Chapter 391 Disapproval
"This is really a huge offense."
Mu Qingyin had just returned to the mine tunnel of the jade mine when she heard Old Master Kuang sighing and muttering in a low voice: "It's all because of that merman woman who was so annoying. Otherwise, why would I treat them like that? What's wrong with me now? I've offended them so badly that I won't let them go back. Can I really boil them into merman cream to light a lamp?
But if we let them go, we will be deeply offended. Who knows if they will go crazy and come here to take revenge one day, and flood this place? "
"."
Mu Qingyin looked at Old Master Kuang helplessly, and after setting up the isolation array, she said, "Grandfather, if you are just worried that the two mermaids will come back for revenge next time, then let them swear a demon oath.
And I also have a way to prevent those two mermaids from coming here to take revenge even if they break their oath. It's actually very simple. We just need to set up a formation at the entrance of the cave."
"Is it that simple? The formation can also be waterproof?" Old Master Kuang asked in surprise.
"Yes." Mu Qingyin nodded, "In fact, it's not that the formation is waterproof, but that the formation can divert water away and prevent it from invading the formation."
She paused and said, "Originally, even if the incident with the two mermaids hadn't happened, I was planning to set up a formation outside. After all, the stone rats are afraid of water, and they will surely die if they encounter sea water.
We have so many rock rats on this beach, we can't just take no precautions, right? As the saying goes, it's better to be safe than sorry. What if the seawater floods back here one day, wouldn't all our hard work be in vain? "
"That's right, that's true. You've thought it through carefully, hahaha..." Old Master Kuang was relieved at once, and he laughed out loud, stroking his beard.
"Grandfather, what are you going to do with them now?" Looking at Old Master Kuang curiously, Mu Qingyin smiled and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the small boat they used and the building ship that the merman took out before are both magical instruments."
"It seems that the mermaid tribe is really not poor."
I heard that even that inconspicuous boat was a magical weapon. Thinking of the speed of the boat before, Old Master Kuang's eyes suddenly flashed and narrowed with interest.
He stroked his beard and was not in a hurry to answer Mu Qingyin's question. There was a thoughtful look on his face. After saying this, he did not speak for a long time.
Mu Qingyin was not in a hurry to get an answer, and did not urge him. She just quietly dug the jade mine nearby, waiting for him to think it over.
"What do you think? Are mermen considered monsters, cultivators, or warriors? If we make a contract with them, or use the Heart Pill on them, do you think it's appropriate?"
After thinking for a while, Old Master Kuang suddenly asked Mu Qingyin.
"Grandfather, I heard that mermaids are not much different from us humans except that they have a fish tail and can live in the sea. So they should not be considered pure monsters. I don't think it's appropriate to contract them."
Mu Qingyin shook her head: "Although I don't know whether their cultivation level is similar to ours, but I saw that the two mermaids just now seemed to have cultivation close to that of high-level great perfection warriors.
So if we use the Zhongxin Pill on them, we can't tell when the Zhongxin Pill will lose its effect."
It was obvious that Mu Qingyin disagreed with both of his proposals. Old Master Kuang immediately said, "Then let them redeem themselves with something."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 392: Prevention
Old Master Kuang chuckled and said, "I originally thought that mermaids could survive under the sea, but since they are so ungrateful, I don't need to be too polite to them.
We might as well make a contract with them just like we did with the two stone rats and let them stay to help us mine the spiritual stone mine. But since they don't look like monsters but more like humans, let's just forget it."
When he thought about the fact that he would have to bear the karma of making a contract with cultivators, and thought about the two mermaids, one of whom was arrogant and savage, and the other was deep-minded, neither of them was a good person, he immediately shook his head and completely gave up the idea of making a contract with them.
As for giving them the Heartfelt Pill...
Old Master Kuang pinched his chin and said, "There are many secrets in our family. With their current cultivation level, it is hard to say when the Zhongxin Pill will be useless.
So even if we give them a pill of sincerity, we can't really trust them. At most, we can just let them tell the truth."
