Chapter 1570: It Was Time to Break Apart From Him!
"Sister?" Lan Yaoguang was calling for her again.
Gu Xijiu inhaled a breath of air, looked up and said, "Lan Yaoguang, let me say it one more time. I am not your sister, at least not in my memory. Maybe I was once Lan Jingke, but not now; and I will only regard myself as who I am now!"
Despite having part of Lan Jingke’s memories, Gu Xijiu always felt that there was something wrong with it. It felt like it did not belong to her, like a foreign object that was forced into her. Looking at stories of Lan Jingke was similar to looking at a confusing film that only had to do with someone else.
Furthermore, she did not want to be Lan Jingke, even though she was due to become the Empress of the mermaids. She was Gu Xijiu, not anyone else!
Lan Yaoguang remained silent for a moment. He inhaled a shallow breath of air and smiled at her. "Lan Jingke is the Empress of the mermaids. If you agree to be her, you will be our ruler. I will immediately pass that accolade to you. You probably have no idea how powerful this position is... You will be the most distinguished being among the entire sea tribe, which is almost at par with the dragon tribe. A commander with half of the sea tribe would have an authority higher than any Lord on land. Once you are the Empress of the mermaids, you would only be ranked below one person, and above everyone else."
Gu Xijiu had memories of Lan Jingke and was naturally aware of that. The mermaid tribe was an exotic existence. They did not like battling at first and only had average power. They chose to isolate themselves in safety but got bullied by many of the sea tribes.
However, since the existence of Lan Jingke and the support of Huang Tu, the mermaid tribe gradually became stronger. When Lan Jingke died, the mermaid tribe had already been able to rival the strongest tribe among the sea tribes- the dragon tribe. Hence, they became the second largest tribe of the sea.
Although Lan Yaoguang had been the ruler of the mermaids all of these years, the actual person in control had been Huang Tu. The mermaid tribe had grown bigger now, exceeding the dragon tribe in population and was slowly becoming the most influential tribe among the sea tribes.
