"Yes. His nis Kurt, one of the Cyan Flood Dragon King's followers," Olivia replied.
Being a princess of the mermaid tribe, she knew many famous sea beasts in the Middle World Waters.
"A follower!" Austin muttered, surprise evident in his eyes.
‘The man in the red robe is really powerful. He is even stronger than an Astral Realm cultivator!
But he is just one of the Cyan Flood Dragon King's subordinates, ' he thought, furrowing his eyebrows.
‘That means that the Cyan Flood Dragon King has other subordinates who are much stronger than him.
And that's still not considering that the Cyan Flood Dragon King is much, much more formidable in terms of strength!"
Ever since Austin had reached the Middle World Waters, most sea beasts he had encountered had been weaker than a beast
master. Undoubtedly, Kurt was the most difficult adversary he had ever cupon in the region.
With that, Austin was finally able to form his opinion on the beasts in the Middle World Waters.
Before, he thought the beasts preferred to attack their enemies together, mainly because they were not strong enough.
But after all that he had been through, he had realized that this notion was wrong.
'It turns out | just haven't met the powerful sea beasts the Middle World Waters boasts of just yet, ' he said inwardly, chuckling.
"This area is heavily infested by lots of sea beasts. The chances for you to survive if you decide to fight your way out are very
slim,"
Austin said frankly.
‘These six mermaids are too weak. They surely wouldn't be able to handle several level-nine and level-ten sea beasts, not to
mention the beast masters, ' he remarked in his head, sighing.
The six girls shared knowing glances with one another.
Then, all of a sudden, they all knelt down before Austin at the stime.
"What... What are you girls doing?"
Austin asked, taken aback by the sudden gesture.
"Sir, we have a favor to ask," Olivia began, looking up at Austin's face.
"Only if you help us, might we be able to get to the Outer Third Ring waters,"
she said earnestly.
"You... you wantto escort you?"

Austin asked, a frown slowly creeping up his lips.
He was indeed feeling pity for the six mermaids, but he didn't want to get himself involved with the fights that were happening
amongst the sea beasts of the Middle World Waters.
Besides, he just chere to practice the Beast Energy-extracting Skill!
He was also planning to search for that ancient master's residence and take streasures there.
With these in mind, he greatly hesitated giving in to the girls’ pleas. 'l have so many things to do. | do not need to get sidetracked, '
he thought, breathing deeply.
"Sir, | know it's a rude request, but as you could see, we're all out of options.
My father and my whole tribe are stuck in the ancestor mausoleum.
We have also lost contract with our elder sister.
Please, sir, they are all counting on us to find people who would be able to rescue them. It would be impossible for us to finish this
task on our own.
Please, help our clan!
If you agree to do us this favor, | will give you three bottles of Magic Sea Water.
On top of that, we will serve you as your maids. | heard you men enjoy sleeping with..." Olivia's speech abruptly stopped, and
Austin noticed that her cheeks beccolored in crimson.
She was too shy to finish whatever she wanted to say.
Before Austin could make any kind of response, a thrilled, shaking voice rang out from his Soul Sea.
"No way! Magic Sea Water?
She really is talking about Magic Sea Water! Just say yes, you brat!"
The gnsounded inexplicably excited.
"Is Magic Sea Water skind of a valuable elixir?"
Austin asked the gnthrough his spiritual sense.
Since the gnknew more about precious natural resources than he did, his excitement about it made Austin wonder it was
skind of rare thing, a rare treasure. 'Why is this guy so excited?" he thought.
"Absolutely!" the gnreplied in a high-pitched voice. "Magic Sea Water is one of the three legendary magic liquids. It is super
rare.
It is said that magic liquid is a great life source and a mere drop of it contains enormous vital energy.
It would help anyone regrow lost limbs or organs! Heck, it would even resurrect the dead!
Well, you know—as long as your soul isn't destroyed, one drop of that Magic Sea Water would quickly restore your physical body
even if you only have a head or even an arm left.
That's how valuable it is, my friend,"
the gnreplied.
You have got to be kidding me!
This magic liquid can restore one's body even if he or she only has an arm left?
That means that this Magic Sea Water would be able to save one's life in grave danger!"
Austin thought, astonished by what he just learned about the Magic Sea Water.
To him, it really looked like that it was something that everyone would die to have, and he was here, being offered three bottles of
it.
"Besides, Magic Sea Water is also a precious elixir to all the diabolic beasts and cultivators who focuse on their bodily cultivation.
If we diabolic beasts drink the Magic Sea Water and absorb its life source, we would be able to achieve higher cultivation base ten
times faster than normal.
We would be able to have a breakthrough in a very short span of time,"
the gnadded, excitement evident in his voice.
Considering all of that, Austin had made his decision.
He coughed to break the silence. "I don't need you to serve me," he started, looking at the pleading mermaids.
"But do you really have the Magic Sea Water?"
he said, as he stared into Olivia's eyes.
"Yes, yes | have! A huge amount of Magic Sea Water is kept in our ancestral mausoleum.
It is heavily guarded, and is our clan's greatest secret!
Only my father and several elders know that we have it.
But my great uncle has tricked other species of sea beasts into helping him take my father's place by promising them Magic Sea
Water in return,”
Olivia responded.
"l see.

Magic Sea Water is so precious. Even if you agree to give it to me, your father might oppose it," Austin said.
He recalled what had happened to him in the Cyan Sect of the Elite Holy Kingdom.
The Holy Daughter of the Cyan Sect, Sissi, had promised to let him cultivate in the Vital Energy Cleansing Pool
if he escorted her back to the Full Moon City.
But, after doing his part, she backed out and Austin ended up making an enemy out of the Cyan Sect.
Until now he couldn't get over it.
He didn't want to make the smistake again.
"Sir, my sister and | each took two drops of Magic Sea Water with us.
Rest assured;
my father is a grateful person—
if you agree to help us save our tribe, he will give you Magic Sea Water," Olivia earnestly said, further convincing Austin to help
them.
To further prove her point, she and Lily each took out two jade bottles.
"When we three left, my father gave us each two drops of Magic Sea Water
so that we can keep ourselves well even if we get badly injured.
I will give you four drops of Magic Sea Water right now.
The very moment we arrive at our ancestral mausoleum, my father will give you the rest of the three bottles promised. You have
my word on that,"
Olivia said, handing four jade bottles to Austin.
Austin once again thought for a while, and finally, he had made his decision.
He took two jade bottles.
"You know what? | will take two drops first.
You can keep the rest in case of any emergencies," Austin said.
"Thank you very much, sir!"
Seeing him take the jade bottles, the six mermaids knew that Austin had already accepted their request.
They were overjoyed.