After thinking for a while, Old Master Kuang shook his head again: "No, no, this Zhongxin Pill is also a big secret of our family. Compared with such a small matter as asking them to tell the truth, our secret is more important. Not right, not right..."
Looking up at Mu Qingyin, Old Master Kuang made up his mind and said, "Forget it, we'll just take the loss. We'll leave them alone for a while and ask them as many questions as we can. After that, we'll just let them redeem themselves."
He said this with a bit of resentment: "It's too cheap for them. No, I have to set the ransom higher. If they don't have enough stuff, we can detain one and let the other go back to get it. Anyway, we have already offended them badly, we are not afraid of offending them even more."
When Old Master Kuang said this, his nonchalant attitude made Mu Qingyin laugh.
"What do you think of my idea?" Seeing that Mu Qingyin was just laughing, Old Master Kuang also found it funny and asked with a chuckle.
"Good."
Mu Qingyin nodded seriously: "But we still have to take some precautions. Isn't it said that if the younger ones are beaten, the older ones will come? Since the younger ones can say that they want to flood our place, aren't they just holding on to the fact that we stone rats are afraid of sea water?"
As Mu Qingyin spoke, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and she felt extremely disgusted with the merman who threatened her grandfather and herself.
However, when facing Old Master Kuang, she did not show her true feelings on her face, and still said with a smile: "So even if there is a formation set up at the door, we must also be on guard inside."
Taking a look at the mine tunnel inside the mine, Mu Qingyin said: "We are going to mine this jade mine, so it is not appropriate to let the stone rat live in it directly.
My idea is that aren't rock rats the best at digging holes? So let them dig their holes higher up, and make the entire hole a slope. That way, even if rock rats are afraid of water, they won't have to worry about being easily drowned when someone floods them with water."
"You are right. This idea is very much in line with my opinion."
Old Master Kuang thought about Mu Qingyin's words carefully, and nodded with his eyes brightened: "Now that we have subdued these stone rats, there is no need to send so many guards here in the future.
We only need about ten people to guard here, so their residence doesn't need to be too big. But I'm planning to turn the deserted island into a training ground for our family. Otherwise, I'll always feel uneasy if I don't send more people there."
"Um."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 393 Fear
As early as when she saw the many houses that Old Master Kuang had the puppets build on the deserted island, Mu Qingyin knew that her grandfather would definitely be worried if there were not enough people guarding the place.
She then smiled and said, "It just so happens that the boat that the two mermaids used to come here was extremely fast. We can just leave it here so that if anyone here needs help, they can quickly take the boat to the deserted island for help."
"Extremely."
Old Master Kuang laughed and nodded: "You really think the same as I do."
He smiled and said, "We can't just keep calling it a deserted island. Why don't you think of giving it a proper name?"
Looking at Mu Qingyin, Old Master Kuang made it clear that he wanted her to use her brain to come up with this name.
"...Why not call it Wuyu Island?" Mu Qingyin thought for a while and said, "This is Wuyu Forest and Wuyu Sea, and the island above is naturally Wuya Island."
Old Master Kuang: "..."
He was stunned for a while before he suddenly burst into laughter: "Okay, let's call it Wuluo Island."
He kept laughing, and finally couldn't help saying, "You chose a name that's really easy to remember. If others heard it, they might think our Wuluo Island is really big."
"Grandfather—"
Mu Qingyin pouted and glared at Old Master Kuang, saying unhappily, "If you don't like this name, can't we change it? If you make fun of me like this, I'm going to tell my grandmother and my mother."
"Hey, who said I don't like this name? I just like it too much. How grand does Wuya Island sound? I won't change it, I'll stick with this one."
When Old Master Kuang heard that Mu Qingyin wanted to complain, how could this be allowed? He quickly stopped laughing and coaxed her, "Let's make a deal. We have something to discuss. You can't just complain to your grandmother and your mother..."
