Even Princess Peacock was shocked; her reputation was completely ruined.
Of course, she also knew that the Mermaid Queen had done it to save her, and that her sacrifice would bring her greater fame.
That guy was the only one who benefited...
Many powerful sea creatures in the hall couldn't catch their breath and fainted from anger.
It was actually acknowledged by the mermaid queen herself.
What do you mean by "the three of us were together last night"? Considering the confidence they showed before, do I need to explain what they were doing together?
That kid's really good at this!
One dragon and two phoenixes!
The key point is that one of them is our number one beauty, the Mermaid Queen!
Of course, Princess Peacock is also an extremely beautiful girl, and she is very famous among the demons.
But their sea creatures have a greater natural desire for the mermaid queen.
Thinking about how polite and attentive he had always been, he didn't dare to touch her, let alone make eye contact, for fear of disrespecting his goddess.
And then this guy actually stood up and kicked?
This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!
In that instant, the only thing in the entire hall was a pair of bloodshot eyes and deliberately suppressed, heavy breathing.
And there was the sound of hearts breaking everywhere!
Zaun had a feeling that if his battle with Morgad last night hadn't been so intense, he would probably have been torn to shreds in an instant.
The Dragon King of the East Sea gritted his teeth and said, "But as far as I know, the Mermaid Queen and Princess Peacock are on good terms. Yesterday, she even tried to hide her when the King of the Unruly Kingdom was searching for assassins. All of this is very likely a lie you made up to save her."
His heart was bleeding as he said those words.
Yes, that must be the truth!
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, "That's right, how could our goddess agree to do such a thing?"
The Mermaid Queen's cheeks were flushed with embarrassment. Things had come to this point, and she couldn't afford to fail now. So she spoke up, saying, "If it weren't for my good relationship with the Princess, why would I have agreed to go with her..."
Although she didn't finish her sentence, everyone could easily guess what it was.
One by one, they were utterly desperate.
My goodness, the mermaid queen has truly been captivated by him.
How did this guy even do that?!
I hate it so much, I'm so envious!
Everyone tried to maintain their pride as the strong, but their tense faces betrayed their true feelings.
The Dragon King of the East Sea was completely dumbfounded, his mind filled with her words, "If I didn't have a good relationship with the princess, why would I have agreed to be with her..."
Oh my god, the three of them are really hanging out together!
Only the North Sea Dragon King, who was grieving the loss of his son, remained sober and said in a deep voice, "It's the same question my elder brother just raised. This might be something you said on purpose to save people. This witness is not credible."
At this moment, the Dragon King of the South Sea also spoke up: "Indeed, it is difficult to be convincing to rely solely on the Mermaid Queen's testimony. Didn't you just mention physical evidence? I wonder if you could take it out and let me see it."
Zuan nodded and took out a magnificent feather from his pocket.
Upon seeing the appearance of the feathers, everyone instinctively looked towards the peacock princess in the cage, because the feathers clearly belonged to the peacock.
Princess Peacock was equally bewildered as she looked at the feather in his hand; she could feel a sense of familiarity with it.
The Mermaid Queen parted her red lips slightly; she never expected that Zuan would possess something like this.
Could it be that he and Princess Peacock are really a couple?
Is this all for Princess Peacock?
Was the sister he mentioned earlier, who was Princess Peacock?
What sister? She's clearly a lover!
"This is the first feather that the women of the Peacock Clan value most. It is only given to their husbands on their wedding night. She gave it to me last night." What Zu An was holding was a token that Kong Nanwu from his later years had given him. He never expected it to come in handy here.
As for Chu Yu's claim that he made it all up, it's unlikely that these sea creatures would know about such a private matter.
To everyone's surprise, the Dragon King of the West Sea nodded upon hearing this: "I have indeed heard of this custom among some winged races, where they give their precious first feathers to their lovers. However, this is the first time I've seen it. I didn't know that the first feathers of the peacock race are so magnificent..."
Princess Peacock reacted quickly, immediately feigning embarrassment and anger: "How could you show this to other people!"
Zu An thought to himself, "Grandma, you've finally gotten into character." He then pretended to be a little flustered and put the feather away again: "Ah, so I can't let others see it."
"You're driving me crazy!" Princess Peacock said coquettishly.
Everyone in the hall was stunned as they watched the young couple flirting and teasing each other.
This peacock princess is still young, but her beauty is not much less than that of the mermaid queen. Moreover, she has a youthful charm, and she looks especially charming when she acts coquettishly.
The thought that such a young girl also belonged to that man brought only one thought to everyone's mind:
Destroy them all! Kill them all!
The Dragon King of the North Sea never expected that the other party would have such physical evidence. Looking at the excited expressions of everyone in the hall, they clearly believed his words.
Yes, if they had no relationship, why would Princess Peacock have given him such an important feather?
The Dragon King of the North Sea felt a chill in his heart, but still said coldly, "This only proves that you knew each other before. Maybe she gave it to you before? And this further explains why you came to save her."
Hearing his words, everyone looked at Zu'an again, and the North Sea Dragon King's words did indeed make some sense.
They expected Zaun to offer some explanation, but instead, his face darkened: "I only tried to reason with you out of respect for the Mermaid Queen, and I presented you with all sorts of evidence in a very polite manner, but you treated us like criminals?"
