There are three major island owners in the mermaid clan. Because they find it troublesome, only one of them comes to every meeting of the seven royal clans. This time it is not Yu Fangqing's turn. She found out that Dao Yun Wuzhen was coming, so she took the initiative to change the team.
Before Yu Fangqing entered the door, a clear ring of silver bells came in. People in the courtyard looked for the sound curiously, and saw a woman whose face was covered by a gauze walking towards the courtyard.
She was wearing a sheer dress, her skin was like snow satin, her graceful figure was looming, and a pair of silver bells hung on her ankles, making a crisp sound with every step she took. The woman's face was half veiled,
Covering the eyes and nose, only the lower half of the face is exposed. The lips are bright rose red, which looks like lipstick. The lips are beautifully shaped, and the curvature of the jawline is just right. People can't help but think that only half of the face is already
So beautiful, I wonder what kind of peerless face is hidden under this veil.
A peerless beauty. This is the evaluation of Yu Fangqing by an orc who has been to the Evernight Island.
"You don't want to be so beautiful?" Hang Shiqi whispered to Yun Wuzhen.
"What's the use of looking good? Can it be used as food?" Yun Wuzhen said sadly and angrily.
"What the hell did she do to you?" Hang Shiqi was confused. Listen, is this something a face-control person can say? How was she forced into it?
Yun Wuzhen shook his head: "It's hard to look back on the past, Xiao Qi..."
Shuang Yu's eyes were completely ignored by this beauty, and she stared straight at Yu Meng behind her, with hatred in her eyes, and said to Ao Wu: "Your Highness, this is the mermaid who helped cooperate with Cocoon Rat last time.
"
Ao Wu nodded to express his understanding: "I will get back the justice I deserve."
"Qing has met His Highness the Wolf King, His Highness the Cloud Fox King." A light and graceful voice came out from the red lips. It was like a row of crystal bubbles on the sea on a sunny day, giving off a clear rainbow luster in the sun.
"Master Yu." King Yunhu smiled and cupped his hands.
Ao Wu only said a faint "hmm". He was cold and distant.
"Don't you welcome me, His Highness the Wolf King?" Yu Fangqing smiled and took a step towards Ao Wu, her eyes scanning the group of people behind Ao Wu.
"Why don't you, Lord Yu, explain why the people behind you joined a group of rats to assassinate me last month?" Ao Wu didn't want to beat around the bush, so he made it clear.
"Your Highness, the Wolf King, what are you talking about? I sent Yu Meng out to find my sweetheart." Yu Fangqing's smile did not change and her eyes drifted towards Yun Wuzhen: "Isn't it, my little Zhen'er?"
"Pfft--" Hang Shiqi snickered. Unexpectedly, Yun Wuzhen, a romantic prince, would tease Xiao Qi in front of him every day, and one day he would be called "Zhen'er". This is really...
Glad to hear it!
Yun Wuzhen shrank his head and said nothing. He hid behind his elder brother and said nothing, pretending that he was nothing.
"Why, little prince, don't you remember Qing?" Yu Fangqing took a few steps closer. She clearly smiled and spoke, but her tone made people feel chilly: "You used to be like Sister Qing, and you were so cute."
Yun Wuzhen whispered for help: "Brother..."
Yun Wulan took a step out of the way and pushed Yun Wuzhen forward: "Master Yu is greeting you, don't be so rude."
Yun Wu really wanted to cry. Is this a polite question? Your brother is going to die!
"Hi, long time no see...Sister Qing." Yun Wuzhen couldn't hide, so he had to bite the bullet and say hello. It's just that the last shout of Sister Qing sounded like she was gritting her teeth.
Yu Fangqing didn't mind. She stretched out her jade fingers and brushed Yun Wuzhen's cheek: "You're so good. You've been out playing for so long. If I didn't look for you, you wouldn't know how to go home."
"Master Yu, before we reminisce about the past," Ao Wu interrupted Yu Fangqing: "I, the Frostwolf Clan, must first explain the assassination."
"Okay, then I will give an explanation to His Highness the Wolf King first." Yu Fangqing turned around and looked at Ao Wu: "I like Yun Wuzhen and want to bring him back to the island, but he is protected by the Frost Wolf Yunhu clan at the same time.
You have to create some situation for him, right? But to say that he participated in the assassination, this label is too big. Those group of cocoon rat orcs want to assassinate the Wolf King, it is their business, my people were not involved from the beginning to the end, but
It's just to provide them with a convenient hiding place in the water in exchange for them blaming Yun Wuzhen for the incident."
