Chapter 192 (1/2)

“You! Arrogant humans, don’t think that just because saved a few of our brethren that you can treat us so disrespectfully!” The merman gave Qi Aoshuang a long look. He was already grasping his trident tightly, a stomach full of anger. Although the mermen behind him could not understand what their captain was saying, they could tell by his expression that something was wrong.

“Humph!” Qi Aoshuang humphed, her eyes darkening.

A powerful force greeted the captain, pushing him back a few stops. His blood churned madly. With a grunt, he finally steadied himself. His subordinates worriedly supported him, then all aimed their tridents at Qi Aoshuang’s party.

The captain raised an arm, blocking them. He eyed Qi Aoshuang coldly, gritting his teeth. “I don’t know what God Feather you speak of.”

“Just because you don’t doesn’t mean your king doesn’t,” Qi Aoshuang said impatiently. “If you’re going to pay our kindness with mistreatment, I’m not going to bother holding back!”

The mermaid captain’s expression paled, then greened. He gritted his teeth, eyeing Qi Aoshuang for some time before responding coldly, “Wait here. I will report to the king.”

The squadron hurriedly swam back to the city.

This time, the captain responded quickly, his expression serious as he hurried to them. He looked at Qi Aoshuang. “Benefactor, please follow me into the city. But the king said only you can enter.”

Feng Yixuan and Leng Lingyun wanted to say something, but Qi Aoshuang turned to them and said, “Wait for me here.” She did not leave any room for argument. Everyone could only wait.

Qi Aoshuang rode the aquafission beast, following the captain into the vibrant city. Qiao Chuxin worriedly watched Qi Aoshuang’s leaving figure. “Aoshuang should be fine, right? That mermaid king shouldn’t do anything strange, right?”

“Most likely.” Dong Fenghou was also watching Qi Aoshuang’s back. “If there is some kind of problem, the aquafission beast will immediately inform me.”

“If the king dares to do anything strange, I will destroy the place.” Feng Yixuan clenched a fist.

Xi Shaoqi and Xi Shaosi rolled their eyes. If something actually went wrong, would young master Feng even have to bother? The Miss alone was enough to raze the place to the ground. The mermen race should be more worried than the miss.

As she followed the captain into the city, the erect soldiers on each side of the city gates watched Qi Aoshuang warily, the apprehension evident in their eyes.

After passing through the gates, they were inside the immense underwater city. The city was not much different from a human city, with wide avenues and roads everywhere. All the passersby mermaids would stop to see human. Everyone knew what had happened and understood that the human behind the captain must have saved their brethren. However, their gazes continued to be unfavorable. Afterall, humanity had already left a deeply rooted, nasty impression.

Qi Aoshuang didn’t have the time to appreciate the environment or architecture, following the captain on the thick avenue, passing through a large plaza to arrive before the tallest, most gorgeous building.

“Please follow me.” Though unwilling, the captain still treated Qi Aoshuang respectfully, leading her up a long path of stairs.

At the top, past a large gateway, they arrived before a large shrine. In the middle of the shrine stood armed merman. Two mermaids sat atop a luxurious throne. One was tall, robust, with a long, black tail trailing on the ground, his expression lofty, wearing a dazzling, golden crown. Clearly, this was the king. Beside him was a gentle beauty who was wrapped in soft seagrass. She had a long silver tail, wearing a small and exquisite golden crown. This was the queen.

“Your majesty, the human has arrived.” The captain bowed respectfully, then withdrew to the side.

All eyes landed on Qi Aoshuang.

“Are you the human who saved my people?” The mermaid king watched Qi Aoshuang from above, aloof. He was also fluent in the human language.

“You must know what I want.” Qi Aoshuang did not feel like beating around the bush with the arrogant mermaids.

The mermaid king frowned with displeasure. This rude human did not even bow when they met him. Now, the human even ignored his question and was asking for upfront payment.
