Chapter 1756: Table of Former Allies and Table of Former Girlfriends

Time flies like an arrow, days and months like a shuttle; a day and a night passed quickly.

During this day and night, ship after ship flying the royal flags of various kingdoms arrived one after another at the capital of the Mo Erna Kingdom, delivering the royal families and all relevant attendees of the assembly.

And when the sun set and rose again, the ships of the Sai Ao Kingdom, which had departed the latest, finally managed to dock at the port of Jin Xian Gang just before the sky turned fully bright.

Keep it up, Wendy!

Watching her daughter, who had changed into a sea-blue gauze dress and was leaving surrounded by dozens of Sai Ao Kingdom officials, the beautiful mermaid lady in the clam-shell boat couldn't help but clench her palms, her gaze filled with guilt and thick, deep anticipation.

Mom doesn't want to press such a heavy burden on you either, but you are already the person most likely to complete it... Daughter, the future fate of our Sea Clan might just be in your hands!

Also, you must be careful of the Food God!

According to the experience I, your old mom, have accumulated over many years, there are only two types of men in this world: one is the man who is lecherous but refuses to admit it, and the other is the man who is already impotent.

So when you use the 【Hill of Enchantment】 to seduce that Queen Weiluonika, remember to stay away from the Food God; otherwise... Mom will have no choice but to accept him as a cheap son-in-law.

Hmm... or perhaps you could just seduce him directly?

After all, if you really perform beyond expectations and snatch the Food God directly from the hands of the Queen of Lvzhou, then the problems our Sea Clan faces can also be solved. Anyway, your goal is to save the Sea Clan; this... as long as the final result is correct, changing the process a little doesn't seem to matter, right?

……

Finally arrived...

Not knowing the incredibly complex thoughts in the mermaid lady's heart, the Salted Fish Young Lady, bringing the travel-worn Sai Ao Kingdom officials, arrived at the location of the Twelve Kingdoms assembly. Looking at the magnificent golden hall before her, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, then gathered her courage and stepped inside.

Swish!

As if specifically "welcoming" her arrival, the moment the Salted Fish Young Lady crossed the gate, the sun happened to break through the morning mist on the shore.

A large amount of bright golden sunlight spilled down through the dome's stained-glass windows. The golden-red light bands projected from both sides illuminated a golden-red path on the marble floor in front of the Salted Fish Young Lady, leading straight to the equilateral triangular conference table in the center of the hall.

"Your Majesty Wendy."

Just as the Salted Fish Young Lady squinted her eyes from the sunlight and subconsciously reached out to block it, two female officials who had been prepared long ago had already come up to meet her, speaking in a respectful and cautious manner to remind her:

"Because there are quite a large number of attendees this time, after Her Majesty Liena sought the opinions of several kings, it was temporarily decided that only the kings of the Twelve Kingdoms and one accompanying person personally selected by the majesties may go to the main conference table in the center of the hall to be seated.

As for secretaries, officials, personal attendants, and other accompanying personnel, they should be guided by us to be seated in the circular listening gallery at the front of the hall... May I ask if you have an accompanying person you wish to take to the main conference table?"

Only allowed to take one person to the main conference table?

This change might only be a bit troublesome for other kings, but because I only managed to successfully ascend to the throne after the three great noble families fought over it, bringing anyone to the main conference table would cause a whole lot of trouble! This newly added temporary regulation is simply deliberately...

Hmm... it doesn't seem like it's just "simply"...

Facing the strange behavior of the two female officials—seemingly reminding her but actually obstructing her—the Salted Fish Young Lady pondered for a moment, then, as if remembering something, hurriedly raised her head and looked toward the direction of the main conference table.

Sure enough, the "allies" who were still sitting at the same table with her the day before yesterday, discussing how to resist the Food God, were now sitting in a row on one side of the triangular conference table, glaring at her with rage.

Even the Queen of Zheguang, with whom she had a fairly good relationship, had a hint of blame in those round owl eyes, as if complaining why she had betrayed them and chosen to lean toward the evil Food God.

Wuwu, I don't want to betray you either... but the problem is I have to have a choice!

Recalling her unlucky experiences over the past two days—as if she had stepped in fish poop—the Salted Fish Young Lady couldn't help but close her eyes in extreme pain, then turned her head to avoid the angry gazes of her former allies.

And among the "accompanying personnel" behind the Salted Fish Young Lady, a quite intense argument naturally broke out, as they tore into each other on the spot over who would be that sole "accompanying person."

