2428: Attacked (2)

Attacked (2)

Tang Nazhi soon followed Xi Yan's instructions and rushed to save the trapped merfolks.2

Just as Tang Nazhi left, Qi Da rushed over again. In another area, another group of merfolks was attacked.

This time, the Dragon God volunteered to help.

After the Dragon God left, Shen Yanxiao appeared in the hall. She looked at the back of the Dragon God and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Sister." Xi Yan felt Shen Yanxiao's aura and swam towards her with her beautiful fishtail.

"Hmm?" Shen Yanxiao looked at Xi Yan with a smile in her eyes.

"Sister, why didn't you come out just now?" Xi Yan had already noticed Shen Yanxiao in the corner of the hall, but she did not appear in front of Tang Nazhi and the Dragon God. Instead, after the two of them left, she swam out unhurriedly.

"In order to avoid them being lazy, it's better to let them deal with such menial work." Shen Yanxiao patted Xi Yan's little head.

Xi Yan froze for a moment, then chuckled.

"Xi Yan, you've worked hard during this period of time. You should take a rest first." Shen Yanxiao said gently.

Speaking of gentleness, Shen Yanxiao also had gentle moments, but this kind of gentleness would only be shown to cute things and Xiu.

"Sister, I'm not tired." Xi Yan shook her head.

"You have to rest even if you're not tired. You won't grow up if you don't rest well." Shen Yanxiao coaxed Xi Yan like a child.

Xi Yan smiled foolishly. Under Shen Yanxiao's coaxing, she could only obediently return to the small secret room to rest.

After the palace was rebuilt, Shen Yanxiao still kept the small secret room where Xi Yan lived, but it was slightly modified to make it more comfortable. Moreover, the room was also equipped with a mechanism to open the entrance from the inside.

Although the secret room was built by Xi Yan's father to detain Xi Yan, it was an excellent hiding place. No one could discover it if they hadn't known in advance.

After coaxing Xi Yan to sleep, Shen Yanxiao called Qi Da and asked him to tell all the merfolks that they had worked too hard these days and that they should have to have a good rest and put aside the matter of sorting out the details of the capital for the time being.

Although Shen Yanxiao was not the Merfolk Ruler, she also had an insurmountable position in the minds of the merfolks. Her multicolored fishtail made all the merfolks willing to listen to her commands.

The merfolks soon followed Shen Yanxiao's instructions and put down their work. They either went back to rest or swam in the ocean together.

Shen Yanxiao stood in the palace and watched the merfolks disperse back into their homes. The smile in her eyes gradually faded.

"Attacked? Satan's methods are not so brilliant." With no one around, Shen Yanxiao finally showed her real emotions. She held Neptune's trident in one hand and stroked her chin with the other.

Merfolks had a certain advantage in the ocean, and few water-elemental magical beasts would take the initiative to attack them. But today, it was such a coincidence that merfolks were attacked one after another when they were about to reach the merfolk capital. This gave off the feeling that it was deliberate.

"The trick is not about being clever or not, but that you have no choice but to step into it even though you know it is a trap." All of a sudden, a deep voice sounded from behind Shen Yanxiao, and that shuddering aura once again shrouded the brand new hall.

"Little guy, you knew that the merfolks were attacked to lure those two idiots away, so why didn't you stop them? You knew it was a trap, but you still stepped into it. It's really adorable."
