Chapter 2436: So Wild?
But it was true that the Mermaid Queen couldn’t sit still as a conflict broke out between Zu An and the Ocean races’ experts, so she stepped forward to stop him and attempted to defuse the situation.
“The Dragon Kings do not mean that, though there is indeed something weird about this incident. How could the North Sea Dragon King’s subordinates witness the Peacock Princess murdering the North Sea Crown Prince when she was with us last night?”
The Ocean races’ experts nodded. As expected of our queen. Her heart is still with us!
Even the North Sea Dragon King had to concede, as her words were well-spoken.
“How am I supposed to know? All I know is that she didn’t have time to pull off the murder. She merely stumbled upon the experts pursuing the murderer while taking her leave, which resulted in this misunderstanding.” Zu An harrumphed.
He was amazed by how sharp-witted the Mermaid Queen was. She knew the right things to say even though they hadn’t rehearsed it at all.
Seeing Zu An’s adoring eyes and feeling his strong hands wrapped around her waist, the Peacock Princess stiffened up. She was still young, and this was her first time being so intimate with a man. However, she quickly realized her reaction was unlike that of a lover. She quickly made a mental note to play the part properly, and her body slowly loosened up till she was resting in his arms.
Zu An was amazed by her acting talent.
The Mermaid Queen eyed the two of them before slowly adding, “Have you forgotten about the Incestuous King? He harbors hatred toward us for what happened before, and he’s worried that his defeat might lead to us allying with the Fiend races, so he came up with a ploy. I suspect he disguised himself as the Peacock Princess to drive a wedge between us. Based on what I have heard, this isn’t the only incident that happened today.”
