C292 (1/2)

Alright, now that the subjugating true spirit was not reviving and he was locked in this small room, the only thing he could do was to think.

Carefully recalling the words of the subjugating true spirit, could there be any hidden BOSSes here? Even the subjugating true spirit couldn't help but feel like it was trying to escape. Sigh, but since he had called me over, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Just wait, I just hope that he will wake up soon so that we can kill his way out and teach those old bastards who still want to fight for the throne a lesson.

Eh?

Didn't they say that there was still a Queen in the Mermaid? Although the Mermaid King had become a living widow after his death, she was, after all, in charge of a million female troops.

However, Jia Luo and Jia Ren did not really know much about her situation. They only said that after the Mermaid King died, the queen had shut himself in the imperial harem and did not step out of the main door. He also pretended not see anything about Taichu Deyun and Tai Chuzhize's ambitions and silently lived his life in the imperial harem.

No matter if it was Taichu Deyun or her own brother, Tai Chuzhize, both of them had tried to rope her in before, but towards the two of them, they had never expressed their support for her husband's brother, nor did they say they were supporting their own brother. They only said that as a woman, they did not want to get involved in battles, and only wanted to live quietly for a few years.

But was that possible?

A nation should not be without a king, but a family should not be without a ruler for a single day.

It had been a long time since the Primitive Tribe had had a king. Everyone had their own factions and was fighting with each other, using up all of the tribe's strength. Most of the tribe's territories and resources had already been divided up by the other tribes, if this continued, the entire Primitive Tribe would change its name.

As the queen of a tribe, she was able to calm down and enjoy her life even under such circumstances. It was undeniable that even she herself did not have such a mindset, and it was unknown whether this calmness was due to the death of the mermaid king or because she had greater plans.

If the former was so good, then she wouldn't pose any threat to his plans. However, if it was the latter, then he would be an even harder opponent to deal with.

”Who is it?”

Du Lei clearly felt that someone was approaching him.

”Don't worry, I just want to ask you a few questions that won't hurt you.”

The person was wearing a veil. It was obvious that she did not want others to know her identity.

”What do you want to know?”

”That infant you brought back really does have the bloodline of the Holy Maiden?”

”I think all of you should have a way to verify whether or not it's really the Saintess' bloodline. Moreover, she's already in your hands.”

Du Lei said.

The person was clearly silent for a moment. It was unknown what he was thinking, but it was clear that this was not the answer she wanted.

”Who are you, then?”

the man asked again.

”Me? Hur Hur. Of course I'm here to escort your Holy Maiden back.”

Before he figured out the other party's identity, Du Lei did not plan to reveal his identity to her.

”Hmph, stop trying to talk back. You know what I want to ask. Normal humans would not be able to come to such a deep seabed, and yet, they are still able to remain so calm in the face of all this.”