Seeing Mu Qingyin deliberately snorted, as if she was adamant, Old Master Kuang said with a bitter face: "You don't know, when your grandmother gets angry, she's really scary. Grandfather can't stand it. If your mother is involved..."
Old Master Kuang looked at Mu Qingyin with a resentful look on his face: "Alas, that would really cost Grandfather's life. Can you really bear it?"
Mu Qingyin: "..."
She couldn't help but burst out laughing and asked curiously, "Grandfather, grandmother and mother are really as scary as you say?"
"That's natural."
Old Master Kuang couldn't help but complain to Mu Qingyin about the "great achievements" of Old Madam Kuang when she was young and "making trouble without reason". He also took the opportunity to publicize his various actions of "bearing humiliation" and "loving his wife as if it were his life" - Mu Qingyin: "..." Grandfather, isn't he showing off? He left the two mermaids outside for most of the day.
If it weren't for the fact that Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin realized that they had been away from home for many days and didn't want to delay any longer, the two of them would have left them alone for even longer.
However, after more than half a day, Old Master Deng Kuang and Mu Qingyin took out the magic weapon "Immortal Binding Rope" to tie up the two men, and then took out the antidote and let the two men smell it.
After the two mermaids regained their strength to struggle, they realized that they were tied up with ropes that were not ordinary ropes. Not only the male mermaids, but even the arrogant and fearless female mermaid began to feel wary and afraid of Old Man Kuang and Mu Qingyin.
"You, you can't boil us into mermaid paste. Brother Yingyang is the young leader of our tribe. If you treat us like that, our leader will definitely not let it go when he knows what happened when we came here."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 394 See Through
The mermaid found that the more she struggled, the tighter the ropes bound her. She finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
Mermaids are naturally beautiful, and the mermaid woman's tears were quite pitiful.
But unfortunately, she met Old Master Kuang, who had no compassion for women at all, and Mu Qingyin, who was immune to women and, although soft-hearted, was mostly soft-hearted only towards his closest relatives.
So when the two of them watched her cry, not only did they not feel any sympathy, but Old Master Kuang even said with great disdain, "They say ugly people are often weird. I didn't believe it at first, but now I have to believe it."
Ugly people are full of weird things? How could I be related to an ugly person? The merman woman was stunned for a moment. She couldn't believe it and forgot to cry. She just stared at Old Master Kuang.
"Why are you looking at me? Humph, you have no shame. Not only are you ugly, but you don't even know that even if a warrior doesn't need to pay attention to etiquette and rules, it's not bad to stare at a man like you do."
He glared at the merman woman, and seeing that she was so ashamed and embarrassed that tears welled up in her eyes again, Old Master Kuang turned away and snorted.
Seeing the merman woman's face turned pale with grief and indignation after being scolded by Old Master Kuang in just a few words, Mu Qingyin laughed out loud, staring at her falling tears.
After watching for a long time, Mu Qingyin saw that the tears shed by the mermaid woman were no different from those of ordinary people, and did not turn into pearls as the legend said. She looked at her with questioning eyes, then looked at the mermaid man and frowned: "You are not mermaids?"
"..."
"..."
How did she know? The couple was puzzled as to why Mu Qingyin suddenly said that. They looked at each other and saw doubt in each other's eyes. Although the look disappeared quickly, it still could not escape Mu Qingyin's eyes.
"They are not mermaids?" Old Master Kuang was still in shock and looked at Mu Qingyin, "How did you know?"
"Grandfather, according to legend, mermaids can shed tears that turn into pearls. But you saw that she cried for a long time just now. Did any of her tears turn into pearls?"
Mu Qingyin pointed at the woman and said, "I wasn't sure at first, but their expressions just now clearly confirmed that my guess was correct."
"You are not mermaids? Then why did you pretend to be mermaids to trade with us? Tell me, who are you?"
Upon hearing that the two people in front of him were not mermaids, Old Master Kuang first thought that since these two people were not mermaids, they were most likely humans.
Since they are human beings, without any cultivation techniques, what does it matter if they are at the stage of high-level martial artists? How can they break through to the innate realm at any time?
