Chapter 68: After Abandoning the Innocent Mermaid 6 Neptune is Licking Him...
Neptune has a strong learning ability and learned to walk in a short time. He can walk very fast and from time to time he would perform a one-handed hug for Fuwei. Hugging Fuwei is no different from hugging a baby.
The side effects of those potions all disappeared. With the help of the potions, Neptune could transform between human and fish forms at any time.
It’s just that Fu Wei’s body is too weak. He soaked in blood for a whole night last time, and since then he has started to have intermittent fever and colds. He feels drowsy every day, and is more unconscious than awake.
This made the mermaid and the people in the mansion very anxious.
Fortunately, half a month later, Fu Wei finally recovered from her illness.
But some bad news was also delivered to Fu Wei.
Last time, Fu Wei, without permission, led his personal guards to seal off the Colosseum. When the emperor learned of this, he was furious and forced Fu Wei to hand it over. Naturally, the rest of the follow-up fell into Fu Yu's hands.
Fu Yu wrote to the emperor, asking him to release the people captured in the Colosseum and send all the fighting animals back to the Colosseum, and requested the emperor to open up animal fighting and make it legal.
Many of the wealthy families from the capital planet who watched the beast fights were powerful politicians.
Fu Yu wanted to use this opportunity to please them, to do them a favor, and to build momentum for his ascension to the throne.
No wonder Fu Yu has been quiet for a while. He seems to have been waiting for me here for a long time.
That's really unfortunate. Fu Wei has been bedridden for these years and has no interest in anything except opposing Fu Yu. Fu Yu wants to do this, but he refuses.
Aelide whispered, "Your Highness, your unauthorized closure of the Colosseum last time has already made His Majesty the Emperor very unhappy. Why don't we just leave this matter alone?"
Fu Wei sneered, "I went through so much trouble to seal it off, but he just let it go with a few words. Isn't this a slap in my face? And regardless of whether I sealed it off or not, those wealthy families have long been disgusted with me because of Fu Yu. If that's the case, I won't give in to their wishes."
Ai Ruide was shocked: "Your Highness, what do you want to do?"
Fu Wei: "I remember the video of us going to the Colosseum to shut it down is still there, right?"
Aeld nodded: "It's been sorted."
Fu Wei nodded: "Send me a copy. Also, I'm going to see Fu Yu soon. If I'm not back in three hours, you can send the video."
Fu Wei can't do anything to Fu Yu now, after all, the emperor is behind him.
But the eight galaxies of the Dawn Empire and the billions of star-dwellers are all eyeing the capital star with eager eyes. If public figures like them make the slightest mistake, it will be magnified infinitely, and the public opinion aroused by then will be enough to drown them.
Doesn’t Fu Yu want the support of the aristocratic family?
He wanted to see whether the crown prince, who had lost the support of the people, could sit firmly on the throne.
Fu Wei entered the palace. At that time, Fu Yu was sitting in his study with his legs on the table. His eyes were full of disdain and pride. He looked at Fu Wei nonchalantly.
"Oh, who was it? It turned out to be my brother. What happened? What wind blew my dear brother here?"
Fu Wei sat in a wheelchair with her hands elegantly folded in front of her. Her snow-white hair was blown to her sides, and her eyes were filled with aloofness and indifference, like a cold sculpture.
"I heard you're going to release those noble families?"
Fu Yu snorted, his face full of disdain, "If this is what you're here for, then you're too late. His Majesty has already agreed to my suggestion." After a pause, Fu Yu checked his watch and said proudly, "In three hours, all those people from the aristocratic families will be released."
Fu Wei chuckled: "Are you so confident that it will succeed?"
Fu Yu smiled and said, "Father's words are golden. Do you really think you can change them?"
Fu Wei said softly, "Father is the emperor of the empire. I naturally cannot change his decision, but you are different."
Fu Yu's heart tightened, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice: "What do you mean?"
