While netizens were discussing the matter, Wan Jiao had already felt the attack from the 'evil spirits' coming from the depths of the palace; it was a deadly attack.
If it weren't for Wan Jiao's extraordinary eyes that could see everything behind the layers of black mist, and her own formidable strength, she would have lost her life here today.
She easily dodged it, then formed a hand seal, and a bright light flew out from her hands, heading straight for the depths of the palace.
Where the light passes, all darkness is dispelled.
Viewers in the live stream were immediately able to see the entire palace behind the darkness.
Good heavens, this isn't just a deep-sea palace; it's even more magnificent than ancient palaces on land!
Gold and diamonds burn my eyes.
There were also many beautiful and charming palace maids patrolling around.
Oh, and there are guards too.
Those who know will understand that Wan Jiao brought them on a deep-sea adventure, but those who don't might think this is a TV drama.
It's just... too real.
[A palace built of gold, and so many priceless, multicolored diamonds—who could have seen this?]
[Isn't this the ocean floor? How can they act like they're on land?]
I suspect I'm seeing a ghost, but I have no proof...
[Ghosts? Those shouldn't be ghosts, right?]
Although Wan Jiao didn't see the comments from netizens, she could roughly guess what they would ask, so she explained directly to everyone: "Those are not ghosts, but sea monsters."
"The truth behind R country's discharge of nuclear-contaminated water into the sea, which everyone is curious about, lies within this deep-sea palace."
Wan Jiao's words completely ignited the 'passion' of netizens.
The live stream chat was flooded with comments, but they were all repeating the same few phrases. For example:
[Answerer, if the flooding of R country's oceans is caused by these sea monsters, you absolutely must not be soft-hearted.]
[If the ocean is polluted, all of humanity will perish. These sea monsters' schemes have been heard even by the Queen Mother of the West in heaven.]
[Humans and transvestites are irreconcilable enemies. Since they want the extinction of all humanity, it's recommended that the streamer not let them off the hook either, and that they be made to reap what they sow.]
…
Wan Jiao entered the deep sea and appeared silently near the Siren Palace, shocking the entire Siren clan.
Queen Abelard angrily smashed the crystal goblet and began summoning her troops, shouting, "A human sorcerer has broken in! Everyone, grab your weapons and go to meet him!"
As soon as Abelee finished speaking, the Siren Prime Minister Suilan frowned and asked, puzzled, "Your Majesty, this is the Abyss of the Deep Sea. What is a mere human sorcerer worth mentioning? Aren't you being too paranoid?"
Abelei's mother and Suilan were sisters, born of the same mother. According to seniority, she should call Suilan "aunt".
Although Sui Lan is the prime minister of the Siren clan and Abelei's aunt, she is, in the end, the queen, and she is the one who is respected. Sui Lan's public questioning of Abelei's decision is not only inappropriate, but also a provocation against her queenly authority.
Abel's expression remained unchanged, but her tone turned slightly somber, "A mere human sorcerer? Lord Suilan, do you seem to have some misunderstanding about the word 'mere'?"
"Not at all!" Sui Lan said confidently, her eyes revealing no disdain for Abelei. "It is Your Majesty who is boosting the morale of others while diminishing your own."
Abelei succeeded to the throne of the Siren clan for just over a year.
During this time, Sui Lan repeatedly provoked her and embarrassed her in public on many occasions. Her intentions were as clear as day.
Unfortunately, Abelley couldn't do anything about it.
If Sui Lan hadn't been unable to participate in the queen selection due to illness, the current Queen of the Siren Clan would undoubtedly be Sui Lan.
The tribespeople were already dissatisfied with Abel, and if she were to punish Sui Lan, the prime minister who should have succeeded to the throne, it would inevitably cause countless troubles.
As king, one should carefully plan for the future of one's people.
Division, war, and internal strife must not occur!
At the very least, it cannot happen while Abelei is in power.
Otherwise, she would have no face to face her mother after her death!
Suppressing her anger, Abel patiently continued Sui Lan's words, "Lady Sui Lan, the barrier of the sea monster clan is not something ordinary humans can enter. Since that sorcerer was able to enter silently and wasn't discovered until she appeared outside the palace, do you think she's an ordinary person?"
"Underestimating the enemy is tantamount to sending our people to their deaths."
Abel's last few words were resounding and powerful.
The sea monsters present, who had initially thought Sui Lan's words made sense, immediately became serious.
"Her Majesty is right. Underestimating the enemy is a cardinal sin in warfare."
"Lord Suilan, what do you think? Why don't we make some preparations and go with you to repel the enemy?"
"Yes, Lord Suilan, you..."
"..."
Those who lose the hearts of the people have nothing.
Sui Lan understood this principle well, and although she was very unwilling, she had no choice but to mumble an "uh-huh".
…
As soon as Wan Jiao entered the Siren Clan's palace, she was surrounded by Siren soldiers. The leader was Abelei, followed by Sui Lan and several important ministers of the Siren Clan.
When Abelei saw that the person who came was Wan Jiao, a young girl who looked to be less than twenty years old, she frowned. "I am the queen of the sea monster clan. Who is this person? State your name."
Wan Jiao could see through Abelei's past and future at a glance.
Although she was the queen of the siren clan, she had never done anything immoral or harmful.
However, behind Abelei, Suilan, Wanjiao only glanced at Suilan and saw some clips of Suilan meeting with the Onmyoji from R country.
Worried about making a mistake, Wan Jiao even took the time to look at all the siren who seemed to have some status present.
The final conclusion was that only Sui Lan had a problem.
That makes sense.
The Siren clan has lived in seclusion in the deep sea for thousands of years. There is no reason for them to defy the world at this time and stir up trouble by taking advantage of the nuclear-contaminated water from Country R.
After all that, it turns out it was the 'actions' of a few isolated sea monsters!
Sui Lan, the youngest princess of the previous generation of the Siren royal family, should have been the most promising successor to the throne. However, she contracted a strange disease after killing her own sister (the previous queen), and suffered unbearable pain every full moon night.
More than a year ago, the day of the selection of the Queen of the Siren Clan happened to be the night of the full moon...
Wan Jiao narrowed her eyes, looking at Abei Lei, but speaking to Sui Lan, "Sui Lan, Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are unforgivable."
After speaking with Sui Lan, Wan Jiao took the initiative to introduce herself, "Your Majesty, I am Wan Jiao, a sorcerer from the Sheng Kingdom. I have come here only to ask your sea monster clan for a reason."
Ask the siren clan for a reason?
What's the reasoning behind that?
If Abelei remembers correctly, she and her people live in seclusion in the deep sea and never have any contact with humans on land. Why would this female sorcerer named Wanjiao say such a thing?
