Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 121 Slapping the Face of the Vicious Hostage (Part 13)

"Therefore, Elion, you must treat this god from the deep sea well!"

"We must never offend him, or it will bring disaster to our kingdom."

King Aes spoke earnestly to Elijah.

He patted Erian on the shoulder. "Also, he's not someone you can even dream of."

Ellian nodded silently. As the heir to the Kingdom of Es, he naturally understood the implications of this matter.

So he nodded solemnly to King Aes and said, "Father, rest assured, I will definitely treat Leng Yuexing well."

King Aes and Elion reached an agreement, but they overlooked Onin.

Aoning has made up his mind to get rid of Leng Yuexing.

After returning to his room, Onin summoned his servants and inquired about the events that had occurred at the palace that day.

After reporting on the events at the palace, the attendant looked at Onin with a hesitant expression.

Aoning noticed his hesitation. "What happened? Tell me, I won't blame you."

The attendant hesitantly revealed today's discovery.

It turned out that they had many servants following the ship to go fishing at sea today, and they caught a creature with a human body and a fish tail, like the legendary mermaid.

The mermaid could not only speak their language, but also seemed to possess a certain level of intelligence, appearing to be a sentient being.

When the servant talked about the mermaid, he had a dreamy expression on his face, as if he would be immersed in the mermaid's appearance just by thinking about it.

Upon hearing this, Aoning jumped to his feet and exclaimed incredulously, "Are you serious?"

“Absolutely true!” the attendant said with certainty. “That mermaid is currently being kept in a secret base.”

"You said that the mermaid's skin seemed to shimmer in the sunlight?" Oning asked incredulously.

"Yes, it looks like it's shimmering, but upon closer inspection, the light disappears, leaving only a faint, flickering glow," the attendant said, recalling the mermaid's appearance.

"She has long, curly red hair, blue eyes, and a very sweet and lovely appearance."

The attendant exclaimed excitedly, "She is the most beautiful girl I have ever seen!"

"A girl?" Onin asked, puzzled.

The attendant said uncertainly, "She is very small, and looks like she has just come of age."

Aoning seemed to be deep in thought. He instructed his servant to wait for him at the door, and after he changed his clothes, he would go with him to see the mermaid.

Aoning changed his clothes as quickly as possible, and then went to their secret base with his servants.

Despite being called a secret base, it was actually just an abandoned garden in the royal palace, overgrown with weeds, and almost no one went to that dilapidated place.

At the very back of the garden was a dilapidated house, which was where Onin and his servants held secret meetings.

Aoning bypassed the palace servants and guards to reach the secret base. He pushed open the door and immediately saw a mermaid lying on a dilapidated water tank.

Her long, red, curly hair lay obediently on both sides of her body, and her blue eyes were clear and innocent, full of curiosity about the world.

Aoning stepped inside, and the servants behind him quickly closed the door.

When the other servants in the room saw Oning enter, they bowed to him.

The mermaid Miaomiao glanced at the strange actions of the servants, then tilted her head and looked at Aoning, saying, "Please take me back to the sea. My people are waiting for me."

"My mother and father must be frantic with worry right now!"

Aoning looked at her expressionlessly. "Don't rush to take you back to the sea. First, tell me, do you know Leng Yuexing?"

Cold Moon Star?

Miao Miao's heart skipped a beat. She had only secretly followed the prince to the sea, but she never expected to be captured by humans.

She knew that the prince could now transform into human form, and as long as she didn't reveal the prince's identity, these humans would never know that the prince was also a mermaid.

Although she is currently in a precarious situation herself, she will definitely protect their prince.

Mermaids are such united creatures that they would never betray their companions, nor would they ever stand by and watch them die.

Although she knew nothing about the human world, she wasn't stupid and could tell that the person opposite her harbored hostility towards the prince.

So, Miaomiao lowered her head and thought for a moment, then asked with a puzzled look, "Who is Leng Yuexing? I've never heard of that name before."

The mermaid's expression didn't seem to lie at all, and even knowing that this mermaid was intelligent, Aoning didn't believe that a mermaid would lie.

After a moment of silence, Aoning asked again, "Your skin glows in the sunlight?"

Miaomiao naturally knew that mermaids' skin could glow in the sunlight.

They originally lived in the deep sea where there was no sunlight, and their scales could not only absorb light but also reflect it.

The higher the level of the mermaid, the more light its scales reflect.

She guessed that the reason the other person asked that question was because they saw the radiance emanating from the prince.

She recalled hearing the servants talk about the arrival of someone who seemed to be a god that afternoon.

She smiled to herself and said, "Our skin does indeed glow in the sunlight because we are blessed by the gods of the deep sea."

"The radiance emanating from the deep-sea deities is something we cannot even look up to."

After Miao Miao finished speaking, she pretended to be angry and asked, "You're the one who keeps asking questions, so tell me, when are you going to take me back to the sea?"

Aoning glanced at Miaomiao, then chuckled softly. He just wanted to laugh at the mermaid's naivety and foolishness.

Originally, he could only try to please Erian and get Erian to help him return home.

But now that he has seen the mermaid, he has thought of a better way, a way that does not require him to rely on Elian.

That means capturing more mermaids and exposing them to humans, so that he can be the first person to discover them!

With such prestige, he believed his father would surely take him back!

Thinking of this, his laughter grew louder and louder, and he laughed for a long time before he stopped.

He then said to the attendant beside him, "Find out information about her people, and then we will invite them to come and visit us!"
