In other words, these people were unwilling to accept the merman bloodline that had a short lifespan and could only walk on legs.

Their cognitive flaws led them to believe that the inheritance of this bloodline was due to the curse that the immortals had placed on their ancestors. They thought that the little packrat was an immortal, and this was why they knelt down to the little packrat.

Yun Ran knew that it was useless to explain a race like the merfolk who were sealed on an isolated island.

They had their own understanding and beliefs.

She decided not to explain.

In any case, if these people treated the little packrat as an immortal, their fear of Yun Ran’s group would deepen, and they would not dare to act rashly.

Yun Ran wanted to figure out how to save Xiao Yue now.

“We have mermaid tears, so what? How can we use mermaid tears to save Xiao Yue, who is also your king?”

Yun Ran found the old man again.

The old man thought that they were envoys sent by the immortals and hence, was very respectful to Yun Ran.

“Legend has it that only the blood of a man’s heart that is pure can melt the mermaid’s tears. The mermaid’s tears that can melt the blood of the heart can be sprinkled on the wound where the mermaid’s pearl was dug out to nurture a new mermaid’s pearl. However, it has to go to the merfolk’s altar on the night of the full moon and borrow the power of the divine stone.”

Yun Ran asked for more details about the operation and the location of the merfolks’ altar.

Then she went to look for Bai Qi and the others.

She relayed the information she had obtained to them.

After Bai Qi heard this, he asked Yun Ran to take his blood.

Yun Ran knew that this method might seem simple, but it was not.

“It’s very difficult to extract the blood from the heart. If the dagger is inserted into the heart, it will be fatal if it is an inch off or an inch deeper! According to them, the process of extracting the blood from the heart might need to be repeated many times until a new pearl nurtured.”

“This ritual has to be carried out at the merfolks’s altar. Once the ritual is activated, it can’t be stopped. Once the blood donor side retreats, the mermaid won’t be able to escape death. They don’t trust us to do this and want the males of their merfolk to complete it.”

“Also…

Yun Ran glanced at her two children. There were some things she had to avoid saying in front of them.

Yun Ran asked Bai Qi to carry Xiao Yue into the nearby forest before speaking again. “In addition, what the old man means is that this ceremony is equivalent to a marriage for the merfolk. You might need to consummate the marriage…”

Yun Ran could tell what had happened during this period of time. Bai Qi’s feelings for Xiao Yue were not ordinary, and Xiao Yue’s feelings for Bai Qi were also a little subtle.

However, neither of them said it explicitly. She was not sure what they were thinking.

But now, this matter had to be made clear.

“Well, why don’t you discuss it between yourselves?”

Seeing that the two of them were stunned and silent, Yun Ran left first and let them decide for themselves.

Only Bai Qi and Xiao Yue were left in the forest.

After a while, Bai Qi asked the little girl in his arms, “Xiao Yue, what do you think?”

Xiao Yue asked him to put her down.

However, Bai Qi was unwilling and said, “The ground is dirty.”

“You don’t have to be afraid. There’s no one else here. You just have to say what you’re thinking.”

Xiao Yue clearly understood what Yun Ran meant. If it was very dangerous to take the blood from the heart and an accident might happen, she definitely couldn’t let Bai Qi risk his life for her.

However, she was also unwilling to do that with those male merfolk.

For now, she could only make a choice. Then, after Bai Qi and the others left, she would reject this ritual.

So she bit her lip. “Brother Dahai, 1 want to choose from the male merfolk..”
