Zuan was originally thinking about how to sever ties with her without hurting her, but when he heard this, he was stunned. He realized that he had been presumptuous.
Seeing his reaction, the mermaid queen's lips curled up slightly.
Before the other person even spoke, she already guessed what they were going to say.
So by directly changing the subject, they instantly gained the upper hand.
Over the years, she has been surrounded by so many men, and she knows all their tricks by heart.
To deal with so many men, you can't offend them, but you also can't let them take advantage of you. How can you do that without some tricks up your sleeve?
She didn't want to resort to these methods, but she knew that if she did nothing, this person would completely disappear from her life, and she would most likely never see him again.
She didn't want things to go this way, so she decisively started using a set of tactics.
Since the other party is somewhat reluctant to contact me, I'll talk about other people's affairs.
After their conversation, she keenly sensed that the other party seemed to have an unusual interest in Princess Peacock.
"Let's talk inside," the mermaid queen suggested, seizing the opportunity.
The palace had just been destroyed by Morgard, and Cherry had already prepared a room next door as her new residence.
Zuan did care about Princess Peacock and didn't want to stay outside and be watched by everyone, so he nodded and followed her inside.
"Young master, please have some tea. This is a precious coral tea that the Queen has treasured for many years and is reluctant to drink..." After entering the room, Cherry presented tea and water to Zu An like a precious treasure.
The Mermaid Queen coughed lightly, interrupting her directly. This little girl was truly embarrassing.
Cherry stuck out her tongue, arranged the tea and snacks, and then stood smilingly beside the Queen.
Zuan couldn't refuse the young girl's kindness, so he picked up the teacup and took a sip. He felt refreshed and invigorated, as if the fatigue from traveling for days had been dispelled. At the same time, the mental and physical energy he had just lost in the battle was rapidly recovering.
“Indeed excellent tea.” Zaan nodded approvingly. “Thank you, Queen, thank you, Cherry Girl.”
Cherry beamed with joy upon hearing this, "My Queen husband praised me!"
The Mermaid Queen thought to herself that this little girl knew what she was thinking and was trying to win her over.
However, she couldn't show it, so she returned to the previous topic.
Zuan replied, "I just used my divine sense to sense that Princess Peacock is not in the Four Directions Hall."
"You should still leave a few survivors to investigate Princess Peacock's whereabouts," the Mermaid Queen sighed.
Zuan shook his head slightly: "This matter was handled personally by Mogard. Most of the demons below probably don't know about it, and I can roughly guess what Mogard's intentions are."
"Oh? What are his plans?" The mermaid queen blinked curiously, the person in front of her seemed to be quite familiar with Morgard.
She had no basis for her claim, since the two sides should have just met for the first time.
Zuan sighed, no wonder so many powerful sea creatures were manipulated by this woman. When she looked at you at such close range with her beautiful, captivating eyes full of curiosity, how could any man refuse her request?
Anyway, he never intended to hide this matter: "I've been thinking about a question: if he came to form an alliance with the sea people, why would he send out an official envoy in front while he himself secretly hides in the delegation?"
The Mermaid Queen paused slightly, seemingly pondering something: "Indeed, it's rather strange. The Dragon King was already terrified, so even if an ordinary delegation had come before, he would have already decided to side with the demons. There was really no need for Morgard to come... Hmm, could it be that he received news that the demon race was also seeking an alliance with the sea race, so he deliberately hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to act?"
“No, if that were the real reason, the Demon Envoy wouldn’t have had his head cut off.” Zuan shook his head. “Besides, the demons have an absolute advantage now. Given his influence among the demons, it would be more effective for him to come in a big way. The demons would know it was him and wouldn’t dare to assassinate him easily.”
The Mermaid Queen was a clever woman, and after his reminder, she suddenly thought of a possibility: "Indeed, his quiet hiding in the delegation is indeed strange. Since he didn't come for the alliance, could it be to target our sea race!"
“That’s right. Based on my deduction, the other party is most likely not here to form an alliance. On the contrary, he’s here to sabotage the alliance,” Zuan said in a deep voice.
"This...it can't be." Even though the Mermaid Queen had no liking for demons, this guess still greatly surprised her. "He has no motive to do this. It would be entirely beneficial for the sea creatures to side with the demons, so why would he want to sabotage it?"
“Two guesses,” Zuan raised his finger. “The first is that there is a disagreement among the demons about whether to form an alliance. The decision to form an alliance was probably made by the Demon Lord. And the King of the Undead has always been at odds with the Demon Lord, so perhaps he doesn’t want to add another achievement to his list.”
"What? The King of Incest is at odds with the Lord of Demons?" The Mermaid Queen was shocked. They knew too little about demons and were unaware of such high-level information.
However, she quickly realized that demons are also intelligent beings and must have the same human weaknesses.
Whether it's the sea creatures or the demon race, they are not a monolithic entity, and similar things happen everywhere.
But how would he know such high-level secrets?
Could he be one of the demons?
No, his hatred for demons is genuine, and Morgard clearly didn't recognize him before.
As the third most important figure among the demons, Morgard couldn't possibly be unaware of the existence of such a being in the demon world.
