The cannon fodder doesn't want to accept his fate [Quick Transmigration]

The shark in the Eastern Sea lives in deep water. If its ointment is used as a lamp, the fire will not be extinguished; if its meat is used as food, it will live forever.

……

The jewels were overturned to the ground, the fine clothes were stained with filth, and the delicacies were trampled mercilessly. The blood, the pool full of blood... stained the warm jade clear pool red.

A mermaid floated dead on the water, its dim eyes full of astonishment and horror were wide open, and a drop of blood and tears hung on its pale face.

Like the fish on the chopping board, the scales of the fish were pulled out, the tail fin was cut off by a sharp blade, and the flesh and bones were also removed... The originally beautiful tail of the fish has long been ruined, and the naked fish in the blood-colored pool is white.

The human being he saved made up an extremely beautiful lie, kept him in this gorgeous cage, and killed him cruelly after he relaxed his vigilance.

Dad is right, human beings are greedy and cruel creatures.

"The mermaid exchanged her singing for a potion from the witch. After taking the potion, her fish tails became human legs..."

"Hey? Li Jue, wrong, wrong..." Xing Ran interrupted Li Jue, tilted his head and corrected seriously, "My father said that we mermaids can transform into human legs and feet when they grow up."

"There is no need to find a witch to change the potion at all?"

"..." Li Jue pondered for a few seconds.

"Maybe... she is not of the same breed as you?"

"So that's how it is..." Xing Ran held his chin, blinked, and said in a brisk voice, "Li Jue, then continue talking."

But the man was not in the mood to continue telling the story. He bent his eyes and looked at the boy in the water: "Little mermaid, how long will you be an adult?"

"Me?" Xing Ran counted with his fingers, "According to your human time, there are still about two months left, which is my coming-of-age ceremony."

The man asked thoughtfully, "So fast?"

Xing Ran nodded, squeezed a candied fruit from the eight-treasure plate and stuffed it into his mouth, then added vaguely: "The coming-of-age festival is the second most important day in our mermaid's life."

He should go back to his hometown.

It's just the second half of the sentence... Xing Ran lightly lifted the tip of his tongue against the preserved fruit and turned it around. The sweet and sour taste made him smack his lips involuntarily. This was a delicacy he couldn't eat at the bottom of the sea.

So if I want to leave Li Jue, it's not too late to talk about it after a while.

**

Li Jue started to get busy again, and he didn't know what he was busy with. The mermaids in Xingyuan Pavilion were swimming around in the warm jade pond, quite boring.

A figure gently pushed open the wooden door and walked in. The mermaid flicked her long tail and swam to her side. She raised her face and said happily, "Lu Ya, you're finally here?"

The maid was startled, then nodded and said: "Yes, young master, Lu Ya is here."

"What little toy did you bring me this time?" Xing Ran tilted his head and looked behind Lu Ya, and said regretfully while watching, "The paper lantern you gave me last time was rejected by me. Be careful with water, it's broken."

However, Lu Ya did not conjure up new gadgets for the mermaid like in the past. Under his clear gaze, Lu Ya knelt down on the ground, hesitated and said: "Young Master, forgive me, Lu Ya is here this time... It's something to ask for."

Xing Ran was a little dazed: "Lu Ya, what's the matter? Get up and talk."

Lu Ya didn't dare to look into Xing Ran's eyes, she lowered her head, closed her eyes and gritted her teeth: "I beg you sir...give me a scale."

"Scales? My scales?" Xing Ran was stunned, "What do you want my scales for?"

Luya bowed her head in silence, and continued to kneel without moving.

"Could it be..." Suddenly, Xing Ran remembered something, and pulled Lu Ya's arm to check, "Lu Ya, you are not injured, right? Let me see."

Lu Ya finally raised her head, but her lips were pale and bloodless: "Thank you for your concern, my lord, Lu Ya...isn't hurt."

"Then you...are you sick? Your complexion is a little bad." Xing Ran raised his arm and was about to touch her forehead, but the latter turned his head away.

Lu Ya kowtowed to Xing Ran again, and repeated tremblingly: "I beg you to give me a scale."

"...Okay." Xing Ran frowned and retracted his arms, covering the scales around his waist.

"It hurts to pull out the scales, Lu Ya, next time you have to bring me lots and lots of strings of candied haws to compensate me."

The kneeling man stiffened his back, then nodded slowly.

Xing Ran smiled in satisfaction, and then pulled a scale off his body without blinking.

"Hiss...it really hurts, Lu Ya, here you are."

The gorgeous and delicate fan-shaped scales glowed with a faint blue light, and there was a little bit of crimson blood-flesh at one end. They lay in the young man's snow-white and delicate palms and handed them to Lu Ya, who suddenly felt extremely sour in his heart.

She took the scales with both hands, and then kowtowed heavily at Xing Ran: "Thank you, my lord... Lu Ya has nothing to repay, and I am willing to go through fire and water for you from now on."

Xing Ran grinned, revealing a pair of white and sharp canine teeth: "It's okay, Lu Ya, I still have a lot of fish scales on my body."

"Young master, Lu Ya still has something to do, so I will leave first."

