"Also, it was Empress Ling who protected us at the critical moment, and we escaped! Later, it was Empress Ling's subordinates who led us all the way to avoid the soldiers patrolling the demon clan, and then we joined His Highness!"
"There are indeed many cunning and insidious evil people among humans, but not everyone is like that! There are also good people in the human race, just like Empress Ling! Maya believes that Empress Ling is a good person! I won't allow you to slander her!
"
Maya was like an enraged lioness, glaring at the other person, as if she would pounce on him and bite him to death if he said anything bad about Ling Niangniang again!
"You... are simply presumptuous! You are just a little maid, how dare you talk to me like this?"
"She can't tell, what about me?"
"Your Highness?!"
The tear demon walked out slowly, holding down Maya's shoulders that were shaking in anger, "Can't you even speak to me anymore?"
"Old minister, I don't dare."
"Maya is right, she is different from others." The tear demon turned around, "Father, along the way, I have met too many people, including demons, humans, monsters, and even the Sea Spirits who were good friends with us...
But none of them are willing to help us."
"At that time, I was captured by the demons and became a slave. I was destined to be slaughtered, but I happened to meet her. She rescued me and escorted me all the way out of the city! At that time, the city was already in crisis, and the demons were searching for her.
, Ke’er made a deal with her because she wanted to kill Ao Sha.”
"Yao'er?!"
"Father, don't worry, listen to what I have to say. The deal is, she helped me kill Ao Sha, and I will accept his love. At that time, I had no other choice. So many merfolk had died, and that Ao Sha had to die.
"
"Although it was a deal, I had nothing at the time. Even if I risk the entire mermaid clan to negotiate a deal with Fanxu's empress, do you think we have the weight?"
The tear demon's blue eyes swept down below, and there was a silence below.
"But she still agreed."
His blue eyes flashed with an unknown light, "No matter what she thought, or she had ulterior motives, she did help us kill the enemy we hated so much! She is kind to our mermaid clan."
The tear demon paused, then continued.
"I, a mermaid, always seek revenge and repay kindness. She not only saved me and Maya, but also killed our enemies on our behalf. I will keep this kindness in my heart. Father, if you feel it is inappropriate, then
I am willing to shoulder the responsibility and will not implicate the entire mermaid clan."
The mermaid king quickly said, "Yao'er, what are you talking about? You are the future king of my mermaid tribe, and you are my most beloved child. Although you have made a deal, she does have a favor for my mermaid tribe, and you cannot be kind to me."
We suffered it, but we made you pay the price!"
The mermaid king exuded majesty, "I, the mermaid tribe, cannot do such ungrateful things!"
He glanced at the man in warning. The man shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything!
"The king is right! Your Highness, this Weichen of Emperor Fanxu knows something about her. She is a decent person and a trustworthy person. If Weichen's prediction is true, she may save you because she hopes that we, the mermaid clan, will inherit her.
In order to allow Fanxu's army to be stationed in the West Sea."
"Then let her!"
The Mermaid King waved his sleeves and made the final decision!
"Your Majesty, think twice! If the demons find out, they will be furious and question us! If we offend the demons, how can we live a good life in the future? I don't know how many clan members will die..."
"shut up!"
The Mermaid King shouted fiercely, "My mermaid clan and the demon clan have a blood feud! In the past, what did we get in exchange for giving in step by step? It was their intensified oppression and humiliation! Why is Ao Sha so unscrupulous and killing my people at will? Who do you think you are?
Give it the courage? Isn't it Mo Linyuan? They have never put us in their eyes, from beginning to end, just as a group of playthings that can be played and controlled at will!"
"In the world of Middle-earth, the strong are respected. The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy! The demon clan is powerful. If we don't seek the support of the strong, we will be swallowed up by them sooner or later. Even though the Night Emperor is a human race, he can deal with it after regaining the West Sea.
We never cheat
We have been humiliated and suppressed, and even Fanxu is the only place in the entire continent where the sale of mermaids is prohibited! Now that the empress has shown kindness to us and saved the lives of my son and my people, it is clear that they can be trusted. "
"It's time to make up your mind!"
The Mermaid King raised his voice and said, "I announce that from today on, our mermaid clan will officially be included in the realm of Fanxu! Minister Zuo!"
"Wei Chen is here!"
"Immediately draft an edict and announce it to all clan members! And immediately arrange for people to go to Wentian City in person to express my gratitude to this benefactor!"
****
From then on, the mermaid clan officially declared to the world and submitted to Fanxu.
This is also the first step for the mermaid tribe to truly accept humans and gradually step out of the sea.
It was also from this day that the mermaid tribe ushered in a new era.
In the following years, the mermaid tribe gradually began to land on land, trying to make contact with humans, until they later had commercial contacts.
With the development of several years, outsiders can see such a strange scene in the Fanxu world, that is, in the bustling street market, mermaid vendors can be seen everywhere, and they are bargaining with the people of Fanxu who look familiar.
There is a scene of a young mermaid having fun with a human child.
This is also praised by the world as one of the ten wonders of Fanxu.
The Fanxu Empire has truly become a paradise on earth that can accommodate all things and integrates various races, skin colors, different cultures and humanistic characteristics that countless people yearn for.
Of course, this is all a story for later, let’s not mention it for now.
****
Time goes back to the second day when Ling Xuewei and the others returned to Wentian City.
After resting for a night, Ling Xuewei found Xiong Cang and brought out the unconscious Sea Spirit Tribe from the space.
"Empress, it is..."
"That's right, because of time constraints, I didn't tell you what happened at the auction venue before. This Sea Spirit tribe was a little strange. He had been unconscious since he went on a rampage that day. I checked that the breath in his body was very weak, but there was no danger to his life.
Because I can't help them, I don't dare to give him medicine rashly..."
Xiong Cang didn't expect such a strange thing to happen.
Everyone knows that the Hailing tribe is docile and honest. Although they are extremely intelligent, they live in isolation from the world and do not know the ways of the world. They easily trust others and are very simple.
This is also the reason why they went to extermination.
But this Sea Spirit Tribe... is really different. It was able to kill two disciples from the God Realm, and it was in such a cruel way! This seems to be a bit different from the rumors of the Sea Spirit Tribe!
"Then what the young master means is..."
Ling Xuewei said, "My suggestion is to temporarily place him in a secluded place and send someone to guard him in case of accidents. Go and inquire about the Hailing Clan. It's best to be as detailed as possible."
"My subordinate understands."
Therefore, Xiongcang vacated a nearby courtyard and placed the Hailing clan in it. (To be continued)
