"Alright, take me in according to the weak point you just mentioned." The mermaid queen had changed her clothes, and even had a guard's helmet on her head, covering her beautiful hair.
Zuan: "..."
He was just making things up; how could he possibly know about any weaknesses?
But now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
At worst, I can secretly use some tricks to deal with those guards later; hopefully, she won't find out.
Following the weak points he had previously mentioned, Zuan was suddenly stunned, because the defenses here actually had loopholes.
The Mermaid Queen was overjoyed: "Although you don't have much skill, your observation skills are quite good."

Upon hearing this, Zuan secretly cursed. Sure enough, after their smooth journey, the Mermaid Queen had completely believed him.
Although I felt a little ashamed, I still mustered up my courage and confidently declared, "The Mermaid Queen is the most beautiful!"
The guards opposite looked shocked, exchanging bewildered glances before instinctively replying, "The Mermaid Queen is indeed the most beautiful... Wait, that's not the password!"
He finally realized what was happening and instinctively reached for his knife, his mouth clenching as he prepared to let out a shriek as a warning.
