After hearing Mu Huan's words, Lan Yue was stunned for a moment. With so many children, why did the king choose Lan Xi? Could it be that the king was planning on having Lan Xi marry one of these two humans?
I've heard that the mermaid king once fell in love with a human. Could it be that he has developed some special feelings towards the human race?
Mu Huan didn't know what Lan Yue was thinking, but looking at Lan Yue's expression, Mu Huan smiled secretly in his heart, thinking that his goal should have been achieved.
"I am Lan Yue who has disturbed you today. I will go back first. You two girls should have a good rest." Lan Yue looked a little strange. She pushed the door open in a daze. She didn't know where to go now.
"Huanhuan, what's going on with Lan Yue? She looks like she's lost her soul after hearing what you said." Tan Tai Luo supported his chin with both hands, and his whole face almost looked like he had written "I don't know".
"I don't know either. It depends on what she thinks." Mu Huan curled his lips. The mermaid tribe was indeed as simple as the rumors said.
But there was no other way. If I didn't plot against her, we would be the ones being plotted against. A fierce glint flashed in Mu Huan's eyes. What she hated most in her life was being plotted against. This Mermaid King had really touched her weak spot!
The day passed quickly, and Mu Huan and Tan Tai Luo stayed in the house all day thinking about how to escape from the mermaid tribe.
As night fell, the night-shining pearls around Sea City seemed to be increasing in number, illuminating the entire city. However, Sea City today seemed to be very different from usual. Maids and attendants kept shuttling along every shell road, their faces full of busy expressions.
This was the scene Mu Huan saw when he opened the door. He casually pulled a passing mermaid and asked, "Excuse me, why are you all in such a hurry?" Could it be that the Sirens were coming so soon?
"To answer the young lady, today the mermaid tribe welcomed a distinguished guest, the Mermaid King. The king specifically instructed us to take it seriously and welcome the arrival of the distinguished guest." The mermaid attendant looked at Mu Huan, her ears turning red, as if she had never been in such close contact with a human woman before.
"Oh! So that's the case. Thank you! You can get busy now." Mu Huan raised the corners of her mouth with a gentle smile that was inconsistent with her usual character.
"Oh, oh, okay!" The mermaid attendant was stunned for a moment, her face instantly red. Then she hurriedly walked away, waving her mermaid tail.
"Distinguished guest?" Mu Huan rubbed his chin with his fingers. Who on earth was this distinguished guest who could receive such a high-level reception?
"Huanhuan, what did you find out?" Tan Tai Luo came out and looked at Mu Huan with a thoughtful look.
"Not really, I just heard they said the mermaids have a distinguished guest coming today." Distinguished guest? "Yes! The mermaids are so busy today, the guards outside will definitely be lax. Why don't we take this opportunity to escape?"
"But why does it sound so unreliable to me?" Tan Tai Luo was still a little worried. After all, even if the guards were lax, the Mermaid King would definitely keep a close eye on the two of them as substitutes in order to prevent his children from being sacrificed to the Sirens.
Mu Huan agreed, pulling at his hair in frustration. "I'm so fed up! This mermaid tribe is so annoying! It really lives up to the saying, 'If you don't work for yourself, you'll be punished by heaven and earth.'"
And she's a merman, so she has learned all the dirty things about humans.
The two people were worrying here, and Lan Xi's figure was approaching.
"Greetings, ladies." Lan Xi had changed into a dark blue gown today, with a few small pearls adorning the wide cuffs. It must have been something she wore to greet distinguished guests; it was quite formal, after all.
"I wonder if the two girls had a good rest last night?"
"Very good!" Mu Huan didn't feel anything. She only knew that she and Tan Tai Luo slept very soundly last night, without any sense of urgency of being alone in a foreign land and being threatened.
It’s a bit embarrassing to talk about this!
"That's good. Lan Xi was worried that our tribe's hospitality wasn't good enough, and that the two girls might feel uncomfortable." Thinking of what was about to happen in four days, Lan Xi felt a little reluctant. After all, dragging them into this for no reason was truly ungentlemanly.
"By the way, the king is hosting a banquet for distinguished guests today. You two girls should go and join in the fun! It's rare for us mermaids to have such a grand event, so it's definitely going to be quite exciting."
Can I refuse? This was the only thought in Mu Huan and Tan Tailuo's minds, but it seemed that they couldn't refuse. So they could only nod in resignation.
"Please follow Lan Xi!" Lan Xi led the way, followed by Mu Huan and Tan Tai Luo with their heads hanging down.
The three of them were unaware that Lan Yue had just arrived to see such a "heartwarming" scene. Her hands were tightly clenched into fists, her fingers turning slightly white from the force.
As expected, as she thought, Wang might really want Brother Lanxi to marry two humans.
"No, absolutely not." Lan Yue kept murmuring, "Brother Lan Xi is mine, mine." No one can take Brother Lan Xi away from him, no one can.
Lan Yue admitted that she was a little crazy, but she was not afraid. Those two humans must not live, otherwise it would sooner or later affect the future of her and her brother Lan Xi.
His eyes were firm, he had already made the decision!
——I am the dividing line of Mu De’s feelings——
Here, Mu Huan and Tan Tai Luo had already arrived outside the main hall. Inside, there was singing and dancing, laughter and joy. It was indeed quite lively! The Mermaid King would not feel any pain or guilt!
"Your arrival is truly an honor for our clan!"
