"What are you doing!" An Yiran twisted her body desperately, struggling, trying to get away. But I don’t know what material this net is made of. It is extremely hard and I can’t break free no matter what.
After a period of fierce struggle, An Yiran, whose magic power was already weak, completely lost his strength. It was difficult to maintain his human form, let alone cast a spell to break free now.
Being held hostage by everyone, she slowly lost her strength and collapsed to the ground. Her legs slowly turned into huge fish tails, leaving only her eyes that were still unwilling to stare at Luo Yao.
Luo Yao didn't want to look into her eyes anymore, so she slowly turned her head away to avoid her sight.
Some people who have read the book recognized her by the color of her tail. "According to the records in the book, this woman is not a shark, but a mermaid. Mermaids are vicious and bloodthirsty, while mermaids can turn into pearls when they cry."
"That's it!" Zheng Baomin pressed his palms tightly. "Our country is in crisis right now. I wonder if you, girl, can give us some pearls to help us."
"No." She said coldly.
"If I told you to let me go now and I would go back and get it for you, would you be willing?"
"No." Zheng Baomin refused.
The greedy citizens around her were looking at her as if they wanted to tear her apart, and they were unwilling to let her go.
"Girl, you just need to shed a few tears..." Someone around advised her.
"Whether I cry or not, it's all my wealth, and I make it clear now that I can't cry, and I don't want to."
Everyone was waiting for Zheng Baomin to come up with a solution, and he looked embarrassed and very confused, but in fact he had already made up his mind.
"In this case, it is very offending. For the sake of the people and the country, Zheng can only dedicate himself. When the time comes, he will explain the reason to His Majesty and resign to apologize!"
"grown ups!"
"Master Zheng!" Everyone was trying to persuade him, but he said that I had made up my mind.
What Zheng Baomin was thinking in his heart was that if he kept this mermaid in his house, wouldn't he have countless wealth? Why would he have to go to court fearfully?
After all, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, if you don't do it right, you may lose your head.
It's time for him to enjoy his old age.
But An Yiran felt that his high-sounding words were really ridiculous, and he really had to finish all the good things he said. Use her things for your own use? Are you going to take credit from her?
It's easy to say that if you ask for forgiveness when the time comes, I'm afraid the emperor will not only not blame him, but also reward him with countless gold and silver treasures.
"In this case, it's a lot of offense. Someone will take him away and put him in jail first."
"He Min." She called out his name with her only strength, and then passed out completely.
When he woke up again, he had been thrown into prison. The various torture instruments hanging on the wall made her feel cold after being poured with a basin of water, but the basin of water also gave her a sense of relief.
"Miss, you just need to cry, why bother?"
"roll."
Zheng Baomin dug his ears and picked up the fire tongs from the brazier, his greasy eyes wandering up and down An Yiran.
"I just like to hear people cry. If you don't cry now, don't blame me if you can't stop crying later."
She spat in Zheng Baomin's face, "I told you, I can't cry."
Her broken hair looked very fragile and weak against her pale face, and her red lips had lost all color.
Zheng Baomin raised the iron in his hand and pressed it hard on An Yiran's snow-like arm, which caused a large piece of flesh to stick off.
She gritted her teeth and felt the taste of blood filling her mouth. Even so, she really held back from crying or screaming.
After repeating it several times, her arm seemed to be peeled off, revealing the flesh and blood inside.
Zheng Baomin looked at the person next to him and said, "Go and post notices throughout the city. Anyone who can make her cry will be rewarded."
He threw the branding iron in his hand into the brazier, and sparks flew out of the brazier.
"Let's see how long you can keep talking."
The next day, this notice was posted, causing an uproar throughout the city. This woman's mouth is so tough that a reward is offered to make her cry.
Therefore, many people are eager to try. If they succeed, they will be rich and prosperous. Even if they fail, it will be nothing. It's not them who are hurt.
There was bloodthirsty cruelty in their eyes, but there were words of apology in their mouths.
An Yiran only felt that such a scene was really ironic. If he had listened to his father and not gone to sea, wouldn't so many things have happened?
Her fingers tightly grasped the wooden board under her body, and the people who came pried off her fish scales one after another.
They also heard that mermaids are full of treasures, and thought that the fish scales were also valuable, but in fact, this kind of thing was simply priceless to anyone other than collectors.
Moreover, the originally gorgeous fish scales became dull the moment they were separated from his body, just like the scales taken off from a big fish, turning into a dull gray color.
Luo Yao had never been here to see her. She also wanted to come here, but she didn't dare.
She had secretly seen An Yiran's current appearance at the corner. She was originally quiet and elegant, but now she looked completely different.
Luo Yao actually felt guilty and a little proud in her heart. Even though she is beautiful, she is not like a piece of meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
Luo Yao realized her ridiculous idea, and she suddenly felt more guilty. She vowed that she would pray to the Bodhisattva day and night for the rest of her life and kneel before the Buddha to confess to her, but not now.
The last fish scales were pulled out, the fins around her waist were cut into pieces, her fish ears were pierced, and she was covered in devastation.
She closed her eyes, not wanting to look at this world again. In the end, He Min still couldn't find her.
When He Min realized that An Yiran was gone, he immediately thought that she had slipped out to play, so she didn't pay much attention.
Even after one night, he still hadn't come back, and Haihuang and He Min were looking for him like crazy.
"Miss Luoyao, has Xiaoyi come to see you?"
Luo Yao looked at He Wei's face and was not only a little addicted to his gentleness, but when she thought of An Yiran's current appearance, she suddenly shuddered.
"No, what's wrong?" She made a fool of herself.
"Nothing." He Min frowned. She was just a human friend, so where could she be if she wasn't here?
An Yiran closed her eyes heavily, and breathed her last forever with humiliation and reluctance.
It wasn't until a long time later that the guards watching at night realized that she seemed to be dead, so they hurried to notify Zheng Baomin.
"Taotao, I feel so miserable for her."
"Ooooh, Xiaoran, please stop talking!"
