Chapter 1281: The Mermaid Princess's Concern

As the Mermaid Princess spoke, Kuteng's expression stiffened, and he subconsciously halted his movements.

Seeing this, the Mermaid Princess shifted her gaze, letting it fall upon Haishan, and said indifferently, "Haishan plotted everything today, intending to harm Tianyu; this point is already quite clear."

"Conspiring against a fellow clansman is a capital offense."

"Let Elder Kuteng handle this person."

Kuteng's expression faltered, and a look of difficulty appeared on his face, "Princess, Haishan is a blood descendant of the Great Elder of the Black Scale Lineage. If I execute him, the Great Elder..."

Before Kuteng could finish, the Mermaid Princess shook her head, cutting him off, "Anyone who violates clan rules must receive the punishment they deserve. Let alone a blood descendant of the Black Scale Lineage's Great Elder, even the Great Elder of the Gold Scale Lineage would be no exception."

"If he has any objections, he may come to find me."

Hearing this, Kuteng dared not refuse again.

The Great Elder of the Black Scale Lineage was his direct superior, whom he dared not easily offend, but he dared not offend the Mermaid Princess even more.

Since the Mermaid Princess had spoken to this extent, he no longer had the slightest room for refusal.

He could only nod and agree, "I shall strictly follow the Princess's orders."

Seeing that he had been sentenced to death, the color that had just returned to Haishan's face vanished once more.

His entire body began to tremble like a winnowing sieve.

He fell to his knees with a thud, "Princess, spare my life! It was a moment of foolishness; I should not have plotted against Tianyu."

"I beg the Princess to spare me this once."

The Mermaid Princess did not even glance at Haishan, her gaze sweeping indifferently over his two lackeys, "These two shall be exiled to the mining area to serve as Mine Slaves for a hundred years."

Upon hearing this, the faces of Haishan's two lackeys turned deathly pale.

They knew very well how miserable it would be to become Mine Slaves.

It was almost no different from being a slave.

Yet, they dared not offer the slightest rebuttal.

Because this was the Princess's decision.

In the Mermaid Clan, aside from the Mermaid Empress, almost no one could contradict her.

Although becoming a Mine Slave was miserable, they would at least keep their lives.

It was still much better than Haishan's fate.

The two comforted themselves silently in their hearts, bowing to the Mermaid Princess with faces full of gratitude, "Thank you, Princess, for the sentence."

The Mermaid Princess paid no further attention to the two, her gaze shifting to look at the "Tianyu" who had fallen into a "coma" on the back of the dragon-horse.

A flash of imperceptible heartache crossed her eyes.

Her figure flickered, and she returned to the White Jade Sedan.

The next moment.

Pulled by three dragon-horses, the White Jade Sedan moved away rapidly, entering the Inner City District under the gaze of the crowd.

Not until the White Jade Sedan had completely disappeared did the crowd withdraw their gazes.

They looked at Elder Kuteng, Haishan, and Haishan's two lackeys with strange expressions, pity appearing on their faces one after another.

These two were truly unlucky.

Originally, under their arrangements, Tianyu had been in a situation of certain death.

Even if Elder Qingyun had not met with an accident and had still been looking after Tianyu as before, it would likely have been difficult to break the situation.

Who would have thought...

Tianyu had actually called upon such a supreme figure.

This was the Mermaid Princess!

The undisputed number one beauty and number one genius in the current Mermaid Clan, and a member of the highest power echelon beneath the Mermaid Empress.

Aside from the Mermaid Empress, she was one of the few people with the greatest power.

How on earth did this guy Tianyu manage to do it?

To actually be able to establish a connection with Her Highness the Princess!

With this connection.

Let alone the Black Scale Lineage, even within the Purple Scale Lineage or the Gold Scale Lineage, he would likely be able to walk sideways without fear.

From now on.

No matter who wants to plot against him, they will likely have to weigh the consequences carefully!

Ever since the Mermaid Princess appeared.

The shock on Honghe's face had not faded.

The fate of Haishan and the others made her heart tremble violently, and she kept her head lowered, not daring to make the slightest move.

Not until the Mermaid Princess left did she dare to look up.

She looked in the direction the Mermaid Princess had departed, a look of regret appearing on her face.

How could Tianyu have established a connection with Her Highness the Princess?

When did he get to know Her Highness the Princess, and why didn't she know about it?

Had she known Tianyu had this connection, why would she have walked down this path?

After returning to the Princess Mansion.

The Mermaid Princess stepped out of the White Jade Sedan, feigning composure as she waved her hand, lifting the "comatose" Tianyu from the back of the dragon-horse.

"Princess, this person is not lightly injured; should this subordinate take him away to treat his wounds?"

A woman clad in armor, full of heroic spirit, came to the Mermaid Princess's side and spoke.

"No need, I will treat his wounds myself."

The Mermaid Princess shook her head, then immediately realized her words were ambiguous; if they spread, they could easily invite unnecessary trouble, so she hurriedly added, "After he wakes up, I have important matters to ask him about immediately."

The armored woman nodded in realization upon hearing this.

Her figure flashed and vanished from sight.

After the armored woman disappeared, the Mermaid Princess brought Wang Jianqiang into her residence.

The moment she entered the residence, the look of composure she had been using as a Disguise instantly vanished.

She hurriedly placed Wang Jianqiang on a bed, rushed forward, and began checking him with a face full of nervousness.

A moment later.

She let out a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

His foundation was not damaged, and there were no overly troublesome injuries within his Soul.

She flipped her palm.

She took out a Jade Bottle and opened the stopper with a solemn expression.

Inside the Jade Bottle, there were only two crystal-clear droplets.

She tilted the bottle's mouth, and one droplet dripped out, landing on Wang Jianqiang's lips.

It transformed into a stream of pure energy and surged into Wang Jianqiang's body.

In an instant.

A force of life, pure to the extreme, permeated Wang Jianqiang's entire body.

Wang Jianqiang, who was faking unconsciousness, felt a shock in his heart.

A thought that surprised him suddenly flashed through his mind.

Could that droplet be a drop of Life Water?

Within the Mermaid Clan, there is a Life Spring.

The spring water from the Life Spring is Life Water.

Life Water contains a powerful life force and is a supreme treasure for healing.

It is just a pity.

No one knows when it started, but the Life Spring suddenly dried up.

For so many years, the Life Water preserved within the Mermaid Clan has also been almost entirely exhausted.

Nowadays, Life Water has become an irreplaceable supreme treasure.

Even when she herself was heavily injured by the Thirteenth Ancestor of the Octopus Clan previously, the Mermaid Princess could not bear to use a single drop of Life Water to heal.

Yet now, she had actually used Life Water on him without the slightest hesitation!

If the anger the Mermaid Princess showed earlier when seeing him treated unfairly and injured by others was just because she was protective of her own.

Then now, it could no longer be described by simply being protective.

What is going on?

He hadn't even taken the initiative to unleash his charm yet.

Why had the Mermaid Princess suddenly become so concerned about him?

Could it be...

That the talent he displayed in the path of Qin Music was too strong, stirring up her love for talent?

But that still wouldn't make her care about him this much.

One must know, the injuries he was using as a Disguise looked miserable, but in reality, they were not fatal.

For this level of injury, even using ordinary Pill could lead to a slow recovery; at most, it would just mean he had to suffer a bit more in the eyes of others.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly felt strange.

Could it be that she wasted a drop of Life Water, which she herself couldn't bear to use, just to make him suffer a little less?
