Feasibility of Mermaids Infiltrating Qilin

Su Xingze teleported to the outside of the Lin residence, appeared in a deserted alley, and then headed straight for the Lin residence.

The gates of the Lin residence were tightly closed. He leaped lightly over the courtyard wall, nimbly bounding and running across the top of the wall like a cat. His toes barely touched the surface of the wall before he swept over the high walls that separated the courtyards.

During this time, someone from the Lin family discovered him. The light, melodious sound of bells rang out, and the person who discovered him would be so dazed that they would ignore his presence.

On the other side, Zhang Shenglin and Zhang Haike were working together more and more smoothly, while the newly mutated monster could only use its claws to attack, had almost no moves, and relied entirely on its brute force and speed.

However, as the monster fought with Zhang Shenglin, it began to imitate the moves that Zhang Shenglin and Zhang Shenglin had used before.

Although the imitation was very clumsy, like a child just learning to walk, full of flaws in Zhang Shenglin's eyes, the fact that it could imitate was already a rather ominous sign.

They couldn't wait any longer. Zhang Shenglin's gaze sharpened, and he exchanged a glance with Zhang Haike. Both of them could see that the other wanted to finish the battle quickly.

Zhang Haike nodded slightly. As the two figures intersected, they simultaneously changed their moves. The knives in their hands were no longer intended to kill, but rather their power was reduced.

The two seemed to be slowly losing ground, but in reality, the monster had already lost all room to resist under their guidance. Surrounded by the two, the monster faced a long sword that was wielded with impenetrable force no matter which direction it went.

With a whooshing sound, the blades gleamed coldly in the morning light as Zhang Shenglin and Zhang Haike simultaneously raised their swords to strike the monster's head.

Seeing this from a distance, Master Lin's eyes widened in horror, and he cried out in alarm, "Don't kill her!"

"mother!"

At some point, perhaps drawn by the sounds of fighting in the courtyard, Young Master Lin suddenly appeared at the courtyard gate, just in time to see his older brother, whom he had asked to help just yesterday, slashing at his mother with a knife.

He rushed over with his short legs. His appearance was unexpected by everyone, but the mutated monster had long lost all emotions. In its eyes, Young Master Lin was just a fresh and weak food.

The monster's eyes flashed with malice. Taking advantage of the opening Zhang Haike made because of the appearance of Young Master Lin, the monster almost instantly broke through Zhang Haike's blockade and rushed towards Young Master Lin like a whirlwind, extending its sharp claws to slash at the child.

Just as the claws were about to injure Young Master Lin, Zhang Shenglin lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaped into the air, and spun around to kick the monster hard in the side.

The monster was struck hard and kicked away, landing heavily on the bluestone ground beneath it, where the bluestone cracked slightly.

Young Master Lin almost became the monster's prey, and deep fear appeared in his clear eyes. But when he saw the monster lying on the ground with a blank expression, Young Master Lin clenched his fists and rushed in front of the monster, spreading his arms to block it.

"Don't hurt my mother!" His voice was very childish, but the childish tone did not diminish his determination in the slightest.

He was already six years old, and would be seven after the New Year. He wasn't ignorant; his mother had changed so much, how could he not know that she had become a monster?

But that was his mother. Even though she had become a monster, he could still recognize her as his gentle mother.

“Chang Huan…” When Mr. Lin saw the small figure blocking his wife’s way, tears welled up in his eyes.

He looked at Madam Lin on the ground, whose eyes had lost all their former clarity and were now filled only with a tyrannical appetite, and his gaze revealed a clear tenderness.

The monster that Madam Lin had transformed into had a strong self-healing ability. In just a short time, the wounds on its body had healed. It got up from the ground, and the mutation of its body became more and more serious.

“Qiu Niang…” Master Lin sighed as he walked toward Madam Lin, even as Madam Lin raised her blood-stained, ferocious claws at him and his son.

