Her words were quite clear: firstly, she was using her status as the merman royal family to pressure them; secondly, she was promising them benefits, stating that supplies would pass through their hands first, and how much they received would depend on their performance.
Seeing that Leng Yue was so understanding, the two deep blue sea monsters didn't intend to make things difficult for them. They said, "Little sister, you're being too polite. It's fate that we can meet in the Ancient Sea Abyss. What trouble could we possibly have?"
"Then I'd like to thank you both in advance."
Leng Yue kept her distance from the two of them. She had been worried that these sea creatures would cause trouble for her after she was put in the Prison Abyss Shackles, so she was willing to borrow money to avoid trouble.
"Not bad, you've learned how to save yourself!" Jiang Yuan winked at Leng Yue.
The two characters' identities were fake to begin with, but it's still quite impressive that Leng Yue was able to get into character so quickly.
"I even sacrificed my innocence for you as my friend!" Leng Yue said in a low, annoyed voice.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan looked around and said, "Once we find Xiaoyu, I'll treat you to drinks, and we won't leave until we're drunk."
"Can you sense her presence now?" Leng Yue lowered her gaze, not daring to let the two jailers notice her. Their power was currently sealed by the Prison Abyss Shackles, and their senses were also largely blocked.
"Not yet. I'm afraid we'll have to wait until we enter the Prison Abyss to proceed with the next step of the plan!"
The two exchanged a glance and put aside their other thoughts. They needed to be even more careful from now on, because entering the Ancient Sea Abyss was only the first step. Only by emerging from the Abyss could the real operation begin.
The Prison Abyss is the location where prisoners were held in the ancient Abyss of the Sea. It is a miniature society, except that the members of this society are the prisoners and the law enforcement team of the Sea King's Palace.
Because of Leng Yue's promise, the deep blue sea monster responsible for escorting the two did not make things difficult for them. Instead, it provided them with good food and drink and then safely delivered them to the Prison Abyss.
Upon arriving at the Prison Abyss, they were greeted not by the deep blue sea monster, but by a two-headed squid.
However, it would be more appropriate to describe it as a trial rather than a reception, because here they found that they would not enjoy the kind treatment that the prison guards outside would give them. Instead, they were about to be beaten with a rod.
"Mermaid bastards, what crime have you committed?"
The two-headed squid's four eyes fell on Jiang Yuan and Leng Yue respectively. Its disdain for their titles was evident, because the merfolk were one of the few sea creatures whose complete form was human, which was a provocation to the sea creatures who preferred to maintain their primitive forms.
Jiang Yuan frowned slightly. He looked up at the two-headed squid in front of him. Under the Reincarnation Heavenly Eye, the opponent's strength was at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. If such a realm were outside, it would definitely be a regional overlord, but now in this Prison Abyss, it was just a warden.
"Aren't you going to speak up? Didn't you hear the warden asking you questions?"
Several deep blue sea monsters raised their tridents and were about to stab Jiang Yuan in the neck.
"Warden, we were banished to the Ancient Sea Abyss for our infidelity to love, violating the ancestral precept of the Merfolk to be loyal to one person for life." Leng Yue spoke up for Jiang Yuan, fearing that he might start a fight here. The Abyss was full of hidden dangers, and it was also the stronghold of the Sea Clan. If they caused trouble here, they would all die here.
Are you sure?
The two-headed squid's eyes glow green, making it resemble a deathly flame in the ocean.
Jiang Yuan thought this was a relatively light offense, so he confessed: "That's right, I am naturally dissolute, and my wife can't control me. She can only watch helplessly as I gradually fall into depravity."
"Hehehe!"
The two-headed squid suddenly let out a sinister laugh, its large, bell-shaped eyes darting about, and said, "Do you know what kind of person I, Somo, hate the most in my life?"
Jiang Yuan had a bad feeling, but he could only take it one step at a time, so he shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"Then do you know why I have two heads?" The two-headed squid smiled at each other, a smile that was extremely eerie.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan immediately had the idea to detect it, and the moment the detection results came out, he knew he was in trouble.
"The two-headed squid was originally the Devouring Squid, but it took its current form after devouring another squid of the opposite sex."
This is the detection information of the two-headed squid, which means that this squid may have devoured its mate, which is why it looks like this now.
“My wife once betrayed me, and I generously forgave her and kept her by my side forever.”
As they spoke, the two-headed squid gazed affectionately at its right head from its left, but anyone with eyes could see that there was a hint of numbness in the eyes of the right head.
The moment the two heads locked eyes, the left head suddenly flew into a rage. It turned its head and stared intently at Jiang Yuan, saying, "Therefore, I hate traitors the most!"
"We've run into a lunatic." Jiang Yuan gripped Leng Yue's hand tightly. The situation now likely required a desperate fight, or they would die on the spot.
"Tell me, who betrayed whom!" Somo swam around, its enormous tentacles reaching out towards the two of them.
"What do you want?" Jiang Yuan couldn't understand the sea creature's thought process at all.
Somo smiled smugly and said, "Open the eighteen levels of the Abyss of Imprisonment and let the traitors receive the punishment they deserve!"
"I……"
Leng Yue was about to help Jiang Yuan out of the predicament, but Jiang Yuan beat her to it. He glared at Leng Yue and said with disgust, "I don't want to face your cold face, so goodbye!"
