Chapter 2429: Attacked (2)
Tang Nazhi quickly followed Xi Yan’s instructions to rescue the trapped merpeople.
Just before Tang Nazhi left, Qi Da came in a hurry again and reported that another group of merpeople
was attacked in another sea area.
This time, the Dragon God volunteered to lend a hand.
After the Dragon God left, Shen Yanxiao appeared in the hall. She looked at the departing back of the
Dragon God and seemed to be thinking about something.
“Elder sister.” Xi Yan felt the aura of Shen Yanxiao and swam towards her, swinging her beautiful shtail.
“Hm?” Shen Yanxiao looked at Xi Yan with a trace of a smile in her eyes.
“Elder sister, why didn’t you come out just now?” Xi Yan noticed Shen Yanxiao in the corner of the hall at
an earlier time, but Shen Yanxiao did not appear in front of Tang Nazhi and the Dragon God. It was only
after the two of them left that she slowly swam out.
“It is better to let them handle such hard tasks, so as to avoid them becoming lazy.” Shen Yanxiao patted
Xi Yan’s little head.
Xi Yan paused, and then let out a chuckle.
“Xi Yan, you’ve been working hard for a while now. You’d better take a rest, too.” Shen Yanxiao said
warmly.
Speaking of gentleness, in fact, Shen Yanxiao also had gentle moments. It was just that she would only
show this kind of gentleness towards the adorable little ones.
“Elder sister, I am not tired.” Xi Yan shook her head.
“Rest even if you are not tired. If you do not have good rest, you will not grow up.” Shen Yanxiao coaxed Xi
Yan like a child.
Xi Yan smiled foolishly and, under the inducement of Shen Yanxiao, she could only obediently return to
the small secret room to rest.
After the palace was rebuilt, Shen Yanxiao still kept Xi Yan’s small secret room, but slightly modied it to
make it more comfortable. In addition to that, the room had also been equipped with a mechanism to
open the entrance.
Although the secret room was built by Xi Yan’s father to house-arrest Xi Yan, it was an excellent secret
place, and no one could have found it without prior knowledge.
After coaxing Xi Yan to rest, Shen Yanxiao called Qi Da and asked him to tell all the merpeople that they
had worked too hard these days, and today, they all should have a good rest and put aside the matters of
the merfolk’s hometown for a while.
Although Shen Yanxiao was not their merfolk ruler, she also held an incomparable position in the
merpeople’s mind. Her colorful shtail made all the merpeople willingly obey her command.
Thus, according to Shen Yanxiao’s orders, the merpeople soon put down their work, and either went back
to rest or to swim in the ocean together.
Shen Yanxiao stood in the palace and watched the merpeople disperse from their hometown. The smile
in her eyes faded away at the same time.
“Attacked? Satan’s tricks are not so clever, either.” Without anyone around, Shen Yanxiao nally showed
her true emotions. She held Neptune’s trident with one hand and stroked her chin with the other.
Merfolk had certain advantages in the ocean. There were few water magical beasts that actively attacked
the merfolk. However, it was such a coincidence that today, group after group of merpeople were
attacked when they were approaching the merfolk’s hometown. This really made people think that it was
deliberate.
“The trick is not about being clever or not, but about having no choice but to step forward, even though
you know it is a trap.” Suddenly, a deep voice sounded from behind Shen Yanxiao and the terrifying aura
once again enveloped the newly built hall.
“Lass, if you knew that the attack on the merfolk was to distract those two idiots, why did you not stop
them? Knowing it’s a trap, you still stepped into it; you’re really adorable.”
