Chapter 1 "Ningshuang, I brought you something delicious."

The only male Divine-level merman, Wup, carrying a snow-white, delicate-looking food that resembled a cream cake, knocked on Ningshuang's door.

Wup had long seen that Ningshuang was a foodie. If he wanted to win her heart, he had to win her stomach first.

Wup thought smugly, *I'm so attentive, and I'm the only male Divine-level merman on the entire mermaid star. Ningshuang has no choice. I'm the only one she can marry.*

Just the thought of holding Ningshuang in his arms made Wup tremble with excitement.

Ningshuang had repeatedly clamored for tomato beef brisket, but Wup refused to give it to her.

Don't ask why. In Wup's eyes, beef was like garlic.

*Would you give your goddess garlic?*

Wup thought that Ningshuang was perfect in every way, except for this one bad habit. He had to help her break it.

*She can't eat garlic in the future, or I, Wup, won't be able to accept it.*

Ningshuang politely said, "No, thank you. I'm not hungry. I'm trying to comprehend something. Please don't disturb me."

Ningshuang had no interest in Wup at all. Besides, she was currently a crying mess. How could she possibly face anyone?

Wup gave an "oh." Anyway, Ningshuang was a dish on his plate. He could take his time.

After Wup left, Ningshuang continued to sob.

Ningshuang lay on her bed, crying. Without tomato beef brisket, she felt that her mermaid life had lost its meaning.

*I miss home. I want to go home.*

Just then, someone suddenly gave Ningshuang's bottom a gentle kick from behind.

Ningshuang was startled and quickly turned around. Her expression was first dazed, then incredibly delighted.

Ningshuang stuttered with excitement, pointing at Chen Luo.

"It's you, tomato, beef brisket."

"It's you, tomato beef brisket."

Chen Luo was speechless. *Isn't my name Chen Luo?*

Tomato beef brisket was Ningshuang's favorite. Chen Luo's arrival was equivalent to the arrival of tomato beef brisket.

Chen Luo chuckled and pinched Ningshuang's face. "Looks like you're not having a good time here. You've lost weight."

Chen Luo twisted her face with both hands, causing it to deform continuously.

*Hmm, even with her face deformed, this gluttonous Ningshuang is still pretty cute.*

Ningshuang didn't resist, whimpering, "If you bully me again, I'll tell my sister. Give me tomato beef brisket now."

Chen Luo curiously picked up a pearl that Ningshuang had cried out.

Chen Luo had arrived earlier, but he didn't want to take Ningshuang away in front of the mermen. He only appeared after Wup left.

Chen Luo had already sensed that Ningshuang was at the Divine-level, but he wasn't sure which Laws she controlled.

Now, what was the effect of the tears of a Divine-level Ningshuang?

When Ningshuang was thrown onto the mermaid star, she was only at the Emperor-level peak, not even a demigod.

At that time, Ningshuang's tears had little to no effect on Chen Luo.

The restored energy was like adding a single grain of rice to Chen Luo's bowl.

Ningshuang was a little embarrassed, then realized that she should be proper in front of the mermen, but Chen Luo already knew she was a crybaby.

*Oh well, I give up.*

Chen Luo tried absorbing a little of Ningshuang's tears, and the energy he had consumed during the spatial teleportation was quickly replenished.

Chen Luo was pleasantly surprised. Ningshuang was still useful.

Chen Luo's expression shifted as he looked towards the door. Someone was coming.

Leisade sent Leisakun to bring Ningshuang back. Leisakun had arrived.

Leisakun also controlled ten Laws. He was a little weaker than Olivia. The strength of the same number of Laws could vary greatly.

In front of emperors like Leisade Adolf, Leisakun was nothing, but in front of outsiders, he was still an unmatched powerhouse.

At the same time, Leisade was also a Prince-level figure in the Volsey Empire, holding a high position and great power.

Leisakun's arrival made the mermaid star both terrified and delighted.

They were terrified because they didn't know the purpose of Leisakun's arrival, and delighted because maintaining good relations with the Volsey Empire would ensure the mermaid star's long-term prosperity.

Leisakun said with a cold expression, "Where is the new merman queen? By order of the Emperor, I am to bring her to the capital."

Leisakun threw out a spatial ring. "This is the Emperor's reward for the mermaid star."

Wup took it with a flattering expression. Other than Ningshuang, Wup's status was second to none, because Wup was the only merman on the mermaid star, besides Ningshuang, who controlled three Laws.

A female Divine-level merman hesitated, "The Queen is currently comprehending her inheritance. A sudden change of environment, I fear, will greatly affect her comprehension?"

"How about waiting a few decades? I will definitely have the Queen visit."

Leisakun's face turned cold. If he couldn't invite her, he would have to forcibly take her back.

Before Leisakun could speak, Wup scolded, "Didn't you hear? This is the Emperor's order. How dare you resist?"

Leisakun smiled. This kid knew what was good for him.

Wup flattered, "Sir, I have been serving the Queen, and I understand her habits. Take me with you, so I can continue to serve the Queen."

Leisakun laughed. "Alright."

Wup was overjoyed. If he could take this opportunity to squeeze into the upper echelons of the Volsey Empire, wouldn't that be better than staying on the mermaid star?

The female merman wanted to say something, but another merman tugged at her, his expression somewhat黯然 (ànrán: disheartened).

Even if Queen Olivia were still alive, she would not be able to refuse the Emperor's order.

The group knocked on Ningshuang's door. The door opened naturally, revealing Ningshuang being carried under Chen Luo's arm, with tear stains on her face.

The female merman exclaimed in shock and anger, "Who are you? What did you do to the Queen? Did you make her cry?"

Chen Luo grinned wickedly. "I'm taking your Queen away."

Wup pointed at Chen Luo. "What are you? How did you get in here?"

Leisakun, however, took several steps back in shock, pointing at Chen Luo in horror. "You're not dead?"

Ningshuang felt grateful to Olivia. If she directly and willingly followed Chen Luo, Leisakun would vent his anger on the mermaid star.

So, she would pretend to be forced and kill Leisakun.

He couldn't kill Adolf, Leisade, and Chen Luo was already full of anger. He might as well use this Leisakun as a target.

Wup was suspicious. *Lord Leisakun, are you afraid of him?*

*Heh heh, if I don't do something to the mermaid star, it will be suspicious. You're the unlucky one, Wup.*

Time Reversal.

One or two Time Reversals might only benefit Emperors like Leisade Adolf, but for a three-Law merman like Wup, hehe.

After the initial shock, Leisakun looked at him coldly. Although he couldn't kill Chen Luo, he wouldn't back down either.

Just then, everyone was horrified to discover that Wup's aura was plummeting rapidly.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds passed. In just five seconds, Wup had transformed from a strong merman into an axolotl.

*Thump, thump,* Wup bounced around on the floor.

The current Wup didn't even have the strength of a King-level. He probably only had the strength of a newborn.

Some creatures are born with the strength of a level five or six.

This scene caused everyone to look at Chen Luo in disbelief, including Ningshuang, who had her mouth wide open.
