Seeing four maidservants kneel before him, Austin couldn't bear to lift his Lightning Sword.
The more he encountered ruthless opponents, the more he could get brutal too. However, in that situation, he seemed to be
softening like a kitten's fur.
Austin kept staring at those four delicate and charming maidservants. Finally the murderous intentions gradually faded away after
he hesitated for a while.
He then put away the Lightning Sword in his Space Ring.
The maidservants suddenly heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Austin's action.
"Where are you from?" Austin asked.
"We cfrom the deep ocean in the Middle World Waters," one of the maidservants hurriedly answered.
They were still quite obviously frightened.
"Oh?
The deep ocean in the Middle World Waters?"
Austin gazed at them blankly for a moment. Their hometown was exactly his destination.
In all honesty, he didn't expect it to be at the bottom of the sea in the Middle World Waters.
"You said you are not our kind. What does that mean? You're not human beings?" Austin asked, puzzled.
Their eyes were dreamy blue, quite distinct from the others.
But apart from their eyes, they shared the scharacteristic with ordinary human beings.
Austin felt dubious as a sense of queerness enveloped the maidens.
"Young hero, to tell you the truth, we are actually mermaids."
That maidservant quickly responded, knowing that their lives were at the mercy of Austin.
She dared not to conceal anything; otherwise, they'd be in fatal danger.
"Mermaids?" Austin curiously asked in great surprise.
The image of a beauty with a long tail and damp hair crept into his mind.
‘Does this kind of creature really exist?" Austin pondered.
"Young hero, | will show you my natural body."
Seeing how Austin was full of apprehension, that maidservant thought he didn't believe her words.

Her exquisite and delicate body did a somersault in the air, and a ring of queer blue light radiated.
The lower part of her body turned into an exquisite fishtail.
Her torso, up to her head, constituted a charming beauty. Yet everything else down was a long fishtail filled with scales.
Austin couldn't move for a second. He was still grasping the reality at the moment.
With his spiritual sense, he knew the strange body of the mermaid was real instead of skind of an illusion.
No form of illusion can deceive Austin's spiritual sense.
It seemed the maidservant was telling the truth after all.
After a moment, that maidservant did another somersault and turned her body back to that of a human's.
"Arise first," Austin instructed the maidservants.
Knowing Austin had abandoned the intention of killing them, the four maidservants kowtowed a few times before they stood up.
"Thanks a million for not killing us, young hero."
Happiness was etched on their faces as they tasted their freedom. . .
"If you are from the Middle World Waters, how did you get captured by Ronald and reduced to slaves?" Austin asked in curiosity.
He had been meaning to ask that question. After all, it was really baffling how such sea creatures could be captured by a human.
"Well, it's a long story, young hero.
We, members of the mermaid tribe, mainly live at the bottom of the Middle World Waters.
We prefer to keep ourselves in no contact from the mainland world.
However, we, mermaids have a characteristic of transforming into a normal human being once we reach a certain level of
cultivation.
Our mermaid tails will vanish and be transformed into a set of normal feet and legs.
The sexual intercourse between a man and a mermaid, who transformed into a woman, would make the vital energy of the former
purer. He could accelerate a breakthrough in his cultivation.
Therefore human men always love to capture mermaid women and keep them as sex slaves to boost their cultivation process.
For us four sisters, we have been living at the bottom of the Middle World Waters since we were young and the outside world had
always had an intense appeal to us.
One day, we sneaked out to the surface of the sea and got captured by human warriors.
Then they trafficked us to the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom where we were bought by Ronald."
Austin now finally understood what they had been through.
"Young hero, you are a noble and righteous man. We would like to serve you and help you boost your cultivation process if it
pleases you."
That maidservant raised her head and nervously nibbled on her red lips.
"You've save our lives. We are very pleased to submit ourselves to serve you if you don't mind we're not virgins anymore, young
hero,"
the maidservant continued to pursue Austin.
"You must never say this.
I have no interest in that."
Austin was startled and waved his hand repeatedly. Yet, even so, his pinkish cheeks revealed that he was flustered. . .
"Well, | am bound for the Middle World Waters. You shall stay withfirst.
You can go honce | take you back to the Middle World Waters,"
Austin, by any means, meant what he said. He was willing to accompany the maidens to ensure their safety. After all, he was
headed to the sdestination too.
"Really, young hero?
We will never forget your great kindness. You have our eternal gratitude!"
Hearing Austin's words, the four maidservants were all overjoyed.
Once again, they knelt down and bowed several times to Austin.
It was such a pity that they were reduced to sex slaves in the human world. Not to mention, they had been away from hfor a
long time; the maidens certainly missed their hometown.
But it would be a long and rough journey from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom to the Middle World Waters.
Although they had been saved by Austin, it was still no guarantee that they would be totally safe until they got back home.
After all, as mermaid women with an exquisite and ethereal beauty, they were still remarkably alluring to men.
Those perverted men could still try and capture them again for their own sexual satisfaction and cultivation base.
It would be a difficult journey if they tried to go back to the Middle World Waters alone.
That was the reason why they offered to serve Austin on their own initiatives.
It would be better to serve the kind-hearted young man who saved them than any other devious human warrior.
Moreover, they didn't feel any hint of evil in Austin.
If more, he was easy to get along with and far better than Ronald.

Hearing that he would send them back to the Middle World Waters, they were delighted with such unexpected luck.
"Don't do this. Please arise,"
Austin uttered when he saw the maidens on their knees once more.
"I will leave you here if you still insist on kowtowing."
He was obviously bothered with how they treated him like he was skind of royalty.
The maidservants immediately stood their feet.
"Well, first, | will send you to a place where you can stay safe for the tbeing.
| will bring you back once we have reached the Middle World Waters,"
Austin gave them a brief explanation before he teleported them into his City. . .
After a while, Austin descended to the ground and watched the corpse of Ronald.
With a strand of vital energy force, Austin sucked Ronald's Space Ring and put it away.
Then, he raised his hand, and a pale golden flfell on Ronald's corpse.
In an instant, the flflared up and burnt Ronald's corpse to ashes.
He made sure that no evidence of killing would remain on that part of the forest or else, he would be in great trouble soon enough.
After cleaning up the scene, Austin touched on the ground and soared up to the capital.
Fifteen minutes later, he had returned to the capital.
He found a tavern on a remote street and checked in.
He decided to stay for five days and rest to regenerate his energy. After that, he would be bound for the Middle World Waters.
Austin decided to refine a batch of elixirs for preparation.
At the stime, he needed to cultivate and improve his strength.
More notably, he had to practice the Golden Sun Scripture, which had nine levels available.
And among those nine levels, he had just reached the first one.
Austin directly teleported himself into the City right after entering his chamber.
The City then turned into a grain of sand that landed in the corner of the room he booked.
Once entirely teleported, Austin appeared on a street in the City.
He waved his hand, and a big pile of elixirs landed beside him.
Subsequently, he took out the purple-brown herbal pot and placed it before him.
After making sure that everything was settled and prepared, Austin began the elixir refining process.
