Zuan was shocked, wondering if he had unknowingly revealed something.
But thinking back on it, I realized that I didn't miss any information.
Seeing his expression, the Mermaid Queen forced a smile: "It's not hard to guess. Since you come from another time and space, if that time and space had no connection with our world, you wouldn't have been so cautious before, avoiding me like the plague."
Hearing her description, Zu'an felt a little embarrassed. "Did I make it that obvious?"
Princess Peacock couldn't help but glance at Zu'an again. Just as she had guessed, it was indeed the Mermaid Queen who was actively pursuing him, and he was running away.
If all the men in the world knew that the aloof goddess they had worked so hard to pursue was actually chasing after someone else and couldn't win her over, I wonder what their expressions would be.
For someone her age, things like time and space are too abstract and unrealistic; these kinds of gossip are much more impactful.
The Mermaid Queen continued, "Since it's related to our world, the most likely explanation is that it relates to the past and future of this world. If it's the past..."
She looked Zuan up and down: "Although you have concealed your identity and appearance, I know that you are not a mermaid or any of the sea races. There is no reason for you to avoid me like this, and I have never heard of a strong person like you in history."
"Then that leaves the future. Are you worried about some time paradoxes, or perhaps you have some connection with my descendants?"
As she spoke, the Mermaid Queen's face paled, and she secretly prayed that it wouldn't be like that.
Cherry blinked, thinking to herself how amazing the Queen was, deducing so much from just a few words.
But isn't she afraid that these are just things her husband made up on the spot?
Princess Peacock shared the same concerns; what could possibly come from the future? It was too unbelievable.
If people from the future can travel through time and space to this place at will, then why have we never heard anyone mention anything similar before?
Although this mysterious guy saved me, the Queen also did me a great favor. I need to think of a way to secretly remind her so that I don't get cheated out of my money and my virtue.
Zuan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Don't guess. Sometimes secrets can be dangerous."
The Mermaid Queen smiled sadly and said, "I understand."
Zuan was a little confused. I haven't said anything yet, how did you understand?
At this moment, Princess Peacock couldn't help but ask, "Since you say you come from the future, what is our world like in the future? Is it ruled by demons?"
In the current situation, the demon race is suffering repeated defeats, and the demon emperor is dead. Although the saintess Yumen Beiqing has emerged out of nowhere, almost everyone knows that this is more like a last gasp before death.
Even the most optimistic person couldn't imagine any possibility of defeating the demons.
Zuan said in a deep voice, "No, the people of your world are very brave. They defeated the invasion of demons and drove them out of this world completely."
Although they returned thousands of years later, they were still driven back by him.
Of course, there's no need to say that.
"What!" Princess Peacock was both surprised and delighted; she never expected this outcome.
However, she immediately began to suspect that perhaps the other party was saying this on purpose to make her happy.
But judging from the other person's expression, they didn't seem to be faking it.
Not to mention her, even the Mermaid Queen was stunned, even though she had strongly advocated for the sea race and the demon race to unite against the extraterrestrial demons.
However, she was also well aware that she didn't have much of a chance of winning. She just didn't want to be left out in the cold and wait until the demons had dealt with their other opponents before attacking the sea tribe. In that case, the sea tribe would truly have no allies left.
But now the other party is telling her that the powerful and arrogant demon has been defeated and driven away?
She wouldn't even dare to do that in her wildest dreams.
"How did you defeat them?" Princess Peacock didn't hold back and blurted out the question.
Zuan shook his head slightly: "I can't say the specific details, or rather, I don't know them either, but I'm quite certain that you defeated the demons."
At this point, a thought struck him: almost all historical records about this period have disappeared, so later generations are not clear about what exactly happened during this era.
But now it seems that the demon race and the sea race really don't have much of a chance. After all, just the arrival of the Unruly King alone has forced the entire sea race to put on a smiling face.
So how exactly did they defeat the demons?
Could it be...?
An absurd guess suddenly popped into his mind, and then his expression became extremely strange.
Could it be because of my joining us?
But if I get too involved, wouldn't I be changing history...?
Wait a minute, this is the original history. At most, participating in it will only allow history to return to its original trajectory.
Gan, in later generations, risked his life to save the world and fight against demons.
Going back in time, would it also mean fighting to the death against demons?
Can I rest for a while?
It truly is a naturally born divine body!
Although they were somewhat disappointed at not hearing the details, Princess Peacock and the Mermaid Queen were quite excited to receive his definite answer, their faces beaming with excitement.
"I must return to the demon race as soon as possible and tell the Holy Maiden and all the tribes that we can rekindle our hope!" Judging from the girl's excited expression, she probably couldn't wait to go back.
"By the way, tell me about your Saintess." Zuan asked curiously. He only knew from a few words that her name was Mikado Beiqing, but she seemed to be shrouded in mystery, and he knew very little about her.
Especially when he thought about the phantom left by the other party in the sealed land and the words he said, it was clear that the other party knew him. Could it be that he was the one he met when he came to this world?