That smile hurt Lu Ya's eyes deeply, she couldn't stay any longer, bid farewell to Xing Ran and left as if fleeing.

The only mermaid left behind her looked up and looked puzzled.

After leaving Xingyuan Pavilion, Luya went back to her room first. She ground the scales into powder with tools and put them into a small porcelain bottle, then put the porcelain bottle into the bottom of the food box, pressed it with a big cake, and finally carried The food box left the house.

She hurriedly walked through the long and winding palace corridors, and finally came to the most desolate stone forest in the west.There is a lack of light here, and it is so dilapidated that even the servants don't come to clean it, but at the entrance of a stone cave, there are two guards with red-tasseled spears waiting earnestly.

"This is a forbidden place, and others should not come near it."

The sharp blade with a cold light stood in front of her, and Lu Ya's heart skipped a beat, her fingers pinching the wooden handle of the food box were sweating, she swallowed and pretended to calmly say: "I am the maidservant of Xingyuan Pavilion, I was ordered to come here Send some food to the person inside."

Hearing the words "Xingyuan Pavilion", the two guards looked at each other in dismay, their faces full of puzzlement, but they opened the wooden box and saw that there was indeed only simple food inside, and then let them go.

Entering the stone cave as he wished, his sight dimmed, Luya's fingers holding the food box tightly, took a breath and began to walk slowly along the stone wall.

The cave was very long and rugged. After Luya took an unknown number of turns, light finally appeared in her vision. Of course, with the bright and wide vision, there was a scene unfolding in front of her without hindrance.

Lu Ya always knew that this was a dark and damp water prison, but the prisoner in it was indeed their former king of Donghe Kingdom.

The man who was graceful, noble and untouchable in the past has now become the most humble prisoner. His legs were broken, his hands were firmly chained, and he was hung and soaked in ice water, dying.

Lu Ya's tears burst out immediately.

"Kings……"

The man opened his eyes in a daze, saw Lu Ya, and said excitedly, "Who are you? You call me the king? Are you here to save me?"

"Hiss..." When the man moved, the tearing pain all over his body made him violent, he raised his voice and roared, "Quickly untie this chain for me!"

"Damn Li Jue, this king will never let you go!"

"After I go out, I will definitely skin you, tear your bones apart, eat your flesh, and drink your blood!"

Lu Ya looked at the man in front of him with a face full of anger, who kept spitting out curse words like a madman, and shrank back in fear.

"Your Majesty... how did you become like this? Are you... all right?" Lu Ya's eyes were red and her face was full of disbelief.

"How did I become like this? Hahaha." Peng Zong laughed suddenly, his hair was disheveled like a devil, "A traitor! Li Jue that traitor, he took away my throne, broke my legs and beat me to death. Imprisoned in this ghostly place, hahahaha...you ask me, okay?"

The more Peng Zong talked, the more emotional he became, and he glared at Lu Ya and roared, "Get out! If you can't save me, get out of here quickly! You can't read my jokes either!"

Lu Ya waved her hands in a panic: "No, no, majesty, you have misunderstood the servant, if you hadn't given a bite to the servant who was about to starve to death during the private visit, the servant would have died long ago! So the life of the servant is given by you. Yes, how could this servant see you as a joke? The servant heard that your majesty is suffering here, so she came to give you something..."

Peng Zong sneered disapprovingly, and vaguely remembered that when he left the palace, he seemed to have handed over a tael of silver to a beggar, but a beggar is a beggar, and he couldn't even untie the chain, what a waste.

"Oh? What did you come to give me?"

"It's the fish scales of the mermaid!" Lu Ya took out the small porcelain bottle in the food box, and handed it to Peng Zong as if offering a treasure, "Look, Your Majesty, this is the powder that Lu Ya made from the fish scales of the mermaid!"

"What? Fish scales of a mermaid?" Peng Zong stared wide-eyed, staring at the small white porcelain bottle in Luya's hand, almost wanting to make a hole to find out.

"You said this is the fish scale of Xing Ran's mermaid?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Ya nodded, lowered her eyelids and said, "Li Jue arranged for my servant to work in Xingyuan Pavilion... This servant was tricked by that mermaid."

"Hahahahaha good job!" Peng Zong raised his head and laughed, his eyes were bloodshot with excitement, his shoulders trembled so much that even the chains above his head were shaking.

"Although the scales of a mermaid are not comparable to flesh and blood, they can also give birth to human muscles and bones. Hurry up! Your name is Luya, right? Come and help this king's leg with medicine!"

"Green Shoot obeys."

Lu Ya first soaked Peng Zong's broken legs carefully from the water to the shore, then took off the cork of the porcelain bottle, and poured the powder inside onto the wound.

The delicate bluish powder sprinkled on Peng Zong's swollen wound after soaking for a long time, Peng Zong felt a little cold at first, and then began to feel warmth from the wound, the warmth penetrated into the bone, and the pain suddenly eased a lot.

It's the mermaid's scales at work!

Seeing his legs getting better gradually, Peng Zong licked his dry lips, there was undisguised greed and excitement in his eyes, which made Lu Ya's heart shudder.

"This mermaid is really a good thing..."
