Chapter 2438: Legend of the Saintess
Zu An was aghast. Did I unknowingly reveal something unintended? But he couldn’t find any issues when he reviewed what he’d said so far.
The Mermaid Queen noticed his expression and explained with a forced smile, “It’s not that tough to guess. If you were from a world unrelated to ours, you wouldn’t have been vigilant enough to avoid me as if I was a venomous scorpion.”
Zu An felt awkward hearing her description. Am I that obvious?
The Peacock Princess stared at Zu An.
It’s as I deduced. The Mermaid Queen has been actively courting him, but he keeps avoiding her. I wonder how the men of the world will react if they learn that the lofty goddess they’ve been courting was herself courting another man, but failed.
The concept of spacetime was too abstract to someone as young as her. She was more interested in gossip.
The Mermaid Queen continued, “Since it’s related to our world, it must be either the past or the future. If it were the past…”
She eyed Zu An from head to toe. “You may have hidden your identity and appearance, but I can tell you aren’t from our Mermaid race or any of the Ocean races, so you should have no reason to avoid me. I’ve also never heard about an expert of your caliber in all of history. So, all that’s left is the future. You must be worried about time paradoxes, likely because you’re related to one of my descendants.”
Her face slowly turned pale as she secretly prayed for that to not be the case.
