Quick Transmigration: Cannon Fodder's Daily Rise to Power and Face-Slapping

Chapter 122 Slapping the Face of the Vicious Hostage (Part 14)

Miaomiao had just come of age, and she originally wanted to take a look at the sea area designated by her tribe.

On the way, she saw the prince and watched him swim towards the distant sea. Out of curiosity, she followed him from a distance.

Although she noticed that the sea the prince went to was outside the designated area, she still boldly followed him.

She swam to the surface of the sea and didn't come back down for a long time, so she swam to the surface to look for him out of concern.

She never expected that after swimming to the surface of the sea, she would not find the prince, but instead encounter humans.

She hadn't had time to participate in the clan's training, so neither her strength nor the sharpness of her nails was sufficient.

She was unable to break free of the fishing net that the humans had placed over her, and she was trapped inside the net and taken to the wooden boat by the humans.

Later, humans brought it to this dilapidated wooden house.

She had heard her people talk about the existence of humans, intelligent beings who lived on the continent.

She thought that after communicating with these humans, they would send her back to the sea, but she never expected them to treat her like this.

After Oning left, the remaining servants looked at each other, unsure how to get any information about the merfolk.

Attendant A walked slowly to a spot not far from Miaomiao. "You heard it too. Our Prince Aoning wants to invite your people to be his guests. Tell me about your people so I can go and invite them."

Miao Miao already knew from Aoning's tone that his intention to invite her people was definitely not a good thing.

Moreover, her mother had told her that the merfolk did not want to be exposed to humans.

They live in the deep sea, while humans live on the land; the best outcome is for them not to interfere with each other.

No matter what her reason, Miaomiao would not tell humans about her people. So she glanced at the servant in front of her and then silently lowered her head.

Now her arms are tied behind her back by humans, and her fish tail is wrapped with ropes, so she has no way to break free and escape.

When A saw that Miaomiao did not answer him, he wanted to torture her, but another servant pulled him back.

"I read in a book that legendary mermaids are extremely protective and united creatures. If you hurt her, her people will surely make sure you die a horrible death," the servant said fearfully.

Upon hearing this, A showed no fear on his face, but rather was filled with excitement.

"Isn't that great? If her people come looking for us, then we can invite them over, which will also fulfill the task assigned by Prince Oning!"

Upon hearing this, the servant took a step back. "I will not lay a hand on her. If you insist on torturing her, then go ahead and do it. Don't blame me for not warning you later."

Jia Yi glanced at him disdainfully, "Her strength is so weak, how strong can her people be? You're overthinking it."

After Jia finished speaking, he picked up a harpoon next to him and gestured at Miaomiao while saying, "Your face is the most beautiful face I've ever seen, so I won't hurt your face."

"If you don't tell me about your people, then I'll have to deal with you. You'd better think it over!"

Upon hearing this, Miaomiao raised her head and looked at Jia Yi with a cold smile.

In the past, she might have worried about her people being harmed by humans.

But now, all the adult young fish in the tribe have been trained, making it impossible for humans to harm them.

Thinking of this, Miaomiao felt a little disappointed. She was supposed to participate in training tomorrow, and after training, she would definitely not be as weak as she is now, nor would she be captured by these humans.

So she glared angrily at Jia Yi and said, "Go ahead and come, and see if my people will spare you afterwards!"

Jia grinned menacingly and was about to stab Miao Miao's fish tail with a harpoon when he was stopped by a servant beside him.

Miaomiao is so cute, he really can't bear to hurt her.

He whispered to Jia Yi, "Why don't we tell Prince Aoning that her people are in the sea we encountered earlier?"

"Afterwards, let Prince Oning lead us to that sea, and we'll find a way to lure her people out, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Jia put down the harpoon in his hand. "How do we lure her people out?"

“If we hoist her onto the fishing boat, her people will see it and come to rescue her. Then our mission will be accomplished.”

Upon hearing this, Jia stroked his chin and pondered for a moment. He thought it was a good idea.

Even if they found out where the mermaid's people were, the vast ocean wouldn't allow them to pinpoint their exact location.

It would be better to let her people come to her on their own initiative, which would save them a lot of trouble.

So Jia Yi instructed the remaining servants to keep an eye on the mermaid, and he reported the matter to Prince Aoning.

Jia stepped out of the dilapidated wooden house; it was already late at night.

In order not to disturb the sleeping Prince Aoning, Jia Yi decided to report the matter to him at dawn the next day.

In the dead of night, Leng Yuexing was startled awake. For an ancestor in the Tribulation Transcending stage, all his premonitions and intuitions were things that had already happened or were about to happen.

He felt that something had happened, but he didn't know exactly what it was. He sat up in bed and stared out the window, lost in thought.

He read the message the sapling had given him again, because he had arrived in the human world a month late.

At this point in his previous life, the Chosen One, Yun Sheng, overheard Elian and Onin's conversation. He was preparing to return to the sea, but the two discovered his identity as a mermaid. After that, Onin began to prepare to hunt mermaids.

In this life, because he appeared late, he had just met the two of them.

He didn't reveal his mermaid identity to them; instead, he was mistaken for a god by the humans, and everything seemed to be going in a good direction.

He glanced at the sapling and saw that it was only a small part of the Heavenly Child's fortune being absorbed by it; the majority of it was still with the outsider, Aoning.

If he's not mistaken, it must be that Oning did something to harm the merfolk, which gave him this bad feeling.

He decided to observe Oning closely these days to see what he had done.

Leng Yuexing sat by the window all night until the first light of dawn appeared outside, then he got up to wash up.

Meanwhile, Jia Yi was already waiting outside Aoning's door.

When Aoning finished washing up and instructed the servants to come in, Jia Yi followed the servants in.

Knowing that Jia Yi had something to report, Aoning dismissed the other servants from the room, leaving only Jia Yi behind.

Jia Yi told Aoning about his suggestion to capture the mermaid.

After thinking for a moment, Oning said, "Your suggestion is good, but it would be better to bring Elian with me if we were to capture mermaids. With his help, my return to the Kingdom of Auburn will be much smoother."

“We just set sail yesterday, and Erian shouldn’t be going out to sea again anytime soon. Keep an eye on that mermaid in the meantime, and bring her along when we go out to sea again.”

After Aoning finished speaking, Jia Yi respectfully agreed, and then left the room when Aoning gave no further instructions.

Aoning waited for more than half a month, during which Leng Yuexing observed Aoning but found nothing.

According to records from the last voyage, the steel ship is preparing to set sail again after half a month of maintenance.

This time, Onin set sail with all his servants and Elian.

Jia Yi put Miao Miao into a sealed water tank and, under the cover of other servants, took her onto the ship.

Leng Yuexing accepted Erian's invitation and boarded the ship with him as it prepared to depart.

Aoning looked at Leng Yuexing with a good mood and said, "I have a surprise for you today."

Today, he not only wants to catch the mermaid, but also expose Leng Yuexing to her face.

He wanted to tell Ellian that Cold Moon Star was not an incarnation of a god, but merely a mermaid-like creature.