Although this kind of petty trick was useless and couldn't cause any actual damage to the meeting results, it was enough to successfully frustrate the Salted Fish Young Lady's personal prestige and make her feel uncomfortable for quite a while.

However, just as the Salted Fish Young Lady stood awkwardly by the door, silently enduring the gloating gazes of her former allies, a small hand suddenly reached out from the side and poked the back of her tightly clenched hand.

"?"

"You've arrived so late."

After tidying up his little formal suit, William, who had been waiting at the door for quite a while, raised his head and said with a serious face:

"Sister-in-law said her quota has to be used by Big Brother, and it's not convenient to take me along to listen in, so she told me to come here and wait at the door first, saying you would definitely be given a hard time, and as long as you choose to take me along, you can successfully help yourself out of the predicament, and I can also get the quota for the main table... Let's go!"

"???"

"Whose child is this?"

Perhaps because the sound of the argument was too loud and they hadn't heard the exchange between William and the Salted Fish Young Lady, seeing William suddenly pop his head out from the side and pull the Salted Fish Young Lady to leave, the three Sai Ao nobles who were arguing couldn't help themselves anymore.

A rough man with an eye patch on his face and his left hand replaced by an iron hook—looking quite consistent with the stereotype of a "pirate"—couldn't help but block the Salted Fish Young Lady with his iron hook, then impatiently shooed them away:

"This is the venue for the Twelve Kingdoms assembly, not a place for you to pee and play in the mud! Hurry up and get me..."

"Don't mess around."

Looking at the iron hook that had blocked her path and almost hooked William's collar, the Salted Fish Young Lady's brows couldn't help but furrow. She pushed the iron hook away from William and then kindly reminded them:

"This child's surname is Laien."

"So what?"

Not knowing if it was his pirate style acting up or if he was just heated from arguing with the other two, the rough man glared with his single eye and didn't hesitate to threaten:

"Don't say his surname is Laien, even if he had the same surname as the Food God... Laien? Which Laien?"

"The one you're talking about, obviously. Who else could it be here?"

"?!?!"

Holy crap!!!

After hearing the Salted Fish Young Lady's words, the pirate man couldn't help but tremble all over, then, as if he had touched a red-hot branding iron, he retracted his iron-hook hand with a start and took several steps back.

Seeing the three black faces in front of her turn pale all at once after learning which "Laien" it was, the Salted Fish Young Lady couldn't help but feel a sudden surge of secret pleasure in her heart.

Although she had been scared to death before, now that the positions were reversed, the feeling of using the Food God's name to bluff people was really... hiss~~~

"He... even if he is a relative of that Food God, he can't take our seats, right?"

Perhaps stimulated by the Salted Fish Young Lady's look of "a bunch of losers," the youngest of the three great nobles couldn't help but take a deep breath and argue on grounds of reason:

"That accompanying position belongs to our Sai Ao Kingdom. He, the Food God, is just a Prince of the Blood of Lvzhou; how can he interfere in our internal..."

"Are you guys stupid?"

"?" x3

In the somewhat bewildered gazes of the three great nobles, William, who had been listening from the side, suddenly turned his head back and explained with a serious face:

"Before coming here, my sister-in-law told me that whoever wants to fight me for this accompanying position must have a very serious brain problem."

"You?!"

"You must face your illness squarely; you cannot avoid the doctor out of fear of the illness."

Facing the three great nobles with anger on their faces, William's dark brows arched slightly like Li Ang's. Then, with his hands behind his back, he said with a calm face:

"My sister-in-law said to let me write down the names of everyone who wants to fight for the position, and she will let my big brother come over to have a 'good talk' with them to help them deal with the brains they aren't using, so they don't rot and flow out of their noses.

So what are your names? Can you say them with both first and last names? Oh right, if the names are too long, it's best to write a note; otherwise, if I mix up the names and my big brother slaughters the wrong person, it won't be good."

"?!!!!"

No... didn't you just say "have a talk"? How did it turn into slaughtering people before the words even landed? At least pretend to be thorough!

Looking at William, who raised that exquisite little face and seriously examined them with two dark, round eyeballs as if he wanted to firmly remember their faces, the backs of the three great nobles couldn't help but turn cold, as if something icy had suddenly crawled up their spines.

Although this sounded like... it sounded like intimidation! But his surname is Laien.

Although the Food God might not necessarily have this attitude, this child is the Food God's own younger brother.

Although normal people wouldn't take action over such a small matter, this child's brother is not normal!

Hmph! Even worse than Meilanni! And you want to fight me for the listening position?

