Abstinence Admiral Don't Bite, the Softer Mermaid Top Thug

Chapter 102 His Highness Returns
Patrolling sea beasts were hovering in the sky above At Sea City. From afar, it looked like the sparkling stars above were illuminating the entire huge sea city.

In order to facilitate the action, Jing Weiman hung the little fish cub on his shoulders and neck, and went to the center of Athai City with Nan Ya and others.

"General Chang Ge was once one of the twelve cities entrusted with important tasks by the royal family. However, since the royal family was overthrown... the surviving mermaids in Sea City see General Chang Ge as a betrayal of the royal family's mission, even going so far as to transform himself and surrender to the dark forces in order to survive."

"Your Highness, all the sea beast guards you see in Haicheng are under the command of General Chang Ge."

As Nan Ya spoke, Jing Weimian's gaze slowly shifted from the sea beast guards floating in the sky to the crystal pool in the distance. "But what you just said is from the perspective of the old mermaid clan. Does that mean that General Chang Ge is not actually like that?"

Nan Ya nodded, "Yes, Your Highness is indeed smart."

Yan Qin continued, "We went over there yesterday to test the waters and discovered that General Chang Ge was indeed no different from the alienated dark forces on the surface. However, I'm sure he recognized us from the crowd as the Queen's guards, but he pretended not to recognize us and even sent guards to drive us away from the center of Haicheng."

"So he actually drove you away because he didn't want you to be discovered by the dark forces and fall into their hands?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Jing Weimian was originally a little worried that it would not be so easy to meet the old clan general that Nan Ya and the others mentioned, but now after hearing them say this, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

After arriving at the center of Haicheng, Nan Ya used the same clumsy trial method as yesterday to cause a big commotion in the market selling scales and pearls, which as expected attracted the attention of patrolling sea beasts.

Not long after the patrolling sea beasts reported the troublemakers to General Changge, General Changge appeared again.

General Chang Ge, with strange black scales on his body, arrived with his sea beast subordinates. When he saw that it was Nan Ya and others again, he captured them without saying a word.

This time, Nan Ya and Su Huai retreated from both sides. General Chang Ge's eyes were fierce. After seeing the people behind Nan Ya and the others clearly, his dark pupils stood up.

The slender and beautiful pink mermaid leaned against the water column where a school of fish floated, with the little cub curled up on her shoulder. The mermaid was leisurely and played with the beads on the webbed membrane of her hands.

General Chang Ge recognized them as Star Pattern Beads at a glance and quickly realized what was going on. He took them away in a stern tone and claimed that he would interrogate them personally.

However, as soon as he brought the person into the hall, he dismissed all his subordinates.

General Chang Ge paused, staring at the leading pink mermaid for a long moment. He then took a few steps back and tore off the camouflaged black scales with his bare hands, revealing his original silver armor-like scales. He placed his right palm on his left shoulder and bowed slightly to the pink mermaid in front of him, "Your Highness."

He added, "It's wonderful that you're still alive."

Jing Weimian stepped forward and lifted General Chang Ge's arm. "Thank you for your hard work, General, you have been staying in Athai City to bide your time."

General Chang Ge was stunned. He hadn't expected that His Highness had seen through his thoughts before he could even explain. He nodded slowly, "I've been waiting for His Highness to come back."

Jing Weimian didn't waste too much time on useless reminiscing. She responded and then asked directly, "When I arrived at the center of Haicheng, I observed a special crystal pool in the center of Haicheng. It was filled with energy, but no living creatures came near to absorb the energy in the pool. Why is that?"

General Chang Ge looked at their Highness with great satisfaction and said, "Then your Highness should have noticed the luminous object on the crystal pool, right?"

Jing Weimian nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, what's hanging above the crystal pool seems to be a piece of debris?"

"Yes, that is the tidal power fragment. The energy source of the entire Sea City comes from this tidal power fragment."

"The dark forces have long coveted this tidal force. However, because the tidal force can only be controlled by those of the royal family's pure bloodline, anyone else who approaches will only be burned. As a result, the dark forces can only envy this power, but cannot do anything about it."

General Chang Ge said, looking at Jing Weimian, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "But Your Highness is different. Your Highness is the last royal bloodline left by the Queen, and naturally the master of tidal power. If Your Highness can retrieve the tidal power fragments and awaken the energy, you can completely control the entire Athai City."

"Yathai City is one of the lifelines leading to the royal city. Once we recapture Athai City, things will be easy." After General Chang Ge said this, Nan Ya and others all turned their eyes to Jing Weiman, as if waiting for her to make a decision.

Jing Weimian pondered for a moment and said, "As the general said, if I can really retrieve the tidal power fragments and recapture Atsea City, before that, I need General Changge to do another crucial thing."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"Even if we recapture At Sea City, the Eleven Sea Cities, controlled by the dark forces, are still eyeing us covetously. So before we have absolute certainty, I hope that while I retrieve the Tidal Power Fragment, General Chang Ge can find a way to block the entrances and exits of At Sea City to prevent any leaks. Only then can we make our next plan."

General Chang Ge immediately agreed, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do as you say."

So they quickly split up.

General Chang Ge blocked the entrances and exits of Haicheng Water Gate on the pretext of launching a city-wide search for foreign elements.

At the same time, Jing Weimian temporarily handed the little fish to Su Huai's care and went to the crystal pool that no one dared to approach.

People in the distance saw a rare pink mermaid approaching the crystal pool. When her curled tail was splashed by the water gushing out of the crystal pool, they covered their mouths and dared not get close, thinking that the beautiful pink mermaid would be burned by the energy water flow in the crystal pool.

As a result, the next second, the crystal pool that had been circulating all year round suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, the pink mermaid leaped into the crystal pool, dyeing the originally transparent water into crystal pink as crystal clear as glass.

The mermaid swam to the center of the pool, and the fragments of tidal power that had been hanging above the crystal pool for many years without changing slowly and automatically descended, gradually merging into the same light pink luster as the mermaid's body.

When it touched the mermaid's flowing pink hair, a pink light flashed, and it transformed into scales and instantly embedded itself into the mermaid's body.

In an instant, the energy radiance of the mermaid's awakening almost overwhelmed the entire sea city, and the light and soft pink mist permeated the entire sea and sky like the afterglow of the setting sun.

Most of the people were stunned by the dreamlike pink sheen and stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to recover. That was until the old mermaids hidden among the dark forces reacted, bursting into tears of joy and shouting loudly—

"It's His Royal Highness! His Royal Highness has returned!"

"Your Highness? It's actually Your Highness!"

"The tidal power fragment only recognizes royal bloodlines, and that petal tail, who else could it be but His Highness?!"

……

The members of the dark forces looked at each other in bewilderment, seeing that the mermaid servants who were used to keeping a low profile dared to run up and shout. Some of them couldn't help but stepped forward with whips, and were about to whip their mermaid servants with ferocious faces.

As a result, when the whip was swung down, a cold pink energy glow came straight down and whipped the whip back onto the face of the dark force member. The man covered his face and screamed in pain.

At the same time, bathed in the pink energy glow, the shackles of slavery that were branded on every member of the old mermaid clan were instantly disintegrated and dissipated. The old mermaid clan, who had been suppressed by this shackle for many years, broke free from the cage and, guided by the energy, spontaneously swam to the center of the sea city and bowed down to the pink mermaid royal family pouring down from the crystal pool.

The city of Athai, which had been dominated by dark forces for many years, finally returned to the royal family.

Jing Weimian led the guard team to reorganize various parts of Haicheng, and discussed the next recovery plan with General Changge.
