Sometimes lies don't hurt people; the truth is the sharpest knife.
"I failed to rescue Princess Peacock this time, and I'm afraid I'll never have another chance." The Mermaid Queen sighed, wondering how Princess Peacock was doing now.
And what exactly is this ritual that the demons are talking about?
“Princess Kongque…” The image of Kong Nanwu appeared in Zu An’s mind.
How did I end up running into their ancestors?!
"Is she the same assassin from before?" Based on various pieces of information, this conclusion is not hard to guess.
The Mermaid Queen looked at him suspiciously: "You're a guard of the Dragon Palace, don't you know that?"
Zu An's heart skipped a beat; he had been careless.
However, he reacted quickly: "I, a low-ranking soldier, have no access to such classified information."
The Mermaid Queen had no doubts that the Dragon King had intentionally concealed the truth. Speaking of which, this little guard was really pitiful, being sent to guard the Four Directions Palace without even knowing what it was all about.
"That's right, she was indeed the assassin from before. She assassinated the chief envoy of the demon delegation, hoping to use the opportunity to force the sea tribe to break with the demons.

Upon hearing this, Zuan was no longer as calm as he had been at the beginning.
He really didn't want to affect the timeline of history, but how could he sit idly by when he learned that this Peacock Princess was so courageous?

Zuan: "..."
Oh no, the installation was too successful just now.
"Aren't you just a little maid too? What are you so proud of?" he deliberately provoked.
The Mermaid Queen raised an eyebrow slightly: "Heh, my cultivation is far superior to yours."
Zuan was speechless. Serves you right for putting on airs. Now you can't refute me, can you?
"Is this your queen's intention? Does she prefer to unite with the demon race?" Zuan then asked.
"The Queen is such a beautiful and intelligent person, how could she openly participate in such matters? This is just my personal behavior, so please don't let it slip later," the Mermaid Queen warned.
Zuan looked at her with a complicated expression. "You're getting more and more into the role, but when you find out the truth, you'll be in deep trouble..."
