Refining divine pills, controlling divine beasts, and the useless lady is so cool

Yun Xiao was safe and sound, but behind him sat a beautiful little mermaid, tears streaming down her face.

Mu Qingli immediately took out two bottles to collect the little mermaid's tears.

The tears of the mermaids are a holy product for healing. Many healing pills above the imperial level will at least double their healing effect once they contain mermaids' tears.

The little mermaid looked at Mu Qingli's operation and immediately forgot to cry and her tears stopped.

Mu Qingli shook the bottles. There were only about 20 or 30 tears in the two bottles combined. She said with a hint of regret, "Why aren't you crying anymore? I want to collect some more."

The little mermaid took a step back in horror.

Xiao Lingyi walked to the front and took a look at the little mermaid: "She's so small, couldn't she have been born not long ago? Is there anyone else here?"

The little mermaid looked at the seven people and one beast in front of her without saying a word. Her delicate little face looked pitiful because she had been crying.

"Little Mermaid, do you have any other family?"

When Luo Ning saw this beautiful little mermaid, her tone was particularly gentle, which combined with her cute appearance made her look harmless.

The little mermaid pointed at Yun Xiao and uttered four words: "Bad beast, hit me."

After hearing this, Yun Xiao raised his little paw again, wanting to slap her a few more times: "I'm not a bad beast, I'm my mother's good baby!"

The little mermaid immediately hid behind Mu Qingli. She felt that the breath of Mu Qingli made her feel comfortable, and she unconsciously wanted to get closer to him. She hugged Mu Qingli's thighs tightly with her hands.

Mu Qingli glanced at the timid little mermaid, stretched out his hand to block Yun Xiao's little claws, and whispered in its ear: "I'll reward you with two bottles of pills. Go back and get them yourself."

Yun Xiao immediately stopped caring about fighting with the little mermaid and ran back to the space excitedly.

Seeing that Yun Xiao was gone, the little mermaid let go of Mu Qingli and tried to escape.

Mu Qingli had already seen through her intention and grabbed the little mermaid's two pigtails. The little mermaid failed to escape and her eyes were red with grievance.

Mu Qingli took out the bottle again, ready to collect the little mermaid's tears, but the little mermaid immediately held back her tears: "You are bad people!"

"Ha, we are the bad guys? Were you the one who threw the stone at us just now?"

Murong Jingchen immediately refuted the little mermaid's words when he heard them.

The sound was a little loud, and the little mermaid flinched in fright.

As the victim, Luo Yu also echoed: "Were you the one who hit us just now?"

The little mermaid buried her head in Mu Qingli's legs and refused to say a word.

Shangguan Xiyue looked at Luo Yu and Murong Jingchen reproachfully: "Don't be so fierce, you two. Look how scared she is. It would be better if you were as quiet as Ayan and Yi Ge."

Pei Yan and Xiao Lingyi, who were praised, stood quietly in the back. They felt that Mu Qingli could handle the little mermaid by herself.

Mu Qingli rubbed the little mermaid's head and said gently, "Little mermaid, don't be afraid. We are not bad people. Tell me, why did you throw stones at them just now?"

The little mermaid raised her head and pouted. "Grandpa said that people with two legs are bad people. They wanted to steal our treasures and almost wiped us out! Just because you have two legs, you are bad people!"

Mu Qingli raised his eyebrows slightly and continued, "Is your grandfather here too? Why doesn't he come out to protect you?"

When the little mermaid heard the word "grandfather", she burst into tears, and Mu Qingli began to wipe her tears in a hurry.

She didn't stop until the little mermaid stopped crying.

"Grandpa is sick, otherwise he would definitely protect me!"

Mu Qingli's eyes flickered as he coaxed the little mermaid: "Little mermaid, there are many animals with two legs. We are not the bad people your grandfather said we were. We are good people and can help heal your grandfather."

When the little mermaid heard that Mu Qingli could help cure her grandfather's illness, her eyes widened: "Are you really not a bad person?"

"How could a bad person help your grandfather cure his illness? Don't you think so?"

The little mermaid tilted her head and thought for a long time, still a little hesitant.

Seeing that her attitude was wavering, Mu Qingli immediately added: "If we are bad people, why don't we hurt you?"

The little mermaid finally made a decision: "Then promise me that you will not hurt my grandfather."

"Well, not only will it not hurt your grandfather, it will also cure your grandfather's illness."

When the little mermaid saw Mu Qingli's assurance, she finally let down her guard, but only towards Mu Qingli.

"I just want you to go with me, they can't."

Mu Qingli nodded immediately: "Okay."

After saying that, Mu Qingli discussed with his friends and decided to stay where they were and wait. Mu Qingli followed the little mermaid to see her grandfather.

The little mermaid took Mu Qingli around in the boat and turned left and right until they reached a corner. The little mermaid flipped through the book in the corner, and an illusory door appeared in the air.

Following the little mermaid inside, the scenery inside is completely different from the outside.

It was a huge crystal palace that looked extremely precious, yet somewhat lonely.

The little mermaid took Mu Qingli into the gate of the crystal palace, which was magnificent and filled with all kinds of treasures.

However, Mu Qingli only took a glance and then looked away, following the little mermaid to her grandfather's residence.

The old mermaid's eyebrows and beard were all gray, his face was full of weathering, and there was sadness between his brows. He was lying on the bed with his back hunched.

Hearing the noise, he raised his eyes and looked over. When he saw the little mermaid, a smile appeared on his face. Before he could ask questions, he saw Mu Qingli behind the little mermaid.

He suddenly sat up from the bed, his face showing a mixture of shock and joy, his trembling fingers leaving a line of tears.

The little mermaid seemed frightened and immediately went up to hug him: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Are you scared? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought her in."

The old mermaid held her in his arms, used one hand to wipe away his tears, and murmured softly: "I don't blame you, Grandpa is just too happy."

Mu Qingli watched the interaction between the grandfather and grandson, stood where he was, not wanting to disturb them.

The old mermaid coaxed the little mermaid and let her go outside the store to play alone. The little mermaid looked at Mu Qingli and didn't want to go out.

"Be good, grandpa just wants to say a few words to her and will let you in later."

The little mermaid then walked out reluctantly, closing the door behind her.

When the old mermaid saw his granddaughter leave, he set his gaze on Mu Qingli, as if he recalled some memories. After a moment of trance, he sighed softly.

"You are finally here, and I have finally waited for you."

The old mermaid seemed to have completed a mission, and a sense of relief emanated from her whole body.

"Wait for me? Why?"