In this case - Old Master Kuang was immediately tempted, and looked at the two of them with narrowed eyes, thinking that if he wanted them to tell him everything they knew, it would be safest to let them take the Zhongxin Pill.
He then looked at Mu Qingyin and said excitedly, "Zhongxin Pill?"
Mu Qingyin thought for a moment and replied, "They come from the depths of the Boundless Sea, so it's hard to say if the techniques they practice are special. How about we ask them first?"
Well, that's right, so I'll ask first. It would be safer to ask clearly and then consider whether to use Zhongxin Pills.
Old Master Kuang nodded slightly, and looked at the man and woman with a half-smile on his face, which made them feel creepy.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 395: Argument
The man had a bad feeling, so he endured the discomfort and argued with Old Master Kuang: "From the beginning, we never said we were mermaids."
"Yes, we never said that we are mermaids. How can you blame us for your misunderstanding?" The woman also shouted.
"Humph, since you are not mermaids, then why did the stone rats here think that the people trading with them were mermaids in the beginning? If you hadn't intentionally pretended to be mermaids, we don't believe that the stone rats here would have misunderstood."
Old Master Kuang snorted coldly and said threateningly, "You'd better tell the truth. What is your intention in pretending to be a mermaid? Otherwise, when I really force you to tell the truth, don't regret it."
". Before, it was indeed the mermaids who first came here to trade with the stone rats."
Seeing that Old Master Kuang was not joking, they really had a way to make him regret it. The man couldn't help but struggle again, and instantly felt the ropes on his body getting tighter and tighter again - the ropes were obviously not ordinary.
The man was startled, and after a moment's hesitation, he began to explain, "Later, we only discovered the transaction between them, but we didn't reveal it. That's why the stone rats here have always mistakenly believed that the people trading with them were still the same mermaids from before."
"Replace?" Old Master Kuang had no expression on his face, looking at the man inscrutable, "Are you human?"
"Yes." The man lowered his head and replied.
"If so, how did you find out about the deal between the mermaids and the stone rats here? Even if the deal between them wasn't secretive enough, it shouldn't be possible for them to tell everyone about it, right?"
Old Master Kuang looked at the man. Although the man in front of him was not a mermaid, he must have been very close to the mermaid tribe. He might have learned the mermaid cultivation method. It was hard to say whether that method could easily break through the innate state. Old Master Kuang immediately became more cautious and stared at him and asked, "And you are carrying a lot of magic weapons. Your own cultivation is only at the high level of perfection, right? If so, where did you get the magic weapons on you?"
"."Faced with Old Master Kuang's question, the man obviously didn't want to answer and just remained silent for a long time.
Old Master Kuang looked at him, and gradually an impatient look appeared on his face: "Have you thought about what to say?"
"...I, we are the descendants of immortals. At the beginning, my ancestors followed our master to the Boundless Sea to exterminate the sea beasts. Unexpectedly, the sea beasts were too powerful and none of our ancestors and our master could escape.
Even our ancestors' spiritual roots were destroyed because of this, and they no longer had the ability to leave, so they could only live on an island deep in the Boundless Sea... Later, our ancestor met the mermaids and was favored by the mermaid princess. "
Gritting his teeth, the man finally spoke incoherently: "After that, our ancestors had no choice but to stay here, and had no choice but to choose to continue to marry with the mermaids.
But leaving the Wuyu Sea and returning to the world of cultivation to embark on the path of immortality has always been the dream of our clan. However, perhaps because we carry the blood of mermen in our bodies, even if normal humans mate with each other, in addition to normal humans, there will still be mermen in the offspring.
Moreover, for hundreds of years, no one in our clan, even normal humans, has had the spiritual roots to embark on the path to immortality again."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 396 People's Hearts Have Changed
Having said this with difficulty, the man paused again.
Seeing that Old Master Kuang was not going to let him go and was still staring at him, waiting for him to continue, he swallowed his saliva and continued helplessly: "So, even if we want to continue the dream of our ancestors, we have to stay in the Endless Sea in the end. This is why we know that there is a deal between the mermaids and the stone rats here."