Fu Wei: "I personally sealed off the Colosseum. Do you really think I went there just for a mermaid or to cause trouble for you?"
Fu Yu looked disdainful: "What else?"
Fu Wei: "You are right, but the main reason is that I know that the Colosseum is yours."
Fu Yu was panicked, but he managed to hold on to his appearance. He pursed his lips and said, "I don't understand what you are saying."
Fu Wei chuckled: "Don't you understand? How about this?"
A huge holographic screen unfolded, and countless codes flashed rapidly. The virtual casino belonging to the Colosseum was released, and countless virtual currencies were being continuously invested in the gambling game.
This is the casino behind the Colosseum. Every guest who comes here to watch the beast fights will invest his or her money in the casino to gamble.
The so-called Colosseum is actually just a casino.
Seeing Fu Yu's face turn pale, he stared at the data in front of him, clenched his fists tightly, looked into Fu Wei's eyes, and wished he could cut him into pieces.
"Fuyu, this is not a Colosseum at all, it's a casino."
"You opened a casino and abused your power for personal gain. How could the Second Prince of the Empire do such a thing..." Fu Wei chuckled softly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. "Guess what would happen to you if others knew about this?"
You have to know that the Colosseum only violated the Animal Protection Act. Even if the truth is revealed, they can just release the animals and pay a certain fine.
However, gambling violates interstellar regulations, especially on this scale. In addition, Fu Yu is a prince, which means he is abusing his power for personal gain. Not only will he be brought to the Imperial Court, but his crime will be aggravated. In the end, even if he does not go to jail, he will be sentenced to imprisonment.
Fu Yu gritted his teeth and asked, "How did you know?"
Fu Wei did not answer, her red lips curled up slightly, her whole body relaxed, she leaned back with her hands in front of her. He was clearly sitting, and he was clearly looking up at Fu Yu, but he became the one in control of the overall situation.
"He's a prince of the empire, making money in his own jurisdiction and opening a casino. I don't know what to do if the news gets out."
"Don't you think so, my dear brother?"
Fu Yu clenched his fists and cold sweat broke out on his head. He turned on the computer and then Fu Wei heard that the study had activated the protection system. From now on, no one could come in, and no one could go out.
"Fuwei, hand over the evidence, or I will ensure that you will not be able to leave the palace."
Fu Yu strode to Fu Wei, bent down, stretched out his hand to grab Fu Wei's neck, and threatened with bloodshot eyes: "No one can save you."
Fu Wei wasn't afraid. She looked at him slowly and said quietly, "Do you think I came here alone without considering all the possibilities?"
Fu Yu: "What do you mean?"
Fu Wei checked the time on the computer and said, "You can torture me, you can stop me, you can even kill me. If I don't leave the palace on time today, my guards will post all the evidence on Starnet."
"And you must understand, although I'm a loser, I'm still a prince of the empire. Today, I walked into your office openly, and everyone in the palace knows about it. If I die in your office, in your study, and the truth comes out one day, you'll be silencing me, a crime that's even more serious."
Fu Yu was in a state of panic that he could not control, and the hand that was holding Fu Wei was shaking.
Seeing that Fu Yu was still unwilling to give up, Fu Wei raised her eyes and looked at him calmly:
"Fuyu, by then, you will lose not only your throne, but also your life. Billions of stars are watching you. Do you think your good father can still protect you?"
"He's so selfish, he'll just give up on you without a second thought."
"Fuyu, you have no way to go, what do you say we should do?"
Yes, he has no way out. If something happens to Fu Wei today, he will be the first to suffer.
But if he doesn't control Fu Wei, he will be the one who will be ruined immediately.
Fu Yu put her hand down, like a deflated ball, biting her lip tightly and staring at him: "Fu Wei, what on earth do you want to do?"
Fu Wei was so pleased with the expression of the empire's number one genius that she only heard him say slowly, "Since you don't know what to do, just kneel down."
