HCB Chapter 1031: Heaven’s Preference
Chapter 1031: Heaven’s Preference
Seeing that Luo Qi was about to lose his mind due to the anger of this group of people, Shen Weixun kindly helped his junior sister to get back on track at the critical moment:
"He is a mermaid."
Oh wow.
So many descendants present had never seen a mermaid in their entire lives, and for the moment they did not care about the little unpleasantness that had just occurred. They all showed an inexperienced look in their eyes and curiously came closer to watch.
"Is it really a mermaid?"
Yi Ling turned around with interest, "No wonder he looks different from us."
Although I have never seen them in person before, I have occasionally seen bits and pieces about them in books.
According to ancient records, mermaids have beautiful appearances, live under the South China Sea all year round and rarely show up. Legend has it that they even have the ability to turn their tears into pearls.
This is also the reason why they rarely appear in front of the world. Even though the mermaids and the cultivation world have a good relationship on the surface and most of the time they keep their distance from each other, people's hearts are different, and it is inevitable that some cultivators with evil intentions will have evil intentions against them.
The vast sea areas under the deep sea are their territory, in which there are all kinds of difficult sea monsters. If a cultivator without any strength dares to take action on their territory, he will basically end up dead.
Therefore, even the direct descendants have never seen a real mermaid.
Of course, Jiang Chaoxu doesn’t count.
The half human blood in his body is enough to eliminate some of the merman characteristics, at least making him look the same as a normal person.
Moreover, not all his direct descendants knew from the beginning that he was from the mermaid tribe.
So strictly speaking, Luo Qi was indeed the first mermaid they had seen.
"It must be true." Sang Wan said, "Gu Xia and the others have no reason to lie to us."
She moved closer and reached out to grab a strand of jade-like hair, her eyes shining, "And her hair is obviously different from ours."
His appearance was also elegant and delicate, which made several girls who were tired of looking at his fellow students feel a rare interest in him.
Although the looks of the descendants were also outstanding, the breathtakingly beautiful appearance of the mermaids undoubtedly caught everyone's attention.
Perhaps only Jiang Chaoxu, who is also from the mermaid tribe, can compete with him.
Sang Wan excitedly pulled Cen Huan and Chu Xianyin into the discussion, and let them touch each other's cool hair that looked like the finest silk.
Luo Qi felt his hair being pulled by a force: "..."
Wait, aren’t they said that female cultivators in the world of cultivation are all gentle and kind?
Then who is this person who is pulling his hair?
The ignored male monks on the side curled their lips, not understanding what they were so excited about.
The sword cultivator's focus shifted to the other side.
"Can tears really turn into pearls?"
Gu Xia raised an eyebrow, "Of course."
Gu Lanyi looked at her and vaguely guessed the truth, "Have you tried it?"
Seeing Gu Xia's mysterious expression, he immediately confirmed his thoughts.
It's easy to imagine that with Gu Xia's personality, how could it be possible for her to restrain herself from verifying it after staying in the mermaid tribe for so long?
Naturally, other people also heard their conversation, so a group of poor swordsmen turned their heads in unison, rubbing their hands and staring at the completely unaware Luo Qi.
At this moment, their eyes seemed to have collectively turned into spirit stones.
What is this? A walking spiritual stone storehouse?
Luo Qi shuddered subconsciously when he was stared at by a pair of wolf-like eyes.
It’s strange, why do I suddenly feel that the surroundings have become so cold?
Jiang Chaoxu looked at Luo Qi with a hint of sympathy. Luo Qi had no idea what he would face, and was thankful from the bottom of his heart that he was not a pure-blooded merman.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to escape the clutches of this group of people.

In the end, it was Xie Baiyi who spoke up and interrupted their thoughts of rushing over.
The boy's dark eyes seemed exceptionally calm, and he spoke in a cold voice, "Let's talk business first."
"Why do you want to use me and Jiang Chaoxu..." Xie Baiyi paused before uttering those two words, "Sacrifice to the Heaven?"
Sacrifice to heaven.
Just from these two words one can sense a strong sense of foreboding.
The others also became more serious in an instant, staring at the Taiyi Sect members who obviously knew the truth.
Gu Xia thought for a few seconds and said in a strange tone, "No, have you really never thought about why they are so persistent and love Xie Baiyi so deeply?" She didn't expect that this group of people really hadn't thought about this question. The title of silly and sweet really deserves them.
Xie Baiyi, who was disgusted, had a blank expression on his face, "Speak properly."
What does it mean to love him deeply?
Anyone who wants this kind of love can do it.
Ye Sui'an sighed, "Xie Baiyi is really ruthless."
He is the one who changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book.
Xu Xingmu nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, after all, you two were both struck by lightning just now."
This time, they both turned their heads and said in unison, "Shut up!"
Xu Xingmu: "QAQ"
Grievancejpg.
Continuing with the previous topic, Gu Xia organized his words a little, "You all should know that the demons wanted to force Xie Baiyi to dig out his spirit bones before. This time, when we were helping the mermaids to quell the unrest, we discovered that the demons' purpose of the massacre was precisely the mermaid pearls in their bodies."
"Are they crazy?" Yi Ling couldn't help but take a deep breath. "They're digging for spirit bones and splitting shark pearls. Do they want to go to heaven?"
Shu Yue murmured, "There is only one possibility. They are planning something, so they need these two or more things as a medium."
"That's right." Ye Sui'an snapped his fingers, "We thought so at the beginning."
Gu Lanyi frowned, "Spiritual bones... or the mermaid's mermaid pearls, is there anything special about them that is worthy of their attention?"
“It’s luck.”
Luo Qi was a little surprised by their reaction speed. He raised his eyebrows and looked at the group of disciples in front of him. "You should have heard that our mermaid clan has the blood of the divine beast. Although the power of the blood has been weakened a lot today, it is much better than the missing dragon clan and the long-extinct phoenix clan."
"The source of luck was divided into several portions by the Heavenly Dao and placed among various races, and your race has taken up a considerable portion of it." He looked at Xie Baiyi, "Especially you."
"Although this is only the first time we meet, the mutual induction between our destiny cannot be wrong."
Luo Qi looked at him with interest, "Your luck is very strong, which is enough to prove that the way of heaven still favors you very much."
Xie Baiyi was slightly stunned.
