Dongbo Cheng Zhi's Secret Sword Art Manuscript

The Blackscale Queen was completely naked, except for two pearl-strung shell bras partially covering her ample chest. Pearl- and gemstone-woven necklaces and bracelets adorned her neck and wrists, lending her a wild, primal beauty.

She ordered her subordinates to blow conch shells while repeatedly waving for the Black Mermen to flee.

But the Arrow Boat came too fast! Before it even reached shore, the Awakened leaped into the air one after another, each using their own methods to seize the juvenile Black Mermen fleeing in every direction.
