Cheng Xinyue knew where Rein was; he had seen Luya a couple of days ago.
He also disliked Luya's approach and saw no reason to see her again.
She was furious and went back to her room, where she started acting crazy.
Cheng Xinyue grew angrier the more she thought about it, and questioned, "You still haven't answered me why you went to see Luya? Did you fall for her because of her face? Don't forget that Mu Tiantian stabbed you in the back, how can you like her!"
When Ryan heard what she said, he paused, as if realizing something. He regained control of his body and pushed her away with disgust.
At this moment, the butler came upstairs and said hurriedly, "Duke, Miss Lucia has arrived, but she is injured and has developed mermaid-like features that she cannot conceal."
"Keep an eye on her." With that, Ryan went downstairs.
Cheng Xinyue was consumed by jealousy upon seeing this. She wanted to chase after him, but suddenly had a terrible headache.
The voice echoed in her mind again, "Give me back my body..."
"Shut up! Shut up!" Cheng Xinyue shook her head frantically, trying to shake off the voice.
But the sound lingered like a curse.
Suddenly, everything went black, and she fainted...
Raine went into the bathroom before going to see Luya.
He wanted to wash off the perfume scent Cheng Xinyue had left on him.
He took off his clothes and threw them directly into the trash can.
He has many scars, large and small, including whip marks and burns, most of which have faded and almost disappeared.
Only the grotesque scar running across his chest was visible.
When Raine saw the knife wound in the mirror, he remembered how he had gone mad and hurt Noy when Noy stole a kiss from Mu Tiantian.
Raine tied Mu Tiantian up with a rope, wanting her to watch him bleed Noi, which almost killed Noi.
At that moment, he wished he could just kill Noe.
Mu Tiantian shouted anxiously, "Are you crazy? He'll die if this continues!"
He ignored her pleas and, as if venting his anger, plunged the knife even deeper into Noe's chest.
Mu Tiantian's eyes reddened, "You're really crazy..."
She suddenly stood still, broke free of the ropes, ran forward, quickly snatched the knife from his hand, and stabbed it into his chest with all her might.
If it were another mermaid, they might die on the spot.
But he survived.
However, this was not due to his good luck, but because of Noy's blood pearl.
When he first obtained the Noi Blood Pearl, he felt the pain from his old injuries lessen.
So he kept wearing it, and unexpectedly it saved his life.
Looking back now, he should have drained Noy's blood completely until he died.
In that case, Mu Tiantian would have no chance to help him escape.
Rein recalled what Cheng Xinyue had just said, "She stabbed you in the back, how can you like her?"
Do you like it?
Was his jealousy of Noy because he liked her?
After a long pause, Renn gave a cold laugh.
He didn't know what liking someone meant; he only knew...
Mu Tiantian is his slave; whether she lives or dies, she can only obey him!
Therefore, whether in the ocean or on land, he must be the strongest to get what he wants.
Raine's eyes were filled with malice.
...
at night.
Mu Tiantian was held tightly in the arms of the sleeping Nuoyi.
Qi Tong told her about the situation after the school windows were blown up: [The school couldn't find the cause. Grandpa Mu was very happy to hear that you had done very well in your exams, but when he heard that you were missing, he rushed you to the hospital in a panic.]
Qi Tong: [I also found out who pushed Mu Shaojun into the sea back then. According to the information, he was your father's confidant, named He Lun.]
It was discovered that Mu Shao bribed He Lun to kill Mu Shaojun, and plotted to push him into the sea when they went out to sea.
Herren was clever; he bribed the people on the ship to pretend to accidentally push Mu Shaojun into the sea, thus exonerating himself completely.
This led to Mu Shaojun, after escaping death, still believing in Helen and going to find him.
Herren wrote to Mu Shaocheng about Mu Shaojun's location and asked for a large sum of money.
It wasn't until after Mu Shaojun's death that he learned it was Helun who had betrayed him.
Seven Tong: [Helen still has letters between him and Mu Shaocheng. Mu Shaocheng gave him a lot of money back then, all of which was transferred from the Mu family company. Although it's been a long time, a careful audit should reveal the correspondence.]
Mu Tiantian: [Where is Herren now?]
Qi Tong: [He's not in this country anymore. He's fled overseas and settled in another country. I need time to find his exact location.]
Mu Tiantian quietly turned over, preparing to get out of bed to check on Grandpa Mu.
Although he didn't have much affection for her, he seemed quite worried about her and genuinely treated her like his own granddaughter.
Going back to see him might help him recover faster.
However, as soon as she sat up, her waist tightened, and she fell backward again.
"Sister, where are you going?"
Mu Tiantian met Nuoyi's clear blue eyes.
His eyes were a lighter color than the other merfolk, like the blue sky.
Her thin, red lips curved into a slight smile, making her look somewhat innocent and naive.
"I..." Mu Tiantian hesitated for a moment, "I want to go back..."
Before she could finish speaking, Noy frowned and clutched his chest, his face pale.
"What's wrong with you?" Mu Tiantian asked worriedly as she pulled open his pajamas.
Then I saw the hideous scar on his chest, which stretched from below his collarbone all the way down to his abdomen.
Mu Tiantian felt heartbroken, and the words she had prepared were forgotten.
"It's nothing, it just hurts occasionally." Noi said, sounding like she was enduring pain rather than that nothing was wrong.
"Nothing? I have to take a look." With that, Mu Tiantian started to take off all of his shirts.
Noi took her hand and asked, "Sister, do you remember the first time we met?"
Mu Tiantian stopped.
"You slashed me..." Noy said slowly, "and I bit you..."
In order to gain Rein's trust and stay by Noy's side, Mu Tiantian had to personally retrieve Noy's blood pearl in front of Rein.
Noe was hostile towards her, and her trust level dropped to negative.
This was the first time she had encountered a situation where the target value for a mission was negative.
After that, in an effort to regain her trust, she used all sorts of kind words, "Little Noyi, you really have to believe me. This medicine is good for your health. I really will never hurt you again, otherwise I will..."
"If I ever hurt you again, may I die a horrible death!" Mu Tiantian swore, coaxing, "Look, I've already made a solemn oath."
To everyone's surprise, his trust level not only didn't increase, but actually decreased.
He said quietly, "Oaths never come true. You humans love to use oaths to deceive people."
Mu Tiantian scratched her hair, put her arm to his mouth, and handed him a knife, saying righteously, "Here's what we'll do, I'll slash you, and you can choose to slash me back, or bite me, as revenge."
At that time, Noe didn't want to pay attention to her, but her arms were white and slender, and her fingers were long and beautiful, so beautiful that she couldn't take her eyes off her.
He grabbed her hand and bit her arm hard, only stopping after it bled.
His trust level also rose from negative to zero.
now.
Noi gently stroked Mu Tiantian's delicate arm, which was as smooth as white jade and without any scars.
But he remembered where he had bitten it, and gently kissed it back...
