Following behind Andy, Lia initially wanted to teach the leopard a lesson, but Andy struck first.

Fortunately, he was able to give Bai Ze.

Bai Ze said that this person often tripped him up, and since Bai Ze's family was not as strong as the Leopard family in the Central Star, he could only swallow his anger for the time being. Quinn suggested to Bai Ze that if he was unhappy, he should fight back.

Despite his many concerns, Bai Ze ultimately held back, because his family received limited protection and couldn't oversee every beastman. If the leopards suddenly attacked them, they would be finished.

Lia sighed softly. Bai Ze was such a good but not good deputy. He was so unwilling to trouble his superior. He was just too sensible!

After walking for a long time, Lia realized that she was not heading to the reception room, but rather in a mysterious direction.

His animalistic instincts told him that the tall, handsome man in front of him meant him no harm at this moment.

His professionalism was so strong that it made Lia feel restrained.

"Arrive."

What comes into view is an enormous light blue crystal fish tank.

Then it dawned on Lia! Their Emperor was an incomparably noble mermaid! Could he, a nobody little hamster from a marginal planet, possibly possibly have met him?

He's incredibly audacious!

Indeed, the Beastman Empire cherishes beautiful mermaids like precious treasures.

Lia swallowed hard, ultimately wanting to see a real mermaid's tail.

However, Lia almost got her clothes soaked by a huge white splash of water.

He appeared on the other side with an unparalleled speed, his figure blurred to the extreme.

Therefore, only Andy suffered.

Andy's prized hairstyle was completely soaked, but fortunately, the hair wax was waterproof, and the hairstyle remained firmly in place.

Seeing this scene, Lia almost burst out laughing.

Andy smiled slightly; his Spiritual Power wasn't yet capable of separating wet and dry substances.

Suddenly, a beautiful mermaid appeared in the water, completely oblivious to the prank she had just played, and lazily lay on the edge of the fish tank.

Lia looked up; the fish tank was at least four meters high, so he could only look up at it.

A sky-blue, shimmering, and perfectly formed fishtail swayed in the water—beautiful, he loved it! Quinn, I'm so sorry, sob sob! One minute of wall-climbing...!

Quinn, far away in his research lab at the Academy of Sciences, suddenly sneezed, unaware that his wife was admiring another man.

ˉ

"Is it pretty, my darling Lia?" His Majesty's lazy voice was very pleasant.

Lia blushed, and said shyly yet boldly, "Uncle is the most beautiful mermaid I've ever seen!"

Receiving a sincere and open look from Lia Ris even happier. He splashed water from his fishtail, which kept landing on Andy.

Andy: "..."

At first, Lia felt a little sorry for Andy, but then she thought, this is His Majesty's gift!

The star-chasing mouse stared at the cheerful Emperor with shining eyes, sensing the subtle jealousy rising in the air. Feeling uneasy, he reluctantly looked away from the fishtail and said, "Uncle, the pills I've developed are ready. Come down and try them."

Upon hearing this, Ris stopped being mischievous and jumped into the fish tank. This time, Andy caught her steadily in his arms and quickly wrapped a towel around the mermaid's upper body.

Lia understood again!

He's not just here to conduct experiments, he's also here to ship couples!

He tactfully said, "I'll wait for you in the small conference room outside."

Andy's smile returned, "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Luo."

So, half an hour later, Lia saw His Majesty looking refreshed again.

His Majesty's first words were, "My dear Lia, aren't you walking too fast? I just saw you teleport. You disappeared in an instant and then suddenly reappeared on my right."

Lia scratched her head and said with a simple, honest look, "My stepmother's family are full of wolves, so to survive, you have to run fast."

In fact, while there were bad guys among the werewolf brothers in the stepmother's family, there were also good guys. On several occasions at family gatherings, one of the brothers complained that he was walking too slowly and even lay down to carry him across.

However, the kind-hearted older brother died in an accident after a mission at the academy not long afterward, and his body was never brought back.

Lia's eyes suddenly dimmed for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure and took out a medicine bottle. "Your Majesty, the poison you have been afflicted with is a type of toxin that is not even common on Ancient Blue Star. It is a chronic neurotoxin. This bottle contains antidote pills, specifically for clearing away residual toxins. Try it for a week and see if it has any effect."

After taking it...

Before Lia could finish speaking, Ris took the bottle and uncorked it. "This pill smells quite nice."

He immediately took a pill. Andy, unaware of the danger of the drug, felt his heart tighten suddenly, but it was too late to stop him.

"Your Majesty, you are being too reckless! Even if you fully trust Mr. Luo, you should still test for toxicity first!"

Andy's gentle exterior was ripped off in an instant.

Lia herself tried it; it won't kill her, and it seems to expel impurities from her body.

He could only say that Andy's concerns were perfectly normal and reasonable, and he was about to ask about the reactions after taking the medication.

Meanwhile, Ris saw that there was no anger on Lia's face, but rather she remained very calm. Andy's words made even the usually cautious Emperor feel embarrassed, and he patted Andy on the shoulder.

" Andy, sit down."

Ris seemed not to hear her and continued to smile at Lia, "Thank you for your hard work, Lia, my darling. I've heard Quinn complaining to me lately that I'm wasting your time."

Lia said shyly, "Uncle, it's no trouble at all. I know that because of you, no one else has interfered with Quinn's marriage. I'm really grateful for that."

Ris had never expected the little orc in front of him to be so direct.

Most of the small orcs he had met were timid and submissive, but every time he met Lia, she not only didn't tremble with fear, but also spoke fluently. He was once again impressed by Lia and greatly admired her.

Suddenly, Ris felt as if a torrent was washing over his body, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood onto the white coffee table.

The blood on the table instantly turned black and began to smoke.

The people inside paused, and Andy, who was usually calm, became agitated again.

His Spiritual Power was about to reach Lia, but unfortunately, the golden python mark on Lia's back lit up instantly.

The pale gold companion's Spiritual Power barrier was passively activated. Andy's Spiritual Power attack not only failed, but he was also thrown back and crashed into the wall.

"Thumping!"

Lia wiped her nose and immediately explained the reason to His Majesty.

His Majesty, who had just vomited blood, with traces of blood still at the corner of his mouth, suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, "Hahahaha... This is the first time I've seen Andy in such a terrible state! I'm so sorry, my darling Lia, hahahaha! Also, I really feel much better! Just now! Thank you so much, Lia!"

Andy, who had been thrown back, knelt on the ground, supporting himself with one arm on the floor, clutching his stomach and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Lia was a little embarrassed; it was all his fault for being so foolish, causing these two big shots to both cough up blood.

But why does it feel kind of good?

No wonder Quinn agreed to let him out; the Spiritual Power barrier of a single partner was enough to knock a 2S away.

That's incredible!

As expected of his Quinn!
