, she had to suppress her disgust for the lowly human race and, with the noble body of a descendant of the sea god, please this human in order to secure a way out for her father...
Xu Wuxin raised her chin: "You're Baba'er?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, you..."
Xu Wuxin interrupted her, saying, "Don't be nosy. I'll just ask one question: you should have a younger sister, right? She calls you 'sister,' so in terms of seniority, she's your father's niece."
He was referring to the mermaid Yun Shi met at the Martial God's Fate Blind Date Event (Chapter 245).
Back then, Yun Shi was provoked by that mermaid at that matchmaking event. Although he verbally retaliated, he originally planned to kill her at the end of the event.
However, it wasn't mentioned later. Either the mermaid took advantage of Yun Shi's distraction during his party to escape, or she was killed by the demons during the subsequent attack.
The opportunity is right in front of me; it would be impossible not to take revenge myself.
"Yes, yes," Baba said in a trembling voice, "You mean?"
"Contact her now and tell me her location."
———Four minutes later.
A young mermaid pressed her ear against the magical conch shell: "Sister Baba'er, you asked where I am now?"
“I’m in the Motun River Basin, in my mother’s Haihu Palace. Why are you asking this?”
"Sister, you don't mean to come here, do you? It's tens of millions of miles away from the Vast Ocean. Even if Uncle takes you with him, it will take several days to fly non-stop."
"Huh? Sister, why are you apologizing to me?"
On the pearl bed, the mermaid Hilla shook the magical conch shell: "Strange, why did it break?"
She patted the conch shell and called out, "Hey!"
Hello!
An echo came from behind.
"Sister Baba'er, can you hear me?"
Sister Baba, can you hear me?
The echo continued to reverberate behind them.
...No, this is not an echo!
Hilla's face stiffened as she slowly turned her head away.
Several meters behind her, the shattered void slowly healed, and she saw two humans and two merfolk appear.
She didn't know either of the two humans, but those two merfolk... one was her sister Baba'er, and the other was her uncle, the Merfolk King!
She didn't know what was happening, because it was far beyond her comprehension.
Before Hilla could even process what was happening, she instinctively asked, "Sister Baba'er, and Uncle, why are you here? And what's with those two lowly humans?"
Baba rushed over and covered her mouth, saying, "Shut up! This is the Supreme Being of the Human Race!"
Hilla broke free, unwilling to accept it: "Supreme One, Supreme One is—"
She was about to start cursing, but halfway through her sentence, her brain finally started working, and she understood the concept of "Supreme." She immediately changed her question: "Why would the Supreme come here?"
Babaer lowered her head: "As long as we serve His Majesty well, he will not harm my father."
Xu Wuxin's lips twitched. How could that sentence be so ambiguous?
Hilla's eyes widened: So her dear sister just sold her out like that?!
“That’s not right.” Hilla pointed at Xu Wuxin indignantly, “What right does your human supreme have to coerce our sea race into doing such a thing?! Although our sea race has been dormant for a long time, do you really think our race has no supreme ruler?!”
"This is not the Vast Ocean of Calm Waves, this is the Motun River Basin, this is the Endless Sea Domain that belongs to my sea race!"
Xu Wuxin shook her head: "It's okay, it won't be like that soon."
Hilla wanted to say something more, but Barbara stopped her: "It's just us here...we are powerless to resist him."
"Grandmother Bernard (Chapter 246) perished two hundred years ago. No Sea Lord would offend the human supreme for our sake."
"Please, I'm begging you, only in this way can your uncle's life be saved."
Tears fall, condensing into pearls, dripping incessantly.
Sadness also appeared in the eyes of the Mermaid King, because his fear of death meant that his daughter and niece's innocence would be lost.
One minute, two minutes, two and a half minutes... Hilla gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and stepped forward with a death-defying spirit.
With encouraging and grateful looks from her sister and uncle, she stood in front of Xu Wuxin: "I agreed to your request, so you must keep your promise and let my uncle go!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenhai and the Mermaid King both became tense.
The tension stemmed from the fact that it concerned the life and death of the Mermaid King.
Xu Wuxin paused for a moment, seemingly deep in thought.
Time slipped away like that, ticking away.
After a moment, he asked in confusion, "When...when did I agree to let the Mermaid King go?"
Qin Zhenhai (gasping for breath).
Mermaid King (can't catch his breath).
Baba'er's scales exploded: "You, are you toying with us?!"
Hilla retreated even further: "Despicable human sovereign, this way we will not submit to you!"
"What a joke! When did I ever say I needed your obedience?"
Upon hearing this, the two mermaids turned deathly pale with fright!
"Hey, don't misunderstand." Seeing their reaction, Xu Wuxin waved his hands repeatedly to maintain his image: "I don't have any improper thoughts about you. I just want your lives."
He remembered that the Mermaid King had deliberately targeted Yun Shi for the sake of his daughter, and that Hilla had targeted Yun Shi for the sake of her sister and uncle.
How could he bear to kill such a loving family of merfolk alone? Of course, they should have a grand family reunion!
...
(After dealing with the two Sea Kings and the three Demon Kings, we should be close to level 12. Let's deal with the human side after level 12 is over, shall we? (ˉ﹃ˉ?))
