“Eavesdropping is fine, asking her about her criteria for choosing a partner is fine, but you don’t need to make your High Priest change his mind to her criteria.” Jiang Si said in a deep voice, “Your High Priest is such a proud person, he doesn’t need to lower himself or compromise.”

"Love is mutual affection, equal footing, willing tolerance, and sweet dedication. Love that is forced or forced will not last and will be too tiring."

Quanjian released Jiang Si's hand: "Yes, I was too worried and too hasty. I will pay attention and take our family's high priest as the master."

"Let's go!" Jiang Si nodded, patted her shoulder, and took the lead out. Quan Jian hurriedly followed, tiptoeing like a thief.

The two went up to the third floor together. Jiang Si knocked on Yan Liu's door three times and then three times, but Yan Liu's door did not open. However, the door of the neighboring Hunter opened.

The hunter, dressed in a black silk robe that revealed his muscular chest, his hair damp and his body shrouded in moisture, glanced at the spring and then fixed his gaze on Jiang Si. With outsiders present, he did not address her as "master" but called her by her name: "Jiang Jiang, Yan Liu isn't here. She went out for a night run to recover and might not be back tonight. Do you need to see her? I'll go find her."

Jiang Si knew that Yan Liu had a habit of going outside. She was a tree, and the most direct way to cultivate herself was to take root in the ground. Behind Abel Manor was a primeval forest, where plants were nourished by other plants, which was the purest form of nourishment.

“It’s nothing serious. I just couldn’t sleep tonight and wanted to chat with her for a bit.” Jiang Si said, “No need to go see her. Don’t delay her recovery. We can talk about it at breakfast tomorrow morning.”

"Alright, it's getting late, Jiang Jiang, you should go to sleep!" Hunter bowed slightly, extremely respectful and polite to Jiang Si, but towards Quan Jian, his gaze shifted and his voice turned cold, like a Sichuan opera face-changing act: "Your Majesty, the night is long. If you can't sleep, you can browse the internet, watch dramas, or handle your government affairs remotely, instead of disturbing Jiang Jiang's sleep."

Quanjian pouted, his lips trembling as if they could hold two pounds of oil: "I'd like to handle my government affairs remotely, but the star system between the Abel Galaxy and the Milky Way isn't connected, so I can't do it remotely even if I wanted to."

"Jiang Jiang, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. We can ask about what we agreed on tomorrow. There's no rush. Go and rest, go and rest now!"

Jiang Si smiled slightly, told them to say goodnight, and then turned and walked downstairs.

Once the hunter was sure he couldn't hear her footsteps and that she had entered the house, his dark eyes coldly stared at Quanjian. The so-called "Queen of the Deep Sea" was nonexistent; he simply called out to her, "Little mermaid, what business do you have with my Jiang Jiang in the middle of the night?"

The ice man who had been hunted shivered from the cold and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "No wonder he's the High Priest's chosen one. Look at that aura, that presence, that strong chest, those long legs, those powerful forearms..."

Hey, what's that on his wrist? A black bracelet, wrapped around his wrist several times?

Wow, I never knew he had a hobby of wearing jewelry.

The black bracelet was shiny and had two horns attached to the ends.

Quanjian wanted to get a better look, but Hunter put his hands behind his back and said to her, "Little mermaid, next time you're not allowed to stay up late looking for my Jiangjiang, understand?"

Quanjian was captivated by the bracelet on the hunter's wrist. It was a style she had never seen before. She felt that the bracelet was shiny black, and the scales on it were very realistically hand-carved. Moreover, she thought that there were two small horns on the top of the bracelet.

"Understood, understood!" Quanjian was a typical coward who was also strong. While she was afraid of Hunter's cold air, she still tried to look behind him to see his hands: "Hunter, I want to ask, what is the material of the bracelet on your left wrist? Where did you buy it? Let's add each other on the phone, can you give me a shopping link?"

The hunter's eyes narrowed, flashing a dangerous light: "Personalized customization, no link!"

"Personalized customization?" Quanjian suddenly realized, "So it's personalized customization! No wonder the gloss is so good, it's so realistic, so beautiful, and so unique. Can you give me the designer's contact information? I want to order one too!"

