While pondering, Zuan said to the mermaid queen beside him, "I plan to go back to Wushan first to inform the Six Enlightened Witches and the Goddess of Wushan about Baojiang's death. They were friends with Baojiang and their status seems to be quite extraordinary. They should be able to find a way to seek justice for Baojiang."
"When the Heavenly Court comes to investigate the whole matter, they will most likely be able to find out who poisoned Yi. If the Heavenly Court doesn't care, I will take revenge myself."
At this moment, Mikado Baiharu hid behind him, ready to strike at any moment.
Looking at the other person's back, she knew that the other person was unprepared and had no time to unleash that strange seven-colored divine light. If she went all out, she would have a chance to kill him in one blow.
However, just before she was about to make a move, looking at the other person's profile and thinking about how they had spent so much time together, she hesitated again.
The real Yi is already dead. Is it really necessary to kill him for a vague and uncertain possibility?
But why did I witness him shooting down the sun back then...?
History must have gone wrong somewhere.
Thinking of her son, her expression turned serious and resolute.
My fingers had unknowingly moved to the back of the other person's head, and just as I was about to strike, I suddenly heard footsteps.
Zu An instinctively turned his head, and she was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand, pretending to look in the direction of the footsteps just like him.
A group of people emerged from the woods not far away, looking like the wild men in TV dramas. Large parts of their bodies were exposed, and each of them had bulging muscles, making them look much stronger than ordinary humans.
Unlike the savages, their clothes were quite exquisite, far beyond what a primitive tribe could produce.
At this moment, they also noticed the situation of the group, and their gazes fell on the Mermaid Queen. They were overjoyed: "Holy Maiden!"
A group of people immediately surrounded her, waving their arms and legs excitedly: "We've finally found you, Holy Maiden!"
Seeing them rushing over, Zaun was initially on guard, but upon hearing their shouts, he was stunned and instinctively looked towards the Mermaid Queen.
The mermaid queen looked embarrassed and whispered, "They are from the Chang clan."
Zuan immediately understood; they had mistaken the Mermaid Queen for Chang'e.
"Chieftain, you have really misunderstood. I am not the Chang'e you speak of," the Mermaid Queen had no choice but to explain.
The old man at the head of the group straightened his face and said, “Holy Maiden, what nonsense are you talking about? You recognize me, how could we, with so many of us, mistake you? We took turns holding you when you were little. I know you don’t want to marry that fiancé you’ve never met, but this marriage agreement was made by our two clans a long time ago. Now that the Youqiong clan has declined, we can’t be the kind of people who break our promises.”
The Mermaid Queen is usually adept at social maneuvering and moves with ease among powerful figures, but she really doesn't know how to explain the current situation.
Could it be that she traveled from the future?
Regardless of whether these people believe it or not, it's important to know that there is such a thing as a Heavenly Court and immortals in this world.
If we find out about things like time travel, I wonder if they'll arrest us and study us. I can't take that risk.
Seeing her flustered look, Zu An stepped in front of her at the right time: "Greetings, senior. There seems to be a small problem here. It seems that the Yi you mentioned can not get married."
The old clan chief's expression changed upon hearing this: "What do you mean?"
Zuan then briefly recounted what had just happened there and his own speculations.
The clan chief's orange-peel-like face instantly became incredibly interesting; he stood there like an ant on a hot plate.
"Baojiang, Gu, is this the kind of secret we should be hearing?"
"How did Yi get involved in this?"
"It's all over, everything is over..."
Zu'an was completely confused. Why was he reacting so strongly? Could it be that Bao Jiang and Gu were so powerful that even the clan leader was afraid of them?
The old patriarch squatted on the spot where Yi had died, twirling the crystallized stones between his fingers, his expression growing increasingly solemn: "This is..."
"Chieftain..." The other clansmen wanted to ask, but he stopped them by raising his hand.
The old patriarch raised his head, his gaze shifting back and forth between the mermaid queen and Zaun. Seeing that the two were standing too close together, his eyes narrowed: "Holy Maiden, is he the reason you don't want to marry your fiancé?"
"Huh?" The mermaid queen blushed deeply. Although that was true to some extent, it seemed a bit strange to be understood that way.
At this moment, Zu'an answered for her: "Senior, we are indeed good friends. I won't let her marry any fiancé. Besides, the problem isn't that, but that Brother Yi has already..."
Before he could speak, the old clan chief raised his hand to stop him: "Young man, do you want to marry Chang'e?"
"Chieftain!" The Mermaid Queen stamped her foot shyly upon hearing this, "We're not what you think."
She was a little worried that Brother Zu might misunderstand her as using this opportunity to put pressure on him, but I really didn't think that way.
The old clan chief snorted coldly and glared at Zu An: "You ran away from your wedding for him, shouldn't he at least show some appreciation?"
“But…” The Mermaid Queen wanted to explain, but Zaun gently shielded her and smiled tenderly:
"Of course I'd like to!"
If we can use this opportunity to resolve the marriage contract with the Mermaid Queen, that would be great.
Upon hearing his words, the Mermaid Queen's head throbbed, and she stood frozen in place, unsure whether to be excited or shocked.
Mikado Baiqing, standing to the side, gave Zuan a disdainful look. This guy was indeed lecherous and shameless.
The mermaid queen blushed deeply, gazing tenderly at her beloved. No matter what, his words were enough.
