Chapter 490: Chapter 491: Old Affairs 28
Even if the young female was unwilling, she couldn’t just watch as her tribe was slaughtered.
Staring defiantly, she asked, "If I hand over the cub to you, you will let us go?"
Hai Qin nodded, "Yes! Take me to the cub!"
The young female bit her bottom lip, finally making up her mind. "Then follow me."
Hai Qin approached Ajue with Aqi, his voice soft, "Sister, I’ll go get the cub. Let’s leave Ajue here to protect you. I’ll be back soon, okay?"
Aqi seemed to have stabilized a lot whether because of the cub or not. She urgently said, "Bring the cub back soon. Sister is waiting for you!"
Hai Qin nodded. He glanced at Ajue, said nothing, patted his shoulder, all was understood without words.
Following the young female to a secluded cave in the tribe, the outside was overgrown with weeds and scattered stones. It looked abandoned. n𝚘vp𝚞𝚋.com
Hai Qin didn’t ask any questions. He closely followed the young female into the cave. With his excellent eyesight, he noticed a beast skin bag put on a stone inside the cave immediately.
He quickly went up to inspect and found a small cub. A warm sense of familiarity and that familiar Qi made him understand that this was a mermaid cub with Aqi’s bloodline, a mermaid cub!
The cub’s eyes were tightly shut; its breathing was somewhat weak but still strong.
Hai Qin cautiously picked up the cub, finally allowing a smile to appear on his face.
He looked at the young female and sincerely said, "Thank you!"
The young female snorted coldly as she turned and left, completely ignoring him!
Hai Qin wasn’t annoyed. His heart was full of the small cub in his hands at this moment. Because the cub was too small and soft, he did not dare to use too much force, holding it delicately as he moved forward.
The little cub was small and well-behaved, sleeping quietly, not realizing that it had been moved.
Hai Qin spotted Aqi from afar and grinned. Lifting up the cub in his hands, he declared, "Sister, your cub! It looks just like you!"
Aqi also smiled. Despite her injuries making her movement slow, she staggered towards him.
Seeing this, Hai Qin speeded up a bit.
With his mind on Aqi and the cub in his hands, he did not notice that the chief of the Sky Swallowing Python Clan bound to a stake opened his eyes as he passed.
"Sister, look. Here is your cub!"
Aqi was too weak to hold up and let Hai Qin continue to hold the cub. She smiled with a face full of love and gently bent down to kiss the cub’s cheek.
She was about to say something to Hai Qin with a smile on her face when she suddenly caught sight of the chief of the Sky Swallowing Python Clan, who was surrounded by flames, raising his head up with a dark look on his face.
The moment their eyes met, the chief of the Sky Swallowing Python Clan suddenly laughed. His lips moved like he was saying, "Go to hell..."
Her pupils slightly dilated, Aqi, without thinking, used up all her strength to push away Hai Qin.
She would not have been able to push him away, but Hai Qin was caught off guard. The cub in his hands almost flew out; to stabilize the cub, he had to bend his waist sideways.
In a twinkling of an eye, there came a swooshing sound, followed by a "pu-chi" sound. It was the sound of a sharp weapon penetrating the body.
Hai Qin’s body stiffened, and he dared not move.
