Mu Nancheng looked up, instinctively protecting his trident, and asked:
Do you know who it is?
The guard bowed his head and replied:
Two mermaids have arrived.
It has a black tail, but a secondary tail, and the tail looks just like yours!
A blue-tailed, white-haired creature, very much like the one Ji Xinyin gave birth to... the next candidate for the Sea God!
"Si Jin?" Mu Nancheng murmured the two words subconsciously, his expression becoming alert.
He remembered that he had investigated the little mermaid named Si Jin back then.
Because we don't know his name or birth date, we can't cast a curse on him.
In the city of Atlantis, white-haired mermaids were already few and far between, let alone outsiders.
It must be Si Jin who is right.
He quickly realized this and continued to ask:
"Are there any particularly dark scales on the white-haired mermaid's tail?"
The guard thought carefully for a moment, then shook his head: "Chief, we were too far away at the time, I couldn't see clearly..."
"Alright, never mind who it is. Our people didn't clash with them, did they?"
"No, no, they haven't forced their way in yet!"
"They didn't force their way in, that's good..."
Mu Nancheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered, "Quickly invite them in, but whatever you do, make sure no one notices them!"
"yes!"
The guards obeyed and left. Mu Nancheng quickly hugged the trident tightly, raised his hand, and rubbed his aching temples.
This matter must not be blown out of proportion. If it is, the people of Atlantis will not only discover that he stole the trident and cursed the sea god, but it will also expose the fact that he killed his father and mother and seized the throne of the sea god by despicable means!
Back then, when his younger brother Mu Linyuan was born, auspicious omens descended from the heavens. As if by prior arrangement, millions of koi fish gathered at the palace, respectfully bowing to welcome this born king.
His father and mother were overjoyed and began helping Mu Linyuan awaken the spiritual power within him from a young age.
As a result, when Mu Linyuan was just learning to speak, his strength far surpassed that of his older brother, who was in his twenties, and he was regarded by everyone as the only candidate to become the Sea Emperor.
Mu Nancheng was furious. He was the eldest son of the family, and the throne should have been his. He had thought about it for twenty years, hoped for it for twenty years, and waited for it for twenty years.
Just when they were about to celebrate their father's 100th birthday, why did a younger brother with exceptional talent suddenly appear out of nowhere?
Unwilling to accept defeat, he began to gather strength and launch a coup.
At Mu Linyuan's 100-day celebration, he murdered his father and mother, seizing power in one fell swoop.
However, Mu Linyuan was taken away by an ungrateful old sea lion, and he was gone for twenty-eight years.
A few months ago, he captured the over 90-year-old sea lion and tortured it to extract a confession.
Unexpectedly, even after skinning him alive and soaking him in chili water, the old man still refused to reveal Mu Linyuan's whereabouts...
Tear—
Unable to restrain himself, Mu Nancheng unleashed his spiritual power, tearing the sea lion skin handkerchief in his hand.
The handkerchief was pitifully torn into several pieces and fell limply to the ground.
With his strength gone, Mu Nancheng had no outlet for his violent emotions and could only grip the trident tightly, staring intently at the doorway.
If the person the guard mentioned was indeed Mu Linyuan, he would make sure his good younger brother never returned!
Soon, the door was pushed open.
After the guard led Si Jin and Jiang Linyuan inside, he turned and left, tactfully closing the door behind him.
Inside the dark blue hall, only Mu Nancheng, Si Jin, and Jiang Linyuan remained.
In the oppressive silence, their gazes lingered on each other for a long time.
In the end, it was Si Jin who spoke first.
He teasingly tugged at Jiang Linyuan's tail:
“Darling, his tail is just like yours, but it’s nowhere near as pretty as yours.”
"But fortunately, the reflective effect is good. If you scrape off the fish scales on it and use it as a night light, it should be passable."
