Chapter 247: Changed to Bad Currency
Yu Xiangwan's expression was as tense as ever. Seeing that Yu Zhuo still knew nothing, he was silent for a moment and then told Yu Zhuo.
"The late king has been asleep for more than 500 years. Today, the mermaid royal family all respect the current king, Tamo. Seeing that the late king has awakened, Tamo attributed all the credit to the resurrection ceremony and insisted on carrying out the ceremony to the end to select an Alpha for the late king."
Yu Zhuo's eyes flickered slightly: "Do they still want you to marry him?"
"No, it's not me." Yu Xiangwan's clear blue eyes slowly looked at Yu Zhuo, "They want to choose you."
Yu Zhuo: “…”
Zhou Yanshu's awakening is undoubtedly a catastrophe for Tamo. Most of the mermaids still adhere to the faith of the previous king. If Zhou Yanshu wants to take back the throne, he will definitely stir up a bloody storm in the deep sea.
Tamo wanted to push Zhou Yanshu into a rotten mud pit from the very beginning to ensure that Zhou Yanshu would not have any thoughts of rebelling or fighting again.
He originally chose Yu Xiangwan to join the previous king, just to fool the public with his level. Now that Zhou Yanshu has woken up, if he lets Yu Xiangwan, who is level 3S, go there, the two of them joining forces... will only make Tamo unbearable.
So Tamo changed his target to Yuzhuo. Yuzhuo was a useless guy with only C rank and a gloomy personality and poor speaking skills. If he was asked to mark Zhou Yanshu, Zhou Yanshu would be in a state of despair.
Yu Xiangwan knew that Yu Zhuo was just a sacrifice in this power struggle. With such a low level, his compatibility with the previous king was probably less than 10%. It would be difficult for him to return after this departure.
Even if Yu Xiangwan didn't know Zhou Yanshu's temper, the cunning of emperors has always been unpredictable. How many of them have pure intentions?
Now Zhou Yanshu was humiliated by Yuzhuo and was forced to submit. I am afraid he will not let Yuzhuo off easily in the future.
Even though Yu Xiangwan and Yu Zhuo were not close, he couldn't help feeling a little sad at this moment: "Yu Zhuo, if it really doesn't work, you can just pretend to be sick and put it off..."
"Brother, I'll go buy a dress and a suit this afternoon." Yu Zhuo walked up the stairs quickly and said in a clear voice, "Let me see how much money I have left!"
"You..." Yu Xiangwan stood up. He looked upstairs and saw that Yu Zhuo's door was wide open and he was still rummaging through the drawers inside.
Yu Xiangwan curled the corner of his lip. It seemed that his younger brother had never been in his right mind.
＊
Yuzhuo still had some pocket money in his room, maybe it was saved in the past, but it didn't produce much, and after buying a suit, it was all gone.
Yuzhuo didn't care. The suit he picked out had a better fit, was made of top-notch fabric, and was almost the same type as the ones he wore before.
It makes people miss it.
Yu Zhuo had combed his hair in advance on the day of departure. His white hair was naturally curled and spread out in all directions, and he had to use hairspray to barely keep it in place.
The wedding car had been waiting outside for a while. The attendant who came to pick up Yuzhuo stood at the side of the door. He looked at his watch and knocked on Yuzhuo's door politely.
"Mr. Yu, are you ready? The wedding car has arrived, and it's time for us to leave."
"Okay." The man inside responded quickly. The servant stood aside after hearing the voice, waiting for Yu Zhuo to come out.
The door handle turned twice, and then the door opened from the back. The servant raised his eyes and was stunned.
Yu Zhuo was wearing a pure black suit, with a red tie tied neatly on his neck, which fell neatly on his chest. He was tall, with two long legs wrapped in trousers, which hung down, revealing only a small part of his white but obviously thin ankles.
According to legend, he was particularly sickly and his servants mistakenly thought he had sunken cheeks and was skinny.
I didn't expect that when I met him in person today, I realized that Yu Zhuo looked normal. Although his skin was a few shades paler than that of an ordinary person, he didn't look sick at all. His eyes were narrow and not sinister, and the pair of golden pupils inside were sparkling. When he stood there, he naturally revealed some of the dignity of a noble young man from an aristocratic family.
This is not some low-quality ugly toad at all. Just based on his appearance, it is not an exaggeration to give Yu Zhuo a trophy.
"Excuse me, is it too late?" Yu Zhuo couldn't help but ask when he saw the servant next to him staring at him without saying a word.
If he spent a little more time today, he might anger these royal attendants from the deep sea.
The attendant suppressed his excitement. After all, he worked for the royal family. He smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there is plenty of time. You don't have to rush. This is the mask for you."
...the former queen.
Yu Zhuo was silent for a moment, then he took the mask and put it on his face naturally: "Okay."
This is the marriage rule of the mermaid tribe. Both parties wear mermaid masks during the wedding and they can only take them off after the wedding is over.
It was said that this mask was carved from the bones of a deep-sea sea monster, covered with colorful scales and embellished with dozens of gemstones and pearls. It was particularly heavy, covering only the upper half of her beautiful face, revealing her rosy lips underneath.
The servant saw Yuzhuo put on the mask and then went downstairs.
The wedding car was parked downstairs in advance, and the attendants who came to pick it up stood on both sides, leaving the middle aisle completely empty.
Yu Zhuo looked back and saw Yu Yuanshan and others standing not far away. They were not allowed to get close and could only look at Yu Zhuo from a distance of more than ten meters.
This wedding looked more like a prisoner's execution ground. Not only strangers, but even relatives were turned away.
Yu Zhuo looked back, his eyes lingering on Yu Yuanshan and his wife for a long time before turning to Yu Xiangwan. Yu Xiangwan stood outside the railing and simply waved at him.
Yu Zhuo withdrew his gaze, and without stopping, he got into the car and sat in the back seat.
The journey to the mermaid tribe is long, and they will reach the coast after an hour's drive.
Fortunately, they were not so outrageous as to hold the wedding in the sea. Yu Zhuo was not a good swimmer and King Tamo was unwilling to allow Zhou Yanshu to get close to the royal area in the center of the seabed. In the end, they decided to hold the wedding in the mermaid temple in the ancient forest on the shore.
After passing through several complicated mountain roads, Yu Zhuo followed the attendant in front of him and got off the car. He looked forward and saw that the guests around the temple were crowded. They were toasting and chatting with each other and had been here for some time.
As soon as Yu Zhuo got off the car, he attracted a lot of people's attention. The expressions on their faces changed again and again, and they all looked at Yu Zhuo and whispered to each other.
Yu Zhuo ignored this and followed his attendants into the temple. He bowed to the mermaid king Tamo who was sitting at the top and said, "Greetings, my king."
"Today is your wedding day, no need to go through the formalities." Tamo laughed loudly and said, "Get up."
His face was similar to the one Yu Zhuo had searched for before, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but his figure was a little fat. There was not much gold decoration on his body, and he was simply wearing a royal robe.
"Our late queen is here, where's Yanshu?" Tamo shook the wine glass between his fingertips, "Hurry him up, we're all waiting for him."
Yu Zhuo stepped aside and said nothing more.
The attendants all kept their heads down in silence, and the ministers who came to attend the wedding did not dare to speak loudly. They all sat aside and greeted each other.
About ten minutes later, there was some movement outside.
"Your Majesty, he is here."