Watching the three pirates who were glaring at him just a moment ago, looking as if they would eat a child if he didn't get lost, now looking terrified, William the younger brother couldn't help but curl his lips. Then, he tugged on the Salted Fish Young Lady's sleeve and walked toward the main conference table with his two short legs.

And the Salted Fish Young Lady, who had been thoroughly satisfied, gave the three great nobles a look of contempt, then followed the pulling force toward the main conference table... while incidentally patting William's little head.

"Well done!"

After William pulled away with some dissatisfaction, the Salted Fish Young Lady gave him a thumbs-up and praised him with a joyful face:

"You did a big favor for your sister! After the meeting, sister will buy you candy! Haha, those three bastards were fooled by you!"

"I didn't fool them."

"???"

"Sister-in-law said those three people are all on Big Brother's liquidation list. Even if they didn't fight me for the position today, the final result wouldn't be any different; Big Brother would find them to have a 'talk'."

"Ah?!?!?!"

"Plundering, kidnapping, smuggling, abuse, murder... there are other crimes that are quite bloody, and Sister-in-law wouldn't let me look, but Big Brother said those three are all top-tier crimes against humanity. After the assembly ends, they'll be sent down immediately; their positions are just right for me to use."

"..."

That... doesn't seem to have any problems?

Recalling some things she knew, the Salted Fish Young Lady couldn't help but nod in agreement. However, just as she wanted to ask more, she had already been dragged by William to the side of the main conference table, arriving at the position opposite the "former allies."

Another one came.

Watching the Salted Fish Young Lady, who had been pulled over by someone's younger brother and sat down on the right side of the long table, the queens sitting on this side of the triangular long table couldn't help but click their tongues in their hearts, then curled their lips in unison.

And among them, a certain Queen of the North from the Aquarius Branch, as well as the Cat Witch Queen holding the Witch King's Scepter, stared at the glowing 【Hill of Enchantment】 on the Salted Fish Young Lady's chest, their eyes revealing quite disdainful expressions.

It's one thing to be blind and take a fancy to that someone, but to specifically equip an anomalous object that enhances seduction effects and actively seduce him when that someone is already married... even I haven't done that, okay?

Hmph! Identified as a bitch!

(￣_，￣)x2

(e｀*)??

The Salted Fish Young Lady's IQ was barely online most of the time, so naturally, she couldn't help but feel the strange atmosphere around her, and... that strange sour smell!

Oh no! Could it be because I was brought over by the Food God's younger brother, causing these queens who "have a thing" with him to misunderstand?

After simply analyzing the situation around her, the Salted Fish Young Lady, who had accidentally become the target of public criticism, couldn't help but tighten her body slightly. Then, she hurriedly looked around and asked with pointed intent:

"Where is Her Majesty Weiluonika? Why hasn't she arrived yet?"

"She was the first to arrive, with Li Ang."

And the situation was indeed as the Salted Fish Young Lady had thought; upon hearing this name that attracted more "hatred" than her own, the attention of the queens was finally diverted.

Not suspecting whether the mermaid lady was trying to shift the blame, the Queen of the North, whose chest was still as vast as a glacier, glanced at her sideways. Seeing that everyone had been blind before, she patiently continued to answer:

"But later, His Excellency Scorpio and His Excellency Cancer arrived. When Li Ang went out to welcome them, he specifically took her along, probably because there was something to say."

"Ah?"

After hearing the Queen of the North's answer, the mermaid lady couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand, revealing a look of surprise. Then, while desperately apologizing to Weiluonika in her heart and swearing that she would only use her as a shield once, she blinked her eyes and asked suspiciously:

"Did he only take her alone?"

"Otherwise?"

Although she saw through the Salted Fish Young Lady's intention to shift the fire at a glance, after hearing her question, the Cat Witch Queen still couldn't help but curl her lips:

"He is the Prince of the Blood of Lvzhou; if he doesn't take her, who would he take?"

"That's true..."

Seeing that the sense of exclusion of "attacking in a group" toward her had finally dissipated, the Salted Fish Young Lady couldn't help but let out a long breath. Then, holding the thought of uniting her allies, she tried hard to puff up her glowing 【Hill of Enchantment】 and took the initiative to introduce herself:

"I am Wendy, Wendy Paierluote, the current Queen of the Sai Ao Kingdom, everyone..."

"I don't think there's any need for self-introduction, right?"

After smiling at the Salted Fish Young Lady, the snow-haired "Queen" of East Kalaiven pulled down her sleeves, blocking the Ophiuchus mark on the back of her hand, and then said with a smile:

"Since we are already sitting at this table... then our situations should be about the same, right?"
