Shirahoshi naturally took Senga's hand and ran to her room.
Upon entering the room, Shirahoshi immediately locked the door, then returned to Senga and obediently coiled her pink fishtail, looking at Senga with anticipation.
Senga said nothing. He got up and went to Shirahoshi's luxurious bed, looking up at the photo that was almost as tall as himself.
The person in the photo is Queen Otohime, who is holding Shirahoshi and smiling brightly.
Shirahoshi leaned closer and asked curiously,
"Lord Senga, what are you looking at?"
When she followed Senga's gaze, a trace of sadness flashed across her eyes. She composed herself and murmured,
"Mother, if only you were still here..."
Senga, who had his back to her, suddenly turned around. His expression looked somewhat serious, and Shirahoshi straightened up nervously.
Senga gazed into Shirahoshi's eyes and asked,
"Shirahoshi, is this your wish?"
Shirahoshi was taken aback. She tentatively asked,
"Is Lord Senga referring to my mother?"
Senga nodded and said,
"Yes, I need to confirm again. Just answer truthfully, Shirahoshi. Do you want your mother to come back to you?"
Shirahoshi fought back her tears. She remembered that Senga didn't like her crying. Her voice trembled as she spoke.
"I've thought about it every single moment of these past years, but Mother is already..."
A smile appeared on Senga's face as he interrupted,
"Very good, I know your wish, and it's very simple!"
As soon as he finished speaking, while Shirahoshi was stunned, Senga's eyes shone with a dazzling seven-colored light, and a figure composed of light appeared in front of Shirahoshi.
With a pop, the light dissipated, and a female mermaid dressed in elegant palace attire appeared—it was Queen Otohime.
Queen Otohime looked bewildered. She looked down at her own body, then looked up at Shirahoshi, who had been shrunk by Senga.
She asked hesitantly,
"You... you're Shirahoshi?"
Even though Queen Otohime had been gone for ten years, her voice and smile were still so familiar and dear to Shirahoshi. Looking at her mother so close to her, she could no longer hold back her tears. She hugged Queen Otohime tightly and cried out...
"My dearest mother! I miss you so much!"
Queen Otohime was still somewhat bewildered, but seeing her daughter crying, she instinctively hugged Shirahoshi and said softly,
"Don't cry, don't cry, what made our Shirahoshi cry again?"
As she spoke, she gently cupped Shirahoshi's face in her hands and examined it closely. As she looked at her, she realized something was wrong.
"Huh? Shirahoshi, you look a lot more mature, but why have you shrunk in height?"
In Queen Otohime's memory, Shirahoshi was still a little child who was over five meters tall.
Shirahoshi rubbed her eyes hard, choking back tears.
"You've been gone for ten years, of course I've grown up. As for my height, that's all thanks to Lord Senga, including the resurrection of Mother!"
"Resurrection? Yes, I think I was already dead..."
Otohime finally remembered the fact that she had died, but the fact that she had been resurrected was too unbelievable, considering that she had been dead for ten years!
She asked Shirahoshi, who was in her arms.
"Shirahoshi, Lord Senga? Where is he?"
"Lord Senga is an incredibly powerful person, I can't really explain it, you should tell him yourself, he's right behind you!"
Upon hearing this, Otohime quickly released Shirahoshi. It would be extremely impolite to leave her savior standing there. She turned around abruptly and saw Senga standing there with her arms crossed.
With just one glance, she could tell that the human man in front of her was extraordinary. Otohime's Observation Haki was terrifying; her Observation Haki could even have an effect on people like that of Kotoamatsukami.
However, when she used her Observation Haki to sense Senga, she almost lost consciousness.
Senga's aura was far too sacred; it was something no human could possibly possess.
Queen Otohime's face was blank, and a thought flashed through her mind.
Is he a god?
Senga smiled and said softly,
"It's rare for you and your daughter to get together, won't you continue chatting? Don't worry about me for now."
Queen Otohime was still in a daze when Shirahoshi threw herself into Senga 'Senga arms, clutching his clothes tightly and sobbing.
"Lord Senga! This is the best birthday present I've ever received!"
Senga gently stroked Shirahoshi's long pink hair and whispered,
"I'm glad you like it, but you still cried. You promised you wouldn't cry."
"I'm so sorry, Lord Senga, I really couldn't help it!"
"Hehe, it's good that you're crying now. You must smile at the banquet later, because you're most beautiful when you're smiling."
Senga looked up at Otohime and said,
"I won't disturb you and your daughter any longer. I'll wait for you in the lobby."
Shirahoshi rubbed her head against Senga's chest, seemingly not wanting Senga to leave.
Senga patted her back helplessly and said,
"Alright, there's still plenty of time. Go on, your mother has a lot of questions for you."
After saying that, Senga smiled at Queen Otohime and disappeared from the room in a flash.
After Senga left, Queen Otohime slowly approached Shirahoshi. She wanted to pull Shirahoshi to the bed to talk, but found that the bed was too high for the two of them at that moment, and she couldn't get on even after jumping a few times.
Queen Otohime couldn't help but ask,
"Shirahoshi, how tall are you now?"
Shirahoshi thought for a moment and replied.
"I'm a little taller than Father, and I don't like being that tall. Luckily, I have Lord Senga to help me; he's omnipotent~"
Shirahoshi can talk about Chiga- Lord Senga all the time now. As her mother Otohime is well aware of her feelings, but she doesn't expose her. There are still some things she doesn't understand.
"Shirahoshi, just who is this Lord Senga?"
"Hehe, Mother, listen carefully! Lord Senga is now the King of the World!"
"King of the World? What kind of title is that? Is he Celestial Dragons? No, wait, that name doesn't sound like it..."
"Lord Senga is of course not Celestial Dragons. He wiped Celestial Dragons out long ago, and even the former Holy Land Mary Geoise, is gone!"
"What!?"
This shocking news completely stunned Queen Otohime. In just ten years, the Qing Dynasty—no, the Celestial Dragons— had perished?
Fearing that Queen Otohime wouldn't believe her, Shirahoshi struggled to climb onto the bed and pulled out a pile of newspapers from under her pillow. Each newspaper contained a picture of Senga. She pushed the newspapers off the bed and shouted, "Tianlai Novel Network!"
"Mother! You'll understand after reading this!"
