Chapter 176 (2/2)

Thus, more or less every strong tribal race in the sea region contained some amount of the flood dragon bloodline . For instance, the incomparably formidable Whale Sovereign could in a sense be considered a distant cousin of the Sea Sovereign . Because their bloodlines had already been mixed together, they couldn’t be used to reactivate the potential of the royal family bloodline .

So, the human race had become the best choice .

But this idea had faced heavy resistance . When the Sea Sovereign once mentioned this in the past, he had nearly been drenched in sputtering saliva by that group of stubborn old fogies . They had even threatened that if His Majesty dared to tarnish the royal family’s bloodline, they would smash their heads into the royal palace gates as a means to atone for His Majesty’s sins towards his ancestors .

While he did think it would be best for these old fogies to smash their heads and save himself future headaches, in the end, the Sea Sovereign put this matter on hold for an indefinite period of time . To be fair, if there really was to be a marriage with a human, Qin Yu was undoubtedly the best possible choice . But, that stubborn Council of Elders would be difficult to deal with .

The old turtle seemed to guess His Majesty’s thoughts . He sneered and said, “Qin Yu’s existence is related to Your Majesty’s safety, so using this as the reason, who would dare to oppose it? Your Majesty, this is a good chance to intermarry families with a human, and it can also solve Qin Yu’s problem . And, there is another piece of news that Your Majesty might not be aware of . This Qin Yu was the cultivator who initially kidnapped Princess Lushy . ”

The Sea Sovereign came to a sudden realization . “No wonder the Whale Sovereign flew into a rage and couldn’t hold himself back from personally trying to kill Qin Yu . This Solitude was just thinking about this matter . With that, everyone can be explained . ”

The old turtle smiled . “It was a bit shameful at first, but with the Whale Sovereign’s strength, this initial matter…hehe, it was hard to mention . Well, it’s in the past, definitely in the past . What I want to tell His Majesty is that Princess Lushy has recently sent people to secretly investigate Qin Yu . ”

The Sea Sovereign’s eyes flashed . “Did Soupman discover this?”

“Mm . His injuries are quite serious . Before he went into seclusion he pa.s.sed these matters to me and had me handle them instead . I inadvertently discovered this . ”

“Is mister trying to say that Lushy is interested in this person?”

“The only reason that I fought off the Demon Monarch and saved Qin Yu was because I was asked to by Princess Lushy…if she wasn’t interested in him, she shouldn’t have asked me to help him and then secretly investigate him from the back, right? I admit, there are some things that I have a particularly sharp eye towards . I initially chose not to inform Princess Lushy about Qin Yu because it was impossible for anything to occur between them . But now, that is a matter of the past . I can use this as an excuse now to find out Princess Lushy’s intentions . ”

The Sea Sovereign thought for a moment and nodded . “Very well, do as you wish . But, Lushy must agree to this, otherwise think of another plan . ”

The old turtle smiled and nodded . “Of course . This is my sea race’s royal family princess; just what sort of revered and honored status does she have? How could she be wronged and forced to marry someone against her will?”

He stood up . “Your Majesty, I will take my leave now . ”

Within the sea races, they didn’t discriminate between men and women or between the old and the young . Everyone had the same right of inheritance . All that was required was sufficient talent and sufficient tactics . The winner would obtain all qualifications of inheritance .

Thus, while the princess’ palace was built outside the royal palace, it still possessed a dignified aura full of overwhelming might . The guards that manned the gates had sharp and fearless auras . They coldly stared at the seafolk who pa.s.sed by the entrance, their bodies emitting an indifference that didn’t allow any strangers to enter .

But when the old turtle arrived, the several guards revealed a flattering expression, their smiles brighter than the spring . They bowed again and again, as if they were dogs leaping in joy .

“Ah, if mister is looking for Her Highness the princess then there is no need for any questioning; you may head directly in . The princess has already been informed of your arrival beforehand . ” They watched with respect until Mister Turtle vanished from sight . Even then their smiles didn’t fade in the least .

Although he hadn’t been announced, Mister Turtle didn’t need to enter the residence before Princess Lushy came to greet him with her court ladies in tow . “Mister, how come you have so much free time to come visit me today?”

Her voice was calm and her complexion was serene . But, there were some minor tics that didn’t escape the old turtle’s sight . This little girl was clearly worried and was also concealing a few points of grievance . It was just that she was a smart young lady so she didn’t say anything about it .

The old turtle relaxed a bit and his thoughts changed . He pretended to sigh and said, “I just came from the royal palace . I heard so many arguments that I felt as if my head would explode . Since His Majesty didn’t wish for my presence anymore, I decided to just walk away . ”

“Wait a moment! Mister, you…are you saying you were arguing?”

Mister Turtle shook his head . “They were the ones arguing? Just what sort of status do I have? I definitely wouldn’t do something so debasing as arguing with them . To be specific, it is about that Qin Yu . He concealed himself as a sea spirit teacher to play tricks on everyone, and you should also be aware of the changes that occurred to the Sea Mausoleum . It is said that this was all a human conspiracy, and now, hah, there are many calling for him to be killed . ”

Princess Lushy’s face froze and a bit of worry appeared in her eyes .

The old turtle found this quite interesting . He blinked his eyes . “I was just playing with you . That boy Qin Yu is safe for now . But, what happens next will depend on what His Majesty decides to do . ”

Princess Lushy bit her lips . Just as she was about to become angry she managed to restrain herself . “And what do I have to do with it?”

Turtle Mister spoke up, “It didn’t have anything to do with you before, but now it does . This is because His Majesty intends to marry you to Qin Yu . If princess agrees, then he will become the royal son-in-law of the sea races, and of course his old debts will be written off . Well, if you don’t want to, then I don’t know what will happen . ”

Princess Lushy was both embarra.s.sed and shocked . She flushed red and shouted out, “Mister, just what nonsense are you speaking of!?”

Mister Turtle nodded earnestly . “It looks like princess doesn’t wish for this . I will go and report it to His Majesty . ”

As he spoke, he turned to leave .

Princess Lushy was fl.u.s.tered, “Hold on!”

The old turtle turned around, a teasing look on his face .

She knew she had fallen for his tricks . But after saying it, she could see past it . “Humph! Just what are you smirking about? That’s right, this princess here has taken a liking to him! Mister, you can go and tell my father that I agree to this marriage!”
