Chapter 2395: Taking Advantage of Her Difficulties
There were a few sparkling flakes around the corners of the Mermaid Queen’s eyes. They were the special scales of the Mermaid race. With the Mermaid Queen’s abilities, she could easily completely hide them, but she kept them visible. Under the Dragon Palace’s lighting, they were bright and glistening, releasing all sorts of bright colors no matter which angle one looked at her from and making her already perfect eyes seem even more stunning. The scales were like the stars in the sky, surrounding two beautiful, moon-like eyes.
This beautiful "eye makeup" had eben started a huge fashion trend. It was rumored that the noble ladies had also found some gemstones and jade to polish into thin slices to apply to their eyelids. At some point, the trend had even reached the human side. They all felt that it made them a bit prettier, and they received favorable remarks from both men and women.
But how could these imitations compare to the real deal that was the Mermaid Queen? No man could resist infatuation when they were looked at by such beautiful eyes.
The Dragon King was also that way. Fortunately, they were both from the Ocean races, so he at least had a bit of resistance. He secretly swallowed his saliva, then quickly said, “That’s right, the monsters sent an emissary to discuss the matter of an alliance.”
“Alliance?” The Mermaid Queen frowned slightly. “Dragon King, you doesn’t truly believe them, do you? The monsters have invaded in an attempt to take over our entire world, and it is only because of the Fiend races’ Yumen Beiqing that we became a force to be reckoned with again and forced them to continuously suffer defeats. They are worried that the Ocean races will help the Fiend races, which is why they are using the pretense of an alliance to keep us under control for now. If they completely defeat the resistance army, they will immediately come after our Ocean races!”
Her penetrating gaze and questioning tone left even the Dragon King a bit alarmed. He replied, “I already know everything you are saying, but the Fiend Emperor has already died, and even though the resistance army has won a few battles, everyone knows that they are just struggling at death’s door. Their destruction is merely a matter of time.”
The Mermaid Queen’s beautiful brows furrowed even deeper. “I beg to disagree. Yumen Beiqing sent the Peacock Princess to seek an alliance with us. Our Ocean races are still quite powerful, and I heard that she is also trying to contact the Demon race, the human race, and even the forces of other groups. If we work together, we might not be chased out by these foreign monsters.”
Now that they were talking about important matters, the Dragon King gradually recovered his usual dignified appearance. “The Demon race is one thing, but the humans are so weak. What use is there in allying with them? I’ve gathered some intelligent subordinates to analyze the pros and cons. The risks involved in resisting the alien monsters are just too great. After all, the Lord of Slaughter hasn’t even gotten involved in recent years. If he makes an appearance, no matter how skilled Yumen Beiqing is or how many forces we gather, the only result awaiting us will be death.”
The Mermaid Queen said seriously, “The Lord of Slaughter has already been missing for many years. I think it isn’t that he doesn’t want to make an appearance, but rather that something has happened to him that prevents him from participating.”
