Chapter 109 Your Past

Yun Fuzhao and his companions moved quickly. With the help of the Bloodthirsty Vine, they found the injured merman in no time.

"Right here?"

Qi Huai looked at the bottomless pool in front of him. The water was so dark and deep that nothing could be seen with the naked eye.

The roots of the Bloodthirsty Lotus pointed straight up at the pool, as if the thing was right there underground.

“The underwater world is the mermaids’ natural hunting ground, and we have little chance of winning if we go down there,” Yun Fuzhao said. “The only way to catch it is to pull it out from underwater.”

"It can create beautiful dreams, but we don't know what conditions are needed for it to make people fall into those dreams. It's dangerous to rush down and pull it out."

Yun Fuzhao nodded, "I know, so what I mean is to let her get out of the water on her own."

Now it's time for her water elemental root to come in handy. Yun Fuzhao flipped her hand, and the ancient pool, which was like ink, gradually rippled, layer upon layer, and soon stirred up a huge wave.

"Step back, I'm about to show off."

Qi Huai and Yu Ze: "..."

The water in the pool was churning, and soon a blue figure was swept up by the waves.

The merman lay prostrate on the ground, his face pale, blood still flowing steadily from his shoulder.

It roared and launched an attack on Yun Fuzhao. She summoned Jiaoyu, and the ferocious attack instantly vanished in front of the latter.

The merman shrank back, "I can let you out."

Yun Fuzhao stared at its face, which was clearly a very beautiful face, but there was a deep scar on its cheek that revealed the bone.

Yun Fuzhao was very concerned about her experience in the dream, and she always felt that everything that happened there was related to the mermaid.

“We don’t just want to get out,” Yun Fuzhao approached and half-squatted in front of her, “I want something else.”

"what?"

"you."

The merman's face turned cold. "Wishful thinking. Not a single one of you humans is any good!"

Seeing that she was about to explode again, Yun Fuzhao immediately shouted, "Do you want to hide here forever?!"

These words made the merman pause. "What do you mean?"

"Is everything in the dream your past?"

"..."

Yun Fuzhao observed her expression. "That prince fell into the sea, and you saved him. Later, he brought you back to the palace and said he wanted to marry you. In reality, he's a pervert with an extreme pursuit of beauty."

The merman sneered, "He did it on purpose. He didn't fall into the sea at all; he can swim. He was after me from the start."

Yun Fuzhao hadn't expected this reason, "...Wait, isn't the Prince of Anyang disabled?"

“King Anyang is not disabled; it is that holy son who is disabled.” The merman revealed a wary expression. “He has altered the dream I created for you.”

Does this mean that the Holy Son entered her dream and justified his existence?

"What about the 'Prince Anyang' in the dream, or rather, in reality?"

The merman laughed maniacally, "Of course I killed him. He liked turning people into puppets, so I did as he pleased. His body is at the bottom of this pool. Would you like to take a look?"

Her laughter was chilling. Yun Fuzhao glanced at Yu Ze; the two of them were practically identical—crazy, yandere types.

“I’ll have to decline,” Yun Fuzhao continued his persuasion, “If you’re willing to be our sect’s guardian beast, I can meet any condition you set.”

Before the merman could speak, his expression suddenly changed.

Yun Fuzhao naturally noticed that someone was approaching, and Yu Ze and Qi Huai immediately went to her side.

The two people Hai had met not long ago reappeared.

The man in the wheelchair exchanged a glance with Yun Fuzhao before looking away.

Yu Ze asked coldly, "What do you want to do back here?"

Gong Yuhe did not answer, but said to the merman, "You killed the disciples of the Hall of Rebirth, I am going to take you back."

"Ha, it's obvious he couldn't resist the temptation and indulged in a life of luxury." The merman scoffed, "What kind of immortal is someone with such an unsteady mind?"

Gong Yuhe's expression remained unchanged as he calmly said, "That's not up to you."

He raised his hand, and a golden chain shot straight at her.

[Wow, a tenth-grade Immortal Binding Chain! The disciples of the Rebirth Hall are truly powerful.]

[Don't you even know who he is? He's the Holy Son of the Hall of Rebirth, his entire body is a treasure.]

Yun Fuzhao naturally couldn't let him succeed, so he immediately manipulated Wuji to block the golden chain.

Upon seeing this, Yu Ze immediately grabbed the chain to help Wuji control it.

Yun Fuzhao looked at Gong Yuhe, "Nan Jing... cough, no, Holy Son, we found this merman first. No matter what she did before, we must take her away."

Gong Yuhe glanced at her calmly, his light eyes like a still, unmoving pond. He uttered only two words: "No."

“Then there’s nothing we can do,” Yun Fuzhao said to Yu Ze and Qi Huai. “Are the three of us afraid of not being able to defeat a Holy Son?”

Qi Huai chuckled, "You underestimate me too much. Do we even need the three of us to beat him? I alone am enough."

He directly revealed his eight tails.

Kong Hao's expression changed slightly. He lowered his voice, "Holy Son, this fox is the young master of Qingqiu. That black-robed one is the Demon Lord of the Demon Clan. We are not entirely confident in our ability to defeat him."

Gong Yuhe naturally knew this as well, and he glanced at the spirit beast circling behind Yun Fuzhao. Even he had never seen this kind before, but he could sense from its aura that it was no ordinary spirit beast.

If a fight really breaks out, they will definitely not gain the upper hand.

Gong Yuhe decided to try a different approach: "If you want her to be your sect's guardian beast, the Rebirth Hall can provide you with a spirit beast of the same rank."

This offer is indeed quite attractive. Since she's looking for someone of rank seven or higher, she won't lose out no matter which rank ten she's looking for.

Moreover, the other party is the Hall of Rebirth; offending them is not on the same level as offending the Xuantian Sect.

The merman's sharp fingernails pierced her palm as she mentally considered possible escape routes.

Yun Fuzhao: "May I ask what you will do with this merman if you take him back?"

Kong Hao: "What else can we do? Blood for blood."

Upon hearing this, the merman was already prepared for a desperate fight. She could not possibly go to the Hall of Rebirth; it was a place that devoured people without spitting out their bones.

"That won't do."

She heard the woman reply with a smile.

A flash of shock crossed the merman's eyes.

Gong Yuhe hadn't expected her to refuse. Fragments of their time together in the dream flashed through her mind. She was a smart girl; she shouldn't have made such a choice.

Yun Fuzhao explained, "Such a promising talent cannot be allowed to be lost. In any case, I'm determined to have this mermaid today."

"Yun Fuzhao," Gong Yuhe said, "do you intend to oppose the Hall of Rebirth?"

"Wow, is that a threat?" Yun Fuzhao patted Jiaoyu's head. "Don't say that, the Holy Son reminded me. If I let you go like this, you'll definitely go to the Hall of Rebirth to tattle."

She sighed, "It seems I'll have to take you with me."
