Chapter 291: Some Wisdom, But Not Much
Bai Yaoyao no longer paid attention to the crimes and consequences of Xia Shizhong, Xia Rulan, Qin Ming and others. She left everything to the country and the law. They would never get away with it!
In the next few days, she was busy cooperating with the academicians of Huazhong University of Science and Technology to deal with the various mirage sea beasts brought back, helping Academician Su Li to set up the spiritual soil experimental field in Wumeng Mountain, and transplanting the elven fruit trees, green trees, drunken dragon grass, dew grass and other Azeroth specialties in the previous Huazhong University of Science and Technology laboratory to the newly built laboratory in Wumeng Mountain.
A week passed in the blink of an eye. Under the repeated urging of the mermaid saint Lan Qimeng, Bai Yaoyao brought Lingmao, Chen Yingjie and Murong Liuguang back to the secret realm of Mirage Sea.
In the secret realm of Mirage Sea, inside the healing pavilion.
Lan Qimeng, who was originally hanging loosely on Bai Yaoyao, dived into the healing pool, swam a few laps happily, and let out a long sigh.
"Huh! I'm finally back!"
Bai Yaoyao looked at her with lingering fear and smiled secretly with her hands covering her mouth.
This mermaid saint was probably traveling so far for the first time, especially since Blue Star and the Mirage Sea Secret Realm were completely two different worlds. Everything she saw was strange and everything she ate was delicious.
In addition, the people from Huazhong University of Science and Technology are people who like to study new things. Everyone wants to touch the first mermaid on Blue Planet and pull a strand of her hair to study it.
Especially after Lan Qimeng let it slip that the spiritual light stabilizer was actually her tears, things got out of control.
This mermaid saint who had never seen the world was coaxed by a bunch of sweet words, provided with delicious food and drink, and shed countless pounds of her own tears. Dean Zhong and his colleagues were so happy that they wanted to keep her in Huazhong University of Science and Technology forever.
Later, Lan Qimeng's eyes were swollen from crying and she couldn't cry anymore, so she hurriedly urged Bai Yaoyao to take her home.
"Ah! The elder is right! No matter how good it is, home is still the best! I will never go to that place of yours again next time!"
After swimming two laps, Lan Qimeng lay on the shore, sighed comfortably, looked up at Chen Yingjie and Bai Yaoyao by the pool, and said angrily, "I finally realized it now. You guys treat me to some vulgar food every day just to make me cry!"
Lan Qimeng swung her beautiful tail and slapped it angrily on the water, splashing water all over the ground. "Yes! And my hair! Scales! Even my blood was tricked into them!"
Seeing Lan Qimeng so indignant, Bai Yaoyao and Chen Yingjie looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at each other.
Lan Qimeng was immediately annoyed when she saw their actions. She jumped up, a faint spiritual light appeared on her body, and her fish tail turned into legs. She walked to Bai Yaoyao and pointed at her angrily, "You...you're still laughing! I am now your contracted spirit beast! Why don't you help me?!"
Seeing Lan Qimeng stamping her feet in anger, Bai Yaoyao hurried forward and held her hand.
"Good Qimeng, don't be angry! I didn't force you! It was you who was greedy for those barbecued meats, fried chicken, barbecued hot pots, etc. That's why you donated your hair and tears so eagerly. I couldn't persuade you to stop!"
Lan Qimeng's eyes widened in disbelief, "You...are you gloating? Humph! If I had known, I shouldn't have chosen you in a hurry and made a contract with you. If it wasn't for saving myself and you, I wouldn't have sacrificed myself!"
Bai Yaoyao: “…”
To be honest, even if Lan Qimeng hadn't rushed over to sign a contract with her that day and used her own spiritual power to help her break through Lu Fengxian's confinement, the worst that could happen to her would be the risk of Xiao Xiaoxiao's sanity being destroyed, and she could still let the system take them away.
But there is no need to say this to the Mermaid Saint.
After spending two weeks together, Bai Yaoyao has come to realize that Lan Qimeng's personality is extremely simple. She looks like an adult, but her heart is not much different from that of a child. She likes to eat and play, has some smarts but not much, and is easily influenced by others and trusts people easily.
Otherwise, she would not have been tricked by Lu Fengxian into entering the Najie Pearl on the pretext of taking her out for a stroll in the Mirage Sea. Then, Xiao Xiaoxiao, whose mind was controlled, would not have taken the Najie Pearl out of the Jubao Pavilion, thrown it into the healing pool, and fell into Lu Fengxian's hands.
Although Lan Qimeng was frightened and had become a little more mature after experiencing the incident with Lu Fengxian, this mermaid was just like other mermaids. She had forgotten the pain once the wound had healed. After a few days, she seemed to have forgotten the pain of being tortured by Lu Fengxian.
Fortunately, although everyone at Huazhong University of Science and Technology was obsessed with research, they also coaxed her to contribute a lot of things. Even though they were eager to detain Lan Qimeng at Huazhong University of Science and Technology to cooperate with the research, they acted with propriety. Only a little blood was drawn, and the scales on her body were all waiting for the ones that fell off Lan Qimeng's tail. Although she shed tears a little more because she was forced by Academician Cheng because the leader promised to help other countries for the sake of the international situation, she never stopped using medicinal herbs and eye drops to clear the liver and improve eyesight.
If the people she met weren't bad guys, with Lan Qimeng's simple personality, she would have been eaten alive long ago.
Although the mermaid saint had to form a pact with her in order to save herself, she did save the Chinese people with her tears. Bai Yaoyao was still very grateful.
"Alright, alright! Let's get out now! It's been two weeks since we returned to Blue Star, and two days have passed in the Mirage Sea Secret Realm. I'm afraid there has been a big fight in the Crystal Palace during these two days!"
Chen Yingjie's expression also became serious. "That day, Shopkeeper Canglan acted as a guarantor and pleaded with Elder Sailun for us to find the Saint within three days. Now it's already the third day, we should hurry over and report back!"
"Yes!" Lan Qimeng's face also changed. She immediately regretted that she had been too playful and forgot about the important things. "I have to go back and report my safety to the elders. They must be worried sick!"
She hurriedly took two steps towards the door, then suddenly stopped, turned her head and looked at Bai Yaoyao hesitantly.
"Yaoyao... I'm afraid I can't hide the fact that I signed a contract with you from the elders. You've only just started practicing, and they might..."
Lan Qimeng bit her lower lip lightly and didn't say anything else.
Bai Yaoyao took a few steps forward to her, led her out, and said as they walked, "It's okay. You told me before that most of the mermaid saints of your tribe stayed in the Mirage Sea Secret Realm for their entire lives. Only two saints made pacts with others, but they were also among the strongest in the Hongmeng Immortal Realm. I've only just established my foundation, so the elders will definitely look down on me."
Bai Yaoyao paused, "But the situation was urgent at the time. If you hadn't acted decisively, you would have lost your life. I think the elders would understand their desire to protect you. We just need to explain the situation to them."
Lan Qimeng nodded, but a trace of worry still flashed in the depths of her eyes...