Mr. Lin opened his arms and smiled at Madam Lin, saying, "I told you, if I really can't save you, I won't let you go alone."

As for their son, he was still so young, so he and Qiu Niang didn't take him with them when they left.

Seeing that the monster's claws were about to pierce through Master Lin's chest, Zhang Haike's expression changed, and he rushed over anxiously to try to stop it.

No, why would someone deliberately go looking for death in front of a monster?

Zhang Shenglin made no move, but his gaze towards Master Lin was subtly moved.

His inaction was not out of respect for Master Lin's choice, but because he sensed that the little mermaid had arrived.

Of course, if Master Lin insists on dying with Madam Lin, he will not stop him.

Just as the sharp claws were about to pierce through Master Lin's chest, Zhang Haike seemed to be hallucinating the sound of flesh being torn apart. At that moment...

Ring ring... Ring ring...

The melodious and pleasant sound, each ring carrying an ethereal bell tone, came from afar.

The monster froze, its movements obscured by the ethereal, indistinct sound of a bell.

A hint of struggle flickered in the eyes of that crazed and savage monster.

Master Lin's eyes lit up with surprise as he stepped forward and hugged the mutated monster, who was taller than him: "Qiu Niang!"

Amidst the ethereal and distant sound of the bell, the monster's eyes gradually cleared.

Zhang Haike listened blankly and bewildered to the incessant ringing of the bells, turning his head left and right in an attempt to find the source of the noise.

Zhang Shenglin looked up at the top of the courtyard wall with a clear purpose, his eyes softening.

"Aze."

Su Xingze stopped shaking the bell, lightly leaped down from the wall, and instinctively tried to land on his shoulder, but forgot his current size and ended up bumping into Zhang Shenglin's arms.

Zhang Shenglin helped him up, and under Zhang Haike's shocked gaze, a smile appeared on his face as he softly asked, "Are you alright?"

Su Xingze rubbed his nose, which was a little sore from the impact, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"fine."

During their brief exchange, the monster underwent another change.

The 'person' inside the monster, temporarily awakened by Su Xingze with the sound of the bell, sighed softly.

To be honest, the mutated monster's voice wasn't pleasant; it was hoarse and distorted. However, the speaker's rhythm was slow and rhythmic, which made people overlook the discomfort.

“I am not Qiu Niang, I am Bai Su.”

Mr. Lin was completely bewildered and at a loss. He looked up and stared at Bai Su's eyes, which were so different from his wife's.

He didn't care who Bai Su was; he only eagerly asked, "Where is Qiu Niang?"

A complex expression flickered across Bai Su's face. "She is asleep in this body. Her spirit is too fragile to withstand the erosion of the mutation. Once she awakens in this body, she will be eroded by the mutation and die immediately."

She never imagined she would wake up one day. Over the years, her remaining fragmented soul had been sleeping in the elixir until she heard that strange bell.

Bai Su was no ordinary person. Although she didn't know what had happened, she had firsthand experience from hundreds of years ago, and she understood the current situation almost instantly.

At the same time, she also discovered a weak soul relying on her remnant soul, which was the original owner of this body.

The body's owner was just a woman who was born sickly and weak. Her soul was already weaker than that of an ordinary person, and her spirit should have been completely twisted and alienated during the mutation.

But she was lucky, as she was protected by the power within her, a power given to her by the white dragon, which the white dragon had exchanged for by giving up an entire dragon horn.

Mr. Lin put it down with trembling hands; he looked much older in just one morning.

"Is Qiu Niang really beyond saving?" His face turned ashen.

"Not necessarily. I might have a way to restore her to normal."

Su Xingze's voice rang out slowly, and under the surprised gaze of Master Lin, he continued:

"She is already dead. You have seen the consequences of her coming back to life. The elixir is incredibly powerful, but the side effects are too strong."

"My method can prevent her from being transformed into a monster by the elixir, but she can only live for three more months at most. After three months, she will definitely die."

"It all depends on whether you're willing to pay the price."
