Chapter 171 Qing Yu
Chapter 171 Qing Yu
When Lin Fuping was addicted to "sucking fish", Qingmiao had already brought the little mermaid to the deepest part of Guiquandu.
It was a palace located on a deep sea abyss, majestic and dignified.
However, unlike other people's impression of the palace, there was no one here.
"Third brother, you wait outside. Second brother and I will go in."
Qingmiao gave instructions to Qingbo, then swam in with Qingzhi.
Qingbo had no idea of being excluded and isolated because they were responsible for the most dangerous part of this mission.
Besides, he is not a fool.
He had sensed the mysterious atmosphere after the two people came back, but it shouldn't be a bad thing, and it was related to the girl from the Sword Sect who was brought back.
I just don't know what good things that girl from the Sword Sect can bring to the mermaid tribe?
Qing Miao led people through a long corridor and into a spacious hall with stairs.
The hall was empty except for a grand throne on the steps.
On the back of the throne is a mermaid carved out of aquamarine crystal. He/she has his/her hands crossed in front of the chest, and in his/her hands are diamond-shaped crystals sparkling with golden light.
In front of the throne is a three-meter-high stone pillar, and on top of the stone pillar is a circular platform with a diameter of one meter.
Qing Miao carefully placed the little mermaid on the platform, and only now could the little mermaid get a full glimpse of the whole picture.
With her snow-white skin, delicate features, golden hair and shark tail, she looks more like a doll.
But now the doll is sleeping, and its little face is wrinkled, looking quite aggrieved.
As the little mermaid was placed on the dais, golden light spread out in stripes towards the dais, then passed through the stone pillars and gathered at the throne.
After Qing Miao put the little mermaid down, he retreated to the bottom of the stairs, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and bowed towards the throne.
"Your Majesty, we have successfully brought the princess back, and we have come here to report."
Amidst the flashing golden light, a golden mermaid shadow that was larger than the throne appeared on the throne.
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Qingyu looked at her daughter on the round table and felt relieved.
"It is our duty. I am ashamed that the princess was forced to use her life protection."
"This has nothing to do with you. When she was snatched away, I knew that the life protection would be triggered.
You did a great job bringing her back after one trigger."
Life protection is a unique skill of the mermaid royal family.
The royal bloodline can only be protected once in a lifetime, while the Mermaid King and the next generation of Mermaid Kings have three chances to do so.
Moreover, Life Guardian is a passive skill. When in an absolutely dangerous situation, it will be triggered automatically, forming a golden barrier to protect the mermaid.
At the same time, Qingyu, as the king of the mermaids, would also feel something.
During the life protection period, the mermaid cannot move, and after the life protection ends, the mermaid will fall into a deep sleep.
If you are not out of danger by then, you will be forced to trigger the second life protection, or die on the spot.
Originally, Qingyu thought that his daughter's second life protection would be triggered, or the mermaids would suffer heavy losses before he could bring her back.
Unexpectedly, the final price was just some spiritual objects, which was a surprise to her.
"I originally thought that it was too dangerous here, and Yue'er would be better off in Guiquan Ferry, so I sent her back out of selfishness. I didn't expect that it would harm her."
"It is because we failed to protect the princess. Please punish us, Your Majesty."
Qingmiao and the other man bent their bodies even deeper.
"It's not your fault. After all, no one expected this to happen. Where is that mermaid now?"
The mermaids have always been united, but unexpectedly something went wrong within the tribe.
"He has been imprisoned in the Dark Sea Cave, awaiting his fate."
"Alas! Her brother was a warrior who died for the tribe not long ago. Her only living relative is this sister. Since Yue'er is fine, let her spend the rest of her life in the Youhai Cave."
Qingyu was glad to let her daughter live since she was fine. But imprisonment in the Youhai Cave was enough to punish her.
As for life protection...one loss is still within her acceptable range.
"Yes"
Qing Miao responded respectfully
Although Qingyu didn't say anything else, Qingmiao didn't show any intention of leaving.
"What? Do you have anything else to do?"
Qingyu looked at Qingmiao with a puzzled expression.
I will be on guard here, and all affairs of Guiquandu are handed over to the Great Elder. Is there anything he needs to be informed of?
"Your Majesty, I have found someone who can remove the bad air."
"What!?"
Qingyu stood up suddenly, and the figure transmitted from a distant place became vague and had poor contact.
"Do you know what you just said?"
Surprise, doubt, and disbelief!
"Of course I know! Your Majesty, I saw it with my own eyes!"
Qing Miao pulled Qing Zu over and told him about what he had encountered during this mission, especially the part where Lin Fuping helped Qing Zu get rid of the foul air.
Qingyu looked at Qingzhao, and even though they were far apart, he could see that he showed no signs of any abnormality.
"Are you really sure that you were possessed by the foul air at that time?"
Qingzhi nodded
"Your Majesty, the wound was on my body at the time. I still feel the lingering fear of the foul air entering my body. There is no doubt about it."
“Qingmiao, you said that the child has a pure soul, or is he Bai Hanshi’s disciple?”
Qing Miao nodded
"Then it should be credible."
"But Your Majesty, I don't know what method she used at the time. And... the foul qi just entered Ah-Zi's body and she got rid of it. I just don't know if she has a way to get rid of the foul qi that has been in the body for a long time."
Qingmiao was afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so he took precautions for Qingyu in advance.
"We'll know if it works after trying it. In three months, it will be time for rotation."
When Qing Miao heard this, his heart sank.
The rotation frequency is getting faster and faster
"This time...how many people were injured?"
"Twelve"
Qing Miao's heart tightened
"Your Majesty, why don't we rotate them in advance? What if Fu Ping can really be eliminated in a short period of time?"
"You have a point, but those who were rotated back earlier haven't recovered yet!"
Qingmiao proposed:
"Then...why not send those twelve warriors back individually in advance?"
Qingyu's eyes turned cold and he looked at Qingmiao
"Do you know how serious it would be if they didn't return to Guiquan Ferry as ordered?"
"I know, but those are the lives of twelve people in our tribe! Now that we have hope, how can we give up?"
Qingyu was also filled with heartache when he heard this.
These are all her people!
"Ah, let me think about this matter.
You should leave the child at Guiquan Ferry first, and treat him according to my will."
If we want to let these twelve people go back early, we must also make preparations here.
Before the matter was confirmed, she was not going to tell her tribe members that the foul air could be removed.
After all, despair after hope is the most terrifying.
When Qing Miao left the royal court with a heavy heart and found Lin Fuping, she had a dazed look on her face. She hugged the little mermaid and then touched the mermaid's tail.
Just... it was pretty good fun.
