Your Majesty, the princess ran away again!

Chapter 197: Pearls Falling from the Sky

"Okay, I get it. Don't cry first. I will avenge you." The mermaid legend is true. These little pearls all over the ground are so pitiful.

How could a man like this, a mermaid, be taller than her if he stood up? "Okay, let me see your wounds. Stop crying. Look at your wounds where the little pearls fell. They are all covered with pearls. It will be hard to heal and you will get scars."

"Really? Then I won't cry anymore." The little mermaid wiped the tears that had not yet turned into pearls from the corners of her eyes, and she really stopped crying.

It seems that he pays a lot of attention to his appearance. The high priest in the water felt that his body was getting colder and colder, especially the soles of his feet. There was always a chill drilling up from the bottom. "I said, I'll tell you where the antidote is, and you pull me up."

"Tsk, look at you. I asked you to speak before but you didn't. Now that you want to speak, I don't want to listen. Tsk, with my ability, do I need you to tell me?" Mu Nanyan used cotton dipped in disinfectant to wipe the little mermaid's wound.

"Be good and don't move." Mu Nanyan held his fish tail. The wound here was more difficult to treat, mainly because the flesh under the scales was damaged. She didn't want to pull out his scales. How could the fish survive without scales?

The mermaid blushed. No one except his parents had ever touched his tail. It felt weird. Jun Zhuoyuan noticed the fish's expression, let go of the person in his hand, and walked over angrily, "Yanyan, let me see first. It hurts a lot here."

"Really? That's impossible. There's absolutely no problem with my potion. Give your hand here so I can see it." Mu Nanyan put down the fish tail and turned to look at Jun Zhuoyuan's hand.

The mermaid looked at Jun Zhuoyuan with resentment. This man was treacherous and was trying to snatch someone from him. "Sister, look at me first, not him."

Mu Nanyan was really choked when she heard the word "sister", and it sounded so sweet. Jun Zhuoyuan didn't think so. This stinky fish actually dared to snatch it openly.

In order to avoid a fight, Mu Nanyan decided to see Jun Zhuoyuan first. Even though she knew he was pretending, she had to give him a perfunctory look. "I've seen it. Your wound is not a big problem. His is more serious. I don't understand the body structure of mermaids. I'm not sure if it can be completely cured. Let me see him first."

Jun Zhuoyuan looked at the mermaid provocatively and said, "Look~ This is my woman. Even if I call you sister, you have to move back."

When Mu Nanyan turned around, she saw the mermaid lowering her head, with little pearls dropping down. "Okay, stop crying. Tell me why you provoked him. When you see him, you have to call him brother-in-law."

The mermaid raised her head and blinked her eyes, then called Jun Zhuoyuan "brother-in-law" in a submissive manner. Jun Zhuoyuan's originally gloomy mood disappeared immediately, thinking that this fish was very considerate.

Mu Nanyan put on her gloves again and used tweezers to pick the pearl out of the flesh bit by bit. The wound was not deep, but the worm in the flesh could not be found and could not be eradicated.

The high priest struggled desperately in the water, his strength becoming weaker and weaker. When Mu Nanyan heard the change, she went to pull him out and asked, "How is it, high priest? Is this bath good?"

The high priest curled up on the ground, trembling. The dose of poison Mu Nanyan used was not large enough to kill him directly, but it would not make him feel good either.

Mu Nanyan pinched his chin and looked at him, "You know why you are still alive now. Stand on my side. You still have a chance. Don't you think so, High Priest? Anyway, you don't care about what the Rising Sun Country is like. What you care about is the things in your room."

The high priest looked horrified, "You, you dare to touch them!"

Mu Nanyan put the tip of the knife against his chin, "What's wrong? Are these things of yours very rare? If I'm not mistaken, the old emperor's longevity has something to do with you. What's on this mermaid?"

"Oh, if you can do it, just guess it yourself." The high priest had a sinister look on his face. He didn't believe that the results of so many years of research could be developed by this little girl.

"You're still not listening. I really hate arrogant people like you." Mu Nanyan found something to scoop up water from the pool and poured it on him. "Why are you the only one who's stubborn? I didn't ask many questions, and I don't care about your things. I just want to know where the little maid's relatives are?"

The high priest felt even colder, his lips trembling, "I, I said, in the treasury, but you probably won't be able to see them, they are all carefully selected nutrients by me."

