But their proud mermaid king was standing with that female—what was this if not a betrayal of them!

Yu Wanwan watched as the mermaids' eyes gradually shifted from initial confusion to hatred, and her heart sank deeper and deeper.

If Lan Yin continues to protect him, he will definitely lose the support of the people. Forget about becoming the Mermaid King, he might not even be able to stay in the seabed.

"Little female, now is a good opportunity. Use the fishbone in your hand to kill the Mermaid King!"

Suddenly, the voice of the Beast God appeared in her mind, startling Yu Wanwan, who nervously looked around.

How could that be? She was clearly underwater and didn't encounter any plants!

"We were able to contact you using divine power. Time is running out, so kill the Mermaid King quickly!"

The voice of the God of Time also rang out: "Don't worry, as soon as the Mermaid King dies, we will send you back immediately and will never let you encounter any danger!"

“But…” Yu Wanwan hesitated. She simply couldn’t bring herself to harm Lan Yin, especially since Lan Yin was currently fighting against everyone to protect her. She couldn’t possibly do these things behind his back.

Seeing that she didn't move, they urged her again: "The Mermaid King was supposed to die anyway. His position in the hearts of the merfolk has already collapsed. If we kill him in front of everyone now, the merfolk will only think that he was deceived. Even if he dies, he will still be the respected Mermaid King he used to be!"

"Little female, you probably don't want Lan Yin to die and then have to endure all this abuse, do you?"

"Now is the best time to strike!"

The beast gods kept urging her on, one after another, making Yu Wanwan's head ache.

She clutched her head in discomfort, interrupting the beast gods.

"Stop arguing!" Yu Wanwan rarely lost her temper.

"Lanyin is my friend, I just can't help it." Call her useless or soft-hearted, but as long as she thinks of Lanyin's gentle eyes and all the little moments they've shared, she just can't convince herself otherwise.

Success depends on human effort; there must be other ways. Yu Wanwan didn't believe that Lan Yin was destined to die.

She took out the fishbone hidden in her clothes, intending to throw it away, but as soon as she let go, a large, cold hand enveloped her, holding the fishbone in its grasp.

Lan Yin tightened her grip on her arm, her eyes swirling with complex emotions as she looked down at her.

"Wanwan, you actually wanted to kill me, didn't you?"

Actually, Lan Yin had already noticed it at that time. He saw the fishbone and knew that Yu Wanwan was approaching him with the fishbone, but he was unwilling to expose her, so he pretended not to know.

He tugged at the corners of his mouth, a smile tinged with sadness: "I'm so stupid, aren't I? How could a hot-blooded beastman like the seabed?"
