1232 I Do Not Really Like The Look (1/2)

The king of the mermaids swayed his sleeve and the pearl immediately presented itself to Gu Xijiu. She looked heavenly under the shimmering light from the pearl.

Gu Xijiu took another step back and said gently, ”I know the extent of my performance. I did well, but not as good as Lan Fei. The pearl should belong to him.”

Gu Xijiu was an expert in singing, so she knew how things were.

Her performance stood out because of her different style of singing. However, Lan Fei was still a little better than her based on their vocals. She did not want to take something she did not deserve.

The audience applauded. This time, the audience looked at Gu Xijiu with respect because they knew that she could sing well and was a very righteous lady.

Lan Yaoguang looked at Gu Xijiu with eyes full of confusion. ”Miss Gu…” Just when he was about to say something, Gu Xijiu interrupted him, ”Your Majesty, since the matter has been resolved, may I leave now?”

”Certainly! I will never restrict you.”

Gu Xijiu smiled lightly. ”Great. Your Majesty, I have indeed a favor to ask.”

”Miss Gu, please.”

”I would like you to send some men to send me out later.”

Lan Yaoguang did not know how to respond. He took a quick glance at Di Fuyi and saw his intense eyes on Gu Xijiu. She did not even look at him once during the conversation.

Lan Yaoguang cleared his throat. ”What is the rush? You rarely visit, so I should host a banquet in honor of you. Moreover, the Mermaid Kingdom is different than the land. There is plenty of good food and entertainment. You should spend more time here for me to host you.”
