Quick Wear: I and the Villain Beat the Scum Together

Chapter 152 Mermaid Tribe 2 Cannon Fodder 11

Two years had passed in a flash. During these two years, Si Ke had lived a carefree life, with no one bothering her. Her relationship with Yin Xue had also grown stronger and stronger, becoming a model couple.

As for the Imperial Palace, she had rarely been there in the past two years. Unless something major was happening, the Emperor wouldn't call for her. And shortly after Si Ke and Yin Xue married, she had taken her mother back to the Viscount's residence. She wasn't favored in the palace anyway, and their relationship had long since faded after years of wandering away, so her mother wouldn't have any lingering memories of her.

The emperor wanted to stop it. After all, in his opinion, Si Ke's mother staying in the palace was more or less a constraint on Si Ke.

However, when Si Ke once again opened the protective shield and forcibly took his mother out of the palace, the emperor felt like a joke.

He has no control over this daughter.

During these days, the plague finally arrived in this sea area, infecting a large number of people, causing them to fall ill and eventually die.

The pollution in the ocean is different from the epidemic in the human world. It truly affects all mermaids, and no one can escape. It's just that the nobler the bloodline, the less damage they suffer.

Of course, the entire Viscount's Mansion received the news at the first time, so Si Ke used a protective shield to directly surround the entire Viscount's Mansion, and then used the secret method of purification to ensure the safety of everyone inside.

When the news reached the emperor, he summoned Si Ke immediately and ordered her to purify the sea area in the mermaid tribe area to ensure the safety of his people.

"Father, it's not that I don't want to, but I have already performed the purification spell once before. If I do it again, the coverage area will probably be very limited! It is even more impossible to purify the entire sea area." Si Ke answered calmly. She was not afraid that the emperor would be angry. Now she was the only one who could save the entire mermaid tribe.

The emperor nearly spat out a mouthful of blood. Even if Si Ke hadn't used her power, it would have been impossible for her to purify the entire sea area at once. Furthermore, there was a waiting period between each use of her power, some requiring a month, and the shortest being ten days. Wouldn't it take ten days for Si Ke to use her power again?

And how many people will die in these ten days? The consequences are simply incalculable.

"Your Majesty, I have a way to let the Seventh Princess perform purification on a large scale!" At this time the wizard stood up. He not only knew divination, but was also the most knowledgeable medical person in the mermaid tribe.

"What method?" The emperor stood up excitedly when he heard it.

"Use the blood of a member of the royal family as a sacrifice. Once the sea is contaminated by her blood, when the Seventh Princess casts a spell, those places will be purified directly."

The emperor's heart sank a bit when he heard this answer, but he couldn't help but ask, "Royal blood? Whose blood?"

"Anyone with royal bloodline can do it. Of course, the higher the level, the better the effect."

After saying this, everyone looked at Si Ke. You know, she is the highest-ranking person in the entire mermaid tribe.

However, the next moment, everyone realized that this person couldn't be her.

Si Ke was the only one who could perform the purification technique. If she was used as a sacrifice, who would perform the purification technique? Secondly, even if she wasn't the one performing the purification technique, they couldn't capture her and force her to perform the sacrifice.

Then, apart from her, the ones with the highest bloodline in the mermaid royal family are the emperor and the fifth princess.

Both of them are blue-tailed mermaids. The emperor and his men dare not touch them, so it can only be the fifth princess.

So, all the ministers made a decision immediately, and the fifth princess was arrested.

Sike hadn't taken action against the Fifth Princess in the past two years, waiting for this day. She wanted to exact revenge on those who had treated the original owner.

On the day of the execution, Si Ke was surrounded by people and came to the largest square outside the palace gate.

At this moment, the periphery is already surrounded by mermaids. Everyone is very quiet, waiting for the evolution of the Seventh Princess to free them from the torment of illness.

As early as two hours ago, the Fifth Princess had already started bleeding. Si Ke would not begin the spell until her blood had drained out and spread to every corner of the water.

Seeing that all the blood in the Fifth Princess' body had been drained, not even a drop could be squeezed out, Si Ke started cooking, which took only an hour.

The mermaids regained their vitality, and those who had been ill began to recover gradually, their pains disappearing. Everyone was jubilant, and those who had experienced this great victory felt as if they had been reborn!

But is this the end of it? Of course not!

The people's illnesses were relieved, but their former strength could not be restored. No matter how much Si Ke used the purification technique, no one was completely healed. They could only be saved, not killed. But restoring their former vitality and vigor was impossible.

The entire mermaid tribe is like those aging old men, without any vitality left.

Even children and those who are young and strong seem to have been drained of their energy.

"How, how could this happen?" The emperor sat dejectedly on his throne, even he himself looked half dead. The mermaids were in such a state that if any other ferocious beasts from the sea attacked them, they would surely be annihilated.

The wizard had only one answer: "Your Majesty, the blood of the Fifth Princess alone is not enough!"

"You, you are so bold!" The emperor was not stupid either. It was obvious that he wanted him to be sacrificed.

However, who else could the emperor threaten now? This matter concerned everyone's life, the future of the mermaids. So, one man took the lead, and all the ministers followed suit, asking the emperor to offer a sacrifice.

The emperor was so angry that he fainted.

At night, Si Ke went to the palace to visit the emperor once. No one knew what they talked about inside.

And from that night on, the emperor could no longer speak.

On the second day, the entire mermaid tribe held another sacrificial ceremony, and this time, the person lying in the middle of the altar became the emperor.

The emperor's cloudy eyes were unfocused, and the words that Si Ke said before he left kept echoing in his mind.

"Didn't you allow the Fifth Princess and her daughter to act so boldly back then?"

"Father, in fact, you and the Fifth Princess don't need to offer sacrifices. It's just that this world has retribution!"

The emperor finally closed his eyes in reluctance and regret.

The same process went on smoothly this time. When the entire ritual was complete, the mermaids finally regained their former vitality, and the people finally began to truly rejoice.

Some people even knelt down in the square and asked Si Ke to register and become their new emperor.

As more and more people came to beg for mercy, Si Ke naturally became the new leader of the mermaid tribe! Under her leadership, the mermaid tribe reached a new peak.