"What assassination, what framing?" Yun Wulan's expression changed when he heard this, and asked Yun Wuzhen: "How come such a thing happened and you didn't know to tell me?"
"It's not that the murderer hasn't been caught yet. The Wolf King asked me to keep it a secret for the time being. Brother, you have to worry about the clan's affairs, and I don't want to distract you." Yun Wuzhen explained.
"If you need help from me in the future, I can also cooperate in time." Yun Wulan said this half to Yun Wuzhen and half to Ao Wu.
"Thank you King Yunhu for your kindness." Ao Wu said politely.
Yun Wulan waved his hand: "Wolf King, you don't have to be polite to me. You are Wu Zhen's best friend and you are half of my family. Besides, the Yunhu clan and the Frostwolf clan have always advanced and retreated together. It is also necessary to help each other."
Ao Wu nodded and looked at Yu Fangqing again: "You are free to pursue who you like, but it is a fact that you assisted Cocoon Rat and harmed my people."
"Because of the cover of the mermaid clan, Cocoon Rat successfully hid at the dock for many days, which led to the kidnapping of Shuangyu, the heir to our clan's high priest. During the retreat of Cocoon Rat, he helped hunt down Shuangyu, causing Shuangyu to be seriously injured and almost died.
; An Qing, the team leader of our Presbyterian Church’s escort team, died; several other members of the security team were injured. Does Master Yu think these blood debts have nothing to do with the mermaid clan?”
"His Royal Highness, Wolf King, why don't you just make a price? Except for Yun Wuzhen, we can't negotiate, and other prices are easy to negotiate." Yu Fangqing knew that she was in the wrong, so she simply didn't defend herself. She never caused other troubles for herself when she could solve things with money.
Ao Wu wants more than just property: "The compensation is certainly indispensable, but before that, I want all the mermaids involved to break their legs and take this as a warning to never set foot on land."
Mermaids are different from other orcs. The legs in human form do not correspond to the beast form. Therefore, even if the legs are broken, the life in the water will not be affected after transforming back into a mermaid. But the punishment cannot be considered light, after all, most of them
Mermaids spend half of their lives on land and islands. Breaking their legs means they permanently lose the ability to walk on land.
The mermaid tribe behind Yu Fangqing did not expect that Ao Wu would open his mouth with such harsh conditions, and they all took a deep breath.
Yu Fangqing lost her smile and said in a deep voice, "What if I refuse?"
Ao Wu frowned: "At the meeting of the seven royal clans, I will bring evidence and hand it over to trial for violating the oath of the seven royal clans. And declare war on the mermaid clan on the grounds that the mermaid clan broke the promise first."
"Just because of this little thing, you want to break the thousand-year peace of the mainland?" Yu Fangqing thought that Ao Wu was not easy to mess with, but she didn't expect that he would be so merciless in his attack.
"The blood and pride of the Frostwolf clan cannot be trampled on." Ao Wu stared at Yu Fangqing: "And please understand, Master Yu, that if a war breaks out, you will be the culprit to break the peace."
"Island Master, I am willing to be punished." Yu Meng suddenly knelt down behind Yu Fangqing: "If it really comes to the meeting of the seven royal clans, it will not be a matter of the Evernight Island alone. Compared with the safety of the entire mermaid clan, this subordinate
The next two legs are not worth mentioning."
"I am willing to be punished." The mermaid behind Yu Meng knelt on the ground.
"I understand." Yu Fangqing was quiet for a moment: "Everyone, get up."
Yu Meng and his men stood up again and stood quietly. They stood quietly behind Yu Fangqing, waiting for her words.
Yu Fangqing pondered for a moment and looked at Ao Wu: "This incident happened because of me. They were just following orders. Why don't I cut off my legs and never leave the Nightless Island? I wonder if His Highness the Wolf King will accept this explanation?"
"
"Island Master, no!" Yu Meng raised his head suddenly and stepped forward to grab Yu Fangqing: "My subordinate's life is worthless and cannot be compared with that of the Island Master. If the Island Master cuts off his legs for his subordinate, he will have no choice but to commit suicide in shame.
"
Ao Wu didn't say anything and let them discuss it.
Hang Shiqi usually has a simple and soft character, but now he looked around and showed no intention to help and beg for mercy. In his heart, Yu Meng was an enemy, and sympathizing with the enemy was only for a fool. Besides, when Yu Meng helped the cocoon rat, it was not right.
