"Arrogant! How dare you lay a hand on those in power!"
After a moment of silence, a tall merman guard spoke first.
Xi Wuri gently raised his hand to stop the guard.
"It seems like you guys started it, right?"
Those who plot against candidates for the throne and scheme against them in secret will find out their fate once they arrive in the capital.
Yan Quan said calmly, while Hua Keshu on his shoulder fell silent as if resigned to her fate.
He shifted slightly, as if he were really about to leave at any moment.
"etc……"
The wolf clan candidate, who had been sitting quietly inside, finally spoke, silencing the others.
"If you don't form an alliance with us this time, when the real war begins, your cat clan will probably be the first to perish..."
Lang Tianheng spoke, his tone calm, yet strangely ruthless.
"Yan Quan... put me down, I... I know what to do."
Hua Keshu muttered to herself, "There are still so many people here. I've already lost all face. That idiot Yan Quan, he has to take responsibility for himself."
"What a joke! There's only one Demon Emperor, so why would he need an alliance?"
We'll see then, but don't do anything too sneaky. I'm afraid some of you will be executed by the Demon Emperor's Ten Guards before then.
Ahem, anyway, I'll first thank Brother Wu Ri on behalf of my superior for his hospitality these past few days.
After a short rest, we will leave. Please find other partners to cooperate with. Those of you from the cat tribe, please return.
After saying this, Yan Quan took Hua Keshu and stepped into space, disappearing from the spot, leaving everyone present stunned.
"Emptiness, the laws of space?"
This guy actually knows the laws of space?!
"How could the cat clan have such a person?..."
"..."
As the discussions continued, the equally bewildered cat people quickly retreated.
Xi Wuri and Lang Tianheng's expressions became even more serious.
"Brother Wu Ri, why didn't you take action when he broke in?"
Lang Tianheng asked unhappily, and got up to leave.
Xi Wu Ri looked helplessly at her younger sister, who had once again chased after Yan Quan and left, and shook her head.
"Brother Tianheng, can't you see that this person has a mysterious identity and considerable abilities?"
I'm afraid eliminating him won't be an easy task, and it might even come at a huge cost to me. What good would it do me? After all, we have more than one opponent.
Brother Tianheng…you should tone down those overly hasty actions for now. The laws of space…they are not easy to deal with.”
After regaining her senses, Xi Wuri slowly began to speak, and finally watched as Lang Tianheng angrily led his people away after hearing her words.
...
Shuitian Palace, located in a courtyard to the west.
What have they discussed with you these past few days?
Yan Quan sat down, put away his spatial magic item, and looked at the cat clan members who were tidying up in front of him.
The beautiful silver-eared catwoman beside him was fiddling with his sash, looking completely distracted.
"They threatened me, saying I had to hand you over because you killed their people... and then pressured me to cooperate with them to deal with the other candidates first."
I was worried they wouldn't find you, so... and besides, I was also trying to probe their defenses, that's why I came."
Hua Keshu mumbled with her head down, her small hands twirling Yan Quan's sash. She slightly raised her beautiful eyes, wanting to see Yan Quan's face, but instead noticed the pair of blue eyes that were staring blankly at her.
"Whoa! When did you get in here?!"
Hua Keshu was shocked. In order to avoid Xi Xinyue, she quickly moved to the side and hugged Yan Quan tightly.
"Do I need you to worry about me? This kind of unequal alliance is the worst-case scenario."
When the time comes, these allied forces will inevitably be the first to start the war, and since your forces are relatively weak among them, they will definitely send you to your death first.
And you, Xi Xinyue, what are you doing following us?"
Yan Quan sighed, and Xi Xinyue sat down next to him in a daze.
"...Yan Quan, is he going to the capital?"
Xi Xinyue asked, her pure and innocent gaze revealing nothing of her thoughts.
"Um... By the way, you're not allowed to tell Long Caile about what happened today."
Yan Quan nodded, saying that he really couldn't do anything with this silly girl.
"What's going on? Long Cai Le? That famous dragon princess?...Are you related to her?"
Hua Keshu suddenly realized that something seemed amiss, so she quickly asked.
Putting aside Long Cai Le's matter, how did Yan Quan get to know this dazed mermaid princess, and their relationship seems to be quite good?
Thinking of this, Hua Keshu felt a pang of anxiety and forcefully pulled Yan Quan to her side.
"Tsk, what are you doing now?"
"I command you, do not approach her!"
"Have you been turned by her? How could you let her into such an important place?"
Hua Keshu said seriously, staring warily at Xi Xinyue.
"This is her territory. Besides, she came in on her own. It's just that your men didn't even notice her."
Yan Quan explained, then got up and left Hua Keshu's entanglement.
“I’m taking a huge risk to help you out of this predicament. You should get them ready so we can leave tonight.”
"The right to speak out is not allowed to leave."
Suddenly, Xi Xinyue grabbed Yan Quan's hand tightly and said in a very serious tone.
"What are you doing? Let me go."
Hua Keshu placed her small hand on Xi Xinyue's slender wrist and said in an icy tone.
"We won't let you go, we won't allow you to speak out, we won't let you leave."
I want to watch the full moon with Xinyue.
Xi Xinyue looked at Yan Quan and continued speaking, showing no intention of letting go. The two girls immediately became locked in a stalemate, with only Yan Quan silently feeling the considerable strength in their hands.
"Otherwise, I'll talk to Xiao Le..."
"Say what? What should I say?"
Yan Quan asked, embarrassed, "What exactly is this silly girl trying to do?"
"Tell me, you're with other women."
Xiao Le, I told you I wouldn't let you be with other women.
