In the distance, the villagers gathered together, their faces contorted with malice.
"The man Yu Ruo brought back is indeed a monster."
"Ha! We threw her into the sea as a sacrifice to the sea monster, thinking she would die, but she came back alive, bringing a monster with her!"
"Who knows if the person standing here is the real Yu Ruo or a fake Yu Ruo? Maybe it's a monster in disguise."
The bearded man scoffed, "As long as the monster lives, the village will never have peace. Take advantage of his injury and kill him!"
He was the first to propose sacrificing Yu Ruo, but if this were discovered, the consequences would be dire.
We should strike first and eliminate them.
Hu Luosai flicked his thick gold chain. "Don't forget, everyone present received a share of the sacrifice to Yu Ruo. That man has sorcery; if he discovers it... everything we have now will be gone."
At this moment, the villagers forgot that without Yu Ruo and the so-called monster, they would have starved to death long ago and would never have been able to wear gold and silver jewelry.
Now that they are well-fed and clothed in gold and silver, they are discussing how to kill their benefactor.
The villagers revealed their greedy and ugly faces, shouting, "Kill the monster!!"
The bearded man narrowed his eyes, "Follow me!"
As Yu Ruo helped Cang Lin out of the water, they bumped into a series of very familiar faces.
She kindly reminded them, "Uncles and elders, the tide hasn't gone out yet, it's too dangerous. What are you doing at the beach?"
The bearded man gave a signal, and the others immediately pulled out long machetes and surrounded the two men covered in blood.
Yu Ruo was shocked; her father was also inside, and he was pointing his sword at her.
She asked incredulously, "Father, why...?"
The village chief lowered his head. "Xiaoyu, blame yourself for bringing back a monster."
Yu Ruo retorted loudly, "He's not a monster; he's clearly helped everyone a lot."
"He's a monster! What normal person has blue eyes?!" the bearded man roared. "Ha! We don't need his help. This monster is definitely up to no good."
This unreasonable expression was unfamiliar to her. Yu Ruo took a few steps back and heard a huge joke.
He asked her for help when he was down on his luck, but now that he's rich, she's turning around and blaming him.
Yu Ruo was silent for a moment, then looked at her father, "You also think we are monsters?"
The village chief kept his head down, not daring to look at her. "Xiaoyu, if you had died sooner, this wouldn't have happened."
"What do you mean?!!"
Yu Ruo recalled the abnormalities and strange signs before she fell into a coma, and she finally understood.
"It was you who pushed me into the sea!"
"It was you who handed me over to the sea monster!"
The village chief wiped away his crocodile tears and readily admitted, "That's right, I tied your hands and feet and pushed you into the abyss. We were all doing it for the village, there was no other way..."
Yu Ruo's pupils constricted sharply, and her eyes reddened. "Father, how could you kill your own daughter?!"
She had asked the little fish to save her uncles, but they pushed her toward her death.
I should have known better than to save him or help him.
Village Chief: "Xiaoyu, this is your fate. Being chosen is a great blessing. You should never have brought a monster home."
Yu Ruo couldn't reason with them, saying, "The sea monster is dead. There are no monsters in the world."
The bearded man shouted, "An ordinary person couldn't possibly kill a sea monster; he is the monster."
"Kill him!"
Yu Ruo understood completely.
The villagers believe you are a god if you are a god, and a demon if you are a demon.
It doesn't matter who the monster is; in their hearts, only those who are beneficial to them are gods, and they'll kick them aside once they've used them.
Human evil is nothing more than this: outwardly kind, yet inwardly harming the innocent.
At this moment, who is the real monster?
Yu Ruo retreated step by step into the sea, the icy water washing over her calves, and she urged anxiously on.
"You go quickly, don't worry about me, go back to the seabed."
Cang Lin shook his head, "I can't leave you behind."
The villagers surrounded the entrance to the sea, blocking it completely, leaving Yu Ru with nowhere to retreat.
These people came prepared, but they chose to do it when Cang Lin was seriously injured.
Canglin is a mermaid; as long as he jumps into the sea, the villagers cannot harm him.
As for her...
Yu Ruo made her decision. "Wait, let's go quickly."
She rushed toward her father, desperately trying to break through a path.
The bearded man shouted, "Grab her! Don't let the monster get away!!"
Countless blades and clubs pounded on her back. Yu Ruo slowly closed her eyes, awaiting death.
Meeting Cang Lin in this life is her greatest fortune; may we meet again in the next life.
Tick-tock! Tick-tock!
Thick, fresh blood slid down his cheeks, and the strong smell of blood filled his nostrils, but he felt no pain whatsoever.
Yu Ruo suddenly opened her eyes. Cang Lin shielded her with his body and forced out a pale smile.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Yu Ruo sobbed uncontrollably, "No, go away, go away!"
"I won't leave, you are... my only companion."
The Scaled Dragon never moved from beginning to end.
Time passed second by second, and his breath grew weaker and weaker. Yu Ruo's ears were filled with the frantic shouts of the villagers.
"Almost there! Kill him, burn the body, grind the bones to ashes, quick! Quick!!"
Yu Ruo was extremely anxious, and her vision gradually blurred.
Who will save them?
Who will save Canglin?
A hoarse voice echoed in her mind, "I can grant you boundless power to save your beloved husband. Are you willing to make a deal with me?"
Yu Ruo tearfully agreed, "I do."
As soon as he finished speaking, a burning sensation came from his dantian, and his whole body was filled with powerful energy.
"Ahhh!!"
She overturned everyone present, including Cang Lin.
Consciousness was gradually being swallowed up, leaving only one thought in my mind.
