The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

After gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Alice fell silent. She murmured, "Why wasn't I the one who met you first...?"

But the thought of her past misunderstanding of Gu Ran caused her heart to ache.

I don't deserve that kind of self at all.

Time continues to move forward, and it will not stop for anyone's personal feelings.

The little conch's strength has grown stronger and stronger, completely surpassing that of her grandmother.

Gu Ran touched the necklace around her neck, feeling that her time in the sea was probably running out.

"Let's wait a little longer, maybe a miracle will happen..." Gu Ran said softly to herself.

As the little conch grew stronger, the sea beasts and ferocious monsters seemed to realize that they had reached the final moment. If they could not succeed this time, they might not succeed again.

This time, the scale of the gathering of sea monsters and ferocious beasts far exceeded Gu Ran's expectations.

There are hundreds of sea beasts and ferocious beasts that are comparable to martial arts masters and S-class superhumans. Such power is enough to completely cut off the Far East City on the island from the outside world's shipping routes.

Therefore, this time Gu Ran took much longer. Even with his extremely abnormal physical abilities, he was unable to eliminate these sea beasts and ferocious monsters in a short period of time.

Suddenly, Gu Ran turned her head and looked at the figure she had been longing for day and night not far away, and couldn't help but say, "Little Conch?"

The little conch shell that had arrived with several mermaids not far away looked at Gu Ran calmly, displaying the majesty of an empress: "You are Gu Ran, the enemy of the mermaid race?"

"Little conch? What an awful name! My name is Ariel, I am the Queen of the Mermaids, and I will be the Queen of the Sea Clan in this region!"

"Little seashell," Ariel said coldly.

Gu Ran fell silent.

......

Ariel, outside the screen, could no longer control her grief and began to cry.

She remembered this encounter; it was what she thought was their first meeting.

The thought of how she had spoken to Gu Ran back then made her heart ache so much she could hardly breathe.

105. Your Majesty, you must consider the fate of the sea people! (4k)

Even now, Ariel still hasn't remembered any of the little things about her love affair with Gu Ran.

Because those precious memories were sealed into the Heart of the Ocean necklace, which was regarded as the most precious treasure of the mermaid race. This necklace was also regarded as the most precious treasure in the ocean and the basis for the mermaid race to become the royal family of the sea.

But at this moment, Ariel had an urge to shatter the Heart of the Ocean, because it contained her most cherished possession.

Although she still couldn't recall her experiences with Gu Ran, the intense sadness welling up from the deepest part of her heart, along with her attachment and affection for Gu Ran, made her realize that it was all real.

Gu Qingqing's misunderstanding with Gu Ran was caused by temporarily sealing some of her memories. When the sealed memories break through the seal, she will be able to recall everything.

However, she could no longer recall everything she had spent with Gu Ran, because she could not destroy the Heart of the Ocean, nor could she destroy it on her own. Moreover, the soul involved the most mysterious realm and knowledge in the world, and even she had no idea how to "cut" and "repair" her own soul's origin.

In other words, Gu Qingqing can still get back what's most precious to her, while she can only live forever in this life of losing what's most precious, forever living in regret and guilt.

No, I still have a chance to make amends!

Although I have no solution, Gu Ran must have one!

He will definitely be able to rekindle the beautiful feelings we've lost.

Ariel's expression suddenly changed.

Because of Gu Qingqing's experience, Ariel's condition has always been being observed.

When her crying stopped and her eyes changed, those watching her knew things were going to get bad.

Right now, they're relying on Ariel to restrain Gu Qingqing. If even Ariel turns against them, then there will be no one left to restrain Gu Qingqing. If the two of them join forces, then the plan to ambush and kill Gu Ran will likely fail.

Of course, they could not allow such a thing to happen. No matter how pitiful or how righteous Gu Ran was in the past, it could not stop them from killing Gu Ran, because when they stood here, they had already formed an opposing relationship with Gu Ran. It was either Gu Ran who died or they who died.

Lin Fan, in particular, was on high alert.

"Your Majesty, although the sea race now dominates a region of the sea, it has not yet reached its peak. You must think more about the future development of the sea race."

Just then, a clear, melodious voice rang out beside Ariel.

Ariel looked over and saw Danier, the minister she had promoted, who was one of the best among the younger generation of merfolk.

The minister she valued had put forward many constructive suggestions, one of the most important of which was to pay attention to historical records, explore the glorious past of the merfolk, rebuild their self-confidence, and enhance their cohesion.

She greatly appreciated this, so much so that she eventually took Dianer under her wing to mentor her.

Upon hearing Diane's words, Ariel glanced around and calmed down slightly.

She is currently on land, surrounded by the most powerful group of humans. If she simply wants to leave, that would be fine; even with so many sea creature subordinates, she could confidently depart. However, if she is rescuing people, then it would be a bit of a stretch.

Moreover, this is indeed the most crucial moment for the development of the Sea Clan. Whether the Sea Clan of this era can surpass history depends on its development in the next few years. Therefore, Danier's satire is not wrong.

