Heaven-defying Phoenix - C100

Accompanying Qin Zheng’s finger was an icy cold gust of wind that swept out like a raging wave, directly colliding with Meng Rou Er’s claw.

“Pfft!”

Qin Zheng’s face was as cold as a blade, his eyes flashed with killing intent.

Moreover, Meng Rou Er’s gaze on him made him extremely unhappy. It was as if she was looking at prey, and wanted to stick onto him. It was already not bad that he did not stop the assassination.

“Ah! You! You dare to ruin my appearance? You will all die a miserable death!”

Meng Rou Er covered her face, as if she was crazy. Fresh blood flowed down from the gaps of her fingers, making her look especially sinister.

Jiu Mu Li was also somewhat shocked, she knew that Jiu Mu Li was usually cold and ruthless, but never expected that it would be this ruthless. Seeing that Meng Rou Er still dared to shout, she was afraid that Qin Zheng would actually kill her, and could not help but shouted: “Scram!”

“Just you wait.”

Seemingly sensing his killing intent, Meng Rou Er’s body trembled. Only now did he realise just how terrifying Qin Zheng was, and did not dare to stay.

“Just you wait, I will make you beg for death.”

As Meng Rou Er fled in panic, she cursed in her heart. She wished that she could swallow those two alive, she had been doted on since she was young, and with anything she wanted, she could kill anyone who was displeased, but no one dared to speak a word, who would have thought that she would suffer a huge loss today.

Thinking about how that beautiful man’s casual strike had completely dissolved her attack and even affected her body, her resentment grew even stronger for a moment.

“You shouldn’t have let her go.”

Qin Zheng looked at Jiu Mu Li coldly, and was a little displeased. To dare to be jealous of his woman’s appearance, he deserved to die, he had merely given her a slight punishment.

Jiu Mu Li was speechless, she shook her head and said, “In the end, I was the one who provoked her first.”

“If you are like this, it will be very easy for you to die in the future.” Qin Zheng said coldly.

Jiu Mu Li remained silent, she knew what the other party was referring to. In this world, the strong preys on the weak, and there was simply no logic to it.

But in the end, she was still influenced by her past life. It was still very difficult for her to casually take someone’s life away. She understood the principles behind it, but to do so was truly very difficult.

Qin Zheng did not speak anymore, and handed everything over to Jiu Mu Li.

“Thank you, seniors, for saving my life.”

Seeing that Meng Rou Er had left, the mermaid thanked him, trembling with fear.

Jiu Mu Li saw that Qin Zheng did not have any intention to intervene, and anxiously said: “There’s no need to be so polite, the danger has been resolved, you should leave quickly.”

She still had to find the ‘Heavenly Flame’. She did not have time to reminisce about the past. Moreover, she only could not bear it for a while and did not have any intentions.

Seeing Jiu Mu Li’s magnanimity, the Mermaid relaxed her nervous face. Earlier, she was very worried that other than the wolf den, she had also entered the tiger’s den again, and seeing that Jiu Mu Li did not seem to care, she hesitated for a bit before saying: “Senior, please be careful, that Meng Rou Er is the granddaughter of the Sea of Nine Serenities. The First Island Owner has doted on her a lot, and her cultivation is profound.

Qin Zheng sneered, showing extreme disdain.

Jiu Mu Li stared at Qin Zheng and was a little speechless. Seeing the tense look on the Mermaid’s face, Jiu Mu Li laughed: “Thank you for your good intentions, it’s fine, you can leave first, we’ll leave after a while.”

“Oh.”

It was with much difficulty that she mustered up the courage to say this, since her gift was very precious, and Meng Rou Er had only been forced to say it because she coveted for it, and was unwilling to be hunted down in the end.

The tears of the mermaids could not be freely given away. This was the teachings of their merfolk.

Jiu Mu Li did not know what she was thinking about, and laughed while shaking her head: “No need, it’s just a small matter, if you have the heart, then it’s fine, and, don’t call me senior, I’m Jiu Mu Li.”

The Mermaid nodded, shook her lips, and finally closed her eyes. Her rosy lips slowly parted to form a slit.

“Woo woo …”

A weak voice rang out. It was still as pleasing as the sounds of nature, but it caused people to feel an unprecedented sadness.

Jiu Mu Li stared blankly for a moment, not knowing what the little fellow in front of him was doing. For a moment, she was in a difficult position.

“Don’t move.”

On the other hand, Qin Zheng warned her as a strange glow appeared in his eyes.

The mermaid’s cry was even more pleasant to hear than before. It sounded like she was crying.

Along with the sound of crying, the entire sea seemed to be filled with endless sadness. The waves on the surface of the sea became increasingly turbulent, as if they were extremely sad as their entire body trembled.

The earth dragon flipped over the mountain, causing mountains to collapse and the earth to split. The ocean trembled, and the shock waves were like snow.

