" Yuhao, what should we do now? It's a 100,000-year-old spirit-type Soul Beast; it even made us hallucinate just now," Xiao Xiao said worriedly.
Huo Yuhao's eyes shone brightly as he stated definitively, "If it wanted to attack us, it would have done so already. It must want something from us."
Xiao Xiao was still uneasy. The Soul Ring behind her emitted a faint light, and she made sure that she could take out the Soul Tool in her Soul Guidance Ring at any time.
It should be noted that she had various Soul Tool prepared in her Soul Tool Ring.
She possessed at least several Soul Tool that could resist Spiritual Power, but the situation just now was so sudden that she almost fainted herself.
Otherwise, with those few spiritual Soul Tool, if they were fast enough, the mermaid wouldn't be able to stop them.
The Mermaid Princess withdrew her Spiritual Power, her fishtail curving slightly, and said respectfully, "Your Excellency, I apologize for any offense. My actions just now were merely to speak with you privately."
"However, the situation is somewhat unusual; the lady beside you seems to have a close relationship with you..."
The Mermaid Princess must have specifically studied human etiquette, as her movements appear particularly standard, yet she seems to have been out of contact with humans for too long, her greetings resembling those of the last century.
Xiao Xiao stared at her warily and asked, "What do you want with Yuhao? What is your purpose?!"
A glint of crimson flashed in the Mermaid Princess's eyes, followed by a faint smile and a hint of sadness. She said, "I have no ulterior motive... I just want to seek help..."
Xiao Xiao was a little puzzled; this Mermaid Princess was at least 100,000 years old, was actually seeking their help.
Keep in mind that their cultivation levels were generally still at the Soul Emperor. Even Ling Luochеn and Xi Xi Sister Xixi, who had the highest cultivation levels, were rendered unconscious by his Spiritual Power.
If even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast couldn't solve it, how could they possibly do it?
"Help? I can't offer you any help," Huo Yuhao said.
Clearly, this mermaid came from the deep sea. After the battle, he had used his Spiritual Power to scan his surroundings, wondering how she had found him.
"We really can't be of much help," Xiao Xiao echoed.
"No... I have witnessed your abilities; you can save my people... This is my only chance." A resolute glint flashed in the Mermaid Princess's eyes.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Xiao felt the Mermaid Princess emanating Spiritual Power, and a terrifying pressure enveloped them.
Xiao Xiao was startled; something seemed off about the Mermaid Princess's mental state!
A sense of danger instantly gripped Xiao Xiao's heart. A voice inside her told her that if she didn't agree, she might... die!
"Tell us what you think; maybe we can help you."
Huo Yuhao sighed helplessly and shielded Xiao Xiao behind him.
Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's agreement, the Mermaid Princess withdrew her Spiritual Power from her body.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I was just a little anxious," the Mermaid Princess said, bowing to Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao looked at the Mermaid Princess, truly unable to understand what was going on with her.
One moment he's humble and polite, the next he's uncontrollably Spiritual Power.
In her eyes, the Mermaid Princess was like a madwoman.
Xiao Xiao leaned close to Huo Yuhao's ear and whispered, " Yuhao, I have a feeling something's off. We should be careful."
Huo Yuhao nodded and lowered his voice, "I understand, but let's at least figure out what she's up to first."
Xiao Xiao nodded. They were like headless flies, stumbling around aimlessly without any clues.
It was as if an invisible hand was controlling their actions.
"My lord, thank you for your help. If you can rescue my mother, I am willing to sacrifice myself for you."
The Mermaid Princess bowed again, her eyes full of sincerity.
Huo Yuhao squinted as he looked at the Mermaid Princess.
The Mermaid Princess looked up and met Huo Yuhao's gaze.
The purple glint in his pupils, in the next moment, caused his jet-black pupils to slowly change color.
Eyes like flower petals appeared, and the Mermaid Princess's eyes instantly became identical to Huo Yuhao's.
That pink, four-petaled pupil also appeared in the Mermaid Princess's eyes.
With a shift in her gaze, the Mermaid Princess found herself in a world entirely white.
Tell me your true purpose, and I will consider your request.
Huo Yuhao's voice echoed in the pure white space, filled with mystery and power.
The Mermaid Princess was startled and subconsciously used her Spiritual Power to probe her surroundings.
"Ah!"
The Mermaid Princess suddenly let out a shrill scream.
The moment her Spiritual Power reached out, it was severed by an invisible spiritual blade.
She was given no time to retract her Spiritual Power Spiritual Power; the loss of some of it immediately caused a backlash.
The Mermaid Princess's chest heaved rapidly, and a trickle of blue blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. She dared not test the waters any further.
"My lord, please forgive my impudence. I meant no offense and hope to receive your forgiveness. These are Mermaid Tear Pearls from my clan, which can enhance Spiritual Power. Please accept them."
The Mermaid Princess immediately conjured several beads on her chest, carefully cupped them in her hands, lowered her head, and held them above her head, speaking cautiously.
A dark shadow gathered in front of him, Huo Yuhao, dressed in a black robe, slowly walked up to the Mermaid Princess.
The Mermaid Princess slightly raised her head to look at the long, black robe in front of her, her body trembling slightly from the terrifying pressure.
Huo Yuhao glanced at it first, then picked up the bead and squeezed it.
The pure Spiritual Power inside was indeed empty, so he put it away.
"I will forgive your rudeness this time, but if you do it again, you will be reduced to ashes!"
The sound, like a thunderclap, struck the Mermaid Princess. She bent over in fear and nodded repeatedly.
Huo Yuhao waved his hand, and his Spiritual Power condensed into a chair behind him, which he then sat down on.
He leaned to the side, supporting his head with one hand and lightly tapping the armrest with his right fingers, and spoke again, "Tell me everything you know."
The Mermaid Princess dared not conceal anything and said, "Just last month, our Mermaid Clan was still in the deep sea, and we did not wish to disturb humans."
"But that day, the sea suddenly began to boil, and even in the deep sea, the temperature kept rising. Some of the weaker Sea Soul Beast even died directly."
"Until I surfaced with my mother... I... saw..."
The Mermaid Princess's expression kept changing, and even her mind began to become confused. Even the spiritual body that Huo Yuhao had pulled into the illusion began to flicker and distort strangely, like a mosaic about to be erased.
Huo Yuhao immediately unleashed a surge of Spiritual Power to envelop her and stabilize her condition, then pressed on, asking, "What did you see?"
"I... I saw it... ah... I saw it... God!"
The next moment, a dazzling red flame appeared strangely on the Mermaid Princess's spiritual body.
Almost instantly, flames enveloped his spiritual body, threatening to burn it to ashes!
