Yan Zi was somewhat surprised. Was this dragon princess deliberately imprisoning her in such a place?

She pretended to think for a moment, then asked, "Has the princess said when I will be released? My family is waiting for me."

The guard was taken aback when he heard this.

He was puzzled: "No other humans have ever been to this area. How could your family be here?"

Yan Zi was stunned for a moment, and just as she opened her mouth to explain, he interrupted her.

"I understand. Do you want to leave our dragon race and go to another race?"

Yan Zi instinctively felt that she couldn't say the answer to this question!

She sighed regretfully, "How could I dare to think that? I just haven't seen the princess yet, and I miss her a little."

The guards were taken aback when they heard this. They had been ordered by the princess to take good care of this human and prevent her from getting into trouble. However, they had not expected that this human would have such a relationship with the dragon princess. If that was the case, then his somewhat disrespectful behavior just now might have offended her.

The guard felt terrible just thinking about it.

While Yan Zi was still pondering what excuse she could use to leave safely, the guard stepped forward and unlocked her chains.

Yan Zi was full of questions, not quite understanding what the guard meant.

"Her Highness is on the 6th floor. You can go directly to her!"

Before Yan Zi could figure it out, an array beneath her feet began to spin, suspending her in mid-air. In the blink of an eye, she found herself in an unfamiliar area.

She appeared on a path paved with red gemstones.

The surrounding area was filled with magnificent, glittering buildings.

She was a little confused as to why the guard had suddenly given her that look and then teleported her to this place.

Yan Zi tried using her own panel to locate herself, but it only showed that she was in the Dragon Clan area.

She sighed helplessly and could only walk along the path. Soon she passed one small shop after another that resembled a storefront, and then entered a reception room.

She had barely pushed open the door when the scene inside startled her.

Sarapo was slammed to the floor by an incredibly thick tail, his entire body trembling uncontrollably with fear.

The fish tail was also squeezed until it turned purple, as if it had been tortured.

The moment Yan Zi opened the door, she felt like she was floating.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a scene, and she was truly at a loss.

There was no sound when I came here just now, so how come it's like this as soon as I opened the door?

Yan Zi apologized somewhat apologetically and was about to close the door when a strong gust of wind swept in, pulling her inside, and then the door slammed shut.

Yan Zi suddenly felt a pain in her back and then fell onto the soft sofa.

The mermaid was lying next to her.

Yan Zi was utterly astonished, her gaze fixed on the enormous tail pressing down on him.

As if it had a mind of its own, the tail stood up the moment she looked over and even waved to her!

Yan Zi stared in shock, her mouth agape.

A human head emerged from behind the snake.

Yan Zi looked closely and saw a beautiful woman with long, wavy, fiery red hair...

She seemed to emerge from the depths of a molten gold sunset, as the golden light of the setting sun cascaded down upon her, her fiery red curls cascading like a waterfall of lava to her waist, the tips of which danced with the eternal flames of the dragon race.

She wore a rose-red halter dress made of crimson dragon scales that clung to her skin, and the thousands of rhomboid scales rippled with iridescent light as she moved, as if she were wearing flowing armor woven from the sunset.

The skirt's hem is cleverly designed to resemble gradually fading ripples, while the dragon's tail shyly wraps around the tip of the pale pink fish tail, the boundary between dragon and fish ambiguously blending in the crimson mist.

Scales and armor play a duet in the interplay of light and shadow, and the power of the red dragon and the gentleness of the mermaid achieve a breathtaking harmony where their tail fins overlap.

Yan Zi was stunned. It looked like a painting, truly breathtakingly beautiful!

Perhaps it was her intense gaze that made the person involved feel slightly uncomfortable...

Even Princess Sevina felt uncomfortable under that blatant gaze. She gritted her teeth and retracted her dragon tail, then took an extremely long curtain to cover Sarabo's tail.

Yan Zi then realized how inappropriate her gaze had been and gave an awkward laugh.

"Human, what are you doing here?"

Sevina's voice carried an inherent authority, like a seasoned female general judging her subordinates.

Yan Zi: "I don't know where I offended the princess, so I came here specifically to find out why."

Sevina: "You have hurt my lover so badly, shouldn't I lock you in jail for a few days?"

Yan Zi frowned: "The wounds on his body were caused by someone else and have nothing to do with me. I completed the task you assigned and saved him, but you condemned me without even knowing the facts. Isn't that unfair?"

Sevina immediately unleashed her full power, and an aura of pressure descended upon her.

Yan Zi was so shocked that she staggered back several steps and spat out a mouthful of blood.

When Sarapo saw this, he was so frightened that he stood up straight. His fishtail instantly turned into two legs and he rushed over in a hurry, grabbing Sevina's waist.

"Princess, Princess, please don't hurt her! She's truly innocent; she saved me!"

"Waaaaah, she's not a bad person, please don't hurt her!"

Sevina was stunned. She hadn't expected that the little mermaid who had just been so defiant would actually beg for mercy in a humble manner for the sake of a human.

This is clearly not what she wanted to see.

Sevina's face visibly turned ashen; she looked truly furious.

She took several deep breaths to suppress her heartache, pried his hand away, and then looked at the human who was still vomiting blood.

"I can let today's matter drop, but from this day forward, you shall never set foot on my dragon territory again!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Zi couldn't help but sneer.

The situation is compelling, and we have no choice but to accept it.

"Very well, I will obey Your Highness's orders and never set foot on the Dragon Clan's territory again!"

Yan Zi spoke these words with a firm and resounding voice, without the slightest hint of discouragement.

Sevina was taken aback.

The dragon race has vast resources, yet the tiny human race dares to say they don't want them. They truly have backbone.

It's a pity that I can't use them.

She glanced at Sarapo beside her and sighed inwardly.

If this little mermaid hadn't harbored some feelings for that human, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

A love rival is not allowed to appear in front of her.

Even if the other party may achieve success in the future!

She couldn't possibly keep her here, much less train her herself!

Sending her back to the rift wasn't exactly breaking the rules; it was simply returning her to where she came from, without causing any unnecessary bloodshed...

...

Yan Zi was forcibly stuffed back into the spatial rift by Sevina.

The reverse flow caused by the spatial turbulence inflicted indelible damage on her.

Fortunately, her contracted beasts are all reliable.

Just as she was about to be completely absorbed and swept away by the crack, several locators were quickly thrown at her, and she was successfully transferred to the initial anchor point of the chaotic battlefield.
