Chapter 151 Awakening the Mermaid Bloodline
“Ahem…” Cang Jue coughed out loud in shock at Hua Li’s shocking words, and quickly denied it, “No! I didn’t explain it clearly. To be exact, I sensed the power of my bloodline in your soul space!”
He spoke quickly and anxiously, fearing that if he was slow he would end up being an ancestor without any pain.
"Ahem!" Hua Li looked embarrassed. How could she have forgotten about Xiao Baijun?
With a thought, a mermaid egg with aqua blue ripples appeared in his arms. Because of the different sizes, it looked more like Hua Li lying on the eggshell and said, "Are you talking about Bai Jun?"
The moment the mermaid egg appeared, Cang Jue's breathing tightened and his pupils trembled. It was his and Bai Yue's child! He was really still alive...
"Bai...Bai Yue she..." Cang Jue looked at Hua Li hopefully but didn't dare to ask any more questions.
"Don't think too much. Bai Yue can't be still alive, otherwise she wouldn't have entrusted her child to me." Hua Li answered very directly.
Cang Jue smiled bitterly, "I wishful thinking." He looked at Bai Jun intently and reluctantly and continued, "Can you tell me how you met Bai Yue?"
Most mermaids are of the water element, but Bai Yue is of the wood element. I think she must have paid a huge price to save their child.
There was nothing that could not be said. Hua Li stroked Bai Jun's warm eggshell, hiding the part related to her and telling the story of what Bai Yue had done.
After finishing the story, Hua Li put Bai Jun back into the space, with no intention of giving Cang Jue a hug.
After all, she still couldn't really trust Cang Jue.
Cang Jue was not dissatisfied with Hua Li's actions. On the contrary, he was grateful to her.
After getting information from Bai Yue and knowing that he and Bai Yue's child were fortunately still alive, he no longer had any regrets.
He formed a seal with his fingers, and took out ten drops of heart blood from the stone statue. He pushed them in front of Hua Li and said, "This is my heart blood. Your Taoist partner has a trace of merman blood. After absorbing these ten drops of blood, you can fully awaken and transform into a merman."
Hua Li was relieved and accepted the blood essence containing pure water power and breath of life without hesitation. He thought to himself that Cang Jue's bloodline was not simple either.
Cang Jue then added: "My blood essence is difficult to refine, it is best to wait until your Taoist partner's soul is fully restored before giving it to him."
"Yes." Hua Li nodded to show that she understood, turned around, took out a bathtub made of ice jade, poured the ice marrow she brought out from the blessed land of Snow Flower City into the bathtub, and then poured all the ice mist Qingnv tea she had stored into it, releasing her spiritual energy to activate the Qingnv tea.
Cang Jue's mouth twitched as he watched from the side. He had never seen such a strong and refreshing tea aroma wafting out, which he consciously drifted aside.
He is in spirit form now, and if he gets close, he will unconsciously compete for the scent of tea with Little Nine-Tailed Fox's companion.
Hua Li was somewhat surprised at Cang Jue's tactfulness. He understood his character a little better and his trust in him increased a little.
Cang Jue felt so distressed when he saw Little Nine-Tailed Fox put her Taoist partner directly into the bathtub. Even though the mermaids had countless spiritual treasures, they would not dare to waste them like that.
Out of sight, out of mind. He simply pulled the little girl with the same water attribute who was standing beside him in a daze to the other side to teach her water attribute magic. The little girl was the most suitable among the three. Since they had a destiny to meet, it would be good for him to pass on his skills.
In this way, Shi Zhixing lay in the bathtub for more than half a month, Cang Jue taught Hua Xue to practice martial arts for more than half a month, and Hua Li stayed beside Shi Zhixing and ate various high-level exotic beast meat snacks that Shi Zhixing had prepared for her in advance for more than half a month.
She had lost several drops of her vital energy and needed to rest well to replenish it.
It was not until she finished her snacks that Hua Li realized the pain for the other snacks in Shi Zhixing's storage ring. Her eyes swept across his empty fingers. The storage ring had long been reduced to ashes due to the red dragon snake's self-explosion. There was nothing left.
Not only her snacks but also the tens of thousands of top-grade spiritual jades that she had just collected. Thinking of this, she felt so distressed that she couldn't breathe, and she wanted to take Xuanyuan Ling out and whip her corpse.
