"Sir, your medicine has arrived."
After entering the deep sea, Ji Siyuan went into a period of recuperation, as his injuries were more severe than Huo Yutong's. As for Du Busi, the beating he took was nothing serious.
The one who delivered the medicine was the mermaid princess, Liya's older sister. As her sister, she truly cared about Liya.
Therefore, she personally delivered medicine to Ji Siyuan.
She even wanted to take over Huo Yutong's job of helping Ji Siyuan relax.
Huo Yutong immediately refused. "I won't trouble the Mermaid Princess; I can manage on my own. When it comes to the Sea of Consciousness, Siyuan trusts me more."
The Little Mermaid's hand froze in mid-air. "I apologize for my previous reckless behavior."
Ji Siyuan: "No need. You'd better come up with a solution, otherwise you might not be able to accept my suggestion."
After resting for so many days, I certainly wasn't just messing around.
With the help of the Mermaid Clan's top-tier medicine, Ji Siyuan's body gradually returned to normal. The cracks in his Sea of Consciousness also completely disappeared.
Aside from his own physical problems, he also came up with a solution.
The saying goes, "Learn from the barbarians to subdue them." If the Evil Soul Master can trick Liya into going to sea, then they can trick the Evil Soul Master into leaving the city. As long as they lead them to one place, solving the problem will be much simpler.
The mermaid princess's eyes lit up. "You really have a way?"
"You should discuss other methods. Otherwise, finding a 100,000-year-old mermaid as bait to lure Evil Soul Master is a plan that no one would agree to." Ji Siyuan revealed the plan, leaving the mermaid princess frozen in place. This plan was indeed unlikely to be approved.
"Thank you for your plan. I will tell my mother to make a careful decision." The mermaid princess left, leaving only Ji Siyuan and Huo Yutong.
Huo Yutong gently pressed Ji Siyuan's temples. "Does it still hurt?"
"One more thing," Ji Siyuan said, finding a comfortable position to lie down. "These recent life-or-death training sessions, combined with medication, have significantly improved my body's resilience. The aftereffects of using sword energy are much less severe."
"That hurts too. Don't draw your sword so easily in the future." Huo Yutong felt extremely distressed.
Ji Siyuan: "I was just saying the aftereffects were lessening; I won't actually draw my sword recklessly. We can't exactly say that our training over the past six months has been ineffective, can we?"
Eighty training sessions can't be completed in eighty days. Traveling back and forth between the ocean and land takes time, not to mention the time they need to soak in medicinal baths in wooden tubs. Even resting in cities near the ocean takes a considerable amount of time. Especially the last thirty sessions, which take place within the territory of the Sun Moon Empire, require even more caution.
"Sigh, my Soul Power Level has increased so slowly in just over half a year. I'm only level 44 now." Huo Yutong felt her own improvement. "Siyuan, what about you?"
"I leveled up to level 46 yesterday. My progress is a bit faster than yours."
"Siyuan, you're so mean! I finally caught up with you, and now you've fallen behind again." Her tone even carried a hint of coquettishness.
Six Lotus Seed emerged, their Soul Power condensing to increase cultivation speed. The slower cultivation speed was unavoidable; that's how Ultimate Martial Soul are.
The increase in Soul Power is not their greatest benefit; their greatest benefit lies in the dual improvement of their physical and mental well-being.
Another day of peaceful recovery passed. The Sea Princess and Du Busi arrived together, with the Mermaid Princess following behind.
"We have carefully considered your proposal and find it very feasible," the Sea Princess acknowledged the reliability of the trapping method.
Their fighting strength weakened after the mermaids came ashore, but they still Du Busi. There weren't many on the mainland who could defeat Du Busi, and even fewer would appear here. The Evil Soul Master who imprisoned Liya was clearly not among them; as long as they could lure him out, it would be a victory.
The Little Mermaid: "We still have some disagreements about this, specifically about who should be the bait, me or my mother." Her voice grew louder. "I think it has to be me who's the bait. My mother has to lead the Mermaid Clan; nothing can happen to her. But she disagrees and insists on being the bait herself."
"Please, both of you, try to persuade her."
The Sea Princess also had her own reasons. "This matter is not dangerous; we must trust our allies. Even if something goes wrong, my cultivation level far surpasses yours, and I can help our allies deal with external enemies."
She also hoped that Ji Siyuan could persuade her daughter.
They all hoped to act as bait to take on the most dangerous tasks.
Ji Siyuan scratched his head. He hadn't thought that much about it; deciding who to choose as bait was still a headache.
"Why don't you put yourselves in the enemy's shoes and think about who would be the most suitable bait?"
After a moment of silent contemplation, the mermaid princess said, "I think I'm in a better position. My mother is too powerful. Even on land, the enemy wouldn't think they could easily capture her. My cultivation is only slightly higher Liya's, so they definitely think I can capture her."
With sound reasoning and a different perspective, the Little Mermaid accepted this dangerous mission.
As for how to rationalize the matter and convince the Evil Soul Master that the mermaid princess's coming ashore was the right thing to do, that was left to the Mermaid Clan to handle themselves. After all, they had more dealings with the Evil Soul Master who captured Liya.
The Du Busi method involves selecting an ambush location.
Where is our enemy?
" Eastern Sun City of the Sun Moon Empire." After her daughter's accident, Sea Princess also investigated the surrounding area.
The ambush point cannot be too far, nor too close. Mermaids' combat strength is greatly reduced once they come ashore; if they are too far away, the mermaid princess may not be able to hold out; if they are too close, the enemy will be able to sense it.
"Our ambush doesn't necessarily involve setting traps at a fixed point. Why are you, a level 98 Super Douluo, worried about these things?"
Ji Siyuan was saying that Du Busi, but the Sea Princess replied, "Because a pool needs to be built so I can stay in it, we can only fix one ambush point."
"Huh? You're still going?"
Ji Siyuan hadn't expected the Sea Princess to insist on going; he had originally thought Sea Princess would stay in the ocean and wait for news.
"As a mother, how can I watch my daughter take risks while I bear no risks at all?"
Ji Siyuan simply nodded in agreement with the Sea Princess's choice without saying anything more. It would also allow the Sea Princess to protect him and Huo Yutong.
After all, Huo Yutong had to deal with Liya, who might be turned into Wraith, and Ji Siyuan couldn't leave her alone on the battlefield.
After arranging the ambush location, all that remained was to reach an agreement with the Evil Soul Master of Eastern Sun City.
Whatever the reason, the Evil Soul Master needs to be convinced that the mermaid princess will come ashore.
Time passed slowly, and the Mermaid Clan quickly completed this part of the task.
"Mother, everyone, I have spread the word that I will secretly go ashore and try to save my sister."
With the time and location confirmed, even though the Du Busi, a small pool of water was created, allowing the Sea Princess to hide within it.
Everything is ready; we're just waiting for the plan to begin.
Eastern Sun City, the Evil Soul Master, Myriad Souls Douluo, waved the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in his hand. "Tsk tsk tsk, what deep sisterly affection! My Ten Thousand Souls Banner is about to have two 100,000-year main souls."
