Chapter 2417: Private Meeting

When he saw the maid’s look of adoration, Zu An chuckled. “Let’s go and help our queen.”

He'd already thought through some things. Since the present day had the Shang sisters and the Mermaid race, that meant the Mermaid race hadn’t experienced anything catastrophic. If there was no way to settle things without violence, the Mermaid Queen and even the entire Mermaid race could be in danger. He seemed to have vaguely sensed some kind of trend. Was fate already fixed, or was it still not set?

Peach shivered when she saw what he was going to do and quickly grabbed him. “Queen’s future husband, you absolutely cannot act rashly!”

Are you kidding me right now? Even though I’ll admit that you’re a bit stronger than I imagined, there’s that crazy strong Mojard outside! No matter how strong you are, could you really beat him?

“What did you call me?” Zu An’s expression became a bit strange hen he turned around to look at her.

“Ah, nothing. I was just telling you to please not act recklessly. You’ll only be adding trouble for the queen if you go out there now and might even bring her danger!” Peach secretly stuck out her tongue.

I was so worked up that I accidentally shouted out my thoughts.

If the queen knew I'd exposed her identity, wouldn’t she skin me alive?

“It’ll be fine," Zu An said with a smile. He walked out immediately after.

Peach was struck speechless for a while by that smile. In that instant, she suddenly felt as if his smile was extremely charming. But she quickly snapped out of her daze.

Why did I become as blind as the queen? Can even someone who looks like that be handsome?

When she saw that he had already walked quite far away, she quickly caught up to him. She protested, “Young master, you really can’t go over there. You’ll just end up bringing the queen trouble!”

“I guess you’re right. I need to change a bit," Zu An said with a nod. He took out a mask from his inner pockets and quickly changed into another appearance.

With these several layers of disguises, Mojard won’t recognize me and it won’t affect this piece of history.

Peach was stunned when she saw that.

His appearance changed just like that?

Wait, this appearance is still really plain. Is that ordinary appearance from before also just a disguise?

The queen must’ve seen his real face. I was going to say, how could the queen like someone so plain?!

I’m so stupid, seriously!

...

Outside, the Mermaid Queen’s mind moved quickly. She was trying to figure out some way to save them. If she let Deputy Officer Sha catch Peach, there would be no way to salvage the situation anymore.

And that stupid guard is definitely no match for Deputy Officer Sha.

What do I do, what do I do?

How can I confirm my innocence while also saving that foolish guard?

She suddenly realized something and came up with a solution. Even though that method was a bit inappropriate, this was a moment of crisis and she couldn't afford to worry about all of that anymore.

As such, she said, “Fine, the reason why I didn’t say anything is because the matter was a bit embarrassing. But in order to not damage the relationship between the monsters and the Ocean races, I’ll just be frank.”

The Dragon King was overjoyed to hear that. “The queen should’ve been like this from the start. Please continue; I will help you preside over things.”

The Mermaid Queen’s expression grew a bit strange, but she still replied, “Thank you Dragon King. Actually, I was meeting my lover in private, so that was why I was trying to cover it up the entire time.”

At first, the Dragon King was admiring her extraordinary beauty, thinking,

As expected of the woman I like the most.

When he heard that, he subconsciously began saying to Mojard, “I was just saying that the Incestuous King definitely misunderstood. How could she possibly be the assassin? She was just in her room with her lover... Huh?”

His body completely froze midway through his sentence. He turned around to that devastatingly beautiful woman as if he didn’t dare to believe his ears.

It wasn’t just him. Even the Mermaid Queen’s subordinates turned to look at their queen in shock. Their eyes were moving rapidly as if an earthquake had begun.

The beautiful and noble queen had a lover? Just what kind of man could become the lover of the queen?

Motherf*cker, we’re so jealous!

The other big shots who had followed the Dragon King here were petrified on the spot. The goddess they had chased for so many years actually had an owner? She'd been in a private meeting with her lover! That lover’s tongue had probably gone wherever it wanted in her mouth, right? He could have done even more unacceptable things.

Just the thought alone was enough for their hearts to shatter.

“No!”

𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

“!!!”

Countless people were screaming internally. In that instant, it was as if the ocean waves around them were playing a poignant and bleak song.

In the past, even though the Mermaid Queen never responded to their passionate declarations of love, they hadn’t really minded it because even the Fiend Emperor and Dragon King had been rejected. They could accept their rejections because they were all treated equally. Sometimes, they even comforted each other a bit. But now that they learned that there was someone who had already taken this beauty home, their minds collapsed.

Who is it? Just who managed to win the queen’s heart?!

They all even shared a tacit understanding that no matter how handsome and amazing he was, they would immediately cut him down once they saw who it was.

Zu An and Peach were stunned as they arrived. They'd never expected to hear such shocking news.

Peach’s expression was full of excitement.

The queen is so brave! She actually announced her relationship with her future husband publicly in front of so many of her pursuers! She really loves her future husband!

Her future husband must’ve been worried about her and decided to come out to help.

I ship them!

When she saw them arrive, there was a bit of confusion on the Mermaid Queen’s face. Who was the person next to Peach?

Wait, his clothes are a bit familiar. Peach is following him, and there’s that familiar look in his eyes. So it was him!

It seems that foolish guard wasn’t really foolish at all. He changed his appearance once he knew that Mojard was outside.

Wait, then doesn’t that mean he heard what I just said?

The Mermaid Queen’s face immediately turned red when she realized that. Everything she'd said just now had to seem like a public confession.

She wondered just what he was thinking.

Wait, he doesn’t even know that I'm Suyin. Alright, it’s still fine, it’s still fine.

The one who's embarrassed is the Mermaid Queen. What does it have to do with me, Suyin?

When they saw the Mermaid Queen’s shy expression, how could the people present still not know that this man was the lover she was speaking of? They immediately felt so much fiery jealousy that the seawater was practically about to boil.

Zu An was even starting to become a bit numb when he saw the crazy amount of Rage points. No matter how much he'd tried to guard against it, in the end, he'd still ended up getting seriously involved with this important historical figure.

I’m done for!

Will this create some devastating effect on the future Mermaid race?

That unwilling look on his face, in the eyes of everyone else, only made Zu An seem as if he deserved a proper beating. Another huge wave of Rage points followed.

When they took in Zu An's ordinary looks, however, they managed to calm down a bit. They'd thought that the Mermaid Queen ended up liking a truly handsome man. But this was it?

How am I inferior to him?!

But then, an even greater wave of Rage points surged in.

The Dragon King gritted his teeth as he stared at Zu An. “Just who are you?”
