The Mermaid King plotted against her, so she would give his son a big gift, but she would have to put that "simple" mermaid girl in a difficult position first.
"Let the Mermaid King see what it means to be a real substitute for a dead person!" He set a trap for her without worrying about her waist being sprained by the strong wind.
The Mermaid King wanted her and Luoluo to marry the Sirens on behalf of the other mermaids, so she turned the situation around and let the little mermaid girl from the mermaid tribe marry on their behalf.
But one thing is one thing, Mu Huan will not really involve innocent people. He just wants to teach the Fish King and others a painful lesson. As for the one who really went to the Sirens to marry a princess, he naturally has to bring her back safely.
"Huanhuan, are you after that mermaid girl..." Tan Tailuo didn't say anything else. She already understood. All she had to do now was to fully cooperate with Mu Huan, so that they could complete this challenge and escape successfully.
"Just do whatever you want!" Liang Ci's fair and slender hand covered Mu Huan's head, "I'll always be behind you!" Even if she messed up, he was still there! He would always be behind her to watch her grow.
"Hmm!" Mu Huan's eyes were full of determination. Let's see who will have the last laugh! If you dare to plot against her, Master Mu, you must have the courage to bear my wrath.
No matter what messed-up mermaids or sirens they were, if they provoked her, they would all pay the price for their actions. This was the way of the world, the strong were respected, and the weak were preyed upon by the strong!
"Knock knock knock!" The dull knocking sound rang out again.
Mu Huan reached out his hand to stop Tan Tai Luo from speaking, "Who is it?"
"Miss Bing, I am the head maidservant of the Mermaid King. Now, on the king's order, I invite the two ladies to the main hall to discuss important matters." The person outside spoke respectfully. The Mermaid King didn't have any other advantages, but he had his own way of training his servants.
"Got it, we'll go right away!" Just as she thought, except that this merman king was even more impatient than she thought!
"Well! Then I will take my leave!"
"This mermaid king moves quite quickly." Tan Tai Luo curled his lips, kicked the glass stool beside him, and kept complaining about the mermaid king's behavior.
"His speed is actually within expectations. I guess the Sirens have started to take action!" The Sirens are described in the mainland log as an extremely untrustworthy and cunning race.
"Didn't they say they wanted to marry a princess? Why are the Sirens still thinking of attacking the Mermaids?" Tan Tai Luo was puzzled. To be honest, she was really not good at thinking in this area.
"The marriage is just a gimmick. The Sirens' real goal is probably to annex the Mermaids and try to rule the entire sea."
His ambition is quite big, but I don't know if he has the stomach to swallow it.
Liang Ci didn't seem to care about the two people's guesses, and just sat there leisurely drinking tea. If he guessed correctly, the person chosen was Mu Huan, but Liang Ci frowned, how could she possibly accept it?
"Master, you can rest here for a while, and we will go to the Hongmen Banquet first." To be honest, Mu Huan was still a little nervous. After all, she hadn't played tricks face to face with others for a long time.
"Yeah!" Although she only nodded slightly, Mu Huan felt particularly safe. This feeling was really good, having someone always behind her as her strongest support.
Mu Huan opened the door and headed to the main hall with Tan Tai Luo. Almost instantly, Liang Ci disappeared from the room, leaving no trace.
——
When Mu Huan and Tan Tai Luo arrived at the main hall, only the Mermaid King and the eldest prince, Lan Xi, were present. It seemed as if her suspicions might indeed be true. Then, everything could proceed as planned. Who would win or lose would remain to be seen.
"Meet the Mermaid King!"
"Okay, okay!" The Mermaid King stood up and looked at Mu Huan and Tan Tai Luo at the steps of the palace with a smile on his face, his eyes full of calculation.
"I hope you can forgive me for inviting two girls here today." The Mermaid King was polite on the surface. He put aside his noble status to be with the two girls, which was a sacrifice.
"No, Mermaid King, just tell me what you want to say!" Mu Huan said with a fake smile, just waiting to see how you shamelessly "propose" to them both.
"That's right, about this!" The Mermaid King looked as if he couldn't bring himself to speak. "It's also my fault. I raised my child to be a little too shy. Now that he doesn't like a girl, he's too embarrassed to speak up."
He stole a glance at Mu Huan again, and seeing that her expression remained unchanged, he continued, "Lan Xi doesn't have many other advantages, except that she's deeply devoted and loyal. She's also quite pretty."
"I don't know, what do you think, Miss Mu?"
"Huh?" It was just a show, who was afraid of who? Mu Huan exclaimed in surprise when she heard the Mermaid King's last words.
"The eldest prince of the mermaid tribe is excellent in all aspects, so Mu Huan is not in a position to judge too much. It's just my personal opinion that Prince Lanxi is indeed a leader among them, and he is very outstanding among all the people Mu Huan has met." Who doesn't know how to give compliments?
"Hahaha!" The Mermaid King was very happy to hear others praising his son, no matter whether it was sincere or fake.
"I didn't expect that my son is so outstanding in Miss Mu's heart. I wonder if Miss Mu is willing to marry my son?" Although the tone was inquiring, it carried a kind of pressure that could not be refused.
"..." I had expected the old Mermaid King to bring this up, but I hadn't expected him to be so blunt! Had they been in the sea for so long that they'd lost even the most basic tact?
"Well, the Mermaid King must be joking with me! I'm just an ordinary human, and Prince Lanxi is the noble master of the mermaid clan. How can I be worthy of him?"
Although Mu Huan felt a little depressed when he belittled himself, if he directly accepted the Mermaid King's proposal, it would definitely arouse suspicion, so he had to be roundabout and reserved.
"How could that be? Miss Mu is so outstanding, both in character and appearance. She is undoubtedly a top-notch match for our son in every way." The mermaids were somewhat displeased with Mu Huan's polite refusal. Their outstanding son was delivered to them, yet they still didn't deserve her.
…No matter how outstanding one is, can one be as outstanding as her beautiful master? Mu Huan rolled her eyes in her heart. Although she did feel happy for a moment when she heard others praise her, this matter was not something that could be solved by just a few words of praise.
"I'd like to ask a question, since this is a matter of life and death!" Mu Huan emphasized the word "matter of life and death". "Does Prince Lanxi really like me?"
"Yes! I hope Miss Mu can help me!" His face was expressionless, but there was a hint of obvious offense and struggle in his eyes. Don't think that Mu Huan is blind.
If she didn't know who you like, she would have believed your lies.
You can't tell, Lan Xi is someone who can do anything and give up anything to achieve his goals.
