Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Mirror God, Master of Fear

Chapter 118 Mermaid Revival
On December 25th, Xiaoyu had a very special birthday. Instead of going out, she had a meal with her father's antique shop, the four of them, and Blake.

The menu wasn't very extensive; it looked like Blake's staff meal.

But everyone was still quite happy.

The oppressive aura emanating from Zhou Lan was so intense that even now, they still have a feeling of 'surviving'.

After this day, Xiaoyu will be twelve years old, and she will be a little taller than she was a year ago.

For her, there was both good news and bad news.

The good news is that the start of the school year has been postponed.

The bad news is that all entertainment venues are closed.

Aside from studying runes in the antique shop or going out to help with disaster relief, she had no other entertainment.

During this period, the entire human race was in the process of post-disaster reconstruction, and a somber atmosphere permeated the air.

In this atmosphere, the millennium still passed.

The world truly returned to peace. Of course, that was probably because at the last moment, my father had cleaned up all the demons within the human realm, so that no monsters or demons were causing trouble when the disaster struck.

However, this was after the infrastructure and network facilities were restored.

The internet descended into a frenzy of venting and constant questioning.

After all, the Quanzhen Sect's gates have been almost worn down recently; those seventeen characters have earned them a great deal of prestige.

Those seventeen words tore away the last veil of pretense.

Despite the secrecy surrounding it, Blue Star eventually revealed the existence of the extraordinary.

The Dawn Academy and several other schools that the government quickly established were also announced.

"That's right, Dad. We'd like to invite you to become the headmaster of the Arcane Magic Academy."

Seeing his father's displeasure, Blake said in a low voice, "You can refuse."

The old man nodded: "The old man refuses."

Blake said with great 'disappointment', "That's a real shame. I hope you'll consider it."

As he spoke, Blake exhaled.

He knew how powerful his father was; the Nightmare Ship was sealed away just like that back then, and it seemed that this global disaster was also sealed away by his father.

Such a powerful mage, his relationship with his father is the most important thing.

Otherwise, why would he promote him while simultaneously asking me to persuade my father?
Once you understand this point, then from a pragmatic perspective, it's not difficult to choose between 'making Dad unhappy, ultimately failing to persuade him, and both sides becoming worse off' and 'persuading Dad happily, with the relationship remaining unchanged or even improving'.

"Then I've completed my mission, Dad. I'll head back now. The Black Hand organization is still quite rampant lately."

Blake gritted his teeth: "[Barça Chang], this black hand boss, is very cunning. They have recovered from the disaster and have started to profit from it."

"Go."

The old man's tone was somewhat kind, after all, Blake's performance was very good, and he was good in every aspect. The old man still liked this kid quite a bit.

As soon as Blake turned around, he heard an old voice behind him: "There's one more thing. This is a talisman that Xiaoyu drew for you. It can keep you safe."

"really?"

Blake turned around in surprise and took the amulet, which felt like parchment.

He stroked it, unable to hide his pleasure, and said, "Please thank Xiaoyu for me, and tell her that I like it very much."

"Dad will."

"Old Goat!"

The old man's faint smile vanished as he looked at a miniature version of Tru. This 'Truru' had a face full of wrinkles, wore a chestnut coat, had her hair in a bun, and was an old woman with a mole under her left eye.

Her face showed some dissatisfaction and a hint of disgust: "We're all out helping out, why are you the only one left to guard your junk and not do any work?"

"Ms. Spider, if you can't read, have your child tell you that this antique shop isn't a junk shop. And another thing, if Dad doesn't run an antique shop, what will Tru eat? The northwest wind?"

"Ha, I told him from the beginning that it would be better to follow Mr. Valon, but he insisted on coming to this run-down shop as an apprentice. With a master like you."

"Oh my god~ you're just..."

Seeing that things were not going well, Blake immediately turned around and left the antique shop.

He wiped away imaginary sweat from his bald head, got into an ordinary Volkswagen, looked at the gloomy expressions on people's faces on the street, and sighed deeply.

The lady who just arrived was there on New Year's Day; she came almost as soon as some airports in certain areas reopened.

This is Tru's mother. She and her father seem to be at odds from the start. They argue whenever they meet. If you don't hurry, you might become their gossip relay.

For example, Blake appears between the two and tells the old goat: ***.

Or: Hey Black, tell that Spider Woman...
In short, you shouldn't stay between them for too long.

"Sheriff."

A police officer carefully handed over a high-tech tablet.

Blake took the papers, one of which belonged to a plump, blond-haired, blue-eyed old man who looked at him kindly and asked, "How did things go?"

“He doesn’t want to,” Blake said without hiding anything.

"That"

"If my information is correct, this disaster was resolved by Master Chen, right? I think it's best not to disturb a master who can combat natural disasters. Let him live the way he wants. What do you think?"

The fat man stared at Blake for a while, then nodded helplessly: "You're right, let's leave it at that for now."

Blake disconnected the communication and looked thoughtfully at the outside world. The guy who used to treat him like a grandson seemed to be becoming more and more tolerant of him now.