The hunt takes a step forward.

Quanjian involuntarily took a step back, stammering, "What are you doing? I just think your bracelet is pretty and I want to order the same one."

The hunter carried the assassin on his back, taking one step forward after another. The powerful aura he inadvertently exuded made Quanjian's legs tremble. She gritted her teeth; she was the Queen of the Deep Sea, she would bleed but not shed tears, and even if her legs went weak, she would never kneel down.

"Realistic, beautiful, unconventional?" Hunter said, enunciating each word clearly, "What does that have to do with you? This is my one and only. Whether it's beautiful, realistic, or unconventional is none of your business!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Quanjian said three times. "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean anything by it. It's getting late, I'm sleepy, I'm going back to my room to sleep. Good night!"

Quanjian, like a coward, didn't wait for Liesha's reply after speaking. She nimbly rolled into her room, closed the door, leaned against it, patted her chest, and gasped for breath, saying, "I'm so scared! I'm so scared! I'm so scared!"

Hunting truly lives up to his reputation as the High Priest's destined partner. Just by standing there in the deep sea, his aura alone could subdue even the most rebellious mermaids.

Hunter glanced at the tightly closed door of Quanjian's room from outside, touched Jiang Dandan's body coiled around his wrist, turned around and went back into the room, took off his bathrobe, got into bed, placed Jiang Dandan's coiled hand on his bare chest, covered himself with the quilt, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

Jiang Si returned to her room and went to the study, but didn't go in. She leaned against the door and said to Agares, "Agares, if you're sleepy, go to sleep first. I'm going out for a bit."

Hearing her voice, Agares stood up from his chair, took out a coat from his personal storage device, and walked over: "Where are you going?"

Jiang Si stretched out her arms and put on her coat: "Go find Yan Liu, she might not be back tonight!"

Agares buttoned up her coat, put on her shoes and socks, and kissed her: "Okay, go ahead!"

As he left, Jiang Si stood on tiptoe and returned his kiss: "Go to sleep early!"

Agares nodded, watching Jiang Si walk through the bedroom to the balcony, climb onto the balcony, and leap, like a shooting star gliding into the distant primeval forest.

In the heart of the vast primeval forest, small wild animals are fast asleep, trees are bathed in moonlight, and the leaves rustle in the night breeze.

The leaves crunched crisply underfoot. In the heart of the primeval forest, the willow tree, with its trunk too large for several people to encircle, emitted sparks of light from its drooping branches, like fireflies.

The tiny sparks, like small flames, should have fallen to the ground and disappeared, but with Jiang Si's arrival, all the sparks emanating from the willow smoke drifted onto Jiang Si.

Jiang Si walked over, patted the willow tree that had turned into a tree, and said to her, "Do you still remember the prophecy of the beastman Hu Xian, that the heir to the Troya Empire would be entangled with a dragon and a knife?"

The swaying branches of the willow tree responded to her: "I remember, I remember it very clearly!"

Seeing her response, Jiang Si added, "When I heard his prophecy, my conditioned reflex was that it was the little dragon's love affair, but I never expected that it wasn't the little dragon's love affair, but the love affair of the hunted."

"Yanliu, Yanliu, can you believe it? Our hunter was actually the destined partner calculated by Cangying, the high priest of the deep-sea mermaid clan."

"Damn it!" Yan Liu cursed. She hadn't wanted to transform into a human and stay in the soil, since her master wouldn't mind. But after hearing such exciting news, she couldn't stay in the soil any longer. She stopped absorbing the essence of the sun and moon and transformed into a human. Her eyes shone with excitement as she stared straight at Jiang Si: "Master, this is so exciting! Is that broken knife the destined companion for the little dragon cub?"

Jiang Si nodded: "His Queen said so."

"What Xiaoquanjian said is absolutely right, absolutely reliable!" Yanliu slapped her thigh, looking just like someone had buried countless fertilizers under her tree roots. "No wonder, no wonder, that little golden dragon cub was covered in blood and wounds. I tried to treat him, but he wouldn't. It turns out that his love was unrequited, and he couldn't get his destined partner, so he was determined to torture himself and seek death!"
