Chapter 3700: 4.1300 Slaughter

Long Min was struck by the slap, her ears ringing with hallucinatory roars.

It was evident how swift, brutal, and fierce that slap had been.

"Sister!" Long Qiang, with a long sword at his throat, craned his neck and roared furiously, "Is there any law left in this Longyan City?!"

"Does holding power mean one can arbitrarily dispose of human lives?"

"Human lives?" Qiao Mu couldn't help but sneer, forcefully breaking free from Mo Lian's embrace. She lunged forward and kicked Long Qiang in the chest, giving him two more vicious kicks, and roared furiously, "Do you have any law in your eyes? Any regard for human lives? You little beast, you have no ruler, no superior, and even no family, no country!"

"If you did, would you capture your own family members?"

"Would you treat them like this??"

While raging, Qiao Mu went into a rampage, kicking Long Qiang in the chest seventeen or eighteen times.

Long Qiang immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Long Qiang!!" Long Min's expression changed, and she roared.

At this moment, the many onlookers also began to whisper amongst themselves.

"So the Long family really is a collateral branch of the Merperson race?"

"I never thought they'd be so vicious."

"To actually capture their own family members."

"I heard that the Little Crown Princess's mother, Long Chuyun, is from the main branch of the Long family in the Sea of Oblivion."

"The Long family is the royal bloodline of the Merperson race."

"In the Sea of Oblivion, Long is a major surname. All merpeople are subjects of the royal bloodline."

"Tsk, tsk, I never imagined that this branch family would be so ruthless, capable of treating their own family members like this."

"Exactly! Listen to what they're saying, as if these merpeople are just some kind of goods that can be wantonly slaughtered and eaten."

"No wonder the Little Crown Princess is so unbearably furious."

"Bah! Anyone who can treat their own family members like this is truly no good."

"Crown Princess," Long Min twisted her arms, which were twisted behind her back, and angrily cried out, "Don't go too far, Crown Princess!"

"Our noble families and the imperial family have always kept to ourselves! Don't even think about instigating conflict between us..."

"The Long family bringing so many merpeople into the capital itself is an act with ill intentions."

Mo Lian coldly interrupted Long Min, raising a hand with a calm expression. "Now, to contradict and slander the Crown Princess is an even greater crime."

"Guards! Arrest all Long family members and their retainers."

"This Crown Prince intends to have a good chat with the Long family head about how he educates his children, to dare show such disrespect to the Crown Princess."

Long Min shuddered, then quickly submitted, lowering her head and quietly saying, "Long Min's words were excessive, but, but please, Your Highness, consider that Long Min was anxious about her younger brother, which is why..."

"Crown Prince, the Long family has no ill intentions!"

"These merpeople were actually captured after discussions between Patriarch Lin and my father."

"Merpeople have mermaid pearls in their bodies, Your Highness! If we extract the mermaid pearls from them, we will definitely, definitely offer them to His Majesty the Emperor! We would never dare to conceal anything!"

Qiao Mu's two small fists clenched tightly together, her large eyes, filled with hatred and fury, stared round and dark directly at Long Min.

"Bastard!!"

"Qiaoqiao." Mo Lian suddenly moved to the little one's side, hastily reaching out to pull her into his embrace.

He frowned and lowered his head, using his slender fingers to pry open her tightly clenched small hands, then gently rubbed the red marks where she had scratched her own palms with her fingernails.
