Jiang Linyuan was furious, his eyes almost spitting fire.
That's his precious thing; anyone who touches it but him will die!!
He gathered spiritual energy in his hand and thrust it fiercely at Mu Nancheng once again.
This attack used all of his spiritual power and skillfully bypassed Si Jin, piercing through Mu Nancheng's shoulder in one fell swoop.
"Ahhh!"
His scapula was suddenly pierced, and he was tormented by immense pain.
Mu Nancheng screamed and released Si Jin.
With a clang, the trident fell to the ground.
At the same time, Mu Nancheng staggered back two steps and fell onto the spotless hall.
With quick reflexes, Si Jin immediately used her divine power to hide the real trident, then made a fake one and threw it back in the same spot.
Mu Nancheng's shoulder was bleeding, and the pain made the scales of his shoulder stand up, sending chills down the spines of onlookers.
However, Jiang Linyuan had no intention of giving up.
He stepped forward, sword raised, and struck Mu Nancheng's neck: "I'll take your life!!"
Mu Nancheng screamed in terror, dragging his heavy tail backward. Just as he was about to call for someone to come in and protect him, he saw Si Jin grab Jiang Linyuan's secondary tail.
The boy seemed terrified, his hands gripping his lover tightly, trembling slightly.
"Stop hitting him, Yuanyuan, stop hitting him."
"I'm scared, I don't want to stay here anymore, take me away, please take me away?"
Jiang Linyuan was forced to stop.
Seeing a chance to catch his breath, Mu Nancheng immediately floated back up and summoned a cage with his spiritual power.
Clatter—
They detained Si Jin and Jiang Linyuan.
Mu Nancheng's fishtail gradually returned to normal. He covered the wound on his shoulder with one hand and let out a piercing and perverse laugh:
"Mu Linyuan, you are really amazing, but you are still dragged down by this useless little lover!"
"Look at this good-for-nothing! As the god of the sea, he didn't even pick up his trident when it fell right at his feet. What makes him worthy of being the next god of the sea? He'd be more like a lover who should die for you, hahaha!"
Jiang Linyuan couldn't understand why Si Jin suddenly seemed like a different person.
Fearing that the trident's curse had affected his little fish, he quickly pulled it into his arms:
"Jinjin, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Si Jin didn't answer, but just huddled in her lover's arms, tears streaming down her face.
Mu Nancheng was overjoyed. He immediately summoned the mermaid guards outside and gave them instructions, word by word:
"Those two trespassed into the palace and attempted to assassinate the emperor. Throw them in the water dungeon immediately and skin them alive!!"
Take their skins and make a new handkerchief for me!
"Yes!" The guards quickly took Si Jin and Jiang Linyuan away.
After the two left, Mu Nancheng used his spiritual power to heal his wounds before picking up the trident from the ground.
They held it in their arms like a precious treasure.
That's great. He originally thought Si Jin was a huge threat.
Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a cowardly crybaby, and his ungrateful younger brother, Mu Linyuan, was also caught in the net.
That's great, that's great.
From now on, he can sit firmly on the throne and have no more worries!
Mu Nancheng was smugly pleased with himself, unaware that Si Jin had already planned his death the moment she saw him.
The boy used himself as bait to weave an elaborate trap.
Clearly, Mu Nancheng jumped down with a smile, taking the first step toward his death.
… …
Inside the water dungeon, Jiang Linyuan and Si Jin were locked on a skinning table.
It's called a skinning platform, but it's actually a stone slab big enough to hold three mermaids.
It is said to be designed based on the chopping board in the human world.
The guards retreated, and the executioner responsible for skinning the fish quickly swam in, flicking his tail.
He took out his gleaming curved knife, spat out the half-chewed fish food in his mouth, and said flippantly:
"Gentlemen, don't blame me. You insisted on assassinating the leader, so this is the only possible outcome!"
"Okay, don't scream too pitifully in a bit. I need to hurry up and get to dinner."
Having said that, he swiftly brought down the knife.
brush--
The blade was sharp and cold, and blood spurted out.
The executioner's head was severed and slammed to the ground without warning.
Si Jin's lips slowly curved into a beautiful smile.
Bewitching and wicked.
Alright, now that no one's bothering us, the plan can begin.