They were soft-hearted. With Hang Shiqi's grudge-holding character, it was good that they didn't add fuel to the fire.
Shuang Yu had never experienced such a cruel thing, and she couldn't bear to see it, but when she thought of her dead brother, her heart became cold again.
In the end, Yu Fangqing nodded. The group, including Yu Meng, who had participated in the assassination of the mermaid, cut off their legs and swam back to the Evernight Island along the waterway.
After making this decision, Yu Fangqing's beautiful face looked a bit dim: "So, is His Highness the Wolf King satisfied?"
But there was no joy in Ao Wu's eyes: "People cannot be resurrected after death. No matter how much you pay, it will never be 'satisfactory' for the deceased and their relatives."
Asking the mermaid to pay the price is not to vent hatred, nor to enjoy the pleasure of revenge, but to warn future generations. The blood and pride of the Frostwolf cannot be trampled on. If you dare to come, you must be prepared to be severely retaliated.
Ao Jing handed over a scroll at the right time: "In addition, the compensation list has been drawn up. Lord Yu will take a look at it. If there are no problems, then let's leave it as it is."
Yu Fangqing simply scanned the list. They were all things that could only be found in the sea, such as seaweed, fish and shells used for medicinal purposes, and pearls. They were very valuable, but compared to the legs of his confidants, they were easier to accept.
many.
There are also three other things that are quite special, one is ten water-avoiding pills, one is three dendrobium plants, and the other is three hundred rainbow fish.
After taking the water-avoiding pill, people can move freely underwater. In the past, Yun Wuzhen was fed this kind of thing when he lived on the seabed. The water-avoiding pill is cumbersome to make and the output is not high. It is mainly provided to those who are married to mermaids.
If you are a foreigner, there is almost no price but no market outside.
Dendrobium is a highly poisonous aquatic plant. It is the main raw material for making poison that will seal the throat when bleeding occurs. This poison is usually applied on weapons or the tips of claws. Once bleeding occurs during an attack, the toxin will quickly spread along the blood.
Taking human life in a very short time. Because of the danger, it is not usually sold outside.
However, Ao Wu didn't want much of these two things, and he wasn't worried about the threat he would pose to the mermaid tribe. Yu Fangqing nodded and gave them to her. What made her more curious was the third one: "You want so many rainbow fish to make it?"
What, this fish is very troublesome to catch, and the most important thing is that besides tasting good, it has no other advantages."
Ao Wu: “It’s delicious. That’s enough.”
Yu Fangqing was a little surprised. Ao Wu acted so forcefully and indifferently, but it didn't seem like he cared about food and drink. She not only suspected some other conspiracy.
Until the beautiful silver-haired young man next to him shook his tail and said, "You gave it to me, right? This is what I asked for, right?"
Ao Wu's eyes softened and the chill in his body subsided. He stretched out his hand and pinched the young man's ear: "No, I feed the greedy cat."
Hang Shiqi felt that Ao Wu was scolding him and protested: "I'm not a greedy cat!"
Ao Wu: "It's not you."
Hang Shiqi was unsure again: "Who is that? Do you have a cat?"
"I raised one," Ao Wu said.
Hang Shiqi: "How come I haven't seen it before? When was it raised? What does it look like?"
Ao Wu looked at him and smiled: "This greedy cat is very stupid. It went to the river to catch fish by itself in the winter, and was almost caught and eaten by the fish. I picked it up and carried it back."
Hang Shiqi: "That's not very smart. Does it look good?"
Ao Wu nodded: "It's good-looking. It has silver fur, a thick tail, pointed ears, and blue eyes."
Hang Shiqi thought, isn't that very similar to me, and then quickly recalled that the first time he made Ao Wu angry, it was not because he went to the river to catch fish. So he widened his eyes and bared his teeth at Ao Wu.
Several low laughs escaped from Ao Wu's throat, and he coaxed: "Don't go to the river to catch fish anymore. If you want to eat fish, tell me and I will pick out delicious ones and bring them to you, okay?"
Hang Shiqi lost his anger again and licked the corners of his mouth happily: "Then how delicious is this rainbow fish?"
Ao Wu: "I heard it is the most delicious fish in the sea."
Hang Shiqi swallowed his saliva and thought, that must be delicious indeed.
Yu Fangqing, who was stuffed with a mouthful of dog food:...
