Chapter 1632: 22.19 Third Red Star - End of Livestream
The sudden confession of the young master mentioned the royal family and directly pointed out the second prince. This is a live stream watched by most people, and those who heard the confession couldn't believe what they heard, especially the commoners.
After all, in their eyes, the second prince had always been a good person. He gives away charity to those who are in need. Help those who can't afford little mermaids and make a free Little Mermaid center to cure those whose soul domain's pollution is beyond the average, and so on.

In short, he is a good guy. At least, that's how his persona was laid to the public. Only those who were from the side of the second prince, the royal family, and the military knew what the true kind of person the second prince was.
The Second Prince Rion, in reality, is a tyrant. The order he gives is a must and cannot be rejected. If the family or clan fails to do so, they can only be exterminated. Within the royal family, the second prince's greatest backer is the first princess, his sister.
The first princess is the king's favorite after the crown prince. After all, she is the first-born princess, and the king spoils her a lot. Thanks to her, all the bad reputation of the second prince was buried, and all his secrets were hidden as well. Because of her, the second prince was capable of fighting against the crown prince.
However, the rule of the royal family cannot be changed so easily. According to their family law, only the crown prince will be the heir to the throne. Unless he dies, he will be the only legible person to take the crown. This is regardless of how many princes were born after him or no matter how talented the other princes were.
Because of this rule, the royal knights were directly under the control of the crown prince, even if the favorite princess didn't receive the protection of the royal knights. That is a troop exclusive only for the future king.
The Second Prince was so envious of this power, and no matter how many assassins he sent to kill the crown prince, no one was able to achieve it. As for why he is interested in the mermaid king, there is only one reason. He wanted him to take command of all the little mermaids and made it so everyone in the federation leaned to him when they needed their healing.
With the mermaid king's authority, that is a vision that he wanted to achieve. Unfortunately, he didn't expect that the mermaid king was an even tougher nut to crack than the crown prince. It's an existence that even the human laws can't control, and with the overwhelming power, he is someone the humans should revere instead unless they want to lose the little mermaids in their families.
As expected, the cold-faced yet exquisite face of the mermaid king remains calm even after learning about the royal family involved.
Hei Anjing said, "The Royal Family's second prince is it?"
"Very well. He also deserved punishment. My brethren do not heal the second prince of the federation without my command. This is... a royal decree!"
The silver eyes of the mermaid king glow with golden shade. Under the live broadcast of the video showing the punishment for the small clan who dares to kill his kind, his royal decree was heard by all the little mermaids in the federation.
The little mermaids received the decree through their race's bloodline, and those who owned or were just beside their little mermaids at this moment saw their mermaids salute the mermaid king after his declaration of royal decree.
They all responded, {As his majesty decree!}
It was only at this moment that everyone in the federation believed that the mermaid king had connections to all little mermaids in existence. Their pain and suffering can be felt by their king, and the king can come over to their side anytime.
"Y-your... Your majesty! I told you everything! It's all true; I am not lying. Please... Please give me a reward. Spare me, I beg you!"
The young master, covered in blood, tears, and snot, was kneeling before the mermaid king. He felt that with the confession he made, he could be spared. He felt relief when he saw the mermaid king smile gently at him.
The God of Destruction gave him a gentle smile that soothes his nervous nerves and smiles with him. He believes that he has been pardoned by telling the truth and will be spared in the end.
Hei Anjing said, "Good job in telling the truth. You have done well~" even gently patting the head of the young master as if giving reward to such an honest child.
The ones watching the livestream gasped, as they didn't even notice when the mermaid king summoned that death scythe. In contrast to his gentle face, his next move was full of cruelty. He beheaded the young master, and the blood spurts from his detached head.
It was done in an instant, and even the young master was still smiling even after dying. The gentle smile on the mermaid king's face faded, and he looked at the head in his hand with an expressionless face.
Hei Anjing said, "You killed my brethren and wanted to be spared? Am I stupid?"
He nonchalantly threw the head in his hand and controlled the water in the air to clean himself up. In just a few minutes, all the blood on himself, even on his clothes, was removed. Hei Anjing returned to his clean and elegant self. If not for the fresh blood on his death scythe, everyone wouldn't have known that this beautiful bring had just massacred a whole human clan.
The God of Destruction called, "A'Ming, come over."
Yun Ming appeared before the mermaid king. He is still in his little mermaid form, hugging a ball of water with a dead little mermaid inside. The mermaid king hides his death scythe and hugs the waterfall. Under everyone's sight, a trident insignia appeared on his forehead, and a golden light surrounded the three dead little mermaids in the water.
No one knows what happened under that golden light, but when the light faded, what was left behind in the water were three various colored eggs. The color of the eggs is the same as the color of the fishtail those dead little mermaids possessed.
The Mermaid King passed them back to Yun Ming and said, "Bring them to incubation. Once they have hatched, they can choose another human to cure and live with."
Sigh~
"It's time to go home," said Hei Anjing as he looked at the blue sky above his head. It's different from the blood and dead covered land under his foot.
Zhi Yue's voice was heard announcing the ending of the livestream.
[The livestream will shut down in 3 minutes.]
Those who were watching the live show couldn't move their gaze to the screen of their devices. Despite the ruthless war and cruelty of the mermaid king, they couldn't move their gaze away from his beauty. A heavenly-defying appearance, one that can match the gods in the myths.
Before the live stream completely shut down, they saw soldiers coming over to the scene. Obviously, after the massacre was done, the ice wall that blocks the outsiders had melted, and everyone could come over. The military waiting outside had taken over and immediately came in the moment the ice wall was gone.
Holding guns and weapons in their hands, they approached the mermaid king and surrounded him. However, no one dares to point their weapon before the king of mermaids. In the end, General Ye appeared, and the whole video was cut off.
Screams of disbelief and dissatisfaction resound all over the houses in the federation. They wanted to know what happened between the mermaid king and General Ye, their War God.
What they didn't know was that after the video was cut off. The General comes over personally not to capture the mermaid king but to pick him up so they can go home. The God of Void carried his wife in his embrace. Hei Anjing turned back to his little mermaid form, looking so tired. With a clean handkerchief, Ye Xiajie wipes the blood in his soles gently.
Under the shocked gaze of the soldiers of the federation, General Ye kissed the head of the sleepy mermaid king.
"Baby, good work. Leave the cleanup to me. Go ahead and sleep," Ye Xiajie said.
Yawns~
Hei Anjing said, "Okay. Those three eggs, I will also leave them in the care of the military. A'Ming will teach you how to care for and hatch them properly."
"Please leave it to me, Master," Warden Yun Ming said.
Colonel Lou took the three eggs in his little mermaids' embrace and said, "I will carry them for you. Do you want me to carry you back home, Ming'er?"
"Don't go back home. We need to arrange things for incubation of the mermaid eggs in your headquarters," said little mermaid Yun Ming.
"Alright. I will listen to Ming'er."
Colonel Lou, this expressionless man, suddenly showed a smile, leaving his soldiers dumbfounded.
No one from the military had expected the Mermaid King to be the little mermaid of their general, and the other talking little mermaid is the little mermaid in Colonel Lou Wuye's family. They didn't know when the military had this big shot joining them.
Seeing his Jing'er asleep, Ye Xiajie's smile faded when he looked at his subordinates and made them flinch. It was only when Colonel Lou voiced a command that they woke up from shock.
"What are you guys still doing? Clean up the place!"
"Yes, sir!" The soldiers collectively responded.
