The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

Wuyin silently clenched the trident in his hand, but thinking of the elixir that Ye Wanqing had just given him that could cure the little mermaid, his face remained gentle and respectful.

"Miss, you don't know that my emperor has divined a brief romance with Young Master Jiang, and with his consent, Young Master Jiang has become my emperor's consort."

"Oh, is it so?"

Ye Wanqing stood in the morning light, her whole body covered with a layer of invisible frost. A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, but in just a moment, a smile appeared on her face again.

"Really? If this is truly a happy marriage that we both agreed on, my disciple should have explained it to me, their master. I wouldn't force anything. I'd offer my blessing and prepare a small gift. What do you think, High Priest?"

The light in the dark fluctuated, and the atmosphere around Wuyin became noticeably darker.

Di Sizhen crossed his arms, his eyes filled with sarcasm. "The reason given by the High Priest of Wuyin is a bit too much, isn't it? We know Jiang Xu better than you do. You're not afraid of laughing at us for saying 'imperial concubine'? We came in small numbers, so we have to go back in small numbers. Do you think the Hao Clan is trying to keep us here?"

Wuyin's dark blue pupils sparkled like gemstones, but at this moment they held a deep meaning that could not be rejected.

"Young lady, your words are too polite. I just said that you can take the secret treasure and leave quickly. As for Young Master Jiang, he volunteered to become the imperial consort of our emperor and is also willing to stay."

"Impossible! You were the ones who sent someone to tell us that the Mermaid Emperor needed to find him regarding Jiang Xu's bloodline. How could he stay here without telling us, and even willingly become your Emperor's consort?"

Yu Junlin seemed a little angry. The reason why the Hao clan forced Jiang Xu to stay was not credible at all.

"Heh~ Do you believe what you said?" Di Sizhen turned around, his expression unusually angry, "Senior Sister, just hit me."

As soon as he finished speaking, the already heavy atmosphere instantly became even more bizarre, and the mermaids of the Hao clan swam behind Wuyin, as if ready to start a battle at any time.

At this moment, a light laugh was heard, and the eerie atmosphere around them instantly subsided a lot.

"Didn't my high priest explain it clearly? It almost led to a fight between you two." Lan Yin glanced at everyone. Although her expression was gentle and warm, it inexplicably made people feel a little cold.

"Besides the fact that Jiang Xu became my imperial consort, he actually has half merman blood, and his mother happened to be the elder who previously managed the Si Lu of my Hao Clan. After I told him this, he willingly wanted to stay and take a look at the place where his mother grew up."

The corners of Ye Wanqing's lips gradually curled up, and her obsidian pupils were filled with alienation. When her eyes swept across the hundreds of mermaids behind Lan Yin, it seemed as if she was just mechanically completing the observation process, without any warmth.

"I'm naturally happy for my disciple to have found out his origins. However, after all, I've been Jiang Xu's master for nearly two years. Even if he wants to stay here, he can't help but say hello to me. What do you think, Your Majesty the Mermaid?"

Lan Yin's lips froze in a frown, and her expression as she looked at Ye Wanqing gradually grew more profound. Then, as if on cue, she chuckled softly, "We've only been master and disciple for two years, but it feels like we've been together for years... Hehe~"

She calmly glanced at Di Siheng, whose face had clearly darkened, and crossed her arms over her chest. "But Jiang Xu is determined to stay here no matter what. Even if you are Jiang Xu's best friend and master, you can't stop him."

"What if I must stop it?"

Seeing Lan Yin's gloomy face, Ye Wanqing's expression became slightly stern, and the feather in his hand flashed with dazzling green light. The sharp cold light and pressure shook the entire sea, and the chill surrounded his body.

"No one can take my people away without my permission."

"Hmph, you are so arrogant! If you didn't have the Lord of the Demon Realm protecting you, do you think you could appear before this emperor?"

The indigo skirt swept across the frost on the ground. Ye Wanqing tapped the fan bone with her fingertips. The cloud pattern on the fan suddenly burst into a faint blue light under the sunlight. The cold light poured out like an upside-down Milky Way. The sword sounded like a dragon's roar, shaking the surrounding algae and vines to fly upside down.

The faint sound of the dragon's roar made all the mermaids present tremble in their hearts, especially Lan Yin, who was at the center of the sound wave's pressure. She even felt that her mermaid pearl was showing signs of faint shattering.

