"My son!"

"Sister...Brother!"

The sturdy mermaid in the lead smelled a familiar scent and hurried forward to take A Yuan. He glanced at the wound on A Yuan's chest and saw the sword energy still remaining on the wound. His chest was heaving violently. This sword energy was clearly left by the monk who wielded the sword!

He immediately stretched out his big palm and covered A Yuan's chest.

"Dad...Mom...Mom is inside."

"Don't talk! Ling'er, take your brother to the Lingquan to heal his wounds!"

A steady stream of spiritual power flowed from A Yuan's father's palm into his wound, and the bleeding gradually stopped. Ling'er took A Yuan from his father's hands, nodded slightly to Sheng He as a greeting, and immediately took A Yuan away.

A Yuan's father's scrutinizing gaze fell on Sheng He. At this moment, Zhao Yanran walked out of the Dragon Palace. Behind her, two mermaids holding spears followed her on the left and right. They didn't dare to get too close to her, as if they were afraid of something.

The mermaids immediately became excited. They crowded in the open space in front of the Dragon Palace, glaring at Zhao Yanran, wishing they could rush over.

However, Zhao Yanran stood in front of the gate of Dragon Palace with dignity. In the sunlight, her flowing dress was glittering and so beautiful that people could not take their eyes away.

"Atong..."

A Yuan's father clenched his fists. He stared at the flowing skirt on Zhao Yanran and raised his head slightly. The group of mermaids immediately surrounded Zhao Yanran.

Zhao Yanran remained calm and composed. She took out a white egg from her storage bag and weighed it in her hand.

A cry of surprise came from among the mermaids: "That's my child!"

A mermaid rushed to A Yuan's father. She pointed at the egg in Zhao Yanran's hand and said in panic: "Chief, that's my child! You have to save him!"

Zhao Yanran raised her eyebrows: "These are your children. I have plenty of them here, but they were too rough just now and I accidentally slipped and broke two of them."

A Yuan's father helped the kneeling mermaid up. He looked at the two mermaids following behind Zhao Yanran, and the two mermaids nodded slightly.

A Yuan's father's breathing became heavier. More and more mermaids were rushing here. He glanced at the nervous group of mermaids and then looked at Zhao Yanran.

After a while, he spoke slowly:

"What do you want? Return our child to us. I will not pursue the matter of you killing Atong, and you can choose any treasure in the Dragon Palace."

"Treasures from the Dragon Palace?" Zhao Yanran chuckled and patted her storage bag. "Aren't they all here with me?"

"Prepare a ship for me and send me away from the Eastern Sea, and I will consider returning this egg to you."

"Chief, we can't let her leave!"

"Chief, those are my children! Do you want to see them die in front of us?"

"Chief, please save our children!"

"Patriarch, you can't do that!"

"The human race has always been cunning and can never be trusted! She must have lied to us. Once she reaches the shore, she will take all the children away!"

The two voices intertwined, and A Yuan's father pursed his lips tightly. The eastern sea area is extremely vast. If you leave by boat, it will take at least half a month.

The human being in front of them is only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm. When they are helpless on the sea, they still have a chance to snatch the child back. If that doesn't work, they can also take this human being back to the bottom of the sea.

He stared at the egg in Zhao Yanran's hand and nodded cautiously.

"Okay, I can..."

"no."

Sheng He's voice was clear. She stood in front of A Yuan's father and looked up at Zhao Yanran.

"Don't think I don't know what's on your mind. Shen Ci came here with you. He's a talisman practitioner, so drawing a Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman isn't a big deal, right?"

Zhao Yanran's face changed slightly. Sheng He guessed correctly. She did hold a Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman in her hand. However, this group of mermaids pressed too close and she was still within the Dragon Palace. The Thousand Miles Teleportation Talisman could not take effect, and the teleportation items exchanged from the system could not work either.

But so what? Zhao Yanran looked at the group of mermaids.

As long as the eggs were in her hands, the mermaids would not dare to hurt her.

"Senior Sister Sheng, since you've said that, I have nothing to say."

Zhao Yanran shook her head regretfully, suddenly loosened her hand, and smashed the egg to the ground.

"Senior sister! She calls her Senior Sister! They are in the same group!"

"The human race cannot be trusted! Chief, quickly capture this cunning human!"

There was a sudden commotion among the mermaids.

"No! Child! My child!"

Just as the egg was about to fall to the ground, a mermaid suddenly jumped out from the side and pounced on the egg with all her might.

The sand next to it suddenly caved in, and a small pile of sand was wrapped in spiritual power and kept spinning, holding the egg steadily until the egg was placed in the mermaid's arms. The spiritual power quietly dissipated, and the sand fell back to the ground.

The mermaid hugged her child, cried with joy, and kept thanking Sheng He.

"It's just a piece of cake."

Sheng He waved his hand, suddenly looked up at A Yuan's father, and asked, "Are all the mermaids of your clan water spirit roots?"

A Yuan's father frowned, and although he was a little confused, he still nodded.

Sheng He glanced at Zhao Yanran, whose face was full of resentment. She seemed to be unconvinced and took out dozens of eggs from her storage bag and threw them on the ground, but they were caught by Sheng He one by one.

Sheng He smiled and whispered, "She has a fire spirit root. I'll have to trouble my uncle to help me later."

Before she finished her words, several vines suddenly emerged from the ground, and while Zhao Yanran's attention was still on the eggs, they gently wrapped around her ankles and waist. Barbs instantly grew on the vines, and pierced deeply into Zhao Yanran's flesh.

Zhao Yanran screamed in pain and stopped what she was doing. But before she could release fire to force back the vines, a torrent of water fell from the sky, soaking her to the bone.

Two vines tied Zhao Yanran's hands and hung her upside down. Zhao Yanran was bound all over and could not move at all.

The sudden change made the entire group of mermaids quiet down. They looked at A Yuan's father nervously. A Yuan's father had a serious expression on his face and just looked at Sheng He quietly.

Sheng He stepped forward and took the storage bag from Zhao Yanran's waist.

"Untie it."

Zhao Yanran raised her eyebrows: "Why?"

"Sheng He, just wait for me. When we get back to Qingyun Sect, our master will not let you go."

Sheng He stared at Zhao Yanran, and the vines tightened rapidly. More and more barbs pierced into Zhao Yanran's body. Zhao Yanran wailed, and her facial features twisted into a ball in pain.

"Untie it!"

"I won't! Sheng He, don't try to be a good person. I'm telling you, I'm dead..."

The cold sword blade pressed against her neck, and Zhao Yanran immediately fell silent.

She shrank her neck and asked in her mind: "System, can I get another substitute talisman now?"
