Chapter 1283: Mermaid Prince

The power of the Life Water is incomparably pure.

Wang Jianqiang has no injuries in his body at all; letting all this power dissipate would be too much of a pity.

With a thought, he secretly gathered the life force that was dissipating throughout his body, transforming it into a jade-green ball of light.

Seeing that the ball of light was very stable and showed no signs of dissipating, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

"Recovered?"

Just as Wang Jianqiang opened his eyes, an ethereal and calm voice reached his ears.

Hearing this voice, Wang Jianqiang chuckled inwardly.

This Mermaid Princess's acting is quite good; if not for his own "severe injury" this time, the Mermaid Princess would not have lost her composure.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to see the flaw.

"Thanks to the Princess's Pill, this subordinate has completely recovered."

Wang Jianqiang stood up and bowed to the Mermaid Princess.

Seeing Wang Jianqiang bowing, the Mermaid Princess subconsciously protected her chest, then immediately reacted.

She hurriedly moved her hands away, a flash of unnaturalness crossing her face, before quickly returning to normal.

"Princess, what is wrong with you?"

Wang Jianqiang was full of concern, "Did this subordinate just... hurt you? Let this subordinate help you take a look."

"Tianyu, what nonsense are you spouting?"

The Mermaid Princess's face turned red in a flash.

Wang Jianqiang's expression froze, then he revealed a look of self-reproach, "Princess, please forgive me; this subordinate was too worried about the Princess and didn't react in time."

"It is all this subordinate's fault."

By the end of his words, a look of self-reproach appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face.

The Mermaid Princess shook her head, "Forget it, you meant well. I still have matters to attend to; you should leave quickly."

As she spoke, she pointed her finger.

A spatial opening appeared in front of Wang Jianqiang.

"Yes, Princess."

Wang Jianqiang nodded.

He walked toward the spatial opening, just at the moment he was about to step into it.

The Mermaid Princess suddenly coughed, and a trace of blood slipped from the corner of her lips.

Wang Jianqiang's footsteps paused.

A look of concern appeared on his face, "Princess, are you injured?"

The Mermaid Princess shook her head, "It is nothing; it is an injury sustained while fighting the Thirteenth Ancestor of the Octopus Clan, it won't kill me."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred.

Had the Mermaid Princess's injuries not already mostly recovered when she returned to the Mermaid Clan?

Why were they still not healed?

Could it be...

That her foundation was damaged?

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the scene where the Mermaid Princess's cultivation erupted.

For an Integration Stage cultivator to suddenly erupt with power comparable to a Great Vehicle Stage cultivator is an extremely incredible thing.

It is impossible for there to be no cost at all.

Perhaps her foundation was damaged at that time.

Thinking of this.

A flash of hesitation crossed his face.

He flipped his palm and took out a Jade Bottle, "Princess, this Jade Bottle was obtained from a ruin I accidentally encountered."

"The pills inside are all Sixth-tier Pills; perhaps they can be of help to you."

The Mermaid Princess was startled, a flash of being moved appearing in her eyes.

For a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, a Sixth-tier Pill is no different from a supreme treasure; even if one cannot use it, it can be used to exchange for treasures one can use.

Upon seeing her injured, Tianyu actually offered all the Sixth-tier Pills without hesitation.

Such affection cannot be said to be shallow.

It is just a pity.

Her injuries cannot be treated by ordinary Sixth-tier Pills.

She shook her head gently, "No need, my injuries cannot be treated by ordinary pills; you should take the pills back."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang stubbornly shook his head, "Princess, regardless of whether these pills can help you, this is a token of this subordinate's heart."

"You must accept them."

Sensing the determination in "Tianyu's" eyes, the Mermaid Princess was startled.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally did not refuse and nodded, "Fine, I will accept them."

Hearing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face, and only then did he walk into the spatial opening and disappear.

After Wang Jianqiang left, the spatial opening vanished.

The Mermaid Princess looked at the place where the spatial opening had disappeared, dazed for a moment.

After a long while, she finally came back to her senses.

