Quick Wear: Let go of the desire to help others and respect the burial of the insane.

"You...you don't come any closer!"

Li Cheng couldn't get his mouthful of blood back up.

He watched helplessly as his jet-black hair turned white and his hands became covered in wrinkles.

"Li Cheng, you... how did you become like this?"

Bai Ruanruan pinched her nose with one hand and lifted her skirt with the other, quickly retreating to a distance of ten meters, shielding Li Cheng in front of her, and even stopped calling him "brother".

"yue~it smells so bad!"

An unpleasant, aged odor emanated from this group of merman royalty whose bloodlines had been stripped away.

Moreover, it was extremely foul-smelling, like a stinky sock that hadn't been washed for six months fermenting in acidic water for three years!

Which member of the merfolk royal family hasn't lived for an incredibly long time? The stench on their bodies has accumulated over a hundred years, resulting in a pure and authentic flavor!

So pure that other races can't help but pinch their noses.

"Ruanruan, I..."

Bai Ruanruan's statement was undoubtedly a knife to Li Cheng's heart.

He was merely stripped of his bloodline, not his life!

Could it be... could it be that Bai Ruanruan loves his looks rather than lusting after his body?

"Tsk, tsk."

Ning Jun threw his head back and laughed loudly.

“Your bodies are indeed as filthy as your souls.”

The old Mermaid King has fainted, and now the only one in charge of the Mermaid clan is Li Cheng.

He steeled his resolve and addressed the Seafood Clan.

"Everyone! My merfolk have been tormented to this extent by these so-called demons from the land."

"Aren't you afraid that the merfolk's present could be your future?"

"If you ask me, all the marine creatures should unite to fight against these monsters from the land!"

Li Cheng continued to strain his hoarse voice, using his remaining magic power to amplify his voice, almost raising his hands.

"Uphold the rightful sovereignty of our oceans! Reclaim the Dragon Pearls that belong to our oceans!"

As soon as he said that...

The entire room fell silent, everyone savoring Li Cheng's words.

The merfolk, stripped of their bloodlines, were filled with fervor, shouting, "That's right!"

"Dragon demons from the land have no right to strip us merfolk of our noble bloodline!"

"No one has the right to strip people of their bloodline!"

"No one has the right to strip our oceans of their glory!"

However, the stench emanating from their bodies meant that virtually no powerful demon wanted to approach them.

But Li Cheng's protagonist aura remains, as he cleverly connects the bloodline of the merfolk with the glory of the ocean.

Several vassal races of the Merfolk actually stepped forward.

They shouted that those from the land have no right to strip the ocean of its glory!

What a load of nonsense about the ocean's eternal glory! It's like we're entering some kind of academy.

As for where the glory lies, and what it has to do with these oppressed races, Ning Jun had no idea.

"Oh, is this your attitude?"

Ning Jun raised an eyebrow, glancing sideways as more and more seafood-related individuals stepped forward.

Li Cheng smiled confidently, "Yang Zhen, your actions today are nothing more than a moment of arrogance and recklessness!"

"I have the support of millions of sea creatures behind me; you can't win no matter what..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Immediately, a huge old crab swam out quickly.

Leading a group of clansmen, they transformed into human form before Ning Jun, quickly kneeling on the ground with expressions of humility.

"This humble one, along with my race, celebrates the new Dragon God! We are willing to follow the Dragon God's lead without question!"

"May Your Majesty the Dragon God possess unparalleled demonic power, and may few on land or sea be your match!"

The old crab didn't forget to look at Li Cheng and spit in his face.

"The Li family of merfolk only managed to seize the Dragon Palace by stealing the old Dragon God's legacy, making the ocean a mess. They're not even worthy to carry Your Majesty's shoes!"

"Only Your Majesty is the unifier of the four seas!"

Ning Jun cast a glance at him.

It was a crab covered in scars, and after transforming into human form, it could no longer hide the hideous scars on its face.

"Isn't that the swimming crab that stands guard at the entrance?"

"What a short-sighted little demon, rushing to his new master as soon as the wind shifts."

"Can't you all see that the new Dragon God needs the support of those powerful demons? Why is a security captain like him jumping out like this?"

"Look at those scars on his body, there might be a story behind them! I'm a friend of his brother's second uncle's nephew from his hometown..."

The seafood seemed to be whispering, but every word they said reached Ning Jun's ears.

This is a small swimming crab demon from the far sea. Originally, it was a crab general under the command of the merman royal family and made great contributions to the royal family.

However, due to old age, declining strength, and his upright nature, he was banished to serve as a gatekeeper and security guard, and his entire clan was reduced to servitude within the palace.

It's euphemistically called guarding the gates of the ocean and protecting its glory. It keeps retired cadres busy, giving them something to do, and demonstrates the benevolence of the royal family.

Even pigs aren't slaughtered like this.

"shut up!"

"Swimming Crab, how dare you! You're nothing but a dog kept by the Li family!" Li Cheng's face flushed red, wishing he could beat the swimming crab demon to death on the spot. "You sycophant, you'll surely die a horrible death!"

Yang Zhen's desire to unify the ocean also requires consulting the opinions of other powerful demons.

He could even use public opinion to demand that Yang Zhen return the Dragon Pearl.

If Yang Zhen were to return it, then it would be perfect for him to keep the Dragon Pearl and transform into a dragon on the spot. Presumably, the old Dragon God would not refuse a native like him.

If they don't return it, that's going against the will of the people, making them a dictator and tyrant! They deserve to be rebelled against by all!

As a result... the atmosphere he had painstakingly built up was completely ruined by this lowly crab demon.

destroyed!

Unbeknownst to Li Cheng, his innermost thoughts were being leaked to Ning Jun and the Reincarnation Pearl.

The two communicated in their mental space:

"Host, it seems your son-in-law doesn't respect you."

"So what if you're not convinced?" Ning Jun shook his middle finger. "Normally, there wouldn't be any major problems with what he did."

"can."

"This is the ocean! The Dragon Palace is the most feudal and backward place, devoid of any technological innovation. Power is everything. The Li family chose to continue being local tyrants in the deep sea. There's no public opinion to speak of there!"

This isn't a presidential election, where you need to win public support and then hold a vote that's not very open or transparent.

Although those politicians only make promises before taking office, they show a completely different face once elected, and they might only be normal when they retire.

But she doesn't need to do that; demons will naturally help her. If you don't do it, plenty of demons will.

"This reminds me of a short story."

"Legend has it that in a small world of cultivation, there is a special sect."

"In this sect, the elders who wield great power are elected by the outer disciples through a vote."

"I think this is the place Li Cheng longs for." They've really gone mad from enjoying the conveniences of modern society.

Ning Jun chuckled softly and withdrew from the consciousness space.

She snapped her fingers.

The little demons who had been gossiping earlier immediately knelt down, together with Li Cheng.

He kowtowed repeatedly, apologizing to the crab demon. His head was nearly broken from the kowtowing, and a large pool of blood was flowing from it, yet he still hadn't stopped.

This is the current situation.

Other monsters were not allowed to challenge the majesty of the new Dragon God; this was their fate.

The former merman prince just now was essentially handing a knife to the new dragon god, only to have the knife stab him in the back.

"Blue crab?"

"Very good." Ning Jun nodded. "From now on, you will be one of my top generals!"
