Ji Chengxi was stunned and looked at Xiao Zhi, who had already taken the lead and led his men into the Crystal Palace.

"Xiao Laogou, what are you doing here? How dare you! Ji Chengxi, you still have the nerve to come back!?"

Sensing the pressure of the SSS-level mental power, the mermaids rushed out in droves, led by none other than the mermaid leader, Ji Miao. A beautiful woman in her thirties, she was cold as ice and filled with murderous intent. The elegant middle-aged man beside her had bloodshot eyes. The moment he saw Ji Chengxi, his mental power surged. "Ji Chengxi, you little brat! Who gave you the guts to betray me and harm my Ming Xuan? You've arrived just in time."

The next second, Ji Chengxi's father was brought out. His face was pale. Humans cannot adapt to life in water, and he had difficulty breathing. His body was covered with bruises and there was not an inch of healthy skin. Just one glance at him made Ji Chengxi's hatred reach its peak.

"Father!"

He rushed forward, and the mermaids tried to stop themselves but were blown away by Xiao Zhi's mental power.

Ji Chengxi was fully prepared. He hurriedly took out the oxygen mask and put it on his father. With trembling hands, he lifted up his sleeves and saw the purple and blue scars that penetrated deep into the bone marrow. It was hard to imagine how much torture the man in front of him had endured. He was so thin that his bones were visible, and his eyes were dull. When he heard the familiar voice, his pupils gradually focused and his eyes trembled.

"Ji Miao, I didn't come here to fight with you today."

Xiao Zhi stood with his hands behind his back, his smile gentle but not reaching his eyes, his voice cold: "Ji Chengxi is now the Fourth Prince's man. You should know exactly what the Fourth Prince's status is in Weixing. Shen Qiangwei is already disabled. If nothing unexpected happens, the Fourth Prince will be the next empress. Do you, the little mermaids, want to go against Weixing Kingdom!?"

The raised volume of the last sentence successfully silenced them.

Xiao Zhi chuckled, "I'm here to discuss cooperation with you. Zhou Yi and Your Highness are close friends. If you accept him, you'll be befriending Your Highness. You'll have no trouble finding spiritual medicine in the future. If it weren't for Your Highness's request, I wouldn't even bother to come and let you take advantage of me. You know what's more important."

As soon as these words were spoken, the murderous mermaids instantly exploded, looking at each other and starting a heated discussion.

It is true that they live under the sea, but they also have some knowledge of information from the outside world, especially Chen Yin, whose psychotropic drugs have caused a sensation in the world. Who wouldn't be greedy?

Ji Mingxuan's father Jiang He panicked, "Chief! Mingxuan is Shen Qiangwei's beastly husband. If something happens to Shen Qiangwei, what will Mingxuan do?"

He could not accept this result. He watched helplessly as his only son, the young patriarch of the mermaid tribe, became an outcast of the family because he married the wrong person, allowing Ji Chengxi and his son to take advantage of them and replace their father-son relationship.

Jiang He's eyes were bloodshot as he glared fiercely at Wen He, who was being protected by Ji Chengxi. This bitch should have died long ago. She had managed to survive for so many years by relying on her thick skin to let the clan leader keep her obsessed with her. Now she was actually trying to step on them father and son to get to the top. How could that bastard Ji Chengxi deserve that!

As soon as he said this, he was reprimanded by Xiao Zhi.

"Nonsense! You mermaids are full of idiots! Is now the time to consider the young master? The young master exists to lead the tribe to better development, not to hinder it. You don't even have this awareness. No wonder you mermaids have been suppressed by us for a hundred years, a bunch of idiots! Ji Miao, the young master can be replaced at any time. You only have one chance. Destroy the tribe or cooperate? Haha, you decide for yourself!"

Xiao Zhi sneered repeatedly, stretched out his hand and grabbed the air, Wen He fell into his hand, and threw him to the tribesmen behind him to watch over, his eyes dark and unclear.

"Xiao Zhi, you old bastard! Don't even think about harming my son!"

Jiang He was furious. What tribe? He only had this one son. What use was the mermaid tribe if his son was gone!

"This stinking bug has come to our doorstep to sow discord. What are you still standing there for? Strangle him immediately, along with that bastard father and son!!!"

The mermaids were restless, but no one took action. It had nothing to do with anything else. The royal family of MSI was like a mountain pressing down on them. If the army was dispatched, their tribe would cease to exist. Also, the temptation of the spiritual potion was huge. If they could really make friends with the royal family, they would not have to worry about the potion in the future.

Seeing that no one obeyed his orders, Jiang He flew into a rage, but Ji Miao raised his hand to stop him. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Chief Xiao, please take a seat. We will discuss the details."

Xiao Zhi just walked in like this.

No matter how angry the river is, it cannot change the outcome.

“…”

With Xiao Zhi's mediation, Ji Miao realized the horror of Chen Yin. After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to compromise and let them take Wen He away. At the same time, he publicly acknowledged his identity as the prince of the mermaid tribe in the west of Jicheng, and was no longer a bastard with low status like a servant who could be bullied by everyone.

The identity has undergone a drastic change.

"Thank you, Fourth Prince. If it weren't for you, I would never have been able to help my father."

After receiving the summons, Chen Yin went out of the palace and met Wen He, who had been tortured for more than 20 years, in the villa owned by Quan Yue.

Even Chen Yin, who was used to seeing handsome guys, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The man looked to be about thirty years old, elegant and handsome, with a scholarly air, which was in sharp contrast to the seductiveness of the mermaids. His skin was as white as snow and he had a unique charm. No wonder the mermaid leader was crazy and imprisoned him.

"Fourth... Your Highness."

Wen He's voice was weak, his skinny body fell down at the slightest gust of wind, and the capillaries on his skin were clearly visible.

Chen Yin nodded and frowned. "You're welcome. You just returned to land and need time to rest. Chengxi, take your father to the bedroom to rest first. It's absolutely safe here. I'm here. Don't worry. I will send people to protect him. There are surveillance cameras at the door. If anyone breaks in, the palace guards will be there in five minutes."

From Shen Yin's perspective, Wen He is like an innocent woman who was trafficked to a poor mountainous area in modern times, forced to give birth and imprisoned for many years. The mermaid tribe leader is an old woman who is hundreds of years old. She captures decent women and men and is extremely unethical.

Even someone as shameless as Chen Yin couldn't help but spit on him.

Wen He didn't know how many years it had been since he had received kindness from the outside world. He was speechless and just bowed solemnly to Chen Yin. Then, with the support of his son, he walked up the stairs with a staggering gait.

After watching the father and son disappear, Chen Yin cast his gaze on Xiao Zhi who was eating fruit on the sofa.

This villa was prepared by Quan Yue in advance by Chen Yin. Food, nutrients, and medicines were all prepared. However, the moment Xiao Zhi entered the house, he only thought of eating, like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Considering his hard work and great contributions, Chen Yin didn't say anything more and just threw out a stack of documents.

"The detailed formula of the C-level potion. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I will provide after-sales service here. I will do what I say."

Xiao Zhi, who was hit in the face, subconsciously frowned. After realizing what it was, he was shocked and hurriedly picked it up to look at it.

Her fair cheeks flushed slightly, and she was extremely excited.

After negotiating with Shen Yin for so long, I finally got it!

Xiao Zhi couldn't wait any longer, so he picked up the documents and planned to return to the underwater dragon clan.

"Wait, I have something else for you to do."

Chen Yin picked up the apple, took a bite, and called Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi turned around and squinted his eyes, as if he had heard something funny. "Chen Yin, don't confuse the big and small kings. The deal is done, and you still want to treat me like a dog?"
