Shock! How could the useless Second Miss be a spiritual god?

Since no one was competing with Huo Ling'er, she successfully used 80 million high-quality spirit stones to bid for the South China Sea mermaid.

After the auction, the person in charge respectfully escorted the young mermaid to the VIP room.

At this time, the boy's tail had turned into a pair of long and straight legs.

He stood quietly at the door, with a timid and uneasy look on his face, and called out cautiously and softly:

"Master...Master."

Huo Linger carefully observed the boy in front of her for a while, then slowly said, "In fact, I didn't buy you for any other reason, but because I felt sorry for you. If you were bought by other buyers, they would definitely kill you immediately and take what they need, so I decided to offer a price to save you."

After hearing what Huo Linger said, the boy's face instantly turned pale as paper, and he trembled with fear.

"You...what did you say?"

"I said, you don't need to call me master. Since I have bought you, you don't have to be afraid anymore. From now on you are free. Go away."

Huo Ling'er's tone seemed very calm, but it carried an unquestionable determination. After all, she decided to take the photo of the boy only out of sympathy.

At this moment, the boy's light blue eyes suddenly sparkled with crystal tears, and his voice began to tremble, "Master, please don't let me leave, okay? No matter what you need me to do, as long as you are willing to keep me.

Even if you want my blood, my tears, or my scales, I will grant your request."

Huo Ling'er was not moved by the small favors he mentioned, because her space had countless precious items, and she really looked down upon the little benefits he offered.

"If I'm not mistaken, the spiritual power in you is very weak."

“My enemies are very powerful and numerous, and I am on the brink of life and death and could die at any time.

Therefore, I will not keep any useless people around me.”

Mermaids are neither human nor beasts, and although they are full of treasures, their bodies are too weak, and I am afraid of trouble, so I can only reject him decisively.

Thinking of this, Huo Ling'er walked out of the room without hesitation and left the auction without looking back.

After coming outside, Huo Ling'er hid her figure and quietly returned to the inn. She clearly felt that the boy had been following her, but she didn't take it to heart.

The eyes of the mermaids are penetrating and can see through everything, even fog and illusions.

Therefore, she did not expect to get rid of this young man easily.

As long as you ignore him, after a long time, he will get tired of waiting and maybe leave on his own.

Huo Ling'er didn't think about it any more. After returning to the inn, she went straight into the space and started refining pills.

Although she was able to advance successfully because Senior Linghao passed on the last bit of his spiritual power to her.

But she knew that she was far from strong enough.

He Yiming is firmly ranked first in the alchemy world and is definitely not a vegetarian.

So she couldn't underestimate the enemy and had to work hard to improve her strength. While there was still time, she decided to practice hard in the space.

……

The sky outside suddenly became gloomy and terrifying, with dark clouds covering it, as if it was going to swallow up everything.

Not long after, heavy rain came like a waterfall, falling in an instant.

Pedestrians on the street were looking for places to shelter from the rain, but a young man was standing at the door of the inn, and he didn't move at all.

He stared stubbornly at a window on the second floor, his eyes firm and persistent, never leaving for a long time.

"Isn't this person a fool?"

"That's right. He has been standing outside for three days, and it has been raining all day."

Two shop assistants were talking while they were packing up things in the lobby.

"I just saw that his face turned pale and his lips turned a little purple. It seemed like he was about to collapse."

"Yes, should we go and tell the shopkeeper to kick him out?"

"Good, so he doesn't have to die in front of our store, which would be troublesome."

Just as the shop assistant was about to look for the owner, he suddenly heard a dull thud of something heavy falling to the ground outside.

They hurried to the door to check the situation.

Ye Chun and Chu Yueyao, who were sitting in the lobby drinking hot tea, looked over when they heard the sound and saw a thin figure lying straight on the ground at the door of the inn.

Ye Chun couldn't bear to see this, so he quickly jumped out the door.

Without waiting for the two guys to take action, he quickly carried the boy up.

"Sir, don't dirty your clothes. This person has been wandering outside for several days, and no one knows who he is."

"Sir, please hand him over to us. He looks so ragged, maybe he is a beggar from somewhere."

Ye Chun wiped his face and waved his hand, saying, "No, I'll do it myself. You guys go and do your work, don't worry about it."

Ye Chun and Chu Yueyao brought the boy back to the room. "Yueyao, why is he so cold? He doesn't look like he has a fever. What's wrong with him?"

