Chapter 236: Mermaid's Heart
Chapter 236: Mermaid's Heart
Looking at the shining mermaid heart in Luo Huazhou's hand and listening to Luo Huazhou's earnest tone, Yin Chen was silent for a moment, "Are you telling the truth?"
Luo Huazhou vowed: "With my identity and my friendship with E Ling, there is no need for me to lie to you!"
"That's great! It seems my sister is saved!" Xiaoguai said excitedly, and all his hostility towards Luo Huazhou disappeared.
Yin Chen and Mo Lin looked at each other. They both knew that this was the best result for both E Ling and them. It could maximize the probability of E Ling surviving without sacrificing any of them.
Yin Chen nodded, "Okay, we'll take you back to the north."
“Hey, hey—” The Nine-Headed Witch got anxious when she heard this, and rushed over to block Yin Chen’s way. “I found so many materials and refined a heart that only E Ling can use, and you just say you don’t want it? You should at least compensate me for some of the losses, right?!”
Yin Chen frowned, "We have already given you a lot of beast crystals."
The nine-headed witch put her hands on her waist and said, "Let's be fair! This is just the price you pay for asking me for information!"
Yin Chen's face instantly fell, and a heavy pressure emanated from him.
Luo Huazhou waved his hand impatiently, and the guards who came with him came up and pulled the nine-headed witch away, one on each side.
Among them were several of Luo Huazhou's trusted aides, who went straight over and overturned the big stone pot, destroying it along with the heart that had been refined inside.
Luo Huazhou was a little unhappy: "If you keep making noise, I will have to ask you to sit in the newly built sea prison!"
The nine-headed witch turned pale and struggled for a while, but failed to break free from the shackles of the two high-level males beside her.
She was somewhat unwilling, but at this moment she dared not speak out.
After all, Luo Huazhou is powerful, and she is not stupid enough to pull the whiskers out of a fish's mouth!
Luo Huazhou followed Yin Chen and his group out of the sea and went ashore. Yin Chen summoned several flying beasts, which carried them to the northern Beast City.
Although Luo Huazhou can transform into a human form, as a marine animal, his body can't stand the long period of dehydration. However, he is more eager to see E Ling and confirm her safety, so he endures all the physical discomfort and silently follows Yin Chen and the others' route.
After two or three days of flying, they returned to the Northern Beast City.
Helmai and his companions were waiting in the royal city for Yin Chen to come back with great anticipation, but when he saw that they returned empty-handed and brought back Luohuazhou with them, Helmai's brows furrowed deeply.
灵儿还没醒来,就又带回来一个情敌……啧,想揍人!
Sensing the dangerous aura emanating from Helmer and the tentacles behind him ready to move, Yin Chen quickly explained: "We met him in the sea, he came to rescue E Ling."
"My female doesn't need to be rescued by an insignificant male!"
Helmei had a sullen face. Anyway, he didn't believe that Luo Huazhou had such magical powers that he could bring Ling'er back to life.
In Helma's eyes, Luo Huazhou is nothing but an unreliable mermaid who was raised like a star and only knew how to wait to inherit the throne. He has no actual strength and is just an air of grandeur. Don't blame him for looking down on Luo Huazhou!
As he spoke, Helmer snorted again and said mercilessly: "I didn't expect that you didn't die under the claws of the sea monster. It seems that the monster's strength is just so-so. It even gave you the opportunity to find Ling'er again!"
Since Luo Huazhou has a way to save E Ling, Yin Chen defended her for once, "No matter how you look at it, he did save E Ling. Why don't we listen to his method?"
Helmer was not buying it: "It is natural for males to save females. It is normal for a female as outstanding as Ling'er to have one or two males sacrifice themselves for her. What kind of male is it to repay a favor?!"
Yin Chen: “…”
Although it seems that what Helmer said makes sense.
But the situation was urgent at the time, and he was only thinking about waking E Ling up quickly. After all, the less time her condition could be delayed, the better, so he didn't think too much about it.
Luo Huazhou was not afraid of Helmei. After all, nothing could stop him from saving E Ling. In fact, he was the only one who could save her now.
He pulled out the scale necklace from his neck, patted his chest and assured Hermay, "I can save E Ling and give her a complete heart. I won't use the favor of saving her twice to blackmail her into becoming my partner. I, Luo Huazhou, will never do such a thing.
I saved her purely because I didn't want to see her suffer anymore, I just wanted her to be well...Hermei, if you don't believe me, if any of my actions didn't help her at all, my life is at your disposal!"
"rhetoric!"
Helmer snorted coldly, but saw that the scale necklace he took out was not an ordinary item, so he remembered some legends circulating among the mermaids.
Legend has it that some mermaids have two hearts, one that grows solidly inside their bodies, and the other that becomes a scale on their heart at birth and does not mature until they reach adulthood. It is called the "mermaid's heart."
This mermaid's heart is equivalent to the mermaid's other spare heart, which can revive the mermaid once. At the same time, if the mermaid is strong enough, his other heart can also save other people besides him.
Luo Huazhou is so confident, could it be that he has used his mermaid heart?
Moreover, he has an extraordinary status in the mermaid tribe and his rank is reasonable. Perhaps his mermaid heart can really save Ling'er.
Even if Luo Huazhou wanted to ask for Ling'er's partner twice in the future, Helmei would not be afraid. His level was far higher than Luo Huazhou's. If he was unhappy, he would just kill this troublesome mermaid!
Thinking of this, Helmer stopped stopping him.
Luo Huazhou successfully entered the royal city and, under the guidance of Yin Chen and others, came to E Ling's room.
Seeing the soundless female lying on the bed, Luo Huazhou stopped in his tracks, and an unspeakable sadness surged in his heart.
He couldn't believe his eyes. She looked so lively when they were about to part. Her every smile and frown was still clearly engraved in his mind. Why did she become like this after not seeing her for a while?! Her body was as stiff as a dead person, and the horrifying gap in her chest seemed to be a direct sentence of life and death for her!
If it were an ordinary female, let alone having a chance of survival, I'm afraid her body would have been rotten by now!
Luo Huazhou's hands gradually clenched, "Why did this happen? Who did it... Who wanted to kill such a precious female?!"
Changze said at the side: "The people who hurt her have been punished. The most urgent thing is to save her! It has been a while since Ling's heart was taken away, but her body has not decayed during this period, and her wounds are as fresh as if they were just inflicted. This is very unusual! I am afraid that the Beast God has an eye and thinks that Ling's life should not end. Ling must have a chance to survive!"
Xuan Ming also nodded and said, "I went back to the Earth Demon Tribe these few days and found the Book of Life and Death of the Orcs, but I found that Ling's name was not on it. It can be seen that Ling is not dead, but has fallen into a state of suspended animation because of the loss of her heart. As long as her heart can be restored, Ling will definitely recover!"