“Boom!”

In the distance, two waves that were as tall as mountains collided. Shocking ripples rose and fell, covering the sky like a curtain of water.

“Woo woo …”

The mermaid’s crying continued, and the entire sea seemed to be grieving silently.

Mermaid, is she really the daughter of the sea?

Jiu Mu Li was completely shocked by the scene before her. She did not know why the mermaid cried, but she could hear the sadness in the song and wanted to stop it, but she did not dare disturb her when Qin Zheng reminded her. She was infected by the same sadness in her heart, and she even wanted to cry.

The crying of the mermaids could actually affect their hearts!

Jiu Mu Li was shocked once again. If her mind wasn’t firm, she might have cried along with him.

Very quickly, she noticed that a drop of golden liquid was flowing out from the corner of the Mermaid’s eye, finally dripping from her tears.

“What’s that?”

Jiu Mu Li opened her eyes wide, the gold liquid, was like a pearl, releasing a gold halo, it was extremely dazzling.

Jiu Mu Li could also feel the surging spirit energy inside.

Before the golden liquid could fall to the ground, it was lifted up by the mermaid’s hands.

The crying stopped at this moment. The whole sea surface returned to its previous calm, and even the waves calmed down.

“This is for you, my benefactor. This is the tears of a mermaid.”

The mermaid smiled and said, with an embarrassed and innocent look, she solemnly placed the Tears of the Mermaid in front of Jiu Mu Li.

“I, I don’t use this.”

Jiu Mu Li was slightly embarrassed. Looking at the scene just now, she knew that the Tears of the Mermaid was definitely a treasure, but she did not think that she had done anything serious in return.

“Please accept it. I’ve just said it before, our Mermaid race is not a race that doesn’t repay favors. I hope you don’t mind, this is the best gift I can give you.”

The mermaid’s voice was still like a song, her eyes filled with sincerity.

“Take it. The Mermaid race is the daughter of the sea. Their tears are the essence of the sea, allowing you to gain the friendship of the sea.”

Qin Zheng said indifferently, obviously not expecting such a harvest.

Whether it was the mermaid or Meng Rou Er, they were both ants in his eyes. He initially did not want to bother with them, but he never expected Jiu Mu Li to suddenly meddle in her business, and the benefits were beyond her expectations. For a moment, he did not know what to say.

“Well, thanks a lot.”

Jiu Mu Li no longer refused, in order to not be unreasonable and decisively extended her hand.

The mermaid smiled happily and slowly placed the golden liquid into Jiu Mu Li’s hands.

A strand of cool and refreshing will rose from her palm, and a golden liquid began to flow into her palm. She could not feel any weight on her palm at all.

“What a magical feeling.”

Jiu Mu Li was surprised, she planned to look carefully to see what it was, but just as she thought about it, the glazed palace lamp suddenly appeared, turned in her palm, and following that, the drop of golden liquid was completely swallowed by the glazed palace lamp.

Sh * t, I still can’t see clearly what it is, small lamp, you’re too much!

Jiu Mu Li was speechless as she watched the tears of the mermaids fall into the space of the Glazed Palace.

He had just swallowed a plant heart and now he’s back again, he’s simply a glutton.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The glazed palace lamp coquettishly circled Jiu Mu Li and landed on her shoulder.

“Alright, since it’s of great use, I’ll just wait.”

Jiu Mu Li curled her lips. She was a little eager to see the glazed palace lamp devouring everything, in the end, it would definitely bring her a big surprise.

Qin Zheng seemed to have sensed something, his gaze landed on Jiu Mu Li’s body in doubt. He could not see the glazed palace lamp, but he could feel that the bloodline aura on Jiu Mu Li’s body had become heavier.

Qin Zheng cursed in his heart.

However, the current Jiu Mu Li could not care about anything else, her entire mind was completely focused on the space inside the glazed palace lamp.

After the drop of golden liquid was swallowed, it finally fell onto the third lotus. In an instant, the transparent lotus flower seemed to have come to life as all of its transparent threads of silk were instantly plated with a layer of gold, as if a transparent vein had been injected with golden blood.

A weak vigor instantly permeated through the entire lotus, and the bright golden light brightened up. Very soon, it had matured by more than half.

Upon closer inspection, there was the first blood-red lotus flower bloomed within the palace. A faint blood-red glow was flickering. That was the High Wisdom Light, it could increase her comprehension ability and instantly increase her thinking speed by tens of times.

There was still a portion of it that was transparent, and had not been formed yet. This was due to consuming the medicinal ingredients and a plant heart, but it was still too early to mature, so he did not know what kind of effects it would have.

The third was the golden lotus which had swallowed the tears of the mermaids. At this moment, the golden lotus was already slowly blooming.

A message suddenly entered her mind.

“Flower of Desire!”

Jiu Mu Li was extremely shocked. The third lotus flower was actually the Flower of Desire.
