Chapter 1745: The Secret of the Salted Fish Miss

"Stop!"

Looking at the salted fish miss who had recovered on the spot after coming out from underground, and then ran away with her head down, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but reach out and forcibly pull her back as she wanted to jump into the sea.

"Where are you going?"

Home! I want to go home!

After bouncing a few times in the invisible fishing net and finding that she couldn't struggle, the mermaid miss, who had encountered the biggest Waterloo of her fish life, couldn't help but feel sad from her heart and burst into tears.

"Let go! You let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Woo wah!"

t^t

"..."

Crying already? Is her psychological endurance so poor?

Being struck by the reaction of the salted fish miss, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but tighten the invisible fishing net and complained speechlessly:

"How old are you, and you're still crying?"

"Woo wah... I'm only eight years old, why can't I cry?"

"???"

Eight years old?

Looking at the salted fish miss who was over 1.7 meters tall in human form and had a figure that could be described as curvy, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but question:

"Are you kidding me? Eight years old is like you?"

"If calculated by mermaid age, I will be eight next month!"

"..."

Okay, you win.

Looking at the salted fish miss who had completely broken the jar and started to throw away her integrity, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart and didn't want to bother with her for the time being.

And Queen Veronica on the side handed over her handkerchief and comforted her softly, then asked in a gentle voice:

"Wendy, what are you going to do now?"

"I... I don't know either..."

After her emotions stabilized slightly, the salted fish miss stole a glance at Hearing Li Ang, who had a straight face, then hid behind Veronica and said with a confused expression:

"I want to go home..."

"What about the assembly the day after tomorrow?"

Queen Veronica blinked and asked gently:

"You're not really planning to just walk away and not attend the Twelve Kingdoms Assembly the day after tomorrow, are you?"

"I..."

After listening to Veronica's question, the salted fish miss hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but steal another glance at Hearing Li Ang and muttered in a low voice:

"It's already like this, does it make any difference whether I attend the assembly or not?"

"Of course it makes a difference."

Through the interaction along the way, Queen Veronica, who had figured out the personality of this salted fish, smiled and reminded:

"Although Hearing Li Ang and I are indeed the same as you think, we are preparing to strive for the power to interfere in the situation of other kingdoms at the Twelve Kingdoms Assembly the day after tomorrow.

But what we want is not to turn you into puppets, but to stabilize the status quo among the Twelve Kingdoms, balance the resources everyone lacks, resolve disputes before some problems break out, try to avoid large-scale wars, and let everyone live a little better... Don't you believe it?"

"..."

You ask this... I just have a tender face and lack experience, and I am a bit reckless in doing things. Do you really think I'm stupid?

"Okay, let me put it another way."

Looking at the salted fish miss whose eyes were darting around and refused to make eye contact with her, Queen Veronica smiled and continued:

"Wendy, I don't deny that I do have ambition. I want to bring other kingdoms into my governance. Although I don't necessarily have to annex the territory of other kingdoms, at the very least, I must have enough influence so that the general political decrees of other kingdoms must be synchronized with mine."

Look, what did I say!

After listening to Veronica's confession, the salted fish miss couldn't help but blink, and a look of "as expected" appeared on her face.

Exchanging resources, resolving disputes, it's all just talk. Even if you really do this, while doing so, you are also directly seizing the highest power. How is that different from annexing other kingdoms?

And seeing through her thoughts from her expression, Veronica smiled indifferently, then took the salted fish miss's hand and said peacefully:

"But there is one thing I am very confident in, and that is that I have the ability to match my ambition.

In the past, I might not have dared to say this, but now, I am sure that I can take on the responsibilities brought by this identity. The people under my rule will definitely live more stably than in other kingdoms, and I will definitely do better than all of them!"

"..."

"You don't have to believe me now, you just need to wait."

After smiling at the salted fish miss who wanted to speak but stopped, Queen Veronica continued:

"Let's continue with the previous question. Why do I hope you stay and continue to attend the Twelve Kingdoms Assembly the day after tomorrow... Wendy, you actually don't want to be this queen, right?"

"?!!!"

"It seems that is indeed the case."

Feeling the hand of the salted fish miss suddenly tense up, Veronica smiled:

"Whether it's humans or mermaids, wanting to do something always requires a reason. And you are not proud of the identity of the queen, have no interest in the power brought by this identity, have a very indifferent concept of money and wealth, and have no much identification with the Qianfan Sea Kingdom, etc., etc.

Since I can't find the reason for you to succeed to the throne, I can only think that what you want is not the identity of the queen, but maintaining the identity of the Queen of Saiao, which can bring you some convenience, or something you urgently need, or some things that require the power of a king to do."

"Even, I can guess again. The person who really needs this throne is not you, but the Sea Clan behind you? Do they need to use the Qianfan Sea Kingdom to achieve certain goals?"

"?!!!!"

Guessed right.

After getting the answer from the salted fish miss's heart lake, Hearing Li Ang exchanged a glance with Veronica, who was the "main attacker," and initially solved the doubts in his heart.

From the moment the salted fish miss boarded the ship, she revealed a very "un-queen-like" temperament, didn't care about her identity as a queen, even exposed the problems of her own existence without hesitation, and frankly admitted that she might be resisted because of her mermaid identity, etc.

If taken out of context, it might not be obvious, but when compared to Veronica, the strange aura around Miss Salted Fish is truly intense. It piqued the curiosity of Hearing Li Ang and his companion, and they discussed the strange things about her quite often when they weren't busy with other matters.

And now... this secret seems to have finally reached the time to be revealed.

"I... the situation is indeed similar to what you guessed. I did take this position for some reasons."

Being watched by Hearing Li Ang and the other's burning gazes, the salted fish miss took a step back subconsciously, then gritted her teeth and said:

"But I can't say! Even if you..."

"Then we won't ask."

"??????"

"Why you took the throne is your business. What we care about is not this."

Smiling slightly at the stunned salted fish miss, Queen Veronica learned Hearing Li Ang's appearance, smiled and said:

"Remember to attend the assembly the day after tomorrow on time, and then stand with us. Otherwise... you don't want to lose your position as Queen of Saiao because your identity as a mermaid is exposed, right?"