Mu Nanyan was so angry that she grabbed his hair and said, "Don't lie to me about how the treasury gets its money. Lying to me will make you live a life worse than death. If you tell the truth, I can give you a quick death." Mu Nanyan didn't hide it anymore. She didn't want to pretend with him anymore, as if she was a little white rabbit.

Jun Zhuoyuan drew the soft sword from his waist, crossed his arms and looked at him, ready to attack at any time. Seeing that he hadn't spoken yet, Mu Nanyan lost her patience and threw him into the pool again, "Don't think about it. No one can cure my poison except me."

"You, you are a poisonous body." The high priest finally reacted and asked why he had never seen her poison someone. So this was the reason.

Mu Nanyan smiled lightly, "You discovered it. I didn't expect that there are other people in this world who know it. We can be considered as acquaintances who do not know each other. Let me give you a quick death."

The high priest closed his eyes. He was completely doomed today. He didn't expect that after so many years of studying poison, he would encounter a legendary physique. "It's under this pool."

"Do it." After getting the answer, Mu Nanyan didn't plan to continue to torture him. Time was limited. She was not sure how long the mermaid could last, and whether the potion she researched would be useful to the mermaid.

Jun Zhuoyuan dealt with the high priest neatly, "Yan Yan has dealt with it, come and praise me."

Mu Nanyan looked at him in confusion. What was this man doing today? Why was he so——excited?

Mu Nanyan didn't plan to pay attention to him. If she paid too much attention to him, he would develop bad habits. Jun Zhuoyuan pestered her from behind, "Yanyan, why don't you say anything? Don't you love me anymore?"

"Where did you learn all this? You must be sensitive if you do this every day!" Mu Nanyan pushed him away and found a button by the pool. She detoxified the water and the water became transparent.

The mermaid on the shore excitedly waved her tail, making a loud noise. "Don't worry, you can't get into the water yet. I'm going to go down and take a look. I'll take you back to the sea later."

"Oh, by the way, do you still have any tribesmen here?" Mu Nanyan drained the water from the pool, and the gate at the bottom of the pool was revealed.

Mu Nanyan asked: "Are you, a... uh, fish, afraid of yourself?"

The mermaid shook her tail and said, "Don't be afraid, sister. All the tribesmen I have seen are gone."

"Okay, I got it. I'll definitely be back soon, don't worry." Mu Nanyan wet Jun Zhuoyuan's coat and covered his fishtail with it, "This way you won't be short of water."

"Sister is still the best~" The mermaid was shaking her tail excitedly.

"Let's go, Yanyan." This dead fish only knows how to seduce other people's wives. He should be thrown back into the sea as soon as possible, so as not to affect his pursuit of his wife.

Mu Nanyan left him a scalpel for self-defense and followed Jun Zhuoyuan underground. It was like a world of difference between the above and below. One could not tell that there was such a place underground. Gold was piled up like a mountain on top and there was something like a large altar in the middle. Mu Nanyan walked towards the middle and there was a hollow sound under her feet. There was still space underground.

Mu Nanyan gave Jun Zhuoyuan a look, and Jun Zhuoyuan understood it immediately. After Mu Nanyan retreated, he used his internal energy to smash the ground with a palm, "pa pa pa" -

"Good inner strength, not bad!"

It turns out Yanyan likes this. Jun Zhuoyuan was surprised by the scene underground. "Yanyan, what is this?"

Mu Nanyan approached. Uh, she had never seen it before. No wonder the high priest said these people were nutrients. What were they feeding? Plants or animals? In short, it was a monster. Its lower body grew in the soil and its upper body was shaped like a human. It was chewing something in its mouth, a bit like a human foot.

"This must be a mutation." Mu Nanyan jumped down the stairs. The monster spat out the things in its mouth and came towards her with its fangs and claws.

"Yan Yan——" Jun Zhuoyuan didn't even bother to call out to her.

"Don't come down, I can do it. Here is the secret of their longevity." Mu Nanyan was ready to attack. When the monster was about to touch her, Mu Nanyan didn't even make a move, and the monster retreated on its own.

What is this situation, "Oops!"

"What's wrong with Yanyan?" Jun Zhuoyuan shouted with his butt sticking up. It was dark down there and he couldn't see the situation clearly. He didn't dare to go down rashly for fear of affecting Mu Nanyan's plan.

"It's okay, I was just dazed by the pearl. This one seems to be a member of the mermaid's tribe." Mu Nanyan squatted in the corner with an umbrella. The pearl was much bigger than the little mermaid.
