The Beast God was filled with anticipation, but the Mirror Lake before him returned to its original state, and he could no longer see anything.
Yu Wanwan gripped the fishbone tighter and tighter, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to harm Lan Yin.
She tossed the fishbone aside and sat down dejectedly.
Lan Yin didn't sleep for long, but he felt like he was fully charged, and his whole body was full of energy.
The two sat facing each other eating. Yu Wanwan swallowed the food in her mouth and asked, "Lanyin, do you think there's a chance that the Cold and Hot tribes will one day reconcile and stop fighting?"
Lan Yin paused in her hand as she picked up some food for her: "Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Yu Wanwan avoided his gaze and stammered, "I was just curious..."
She wondered if the cold and hot tribes wouldn't fight, would she be able to avoid hurting Lan Yin?
Lan Yin pursed her lips and after a long while gave an answer: "Maybe it's possible, but it will be a bit difficult."
The cold and hot races have now reached a point of irreconcilable conflict, and the merfolk have even betrayed the Beast God and sided with the God of Darkness. Unless the two gods cease their opposition, the war will continue indefinitely.
"Do you have a solution?" Yu Wanwan looked at him expectantly. As the Fish King, Lan Yin might have a better way to solve this problem, so that the fishbone might not need to be removed.
This was an incredibly difficult task, but Lan Yin did not refuse immediately. Instead, she said, "Let me go back and think about it."
He didn't want war either, but the little female hoped the two races could reconcile. If that was the little female's wish, he was willing to try for her sake no matter what.
He said he would go back and think about it, and he really did start thinking about it seriously.
But Yu Wanwan didn't know that. All she knew was that Lan Yin came less and less, and even Qing Xun didn't come much anymore.
Yu Wanwan was bored out of her mind and stared at the knife in a daze all day.
Over there, the elders began to monitor Lanyin and Qingxun even more intensely.
He felt that something was off about the two of them lately. Before, Qingxun would go out every day, but recently she hasn't even left the house.
And then there's Lan Yin, who previously evaded the people he sent. If there were no secrets involved, why would he have done that?
However, since Lan Yin had discovered that he had people in the royal palace, his people could no longer enter the royal palace. The elder had no choice but to have people watch outside the royal palace.
Lan Yin placed the silk thread with the written text on it on the table and looked at the text with a complicated expression.
This is a truce declaration, proof that the Merfolk intend to cease hostilities with the Blood Beast Clan. However, he still needs to lay the groundwork and get his people to accept it before he can send the truce declaration out.
But who should deliver it, and how to get it to the Beast King, is also a problem.
Regarding Yu Wanwan, Lan Yin was even thinking that the seabed had been quite turbulent lately, and it was not safe for the little female to stay there. Perhaps sending her back to land would be a way to protect her.
There was a knock on the door. Lan Yin said "Come in," and the door opened, revealing Qing Xun's figure.
She walked in and looked at Lan Yin expectantly: "Uncle, I want to ask you, can I go find Wanwan?"
Ever since Lan Yin told her to visit Yu Wanwan less often, Qingxun had been holding back, but as time went on, she couldn't resist any longer and finally came to find Lan Yin.
Lan Yin patted her head: "Go if you want to, and bring me some food while you're at it."
Wanwan has been alone these past few days and must be very bored. It would be good if Qingxun could keep her company.
Moreover, with the elders watching him, he had no way to escape and could only go less often. But the fewer times he went, the more he had to bring with him each time, making him a bigger target. Over time, he was bound to be discovered.
It might be better if Qingxun went in his place.
But he didn't expect that even when facing the beloved and harmless Qingxun, the elder would have someone watch over her.
Qingxun was too young to realize that someone was following her. Although she left the house quietly, she was still discovered.
The mermaid, watching from the shadows, stared wide-eyed at the female in the bubble. After the little princess left, she immediately took the message to report to the elder.
The elder never expected that there would be a hot-blooded beastman in the sea. The mermaid asked him what to do. The elder thought for a moment and told someone to keep an eye on Yu Wanwan.
Qingxun is too young to handle such a big thing; the only possibility is that someone is helping her.
Sure enough, three days later, they saw the merman king who had come looking for a female.
Upon hearing this, the elder immediately smashed a cup.
Those are their mortal enemies; how could the Mermaid King allow a female member of the Bloodthirsty Beast Clan to remain at the bottom of the sea?
He thought for a moment, then immediately sent men to capture the female, while he went to find Lanyin.
At that moment, Lan Yin was packing her luggage to go find Yu Wanwan when the door was pushed open.
Lan Yin turned around, frowned, and asked, "Elder, what are you doing here?"
The elder glanced at the luggage behind him and sneered, "Your Majesty, where are you planning to go?"
Lan Yin took two steps and used her body to block the luggage: "It's nothing, if you have something to say, just go outside and talk."
The elder was unwilling to leave; he had come here today to confront them.
He stepped forward and questioned directly, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to handle the attack on the Bloodthirsty Beast Clan?"
Lan Yin didn't know why he asked about this again, so she turned to the side and continued to deal with him: "I said I need time to arrange it."
"Arrangements?" the elder sneered. "Arrangements for what? Arrangements for when he will mate with that female?"
Lan Yin's face suddenly turned ugly. She turned her head and her eyes sharpened: "What did you say?"
