Chapter 393 Changes Caused by Time and Space
Nafiel raised his hand, unsure of where to touch it.
"I felt it."
Duan Si frowned. "But the female master isn't here. What's going on?"
Nakan, guided by his senses, arrived at a beach and looked around in confusion.
"That's strange, I felt it too."
After searching for a while, Duan Si looked at Mu Ling.
"Was the timing wrong again?"
Over the course of those few years, they made many trips back and forth, including to Austria, where they secretly infiltrated the royal palace.
But King Osiris of the Sea was not in the palace, and the beastmen of the Sea Kingdom had not heard of the existence of a Queen.
It wasn't that it was never mentioned.
This time, when they arrived at this beach, the orc mentioned the Queen, saying that the Queen liked to play on the beach, and that orcs and sea creatures were not allowed to approach a certain area of the sea recently.
However, when they arrived at the beach, the time that had finally overlapped seemed to have become out of sync again.
Nafi's brows furrowed slightly.
"Next time we find the right time, we shouldn't teleport again. It's probably because every time we teleport, time gets out of sync. This world's timeline might have been messed up for Mu Ling."
Mu Ling scratched her head in frustration.
"Shall we continue?"
Duan Si: "Let's continue."
However, what they didn't know was that on the white sand beach right before their eyes, their mistress was kissing Osiris.
In the deep sea, handsome young merfolk gathered at a coral reef, engaged in an excited discussion.
"Have you heard? The Sea Kingdom's palace is selecting some beastmen to sing for the Queen!!"
"Oh my god! I've finally waited for this day when the Queen chooses her husband! It wasn't for nothing that I rejected countless females who wanted to marry me!!"
"Give me a break! Someone like you wouldn't even be considered attractive among the merfolk. How could the Queen possibly want you!"
"If you don't like me, do you think you're interested in me? Do you think you're some kind of dragonfish?!"
"Hehe, my ancestors, my great-great-great-great-great-grandparents, had dragon-fish bloodlines!"
The merfolk beastmen argued incessantly, even fighting on the seabed, stirring up the water and causing nearby corals to collapse one after another.
Suddenly, someone shouted.
"Kanassus is here!"
The young merfolk parted to make way for a cool-looking boy with black hair, red eyes, and a black tail, who swam out from the collapsed coral ruins.
Beside him swam a black dragonfish with a very long tail.
The mermaid youths exclaimed in surprise, "Cecilia is here too!"
Cecilia was born with the bloodline of a dragonfish and usually stays in the Boundless Sea, rarely coming out.
Kanases is the brother of Cecilia, but he is the only orc in this generation of dragonfish race who does not have dragonfish blood.
However, because his father, brothers, sons, and nephews all possess dragonfish blood, he remains a member of the dragonfish clan and lives in the Boundless Sea.
However, the situation remains very delicate at sea.
Those orcs who hadn't awakened their dragon-fish bloodline were jealous of him, yet couldn't help feeling a sense of satisfaction, knowing that he would become an ordinary mermaid just like them.
Cecilia swam silently beside Cannases; if his fish face could make expressions, it would be quite unsightly.
He forgot that the timeline here dates back a thousand years.
At that time, he was still a small dragonfish that had not yet taken human form, and even Kanases had only recently taken human form.
Therefore, as soon as they appeared in this space-time, he and Kanases automatically transformed into their appearance from a thousand years ago, and even their superpowers were imprisoned a thousand years ago.
But he couldn't help feeling fortunate that he had already been born at this time, instead of being inside an egg.
Otherwise, that would be true despair.
Canasses wasn't in a much better mood either.
However, this is only temporary. Once he figures out the method Osiris used, he will be able to reverse the forced changes caused by spacetime.
"The Sea King's Palace is selecting mermaids to sing?" he asked coldly.
The merfolk youths quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes."
Although they were both jealous and pleased with Kanases, they still maintained appearances, after all, they didn't want to be bothered by the dragonfish clan of the Boundless Sea.
Where do I choose?
"White Sand Island".
Canases grunted in response and turned to leave.
Cecilia swung her tail and chased after it.
The mermaid youths stood there, watching their departing figures.
A young man scratched his head.
"Don't you guys think Kanases is a bit strange?"
"Were his eyes...red before?"
"His tail also seemed to have some red shimmering about it..."
"Could his dragonfish bloodline have been activated?!"
It's not impossible to reactivate after transformation, but it's extremely rare. In the history of the sea race, there has only been one such instance: the ancestor who left behind the Boundless Sea.
"How could that be? I heard that the reason that ancestor was awakened was because he married the most powerful female on the beastman continent at that time. That female's beast husband was either a dragon, a phoenix, or even a Qilin, which had been extinct for many years!"
"Alright, alright, you guys chat, I'm leaving now."
The orc secretly went to the underwater market to buy some beautiful mermaid silk to fully display his body's curves and show off his charm to the Queen.
The other merfolk orcs thought similarly, and dispersed, sneaking off to the underwater market. They eventually bumped into each other there, awkwardly pretending nothing had happened.
On the vast sea, a large ship braves the wind and waves, heading towards the islands of Haiguo.
At the bow of the large ship stood a sacred young man in a golden robe, with long, light-gold hair and a golden floral crown.
The young orcs on the boat chirped.
"Dressed up so elaborately, who are you going to seduce in the Sea Kingdom!"
"Who else could it be! It's not like you're the only one!"
With the arrival of the Queen Consort, countless land beastmen flocked to the Sea Kingdom, setting sail in ships to try their luck—perhaps they could marry into the kingdom.
In that way, the beast's life will reach its peak, one beast will attain enlightenment, and the entire family will ascend to heaven!
Camus ignored the long-tongued orcs and looked at the captain at the helm.
"How much longer until we reach the Sea Kingdom?"
The captain, with a stick dangling from his mouth, glanced at him.
"It will take at least half a month."
"What's the rush?"
"You're a great catch, no problem."
As he spoke, the captain began to reminisce about his youth.
"If it were a few decades earlier, I would definitely have tried my luck too."
The captain sighed, "What a pity, what a pity."
The first mate looked at him with a complicated expression.
The captain was instantly displeased.
"Don't let my current appearance fool you, I was a famous handsome young man on our island when I was young! Back then, pirates all wanted to kidnap me and make me their beast husband!"
The first mate gave a perfunctory "uh-huh."
Who are you trying to fool? If it weren't for the fact that I can't get married and no females want me, who would want to come out and drive a boat? I'm getting uglier and uglier from being exposed to the wind, rain and sun.
The first mate thought that once he had saved enough money, he would go back to his hometown to live a few years, and then use his shell coins to find a way to get married. Wouldn't that be much better than drifting at sea with these dark-skinned, unwanted orcs every day?
Suddenly, a streak of fiery red and golden light flashed across the sky.
Camus looked up, his emerald eyes narrowing.
