Shui Ningrou is the empress of the mermaid tribe, and the imperial power cannot be offended. In anger, she even wanted to remove Shui Changhui from the position of elder. This seemed like Shui Ningrou was standing up for Xiaoyu to scare everyone, but in fact it was just Shui Ningrou.
Ningrou took the opportunity to use Xiaoyu's incident to give a warning to the group of elders of the fish clan.
The elders of the mermaid clan understand the superiority and inferiority. This mermaid clan is respected by her, Shui Ningrou, not the elders. Taking advantage of the situation, she can also give Xiaoyu a favor, making Xiaoyu feel that she, Shui Ningrou, attaches great importance to this relationship between them.
This transaction is to avoid any estrangement before entering the Blackwater Stream, and avoid any other changes.
As for the scene where Shuiying Yin and others plead for mercy, Shui Ningrou had arranged it a long time ago. Just like Shuiying Yin said, after the mermaid clan elders are all heroes, the hereditary eldership has an irreplaceable role among the clan.
Even if you want to depose Shui Changhui, you still need enough evidence of crime. If you want to depose an elder for a human being, the tribe will not agree.
It can be said that almost all the conflicts that occurred in the hall were in Shui Ningrou's hands. Only Xiaoyu's defeat of Shui Changhui exceeded her original expectations. Originally, according to Shui Ningrou's plan, Shui Changhui was
After Xiao Yu was seriously injured, Shui Ningrou took the opportunity to get angry, punished her, and warned the elders.
But no matter what the process was, the final result remained unchanged. Shui Ningrou was very satisfied with this, and was also quite satisfied with Xiaoyu's performance.
But Xiao Yu felt doubly heavy in his heart. If it hadn't been for the removal of Shui Changhui from the position of elder in the last scene, Xiao Yu would not have been able to see through Shui Ningrou's plan. This kind of thing was being manipulated unknowingly.
The feeling made Xiaoyu very unhappy.
But Xiao Yu has nothing to do. In terms of cultivation, he cannot beat Shui Ningrou, and in terms of scheming, he is not as deep as Shui Ningrou, who has been practicing for hundreds of years. Moreover, Shui Ningrou is the queen of the mermaid tribe and is very good at political strategy. Xiao Yu
There is no way to compare. At present, we can only take one step at a time and try to be careful about water condensation and softness.
"Xiao Yu." Shui Ningrou looked indifferent and sat down on the white dragon chair again. She looked at Xiao Yu with cold eyes and said, "What else do you need?"
"Uh..." Xiaoyu raised his head and took a deep look. As if nothing had happened, Shui Ningrou returned to his usual indifferent tone, pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, this disciple needs a quiet room for retreat."
"Okay." Shui Ningrou nodded slightly and agreed without any hesitation.
"In addition, the disciple also needs some medicinal materials. I have a list of the required medicinal materials here. Please take a look at it, Master." Xiaoyu touched the storage ring and a piece of parchment appeared in his hand.
Shui Ningrousu waved her hand lightly, emitting a soft source of power, rolled the parchment back into her hand, opened the parchment and looked at it. After a while, Shui Ningrou looked at Xiaoyu with a strange color in her starry eyes, and said quietly
: "You are well prepared."
"Hehe, if you need it for cultivation, please ask Master for permission." Xiao Yu showed a flattering smile. This list of medicinal materials on parchment was something he had been planning for a long time.
"My mermaid clan does not have a third-level spiritual spring, but it is not difficult to get a fourth-level spiritual spring from Shitan. Are you willing?" Shui Ningrou's voice was calm, and there was no hint of happiness or anger.
"Yes, yes, thank you Master for your permission." Xiaoyu nodded and agreed without thinking.
The fourth-level spiritual springs are far superior to the third-level spiritual springs in terms of quality and richness of spiritual energy. When used to refine third-grade wine elixirs, the success rate will be greatly increased. Xiaoyu will naturally not refuse.
"Hmph." Shui Ningrou glanced at Xiaoyu coldly, then looked at Shui Ling'er aside, and ordered: "Ling'er, go to the medicine garden and follow this list and get one hundred copies of herbal medicines that are hundreds of years old. Five
Two hundred doses of herbal medicine have been produced in ten years, and I am refining the Shitan Level 4 spiritual spring."
"Yes!" Shui Ling'er stepped forward respectfully, took the list of medicinal materials, turned around and quickly left the hall.
"Xiaoyu, I have fulfilled all the conditions you mentioned. If there are no other requirements, I hope you will abide by the agreement and help me with all my strength. Otherwise, I don't mind killing you now." Shui Ningrou's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
After a moment, he looked at Xiaoyu coldly.
Xiao Yu's heart trembled, and she felt that Shui Ningrou was not joking, but a very serious warning, and immediately smiled flatteringly and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that Xiao will never have other thoughts during the trip to the Black Water Stream.
"
"This is the best." Shui Ningrou tapped her head, touched the storage ring, took out two aqua blue jade rings, raised her hand slightly and threw one to Xiaoyu, explaining: "This thing is called a mandarin duck ring, the only one.
The effect is that you can feel each other's presence within a specific distance."
After a simple explanation, Shui Ningrou said no more, put the smaller aqua blue jade ring on her wrist, raised her head slightly, and looked at Xiaoyu quietly.
Xiaoyu glanced at Shui Ningrou, then lowered his head at the aqua blue jade ring, seeming a little hesitant. If he brought this thing with him, he would be under Shui Ningrou's surveillance at all times. If he didn't bring this thing with him, he would be under today's level.
I'm afraid I won't make it through.
