However, Lu Jingzhi was not shaken by the mermaid grandmother's explanation.
"You instructed this elder to openly announce Coco's impending departure in front of so many members of the tribe."
"Isn't all this really at your instruction?"
At this moment, the mermaid grandmother's face suddenly changed.
The originally kind and gentle face was now filled with solemnity.
"Jingzhi, I don't want to argue with you. Let's talk it out."
However, Lu Jingzhi did not back down and responded without hesitation, "I also don't want to argue with you."
"But if someone goes too far, even if it's from the Murlocs, I will definitely show no mercy."
As soon as the words fell, a terrifying Shura murderous aura suddenly erupted, instantly sweeping across the entire palace.
In an instant, everyone in the palace was enveloped by this terrifying aura.
Their faces turned extremely pale and their fear was beyond words.
Everyone's body trembled involuntarily, as if Lu Jingzhi would tremble at the slightest thought.
They will immediately die, their souls will be scattered, and they will enter the cycle of reincarnation.
Even the mermaid grandma, who was always calm and composed, felt Lu Jingzhi's powerful strength.
He was also shocked and took two steps back uncontrollably.
"You...have actually become so powerful?"
At this tense moment, a clear voice suddenly rang out in the palace.
"Everyone calm down first!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that Gu Keke had stood up from the throne at some point.
With her shout, the tense atmosphere in the air seemed to ease a little.
Lu Jingzhi frowned slightly when he heard Gu Keke's voice.
In the end, he slowly put away the terrifying Shura pressure.
"I know everyone is worried about my departure."
"But please believe me, no matter where I am in the future, my heart will always be closely connected with our mermaid tribe!"
"Your Majesty, I wonder what exactly happened that made you choose to leave?" A question came from the crowd.
Gu Keke smiled slightly, her eyes becoming extremely gentle. She turned to look at Lu Jingzhi who was not far away and said, "Of course I have to help my brother and revive my sister-in-law."
"Thinking back, he once lent me a helping hand when I was in the most difficult time."
Not only did they provide me with food, but they also provided me with shelter.
"You saved me from danger." When she said this, she couldn't help but recall the past, her eyes full of gratitude.
"Moreover, when our mermaid tribe was attacked by the sea monster, he was the one who stood up and led everyone to fight bravely."
"Even when facing the powerful Xuanwu, he did not flinch and fought fiercely, risking his life."
"I, Gu Keke, will never forget this kindness, and the same goes for the fishmen."
"Now that he's in trouble and in urgent need of help, shouldn't we repay his kindness and friendship?"
She looked around, her eyes falling on everyone's face.
However, there was silence at the scene and no one seemed to respond.
Seeing this, Gu Keke reached out without hesitation, picked up the crown that was placed beneath her head, raised it high above her head, and said loudly: "If you have any objections to this, then... the position of the Queen of the Mermaid Tribe."
"I, Gu Keke, would rather give it up than go against my conscience!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
Everyone stared in amazement at the girl in front of them who seemed weak but was so courageous and resolute.
They never expected that Gu Keke could let go so easily without even the slightest hesitation.
Grandma Mermaid said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Gu Keke looked at the mermaid grandmother with complicated eyes.
Grandma Mermaid smiled kindly, "Please leave Fishman Island and do something more important."
"After all, Jingzhi has done us a favor, and we must repay the favor. This is what a queen should do."
Gu Keke was stunned. She didn't expect her to say such a thing.
"Jingzhi, please protect Coco. She is the hope of our merman tribe. Please!" The merman grandmother lowered her head and said solemnly.
"Well, don't worry, I will protect Coco."
At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "When will Her Majesty return?"
"I'll be back when this is over."
"We believe in Her Majesty!"
"May Your Majesty return soon!"
Gu Keke said again with tears in her eyes: "Thank you all for your trust. I will definitely not let you down!"
At noon, the scorching sun hangs high in the sky, casting its scorching light.
An ark slowly stopped above Fishman Island.
Its huge body blocked out part of the sunlight and cast a shadow.
At this moment, the shore was already surrounded by dense crowds of people.
People were whispering and talking.
In the crowd, Grandma Yuren held Gu Keke's hand tightly.
Grandma's eyes were full of love and concern.
She gently placed a space jade stone in Gu Keke's palm and earnestly warned her, "My child, you must be extremely careful when you venture out into the world."
"If you happen to encounter a powerful enemy that is difficult to deal with, don't forget to crush this spatial jade."
"As long as you do this, I, your grandma, will be able to sense it immediately and rush over to help you!"
Hearing the mermaid grandma's affectionate words, Gu Keke's eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red, and tears welled up in her eyes.
