I am a support player in the cultivation world

Chapter 178 Pleading

"Qingyue? Are you the mermaid princess?"

Lin Fuping looked at her golden hair and tail, feeling somewhat confused.

According to Master Miao, there are at most two mermaid king bloodlines in the world. The little mermaid brought out from Cangqiaoyuan is one of them.

but...

If she remembered correctly, the little mermaid was only half the length of her arm and was still a cub.

The creature in front of him was more than one meter long and looked like a child of six or seven years old. How could it be the little mermaid held in the arms of Master Miao? ?

but...

Lin Fuping looked at her face again

Ah! So cute! (?＞?＜?)

Mermaids are all very beautiful, and little mermaids are all very cute.

But this little mermaid in front of me is unexpectedly and unprecedentedly cute!

Qingyue nodded, looking like a child pretending to be serious. She crossed her hands in front of her chest and bowed to Lin Fuping.

"Oh, don't!"

Lin Fuping quickly dodged

Now she has seen the etiquette of the mermaids. Crossing her hands in front of her chest is the highest etiquette of the mermaids, which means I will be loyal to you.

Generally, only the Mermaid King can bear such a great gift.

"Friend Lin, as the princess of the mermaid tribe, I beg you to stay in Guiquan Ferry."

Lin Fuping paused and sighed in his heart

It's time to come.

She had anticipated this scene, but she didn't expect that it was Qingyue who proposed it.

"Little sister, you are still young. Let us adults worry about these things."

Lin Fuping didn't want to ask who asked her to come because she was afraid of hearing an answer she didn't want to hear.

Qingyue looked at Lin Fuping seriously

"I'm not young. If calculated according to the age of humans, I'm over 25 years old."

Lin Fuping choked, and looked Qingyue up and down with wide eyes, as if to say, "Are you trying to scare me?"

Seeing that she didn't believe him, Qingyue explained anxiously:

"It's true. I'm not lying to you. We mermaids have a long lifespan. Even the most ordinary mermaids who haven't practiced cultivation can live for a thousand years. So our childhood is very long, as long as three hundred years."

Lin Fuping has no expression on his face

Thinking about what I had just said, and thinking about the strange expressions of some of the little mermaids when I was coaxing them to call me sister.

Haha, it turns out that the clown is actually me!

"Um...Princess!"

Lin Fuping couldn't call her sister, and looking at Qingyue's appearance, he couldn't call her sister either. He could only respectfully call her princess.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, just call me Qingyue."

Lin Fuping didn't bother about the address and went along with her wishes.

"Okay, Qingyue. You know I'm a disciple of the Sword Sect, right? I came out this time just to gain experience. So, I'm sorry I can't stay in Guiquandu for long."

Qingyue looked at Lin Fuping, opened her mouth and spit out a bubble, then popped the bubble to reveal a small storage ring.

Qingyue handed the storage ring to Lin Fuping

"These are the resources I can get. If you stay in Guiquandu, all my future resources will be yours. These are enough for you to break through the refining stage and reach the fusion stage."

“But this is not about resources…”

Lin Fuping held his forehead with his hand, feeling helpless.

It seems that although Qingyue is older than himself, his mind is still somewhat immature.

But it’s much better than when I was six or seven years old. At that time, I was thinking about candied haws all day long.

Lin Fuping calmed down and explained to Qingyue

"Qingyue, do you know? Training is not only for seeking resources, but more for tempering the heart of Tao and pursuing the great way."

If it is just for the resources, and you have your own little world, and the support of the Jiang family behind you, why bother coming to the South China Sea?

Qingyue is confused

She doesn’t understand. Isn’t this what the human race wants most?

Lin Fuping turned around and sat on the clamshell bed, patted the seat next to him, and called Qingyue over.

Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then sat down.

"Qingyue, can you tell me why you want me to stay?"

"Because you can remove the foul air. As long as you are here, no one of our kind will be infected."

"I can return to Quandu regularly to purify and treat them."

This was Lin Fuping's original plan.

With this sea of ​​destiny, she can return to Quandu anytime and anywhere.

"But it's very dangerous outside. Grandpa Qingmiao told me. What should you do if something happens to you?"

this...

Lin Fuping could not refute

She couldn't guarantee that she would not encounter danger.

After a moment's silence, Lin Fuping spoke.

"Qingyue, you have to know that I am a cultivator. As a cultivator, you cannot be afraid of danger.

Moreover...I am in Guiquandu, and the highest I can achieve in my entire life is a cultivator in the fusion stage, which means I will only live for 5,000 years.

What about five thousand years later? What will happen to the mermaids?

But if I train outside, as long as I am still alive, I have the confidence that I can break through the fusion and become a Mahayana cultivator, or even a supreme one, which is not impossible.

That way, my life span can be extended to ten thousand years."

Qingyue lowered her head. She knew that her request was unreasonable, but she just... just didn't want to let any more of her tribe members sacrifice.

It’s obvious that the mermaids... have already sacrificed enough.

The bean-sized tears slid down and turned into white pearls.

"Hey, don't cry!"

Lin Fuping was somewhat at a loss

"I don't want...I really don't want any more of our tribe members to be infected and lose their minds."

Qingyue hugged Lin Fuping tightly, buried her head in her chest and burst into tears.

From her tearful statement, Lin Fuping understood why she was so determined to keep him in Guiquandu.

She said that no one asked her to come. She came here as soon as she recovered her strength after learning that Lin Fuping had the ability to remove evil spirits.

She said she had an older sister who was dedicated to taking care of her and was very gentle, just like a mother.

But that sister finally threw her into the Cangqiao Abyss crying.

Because my sister's brother was injured by a foul beast on the battlefield, he was ordered to be sent to the Cangqiao Abyss.

She cried and begged the guards to let them spend more time together, but was refused.

Because the mermaids who were injured by the evil beasts have very unstable temperaments. If they suddenly attack and hurt people, they will also infect others.

As for asking her to accompany him into Cangqiao Abyss, that was even more impossible.

Once a siren devours its own kind, its strength will greatly increase, and those of its kind who enter the Cangqiao Abyss for purification will be in danger.

Qingyue clearly remembered the despair in the sister's eyes.

After a while, when she gathered herself together and returned to her side, the gentle look in her eyes was gone.

She looked at herself for a while, her eyes cold and she murmured:

"Why? Why won't you get infected?"

Qingyue was horrified. Before she could tell her mother about this, she was knocked unconscious by her sister and quietly taken out of Guiquan Ferry.

To this day, Qingyue still clearly remembers the madness she felt when she threw herself into the Cangqiao Abyss.

"You are the blood of the Mermaid King. I will be fine if I eat you. After I eat you, my brother will come back."
