Qingge would always remember the shock she felt when she saw that scene.
Beside the man lay a whole tongue.
It was Qingya's.
The man covered the hole in his neck and kept backing away.
The woman advanced step by step.
"Look, men are so easily tempted. I just drank a few cups of wine with you and said some unrealistic words, and you were willing to hurt a wife who whole - heartedly cared about you. This world is really unrealistic."
Qiuqiu picked up the knife on the ground.
Looking at Qingya on the ground, she said, "I told you long ago that this man was unreliable. I told you to just give your body to me, but you refused and insisted on making this bet with me."
"Now, not only have you lost your body, but your heart has also been completely broken, right?"
After saying this, the woman burst into laughter.
Qingya couldn't speak. Her lower body was a fish - tail without a single scale, and it was bloody and mangled. She knew that even if she returned to the Secret Sea, she wouldn't be able to survive, and she could never return to the sea again.
But she was not willing to accept it.
Qingya looked at the man.
The man shook his head.
He couldn't believe it.
Then he crawled over and hugged Qiuqiu's thigh.
"Qiuqiu, I really love you. I can give up everything. I fell in love with you at first sight. For you, I even killed her. You can't treat me like this!"
The woman laughed.
She backed away.
"What you like is just this appearance. If I weren't like this, would you still like me?"
After saying this, the woman's body changed.
In a moment, she turned into a man's appearance.
Seeing this, the man covered his neck and slumped to the ground.
"You're a monster!"
The man named Qiuqiu said, "You said you liked me. Do you still like me like this?"
The man kept shaking his head, his lips turning purple.
She then changed back to her previous appearance as the woman Qiuqiu.
Then she reached out her hand and gently stroked the man's head. Then, with a sudden force,
she directly pulled the man's head off.
The man's eyes were still wide open.
Qiuqiu casually tossed the head away and walked to Qingya's side.
"Look, I told you that the most despicable thing in this world is feelings. Even when this man knew the truth and was dying, he didn't think of repenting to you, but told me how much he loved me. Now that you've seen it with your own eyes, your so - called feelings are so false."
Qiuqiu stood up.
Qingya looked in the direction of the man's head.
This man had lied to her for so long.
From her full - fledged love for him at first to her later hatred, every step of this was caused by him. Of course, it was also because she had misjudged people and was blinded by that so - called love.
Qingya loved this man.
She believed that the man had loved her too, but his love had an expiration date.
Qingya had killed him with her own hands.
She didn't feel regretful.
But she had invested so much emotion in the man. Seeing him injured, her heart still ached terribly.
Qingya looked at Qiuqiu and the female mermaid clan members.
Her eyes were full of guilt.
After teasing Qingya, the woman looked at Qingge and her group.
"Tsk tsk tsk - what a bunch of beautiful girls. It's a pity that the scales on your bodies are really useful to me. Here, I can only say sorry to you first."
"What do you want to use our scales for?"
"Nothing much. I've newly cultivated a kind of monster. I want it to do some things for me without my having to do it myself. I've even named this kind of monster. How about calling it the Phantom Beast?"
As the woman's voice fell,
although there was still a smile on her face, she showed no mercy when she took action.
Qingge was the youngest and was surrounded by the clan members in the middle. So when the net of heaven and earth kept closing in, she wasn't the first to be killed.
The screams of the clan members echoed one after another.
The sound of the skin being burned sizzled.
Then, the woman picked up the prepared sea - water on the ground and splashed it on the female mermaid clan members. For a moment, when the female mermaid clan members came into contact with the sea - water, their feet began to slowly turn into fish - tails.
Qingge was in the middle and didn't get splashed with much water.
On land, without legs, the only thing waiting for the female mermaids was death.
No one knew where this woman named Qiuqiu came from, but she had such powerful spiritual power.
At this moment, Qingge fell into complete despair.
"Bang!"
A loud noise came.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found that Qingya's body had self - detonated at that moment.
The bodies of the female mermaid clan could gather great energy. After they died and floated to the shore, exposed to the wind and rain for a long time, they would swell up. Many of their internal organs would be corroded, and more and more stinky gas would form, which would finally burst their bellies.
But Qingya self - detonated before she died.
She wanted to use her last bit of value to buy the clan members a chance to escape.
The clan members around Qingge looked at each other and seemed to have made a certain determination.
Taking advantage of the moment when the woman was distracted by Qingya's explosion, they joined hands and self - detonated together.
The self - detonation of no less than a hundred female mermaids was extremely powerful. Even the solid net of heaven and earth was impacted by this force and a gap appeared.
Qingge didn't even have time to be sad. She spotted the exit and quickly slipped out.
After the smoke cleared,
Qingge had already run far away.
When she returned to the female mermaid clan, she was covered in wounds, and there was not a single intact part on her body.
From then on, Qingge led the remaining clan members to hide in this desolate cemetery. Under the cemetery, they created a fantasy Secret Sea.
After that, they also used all the power of the clan to hide the cemetery under the sandstorm. Ordinary people could never find it.
Qingge led the clan members to live in seclusion.
In a flash, four hundred years had passed.
The descendants of the female mermaid clan hated humans so much because of Qingge's words.
Qingge originally thought that they could live happily and care - free forever like this, but this time the appearance of the cemetery attracted many people.
She had no choice but to do what she did before.
Zhao Shuning listened very carefully as Qingge finished telling this story.
"Actually, I've never let go of what happened back then. I don't know what deep hatred that woman had with our female mermaid clan that she wanted to exterminate us. I don't expect you, miss, to avenge us. I only hope that if you have the ability, you can help our female mermaid clan find out who that woman was back then and why she did such a thing. Our female mermaid clan is weak, and we can't seek justice on our own."
"Beauty Qingge, you hope I can help you, right?"
"I know this request is a bit excessive."
"Not excessive. I'll help you."
Zhao Shuning naturally wanted to meet this demon who was so cruel as to almost exterminate an entire clan.
Whether justice could be achieved or not was another matter, but this woman had done wrong, killed people, and committed such heinous acts.
That woman owed the female mermaid clan hundreds of lives.