Chu Yueyao reached out and touched the boy's forehead, frowning: "It's indeed a bit strange, his temperature is very low, but he doesn't look sick."

Carefully observing the boy's face, he noticed that his lips were slightly purple. "Could he be poisoned?"

Ye Chun shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like it. If it's poisoned, there should be other symptoms." He gently patted the boy's cheek, "Hey, wake up!"

However, the boy showed no response, as if he was in a deep coma.

Chu Yueyao thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you try to transfer some spiritual energy to him? Maybe it can help him recover some strength."

After Chu Yueyao finished speaking, she took out a pill and fed it into the boy's mouth.

"He didn't have any fever symptoms for a while. I think he just fainted because he was too weak."

"Help him transfer some spiritual energy, and then help him clean up and change his clothes. I'll ask the waiter to bring in a basin of hot water."

After Chu Yueyao finished speaking, she went to get a handkerchief for Ye Chun and turned to leave.

Ye Chun frowned and wiped the boy's face twice with a handkerchief.

Before Ye Chun could transfer spiritual power to him, the boy suddenly moved, and then his hair turned light blue in Ye Chun's surprised gaze.

His legs turned into fish tails at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his whole body exuded an ethereal and gentle aura.

"Monster...how could you be a monster?" Ye Chun took several steps back.

The next moment, the weak and unconscious boy slowly opened his blue eyes and looked confusedly at Ye Chun not far away.

"Were you the one who saved me before?"

Ye Chun looked at the fishtail and blue hair that suddenly appeared in front of him with a face full of astonishment, and he didn't even notice that the handkerchief in his hand fell to the ground.

He stared at the boy with wide eyes in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "You...what are you? How did your legs turn into fish tails, and your hair is blue? Are you a fish?"

The boy blinked his misty eyes and looked at him pitifully and helplessly.

Ye Chun took a deep breath, looking at his pitiful appearance, he said with pity:

"Never mind all that, I need to find you some clothes to change into later."

As Ye Chun spoke, he picked up the handkerchief on the ground and soaked it in cold water.

He gently wiped the boy's face, trying to avoid touching his fishtail. Although he was still full of doubts, he decided not to ask for the time being.

"Thank you for helping me!"

The boy's voice flowed through my heart like a stream, clear and gentle, with a unique temptation.

Ye Chun stared at the boy's face. The shocked expression on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a daze.

The moment the boy looked at him, he seemed to clearly hear the sound of drumming coming from his chest.

Plop...plop...plop...

Ye Chun felt his heart beating faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.

"You...you are so beautiful!"

Ye Chun answered the question irrelevantly, and said this sentence according to his heart.

After saying this, Ye Chun came back to his senses and a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.

The boy realized something and quickly looked at his body and hair.

His fair face instantly turned red and he shrank his tail in embarrassment.

Chu Yueyao just happened to bring in some water at this time, and when she saw the handsome boy on the bed, she was stunned at the door.

"Yes, I'm sorry! I scared you. I was too weak just now and couldn't maintain my human form."

Chu Yueyao came back to her senses, quickly put down the basin and walked over: "It's okay, how do you feel now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

The boy shook his head and said softly: "Thank you for saving me, I feel much better."

Hearing this, Ye Chun couldn't help but ask curiously: "Are you a mermaid?"

Chu Yueyao also echoed: "Yes, are you really a merman?"

Her eyes fell on the boy's beautiful tail and she guessed secretly.

The boy seemed a little nervous, with a hint of vigilance and defensiveness in his eyes.

"me…"

Chu Yueyao noticed it and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we are just curious about your identity."

After a moment of silence, the young man seemed to have made up his mind and slowly spoke:

"Well, my name is Qingge, thank you for saving me!"

Chu Yueyao smiled and thought the name was very nice.

Ye Chun on the side stared at Qingge stupidly, looking left and right, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, Ye Chun suddenly asked: "Why are you getting wet in the rain at the door? Don't you know where to hide?"

Also, why did you suddenly faint? Did something happen before?"

Chu Yueyao was also very confused. Mermaids live in the sea, so they shouldn’t be afraid of water. So what happened?

Qingge smiled sheepishly, scratched his head and said, "Actually, it's because we mermaids are naturally weak, so I fainted suddenly."

