At this time, the little girl Xue Nian had already approached curiously and picked up a Blood Pearl from the ground.
“What’s this? Can you eat it? Is it tasty?” Xue Nian asked.
This was Xue Nian’s characteristic triple question.
Xue An couldn’t help but laugh silently, “Silly Nian’er, those are the tears of a mermaid!”
Xue Nian paused, and then she picked up all the Blood Pearls on the ground and approached the mermaid.
“Mermaid sister, these are your tears; don’t cry anymore, okay!”
The Sea Demoness shuddered, a complex expression surfacing on her stunning face.
Since ancient times, the members of their Demon Race had been hunted by human Cultivators.
All for the sake of obtaining their tears.
Just like what Ming Yuan had done, everyone’s first reaction upon seeing them was to take possession.
Only this little girl had a heart of gold.
The Sea Demoness’s hands were like those of a regular person, so she reached out to take the Blood Pearls and said with a trembling voice, “Thank you!”
Xue Nian blinked her big, shiny black eyes, “Sister, what’s there to thank for? These were yours to begin with!”
These words made many people shake.
To be honest, if it wasn’t for Xue An being there,
there would have already been people who couldn’t restrain themselves from stepping forward to subdue the Sea Demoness.
After all, she was a moving treasury.
Yet, Xue Nian taught everyone a lesson.
It made many feel ashamed of themselves.
“Dad, the mermaid sister looks so pitiful! Help her, please!” Xue Xiang also spoke up at this time.
Xue An smiled faintly, “Okay! Today, I’ll send her home.”
After speaking, Xue An looked up at the Sea Demoness and said in a deep voice, “I save you today only because you have never harmed anyone; if you cause trouble in the future, do you understand the consequences?”
The Sea Demoness trembled and then bowed respectfully, “Immortal Master, rest assured, this demon understands!”
“Everyone, go down!” Xue An ordered.
The crowd dispersed from the Sea Viewing Platform and watched from a distance.
Xue An stood beside the Sea Viewing Platform, gazed at the moonlight, and then threw a fierce punch.
The Sea Viewing Platform, built to be extremely sturdy, first made creaking noises before silently crumbling to pieces under that single punch.
The sea breeze blew past, and the formerly towering platform vanished without a trace.
As if it had never existed in the first place.
Many onlookers were dumbfounded.
At this moment,
there was a seemingly bottomless Sea Eye beneath the Sea Viewing Platform, emanating an extremely cold aura.
Several chains were binding a mermaid covered in scars, suspending her above the Sea Eye.
Xue An’s gaze turned cold.
He knew that this was the true form of the Sea Demoness; what had appeared on the platform was nothing more than an illusion created by her Mental Power.
Ming Yuan had a ruthless plan.
He was using the power of the Sea Eye to suppress the Sea Demoness.
If not for Xue An’s discovery, this Sea Demoness would have been doomed forever.
Moreover, Xue An couldn’t directly break the chains now because they were connected to the Sea Eye.
The power of the Sea Eye in the vast ocean was no trivial matter.
Seemingly realizing the difficulty ahead, the Sea Demoness slowly opened her eyes and gave Xue An a weak nod.
“Immortal Master, if you can’t save me, then please end my life!”
As she spoke, flesh continued to fall from her cheeks.
Clearly, her injuries were severe.
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian, the two little girls, felt so heartbroken they were on the verge of tears.
Many others sighed softly.
They all thought that Mr. Xue had done his best.
But this was not something that could be handled merely by doing one’s best!
“Immortal Master, I’m already grateful that you killed that villain. If it’s too difficult, please don’t take the risk! This demon is willing to die for liberation!” The voice of the Sea Demoness grew weaker.
She was being eroded by the power of the Sea Eye.
Xue Xiang and Xue Nian anxiously looked toward their father.
All eyes were also focused on Xue An.
Xue An’s eyes drooped, and his face bore a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
“Even the Sea Demoness is trapped by the sea!”
As he spoke, Xue An raised his head and looked at the Sea Demoness on the brink of death.
“Today, I shall rescue you. If the mountains and seas do not cross over for you, I will!”
With those words, Xue An called out lightly, “Let me borrow the light of a billion stars!”
Countless starlight beamed down from the sky above, starting to converge in Xue An’s palm.
Gradually, an orb imbued with the light of innumerable stars appeared in Xue An’s hand.
This miraculous scene dumbfounded everyone in the distance.
Could Mr. Xue really be an Immortal?
This thought suddenly emerged in the hearts of many.
At that moment, Xue An forcefully threw the orb of light downward.
A dazzling streak of starlight flashed by.
The immense power of the starlight utterly shattered the Sea Eye.
Towering waves rose up.
Xue An sneered, “A mere body of water dares to be reckless before me!”
With that, Xue An snapped his fingers.
The towering waves vanished as if they encountered something terrifyingly fearful and dissipated quickly.
The sea surface regained its calm.
And the Sea Demoness had been rescued and brought to shore.
But, having been suppressed for too long, she was too weak to stand and could only look at Xue An with grateful eyes, whispering, “Thank you, Immortal Master, for saving me!”
Xue An glanced at the Sea Demoness and tossed her an Elixir, “Eat it.”
The Sea Demoness respectfully caught it and swallowed it down.
After a short while.
The injuries on the Sea Demoness began to heal rapidly.
In the blink of an eye.
The myriad wounds were restored to their original state.
At this moment, the Sea Demoness transformed with human legs, draped in light gauze, appearing like a forsaken Immortal, so beautiful it was hard to take one’s eyes off her.
The Sea Demoness bowed deeply to Xue An.
“Little demon Jiang Mei’er has seen the Immortal Master. I can never forget the great kindness and virtue of the Immortal Master!”
Xue An nodded slightly and said nothing.
He had indeed saved her, so her kneeling to express thanks was only to be expected.
And looking at the Sea Demoness’s attire…
She doesn’t seem like an ordinary Sea Demoness!
Most importantly, she has a surname!
The surnames of the Demon Race are extremely precious; ordinary demons simply could not have them.
At this time, Xue Xiang and Xue Nian approached.
“Sister, where is your tail?” Xue Xiang asked with curiosity.
The Sea Demoness smiled brightly, “I have retracted my tail!”
“Wow, that’s amazing! You can retract it?” Xue Nian said in surprise.
“Yes! Here, let me give you both something,” said the Sea Demoness as she solemnly pulled out three pearls emitting a red halo.
Unlike the Dong Zhu formed from tears, these pearls were transformed from the Sea Demoness’s own blood essence, extraordinarily precious.
But the two young girls didn’t understand this and just thought they were so pretty!
“Dad, aren’t they beautiful?” the young girls brought the pearls back and asked excitedly.
“Yes, they’re beautiful!” Seeing the three Blood Pearls, Xue An’s heart also stirred.
A Sea Demoness could only condense three to five Blood Pearls in her lifetime.
Now, this Sea Demoness had given away three at once.
Such a generous gesture!
