Simple Mermaid Clan

Zhou Qing didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the gifts, then distributed them to Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina.

The moment Water Repelling Bead, they actively absorbed the Soul Power within their bodies, forming an invisible light membrane on their skin that allowed them to breathe freely.

Moreover, the consumption is minimal. For example, Zhou Qing's Soul Power at the Soul Grandmaster level is enough for him to use this Water Repelling Bead for nearly three months!

"Thank you for the gift, Little Mermaid!"

Human Dao.

But Heidel, who had just woken up, could only watch helplessly.

"You are welcome."

The Sea Princess smiled slightly, glanced at Ariel with a hint of pride, and earnestly advised, "Good sister, you must not call the Lord Sea God by his name in the future, lest you be Divine Punishment."

"For the past 20,000 years, I've cursed Poseidon every day, but he hasn't come looking for trouble," Ariel chuckled. "Besides, I've been spreading the false stories of the Sea God along the coast."

Immediately, the Sea Princess's expression darkened, but considering Ariel's identity and the fact that Zhou Qing, who had been given the Star of the Ocean by the Will of the Ocean, was acquainted with her, she suppressed her anger and squeezed out a line of words through gritted teeth. "The Sea God is great."

"Cut!"

Ariel scoffed, "Great my foot! Isn't it still the same old dog-eat-dog world? If this world didn't forbid Soul Beast from becoming gods, would he have gotten the position of Sea God?"

"In the past, I could still convince myself that your immediate submission after your father was killed by Poseidon was to protect the entire Mermaid Clan."

"But now I understand, that was just your later explanation— Poseidon absolutely cannot exterminate the Mermaid Clan if he wants to gather faith and achieve Divine Throne, otherwise he will not gain the faith of all the Sea Soul Beast. They will only fear him, revere him, and resent him, but they will never be able to wholeheartedly believe in him!"

"Through my interactions with humans, I've come to understand one thing: Fear Might, Not Virtue will not lead to the acquisition of the Power of Faith!"

"You just crave power! You're afraid that Father will pass the throne to me in the future!"

The Sea Princess was also furious. "Nonsense!"

"Hehe!"

Ariel laughed. "If I'm talking nonsense, then ask the mermaids here—no, those over twenty thousand years old—how did you acquire your Golden Bloodline? You were merely a servant to Poseidon, at his beck and call. In the end, he successfully broke through to Level 100 and became a god, but he himself couldn't contend with the entire Great Sea. Therefore, he could only extract my innate Bloodline Power and inject it into your body—"

"And you? You call it a gift from heaven! Otherwise, why don't you say it was a gift from the Great Sea?"

The Sea Princess's two daughters were dumbfounded.

They were born in the last 10,000 to 20,000 years. No one knows what happened 20,000 years ago. With the Golden Bloodline of the Sea Princess, their cultivation speed far exceeds that of ordinary mermaids, and they have already reached the level of nearly Hundred-Thousand-Year.

But now!

Their aunt actually said that their mother's Golden Bloodline was not a gift from heaven, but rather a result of the Sea God's "transferring" of her.

They refused to believe it!

They couldn't believe it!

They absolutely refused to believe it!

However, among the surrounding mermaids, those over thirty thousand years old remained silent.

Silence is the most silent yet powerful proof!

"Mom! This can't be real! Right? We are the children of the Sea God! We possess Golden Bloodline, a gift from heaven, not something we stole from her!"

Ariel Sea Princess's youngest daughter swam to her side, wanting her mother to speak and explain that everything Sea Princess had said was a lie!

The Sea Princess gritted her teeth and stared intently at Ariel.

She couldn't understand why, after only 20,000 years, Ariel's words had become so aggressive. 20,000 years ago, Ariel would at most call her a stupid fish! But 20,000 years later, she felt like she couldn't even keep up with Ariel's train of thought!

[Really!]

Too much contact with humans causes one to lose their innocence and become as cunning as humans!

The Sea Princess had this idea.

Then, she cheered up again.

After all, the more human-like Ariel is, the further she is from the Great Sea, and one day she will become a stranger to the Great Sea.

At that time—

Even if she were to lay a hand on Ariel again, the Will of the Ocean would not be disgusted by her!

The Sea Princess's silence was tantamount to admitting that everything Ariel said was true.

The Golden Bloodline is not a gift from heaven, but a product of plunder!

Their mother was not born Sea Princess; in fact, after their grandfather, whom they had never met, died, she submitted to the murderer and helped him become a god!

From childhood, they were taught to believe in the Sea God, but it turned out to be a hypocrite...

In an instant!

Their values have collapsed!

The mermaids around them, all under 20,000 years old, were also shocked, and some were even at a loss.

Ariel was also a little surprised by this scene, but she quickly understood:

Mermaid Clan possess strong Spiritual Power, but this does not mean their minds are strong. Moreover, their thoughts are simpler. Their unchanging way of life for tens of thousands of years means that once they encounter new things or principles, and once these are proven to be true, their minds will be shaken.

Compared to other mermaids, the Sea Princess, who can barely keep her emotions hidden, is already considered to be extremely shrewd!

Certainly!

If you put them in human terms, they'd be the type who gets sold out and then helps count the money!

"I feel like the Mermaid Clan a bit stupid," Xiao Wu said softly.

"Yeah, it's about the same as when you first went to the Nuoding Academy," Zhou Qing replied.

"I agree."

Tang San agreed.

Xiao Wu gave a forced smile, determined to teach those two a lesson once she left the Mermaid Clan.

However, Zhou Qing had already figured out the situation of the Mermaid Clan. Although there were distinctions of status, it was much better than the hierarchy among humans.

And the current situation proves that ninety percent of what Ariel said before was true.

"Your Highness Sea Princess."

Seeing that Ariel and the Sea Princess were on the verge of conflict, Zhou Qing spoke up, first thanking the Sea Princess for the Water Repelling Bead, and then asking, "May I ask, is there something important that you have asked us to come to this Crystal Palace?"

Seeing that it was Zhou Qing who spoke, the Sea Princess did not intend to argue with Ariel anymore. She simply comforted her two daughters, telling them not to take Ariel's words to heart, "The Sea God is great! It is because of the existence of the Sea God that we are able to stay away from strife and live peacefully under this Ice Sea."

After finally calming the two mermaid princesses down, the Sea Princess said to Zhou Qing, "The reason I asked you to come down is that our Mermaid Clan is extremely sensitive to fluctuations in Spiritual Power. I sensed that the mental space of the Rubik's Cube Octopus Clan, who have abandoned their faith in the Sea God, is experiencing some tremors..."

Rubik's Cube Octopus?

Zhou Qing immediately realized that the Sea Princess was after Romantina.

Ariel?

Just as the Sea Princess herself said, it was an unexpected and delightful gain.

"So that's how it is!" Zhou Qing suddenly realized. "Although we really want to help, none of us have the Martial Soul of the Rubik's Cube Octopus, or even an Octopus."

Heidel, who was not far away, opened his mouth in astonishment.

Although his Martial Soul is not the Rubik's Cube Octopus, it is a mutated octopus!
