The tears shed by the Mermaid Princess as she cried were all given to Xia Chuanyue by the King when he saw her interest. He wanted to cozy up to Tianmiao too, but didn’t dare... so he took a different path and cozied up to the others.
Next, according to the previous agreement, they could borrow the Eye of the Storm from the Mermaid Clan for training.
"Tianmiao, may I ask how you managed to make Princess Xi Ya wake up?" Xia Chuanyue asked the question everyone wanted to ask.
"I merely let her see beforehand the things that will happen later." Tianmiao said calmly.
These words left everyone stunned. Then, upon contemplation, it’s terrifying to think about what Buren ultimately did to drive Xi Ya to such madness and hatred?
"Don’t think about these things anymore, Xia Chuanyue, get stronger." Tianmiao gently patted Xia Chuanyue’s shoulder, encouraging her.
"Yes, thank you Tianmiao, thank you for securing this opportunity for us." Xia Chuanyue expressed heartfelt gratitude.
"You’re mistaken, remove ’us’." Tianmiao laughed, "I’ll be waiting in Ocean City for you to come out, and we’ll go eat, drink, and shop together."
Xia Chuanyue was puzzled, remove ’us’?
Was it really just an opportunity for her alone?
Why was he so good to her?
Seeing the smile on Tianmiao’s face, Xia Chuanyue also smiled.
No matter the reason, as long as she knew that Tianmiao genuinely cared for her, that was all that mattered.
"Yes, I’ll see you when I come out!" Xia Chuanyue nodded vigorously, smiling broadly.
...
Camille, Xia Chuanyue, and Dean entered the Eye of the Storm.
Tianmiao turned around and met Bart’s eager gaze.
"What do you want to ask?" Tianmiao asked casually as he walked.
Bart followed closely, his tone exceptionally respectful: "I, I just wanted to ask, who exactly are you?"
"Is it important for you to know who I am?" Tianmiao glanced at Bart, "You just need to know that I mean no harm to this land."
"Certainly, certainly, if you meant harm, you could wipe out this land with a wave of your hand." Bart followed fawningly and asked flatteringly, "So what’s your next move? Is there anything you need me to assist with?"
"Oh..." Tianmiao thought for a moment and replied, "Go tell the King and them to give me a third of the treasures in their treasury. Oh, no need to tell the King, just inform Xi Ya."
Bart blinked in surprise and nodded: "Yes, I’ll go find the Princess right away."
To Bart’s astonishment, Princess Xi Ya handed over eighty percent of the treasury’s treasures to him, saying it was Tianmiao’s reward.
Tianmiao received them calmly; the Mermaid Clan’s treasures were indeed quite special. He planned to take them back to the Heavenly Dao Office as gifts for friends and as items to exchange with some employees for good things.
Tianmiao waited patiently for Xia Chuanyue and the others to complete their training.
Because she thought wandering around Ocean City alone was boring, she decided to wait for Xia Chuanyue. With Xia Chuanyue, the bargaining queen, by her side, shopping would be much more fun. Xia Chuanyue’s bargaining skills were fierce and wild, making the experience very enjoyable.
During the time Tianmiao waited for Xia Chuanyue’s training to be completed, he stayed in the Imperial Palace, indulging in food and drink without any tasks. The Mermaid Clan’s food was really peculiar; some dishes were delicious, while others were bizarre.
Yesterday’s grilled fish was particularly tasty, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, combined with the fragrance of a plant.
Today’s dish was quite bizarre.
A huge bowl with half a bowl of water, inside it a tiny school of fish stood upright, constantly gulping with open mouths. Were they meant to be eaten raw? Feeling the sensation of them bouncing in the mouth?
Watching this made Tianmiao’s skin crawl.
