"Aran..."

He Jiaojiao was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly. She was not sure whether Mo Ran was still conscious.

His blood-red pupils stared at He Jiaojiao motionlessly, as if trying to identify her identity. But the next second, the violent tearing sensation in his body came again, causing Mo Ran to twist his body uncontrollably.

[System, is there any solution? ]

He Jiaojiao had no choice but to ask the system for help.

[Host, Mo Ran's body is six-star and cannot absorb so much energy at once. The only way is to help him break through.]

He Jiaojiao immediately understood and quickly exchanged a few Spirit Gathering Pills from the system. Then, while Mo Ran was not paying attention, she threw them directly into his mouth.

The commotion in the stone house quickly attracted many people, but everyone just stood outside the house, not daring to go in. After the elders and Lan Yu arrived, everyone rushed in.

As soon as they entered the door, everyone was stunned.

In front of the huge dragon, He Jiaojiao looked particularly small.

He Jiaojiao was also confused. Mo Ran suddenly showed his true form just now, and his true form was slowly changing until it became what he saw now.

The huge snake's black scales exuded a chilling chill, and its once smooth head now had two horns. This appearance reminded He Jiaojiao of Xing Ci. She remembered that Xing Ci's original form was similar to Mo Ran's current one.

"Jiaojiao!"

Seeing that the dragon was about to approach He Jiaojiao, Lan Yu immediately stepped forward, protected He Jiaojiao behind him, and threw a volley of ice cones at the dragon.

That’s right, Lan Yu’s ability is ice-related, but he is much stronger than Mo Ran and can condense a large ice cone in an instant.

He Jiaojiao's eyes were red with anger. She didn't even have the chance to explain that the person in front of her was Mo Ran before she was pulled aside by Lan Yu.

Seeing that the ice cone was about to hurt Mo Ran, He Jiaojiao quickly broke free from Lan Yu and ran towards Mo Ran. Mo Ran regained consciousness and opened his eyes to see He Jiaojiao rushing towards him. He quickly used his body to block He Jiaojiao.

The sharp ice cone shattered directly after touching Mo Ran's hard scales, which surprised Lan Yu who was standing by.

"Aran, are you okay?"

He Jiaojiao screamed and hurried to check. She was relieved to find that Mo Ran was not injured.

Ah Ran?

Wait, the dragon in front of me is actually Mo Ran?

The next second, Mo Ran changed back into his orc form, stepped forward and hugged He Jiaojiao into his arms, "I'm fine, Jiaojiao, are you hurt?"

When he regained consciousness, he was almost terrified to see He Jiaojiao disregarding her own safety and trying to block the icicles for him. Jiaojiao, such a delicate female, was willing to risk her life for him. Now that he was holding He Jiaojiao in his arms, he felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.

"Mo... Mo Ran..."

Lan Yu was stunned. The dragon just now was actually Mo Ran.

"Lan Yu, I'm going to take Jiaojiao away now."

The moment he looked at Lan Yu, Mo Ran's eyes instantly turned vertical, shocking Lan Yu so much that he couldn't help but take two steps back.

"he......"

The elder looked at Mo Ran in shock. He had originally thought that He Jiaojiao only had a six-star snake beast by her side, so how powerful could it be? But he hadn't expected that he would suddenly transform into a Jiao. You know, Jiaolong is only one step away from being a dragon, and dragons are considered divine beasts in the beast world.

Lan Yu remained silent. Mo Ran ignored him and simply hugged He Jiaojiao and prepared to leave.

As she was about to reach the door, He Jiaojiao suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait!"

Mo Ran was puzzled, but still obediently put He Jiaojiao down.

"Lan Yu, I have already given you the chance. Since you and I are not of the same kind, I will return this mermaid pearl to you now." After saying that, He Jiaojiao had a dagger in her hand, and she stabbed it towards her heart without hesitation.

When Mo Ran noticed it, it was too late to stop it. He hurriedly hugged He Jiaojiao and let her lean on his arms.

"Now, I will return this mermaid pearl to you. We will no longer have any relationship."

He Jiaojiao spread out her hand, and in her palm was a mermaid pearl stained with blood.

Lan Yu didn't expect that He Jiaojiao could do this. He didn't reach out to take it. A voice in his heart told him that if he took the mermaid pearl, there would be no possibility for him and He Jiaojiao to be together.

Seeing that Lan Yu didn't take it, He Jiaojiao sneered and threw the mermaid pearl directly to the ground.

"He Jiaojiao..." The elder hurried forward, blocking the way between He Jiaojiao and Mo Ran. Thinking of Mo Ran's current status, he immediately put on a smile, "Saint Female, since you have become a partner with Lan Yu, there is naturally no reason to return this mermaid pearl."

"No!" He Jiaojiao said coldly, "Ever since he decided to force me to stay here, he is no longer my partner."

But the elder still had no intention of giving up. "This is my idea. It has nothing to do with Lan Yu. He is just..."

"enough!"

Lan Yu roared, interrupting the elder's next words.

He Jiaojiao turned around and saw Lan Yu coming to her. He picked up the mermaid pearl on the ground and wiped it clean on his animal skin skirt. "Jiaojiao, since I gave it to you, it's yours. You don't have to return it to me."

"no need!"

He Jiaojiao raised her head, looked at Mo Ran, and then said to him coquettishly, "A Ran, let's go home!"

Mo Ran nodded, picked up He Jiaojiao directly, walked out of the stone house without looking back, then instantly turned into a dragon, took He Jiaojiao away without looking back.

"Elder..."

As soon as He Jiaojiao and the others left, a mermaid hurriedly ran towards them.

The elder was still angry, wondering why Lan Yu was so useless. Not only did he fail to keep the Holy Female, but he was now rejected by her. He was afraid that the mermaid clan would really become extinct in the future.

"What's the matter?"

The elder suppressed his anger and asked impatiently.

"A female is pregnant!"

The mermaid who came to report the news was so excited that her voice couldn't stop trembling.

what?

Lan Yu raised his head, and the tears in his eyes could no longer be held back and fell.

Jiaojiao really didn't lie to him. The disaster of the mermaid clan was indeed caused by the night pearl. Lan Yu felt heartbroken when he thought that he didn't believe Jiaojiao and treated him like that.

The elder was ecstatic, "Really?"

The visitor nodded, "It's true. The witch doctor has just checked and she is really pregnant."

The elder nodded repeatedly. The merman race was finally no longer facing extinction. However... the elder looked at Lan Yu with a somewhat embarrassed look, as if he was hesitant to speak.

"Go and release Yue'er!"

The elder instructed the mermaid beside him.

The mermaids in the stone house gradually dispersed, and finally only Lan Yu and the elder were left. The elder wanted to speak several times, but seeing Lan Yu so heartbroken, he finally couldn't bear it.

"Go find her!"

Then he patted Lan Yu on the shoulder and left.

The empty stone house still retains the scent of He Jiaojiao.

Looking at everything familiar in front of me, it seemed as if He Jiaojiao's shadow was still in every corner.

Thinking of He Jiaojiao's cold look when she left, Lan Yu finally couldn't help it. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he slowly fell to the ground.
