My God, I am the emperor, the lord of mankind.

Chapter 431 Shark Girl

"Good man——"

Looking in front of him, there was almost no good flesh on his body. The flesh and blood were turned out, revealing the dense white bones behind him, but he could still maintain the most basic composure.

Zhu Houcong praised the Tieling garrison who said that the skin in front of him was almost rotten and cracked by the highly corrosive blood of the shark zombies.

As he spoke, he extended his index finger to the ferocious face in front of him.

"It might hurt a little!"

Zhu Houcong reminded.

"I'm not even afraid of death at the end of this trip. Are you still afraid of these things?"

With a flash of green light, the wounds on Fan He's face began to heal.

The sores hiding pus and blood burst open.

Itching and pain mixed together.

Fan He gritted his teeth to avoid making a mistake in front of the emperor.

Seeing that Fan He's injuries were gone, Guo Xun's face showed a bit of joy.

He took off the basket from behind and handed it to Zhu Houcong, who had just finished examining Fan He's body and was looking thoughtful.

"The vanguard soldiers of the government army have fulfilled their mission and captured the shark girl to present to His Majesty. I hope that the emperor will soon stabilize the world."

"The imperial court should live up to those who have made merit——"

Zhu Houcong looked at the skinny shark girl crawling out of the basket.

Thinking that out of a group of twelve Imperial Guards traveling eastward, only Guo Xu was left alive, he looked a little sad.

"You are the same shark girl."

Hearing the words of the incredibly powerful young man in front of him.

The girl, who was severely malnourished and had difficulty even walking, could only crawl on the edge of the bamboo basket and nodded hurriedly.

He was afraid that the next moment Zhu Houcong would be unhappy and burn himself to ashes like the immortal before.

"Yes, my tears can turn into pearls like my sister. Please! Don't kill me! I can sell it for a lot of money! Don't kill me!"

The girl in front of her looked at the civil and military generals in front of her. The painful memories once again attacked her mind. Her voice trembled and her whole body was stiff. She grabbed the edge of the basket with both hands. Because of the excessive force, there was no flesh and blood, only the The bones and skin of the fingers became increasingly pale.

Just like today, a few years ago a group of richly dressed nobles came here.

In order to find immortals and visit the Tao, they bought their sister from a fisherman at a high price.

She watched with her own eyes how they carefully treated her sister while she was still alive, bleeding and peeling her skin. With the melodious sound of the big bell, they fished out the delicious flesh and bones from the ancient bronze cauldron and placed them in front of them. The ritual begins with eating.

Originally, the villagers were unwilling to sell the shark girl, who could give birth to pearls, to these nobles from Han.

But maybe they were afraid of the warriors with armor and swords beside these nobles who came on horseback.

Or maybe my sister has been unable to produce pearls for a long time since she fell in love with a man in the village.

Those noble people had eaten up all the delicacies of the East China Sea and were still not satisfied.

They also selected twenty pairs of boys and girls from the village, bought them forcibly, and threw them into the copper furnace.

Facing the villagers who wanted to resist and protect their property, they showed their swords without hesitation and threatened everyone to obey their orders.

They claimed to be descendants of the Yin and Shang royal families, and they came from the land of Bashu just to be able to ascend like their ancestors by cooking men and women and eating the world's treasures.

To this end, they do not hesitate to use any terrible means.

In this barbaric land that is difficult to reach by the tentacles of the Ming Empire.

All order is false.

Etiquette and morality will be easily crushed to dust in the face of violence.

The nobles stayed here for three days, and on the third day, Guo Xun and others arrived.

He killed these wealthy people from Bashu and tortured the villagers about the whereabouts of the last shark girl. And when Zhu Houcong asked Guo Xun how he was sure that these villagers also raised another shark girl.

"The merchants who resold the Mermaid Tears in the border market told us that the quality of the Mermaid Tears in the hands of these fishermen had significantly improved three months ago. This is obviously impossible. After all, they are really just ordinary fishermen. That’s all.”

There is the secret protection of the Immortal.

The local forces did not dare to snatch the shark girls from these fishermen for profit.

That is to say, because the Ming court has been too strict in recent years, they have to travel thousands of miles outside the Ming Dynasty to buy rare men and women. The wealthy people of Bashu who practice evil skills dare to directly rob the shark girls regardless of the situation.

Zhu Houcong nodded.

He did not ask why the businessmen in that city would take the initiative to tell Guo Xun this.

Obviously, out of fear of the Immortals and wariness of outsiders like Guo Xun.

These forbidden troops who entered the Ming Dynasty must have used some tricks to force the smuggling merchants on the border of the Ming Dynasty to honestly explain everything they knew.

And I heard that this shark girl had been abused since she was a child, otherwise she would not be so malnourished, and what happened a few days ago obviously caused a certain amount of mental damage to her, and she has not fully recovered until now.

Zhu Houcong looked at the trembling Shark girl in front of him.

He asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

"How did the Shark Girl's tears turn into pearls?"

"The Shark Girl's tears are the essence of the sun and the moon, and cannot be produced easily. Every time a new Shark Girl's tear is born, it will cause irreversible damage to it. Moreover, the Shark Girl cannot actively control this process and must make it feel the ultimate pain." Fear and sadness must not—”

As he spoke, Guo Xun raised his head and looked at the expressionless Zhu Houcong next to him.

He put down the hemostatic medicine that Gao Lin had just handed over.

replied.

This is also the reason why he did not immediately demonstrate to the emperor the technique he learned from the fishermen to obtain the Mermaid Tears after receiving the emperor's inquiry.

After all, others don't know the emperor's nature. As a distinguished nobleman and a close servant of the imperial army, how can he not know it?

Although this shark girl has been regarded as a different species since ancient times.

It is no different from those heavenly and earthly treasures like dragons, pearls, and phoenix livers in the eyes of the wealthy and nobles.

But in terms of appearance, except for the fish scales on his body, he is no different from ordinary people.

If we were to put on a show in front of the emperor, how could these shark girls be so instinctively frightened that they would burst into tears due to their extreme mental breakdown?

Guo Xun very much suspected that the next second he would be sent to Tieling and Fanhe to eat snow in the ice fields by Long Yan's furious emperor.

After hearing Guo Xun's words, Zhu Houcong was silent.

If you want to find traces of the ancient Xu Kingdom, you must have the blood of the shark girl and a lot of shark tears.

But to torture a innocent mortal like this.

Zhu Houcong thought he couldn't do it.

"Your Majesty, I have collected enough Mermaid Tears from various places with the North Korean officials before coming here. Your Majesty does not need to be so worried."

Looking at the silent emperor in front of him, Guo Xun answered cautiously.

"good!"

The emperor's answer undoubtedly made Guo Xun breathe a sigh of relief.

Now that everything is ready, before setting off to find the ancient Xu Kingdom that was lost in the deep sea.

Zhu Houcong turned his head and looked at Fan He beside him.

asked.

"This trip is dangerous. If you have any difficulties, please tell us in advance. The imperial court will arrange a home for you and support your parents and children."
