But what about those sea patrol yakshas that were emitting black mist before?
Could it be that Shang Hongyu orchestrated this whole thing herself?
But how could she know where I was?
And just as coincidentally, everything was arranged, and the chase scene unfolded right in front of him.
In an instant, too many possibilities flashed through his mind, and even though he was used to seeing all sorts of things, he was still startled and broke out in a cold sweat.
At this moment, the Dragon King at the head of the table smiled sinisterly: "She is, after all, the Queen of our sea tribe. I wonder what you have done to her?"
Zuan could even feel the other party's tangible killing intent, and wondered if he was really afraid that he would bully his wife.
At this moment, his mind was filled with a jumble of thoughts, and he was unsure who was at fault. He was unwilling to make enemies rashly for the time being: "I didn't do anything. I just happened to run into the seriously injured queen, then captured her with a magic array, and then ran to the Dragon Palace to report. Everything I did was clearly in accordance with the wanted poster. Are all the sea creatures so untrustworthy?"
"Outrageous!" Many of the sea tribe ministers beside him were filled with righteous indignation and glared at him.
Zuan no longer cared about the anger level in the background; instead, he continued to ponder the events of the past few days.
Shang Hongyu acted so naturally. If she was acting, then her acting skills were simply too good.
Given his current experience, it would be quite difficult to fool him.
Moreover, having spent so much time together these past few days, even sleeping in each other's arms, he hadn't detected any trace of that dark energy on the other person.
etc……
Yes, she did, but those were injuries she sustained.
What if she's just using her injury as a cover-up?
At this moment, the Dragon King at the head of the table raised his hand to stop his subordinates from scolding him: "What this human said makes some sense. We must not let others look down on our sea race."
He then looked at Zuan and said, "I'm quite surprised that you actually captured the Mermaid Queen. Where is she now?"
"What about the promised bounty?" Zuan asked with a greedy and eager expression, as if anyone could put on an act.
The Dragon King waved his hand, and soon a group of guards carried out more than a dozen boxes.
With a wave of his hand, all the treasure chests opened, revealing dazzling light and containing top-quality elemental stones, jewels, and magical artifacts.
"Tell me the Queen's whereabouts, and all of this will be yours. Moreover, as promised, I will take you as my disciple. From now on, in this Dragon Palace, and even in the entire sea tribe, no one will dare to neglect you." The Dragon King stared intently at Zu'an with his bulging eyes.
Seeing the treasures scattered all over the ground, Zu An thought to himself that Shang Hongyu was quite valuable.
He suddenly spoke up and asked, "May I ask why the Dragon King wanted to capture the Queen?"
He needs more information to make a judgment.
"How dare you!" the mustachioed turtle standing next to the Dragon King shouted.
At this moment, the Dragon King looked at Zu'an and asked, "Why do you care about this?"
A faint murderous intent lurked in his eyes, as if he would kill someone on the spot if they said the wrong thing.
“My main concern is that I might earn the bounty but not live to spend it. After all, the one wanted is the Mermaid Queen. If I accidentally get involved in some secret between you two, it wouldn’t be worth it to be silenced,” Zuan replied.
Upon hearing his words, a soft chuckle filled the hall, and the atmosphere was no longer as tense as it had been at the beginning.
"This human is really a coward."
"Actually, it's not his fault. It's only natural for him to worry about these things."
...
The Dragon King's expression softened somewhat: "You don't need to worry about that. With so many princes and ministers in front of us, would I go back on my word? Where would the sea tribe's reputation stand then? Now you can bring the Queen here."