He lowered his head and explained shyly in a low voice: "Because I was naughty and ran to the shore to play, I was caught and taken to the auction."

"Then what?" Ye Chun asked curiously.

Qingge raised her head, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes: “Three days ago, an adult in black took a picture of me, and she lives in this inn.

I, I want to follow her and repay her, but she..."

Hearing this, Ye Chun and Chu Yueyao looked at each other, and they immediately guessed who the person in black was.

After all, Huo Ling'er has been wearing black clothes almost every day these days, so this mysterious person in black is most likely her.

Just as the two were about to ask something else, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the house.

"Yueyao, Ah Chun."

As the words fell, the door was slowly pushed open and Huo Ling'er, dressed in black, walked in.

When she saw the mermaid boy in the house, she was stunned and then frowned.

The mermaid boy, who was originally sitting on the bed, became excited instantly.

“Master! Master…”

When Qingge saw Huo Linger, her blue eyes lit up with joy.

"Was what I said that day not clear enough? Why are you still here?"

There was no emotion in Huo Ling'er's flat tone, as if the person in front of her was just a stranger.

"Hey, Junior Master, don't scare him. If you really don't want him, then I do."

Ye Chun spoke quickly, then turned back to look at Qingge with a smile, a cunning look in his eyes.

Qingge ignored Ye Chun. His eyes remained on Huo Ling'er, with a hint of pleading and uneasiness.

"Master, I will work hard to cultivate in the future. Can you keep me? Qingge is willing to do anything as long as I can stay by your side."

His voice was filled with caution, as if he was afraid that if he said something wrong he would lose this opportunity.

Seeing Qingge's pitiful appearance, Huo Ling'er swallowed back the words that she wanted to refuse. She sighed helplessly and thought about how to deal with this problem.

After a moment of silence, Huo Linger finally made a decision. She said calmly, "It's up to you."

After saying this, she turned and left, leaving Qingge standing there thinking about what Huo Ling'er had just said.

Chu Yueyao silently followed Huo Ling'er out of the room.

……

As agreed before, the two came to the designated location and finally met Tang Qi, whom they hadn't seen for several days.

Tang Qi told them a shocking news with a serious face: his father had been given a chronic poison!

He discovered it when he was investigating the woman, but he did not alert the enemy. Instead, he informed Huo Ling'er and Chu Yueyao about it as soon as possible.

……

Huo Linger looked at the pale, purple-lipped Tang family master lying on the bed, and a chill ran down her spine. She and Chu Yueyao carefully checked Tang family master's room and asked him about his daily eating habits.

After investigation, they found a pot of flowers next to the table that caught their attention.

Huo Linger frowned slightly, curled her lips coldly and said: "This pot of flowers may not be poisonous in itself, but if it is mixed with the incense your father burns every day, it will become a deadly chronic poison."

When Tang Qi found out who put the flowers here, she was so angry that she trembled all over and could hardly suppress her inner anger.

"It's that woman again!"

Tang Qi sent his confidants to quickly take the flower pots out and destroy them.

Huo Ling'er first took out the detoxification pill and fed it to the head of the Tang family, helping him to force all the remaining toxins out of his body.

After the head of the Tang family woke up, he learned the truth and immediately sent people to arrest the woman.

Imprisoned her in a dungeon, she was tortured day after day.

The head of the Tang family is very satisfied and proud of his son, because he is not only capable but also sensible.

At the same time, Tang Qi also met powerful alchemists like Ling Ye.

Seeing his son like this, he thought that he had grown up and that he should take over the position of head of the family as soon as possible.

Tang Qi quickly refused after hearing what his father said. He just wanted to practice well now, and didn't care about the family affairs...

The head of the Tang family had no choice but to follow his son's advice and decided to continue to help his son protect the family first and wait for his son to be ready before taking over as the head of the family.

The head of the Tang family was full of gratitude to Huo Ling'er and gave her many precious gifts.

But Huo Ling'er tactfully returned all the gifts to Tang Qi, leaving two for Chu Yueyao and Ye Chun.

In the next few days, Huo Ling'er stayed in the room making elixirs.

Whenever she goes out, there is always a "little tail" following her closely.

Ye Chunze chased after the young man Qingge every day.

Huo Ling'er finally got tired of it.

Directly ordered Ye Chun: "From now on, you will take Qingge to exercise every day, and then practice with him!"

In this way, Qingge will no longer bother me every day like before.