She beckoned with her palm, taking the Jade Bottle left by Tianyu into her palm.

Looking at the Jade Bottle in her hand, a faint smile appeared on her face.

This guy...

He is actually quite stubborn.

She pondered for a moment, her finger tapping lightly on the bottom of the Jade Bottle.

Pop~

The bottle stopper opened.

Three round pills flew out from the Jade Bottle.

A rich medicinal fragrance instantly permeated the air.

This is...

A Sixth-tier High-grade Pill!

Sensing the intensity of the pill's aura, a look of astonishment appeared on the Mermaid Princess's face.

Within the Sea Region, resources are incredibly abundant.

But due to the environment, it is very difficult for an Alchemist to be born.

Furthermore, the difficulty of cultivation for an Alchemist in the Sea Region is far greater than on the Eight Continents.

This also makes the value of pills generally quite high within the Sea Region.

A Sixth-tier High-grade Pill.

Even for her, a Princess of the Mermaid Clan, a pill of this grade cannot be taken lightly.

Suddenly.

Her expression froze, and then a look of shock appeared.

Just as she smelled the medicinal fragrance, the injuries within her body actually showed signs of improvement.

It couldn't be such a coincidence, could it?

Her beautiful eyes could not help but widen a little.

After leaving the Mermaid Princess's residence, Wang Jianqiang was in a very good mood.

The Mermaid Princess's attitude toward him gave him a pleasant surprise.

It was just that the other party seemed very restrained, not wanting him to know her feelings for him.

Regarding this, Wang Jianqiang could also guess some of the reasons.

It was nothing more than the Mermaid Clan Rules.

In the Mermaid Clan Rules.

Any female cultivator selected to become the Mermaid Princess must form a Dao Companion bond with a Mermaid Prince.

Otherwise, she would face severe punishment under the clan rules.

If the powerful figures in the clan knew that the Mermaid Princess had been poached by an outsider.

Wouldn't the entire Mermaid Clan explode?

At this moment.

He could not help but recall the instructions the Mermaid Princess gave him back in the White Jade Sedan.

He couldn't help but smile.

Mermaid Clan Rules?

Those are for the Mermaid Clan; he is not a Mermaid Clan Cultivator and has no obligation to follow the Mermaid Clan Rules.

He must find a way to break the fear in the Mermaid Princess's heart and let her follow her own heart.

Of course, this is not because he is coveting the Mermaid Princess.

He still needs to enter the Phantom Spirit Realm to find the Ocean Heart.

Only then will the Mermaid Princess help him without any reservations.

Only then will he have the opportunity to enter the Phantom Spirit Realm.

"You are Tianyu?"

Just as Wang Jianqiang was thinking while walking toward the Outer City District.

A voice suddenly reached his ears.

This voice contained a trace of intense hostility.

This chill had already condensed into substance, enough to affect reality.

The moment it entered Wang Jianqiang's ears, it erupted directly.

Wang Jianqiang's heart stirred.

His figure trembled.

A layer of frost instantly condensed on the surface of his body, and he let out a muffled groan, forcibly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The dripping blood turned into ice crystals before it even hit the ground.

He turned around unsteadily; behind him, appearing from nowhere, was a young man.

The young man's face was like jade, his features sharp and well-defined as if carved by a knife and axe.

Among all the men Wang Jianqiang had seen.

The only one who could rival him in appearance was Mo Wuming.

Of course.

He had already excluded himself; compared to him, there was still some gap between the two.

His own peerless beauty was too far off the charts; comparing with them was a bit too bullying.

Wang Jianqiang's thoughts flickered.

His outward complexion had already turned deathly pale, and his body was becoming stiff under the erosion of that chill.

Upon seeing the young man, Wang Jianqiang instinctively felt he looked somewhat familiar.

Immediately after, he obtained the answer from Tianyu's memories.

This person was none other than the only descendant of the Mermaid Empress and that deceased Imperial Lord of the Mermaid Clan, the supreme prodigy of the Mermaid Clan, and the future Dao Companion of the Mermaid Princess...

The Mermaid Prince of this generation!

Mingchen.
