The Mermaid Princess pursed her lips, her eyes scanning her surroundings. She could sense that everything around her had been isolated.
The Mermaid Clan behind him and his most beloved mother were still in a deep sleep.
The Mermaid Princess walked worriedly to her mother's side, watching as her mother's blood continued to flow and slowly soaked the ground.
"I beg you, sir! Save my mother!"
The Mermaid Princess turned and knelt before Huo Yuhao, her eyes pleading, her head slamming heavily against the ground with a dull thud.
Huo Yuhao's eyes were cold and sharp, but he didn't make a move, clearly indicating that this wasn't part of their deal.
The Mermaid Princess hurriedly explained, "This is my small personal request; please grant it to me and save my mother."
"I will fully cooperate; I will do whatever you ask."
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Mermaid Princess's clothes slipped off her shoulder, revealing a glimpse of her skin.
Electrolux chuckled at her pitiful appearance. "Oh dear, the old man can't stand seeing this. Big Bug, let's go check out the neighborhood."
"What's wrong? Doesn't the boss need my help?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked at the Mermaid Princess's exposed human skin, somewhat puzzled.
Electrolux tapped his head lightly with two fingers and said, "What does a little bug know? Let's go."
"Oh."
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was dragged away by Electrolux with a puzzled look on her face.
Huo Yuhao stepped closer to the Mermaid Princess, his fingertips gently touching her cheek, his thumb and forefinger slightly clenched together.
Her soft flesh was slightly deformed from being pinched, and she instinctively looked away.
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but chuckle. The Slime beneath his feet began to wriggle, and a jade-green longsword slowly emerged.
With his other hand gripping the sword hilt, he channeled his Soul Power into it, and a boundless life force rippled out from it.
A rich sense of life energy washes over you.
"Hmm~"
The Mermaid Princess unconsciously let out a soft, coquettish sound.
A faint blush rose to her soft cheeks, and her ears were also subtly tinged with a light pink.
"Grown ups..."
Huo Yuhao asked calmly, "What's your name again?"
Liya looked up, meeting his deep eyes, and timidly said, "Li... Liya."
Huo Yuhao released her cheek, and the soft flesh slowly bounced back to its original shape, leaving a light pink mark.
"Take it, it can save your mother. I just demonstrated it to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao placed the longsword in Liya's arms, and the Slime used to wrap the blade slowly flowed down and returned to Huo Yuhao's body.
Liya looked at the green longsword in her hand with a sense of flattery and surprise, astonished by its rich life energy.
Huo Yuhao then went to inspect Liya's clansmen.
Liya was also worried that Huo Yuhao might do something to his own people.
After all, if he wanted to do something to his own people, he was powerless to stop him.
Perhaps she has already become this man's Soul Ring.
Liya's nostrils twitched slightly as she sniffed softly, then she picked up the green longsword.
The life force emanating from the Gold of Life made her feel as if she were seeing her mother being healed.
Liya approached her mother and gently placed the longsword on her mother's body.
His Soul Power flowed within his body, flowing into the longsword.
The Gold of Life was drawn by the Soul Power, and its rich life force began to spread outwards.
Life force began to continuously repair the Mermaid Queen's body through the wounds.
The previously broken wound was now visibly sprouting small buds of flesh, which were constantly merging and intertwining.
The enormous wound closed up in the next moment, leaving not a single scar on the skin.
The Mermaid Queen's brows, which had been furrowed unconsciously due to physical pain, relaxed.
Liya's heart leaped with joy, and tears welled up in her beautiful blue eyes. "It worked! Mother, you'll be alright, Liya will make you better."
Huo Yuhao had also finished checking on Liya's people. They hadn't been harmed; they were just mentally injured from being imprisoned for so long, and they would recover with some rest.
He casually set up a simple teleportation magic circle under these Mermaid Clan.
This is to avoid being disturbed during the Soul Spirit experiment later, and also to allow these mermaids to be moved out as soon as they are finished.
Huo Yuhao stepped closer, only slightly extending his right hand.
The longsword on the Mermaid Queen's body flew up out of thin air.
With a whoosh, it returned to Huo Yuhao's hand.
"Alright, let's prepare for the Soul Spirit ritual." Huo Yuhao sheathed his longsword.
Liya nodded, her body still trembling slightly.
" The Soul Spirit does not represent extinction, but rather another form of life."
"I can assure you that once everything settles down, I will naturally give you a new lease on life."
Huo Yuhao spoke again, assuring him.
He understood Liya's concerns; after all, no one can calmly face death.
Even if someone promises her that this is not death, but that she can be resurrected.
"I'm not afraid of death, I just can't bear to leave." Mermaid Princess Liya looked at her mother with some reluctance.
"However, since I promised, I can't go back on my word, so please be gentle with me later."
The Mermaid Princess paused, her voice as soft as a breeze, almost inaudible.
"I... am afraid of pain..."
Huo Yuhao waved to her, signaling Liya to follow him.
The two arrived at a short distance away.
Huo Yuhao waved his hand, and the two cushions were placed opposite each other.
He casually sat down and extended his hand to Liya.
Liya sat facing Huo Yuhao, her eyes constantly scanning her surroundings, clearly still nervous.
"Relax, I'm about to begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao began to utter different syllables, as if it were an unknown language.
It carries an unspeakable pressure within its mystery.
With each syllable uttered by Huo Yuhao, Liya felt her body become a little lighter.
She even began to feel her soul floating away.
Liya felt that there was an unseen connection between her and Huo Yuhao.
"Are you ready? I'm about to begin," Huo Yuhao said.
At the same time, a magic circle opened up from under Huo Yuhao's body, enveloping the two of them.
"I... I'm ready." Liya nodded.
Huo Yuhao spoke again, and that language was spoken once more.
"Etc!..."
A voice came from behind Liya.
Huo Yuhao was forced to stop the Soul Spirit ritual. Fortunately, it was just the preparatory work, and he was setting up a protection mechanism in case of disturbance.
"What are you going to do to Liya?!"
The Mermaid Queen stood up at some point and appeared behind Liya.
"Mother! You're awake?!" Liya turned her head and was overjoyed.
Huo Yuhao wasn't angry; her waking up was within his expectations.
"Mother, we're just fulfilling a promise," Liya quickly explained.
Huo Yuhao's lips curled up; he didn't mind stirring things up.
"Actually, what I want is your daughter's life."
