Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold

"Why are you helping me?"

Zhi Xi turned her head arrogantly, stubbornly saying:

"Who’s helping you? Don’t get the wrong idea! This princess is going home, let me go home!"

Lin Lang suddenly had a greedy look on his face, his eyes scanning Zhi Xi. Then he smirked and said:

"You want to go home? I’m afraid that’s not possible for now!"

Zhi Xi was startled, instinctively covering her chest, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes, she asked:

"Why? What do you want to do to me?"

Xina looked at Lin Lang with confusion, not understanding what he was up to.

Lin Lang remained calm, speaking slowly:

"You’re the legendary mermaid, a new species! Of course, I have to study you properly first!"

...

Hearing this, Xina’s eyes instantly brightened, like discovering a new continent. She nodded repeatedly, excitedly saying:

"That’s right, from the perspective of biological science, her research value is indeed very high!"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Xi turned pale with fright, looking at Lin Lang in horror, stammering:

"You... you you, you beast, how do you want to study me?"

Mother was right —

Humans are very evil, very terrifying creatures!

And to think I thought this Lin Lang was different from the others!

Unexpectedly, he is especially evil!

He actually wants to study me?!

Lin Lang deliberately put on a vicious look and seriously said:

"There are many methods! Slicing, braising, steaming..."

As he spoke, he even deliberately licked his lips!

As if there was truly a delicious dish in front of him, saliva almost dripping.

Xina was first stunned, then her mouth opened wide in surprise, saying:

"Oh, so you’re researching how to eat?"

Zhi Xi was scared out of her wits, her face turning paper-white, tears welling up in her eyes, she said aggrievedly:

"You... you you, this princess came to save you! And you repay kindness with revenge, you want to eat me?"

Seeing this, Lin Lang couldn’t help but laugh, then a cunning look appeared on his face, saying:

"I was just joking!"

Eating a tender-skinned little mermaid like this would be a waste of a gift, wouldn’t it?

After hearing this, Zhi Xi’s face froze, both angry and annoyed —

What a terrible joke!

It’s not funny at all!

But at least a weight was lifted off her heart.

Xina looked at Lin Lang speechlessly, feeling helpless at his sudden joke.

Lin Lang put away his smile and said seriously again:

"Don’t worry, I won’t eat you. But you really can’t leave for now."

Upon hearing this, Zhi Xi’s nerves, which had just relaxed, tensed up again. She asked cautiously:

"Why?"

Lin Lang explained seriously:

"The old Daoists from the Golden Dragon Cave might come looking for trouble with you! You wouldn’t want to be locked back into that horrible bottle, would you?"

The little mermaid heard this!

She couldn’t help but recall the terrifying experience inside the Demon Refining Bottle!

Her face instantly turned even paler!

Her body trembled slightly, shaking her head desperately, her gaze full of fear.

"No, no, I don’t want to!"

...

[Zhi Xi] (Merfolk Race)

[Appearance: 9.7]

[Recharge: 0 times]

[Loyalty: 10%]

[Return Multiplier: 300]

[Combat Power: S]

[Ability: Divine Water (Level 9); Charming Sound (Level 9); Unyielding (Level 9)]

Looking at the information of the trembling little mermaid!

Lin Lang smiled as if his plot had succeeded —

Afraid of revenge from the Daoists of the Golden Dragon Cave?

This was, of course, just an excuse!

After all, a little mermaid with a 9.7 appearance is rare in the world!

Initially thinking she couldn’t recharge, it didn’t matter how beautiful she was, so Lin Lang hadn’t paid much attention to her.

Now knowing she could turn into a human!

There’s no way to let her go easily!

Lin Lang had eaten fish before.

But he hadn’t tasted mermaid yet!

It had to be tried!

...

The simple-minded Zhi Xi accepted this explanation, but her pitiful eyes flashed a hint of worry, asking:

"So when can I go home?"

Lin Lang pondered for a moment, then said seriously:

"Once I get rid of the threat of the Golden Dragon Cave, you’ll naturally be able to go home, without having to worry about them seeking revenge."

Upon hearing this!

Not only Zhi Xi!

Even Xina was stunned with wide eyes:

"Destroy the Golden Dragon Cave!"

Xina couldn’t help but exclaim!

"That’s a cultivator faction! Not some ragtag band, it’s not that easy to accomplish!"

Zhi Xi also frowned, seriously advising:

"Don’t brag again! Cultivators have existed in this world far longer than you can imagine!"

"The foundation they’ve built is deep, beyond what ordinary people can easily fathom."

"You’ve only defeated one Master Yunyang, the real strong ones in their sect haven’t even made a move yet!"

"Even our Merfolk Race doesn’t dare to provoke the cultivator factions easily... You mustn’t act impulsively."

Lin Lang, however, was full of confidence, determination and decisiveness in his eyes, as if the destruction of the Golden Dragon Cave was already destined:

"Whatever cultivator they are, they’ve crossed my bottom line this time, they’re bound to die!"

Xina, puzzled, tilted her head and asked:

"What’s a bottom line?"

Lin Lang slightly squinted his eyes, his tone cold:

"It’s my limit. They dared to lay hands on you, my friend! I must destroy them!"

He looked at the little mermaid as he spoke.

The little mermaid Zhi Xi was dumbfounded!

Friend?

Is he talking about me?

But when did this princess become his friend?

She looked at Lin Lang’s serious demeanor, feeling a bit confused, yet there was a faint touch of warmth in her heart!
