Chapter 226: Concentrated Antidote

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After the failed mermaid protest, the empire intensified its surveillance over the mermaids. They were tightly controlled, unable to move freely without permission. Even the mermaids held by the royal family and nobles faced strict supervision to prevent any further uprisings.

Due to this increased monitoring, Olift and the others managed to reach Planet

Golden Rice before martial law was imposed, allowing them to reunite with Zhou Ling and the rest of the group.

In order to ensure everyone’s safety, Davies returned home and assisted in altering their appearances.

Witnessing Loya’s actions during the protest, Olift and Lu Fei seethed with anger.

Expressing his frustration to Zhou Ling, Olift exclaimed, “If only we could rescue Liao Ning. Her seafood porridge could help the mermaids break free from the control of the loyalty potion.”

Zhou Ling was well aware of this, but Zhou Ye sent a message advising them to be patient. The rebel army was planning their next move, and amidst the chaos, there might be an opportunity to rescue Liao Ning. They had no choice but to wait.

However, Lu Fei and Mika were astonished to hear about the potential antidote derived from ancient delicacies.

Mika, in particular, found it hard to believe. “It’s impossible. Elven potions can only be concocted by experienced elves and require the infusion of elven magic. Moreover, the ingredients for the antidote are exceedingly rare. How could ancient delicacies possibly counteract their effects?”

Lu Fei concurred, his experiences as a plaything of the nobility reinforcing his skepticism. He had never come across such a possibility and knew of many who, unable to endure the torture and control, opted for suicide instead.

Olift patiently shared his own experiences, attempting to alleviate their doubts. Just then, a message from Zhou Ye arrived.

[The rebel army has decided to utilize Liao Nings antidote to rally the merfolk for rebellion. Exercise caution and await an opportunity to rescue Liao Ning.]

Upon reading the message, Mika had no choice but to accept the truth. If Li Xian had made the decision to employ the antidote as a means to enlist the support of the merfolk, it was certain that Liao Ning possessed the formula for the antidote.

“This is incredible. Ancient delicacies cracking the ancient elven potion?” Mika expressed her confusion.

Olift, however, wore a proud expression. “Liao Ning is an extraordinary individual. You’ll understand once you meet her. She’s capable of creating miracles.”

Nevertheless, Zhou Ling furrowed his brow. After pondering for a moment, he turned to Davies and asked, “Can you use your abilities to create an illusion and make me appear as a mermaid?”

Davies nodded confidently. “With your appearance, it shouldn’t be a problem. And with my illusion abilities, we can easily pull it off.”

In Davies’ eyes, even if Zhou Ling wasn’t a real mermaid, he possessed the allure and charm of one, though his demeanor was somewhat reserved.

Olift couldn’t help but chuckle, covering his mouth. Seeing Zhou Ling’s cold gaze, he quickly added, “Do you want to join the mermaid team and save Liao Ning? Count me in too!”

“Me too! I have many mermaid relatives serving in the army. I can be of assistance!” Lu Fei chimed in eagerly.

Considering the uncertain future, Zhou Ling nodded. “But all of you must follow orders and refrain from acting independently.”

Once the group agreed on the plan, they noticed a news release by the rebel army on the internet.

“The rebel army will distribute a substantial quantity of Loyalty Potion antidotes. Joining them grants you free access to the antidote. The rebel army eagerly awaits your participation!”

The news content was brief, accompanied by a photo taken in the laboratory featuring Liao Ning and a few researchers.

In reality, Liao Ning was preparing soup in the lab. Although she had switched from ordinary kitchen utensils to various laboratory equipment, it didn’t compromise the essence of the ancient delicacies. Moreover, through condensing the function, the concentration of the detoxifying components from the golden clams had significantly increased. Indeed, a small cup of the soup could nullify the effects of the loyalty potion.

Liao Ning programmed the system and carefully poured the clam fish soup into exquisite cups, sealing them tightly. She had also borrowed a thick soup-making method from the apocalyptic world, never expecting it to have practical applications in this realm.

Tina held one of the small antidote cups in her hand, unable to contain her awe. “Miss Liao, you’re truly a genius!”

Blushing slightly, Liao Ning brushed her bangs aside and asked, “But will there really be mermaids coming tomorrow? I heard that the empire has sealed off the entrance. Do the mermaids still have a chance?”

Li Xian approached from behind and spoke with unwavering confidence, “Fear not, the merfolk will undoubtedly rebel the day after tomorrow. The empire’s army is no match for their strength and determination..”
