Volume 3 – When he bravely forged ahead on the sea waves

Chapter III (Part 2) The rude and arrogant mermaid princess

“I never thought that this fox girl will also turn out to be a sacred sacrifice. How amusing!” The mermaid princess viciously laughed: “A fox beauty can fetch about 5000 gold coins in a human country on the Qin Mainland. And the ones who also hold the t.i.tle of sacrifice should fetch even higher prices. You tell me, why shouldn’t I catch you alive and sell you to those evil humans?”

Hailun’s body was slightly trembling but she still remained proud while staring stubbornly at the mermaid princess’s face, smiling maliciously at them.

“Then what about me?” Liu Zhenhan asked while pointing at his gigantic nose: “Can you also sell me in your brothels as a gigolo?

“Pigman sacrifice…” The mermaid princess frowned, “you don’t seem like an educated aristocrat from your tone!”

“What you’re saying is not wrong, you see I really have not yet won the t.i.tle of n.o.bility.” Liu Zhenhan himself admitted.

“I really cannot imagine that even if coming from the most beautiful fox tribe of Qiu Mainland, you would fancy a lazy, greedy, ugly and gluttonous pigman like him. I agree that he is a sacrifice, so what? You beast people are as vulnerable in my eyes vulnerable as fragile sh.e.l.ls, why would you defy my will? Why?” The voice of the mermaid princess sounded unreal, full of a strange and alluring charm.

“Is pig race really so disappointing and disgusting?” Liu Zhenhan poked his chest and said: “Royal Princess, do not let your sober vision be deceived by my ordinary semblance. I understand that you come from the great sea kingdom but why do you so arbitrarily look down on the faithful servants of the War-G.o.d Campas?”

“Are you perhaps daring to challenge the sea clan fighters, considered the strongest in the entire world?” The mermaid princess seemed to be getting more and more interested in her prey. Even the tiger shark knights issue a wanton laughter in response.

“We have a proverb in our Beamon Kingdom,” Liu Zhenhan racked his brain to make up something presentable and said: “G.o.d of War has given us humility but does not tell us to regard ourselves as weak. He has taught us to believe that we are not above or beneath any individual.”

“Challenging the strong, whether it brings victory or failure, is the glory of each Beamon warrior.” Hailun coldly said.

“Stupid sacrifices,” said the mermaid princess, obviously enraged by their response, “Richard, you go teach them a lesson and fix their ignorance and arrogance to show them what it means to be truly powerful.”

One of the magical shark knights lifted his fork-shaped bone spear and communicated with the tiger shark he was riding to move toward the raft. There was a crazy look in his eyes, giving a clear indication of his violent character. The bulging muscles all over his body were a.s.sociated with his destructive power.

(TL note: The Chinese version of this knight’s name is Lichade but it is pretty obvious that the author intends for this name to sound like its English version, Richard. And since our MC has the name Li Cha, I guess I should use Richard for the knight to avoid confusing readers.)

“Oh really, you want me to fight just one guy?” Liu Zhenhan waved his hand and said: “You all can come at me together.”

“Arrogant and ignorant, you beast people are truly idiots!” The shark knight replied in a thunderous voice, “I, the shark knight Richard, will you tear you into shreds and eat your meat in dinner. Of course, your little magic pet can serve as my snack after dinner!

“Yeah, yeah, whatever man.” Liu Zhenhan asked: “After I beat you, your friends are anyway going to come at me for revenge, right? I am saying this for your own good.”

“Shut up!” The mermaid princess just lost it and shouted: “You stupid terrestrial creature! You are as ignorant as your incompetent G.o.d! As long as you are able to defeat my knight, Richard, I will let both of you go. Afterward, no one from the sea race will be allowed to stand in your way!”

Yes, these were the words he was waiting for. Liu Zhenhan had used a very simple tactic of playing a foolish character while manipulating the enemy into making a bet, a bet that appears to be in favor of the enemy but lies in his favor from the very beginning. All the while, there was a touch of light expression on his face with no signs of a dark plan being woven inside his mind.