As he spoke, he remembered that Old Master Kuang had asked them about the magical weapons they had on them, so the man added, "The magical weapons we have on us are all left by our ancestors, and there aren't many left. It's only because I'm the young patriarch of our tribe that I can carry some with me."
"How much is some?" Looking at him intently, Old Master Kuang asked.
"..."
The man showed a reluctant look on his face. He paused for a long time and then struggled again before he said, "Besides the building boat I took out earlier and wanted to give it to you, there is also this small boat under us. Is there nothing else?"
"No more?" Old Master Kuang stretched out his hand towards his neck and pulled out a ring tied with a red silk thread.
Pulling off the ring, Old Master Kuang played with it in his hand. Looking at the man who looked as pale as death in an instant, he deliberately shook the ring and asked slowly, "What is this?"
Old Master Kuang sneered and looked at the man and said, "Don't tell me this is a token of love between you and someone. Since I can find this, my eyesight is definitely not that bad.
Hehe, I believed everything you said before. I guess your ancestor was able to survive not because of good luck, but because he was saved by the princess of the mermaid tribe? Hehe, I'm afraid your ancestor must have been unwilling to marry the princess of the mermaid tribe. But he didn't dare to refuse, so he didn't know how much resentment he had in his heart.
I guess the fate of the mermaid tribe that saved and took in your ancestors was not very good? Replace... Hehe, since you can even replace the transaction between the mermaids and the stone rats, can you also replace the position of the mermaid king?"
"You... No, it's not what you said."
The man stared at the ring in Old Master Kuang's hand and shook his head to deny Old Master Kuang's guess: "Mermaids live in the sea. Although we have half mermaid blood in our bodies, we are born human and cannot live in the sea for a long time."
"Didn't you also say that even if your people intermarry with each other, it is still possible to give birth to mermaid offspring? If that's the case, how can it not be possible for a mermaid from your tribe to become the mermaid king?"
Old Master Kuang would not be easily fooled by the man. Hearing this, he smiled and asked, "Do you think my guess is right?"
The man pursed his lips and stopped talking.
When Old Master Kuang saw this, he knew that his guess was correct, so he shook his head and sighed, "People's hearts have changed. The mermaids really saved an ungrateful person."
"Our ancestors were not ungrateful."
Old Master Kuang's words angered the man, but his fear and dread of Old Master Kuang still prevailed, so his words were not forceful, and instead sounded somewhat timid.
He was probably aware of it himself, and his already weak momentum suddenly lost. He murmured in defense, "Even if he saved my life, so what? Our ancestors did not want to have human blood in their bodies, and did not want their descendants to no longer have spiritual roots and be unable to embark on the path of immortality.
If it weren't for that mermaid princess who insisted on marrying our ancestor, how could we be in such an embarrassing situation now? Neither human nor mermaid?"
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 397: Full of Nonsense
"Hehe, then isn't the princess of the mermaid tribe your ancestor?"
The man's words made Old Master Kuang laugh: "Besides, why don't you say that if there was no princess of the merman tribe, your ancestors would not have been able to leave descendants, and there would be no such people as you who have forgotten your ancestors?"
"No, we haven't forgotten our ancestors. Our ancestors were humans. If the princess of the merman tribe hadn't taken advantage of the situation, if she could have sent our ancestors back to the world of cultivation or the secular world..."
Hearing the words "forgetting one's roots", it was obvious that the man couldn't accept it at all.
His face instantly turned grim, and he loudly retorted. But under the wide eyes of Old Master Kuang, his retort gradually faded away until it disappeared.
"Haha, if that's the case, how much does the princess of the merman tribe owe your ancestors? Saving her is not enough, but you also have to help send her back to the world of cultivation and the secular world?"