Fu Yu looked at Fu Wei in disbelief.
Fu Wei actually asked him to kneel down, who the hell was he?! Fu Yu subconsciously wanted to sneer back, but when he thought of his own weakness, his arrogance vanished. Fu Yu bit his lip and slowly knelt down in front of Fu Wei.
Full of humiliation and unwillingness.
Fu Wei's perspective also changed from looking up to looking down on others with contempt.
"You're so good, my good brother." Fu Weiwei leaned forward slightly and lifted his chin casually, his eyes full of satisfaction and a kind of almost stimulating pleasure.
There is nothing more comfortable than stepping under the feet of your enemy who has been your enemy since childhood.
Fu Yu's face was full of anger and repressed expression, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Fu Wei looked down at him and said, "Do you know what it feels like to have no mental power and can only rely on potions to forcibly obtain mental power?"
Fu Yu was confused and didn't understand what Fu Wei meant. Then he saw that the hand that was originally caressing his cheek was holding a silver and exquisite pistol and pressing it against his temples.
Fu Yu's eyes were filled with panic and his face was pale with fear. Given the past between him and Fu Wei, he believed without hesitation that Fu Wei would really kill him.
"Fuwei, Fuwei, I am your brother, I am your brother, you can't kill me."
"Everyone knows you've come to the palace. If you kill me, my father won't let you go, and you'll die too."
Fu Wei chuckled, not afraid at all: "If you die, I will be your only son, the only heir to the empire. Why can't I be the heir too?"
Fu Yu yelled: "No, no, Fu Wei, ah——"
With a slight sound, a bullet not much thicker than a needle penetrated Fu Yu's brain.
The needle came so quickly that Fu Yu only felt an itch in his temples, as if he had been stung by something. He touched his head, his face full of disbelief.
He was actually fine, and Fu Wei just let him go like that?
But the more this happened, the more panicked he became.
Because this is a ticking time bomb!
"What is that needle, what did you do to me?"
Fu Wei chuckled as if petting a puppy: "Don't worry, I won't kill you. I won't take your life."
"Then what is this thing, Fuwei, what did you do to me?"
Fu Wei said coldly, "From now on, if you dare to use even a little bit of your mental power, you will feel the pain of thousands of needles piercing your heart. My dear brother, this is my gift to you."
Fu Yu's face turned pale as he looked at him in disbelief. He was so angry that he wanted to attack Fu Wei, but as soon as he mobilized his mental power, it felt like countless steel nails were embedded in his heart. He screamed in pain and knelt down again.
"It hurts, it hurts so much..." Fu Yu finally calmed down after experiencing the piercing pain. He stared at Fu Wei intently, "What do you want in exchange for letting me go?"
Fu Weiwei frowned slightly, a little unhappy: "Is this your attitude when asking for help?"
Fu Yu gritted his teeth, fell to the ground at Fu Wei's feet, and begged in a low voice: "Please, let me go."
Fu Wei then curled her lips in satisfaction.
"Go to your Emperor immediately and ask him to revoke the order and hand those noble families over to the Inquisition for judgment, all according to interstellar law."
Fu Yu had promised the noble families that he would release them, but now that the time has come, he has gone back on his word and wants to hand them over to the Imperial Tribunal.
This would undoubtedly play a trick on the nobles and aristocratic families, which would undoubtedly anger them, and his ascension to the throne would be significantly less powerful. Furthermore, it would likely anger the Emperor, which was simply asking for trouble.
Fu Wei naturally saw Fu Yu's concerns and said sarcastically, "You want the emperor's favor, the support of the nobles, and the hearts of the people."
"But there is no such good thing in the world."
Do you want hundreds of millions of star-folks to point at your head and curse you, or do you want to offend those aristocratic families and anger the Emperor?
This is a really good choice.
No matter which one it is, Fu Wei is happy to see it.
