Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xiao Hai became even more anxious when he couldn’t find Xiao Yue.
If Xiao Yue was really a mermaid, then did she go into hiding herself, or did someone discover her identity and capture her?
Seeing that he was in such a hurry to find Xiao Yue, Yun Ran asked the people from the 12 Divisions to help find her.
In the end, someone came back to report that Xiao Yue might have been taken away by Xiao Yuzhu.
Only then did everyone remember Xiao Yuzhu.
Even Yun Ran frowned and thought to herself, “That Xiao Yuzhu has never been good to Xiao Yue. Now that she’s taken Xiao Yue away, she probably doesn’t have any good intentions.”
How could Xiao Hai lie down peacefully? He put on his clothes and was about to go out to look for her.
Yun Ran and Bai Wan both advised him to recuperate well. They brought people to save Xiao Yue.
However, Xiao Hai did not listen to their advice at all. Ignoring the injuries on his body, he jumped onto the back of the flying demon beast.
“This is between me and them. You don’t have to interfere.’
Xiao Hai r s original intention was that Xiao Yuzhu was the Crown Princess
Consort. If MO Beiyuan or Bai Wan interfered, it might cause a conflict between the two countries.
However, Yun Ran and Bai Wan were worried about him going alone.
After all, the Spiritual Divine Monkey’s prophecy had yet to be broken, but Xiao Hai had suddenly suffered such a serious injury.
The group could only follow.
The flourishing Imperial City was not far from Haiyuan City.
The flying beast would arrive in half a day.
Xiao Hai went straight to the Crown Prince’s Residence when he arrived at the Prosperous City.
Xiao Hai and the Crown Prince had some friendship, and he was also the Crown Prince Consort’s brother. When the people from the Crown Prince’s Residence saw him, they did not stop him.
However, the Crown Prince and Crown Prince Consort were not in the residence at the moment.
Xiao Hai did not find Xiao Yuzhu, nor did he find Xiao Yue in the Crown Prince’s Residence.
The people from the 12 Divisions were the most well-informed. They spread the news of what happened in the palace to MO Beiyuan.
“Crown Prince and Crown Prince Consort caught a mermaid and offered him to Emperor Tong Tong. Emperor Tong Tong was overjoyed. Just now, they gathered together to dig out the mermaid’s pearl.”
Yun Ran and the others did not know that Xiao Yue was that merimaid, so their expressions did not change much.
However, when Xiao Hai heard the news from the secret guards, his eyes turned red. He was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Xiao Yuzhu! Xiao Yuzhu! If anything happens to Xiao Yue, 1 won’t let you go!’
Yun Ran seemed to understand something from the strange questions Xiao Hai had asked.
“Is Xiao Yue that mermaid? Xiao Yue is a mermaid?”
Xiao Hai knew that he could not hide it anymore. He could only nod at them and admit Xiao Yue’s identity as a merman.
“l only found out that Xiaoyue is a Mermaid when she saved me from the sea.” However, before he could figure it out, something happened to Xiao Yue.
At first, Yun Ran was worried that Xiao Yuzhu would take a fancy to Xiao Yue’s beauty and use her as a tool to exchange for some benefits, but she did not expect things to be more complicated than she had imagined.
Then what were they waiting for? They had to hurry up and rush to the palace to save her!
The group of people did not think too much about it and barged into the palace.
At this moment, the emperor, the crown prince, the crown prince consort, and the group of princes and grandsons gathered in the hall of the palace.
In the middle of the hall was a large wooden barrel with a person trapped in it.
No, to be precise, it was a mermaid.
Beside the wooden barrel stood a row of imperial physicians. One of the old imperial physicians held a dagger in his hand. The sharp dagger pierced into the merman’s fishtail, tearing off pieces of fish scales one after another.
Soon, the originally clear water was dyed blood-red.
Many young princes were frightened to tears when they saw this scene..