The man's words made Old Master Kuang and Mu Qingyin look at him with contempt. Old Master Kuang glared at him and said, "Then after she sends the person to the world of cultivation or the secular world, if she doesn't also offer spiritual stones or gold and silver treasures, it's still not kind enough? Tsk tsk, what did she save? Did she save her ancestors? Haha, I can't say much to ungrateful people like you. Let's not talk about those things. Just tell me directly, what is the use of exchanging this stone essence with us?"
Waving his hands, Old Master Kuang really didn't have much interest in arguing with him about the grievances between the man's ancestors and the mermaids. He was more curious about why these two people were so obsessed with the stone spirit. Subconsciously, Old Master Kuang felt that there was something fishy going on here.
"Why, why not? Because our whole clan lives in the depths of this boundless sea, and sea beasts come to invade from time to time. That's why we need to use this stone essence to forge weapons to protect ourselves against those sea beasts."
From feeling a little bit uncomfortable and guilty at the beginning, the man's expression gradually became more and more normal, and his words became more and more fluent.
But as he spoke, he looked at his Qiankun Ring without giving up, and his face showed reluctance and worry.
Worried?
What is he worried about? Old Master Kuang didn't believe what the man said. He was talking nonsense and his words were not worthy of his trust. However, he didn't point it out first, but secretly observed him carefully.
Seeing the strange expression of "worry" on his face, Old Master Kuang stretched out his hand and stroked his chin, and suddenly said to the man: "Do you want to take back the spiritual power in your Qiankun Ring by yourself, or do you want me to break it for you directly?"
"No, you can't do that. This is a relic of our ancestors, and it means a lot to us. If, if you really don't want to sell it to us, we won't buy it.
We are also willing to make amends for our previous offense and compensate you with magic weapons. If two are not enough, we can compensate you with three or four. But you cannot be so shameless as to snatch my Qiankun Ring. If you do this, what difference are you making with robbers? "
The man panicked, forgetting his fear and shouting as if he was dying: "If you insist on doing this, our people will not let you go, and will definitely come to you to demand justice."
"Fair?"
Old Master Kuang found it funny and asked jokingly, "Have the mermaids come to you to ask for justice? Since your ancestors came from the world of cultivation, you should understand that the bigger the fist, the more powerful it is, right?
Since we have the guts to take your Qian Kun Ring, do you think we will still be worried about being hunted down by your people?"
Looking at the man as if he were an idiot, Old Master Kuang was amused by him and laughed: "You are too ridiculous, aren't you? Your people were saved by the mermaids, but in the end they turned their backs on us and took the position of the mermaid king. You even have the guts to call us robbers? So you think you are so high and mighty that you can only betray the world, but not the world?"
The man: "."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 398: Horror
"Alright, stop playing dumb. Hurry up and take back the spiritual power attached to this Qiankun Ring as soon as possible. Otherwise, wait for me to break it. If you get hurt for no reason, don't blame anyone."
When the owner is still around, it is possible to break the spell of an ordinary object that has been recognized by its owner. However, if it is forcibly broken, it will not be so easy for the original owner, and he will be injured to some extent.
Of course, it doesn't do much good to the person who cracked it, especially when the two sides are equally powerful.
That's why Old Master Kuang didn't take action himself, but coaxed the man to take back the spiritual power attached to his Qiankun Ring.
The man was unwilling to do so. Even after being urged by Old Master Kuang's warning, he still hesitated to take the initiative.
"Hey, you're still being stubborn?"
Seeing the man's indifferent look, Old Master Kuang had no patience and took out a pill of loyalty, stuffed one into his mouth, and said, "Swear an oath. As long as you swear allegiance to me and our Kuang family, I will let you go. Otherwise."
Looking at the man with a smile, Old Master Kuang said gloomily: "These stone rats of mine haven't tasted meat for a long time."
"You, what did you give me to eat?"
He felt something stuffed in his mouth, and it melted in his mouth. The man didn't bother to do what Old Master Kuang said, and just struggled to make himself vomit. As a result, Old Master Kuang kicked him to the ground impatiently: "Swear as I say."
"I, I swear to be loyal to you and the Kuang family from now on."