After an unknown amount of time, Fu Yu finally replied, "I promise you, I won't post these things online."
Fu Wei chuckled: "That's great, I'll wait for your good news."
Fu Yu didn't trust him and looked at him with burning eyes: "What if you regret it?"
Fu Wei was too lazy to pay attention to him: "You don't have to believe me."
Yes, he had no room for regret. Fu Wei was the dominant one now, and he could only trust Fu Wei.
As the study door opened, Fu Wei left and Fu Yu collapsed on the ground. After a while, the servant came in and saw this scene. He hurriedly helped Fu Yu up.
But Fu Yu held on to the guard tightly, as if she had remembered something, and asked anxiously, "What time is it now?"
The guard replied, "Half past eleven."
In half an hour, the group of noble families will be released. No, he has to go find the emperor now. If he misses the time, his life will be over.
…
On the other side, Fu Wei had just returned to the mansion when Aide came over with a smile on his face.
Aelide whispered, "Your Highness, news just came from the palace that the Second Prince suddenly changed his mind and asked His Majesty to withdraw his order, which ultimately caused the Emperor to become furious."
Fu Wei nodded: "Has the order been withdrawn?"
Aide said, "He was stopped a minute before he was to be released. Now the nobles of the capital planet are extremely angry about Fu Yu."
Fu Wei smiled faintly: "That's really great."
Because Fu Wei was unpopular and a good-for-nothing, Aired saw all the hardships she had endured over the years. Now that she was finally able to show off her skills, Aired was extremely happy.
Fu Wei was naturally happy, so she simply gave the servants in the mansion a holiday and gave them a substantial bonus, allowing them to go out and have some fun and rest.
After doing all this, Fu Wei remembered that she hadn't seen Neptune for the whole day and didn't know what the silly mermaid was doing.
"Where's Neptune?"
Aelide said, "The young master woke up today and found that His Highness was not there. He was in a bad mood for a while. He should be practicing calligraphy in the reading and writing room now. Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Ever since Neptune learned to walk, Fu Wei personally taught him to write, so that he wouldn't be an illiterate fish in the future. Most importantly, he wanted to send Neptune to school.
Whether you will use it in the future or not, it is always good to learn more.
Thinking of Neptune's grumpy expression, Fu Wei couldn't help but laugh: "He really got spoiled."
Ai Ruide was somewhat helpless: "Your Highness has no responsibility?"
Fu Wei stood up from the wheelchair and said seriously, "I never taught him to throw tantrums. He's obviously a fish, but I don't know why you thought he was a scoundrel who came out of nowhere."
Aled laughed.
The two of them walked into the reading and writing room together.
Big Tail Fish was nestled on the bay window in the room. The snow-white curtains blocked Neptune's upper body. He was doing something furtively, mumbling something that Fu Wei couldn't understand.
Fu Wei gestured to Aide to go out first and go take a look herself.
Aired understood, smiled and left, closing the door behind him.
Fu Wei also wanted to tease the mermaid, so she walked over quietly.
"What are you doing?"
The sudden words scared Neptune so much that he turned backward subconsciously and was about to fall off the windowsill. Fu Wei was so scared that she hurried to catch him.
But Fu Wei had not taken the potion yet. How could his small body catch the mermaid? Not only did he fail to stop the mermaid, but he was caught by the mermaid and fell down together with her.
Fu Wei groaned. Fortunately, there was a blanket on the ground. When Neptune fell, he used his arms to support himself and did not fall directly on Fu Wei. Otherwise, Fu Wei would have been crushed to death by him.
The snow-white curtains fluttered, and Neptune's eyes lit up when he saw Fu Wei.
Fu Wei patted his shoulder: "Get up first."
Neptune quickly stood up and looked at Fu Wei's red eyes due to the pain, with a look of worry on his face: "Fu Wei, I'm sorry, are you okay? Does it hurt?"
Fu Wei shook her head: "It doesn't hurt that much."
