Fey Evolution Merchant



That gaze could be likened to a final goodbye.

Dazzling Silver said with a slightly hoarse voice, "I respect your decision. I'll take you to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye now. I hope you manage to obtain the New Thearch's Scale. I would gladly accept you as the thearch of the mermaid species!"

Dazzling Silver's words were filled with sincerity and echoed the thoughts of White Brocade, Red Beauty, and the rest as well. Even Light Green Umber was in agreement with what Dazzling Silver said.

Although it was not strange that Dazzling Silver had said such things, the convictions should not have been expressed by her.

Wasn't she always faithfully by Brilliant Gold's side and always prioritized Brilliant Gold's profits? When did she start making decisions of her own accord?

Brilliant Gold had yet to make a decision. There was no way that Dazzling Silver's words had come from Brilliant Gold.

White Brocade, Light Green Umber, and the rest all looked at Brilliant Gold and saw that her expression had become very peculiar.

Amidst her secret glee, Light Green Umber could not help but wonder.

Could Dazzling Silver's feelings toward Brilliant Gold have changed when she saw Dark Blue? This seemed like the only reasonable explanation.

There were no ugly mermaids. Even the inferior- and mid-ranked mermaids had exceptional beauty.

The king-class mermaids all had unique features that each had their own charm.

It did not need to be said that the emperor-class mermaids all possessed breathtaking beauty.

Since there were no complaints about their looks, the only area that could be nick picked was the color of their scales and hair.

Firstly, mermaids desired their scales and hair to be of the same color. Or, at the very least, it had to be shades of the same color.

If their hair and scales were of the same color, the next distinction was attributed to the colors themselves.

Mermaids always placed the color azure above all other colors, followed by the colors that resembled azure the most, such as navy, indigo, and baby blue.

However, these colors were not common.

A large reason the six emperor-class mermaids had chosen River Creek was due to her mostly baby blue tail and hair. The slight purple hue that she also possessed was almost undetectable.

Apart from blue, the mermaids also placed the color gold on a pedestal. Although gold was still ranked below blue, it was regarded as much more elite than the other colors.

This was the reason Brilliant Gold had caught Dazzling Silver's eye.

Light Green Umber's color might seem similar to baby blue, but there was an obvious difference in hue.

Light Green Umber could tell Brilliant Gold was having difficulty taking this in.

However, Light Green Umber did not care about how well Brilliant Gold was taking this. The more uncomfortable Brilliant Gold was, the happier Light Green Umber would be.

Regardless of who ended up becoming the first mermaid thearch, the wedge between Light Green Umber and Brilliant Gold would not disappear.

Lin Yuan had no idea that the mermaid emperors were so divided and that their relationships were so complicated.

He could sense the sincerity behind Dazzling Silver's words. But he did not require her sincerity.

"I have no issues with you taking me to the Deep Chasm Sea Eye, but I already said that I want to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye myself and that I don't need your help. I don't like it when others interfere with my decision."

Lin Yuan swam out of the hall with a swish of his tail. He was trying to use this action to signal to Dazzling Silver to hurry and lead the way.

Lin Yuan's previous rejection could be seen as him trying to put up a strong front. But now that he had strongly rejected them again, it was clear that this was truly how he felt. He really did not need help from anyone else!

Dazzling Silver quickly flapped her silver tail twice in order to catch up with Lin Yuan. She looked calmly into his eyes and said, "I respect your decision. I hope you make it out safely. Since you want to try to enter the Deep Chasm Sea Eye yourself, I will stand guard outside to ensure that you remain undisturbed."

Lin Yuan's lips curled. That would be the best scenario!

The last thing that Lin Yuan wanted was to be disturbed while he was in the Deep Chasm Sea Eye.

Otherwise, he would not be able to summon Green Vine and instruct it to use Entire Body Medium to form the full image of that lifeform that had surpassed the Samsara Realm. The lifeform would have the chance to unleash its might on the world again.

Red Beauty and White Brocade hurriedly followed as well.

White Brocade said to Lin Yuan, "Red Beauty and I will also stand guard. If you succeed, you will bring glory to the mermaids. If you fail, we'll be able to treat your wounds as soon as possible. There is a mountain about 30 leagues away from the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. One must pass it to reach the Deep Chasm Sea Eye. We will await your good news there!"

After Dazzling Silver, White Brocade, and Red Beauty left, only Light Green Umber, Blue Umber, and Brilliant Gold were left in the hall.

Blue Umber was slightly stronger than Red Beauty and ranked fifth among the six emperor-class mermaids. Thus, she did not want to cross Brilliant Gold.

As such, Blue Umber remained silent as she expressed the same position as Light Green Umber.

Light Green Umber's bloodline had reached pinnacle emperor-class and was on the same level as Brilliant Gold. As such, there was no need for her to fear Brilliant Gold.

Light Green Umber looked at Brilliant Gold with a stormy gaze and said, "Brilliant Gold, do you remember what you asked us at a previous meeting? When did the mermaids begin this downward trajectory?

"At that time, we weren't able to come up with an answer. It wasn't because we really didn't know the answer but because no one was willing to say it! You eventually sighed and said the reason for this circumstance was that what went up had to go down.

"Don't you find that ludicrous? Ever since the first emperor-class mermaid appeared, the mermaids have been thriving. When did we ever show any signs of going downhill? Rather than saying that what went up had to go down, the mermaids have been on a downward trajectory ever since you started taking advantage of Dazzling Silver's feelings toward you and her power to grab hold of the decision-making authority during our meetings!"

When Light Green Umber saw that Brilliant Gold was about to protest, she cut off Brilliant Gold again. "Take in my words and ponder over them first before arguing with me. If you really have the mermaids' best interests at heart, you should be happy about Dark Blue's appearance.

"Why do you have such an expression hanging off your face? Regardless of whether his lifespan is coming to its end, we now have a seventh emperor.

"Brilliant Gold, I know what you're thinking."
