Transmigrating and Raising Children: I'll Make Earth's Delicacies Go Viral

Chapter 224 - 224: Suppression



When Loya made her appearance in the tish-scaled dress, the mermaids glared at her with anger.

They were taken aback by the audacity of the royal family, allowing the princess to wear a fish-scaled dress despite the mermaids’ ongoing protest.

Under the scorching afternoon sun, Loya’s dress shimmered with a kaleidoscope of colors. However, the crowd below had no interest in admiring such radiance.

As the guards brought forward a little mermaid, the fury among the mermaids grew stronger.

“Release the child!”

“Reject the use of human fish scales!”

“Boycott Princess of Dawn and the entire royal family!”

The calls for boycott grew louder and more resolute. Loya took several deep breaths, gradually regaining her composure.

She understood that if she faltered now, the king might abandon her to appease the merfolk’s rage. She had to resolve the situation herself.

With great effort, she controlled her steps and approached the little mermaid, one step at a time. Using delicate diamond tweezers, she gingerly plucked a scale from the little one’s tail.

The young mermaid let out a heartbreaking wail. Due to his incomplete development, his cries were still in the ultrasonic range, piercing the ears of those below.

In an instant, the entire crowd held their breath, including Loya.

Her right hand trembled, and tears streamed from the little mermaid’s eyes, forming glistening pearls on the ground.

At that moment, Loya could no longer bear it. However, when she glanced at the king standing above, his gaze icy and unyielding, she steeled her resolve and pulled forcefully.

“Ah!” The little mermaid’s scream echoed through the air.

Loya endured the discomfort, her heart aching, as she raised the scale she had extracted.

“Mermaids are meant to serve the royal family. Your current demonstration is nothing short of rebellion! If you persist in your stubbornness, this little mermaid will continue to suffer on your behalf! He will be the consequence you bring upon yourselves!”

Her voice quivered, and she dared not meet the angry mermaids’ gazes, keeping her eyes fixed on the distance.

After a few moments of silence, enraged roars erupted from the merfolk.

“Release him! Release him!”

“You heartless princess, how could you treat a child like this?”

“Do you possess any shred of compassion? Let the child go!”

In that moment, the crowd was no longer solely comprised of mermaids. Zergs and other civilians had joined the throng. They glared at Loya with anger, and some were even on the verge of pushing past the guards to attack the royal castle.

Witnessing the mermaid rebellion, a trace of ruthlessness flickered in Loya’s eyes. She swiftly approached the little mermaid and extracted another fish scale.

The already despondent crowd grew even angrier, their shouts rising and falling.

Yet, as Loya continued to pluck the scales from the little mermaid, and as his cries persisted, the mermaids’ enraged roars gradually subsided.

As for Loya, her face was now streaked with blue mermaid blood. The blood stained her exquisite attire, and in the twilight’s glow, Loya transformed into a fierce scarlet figure, a symbol of both beauty and ruthlessness.

With no more angry shouts to be heard, she ceased her actions, kicking the discarded scales on the ground.

“As expected, you all need to learn a lesson.” Loya wiped the blood from her face with the back of her hand. “Since you understand what’s good for you, I shall release this little mermaid.”

With a dismissive wave, the guard tossed the little mermaid down the stairs. The mermaids below instinctively formed a human wall and caught the weakened creature.

Without casting a backward glance, Loya strode back toward the castle.

Little did she know that the scenes witnessed by the rebel army’s spies had already been captured, documenting the events of the royal family’s actions that day, causing a huge commotion on the Internet.

The spy positioned himself at the forefront, standing in close proximity to the scene. With a miniature camera, he captured the events unfolding at the location, including the torturous treatment inflicted upon the little mermaid, causing her to appear unrecognizable.

Within a matter of minutes, the video garnered billions of views. Liao Ning clenched her fists tightly as she watched the distressing footage.

Tina voiced her anger, “This is absolutely outrageous! The royal family is still engaged in the practice of raising mermaids!”

Although the royal family had long issued a decree strictly forbidding the private keeping of mermaids, they hadn’t anticipated that the little mermaids would be showcased in front of the public on this day.

Previously, the king had gained the support of many mermaids by implementing the ban on mermaid rearing. However, if he now sought to suppress the mermaids, it would undoubtedly backfire.

“We must expedite our plan,” stated Li Xian, his gaze fixed on Liao Ning. “We require your assistance..”