The man had no choice but to swear an oath, and he didn't swear with his inner demon, and he wasn't a cultivator. A mere oath couldn't be taken seriously, so the old man swore as soon as he got angry.
The man never thought that his oath had just come into being when suddenly there was a "boom" in his head, as if something suddenly became different.
It seemed as if, if I didn't follow the oath I made in the future, I would immediately have a premonition that extremely bad consequences would occur.
He was stunned for a moment, thinking he was hallucinating. He shook his head vigorously. Unfortunately, no matter how he shook, the feeling from before could not be shaken off, and it became more and more obvious.
He couldn't help but look pale, looking at Old Master Kuang in horror: "."
"Okay, now let's take back the spiritual power of the Qiankun Ring."
Old Master Kuang spoke again with a pleasant face, and for a moment the man had no intention of disobeying. When he came to his senses, he found that he had actually done what Old Master Kuang said. After he finished, he had no regrets at all, and he felt that this was natural.
Seeing that the man was obedient and did what Old Master Kuang said without any resistance, the woman next to him widened her eyes in fear, and shouted in a trembling voice as if she didn't know him: "Ying, Yingyang brother, brother?"
What happened to Brother Yingyang? Was he possessed by a demon? He, he was so obedient that he gave away the Qiankun Ring? The woman was so shocked that she could not describe it. She immediately thought that the man must have taken the medicine just now. It must be a medicine that can drive people crazy.
When she came to her senses, she suddenly covered her mouth, curled up and trembled, fearing that she would be the next one to be forced to take medicine and go crazy.
Unfortunately, she reacted too late, and her scream of fear alerted Old Mrs. Kuang.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 399 The Truth 1
After glancing at her calmly, Old Master Kuang looked at Mu Qingyin. Mu Qingyin understood what he meant, and walked over and stuffed a pill of sincerity into the woman's mouth without saying anything.
Seeing that the woman had also taken the Heart Pill and swore an oath, Old Master Kuang felt relieved and put his spiritual power into the Qiankun Ring in his hand to check what was inside.
As soon as his spiritual power entered the Qiankun Ring, he couldn't help curling his lips at the size: Isn't this too small? It's a Qiankun Ring, how can it be worse than the Qiankun Bag he used before? He was disgusted in his heart, but he didn't forget to take a look at the things stored in it.
He was stunned for a moment, then he withdrew his mental power and asked the man, "Tell me, what did you do with the stone spirit before?"
"It is used to make mining tools. The mermaids discovered a spiritual stone mine in the deep sea of the Boundless Sea. Only tools made of stone essence can be used for mining.
But those tools are very wearable, so we have to trade with the stone rats here every month." The man answered quickly this time, telling the truth without any ambiguity.
"Humph, I knew that you never said a word of truth before."
After getting the answer, Old Master Kuang snorted coldly, and explained to Mu Qingyin who was looking at him curiously: "I felt something was wrong before. When I looked inside just now, I found a lot of spirit stones. I guessed that they might have discovered the spirit stone mine? Sure enough."
As he said that, Old Master Kuang handed the Qiankun Ring in his hand to Mu Qingyin and let her take a look at it.
Mu Qingyin took it and used her mental power to probe inside. She raised her brows, took out a spirit stone and looked at it carefully in her hand: "The quality of this spirit stone mine seems to be very good?" At least it was much better than the spirit stone mine they discovered.
"This spiritual stone mine is deep under the sea, so it's natural that the quality is good." Old Master Kuang stroked his beard, then looked at the man and asked, "What you told me before may not be entirely true, right? Tell me more, what is the real truth?"
"It was the princess of the mermaid tribe who accidentally saved our ancestor. She fell in love with him at first sight and secretly placed him on an uninhabited island.
Later, because our ancestor was seriously injured, in order to obtain the mermaid's healing medicine, he had to accept the love of the mermaid princess and endure humiliation to stay with her.