With a slightly helpless sigh, Xiao Yu still compromised and put the larger aqua blue jade ring on his left wrist. Then he closed his eyes slightly and didn't even look at Shui Ningrou, as if a child was having trouble.
He looked quite depressed.
"Pfft!" Shui Ningrou pursed her lips and smiled, suddenly feeling that Xiao Yu's temper was quite cute.
But this smile only appeared for a moment, and was restrained by Shui Ningrou, and was not discovered by Xiaoyu and Shuiying Yin. She secretly turned her power away and merged into the aqua blue jade ring, a strange feeling connected with Xiaoyu's heart.
The feeling immediately appeared in Shui Ningrou's heart.
"Xiao Yu, the relationship within the mermaid clan is complicated. Before the solar eclipse, I hope you will go out as little as possible to avoid risks." Shui Ningrou whispered softly in her heart.
Xiaoyu was startled and immediately opened her eyes and looked at Shui Ningrou. After noticing Xiaoyu's eyes, Shui Ningrou nodded lightly, confirming Xiaoyu's doubts. The voice that appeared in Xiaoyu's heart was indeed hers.
It is issued through the aqua blue jade ring on the wrist.
"The mandarin duck ring connects minds. It turns out that this is its effect." Xiaoyu lowered his head and glanced at the aqua blue jade ring on his left wrist, and stopped talking.
Not long after, Shui Ling'er returned to the main hall, and at Shui Ningrou's signal, she took out a storage bag and handed it to Xiao Yu's hands, saying with a hint of respect: "Little Master, the medicinal materials you need are all in the storage bag.
"
"Thank you." Xiao Yu showed a friendly smile, a rare gesture of courtesy.
"Ling'er, I will leave Xiaoyu's daily life in Bailongjian to your care. Take him to rest." Shui Ningrou suddenly gave an order.
Shui Ling'er agreed without any hesitation and guided Xiao Yu out of the hall, and then Shui Yingzang also left alone.
At this moment, only Shui Ningrou and Shui Ying Yin were left in the palace. Shui Ningrou stood up, walked down the steps step by step, and walked to Shui Ying Yin's side, then stopped and asked: "Is this emperor's puppet body ready?"
How is it?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the puppet body has been refined. All it takes is for Your Majesty to divide the soul into the master." Shuiying Yin replied respectfully.
Shui Ningrou looked at the palace door, not knowing what she was thinking. After a long time, she sighed quietly and said: "Actually, I am tired of intrigues and power struggles, but as the only royal member of the Kunlong clan, I
Although I have no blood, I have to take over the throne and protect my mermaid clan from falling into the hands of people with other surnames. Going to the Blackwater Stream this time was also my helpless choice. There was too much pain left there and too many royal family members were sacrificed.
senior.
Therefore, while I am not in Bailongjian, you must try your best to cover up my traces, assist my puppet body in dealing with the elders, and be cautious of Shui Yuanjun. Although this person is loyal to me, he is of that person's blood after all.
, we have to be on guard. If this emperor fails during our trip to the Blackwater Stream, don’t be burdened. Take Ling’er and your two brothers and leave together, and never come back. Do you remember?”
"Your Majesty, nothing will happen to you. I will always wait for you to come back!" Shui Yingyin felt a little sad and angry in his heart. He hated himself for being incompetent. Shui Ningrou had to bear everything by herself.
"Okay, I will not fail so easily. Let's go and see the puppet body." Shui Ningrou comforted Shuiying Yin and walked towards the inner hall...
Shui Ling'er guided Xiao Yu away from the main hall of Kunlong Palace and walked towards one of the branch halls. Xiao Yu followed Shui Ling'er silently, but felt a little depressed in his heart. One mandarin duck ring was not enough, and someone had to be sent to monitor. For such a
Xiaoyu felt very resistant to the restrictions.
However, there was no choice. People had to bow their heads under the eaves. Xiaoyu could only temporarily compromise and hope that the day of the solar eclipse would come soon, but before that, Xiaoyu had to make good preparations.
Following Shui Ling'er, Xiao Yu walked through the corridors and passed the branch halls. It was not until this moment that Xiao Yu truly realized that Kunlong Palace was too big, with countless branch halls, and all the people living there were mermaids.
He is a high-ranking and powerful person in the clan, but most of the branch halls are empty.
Soon after, Xiaoyu followed Shui Ling'er and came to a magnificent branch hall. Although this branch hall was not as majestic as the main hall, it was very large in area. Compared with this branch hall, Xiaoyu arrived.
It seems too small.
After entering the branch hall, Shui Ling'er took out a fish-shaped token from the storage ring and gave it to Xiao Yu, saying: "There are eighteen secret rooms in this hall. The young master can choose at will. This token is to open the secret room."
Please keep the key, Master."
"What about you?" Xiaoyu took the token, glanced at it casually, and put it away.
There was still a hint of coldness in Shui Ling'er's eyes, but her attitude was much softer than before, and she said slowly: "Ling'er will stay in the palace every step of the way. If the young master needs anything, you can just ask Ling'er to do it."
"Not leaving even an inch?" Xiao Yu was a little depressed. Could it be that he could really escape?
"Okay then, it's all up to you." Xiao Yu stepped forward and said without looking back, "I'm going to retreat now and prohibit all interruptions."
"Yes." Shui Ling'er promised, took out a futon from the storage ring, and sat cross-legged at the door of the palace, looking very dedicated.
Xiao Yu didn't pay attention to this. Even if he objected to Shui Ling'er, he wouldn't listen. He quickly walked to a black iron door and squinted his eyes to look at it.
