Chapter 72: Another Competition



Looking at the map, You Ai wanted to ask the Queen, this doesn't look like a very technical competition, can it inspire Meng Danhong?

Of course she didn't ask.

But she thought of one thing. The queen only told her the location, but did not mention the competition method and various taboos. That is, in this competition, as long as the crystal can be found, no matter the method or means.

She wondered whether she should try to find it herself or ask others to help her look for it.

Meng Danhong said goodbye to her and left first. Looking at the map, it seemed that most of the crystals were in residential areas. Yu Ai was thinking that this might be intentional. Before she could leave, the queen found her.

"Your Majesty." You Ai saluted.

"No need to be so polite," the Queen said tenderly, looking at her belly. "Is the baby almost due?"

When talking about the baby, You Ai also smiled, subconsciously holding her belly and said, "In a few days."

The Queen smiled and nodded, saying, "Come with me and take a look."

"Where are you going?"

The Queen said, "Go and see how the collection of Mondanhong's crystals is going."

"Then I..." Doesn't she need to collect crystals?

"Originally, I asked you to help. How could I let you go looking for her with a big belly? Everything has been arranged. Don't worry." You Ai guessed that the Queen's original intention was probably that Mai Fei felt sorry for his partner and would blame her.

Yu Ai wasn't worried. She didn't want to be the king anyway. She followed the queen out, and the queen took her to a lookout tower.

What puzzled her was why it was covered with gauze if it was a lookout tower, until she saw the red Mengdan underneath.

Oh! To make it easier to observe without being discovered.

But what was Meng Danhong doing? Wasn't she here looking for the crystal? Why was she directing a group of mermaids to dig in the ground? Could the crystal still be hidden above ground?

You Ai glanced at the queen next to her, her expression did not change, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking!

A hole was dug in the ground, and a tree was brought from somewhere and placed in the hole, and then soil was added back in.

You Ai wanted to ask the Queen if this was arranged by her, but she swallowed the words back. It had just begun, so she would wait and see.

Meng Danhong collected the crystals and continued on her way. She had looked at the map and saw that there were more crystals in the residential area, so she came to the residential area in the east district. Unexpectedly, before she started collecting crystals, she was stopped by a grandmother who said that the amusement park was too far away and she wanted to build a swing for her grandson.

She found a director, determined the location, asked someone to help dig a hole, and plant a tree. After a few days when the roots had taken root deeply, she could then attach the swing frame.

After collecting a few crystals, she continued forward when a female suddenly rushed out and almost collided with her. The female had not expected to almost collide with the princess, and she was so frightened that she immediately apologized.

"It's okay, we didn't bump into anything." Meng Danhong smiled and let her get up.

But she saw that the female's eyes were red, and she looked like she had been crying. Meng Danhong recalled that when she almost bumped into her just now, what fell seemed to be pearls, but there were no pearls on the ground now. They were undoubtedly tears.

She said, "Why are you crying like this?"

Miao Li shook her head, and then a male came out after her. Before he could see Meng Danhong, he started yelling, "Why are you running? It was just a touch..."

The next thing Tang Heng saw was Meng Danhong, and his pupils shrank slightly.

On the lookout tower, You Ai clearly saw the male retreating, but suddenly stepped forward and saluted Meng Danhong.

Meng Danhong also noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's going on?"

Tang Heng said, "Your Highness, it's nothing. It's just that our two families are discussing a marriage, and Miao Li is embarrassed."

Hearing this, Meng Danhong looked to the side and saw Miao Li's nose twitching. She didn't look embarrassed, but as if she was being bullied.

"Miao Li, you tell the story." Originally, when Meng Danhong came here, other mermaids rushed out to watch the fun. Although everyone didn't dare to come closer, they were all paying attention to this side.

Miao Li looked at the other onlookers, then at Meng Danhong, biting her lip in hesitation. Tang Heng immediately interrupted, "See, Your Highness, she's just embarrassed."

Meng Danhong looked at Miao Li and said, "If you don't want to talk, I'll let him do it."

Miao Li hesitated for a moment, then looked at Tang Heng and said, "I'll tell you!"

"My father wanted me to be a couple with Tang Heng, and today was the day we were supposed to meet, but he wasn't being honest with me... so I ran away."

Tang Heng quickly explained, "Your Highness, I didn't do anything. I just touched her hand." Then he turned to Miao Li and said, "Okay, if you don't like me, I won't force you. Let's just assume that we are not destined to be together." After saying that, he shook his head and was about to leave.

This... Meng Danhong was wondering whether she should keep the male to verify it, when she heard a child's voice coming from the other side, shouting: The old man of the Cross family is dying.

When Miao Li heard this, she trembled all over and hurried back quickly. Meng Danhong didn't have time to ask any more questions, but she noticed Tang Heng's actions: he wanted to take advantage of the chaotic situation to leave, which was very wrong.

Meng Danhong's spiritual power struck Tang Heng in front of him. Everyone was frightened by her sudden attack and did not dare to move.

"Why are you running?"

"I don't want to run away!" Tang Heng said this, and when he glanced around, he saw a guard coming to talk to Meng Danhong, and he quickly rushed into the crowd.

"Catch him!" Meng Danhong gave an order, and two guards chased after him, while she went towards Miao Li.

From the observation deck, Yu Ai couldn't see what was happening inside. She looked around distractedly. The Queen said, "Are you looking for McPhee and the others?"

Yu Ai couldn't help but blush. If it was anyone else, she would definitely say yes directly, but the other party was Mai Fei's mother. She suddenly felt very embarrassed and said, "I'll see if I can find Thor."

The Queen saw through it but didn't say anything. She just said, "They are coming."

Looking in the direction the queen pointed, it was McPhee, with Thor sitting on his shoulders, holding his chin with both hands, laughing.

Yu Ai couldn't help but smile when she saw this. The Queen's tone softened a lot. She said, "This is the first time I see Mai Fei laughing so much."

"Hmm?" McPhee shouldn't give people the impression of being very fierce. Everyone in Tuscania is very friendly when they see McPhee.

"McFee used to laugh a lot, but he was just used to it." Thor on the other side was talking about something funny, and he was laughing so hard that his tail was about to slide back from McFee's shoulder. McFee quickly grabbed his tail and said something to him.

Thor lowered his head and put his face close to McPhee's forehead, kissed him, and then rested his head on top of his.

The Queen did not speak any more and watched the scene quietly. Perhaps at this moment she recalled that she had seen or expected such a heartwarming scene between father and son before.
