Chapter – 70
Come Back to Atlantis With Me
Li Mu Jin’s gaze fell on him. His eyes were sharp and full of contempt, nothing like how an older brother should look at his younger brother.
“Su Han, maybe I should just kill you and throw you into the sea to feed the fish.”
He pulled Li Qingqing into his arms and looked at Su Han with open provocation.
Su Han rushed forward, trying to fight him with brute force. But the frost around his body injured him all over. He fell heavily to the ground.
Li Qingqing struggled hard in his arms, pounding her fists against his shoulders.
“Let me go!”
But he immediately grabbed her hands tightly. There was a strange emotion in his eyes.
“Why are you helping him instead of me?”
【Host, here comes another one with a brain problem. Just kick him away already!】
Hearing the system, Li Qingqing tried to kick him away, but he had already expected it.
His right leg forced its way between her legs and pressed her down firmly.
The accidental touch made Li Qingqing both ashamed and angry. She showed her sharp teeth and bit hard into Li Mu Jin’s arm.
Taking advantage of the moment he felt pain, she ran out at once, pulling Su Han—who was still lying on the ground—along with her.
【Su Han is hopeless.】
Li Qingqing dragged Su Han and ran wildly toward the forest exit. “Stop talking nonsense and think about what to do now!”
Su Han thought she was talking to him and asked in confusion, “I didn’t say anything…”
The more Li Qingqing looked at him, the angrier she became. “I knew you were useless. I didn’t expect you to be this useless.”
Su Han sighed. The reason he was so useless now was because of A Jiao.
When a mermaid is born, they carry a Jiao Pearl inside their body. The Jiao Pearl is the source of all their powers and abilities.
After A Jiao came out of the Guixu Sea Eye, he took Su Han’s Jiao Pearl away.
Thinking of this, Su Han suddenly stopped.
Li Qingqing, who had been pulling him forward, immediately turned back. “What are you doing? Are you waiting for him to come and kill you?”
“I have to go back to him. My Jiao Pearl is still with him.”
At first, he thought he owed A Jiao, so it was fine to give him the pearl.
But now A Jiao was chasing him to kill him. Without the Jiao Pearl, he had no power.
He couldn’t even protect the person he wanted to protect.
It would be better to die than to be called useless.
“Jiao Pearl?” Li Qingqing had never heard of it.
Su Han didn’t explain. He turned around and ran back.
“Come back! You’ve stayed in the sea so long your brain is full of water!”
She was about to chase after him when the system spoke again.
【Host, don’t go. I have a bad feeling. If you go back this time, something terrible will happen.】
“Something terrible? It’s already terrible! My mission target is rushing to die!”
Ignoring everything else, Li Qingqing ran after him.
When she arrived, Su Han was already lying on the ground. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. He had lost consciousness.
The culprit, Li Mu Jin, stood there, looking harmless as he stared at her.
“I both hoped you would come back… and hoped you wouldn’t.”
As he spoke, he walked toward Li Qingqing step by step.
【It’s over. You’ve been loved by a lunatic.】
【Is he self-brainwashing himself?】
Hearing the system, Li Qingqing felt even more afraid and staggered back a few steps.
“Come back to Atlantis with me. I want to return there with you.”
At this moment, Li Qingqing felt that Su Han’s “brain full of water” must be a family disease, passed down in their genes.
Because it was obvious that Li Mu Jin’s brain was also full of water.
“Big brother, I’m a Silver Tiger. Are you trying to drown me by taking me into the sea?”
But Li Mu Jin could sense the water-element ability inside her body. “You have water abilities. How could you drown in the water?”
Li Qingqing looked at Su Han. His chest was still rising and falling—he should still be alive.
“Fine. But you have to let Su Han go.”
She cursed the system a hundred times in her heart.
If she made such a big sacrifice and Su Han’s favorability still didn’t increase, she would just give up the mission.
She didn’t know what the punishment for giving up would be, but she truly couldn’t stand this mission anymore.
Two brothers—one stupid, one crazy.
Compared to them, her five beast husbands were simply angels on earth.
Seeing her agree, Li Mu Jin immediately locked her tightly in his arms, afraid she might run away.
—
On the other side, the five beast husbands had waited a long time, but Li Qingqing still hadn’t returned.
Su Han had said he would check the situation. But he hadn’t come back either.
“Why haven’t they come back? Did something happen?” Chi Lin frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart.
Xiao Ziye was also worried. His heart beat faster and faster. A strange force inside him seemed to be warning him.
Bai Yuan could no longer sit still. He stood up. “I’m going to find her!”
“I’m going too!” Feng Hao had felt Su Han’s oppressive aura before. Now he only regretted not going with her.
Ling Mo also stood up immediately. The five of them hurried toward the forest.
When they arrived, they only saw the injured Su Han. There were clear signs of a fight all around, but Li Mu Jin and Li Qingqing were nowhere to be seen.
“Where is she?”
“Qingqing!”
“Qingqing!”
They searched anxiously.
Seeing Su Han lying on the ground, Xiao Ziye was furious. He kicked him hard.
“Dead mermaid! Where is our Qingqing?”
But Su Han was clearly unconscious and showed no sign of waking.
Seeing Xiao Ziye about to vent his anger again, Ling Mo quickly stopped him. “He’s the only one who knows what happened. Let’s take him to the witch doctor first. We’ll decide after he wakes up.”
Xiao Ziye said nothing. He kicked Su Han again, as if finally releasing some anger. “Wake him up quickly!”
Seeing him kick, Feng Hao felt it would be unfair not to kick too. So he also stepped forward and gave Su Han a kick.
Chi Lin blocked in front of Su Han. “If you kick him to death, how will we find Qingqing?”
As they spoke, Ling Mo and Bai Yuan had already lifted Su Han and carried him toward the witch doctor’s cave.
—
The witch doctor frowned when he saw the severely injured and unconscious Su Han. “Where did you find this mermaid?”
It was his first time treating a mermaid, and he wasn’t very skilled at it.
“Oh my, why are there so many people here today?”
Li Yue pulled Chi Chenyuan and peeked into the cave.
These days, they seemed to have returned to their youth—climbing trees, catching birds, diving into water to catch fish, often getting injured.
So they came to the witch doctor to get some medicine to apply whenever they got hurt.
When Li Yue saw Su Han lying there, she was surprised. “Where did this beautiful little mermaid come from?”
She hadn’t seen a mermaid in many years.
Mermaids rarely came ashore. Seeing his body covered in wounds, she guessed he must have encountered something serious.
Looking at the others, she asked, “What happened to him?”
Strangely, all five of them looked awkward and didn’t say a word.
Chi Chenyuan noticed that all five of his daughter’s beast husbands were there—but his daughter herself was missing.
“Where is Qingqing?”