Her eyes moved to Shi Zhixing's other hand and she was a little surprised to find the black jade ring still there. How come she hadn't noticed it before? She grabbed Shi Zhixing's finger and examined it carefully for a long time, but still couldn't see anything.
I don't understand, it's not easy to remain intact after such a huge impact.
"Senior Cang Jue, please come over and help me take a look at this ring." Hua Li couldn't figure out what it was even with her own special abilities, so she could only ask for help from Cang Jue, who had more knowledge than her.
Although her cultivation had regressed, she was still able to protect the black jade ring from Cang Jue, who was only a soul.
Cang Jue floated over upon hearing the sound, lowered his head to look at the black jade ring, but also didn't see anything, until the ring that was injected with soul power suddenly emitted a blue light. When Cang Jue sensed the things inside, his pupils suddenly contracted.
He turned around and cast an invisible barrier to block out the sound, and looked at Little Nine-Tailed Fox with a serious look in his jeweled eyes. "A drop of the Sea God's blood is sealed in the jade ring. This drop of blood alone can evolve the bloodline of a mermaid."
Cang Jue: "Do you know what this means?"
"I know." Hua Li answered truthfully. She was benefiting from the bloodline of the God Ancestor. Not only could her bloodline suppress monsters of higher levels than her, but her awakened innate abilities could also devour beings more powerful than her.
Cang Jue choked when he looked at Little Ninetail's clear gemstone eyes. He obviously didn't believe that she could know anything and could only continue:
"This Sea God's blood is precious in the lower realms, and it is even more precious in the upper realms. There are many geniuses in cultivation in the upper realms. It doesn't matter what your aptitude is, but what matters is the level of your bloodline. The higher the level of your bloodline, the further you can go."
After he finished speaking, Hua Li reacted and took a breath. He stared at Cang Jue closely as if he was afraid that he would snatch the ring away in the next second.
"Haha, Little Nine-Tailed Fox, don't be nervous. This thing is useless to the remnant soul. I won't snatch it from you. Besides..." Cang Jue didn't say anything else. Hua Li also saw the determination in his eyes and understood what he meant.
It's not that she is too petty to judge others by her own standards. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, no matter how solid the relationship is, it will fall apart because of the so-called treasure. What's more, she and Cang Jue are not familiar with each other.
"Then do you know how to extract this drop of essence blood, senior?" Hua Li's attitude changed quickly and he was thick-skinned, without any embarrassment of being on guard against others just now.
"The seal in the ring is weakening. Once your partner awakens his mermaid bloodline, he will naturally know how to use it.
Or you can ask your Taoist partner to refine my blood essence now." After saying this, Cang Jue pointed his lips in the direction of Shi Zhixing.
Just as Hua Li was about to turn around, Shi Zhixing's big hands quickly picked her up and put her into his neck. Hua Li hugged his neck out of habit and rubbed it before she struggled out and stood up to meet Shi Zhixing's eyes.
Seeing the pain and fear in his eyes... and the scrutiny? Hua Li still tried to ask: "Do you remember who I am?"
"Hua'er, my life." Shi Zhixing's hoarse voice said without any hesitation.
Hua Li felt relieved now, and she snuggled into Shi Zhixing's neck again, hugging his neck and rubbing it everywhere. Shi Zhixing's soul was hurt so badly, she was afraid that he would give her amnesia, but fortunately she was overthinking it.
Shi Zhixing lowered his eyes to hide the confusion that flashed across his eyes and quickly sorted out his current situation.
His mind was blank now, but he instinctively wanted to hug the kitten in front of him tightly to calm down, and he said such words without thinking. It was obvious that he had lost important memories.
The tip of his tongue naturally touched his cheek. Why did he subconsciously think that if he said he didn't remember, the kitten would definitely slap him in the face? He sniffed the familiar woody floral scent and closed his eyes, trying to find the kitten's memory...
"Hiss~" The more Shi Zhixing thought about it, the more his brain exploded and hurt, buzzing...
"What's wrong? Shishi, you feel uncomfortable somewhere." Hua Li stood up and stared at Shi Zhixing worriedly.
"Hua'er, I have a headache and want to sleep." Shi Zhixing's voice was restrained and a little weak.
Hua Li felt heartbroken, "Okay, go to sleep, I will always be with you."
He casually picked up a large bed, used his soul power to pull Shi Zhixing out of the bathtub, stripped off his clothes as quickly as possible, and stuffed him into the quilt on the large bed.
