Chapter 269 The Mermaid

"Ming'er, what is that?"

Lu Qizhi pointed at the statue and asked.

"You can't point at the Mermaid Queen like that!" Ming'er frowned and said angrily, "The Mermaid Queen will be angry!"

"The Mermaid Queen?" Jing Che was puzzled. Before he left, there was no sculpture of the Mermaid Queen.

"The Mermaid Queen came last month. She protects us mermaids from illness and disaster. We all respect her very much." Ming'er angrily threw Lu Qizhi's snack box back into his arms: "You are disrespectful to the Mermaid Queen. I don't want your things!"

Lu Qizhi looked down at the box in his hand, speechless.

Looking at Ming'er's appearance, she has been brainwashed.

What kind of evil cult is this Mermaid Goddess? This ghost statue is still sucking their life force.

Lu Qizhi stuffed the snack back into Ming'er's arms and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have pointed directly at the Mermaid Queen. I just arrived and didn't know she existed."

"Alright." Ming'er curled her lips and said, "Apologize to the Mermaid Queen."

"Row."

Lu Qizhi nodded. He could apologize, but he didn’t know if the mermaid queen could bear it.

Lu Qizhi raised his hand and bowed to the statue of the Mermaid.

"My Lady Mermaid, ignorance is not a crime. I believe you are a magnanimous person and will not blame me."

Lu Qizhi raised his head and met the sculpture's eyes. They were a pair of black pearls, surrounded by a black mist that only Lu Qizhi could see.

After a moment, the sculpture suddenly cracked, and more than a dozen cracks suddenly appeared on its smooth face. An endless amount of vitality overflowed from it, circling above the heads of the mermaids, and then flew back into their bodies.

They were completely unaware of this, and were just shocked and frightened when they saw the statue's face change.

"Why is the statue of the Mermaid cracked?"

"It's over, go find the envoy!"

"..."

Lu Qizhi looked at the mermaids in chaos, raised the corners of his mouth secretly, and then returned to normal.

Seeing this, Ming'er no longer had time to care about Qizhi and Jingche, and followed the large group to rush towards the envoy's residence.

Jing Che looked at Lu Qizhi and asked, "You did it."

Lu Qizhi nodded: "That's not a good thing."

Although Lu Qizhi did not explain why, Jing Che trusted him unconditionally.

Soon the legendary messenger arrived. She was a white mermaid. She wore a white mask that covered her face, leaving only a pair of dark eyes visible. Her long black hair was like a waterfall, and her hair was level with her fishtail, which looked very strange.

She held the snack box that Lu Qizhi had given to Ming'er and came to the statue of the Mermaid. She looked at it again and again and said, "There are uninvited guests who disturbed the Mermaid."

uninvited guest?

Everyone looked at Jing Che and Lu Qizhi at the same time.

"Ache is back." Familiar uncles and aunts spoke.

"Ache is a child of our mermaid tribe. He is definitely not an uninvited guest."

"I've never seen the golden mermaid next to him. The uninvited guest the envoy mentioned must be him."

Mermaids swarmed over, and Jing Che stood in front of Lu Qizhi: "Qian En is not a bad person, don't be fooled by this messenger."

"Ah Che, were you led astray during your trip?" An uncle asked, "The Mermaid Goddess saved your grandfather and is a great benefactor. The envoy said the mermaid you brought back is a bad person, so that must be the case."
