MEIWITA Chapter 778: This King is Truly Overwhelmed with Flattery

---

Lou Mu Yan looked at Lan Si with a meaningful half-smile.

Since her mother appeared from behind the screen, she could tell that there must be Fox Lan’s involvement.

It was just that she didn’t know how her mother came to the Southern Sea, and whether she knew that her father was detained by the Second Princess or not to begin with.

Lan Si’s expression didn’t change, and the playfulness in his eyes grew, “Little Yan’er is still as ‘eloquent’ as ever!”

Lou Mu Yan was also not polite and accepted it as it was: “Southern Sea King overpraises, thank you for the compliment.”

A faint sense of helplessness rose in Lan Si’s heart. As expected of the Little Fox he fancied, always making others not know what to do with her.

“It was all just a farce right now, everyone continue to enjoy the Seastar Fruit.”

Lan Si’s understatement gave all the sea race present a common understanding that the relationship between this human woman and their King was definitely not normal, otherwise it wasn’t his style to minimise the matter of killing the Second Princess in public.

Although the people of the Western Sea were very happy that the Second Princess was killed for no reason, but they couldn’t show it on the surface.

The Fourth Prince of the Western Sea thought a bit, then saluted Lan Si with some respect and said: “Southern Sea King, Second Elder Sister is the most beloved daughter of Emperor Father. She was killed by the people of the humans just like this, we won’t be able to explain it after returning!”

He didn’t mean to trouble Lan Si nor Lou Mu Yan and the others. He just wanted to take advantage of this incident to gain some benefits from the Southern Sea, and at the same time, shirk the responsibility of them not helping when the Second Princess died. As long as the Southern Sea King came forward, his Emperor Father wouldn’t stand up for a dead and worthless daughter.

Lan Si shook the wine glass in his hand and said with a chuckle after a while: “The Second Princess dared to be presumptuous in this King’s Seastar Banquet, so she deserved to die. This King will explain this matter to the Western Sea King.

“As such, thank you Southern Sea King.” Hearing Lan Si’s strong tone, the Fourth Prince dared not say anymore.

Today, it seemed that the Southern Sea King was going to protect the murderers from the human race to the end.

Lan Si was quite satisfied with the understanding of the princes of the Western Sea, so he ordered someone to give them a pot of treasured grade 9 spiritual wine each. They were overjoyed and thanked them again.

The Second Princess had built up a lot of power in the Western Sea in private, which posed a great threat to the future throne. Now that she had died like this, the princes were secretly relieved and grateful—otherwise, if they’d have to deal with a full-fledged Second Princess in the future, they didn’t know how much they’d lose.

Therefore, the several people felt that Lou Mu Yan’s family were particularly pleasing to the eyes. After returning, they even told the Western Sea King about the fact that the Second Princess had snatched a certain someone’s father and husband—with exaggerations—and took the opportunity to divide up the Second Princess’s sphere of influence.

The Western Sea King also secretly hated his daughter for being so disappointing and shameful. Coupled with Lan Si’s attitude and the fact that the people involved in killing the Second Princess wasn’t only the Crown Prince of the Northern Sea, but also the Hidden Master’s direct disciple and Emperor Ming’s son, he naturally wouldn’t offend three huge forces for a lost daughter who was dispensable.

Of course, this was all afterwards.

Lou Mo Yu and Feng Yue Xin had their seating rearranged by Lan Si, and the banquet continued.

After tasting the Seastar Banquet, there was a free exchange ball. The attendants of the Southern Sea quickly rearranged the hall.

All the major forces present and people from the three great seas could freely stand and chat with each other with wine glasses in hand, which was also a highlight of the Seastar Banquet.

In the centre of the hall, there were beauties from the sea race singing and dancing, but not many people really appreciated the dances. Many clans also took advantage of this banquet to discuss important matters.

In the past, the Southern Sea King would leave when the ball started, but today, he stood up and walked to chat with Lou Mu Yan and the others, which surprised all the sea race.

They even pricked up their ears and focused their attention there, wanting to hear what kind of relationship they have.

Compared to the joy of the several princes of the Western Sea having their serious problem solved, the mood of the Eastern Sea wasn’t so good.

The veiled face of the Fifth Princess of the Eastern Sea was filled with coldness. She came this time to attract Lan Si’s attention to herself, then push the marriage union between the Eastern Sea and the Southern Sea. She was bound to win the position of Lan Si’s official wife.

It was just that she hadn’t even attracted Lan Si’s attention yet, and all plans were destroyed by that family.

Lan Si even possessed a different attitude towards that human woman, and she secretly hated. Her mind was constantly turning, trying to figure out how to capture Lan Si’s attention again.

“Fifth Younger Sister, everything still needs to be done step by step, don’t follow in the old path of the Second Princess of the Western Sea.” The Crown Prince of the Southern Sea’s eyes were dark, and he approached the Fifth Princess and whispered.

Whether they could unify through marriage had little effect on helping him, but if they offended Lan Si, then it’d be very bad.

The Fifth Princess froze, then sighed and replied: “Yes.”

The people of the Eastern Sea all had different thoughts, and Lou Mu Yan was also guessing Fox Lan’s purpose.

“Mother, how did you come to the Southern Sea?” She asked Feng Yue Xin telepathically.

Feng Yue Xin also discovered that there seemed to be an unusual relationship between her daughter and the Southern Sea King, and she didn’t hide it, “I received a message that your father was snatched by the Second Princess of the Western Sea to become her husband, so I rushed over immediately.

“As soon as I arrived at the Southern Sea yesterday, I was invited to the palace by Lan Si. He said that today, we’ll have a family reunion.” Feng Yue Xin pondered a bit, then said: “I really can’t understand his purpose, but this matter involves your father and you siblings, so even if there’s a trap ahead, I must jump in.”

It was just that now it seemed that Lan Si designed this plan not for them at all, but purely for her daughter.

“Be careful of Lan Si, he always gives people an unfathomable feeling.”

“Alright! I’ll pay attention.” Lou Mu Yan thought for a bit, then said: “Mother, after the Seastar Banquet is over, you and father should leave the Southern Sea first.”

“Aren’t you and Ming Xiu leaving with us?” Feng Yue Xin asked.

“We still need to make a deal with Lan Si.” Lou Mu Yan replied.

Feng Yue Xin knew that her daughter had always been rather assertive. She nodded and said: “Then you two be careful, your father and I will leave first.”

While the mother and daughter spoke, Lan Si also chatted with Lou Mu Bai, Ye Qing Han, and Ming Xu.

Discovering that there were no longer any mental energy fluctuations, Lan Si looked at Lou Mu Yan with a gentle and harmless smile, asking: “How does Little Yan’er have time to come play in the Southern Sea?”

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes in her heart—this guy really looked sincere when he was pretending. How could he not know her purpose of coming to the Southern Sea.

“I’m naturally here to find Teacher, you.” She smiled rather meaningfully.

The people who kept their ears perked up, paying attention to this side, were very surprised when they heard her words—they were very curious why Lou Mu Yan would call King ‘Teacher’.

There was just the right amount of joy on Lan Si’s face, and he blurted out rather ambiguous words, “So it turns out that Little Yan’er misses this King so much, this King is truly overwhelmed with flattery!”

In particular, the word ‘misses’ was emphasised.

His peripheral vision even scanned Ming Xiu and Ye Qing Han’s reactions, and he discovered that the two were very calm, so his thoughts changed again.

Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him angrily and said: “I do miss you, but it’s the debt you owe me that I miss and when it’ll be settled.”
