Her voice pierced through the waves and was heard by many of her people.
Who abandoned whom in the end?
They now have a new king, chosen by the sea god himself.
It seems that the sea god has already lost hope in the only remaining bloodline of the royal family.
Who would stubbornly support a princess who can never return to the sea?
Moreover, this princess even brought a bunch of outsiders to their homeland.
Don't you know they never interact with outsiders?
They were so disappointed...
Mermaid Palace.
Yu Shuang slowly opened her eyes and gestured for Xiao Moli to go out and take care of things. She reminded him to make a grand entrance like the Mermaid King to discourage certain people.
Xiao Mo nodded heavily.
I will definitely not let Grandma down.
...
Suddenly, a giant wave thousands of feet high rose up in front of a large ship.
Above the giant waves, the Little Mermaid King made a grand entrance, surrounded by a group of elite guards.
He looked down at the tiny ship and the tiny people below with a blank expression.
Luo Xi stared in shock at the sudden turn of events before her eyes, looking at the familiar members of her clan.
The one in the lead is actually...
"Little Mo Li?"
She couldn't understand why her people, who had always loved and cherished her, had become so distant.
Why would the tribesmen support Xiao Moli's appearance?
What exactly happened during the time she was gone?
Xiao Moli, with an indifferent expression, summoned the Eye of the Sea God, displaying a regal demeanor, and slowly spoke:
“Traitor Luo Xi, it wasn’t your people who abandoned you, it was you who abandoned your people. Now I am the Mermaid King personally chosen by the Sea God.”
Luo Xi stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Xiao Mo Li has become the Mermaid King? And he even controls the Eye of the Sea God?
No, impossible!!
The Eye of Poseidon has always been controlled only by members of the royal family.
This is a rule set by our ancestors!
Xie Yunchao, standing beside her, sensed the four restless divine artifacts within his body and stared intently at the bead in Mo Li's hand.
"It's a spirit pearl!"
The other friends also looked delighted.
Ah! The fifth artifact has been found.
We'll be able to defeat that great demon and save the world soon!
Someone couldn't help but call out:
"Little Mermaid King, your pearl is very important to us, it concerns the lives of all people. We hope you can reluctantly part with it and give it to us, no matter what conditions you offer."
All the mermaids on the giant wave had a change of expression.
What audacity! How dare they covet the treasure of their mermaid race!
"Little Mo Li, what he said is true. That's not the Eye of the Sea God, it's an ancient artifact—the Spirit Pearl. It's very important to us. Can you give it to your sister?"
Her feelings for Xiao Moli were still stuck in the past, as she remembered him as the obedient little brother who used to pester her to play.
Completely oblivious to the fact that Xiao Moli's eyes, which had been warm, were growing increasingly cold.
Grandma has said more than once about the importance of the Eye of the Sea God to the people.
He also swore an oath to the sea god to protect the Eye of the Sea God from being taken away by outsiders.
Grandma said that cunning humans are very good at moral blackmail.
In order to trick them out of their treasures, they often like to use the moral high ground to get them to hand them over voluntarily.
To disobey them is to be heartless, selfish, and utterly wicked…
If that doesn't work, they'll try persuasion first, then force; if soft tactics fail, they'll resort to hard ones.
No matter how noble or great they claim to be.
Stealing someone else's things is stealing someone else's things.
This is the kind of face these people are showing right now.
What's most chilling is that even their former princess helped the cunning humans deceive their own people.
If they find that the deception has failed, will they have to resort to force next?
He snorted coldly.
"The Eye of Poseidon has always been a sacred object of my mermaid race. If it's important to you, isn't it important to us? Don't waste your time; I won't give it to you. This is my mermaid race's territory. Leave immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Luo Xi shook her head, unwilling to accept it.
How did Mo Li, who was once kind and lovely, become so cold and ruthless?
Yes, he's still young and can't distinguish right from wrong. He needs guidance on some things.
She was about to offer some advice when she was interrupted by the accusatory and shouting voice of another companion.
"How can you be so unreasonable, you little brat?! Do you even know that there's an evil demon wreaking havoc on the world? Only by gathering the five ancient artifacts can we completely destroy this demon. ...From this moment on, all the innocent lives lost because of your procrastination will be attributed to you, becoming your karmic burden!!"
Luo Xi was taken aback by these words. Although she did not quite agree with her companion scaring the child like this, upon closer examination, she realized that there was some truth to it.
She also tried her best to persuade them, but she adopted a conciliatory approach, talking about grand principles of saving the world.
Grandma was right.
They've put me in this morally blackmailing position, making it seem like I'm committing a heinous crime if I don't hand over the treasure...
Insidious and cunning humans!
In the past, he might have actually been fooled.
Now remember this sentence firmly.
Anyone who tries to take away his treasure is an enemy!
Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
"A bunch of shameless humans! Since I gave you the chance to leave, and you didn't cherish it, then stay!"
He immediately attacked without hesitation, sending a giant wave crashing onto the large ship.
The large ship was destroyed by the light passenger.
The people on board, however, abandoned the ship and fled on a flying artifact.
The other party started fighting without warning, which angered the people on the ship.
