Gu Xi's smile further angered the fishman.

The merfolk leader flew into a rage and roared at Gu Xi, "What are you laughing at!"

"I find it funny that you laugh."

Seeing that it was trying its best to provoke its furious temper, Gu Xi grinned, opened his mouth wide, and showed his big white teeth to continue his sarcastic remarks.

"What blasphemy? You think the presence of sea monsters here lowers your status? Do you think you're some noble race?"

"Besides, the invitation is mine. I can give it to whomever I want. It's none of your business! You're really like a patrolman of the sea—meddling in other people's business."

After learning about the events of the Tar era, Gu Xi felt great sympathy for the sea monsters.

On the contrary, she found the deep-sea race, which belittled sea creatures and treated them as slaves, extremely displeasing.

"Do you think you're as good as Ais? Do you think you're more noble than Ais? Do you think you could have controlled the Flame Scale before, oh, that Flame Fish Beast that I won, without the bond of slavery?"

"You're really something! In a sea where strength reigns supreme, when did it become your place to criticize such a worthless and worthless person!"

"According to you, if you enslave any powerful fish, wouldn't that make you superior to all other deep-sea creatures?!"

Gu Xi raised her head slightly, looking down at the fish-man in front of her with disdain.

Her petite figure appeared incredibly tall at that moment.

"you!"

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Gu Xi chuckled again. "No, it's not that I said something wrong, it's that I hit your weak point!"

"No matter what kind of fish it is, it will become enraged if its weakness is exposed."

Seeing its increasingly abstract fish face, Gu Xi added provocatively.

"Yes! Just like you!"

Gu Xi's utter contempt for the merfolk provoked their extreme dissatisfaction.

Without warning, they flapped their tails and slammed towards Gu Xi.

But before the tail could fall, Gu Xi's spikes and Lorraine's weapon had already come crashing down.

They plunged themselves deep into the fishman's tail, pinning it firmly to the ground.

"ah--"

The fishmen screamed in agony, while Gu Xi praised them.

"Yes, Ais, you did a great job. You didn't even need to lift a finger to deal with this kind of trash!"

Faced with Gu Xi's words, the deep-sea creatures were filled with dread, thinking that a fish-man might actually be capable of such a thing.

Therefore, faced with this situation, the deep-sea creatures all supported Gu Xi.

"Yes, that's it!"

"Hit it! Hit it!"

"Pah! What a shameless fellow! So what if they're sea beasts? It's only the deep-sea creatures who enslave them who say such things!"

"Strength is paramount. Since the sea beasts are stronger than you, why are you still not backing down and even picking a fight? You've been living on land for too long! (To clarify, to avoid confusion: humans are brainwashed, while deep-sea creatures have naturally been living on land for too long.)"

"What an idiot! He actually thinks he can be above all the deep-sea creatures!"

"Hahaha, it seems like a great war between the deep-sea tribes is about to begin!"

"Give me more, I love watching!"

"Give me more, give me more."

...

Seeing the eager reactions of many deep-sea creatures, Gu Xi and his group, along with the fish, were speechless.

Since she's there to attend a meeting, she's unlikely to cause any real chaos. At most, she'll just provoke a verbal argument, and the fishman issue will be dealt with later.

As the atmosphere grew increasingly heated, the sea ghost arrived.

The sea ghosts drifted over and landed between Gu Xi and the fishman.

As the initiators of the conference, the sea ghosts naturally received more seats, and five sea ghosts came this time.

The sea ghost blinked its coiled eyes, glancing at the fishman whose tail was pinned, then at Gu Xi and her companions.

"Hey! I have to thank you Sea Ghosts for the suggested price on my auction item!"
