“Well…” the guest’s sharp eyes examined her from top to bottom for a moment before saying, “Eight hundred golden baht.”

“Hey, master, that’s really too little!” The shopkeeper cried out in anguish, “To transport her here, I paid the ferryman five hundred golden baht just for the boat alone!”

“Eight hundred. Not a dime more” The customer did not budge, “She is just a half-finished product, and I will have to find a dragon slayer to break her body which will cost me several hundred more. And if the splitting of the legs goes wrong, the money I spend on her will have been wasted.”

“A thousand? I’ve been raising this girl for half a year, at least let me gain a little.” The shopkeeper tried to bargain, pleading bitterly, and grabbed Sumo from the next cage, “How about I give you this child as a bonus?”

“Nine hundred.” The customer looked slightly moved, showing signs of satisfaction, but still pretending to hesitate, “Any more than that and I’ll leave.”

“Good!” The shopkeeper hastily nodded, “Deal!”

The guest clapped his hands and immediately an attendant came in and pulled out the selected sharks from their cages. Chu Chu, who had been trembling and trying desperately to hide her chest with the shredded clothes in her hands, was shoved into a new cage. Before she was pulled away, she snuck out and hurriedly whispered to Sumo in the next cage, “Don’t be scared.”

The child froze for a moment and lifted his azure eyes to look at her.

“You mustn’t be afraid.” The young shark girl who was unable to take care of herself, looked at the lonely and thin child with solicitude and whispered, “Fortunately we were bought together… this way, I will be able to take care of you.”

In that moment, her face appeared to look uncannily like the Auntie Ru in his memory, surprisingly causing Sumo to experience a subtle trance. The child’s cold eyes finally twitched: she was about to succumb, but she still remembered to take care of someone she had just met? All this, just because they were of the same clan?

The same fallen country, the same slavery, the same miserable fate for thousands of years.

Is it because of the same blood, the same miserable situation, that links them together?

When the attendants came over and tried to pull Sumo out, the child who remained silent suddenly exploded, jumping up from the cage like a small beast, ramming his head into the other man’s chest and chomping on his shoulder viciously.

“Little brat!” The attendant shouted angrily, blood dripping from the young tiger’s mouth.

“What’s wrong?” Consternated, the guest tried to step forward to check – but before he could say anything, his eyes went black as he felt a sharp pain and blood flowed instantly from his forehead.

“Scram!” The child picked up the coarse porcelain bowl of water from the cage and smashed it as hard as he could at the customer, screaming, “Don’t touch me, you filthy Kongsang people!”

The customer fell to the ground with a painful scream and a crack in his forehead half a foot long covered in blood. The attendants swarmed over him, shouting angrily, and the entire storeroom burst into a frenzy.

Sumo was dragged out of his cage by several large, muscular men, and led by the customer, he was surrounded by them and beaten in turn. The shopkeeper knew that the little brat had got himself into trouble, and although he was terrified, he dared not go forward to stop them.

“Don’t fight! Don’t fight!” Someone shouted and desperately plunged over to block the punches in front of the child; it turned out to be Chu Chu. She defiantly leapt forward, dragging her fish tail across the ground and struggling, begging bitterly, “My lords, he’s still a child… only a child! Stop hitting!”

However, the angry customer didn’t care about that. A roundhouse kick crossed over, and knocked Chu Chu, who was still trying to persuade them to stop the fight, to the ground. The legless shark fell with a thud, unable to stand up, and could only scramble, bending her body to block the child and gritting her teeth as she endured the punches and kicks that rained down on her.

“It’s okay,” Chu Chu gritted her teeth, comforting the child in her arms, but her beautiful face was distorted by the pain of the blows, and her voice was trembling, “Just bear it and it will be over. Don’t… be afraid.”

Before the words were out of her mouth, someone kicked her hard in the middle of her spine, and she couldn’t bear it anymore as she screamed, spurting out a mouthful of blood and collapsing limply, motionless.

“Hey, hey, master, stop hitting already! Be careful your hand will hurt!” The shopkeeper, seeing that the shark was going to die, finally got anxious for once, “Beating them to death will still dirty your hands!”