But just when our ancestor's injuries were gradually recovering and he was able to return to the world of cultivation, the then merman king discovered that the merman princess had stolen the tribe's elixir and was with our ancestor. He immediately became furious and severely injured our ancestor, and completely destroyed his spiritual roots.
The Mermaid King even wanted to kill our ancestor, but at that time the Mermaid Princess found out she was pregnant. In the end, the Mermaid King spared our ancestor's life for the sake of the child in her belly. But our ancestor had lost his spiritual roots, and it would be impossible for him to return to the world of cultivation on his own. "
This time, the man no longer concealed anything and told the truth without hesitation when asked.
He clenched his fists, his expression excited: "If it weren't for the Mermaid King, why would our ancestors be forced to stay and not take us back to the world of cultivation? We, the descendants of immortals, can only stay in an unknown island deep in the Boundless Sea and become hybrids that are neither human nor mermaid."
When he said the word "bastard", the man's face twisted, and then he showed a look of grief, embarrassment and humiliation.

Chapter 400 The Truth 2
Old Master Kuang looked at him, his face cold and unmoved, even revealing a hint of contempt.
The man felt more and more embarrassed, but he could not feel any dissatisfaction towards Old Master Kuang. He gritted his teeth and continued, "What's more terrifying is that the descendants of our branch have not only completely lost their spiritual roots, but can no longer become high and mighty immortals.
He was even bullied by dogs and looked down upon by those truly pure mermaids.
Those pure mermaids regard our tribe as pigs and dogs. But it is us who have noble blood, and the mermaids are the inferior race, even worse than pigs and dogs.
But the situation is stronger than us. All along, our tribe has been guarded against and suppressed by the Mermaid King, and we have had to live with humiliation.
It wasn't until several decades later that Qian finally got a chance to come forward. At that time, the young and strong Mermaid King was accidentally injured and died, and the new Mermaid King was still young, so he was slowly won over by us."
The man said, finally revealing a fierce and triumphant smile on his face: "The new mermaid king trusts us very much, and our people have completely controlled the entire mermaid tribe in just ten years.
From then on, the entire mermaid tribe was under the feet of our tribe. My father, a mermaid from our tribe, became the king of the mermaid tribe. And those mermaids who thought they were of pure blood and noble birth.
Those mermaids who used to look down on us have become worse than pigs and dogs. We have either sent them to the deep sea spirit stone mines to mine, or they can only spin yarn for us day and night."
Seeing the arrogant smile of the man, Old Master Kuang couldn't help but shook his head: "Oh, that mermaid princess is so pitiful. As a princess, she can fall in love with anyone else, but she has to fall in love with a human of a different species? Doesn't she know that people who are not of the same species must have different hearts? If she had known earlier that the offspring she gave birth to with a human would eventually be unwilling to acknowledge her. They would even consider it a shame to have her blood in their bodies. Who knows what she would dare to think?"
".What else can she feel? If she could have predicted it, she would have run as far away as possible from that human." Mu Qingyin also looked helpless, "How stupid! She sacrificed her own tribe for a man."
"We should learn from this incident." Old Master Kuang said seriously, "I will write it down when I go back so that all the members of our family can learn from it."
"Well, that's right. But what should these two do now?"
After hearing such a creepy "revenge" story, Mu Qingyin not only completely lost her good impression of their entire tribe, but also completely lost her trust in them. Even though these two people took the loyalty pill, she still had a natural guard against them.
Mu Qingyin used secret voice transmission to bluntly tell Old Master Kuang about her feelings. She specifically said, "So we should not let them have the chance to touch our family's secrets."
"Just as I thought."
Old Master Kuang agreed with Mu Qingyin's words. He nodded and said in secret, "Don't worry. Since they also have a spirit stone mine, we can ask him to draw the topography of the spirit stone mine. Then let them take the stone essence back first.
After all, at least this time, we can't follow them back to take over the spiritual stone mine. In this case, let them dig first, and we will do it when we are ready next time."
In just a moment, Old Master Kuang had an idea and said to Mu Qingyin.
"good."
