Legend of the Great Sage

ng good can come out of this kid coming to the Mist province! The potential that he and Xiao An have demonstrated is overly startling.
I need his majesty to consider nipping them in the bud.
If we can make them remain in the Mist province forever, the benefit that comes out of that is no less than killing two great cultivators of the Green province.
Though, perhaps there’s no need for that.

Mister Ram gazed at the Silver Dragon King within the mist and clouds.
A cold light flashed through his eyes, and he vanished into the curtain of rain.

Soon after mister Ram had left, a masked figure arrived before the residence of the merpeople and bowed.
“I wish to see her majesty.”

A while later, the mist parted again.

Ru Xin walked over the surface of the lake, approaching the residence step by step.
Enchanting laughter rang out from under the rippling surface of the lake as beautiful figures swam about, studying her.

A beautiful mermaid emerged from the water and asked curiously, “Hey, what’s your name?”

Ru Xin glanced at her and recalled a distant name, but she did not answer her.
She arrived directly in front of the residence and stopped there for a while, studying the place.
Reminiscence appeared on her face, but it was hidden behind the heavy mask, for no one to see.

South sea, I’ve returned.

She entered the residence, and the whistling sound of rain suddenly grew distant.
A world of water unfolded before her.

Numerous beautiful mermaids swam and played around in the water.
Their fishtails of various colours, dark-blue, crimson-red, inky-green, and so on, produced a series of colourful streaks.

The exchange of regular goods had already been completed.
Most of it had been bartering, exchanging for resources that the sea lacked, as well as some supplies for war, like pills, talismans, food, and so on.

They could finally stop maintaining a pair of legs and dealing with those ugly humans.
Splitting their fishtails did not bring the slightest comfort at all, and walking on land was very difficult too, nowhere near as easy as swimming.
The merpeople who had just transformed their fishtail into a pair of legs recently basically felt like they were walking on razor blades as they walked on land.

Once the auction tomorrow came to an end, they could go home, so all of them were in a good mood.
However, what made them the happiest was that the queen who had always been so icy-cold seemed to warm up a lot too.
In her spare time, she would even guide their cultivation, which had never occurred before.

Ru Xin glanced at Gong Yuan sitting on the crystal throne and sucked in a deep breath, adjusting her mental condition.
The feeling of being a bystander in the crowd really was different from facing her directly!

“You’re the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s disciple?” Gong Yuan asked from above.

“I am.”

“How dare you! If you want to see the queen, remove your mask right now and state who you are!” The captain of the guards, Gong Kun, scolded.

“Refining poison has destroyed my appearance, so I don’t wish to show my face to anyone, so please forgive me, your majesty.
As for a name, that’s just a label given to a person.
It can be real, but it can also be fake, so why place so much emphasis on it?” Ru Xin said hoarsely.

Gong Yuan waved her hand and dismissed Gong Kun.
Those demonic cultivators who refined poison regularly frequently disfigured themselves.
Seeing how she was a woman, it made sense that she did not want to show her face to anyone.
Most importantly, she must have come under the Myriad Poison Ancestor’s instructions.
There was no need to provoke that narrow-minded old man over a trifle like this.

“Since it’s the Merfolk sea fair, I’d like to make a deal with your majesty,” said Ru Xin.

“Oh? Let’s hear it.
What do you have, and what do you want to exchange it for?”

“I want to use the lives of all fire devourers that have not undergone a heavenly tribulation in the Fire Melt mountains to exchange for something in your possession, your majesty.”

The hall suddenly fell quiet.
The merpeople were all stunned.

Gong Yuan was surprised too.
She frowned.
“Do you have any idea what you are saying? This is not a place where you can talk nonsense!”