Neptune was very stubborn. He had seen Fu Wei lying on the bed, cold all over, pale in the face, unconscious, as if dead.
The thought of that frightened him to death.
He can't lose Fu Wei.
"No, what if you get hurt?" Neptune said seriously.
Fu Wei said helplessly: "Then how can you believe it?"
Neptune thought seriously for a moment, then said, "Take off your clothes. I want to see them."
Fu Wei thought Neptune was joking and jokingly asked, "Why, are you going to strip me naked again?"
"yes."
Fu Wei choked: "There's no need to be so serious."
The mermaid looked at Fu Wei seriously and pretended to take off Fu Wei's clothes.
This action frightened Fu Wei so much that she quickly covered her clothes and stood up to run, but the mermaid was very fast and caught Fu Wei in one go.
Fu Wei blushed and bit her lip as she said, "I'm really fine."
The mermaid's expression was very serious. He blinked his blue eyes and said seriously, "No, Fuwei, I have to take a look, otherwise I will be very worried about you."
"Don't worry, I'll finish it soon, Fuwei. It won't hurt, okay?"
"Neptune, let go, or I will be angry." Fu Wei suddenly regretted scaring this stubborn fish.
The mermaid was indeed stunned for a moment. He was afraid that Fu Wei would be angry, and he was especially afraid that Fu Wei would abandon him.
Fu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
“Are you mean to me?” the mermaid blinked and said pitifully.
Fu Wei: “…”
The mermaid's tears fell down and turned into pearls, bouncing up and down on the ground. Soon the whole ground was covered with snow-white pearls.
The mermaid was still sobbing: "You are so mean to me. You have never been mean to me before."
Fu Wei felt like a scumbag, the kind that would dump someone after sleeping with them.
Fu Wei tried to explain: "I didn't mean that. I was just a little anxious just now. I didn't mean to be mean to you. Don't cry."
"Big liar, I don't want you anymore."
What should I do?
As she spoke, Fu Wei reached out to wipe Neptune's tears, but she didn't know where to start. Then she saw the mermaid crying and putting Fu Wei's hand against her face.
Didn’t you agree that you don’t want me?
Why did you post it yourself?
Mermaid: "You don't like me at all."
Fu Wei: "...I like it."
Mermaid: "Then prove it to me, or I won't believe it."
Very good, you have fallen into the self-proving trap.
Fu Wei looked at the fish that was crying sadder than anyone else and felt that the fish might not be stupid at all, but rather very smart. It would be better if he didn't use this cleverness on himself.
Fu Wei's brows twitched violently, and after a while, he seemed to compromise.
Starting from the first button on the body, he unbuttoned them one by one, revealing the thin snow-white chest, and slowly took off the snow-white shirt until the entire upper body was exposed.
The mermaid blinked, still looking innocent, but for some reason, there was a faint fiery light in her eyes.
"Fuwei, I can't see clearly."
Fu Wei turned his back, and a hand touched his slender waist, slowly pressing him onto the desk beside him.
Neptune reached out and lifted the long snow-white hair in front of Fu Wei, revealing her snow-white back. Her undulating shoulder blades were like flying butterflies, covered in red, and some places even had broken skin.
"Fuwei, you are injured."
The cool fingers brushed across his shoulder blades, bringing with them a terrifying electric shock sensation that was somewhat unbearable for Fu Wei. He could only suppress his voice and whispered, "Have you seen enough?"
The mermaid said seriously, "You need treatment."
"It's nothing, I'll find some medicine to apply and it will be fine..."
Mermaid: "Don't move, I can help you."
Just when Fu Wei was still wondering how this silly fish could help her, she froze in a daze, her face blank except for the obvious feeling of moisture on her shoulder blades from the slightly barbed tongue.
It hurts and itches, feels comfortable and uncomfortable.
Fu Wei was trembling all over and her eyes turned red.
Neptune was actually licking his wounds!
