2377 Emperor’s Partner!
This mermaid with a pink and purple tail came up behind Lin Yuan, bowed politely to him, and asked, “Hello, Lord Emperor. Welcome to Luna’s city. Your visit brings light to this humble dwelling! I hope you will take a seat in the palace.”
Lin Yuan saw this female called Luna with the king-class bloodline looking respectfully and shyly at him. He found this timid expression strange but was not unfamiliar with it because this was how the Goddess of Mercy looked at him in the past.
From the Goddess of Mercy, Lin Yuan had already guessed that mermaids with the mermaid emperor bloodline were extremely attractive to mermaids with the mermaid king bloodline.
Now, his guess was verified through this mermaid called Luna.
Normally, anything that was very attracted to him would appear to desire him rather than fear him.
Clearly, the Goddess of Mercy was greedy and ruled by desire.
If she encountered something that she wanted, there was no way that the Goddess of Mercy would do anything other than everything she could to get her hands on it.
Although the Goddess of Mercy was on good terms with Lin Yuan and had used various methods to get on his good side, she was still very cruel at heart.
She had used force and savage techniques to obtain the 100 units of pure fairy bloodline.
Hence, if the Goddess of Mercy was attracted by his mermaid emperor bloodline, her usual style would be to treat him the same way she did to obtain the fairy bloodlines.
However, the Goddess of Mercy did not do so.
Lin Yuan now felt that he could try obtaining answers from Luna.
Luna’s reaction to him showed that the mermaids of lower bloodlines had absolute respect for those of more elite bloodlines. Furthermore, the mermaids with more elite bloodlines usually did not do anything that harmed inferior mermaids.
Otherwise, the Turning Wheel Realm Luna should be terrified after sensing Eternal Source’s aura rather than standing so brazenly next to him like she was doing now.
With Eternal Source’s power, it would be easy for him to kill Luna.
Luna’s reaction was enough to give Lin Yuan a broad sense of how the mermaid society worked.
If the mermaid society was truly like how it was being presented now, it could be said that the mermaid world was fairer and had more trust than the human world.
Lin Yuan remembered Extreme Ocean mentioning that Mermaid Forbidden Sea had five emperors.
As a Turning Wheel Realm Dictator, Luna had to have seen the five Samsara Realm mermaids with the mermaid emperor bloodline before.
Lin Yuan was not one of the five emperors, yet Luna did not seem floored.
This could be the key issue.
Luna was not surprised to encounter another mermaid with the mermaid emperor bloodline in Mermaid Forbidden Sea, as it was possible that there were actually more than five mermaids possessing this rare bloodline. Alternatively, the mermaids with the mermaid king bloodline might not harbor any malicious intentions when encountering mermaids from the mermaid emperor bloodline.
Lin Yuan felt that the first possibility was unlikely.
If there were truly so many mermaids with the mermaid emperor bloodline, Mermaid Forbidden Sea would be much more powerful than Grace Sacred Hall. If that were the case, Mermaid Forbidden Sea would already have completely beaten Grace Sacred Hall down instead of both continuing to compete for authority.
Mermaids had very strong territorial awareness and needed a large territory to raise their mood.
This was very similar to when humans were enthusiastic about decorating the rooms in their big houses.
The king-class mermaids did not have their guards up against emperor-class mermaids at all.
This caused Lin Yuan to become curious about how emperor-class mermaids would react to mermaids of his level.
Soon, he arrived in the city where Luna lived.
The entire city was decorated exquisitely, and it was clear that every coral had been carefully made.
The molded coral resembled gems as they shone under the reflection of the undersea pearls.
Lin Yuan felt it would take numerous years or even decades to build a city like this.
After all, there were no lifeforms like the Land Imp in the water world.
Lin Yuan spotted a group of mermaids kneeling on the ground the moment he stepped through the door. It was clear that they were trying to welcome him.
Most of these mermaids dared not even look at him. Only a few of them, whose bloodlines were slightly above king-class, dared to raise their heads to look at him. However, once he met their gazes, these mermaids would immediately pull their gazes away and look down at the ground.
Frankly, Lin Yuan was not used to this feeling of being distinguished based on bloodline.
The lowest bloodline in Luna’s city was intermediate.
Lin Yuan felt affectionate as he swam around the city of mermaids. This affection was not because he had visited similar mermaid cities before but came from his bloodline instead.
Lin Yuan had only ever fused with Dark Blue in the marsh world to convince the dimensional lifeforms to acknowledge him as a Dictator. He always changed back almost immediately. He rarely traveled while in his merman form.
Swimming with a tail completely differed from walking on the ground or flying in the sky.
Lin Yuan suddenly noticed that with his contracts with the Source Sand and Dark Blue, it was as though he simultaneously belonged to the water, land, and sky.
As he continued to swim forward, Lin Yuan had no idea that Luna and the other mermaids kneeling along the streets who dared to look at him were all looking astonished.
The guess that Lin Yuan had after encountering Luna was right.
However, it was not true that mermaids with the king-class bloodline felt nothing for mermaids with the emperor-class bloodline. They did crave the bloodline, and it was an innate desire for king-class mermaids.
The craving could be described as the desire for courtship.
The best way for king-class mermaids to improve their bloodline was to earn the favor of emperor-class mermaids, as this would enable them to improve the purity of their own bloodlines.
Hence, all mermaids with inferior bloodlines became extremely tame and obedient in front of mermaids with the emperor-class bloodline.
However, only mermaids with the mermaid king bloodline could openly display themselves as bootlickers.
If Lin Yuan complimented any random intermediate mermaid, the mermaid’s position would be elevated to a level similar to Luna, even if Lin Yuan did not take this intermediate mermaid away with him. There was even a chance that in consideration of Lin Yuan, Luna would end up deferring to this intermediate mermaid in many matters.
This was because mermaids were faithful lovers. Once they chose a partner, they would never change their decision.
Once they decided on a partner, mermaid emperors would never part from them.
Eternal Source, next to Lin Yuan, was not a mermaid.
Given Lin Yuan’s identity as a mermaid emperor, it was extremely normal for him to have a sea beast by his side.