Sensing the changes in her own mermaid pearl and mermaid tears, her dark blue pupils shrank suddenly, and she forced herself to suppress the pain from the mermaid pearl, "You...you are?"

In a flash, Ningyu turned into a sharp blade and pressed against Lan Yin's throat. Ye Wanqing raised her eyebrows slightly, and the dragon mark on her forehead was clearly displayed at this moment. Her aura became more and more enchanting with murderous intent.

"Then let me tell you today, it's never been others who protect me, but myself."

Before he finished speaking, the sword light wrapped in thousands of cold stars swept up, and wherever it passed, spider-web-like whirlpools appeared in the vast ocean.

The weaker mermaids present were all stunned by the sudden power of the sea.

From beginning to end, Di Siheng never reacted, but the tenderness and affection in his eyes became more and more intense.

At this moment, two excited and familiar voices sounded at the same time, breaking the serious and eerie atmosphere.

"master!"

"Auntie Lan!"

As if they had noticed the strange atmosphere between Ye Wanqing and Lan Yin, the Chu siblings intervened.

"Master, His Majesty Lan Yin is my mother's best friend and has a close relationship with my Jiutian Star Island. During this period, my brother and I have been staying in the Hao Clan's territory to recuperate."

"Auntie Lan, this is the master my sister and I were talking about, and also the Honored Lord."

Lan Yin had not yet recovered from the pressure just now, but when she heard the words of the Chu siblings, she was shocked. She was actually the master.

"Master, I... um..."

A mouthful of turbid blood spurted out, and Chu Musheng's Jade Soul Xiao, which had been temporarily suppressed, sensed Ye Wanqing's aura and began to riot again, while Ye Wanqing's Imperial Spirit Flute was also stirring in her mind.

"Ah Sheng!"

"Chu Musheng!"

An hour later, amidst everyone's worried looks, Yuhun Xiao and Chu Musheng successfully formed a contract, and with the nourishment of Yuhun Xiao, the power contained in Yuling Flute became even stronger.

While Ye Wanqing was transferring divine power to Chu Musheng, Lan Yin, who was standing by, became more and more frightened. With such a powerful divine pressure, if she had fought with her just now, would she have had any chance of winning?

"Ah Sheng, how are you?"

Chu Musheng's eyes suddenly opened, and he met the worried looks of Chu Guining and Lan Yin. The corners of his lips curled up, his expression full of excitement, "I'm fine. The backlash from the Jade Soul Xiao is gone. Thank you, Master."

"Ah."

She sensed that the Yuling Flute given to her by her master had improved a lot compared to before, and even its compatibility with herself had been further improved. This was the best thing for her.

"Thank you, sir, for saving Ah Sheng. I apologize for any offense I caused you just now. Please forgive me."

Lan Yin placed her left hand on her chest and knelt down in the most respectful etiquette of the mermaid clan, and the mermaid army behind her followed suit.

Seeing the mermaids being so humble towards her, Ye Wanqing crossed her arms, her eyes still blank and distant. "Where's Jiang Xu?"

As Di Siheng listened to Ye Wanqing mention Jiang Xu again, the heaviness in his eyes deepened. Ye Wanqing cared about Jiang Xu much more than he had guessed.

I feel a bitter feeling in my heart.

Seeing Jiang Xu mentioned again, Lan Yin's originally respectful expression changed a little. She raised her head and said, "My Lord, I'm not forcing Jiang Xu to stay. You should also be able to sense that the little mermaids of our tribe cannot grow up because of Jiang Xu's mother..."

Lan Yin recounted everything, each word sincere and heartfelt. She was angry at Lang Yue, but also felt sorry for the mermaids in her clan.

As the king of the sea, her mermaid clan naturally wanted to enjoy a free and easy life. However, because Elder Si Lu left his post without permission, her clan's space and time were restricted, and many newborn mermaids could not even grow up.

"My Lord, as the descendant of Langyue, Jiang Xu should shoulder the responsibility of our Hao clan. I beg you to obey the wishes of our Jiao people. Our Jiao people are also willing to submit to you like the other two clans!"

Lan Yin bowed her head and knelt again, and the army of mermaids behind her did the same.

Ye Wanqing pinched her brows. Although she didn't think Jiang Xu needed to take on any so-called responsibility, the Hao clan's problem still existed. "Forget it, let Jiang Xu decide for himself."
