But Lan Junsi's waterfall-like black hair turned white in an instant, her tight skin became as old and lifeless as if the moisture had been drained away. The girl in Xiang Zongyin's arms seemed less like a young maiden and more terrifyingly like a skeleton.
Even Lan Junsi's dazzling light purple mermaid tail had wilted.
Apart from holding Lan Junsi, Xiang Zongyin could do nothing. Although Xiang Zongyin was immensely capable, he couldn't change the brutal reality before him!
Zhong Lingling then realized, the way Lan Junsi said she would save Xiang Yimo was by giving her own inner core to Xiang Yimo.
She had thought Lan Junsi had some special medicine to revive Xiang Yimo, but it turns out she was saving her son with her very own life.
A pure mermaid and a half-mermaid are different. A half-mermaid can force out the inner core and return to a normal human due to the human genes. However, a pure mermaid has no human genes; losing the inner core is a dead end!