Blake certainly knew why.

I heard that many mage academies have recently opened, that's great.

But before a great mage appears in these schools, the old man is indispensable.

"Sheriff, there's also this."

Blake took another tablet, looked at the locations of Barcelona's regular activities, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Assemble. Proceed with the fifth arrest." "Yes, sir!"

Blake exited the page and looked at a few pinned news items.

Finally, I stared blankly at a headline: "Famous philanthropist Vallon donates to most countries around the world."
It seems he has completely lost his chance to catch Valmont.
Whoosh~ Bang~
Time passed quickly, and the New Year's bells rang in the Dragon Kingdom.

The activity of dark energy in the world reached its peak, and then gradually subsided.

The time that truly belonged to the Holy Lord has passed. According to the original trajectory, today is the day the Holy Lord will be resurrected from the stone statue.

But now everything has changed.

Lin Luo seemed to sense something, looked up, and then looked down.

His destiny has increased even more.

It seems to be replacing something.

However, compared to the destiny bestowed upon his father and Zhou Lan, Lin Luo was still far behind, so he didn't care much about it.

Even now, he possesses less of the Fate attribute than the Demon Child.

"My lord, they're coming!"

As Tian Xin's voice rang out, Lin Luo's gaze sharpened, and he looked down with some anticipation.

In the deep sea, a group of dolphins were churning in apparent agony.

They were terrified; this birth was quite different from before.

This time it was many times more painful, and there was none of the smooth feeling like excretion I had before.

The two mirror spirits observed carefully, and also became somewhat nervous.

After all, this is the first resurgence of a race, so it's still something to be very concerned about.

The positive energy of heaven and earth is constantly gathering, blessing and transforming this group of dolphins.

As one of the chosen ones of the dark energy, Lin Luo could clearly see that the righteous energy was trying to change some things, such as fate or other ethereal dimensions.

It seems to be an attempt to distinguish between the mermaids of today and those of the past, or perhaps to erase the last trace of the old days.

As the time goes.

Under the gaze of two mirror gods.

at last.

A tiny, palm-sized creature with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a dolphin, looking both adorable and somewhat bizarre, began to wander around.

The dolphin sensed that its baby had been born; it turned its head and was immediately startled.

Looking somewhat bewildered at what was approaching it, it couldn't help but swim back a short distance.

Similar symptoms appeared in other dolphins around them.

Looking at this group of children who were completely different from them, they were first filled with fear and confusion, and then showed some aggression.

Because in their perception, these things give them a faint sense of threat.

It was like facing a natural enemy.

This led them to believe that the monsters had eaten their children.

Some dolphins showed a hint of hatred in their eyes, indicating a tendency to attack.

But when the two evil phantoms appeared, they fled in terror, without any thought of stopping to protect the child.

After all, that sense of threat had transformed the confused familial affection into hatred that led to the hunting of children.

One's own child would not threaten them.

Lin Luo observed the mermaid up close. The mermaid was indeed a mermaid; even the baby mermaid gave him a feeling of 'being very beautiful'.

Seemingly sensing their mother's departure, the mermaids began to emit a soft, whimpering sound.

These sound waves are somewhat like dolphin sounds, but they give people a more 'pleasant' feeling.

Lin Luo listened for a while, a smile unconsciously appearing on his face. No wonder everyone says the mermaid's singing voice is unparalleled in the world.
"From now on, you can feed them and leave after they are out of the infancy stage."

"Okay." Tian Xin nodded, looked at the little ones, raised his hand, and produced some very small milk bottles, which he put directly into their mouths.

Mermaids also need to drink breast milk, after all, mermaids have this function.

So even though cow's milk is just ordinary breast milk, it can still help with the transition.

At most, it will cause these mermaids to suffer from some malnutrition, but at least they won't die.

After they pass through the initial few months and reach the infancy stage, they can start eating solid food, and then they won't need to be taken care of anymore.

After all, the mermaid's passive ability, which grants her an initial affinity bonus of 90% to marine creatures, allows her to thrive in the sea.

Lin Luo sensed the black energy, the righteous energy, and the destiny.

After much deliberation, he ultimately decided to revive the succubus first.

After all, it's quite difficult for land-based races to be revived these days; let's just revive whichever vessel we find.
Most importantly, the effects of the Cup of Life will soon wear off, and Valon can then increase his influence over American politicians.

At that time, some land can be allocated from remote areas of America for the development of those races with strong combat capabilities.

With a slight sigh, Lin Luo returned to the castle. Before he could even choose a vessel, the black energy and righteous energy trembled.

Immediately afterwards, the fluctuations from Panku Box spread throughout the entire Blue Star.

At this moment, almost all the superhumans who could sense this fluctuation broke through their defenses.

So fast! It's not even January yet.
Those collapsed buildings haven't even been rebuilt yet, and many people are still sleeping on the ruins. How can there be so many disasters?

　There's one more chapter to read during the day; let's organize the plot lines for the next demon.

　　Hehe, also, I'm shamelessly asking for some votes!
