Chapter 47 The Poor Mermaid

There was a shrewd glint in the mermaid's eyes.

Even if Qin Xiaonan didn't ask, she was already prepared to confess voluntarily - from the moment she was imprisoned by the power of the Tsar, she knew her situation clearly.

The fact that he could set up a diversionary tactic to lure Qingning and Shayinxie away, and use spatial scales to launch a surprise attack, was enough to prove that his wisdom far exceeded that of ordinary demons.

At this moment, she had lost all her strength and knew that the only way to save her life was to show her value.

The mermaid's heart was filled with regret. She could have easily escaped the pursuit of the two land demons. The deep sea was her home turf, and Qingning and Shayinxie could not catch up with her at all. But she was smart enough to make a surprise attack, and ended up in this situation.

"Cunning human," she cursed in her heart.

Qin Xiaonan's golden eyes flashed slightly, and he gave the Sand Hidden Scorpion a look.

The Sand Scorpion understood immediately, and its tail stinger stabbed the mermaid's shoulder like lightning. With her power sealed, she couldn't dodge and could only watch helplessly as the poison-filled stinger sank into her skin.

"what!"

With a cry of pain, the mermaid's snow-white right arm instantly glowed an eerie blue, the poison spreading at a visible rate. Her amethyst eyes suddenly misted over, and she suddenly burst into tears, whether to detoxify or to vent her emotions.

Crystal clear tears rolled down like pearls from a broken string. She gently lifted her left hand, catching a few tears and pressing them against the wound. Instantly, the dark blue poison receded like a tide, and her skin returned to normal, leaving only a puncture wound.

"It's really magical." Qin Xiaonan was overjoyed when he saw this. The mermaid's tears really had such a miraculous effect. He felt like he had found a treasure.

Even after the poison was removed, the mermaid continued to sob softly, tears streaming down her delicate cheeks. She lowered her head slightly, her long blue hair half covering her face, but it couldn't hide her beautiful face, which was as beautiful as a pear blossom in the rain.

Her shoulders swayed slightly, and her tail unconsciously slapped the rocks, making a subtle "pa pa" sound. Her amethyst eyes were misted, revealing a hint of grievance and regret.

Her pearly teeth bit her lower lip lightly, leaving a row of shallow teeth marks on her lip, adding a bit of pitiful fragility.

Qin Xiaonan would not be soft-hearted just because of her pitiful appearance. You should know that after she appeared, the first water vortex she cast was merciless.

If I really didn't have enough strength, I would have been submerged by the waves by now.

The other person is a mermaid, but she is completely different from the kind, innocent, and love-sacrificing image that she knew from fairy tales when she was a child.

She is a real sea monster, and she is very powerful. She can create huge waves with just a wave of her hand. Many humans have died at her hands.

"Take her with you." Qin Xiaonan turned around indifferently, ignoring the mermaid's tearful expression.

Qingning curled out a fox tail and wrapped it around the mermaid's slender waist.

The mermaid twisted her body in panic, scratching her nails at her fluffy fox fur, but couldn't break even a single hair.

"Don't move~" Qingning suddenly leaned close to her ear, and his warm breath brushed across her sensitive gills.

The sharp canine teeth flashed a cold light in the mermaid's sight. "If I accidentally break your waist..." The fox tail deliberately tightened a little, and the scales made a "crackling" sound under the heavy load. "Master, you won't blame me, right?"

The mermaid looked at Qingning angrily, but didn't say much.

She looked at the sea that was getting farther and farther away below her feet, and a trace of despair flashed in her purple eyes - this was the first time in a hundred years that she was completely away from the ocean.

After returning home, Qin Xiaonan took a quick hot shower and headed straight for the bedroom. Before closing the door, he glanced at the mermaid lying in the middle of the living room and said to Qingning calmly, "Keep an eye on her."

"Yes, sir~" Qing Ning said, with a cunning glint in his eyes.

She had been tricked by the mermaid during their previous underwater pursuit, and now she wanted to tease him. Qingning carefully examined the beautiful face. "Tsk tsk, why aren't you so arrogant now?" She deliberately imitated the mermaid's arrogant tone in the sea. "'Land demons are nothing but this'? Huh?"

The mermaid turned her face away. Having lost her power, she couldn't even condense the most basic water mist, and she didn't want to pay any attention to the fox.

Seeing that the other party ignored her, Qingning walked forward and pinched a scale on her lower body with her two claws.

Said: "How beautiful."

Pretend to pull.

The mermaid shuddered all over, a trace of fear flashed in her purple eyes, but she quickly pretended to be calm: "Kill me if you want to," but her voice was much hoarser than before.

Qing Ning suddenly leaned in close, his nose almost touching the other's face. "You are very resourceful. Knowing that you can't escape, you hurriedly told the master about the miraculous detoxification effect of your tears, hoping that the master would spare your life."

"Of course I won't kill you, otherwise the master will definitely blame me, but it shouldn't be a problem for me to peel off a few of your scales."

The mermaid was shaking with anger, her pride fighting against her survival instinct.

Qingning, on the other hand, was leisurely wagging its tail, enjoying the hard-earned "home advantage".

The mermaid's amethyst eyes flickered violently for a few times, and were finally covered with a layer of humiliating mist.

"Sister Qingning," the call was almost squeezed out from between teeth.

Her slender fingers dug deeply into her palms. This was the first time in three hundred years that she bowed to a land creature.

She forced herself to raise her face, revealing a pitiful expression. Her wet long hair stuck to her snow-white skin, adding to her sense of vulnerability.

"I was ignorant before." The last line of his voice trembled just the right amount, and he tapped the ground nervously. "You are so magnanimous."

"Yo~" Qing Ning lifted the mermaid's chin with the tip of her tail, "Our noble sea monster will also beg for mercy?"

The mermaid resisted the urge to swat the tail away, a hint of forbearance flashing in her purple eyes. "You've taught me a lesson..." She deliberately made her voice choke a little. "I can help you comb your hair as an apology."
-
the next day.

The morning light poured into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Qin Xiaonan pushed open the bedroom door, and the scene in the living room made him pause.

The mermaid was lying on the wool carpet, holding a colorful shell in her slender fingers and carefully combing Qingning's tail.

The fox demon curled up comfortably on the sofa, its nine fluffy golden tails covering the entire coffee table, and it hummed contentedly from time to time.

"Push harder on the left side~" Qingning squinted his eyes and instructed, "Yes, right there"

The mermaid adjusted her gestures obediently upon hearing this.

She looked up and saw Qin Xiaonan coming out. A trace of panic flashed across her purple eyes, but she quickly returned to her docile look and even bowed her head in greeting.

Qingning was enjoying the mermaid's service comfortably when she suddenly noticed the bedroom door open and Qin Xiaonan's figure appeared in the morning light.

She shuddered all over and jumped up from the sofa.

"My Lord!" She stood up in a hurry, with her fox ears pressed tightly against the back of her head.
