However, others in the hall looked as if they were looking at a demon beast being slaughtered or a fish.

Even if this mermaid had the same facial features and upper body as a human.

No one felt that what they had done was cruel.

The old emperor’s eyes overflowed with greed as he urged, “Hurry up, I want the pearl! Quickly find it for me.”

Legend had it that one could obtain eternal life after consuming a mermaid’s pearl.

To the old emperor, longevity was the greatest temptation.

Finally, when the imperial physician with the dagger made the eighteenth slash, he dug out a blood-red bead from the fishtail.

It was only the size of a thumb.

The imperial physician presented the pearl to the emperor.

Everyone in the hall burst into laughter and congratulations. fr eeweb novel

No one cared about the mermaid’s life.

Xiao Yuzhu had also unintentionally discovered Xiao Yue’s secret.

She never thought that Xiao Yue was not human!

When Xiao Yuzhu saw Xiao Yue’s true form as a mermaid, she was not afraid.

Instead, she immediately thought of the legend of mermaids. She did not need Xiao Hai to obtain what she wanted.

She only needed to offer the mermaid to the old emperor and let him pass the throne to her husband. When he took over, she would be conferred the title of empress and her son would be appointed as the crown prince.

She, Xiao Yuzhu, would become the most respected woman in the world.

“Xiao Yue, don’t blame me for being cruel. You’re not human to begin with. You’re the same as the fish and prawns in the sea. You were born to be slaughtered by us!’

The old emperor rubbed the pearl in his palm. His eyes were slightly red as he swallowed the pearl in front of everyone.

Then, he laughed crazily. “I’ve consumed the pearl and obtained longevity.

Hahahaha.”

When Yun Ran and the others rushed into the hall, they saw the bloody scene.

In the middle of the hall, there was blood in a wooden bucket. In the blood, there was a person who was on the verge of death.

Her mouth was sealed with a cloth, and her hands were tied with ropes. She lay naked in the blood.

That scene was unbearable to look at a second time.

What was even more hateful was that the other people in the hall were smiling and congratulating the old emperor.

They were celebrating that the old emperor had obtained the mermaid’s pearl.

“It’s Aunt Fragrant. What happened to her?”

The packrat had also come with Yun Ran and the others. After all, Yun Ran was worried about leaving her in Hundred Rivers.

Therefore, the little packrat also saw such a bloody scene and her eyes revealed confusion.

“Aunt Fragrant is injured. Mother will go and take a look. Be good and stay in Father’s arms. Don’t run around.’

The large bucket of blood and the smell of blood that filled the entire hall told Yun Ran and the others that they were a step too late!

Xiao Hai r s eyes were bloodshot as he strode towards the large wooden barrel. The imperial guards who tried to stop him were sent flying by his spiritual energy.

His hands trembled as he untied the cloth covering Xiao Yue’s eyes and mouth.

He called her name in a low voice, “Xiaoyue, I’m sorry I’m late!”

Xiao Yue slowly opened her eyes and saw him. She smiled gently at him. “Brother Dahai, it’s great that you’re here. It’s great that Xiaoyue can see you again before I die.”

Yun Ran had already walked to the side of the wooden barrel. Her gaze landed on Xiao Yue’s fishtail, and her expression darkened. “Second Uncle, she’s seriously injured. You have to carry her out quickly. Let’s find a place to treat her..