Both emotionally and rationally, now is not the time for her to impulsively save Gu Ran.

"Yes, and even if what happened before was a misunderstanding, Queen Ariel, Gu Ran really did imprison your mother. To this day, your mother still hasn't come out of the ruins that suppressed her." Lin Fan, not giving up his last hope, stirred up trouble between Ariel and Gu Ran.

Although he had already thought about how to deal with the last unavoidable situation, it would be great if he could persuade Queen Aerith not to "do something foolish".

Because he really didn't want to go to that final step, which would reduce the number of women in his harem.

Ariel concealed her feelings and glanced back calmly: "Don't worry, I'm not that unwise. The past is the past. Now I naturally prioritize the Sea Clan, and I've already forgotten about those things with Gu Ran."

At this moment, Ariel displayed her queenly majesty, seemingly indifferent to matters of the heart, with only the desire to develop and strengthen the sea race and the mermaid race.

Lin Fan nodded with some relief and smiled, "That's right, that's right. Her Majesty Queen Aili'er naturally prioritizes the sea race. It's wonderful that you think that way. This is a blessing for both the sea race and the mermaid race. In the future, we humans and the sea race should have more interactions."

Although he has not yet become the chief administrator of the Human Alliance, Lin Fan already has the demeanor of someone who would normally assume the throne of the Human Alliance.

However, Ariel didn't even glance at him. No one knew what kind of torment she suffered when she said those words; it felt like a heart-wrenching pain.

Even though she had severed the connection with Gu Ran from her very soul, her love for him still emanated from the depths of her heart and from the very source of her soul.

This love arose spontaneously; it had been hidden deep within her soul, untouched until it was discovered, at which point it gushed forth like a fountain, impossible to contain.

This love, which came from the depths of her soul, seemed to have been tempered by countless trials. Instead of being worn down by time and hardship, it became even more resilient and influenced her thoughts and actions.

So when she said, insincerely, that she didn't care about Gu Ran's feelings at all, this love made her so upset that she wanted to cry.

However, she couldn't show it in front of these people. She could let go of her previous uncontrollable emotions, but if she revealed her emotions now, it would not only expose her intention to help Gu Ran, but also show her weakness, which would be detrimental to the current situation.

With her intelligence and shrewdness, even if she were to suffer excruciating pain, she would never reveal it in the slightest.

The other wary human powerhouses were somewhat relieved to see that Ariel was so "sensible" and did not retaliate.

If Ariel really betrays Gu Qingqing, they will definitely join forces to suppress her. No matter how strong Ariel is, they will fight her.

......

In the light screen.

Upon hearing Ariel's words, Gu Ran swayed. He looked at her, silent, his eyes filled with undisguised sorrow.

Although Ariel didn't understand emotions, she still instinctively felt that Gu Ran's gaze made her very uncomfortable, as if... they shouldn't have this kind of relationship.

Ariel's expression changed, and a thought in her mind made her stop.

Her mother, who had been watching her closely, immediately noticed her unusual behavior.

“Ariel, what are you waiting for? That’s our mermaid clan’s greatest enemy. If you can kill him, you will not only avenge our clan, but also subdue those big creatures in the sea, unite the sea race, become the sea queen, and live up to the glory of your ancestors.”

Ariel's mother urged, her gaze toward Gu Ran filled with a ruthless determination to get rid of him.

Gu Ran remained silent.

He didn't even bring up past grievances or mention that he had saved her and several other mermaids.

Because he knew that none of this was necessary. As long as the part of the soul in the Heart of the Ocean necklace did not return to the little seashell, she would forever be the Mermaid Queen, the Sea Queen Ariel.

Ariel's mother's words brought her back to her senses. Although Gu Ran gave her a strange feeling, she would not go against her mother's wishes to "sympathize" with a human, the "great enemy" of the merfolk.

"Gu Ran, prepare to die." Ariel no longer hesitated and used a move she had just learned from the inherited memories.

The immense seawater pressed down on Gu Ran like a mountain.

Gu Ran didn't dodge, as if he was stunned and took the blow.

"Her strength is still below that of a martial arts grandmaster and an S-class ability user. Her mother was a bit too hasty in pushing her out so early."

Feeling the power of the wave, Gu Ran commented in his mind.

Having roughly ascertained Ariel's strength, he left the place.

At this point, she was still unable to support her tribe or protect herself.

Ariel frowned slightly as she looked at the empty sea before her.

This human was so powerful that she could sense that he didn't want to get entangled with her any longer.

"Damn it, how dare they look down on me! I'll remember this grudge!" Ariel gritted her teeth.

After leaving Ariel's sight, Gu Ran did not swim far, but maintained an appropriate distance from Ariel and the others.

Time flies, and Ariel's strength grew stronger and stronger, only one step away from reaching the top level of power.

Once she takes this step, she too can become a powerhouse comparable to a human martial arts master and an S-class superhuman.

"Gu Ran, where are you?" Alice called out to the vast, empty sea.

Seeing that no one came out to respond, Alice's beautiful eyes dimmed.
