Chapter 579: Ruthless

Louise didn't expect that Jin Rou would push the issue this far. To actually think that he wanted a royal member of the Clan of Mermaids to lick his shoe? Even the members of the race wouldn't think of this!

Now, the old man was determined to move and protect Nolan no matter what and she didn't know what to do. After all, it was the Mermaid Clan they were talking about here, a super powerhouse that they couldn't afford to offend as of now!

"Young Miss, I suggest you stay put." Uncle Mu whispered to Louise, "As you can see, that young man isn't stupid. He won't do anything that might be over the top of his capabilities. For sure, he is prepared for this. Let's see first what will happen."

Louise contemplated this matter and nodded. Indeed, Jin Rou didn't look like a stupid person or not. She had no choice but see how this would unfold. After all, she was also powerless to do something to help the other party.

Jin Rou could feel an intense cold that could freeze the world to death. He knew it came from the old man and sneered, "This cold isn't enough to deter me."

"Who told you that I'm using the cold to deter you?" The old man harrumphed and the entire place became frozen. Then, swords made of ice appeared and its sharp tip was pointed to Jin Rou, "Now!"

"Whoosh!" A rain of ice swords broke the void as it came dashing towards Jin Rou with unbelievable speed.

"Insignificant technique." Jin Rou swung his arms and the trajectory of the ice swords reversed. It was now going back to the old man.

Not just that, Jin Rou controlled the void, bringing Nolan to the place where the ice swords would hit.

"Bastard!" The old man immediately rushed, activating his fastest movement to protect Nolan from the hit. After all, it would be a calamity once this royal prince of the clan was killed here.

Jin Rou laughed seeing this. How could he let the old man do what he wanted to do? So of course, he slowed down the time in the vicinity of the old man, rendering the fast movement useless.

"()':%)!!" The old man couldn't help but curse seeing the current predicament. His eyes widened as he saw the ice swords piercing Nolan one after another.

Blood splashed everywhere as the swords impaled Nolan. Soon after, he fell down to the ground with his blood still flowing from his body.

"Nolan! Nolan!" The old man immediately came over and prop the prince with trembling hands. He channeled his qi to him to have the heart continue to pump blood. After which, he took the greatest medicine he had and let Nolan drink it. He was saving it for himself in case he suffered from a severe injury.

Louise covered her mouth from extreme shock. She didn't expect that Jin Rou would aim to kill Nolan, who was an important member of the Clan of Mermaids. Now, she could see that Jin Rou was the ruthless type of person who wouldn't show mercy to his enemies.

Although the old man had already used everything, Nolan was still unconscious and his life was still on the line. Fortunately, there were signs that he was getting better by each minute. At the very least, he could still live for a longer while. This was already much time for the old man to take him home and treat him by their resources.

"I willing remember this." The old man looked at Jin Rou like he was going to eat him whole and activated the teleportation scroll.

"Yes, please remember that you are the reason why that person will die." Jin Rou smirked, "No matter what you do, he will be beyond saving. You will just waste your clan's resources treating an already dead man."

"Whoosh!" The old man wanted to say something but they were immediately teleported back home.

After which, the entire frozen volcano turned back to what it was. Jin Rou looked at Louise and chuckled, "I know you're worried. But don't worry, their clan will not bother with you."

Jin Rou could read the lady's face and for sure, she was greatly worried if their palace would be implicated.

Louise turned her head down from shame. She didn't expect that she was that easy to read. Well, it was natural for her to think that way. After all, she just claimed that Jin Rou was a guest of them. If in case, that clan seek trouble, they would probably be implicated.

As of now, the Mortal Disaster Palace was currently in a turmoil and couldn't afford a super powerhouse troubling them.

Uncle Mu sighed. He could understand why the Young Miss had this thought.

"It looks like your palace is facing some great difficulties." Jin Rou could see that on their faces, "To make it up for this, tell me the problem. Who knows? I might be great of help."

Louise looked at Uncle Mu to seek for approval in which Uncle Mu approved. They were already in the same boat, might as well try this chance.

"Our palace is the governing power of the Mortal Region. I am the current Princess and the next in line to inherit the throne, Louise Eversight." Louise introduced herself first properly and proceeded to explain, "Currently, we are facing a pending doom that might be the end of our palace."

"A doom that can end your palace?" Jin Rou was a little surprised. What could possibly be that pending doom that could destroy them entirely?

Take note, Mortal Disaster Palace was established since the time immemorial and had been standing even after millions of trials and tribulations. Thus, their foundation wasn't weak in the slightest. However, they were saying that they were facing a problem that could end their palace's lineage? Just how scary was their problem was?

This was more serious that Jin Rou thought. He needed to learn more in order to know how can he help them.
