Chen Luo took Rice to check on Ningshuang.
Ningshuang was the only one who advanced without any pain.
Let me take a good look at you. What exactly makes you different from other mermaids?
Chen Luo had asked Sister Sea Ji to watch Feng Yue. He hadn't called it imprisonment, just keeping her under supervision. Though Sea Ji disliked her, she hadn't made things particularly difficult for her.
Having finally met another of her kind, Ningshuang naturally wanted to be friends with her.
But Feng Yue didn't appreciate the gesture.
Her heart was filled with jealousy. Every one of them was far prettier than she was.
No one was allowed to be prettier than her.
If she had been strong enough, she would have killed Sea Ji and Ningshuang.
"Come on, try this. It's delicious! I begged Sister Yu to make an extra serving."
Ningshuang held a bowl of tomato beef brisket. Of course she had to share something this delicious with a friend.
Feng Yue didn't appreciate it. With impatience written all over her face, she knocked the tomato beef brisket onto the floor.
A sharp crash rang out as the bowl shattered.
Ningshuang froze, her nose stinging with the urge to cry. "How could you do that? You've gone too far!"
Feng Yue snorted. "I'm not eating it. Get lost. You're an eyesore."
Ningshuang grew angry too. "I shouldn't have bothered. I'm not playing with you anymore."
Feng Yue sneered. Playing? How childish.
With a smack, Sea Ji gave Feng Yue a hard slap. "Who gave you the nerve to smash a bowl? If you won't eat that, you won't eat anything."
Holding her cheek, Feng Yue looked at Sea Ji with fear and resentment. Sea Ji was nothing like Ningshuang. She really would hit hard.
