After Changing to the Ruthless Way, the Brothers Cried and Begged for Forgiveness Chapter 126: The Merfolks Miracle

Yu Zhao turned her hand, retrieving another white bead from her storage space. Comparing the two, she noticed that aside from their size, their color and sheen were nearly identical. She gazed in surprise at the spot where the smaller bead had appeared seemingly out of nowhere.

Could this an a new rfolk has been born?

However, whether due to the unique nature of the rfolk’s physiology or an unseen barrier between them, Yu Zhao felt the presence of soone watching her but couldn’t locate them. It was reminiscent of her first visit to the Undersea Palace, where she could sense the rfolk’s aura but couldn’t pinpoint their exact position.

Only a fellow rfolk seed capable of locating another.

With this in mind, Yu Zhao handed the tiny bead, resembling a grain of rice, to the rfolk before her. The rfolk froze, their entire being trembling with emotion.

“Where… did you find this?” they asked, their voice quivering.

Yu Zhao pointed silently to a spot nearby.

Like a whirlwind, the rfolk dashed to the indicated spot, calling out loudly. Their voice carried the unique cadence of their race’s language, incomprehensible to both Yu Zhao and Ji Han Zhou, but the spatial vibrations accompanying the words were palpable.

Finally, several spatial fissures tore open. From within, fist-sized, water-blue round eggs floated out one by one. Through their transparent shells, tiny, curled-up rfolk embryos could be seen.

Yu Zhao and Ji Han Zhou widened their eyes, holding their breaths, worried that even the slightest noise might disturb the unborn rfolk. The rfolk themselves seed equally cautious, their voice softening noticeably.

When the forty-eighth rfolk egg drifted out of the fissures, a long pause followed. No more eggs appeared, and the fissures began to close. Yu Zhao and the rfolk’s expressions grew increasingly grim.

The small bead Yu Zhao had found earlier was clearly from a successfully hatched rfolk. But now, as the spatial fissures neared closure, there was no sign of the newborn. Could sothing have gone wrong?

“Eee!”

A tender cry suddenly broke the silence. A tiny rfolk, no longer than an arm’s length, swam out from one of the fissures and clung tightly to the rfolk in front of her. She appeared no older than three or four in human years, her cheeks soft and round, and her pair of sapphire-blue eyes sparkling with innocence and curiosity.

She pressed herself against the rfolk, listening to their chaotic heartbeat. Giggling, she exclaid in a clear, sweet voice, “Brother! Brother!”

Overco with emotion, the rfolk was left speechless. After a long pause, they managed to stamr a response. “Brother’s here, brother’s here!”

“Brother, no cry. Sad,” the little rfolk murmured, her words lting the last fragnts of the rfolk’s guarded heart.

Due to his unique physique, the rfolk couldn’t shed tears even in his saddest monts. No one had ever told him not to cry—until now.

This was his kin. His sister.

After reveling in the joy of new life, the rfolk, Yu Zhao, and Ji Han Zhou turned to another pressing matter: helping Xuan Ling, the rfolk who was now reduced to just a heart, to regain his physical body.

The rfolk had never encountered such a predicant before. However, their treasure vault contained many rare and precious items. With Yu Zhao’s awakened mory of the Water Spirit Jade, she possessed an enhanced sensitivity to all things water-related. Together, they decided to give it a try.

The restoration process lasted a full month, fraught with dozens of failures. Even Xuan Ling himself lost hope at one point, but Yu Zhao’s determination and the companionship of his little sister compelled him to persist.

Their efforts were just beginning to bear fruit…

Afterwards, the treasure vault of the rfolk Tribe was left half-empty, but their efforts were a success.

Xuan Ling reconstructed his physical body, claiming that it was now more resilient than ever. Recovered, he embarked on a bittersweet yet joyous life as a nurturing father.

The elder of the rfolk Tribe had hidden the unhatched rfolk Eggs in the Undersea Palace, not out of reluctance to hatch them but because the process required specific conditions. The most crucial condition was that the eggs had to be incubated inside the rfolk Incubation Pouch, which had long degenerated due to the elder’s advanced age, making the task impossible for him.

In the anti, the unhatched eggs required a special spell to sustain their vitality, a technique only the elder could perform. This created a dilemma: while the elder could keep the eggs alive, he could not hatch them. If he passed away, the remaining eggs would perish with him. This was why, upon discovering that Yu Zhao was the only hope for their tribe’s survival, he unhesitatingly chose to sacrifice himself for her. He understood that he could not ensure the tribe’s continuation and could only gamble for Heaven’s rcy.

As for Xuan Ling’s younger sister, the miracle child who hatched naturally without the aid of an adult rfolk, she was a phenonon, a wonder of the rfolk Tribe.

…

“Yu Zhao, safe travels,” said Xuan Ling.

“Safe travels, Sister, safe travels,” echoed the little rfolk girl.

On the ship, Yu Zhao stood on the deck, waving toward the two figures in the water, one large and one small. “Go back now. The next ti I visit the Southern Abyss, I’ll make sure to see you again.”

“We’ll be waiting,” Xuan Ling replied. Then, as if suddenly recalling sothing, he added, “You’re welco to visit too, Ji Han Zhou.”

Ji Han Zhou: “Heh.”

Don’t think I didn’t notice you forgot just now!

Xuan Ling gave an awkward smile. He truly hadn’t ant it. Ji Han Zhou had been of great help in the Undersea Palace.

However, for so reason, despite Ji Han Zhou’s spirited and striking deanor when alone, his presence seed to vanish whenever he stood next to Yu Zhao. People instinctively overlooked him.

After so thought, Xuan Ling could only attribute this phenonon to Yu Zhao’s commanding aura, which overshadowed everything around her.

Jokes aside, Ji Han Zhou bade a serious farewell to Xuan Ling and the young rfolk girl. After exchanging a few more sentintal words, Yu Zhao steered the ship toward the shore.

The little rfolk girl, holding onto Xuan Ling’s arm, still didn’t understand what parting ant. She curiously asked her brother, “Sister… co back… when?”

Xuan Ling gently stroked her soft hair, his gaze tender. “Soon.”

The world was vast, and they were destined to et again.

…

“Fairy Ye, this is Yin Flower Honey, a specialty of the Marsh Forest. When consud, it not only enhances beauty but also imbues the body with a unique fragrance. I spent nearly half a year in the Marsh Forest gathering just this small jar. It’s a token of my appreciation; please accept it.”

“Yin Flower Honey is nothing. I have here a Vital Energy Restoration Pill, a holy grail for nourishing and invigorating the body. The effects are imdiate, and it’s more suitable for Fairy Ye’s needs.”

“Fairy Ye, have a look at this treasure…”

…

When Su Ming returned to the inn, he found his little junior sister surrounded by a crowd three layers deep. His eyebrows furrowed as he stepped forward, grabbing two of them and flinging them aside.

“What are you all doing? Harassing my little junior sister? Do you have a death wish?”