In the end, the customer left in a rage without buying anything.

“You little brat!” The shopkeeper dragged out the child, who had fallen to the ground and was bleeding, without waiting for the customer to leave, “Troublemaker! What a bad temper! I’ll beat you to death!”

Sumo was hauled out from underneath Chu Chu, but he didn’t move a muscle. The boy’s face was covered in blood, almost clouding his eyes, but the blood was not his own, it was that of the shark maiden – her spine had been kicked broken and her internal organs badly injured, and a large stream of blood spurted out of her mouth.

Her breathing was cut off before the dragon slayer could come to her rescue.

Sumo watched in disbelief at this kinsman, whom he had known for less than a day, whose beautiful, delicate face was withering in the moment of death, as she gradually ceased to breathe on the cold, dirty ground with her fish tail trailing off… Two tears rested in the corners of her slightly closed eyes, gradually congealing into teardrop-shaped pearls, crystalline and round, which fell to the ground with a delicate sound.

The caudal fin twitched slightly and then remained completely still.

The shopkeeper approached cursing and kicked her out of the way before bending down to pick up the two pearls – this young kinsman, who treated him like an aunt, had simply died just like this. She will never be able to return to the longed Blue Sea, and even her last tear was picked up by the Kongsang and sold as a pearl.

But Sumo stared in bewilderment, with no expression on his face.

“You scourge! Why don’t you go and die?” The shopkeeper was furious to see the shop’s only source of profit collapse, and punched Sumo, the troublemaker, nearly to death. However, the boy did not dodge or evade the blows that rained down on him, and his face remained expressionless as he was battered and bruised.

With a snap, the thick wooden stick broke on the child’s back and Sumo fell to the ground.

“This damn little bastard! A wicked creature!” The shopkeeper, discouraged and exhausted, threw away his stick and pointed at him, “It’s a waste of money to raise this animal, it can’t be sold, it doesn’t even shed a tear after all this beating, and I can’t collect shark pearls to sell for money – what’s the use of raising this guy? It might as well be thrown away!”

“It’s a pity to throw it away,” said a villainous servant, pointing to the child’s turquoise eyes, “at least the child still has a pair of intact eyes!

The shopkeeper slapped his thigh: “Yes, that’s right! Why could I forget? The shark’s whole body is full of treasures, and this pair of eyes can be made into beads and sold for several hundreds of golden baht if they are properly concocted.

But before the words left his mouth, Sumo suddenly grabbed the broken porcelain shard from the ground!

“What?” The shopkeeper was taken aback, thinking that the boy was going to attack someone again.

But Sumo just looked coldly at the room of Kongsang people and without saying a word raised his hand and stabbed the broken porcelain piece into his own eyes without hesitation!

The blood dripped from the eye sockets, red and horrible, and the child’s otherwise beautiful face was instantly transformed into an unholy ghost.

Everyone in the room was stunned, frozen in their tracks.

“Scram! You filthy Kongsang people!” Sumo’s eyes dripped crimson blood as he gripped the sharp shard and snapped at the group, “I will never be at your whim again! Never, never again you Kongsang people, will try to get something out of me! Never!”

The blood, like two rows of tears, cut across the child’s face and reached the ground.

When the child shouted out those words with all his might within the fantasy realm, the three elders outside the ancient well simultaneously lost their heads.

The Ocean Emperor had actually stabbed his own eyes with his own hands!

“Not good!” Elder Quan exclaimed, crossing his arms over his chest, “Quickly set up the formation!”

In that moment, they witnessed a great destructive power surging from the child’s heart, an overwhelming force that flooded the entire “Big Dream” – A power so full of vicious hatred that it was capable of reducing everything in front of him to dust, and extinguish the whole world together with him!

However, before they could establish the formation again, a huge energy was released from the bottom of the water, like a roaring storm, spreading out in an instant. With a loud bang, the ancient well shattered completely, along with the well platform engraved with the spell, and suddenly cracked into pieces!

The three elders of the Sea Kingdom were struck by the heavy blow and fell backwards all at once.
