After listening to Blain's explanation, Nida asked in bewilderment, "Why is Rein unwilling to release his master?"

He hadn't known Noe for long and didn't know about these past events.

Moreover, both Noi and Blain are special mermaids, so the value of the blood pearl should be the same. Why are you so fixated on Noi?

"Because Noi's blood pearl is unique. Have you ever seen a blood pearl that changes color?"

Nida was surprised. Normally, mermaid blood pearls are blood red with a bright red glow, smooth and tough, and can also nourish people.

It is believed that anyone who wears blood pearls can not only maintain their youthful appearance but also alleviate pain and prolong their lifespan.

This is precisely why they are so expensive, which leads to the large-scale capture of mermaids.

Blain continued, "His blood pearls can change color to sky blue, and their effects are not only three times that of ordinary blood pearls, but they can also cure terminal illnesses, making them almost a panacea."

"And most importantly... it works on mermaids too."

For mermaids, ordinary blood pearls are at most a valuable ornament; they not only cost them their lives but are also of little use.

Unless you meet someone you love, giving a blood pearl as a token of love means you value that person more than your own life.

And Noi's blood pearls also work on mermaids, which shows how beneficial they are.

Therefore, Blain never brought it up with Nida on his own initiative.

However, after spending the last two or three years together, the two developed a friendly relationship and trusted each other, so he stopped hiding it from him.

Blaine asked him, "Have you ever seen a winged mermaid?"

wing?

Nida processed his question for a moment and then realized what he meant.

Noi has wings?!

Although mermaids have evolved into amphibians, their lifespan is ten to eight years shorter than that of humans.

If mermaids had wings, it would mean that they were amphibious animals, living on land, in the air, and in the water.

And Noi is very likely the only amphibian.

Nida remembered that his powers were much stronger than those of other special mermaids, and he even had the ability to control seawater and cause tsunamis.

If what Blain said is true, then this woman named Mu Tiantian must be very important to Noy.

He suddenly remembered what Noy had once said: if he couldn't find her... he had no reason to exist.

Does Neu mean that land has no reason to exist?

He has been expanding his influence on the seabed, aiming to control all the oceans.

So, if he can't find Mu Tiantian, he'll flood the land?!

Nida was startled by his own thoughts, and a chill ran down his spine.

This was the first time Blaine had ever met the paralyzed Nida, and he stared in shock, his eyes wide.

He patted Nida on the shoulder and teased, "So you can be scared too, but don't tell anyone."

Should it get out?

Nida believed that if he actually did that, he would die a horrible death, "I don't have a habit of gossiping."

Blain nodded. "Indeed, you're just an emotionless work machine."

Nida still didn't understand something: "Why would someone like Raine, who doesn't care about other people's lives and can even hurt his own kind without any feelings, care about the life and death of Mu Tiantian, a human, and be threatened by her?"

Blain paused for a moment, then said, "Who knows..."

...

Duke Alec's Palace.

As soon as Ryan entered the hall, he heard the sound of things being smashed coming from the second floor, along with a woman's angry shouts.

The butler hurriedly stepped forward, "Duke, one of the mermaids we caught earlier has escaped."

Who is it?

"Luke."

"Where are the other mermaids?"

"Two of them died, but the rest were all captured. They fought desperately to cover Luke's escape."

After thinking for a moment, Raine ordered, "Kill them all and throw them into the sea off the coast of the Kingdom of Nannu."

"yes."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the sound of a massive object colliding with the ground came from upstairs.

It sounds like the cabinet has fallen over.

The butler said, "Miss Cheng has been going crazy ever since she returned from the palace and heard that you went to see Luya."

"Go do your work," Raine said calmly.

After the housekeeper left, Ryan went upstairs and walked to Cheng Xinyue's bedroom door.

The door was wide open, and inside was a woman dressed in a long court dress, with long, black, wavy hair reaching her waist. She had mixed features and was strikingly beautiful, like a noble and elegant princess.

If we ignore her shrewish behavior...

The floor was littered with shards of a vase, torn petals, and a fallen cabinet—a complete mess.

Ryan spoke coldly, "What's wrong with you?"

Upon hearing the sound, Cheng Xinyue loosened her grip on the vase, causing it to shatter and shards of porcelain to scatter.

She looked at Raine, immediately rushed over and hugged him, and asked with a wronged expression, "You went to see Luya? Didn't you see her once a couple of days ago? Why did you go to see her again? Your engagement was obviously fake."

When Cheng Xinyue came back before, she bumped into Luya and thought it was Mu Tiantian who had returned. She went crazy and wanted to fight her.

Finally, Raine told her the truth about Luya impersonating Mu Tiantian, which stopped her from going crazy.

As she held him, Ryan frowned, a wave of nausea rising within him. He instinctively wanted to push her away, but he felt a force preventing him from doing so.

This loss of control began the day Cheng Xinyue came back to life.

He loathed the feeling of being unable to control his emotions.

When Cheng Xinyue saw that he didn't push her away, her anger subsided considerably. She knew he hated being touched by women.

She is still the most special person to him, if it weren't for Mu Tiantian...

Therefore, she dislikes Mu Tiantian, including Luya who had plastic surgery to look like Mu Tiantian.

“The king has already agreed to marry me. He will announce at the palace banquet that I will become his queen.” After Cheng Xinyue finished speaking, she looked up at Renn, who was a head taller than her.

"Yes, you did very well." Renn's tone remained indifferent, without anger or the joy of his plan's imminent success.

Not to mention being jealous.

Cheng Xinyue felt extremely uncomfortable.

Eight years ago, she wasted one of Noy's blood pearls due to a mistake, and Mu Tiantian complained about it. If anyone else had made the same mistake, he would have beaten them half to death and kicked them out of the Duke's mansion.

But he only said a few words to her, stopped her from taking the blood pearl, and then ignored her.

He even took her to court banquets afterward, so he must have had feelings for her.

He promised her that if she helped him become king, she would be his queen.

So she followed his orders and entered the palace to seduce Prince Derlinson, who had not yet inherited the throne.

However, things didn't go very smoothly. After inheriting the throne, Derlinson held another election for queen, but he didn't find one he liked, so the election failed.

It has taken her a full eight years to make Derlinson fall in love with her and make him promise her.

She returned home happy, thinking that if Ryan knew she had succeeded, he would value her even more.

Instead, he told us that he had gone to see Luya.
