2575 The One Who Hit His Beauty Standard!
At first, Light Green Umber and Blue Umber believed Lin Yuan would give the mermaids preferential treatment as he possessed the mermaid thearch bloodline himself.
However, he did not do so.
Every Dictator from the dimensional worlds relied on positive rivalry. This allowed the mermaids to know they would have no choice but to work hard if they wanted to distinguish themselves!
The abyss demons had been the ones doing all the work in the Sand Island Continent. But now, it was finally time for the mermaids to shine!
Opportunities had to be fought for. Dazzling Silver, Light Green Umber, Blue Umber, Red Beauty, and the rest were fighting to obtain opportunities from Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan was very willing to give opportunities to his subordinates who made contributions.
Through this whole process, Lin Yuan could see the skills and talents of the various Samsara Realm Dictators. This would allow them to use them in the most efficient and effective manner instead of just fighters.
“Okay! I’ll leave it to the four of you! If you run into any trouble while trying to take control of the city, just let me know!”
Dazzling Silver and the other four emperor-class mermaids nodded seriously to Lin Yuan. However, none of them intended to ask Lin Yuan for help. If they asked help from him when they were supposed to perform, it would be the same as telling him they were useless!
Lin Yuan had so many Samsara Realm Dictators under him. If they showed any hint of being useless, how could they still remain competitive among all of Lin Yuan’s many subordinates?
Things might be different if this had been a task that Lin Yuan had given them. Instead, this was an opportunity that they had fought for themselves. They had to grab hold of it tightly no matter what!
With this thought in mind, Dazzling Silver and the rest said, “Lord, don’t worry! We will definitely be able to complete this task without any issues!”
The four of them conjured up water waves and rode them away toward the interrogation room.
Mermaids were adored by water and naturally had the ability to control water.
Thousands of streams of water that were as thin as strands of hair twirled into existence and rapidly imprisoned every lifeform in the city.
To Dazzling Silver and the rest’s knowledge, the best way to take control of an area was to kill all the useless lifeforms. This would raise the chances of a successful takeover to the greatest extent.
But Dazzling Silver and the rest knew Lin Yuan was not inclined toward killing. He would not take innocent lives lightly.
Lin Yuan had chosen the mermaids to deal with the people in the interrogation room because they had harmed his subordinates. He wanted to ensure their safety as quickly as possible.
Dazzling Silver and the rest understood Lin Yuan’s wishes, so they were very gentle with their actions. Their immense power meant that they met with no resistance. No one in the city in the Grotto Continent had the capabilities to put up a fight against them. The people they captured were not even able to break free from the strands of water, let alone attempt to turn the tables.
While Dazzling Silver, Light Green Umber, Blue Umber, and Red Beauty were taking control of Sky Bearer City, they were also using the streams of water to get a sense of all the leaders in the city. This allowed them to estimate the city’s overall power.
To their disappointment, they realized that the overall power of the experts in the city was very weak. Their strongest experts had not even reached the Dictator level.
The four mermaids were let down. They had not come all this way to show off their strength against weaklings. It had not been easy for them to gain an opportunity to perform, and they had hoped to show what they were capable of.
Light Green Umber, Blue Umber, and Red Beauty were much more indignant than Dazzling Silver.
Lin Yuan often used Dazzling Silver, and she also spent more time with him. However, it was difficult for the other three to even get close to him normally.
It had not been long since Red Beauty became a Samsara Realm Dictator. She badly needed the opportunity to demonstrate herself to Lin Yuan.
Thus, Red Beauty made a suggestion.
“When the four of us are interrogating the people in the city for information, we can do more based on the information we uncover. This will save us the effort of bothering with trivial matters!”
Dazzling Silver, Light Green Umber, and Blue Umber all expressed agreement toward Red Beauty’s idea.
While the four of them were fervently vying for the chance to perform in front of Lin Yuan, the latter sat on the floor chatting with Bei Xu.
Lin Yuan had already let Chu Ci and Wen Yu out of the Jewelled Cave Golden Toad.
Bei Xu sensed a very familiar aura from Wen Yu. It did not take long for him to link it to Libra from the Astronomical Parliament.
On the other hand, Chu Ci was very foreign to Bei Xu.
Lin Yuan looked like a father, while Chu Ci looked like a mother. But they also resembled each other. Thus, in spite of how foreign she was to him, Bei Xu still felt close to her.
Moreover, she was almost unbelievably pretty! Even the beads of sweat on her face hit her beauty standard perfectly!
Bei Xu could tell that Chu Ci was Lin Yuan’s sister. Once he ascertained that he was older than Chu Ci, he began seeing her as his sister, too.
Chu Ci was not the type to be afraid of strangers.
As she listened to Bei Xu tell Lin Yuan about how he had developed his faction and trained, Chu Ci realized that all of her hard work and the danger she had experienced could not come close to what Bei Xu had lived through.
When she trained with Cold Moon, her safety was always guaranteed. On the other hand, Bei Xu always lived on the brink of death and could only rely on himself and his feys.
As she listened to Bei Xu talk about his development and training, Chu Ci felt as though she was watching a thriller movie.
She deeply respected someone like Bei Xu, who changed his life using his own hard work.
Her brother had been just like Bei Xu when he ran a small store and provided for both of them.
After chatting for a while, Chu Ci and Bei Xu got to know each other, and she soon started calling him ‘Big Brother Bei Xu’.
Lin Yuan could not help but roll his eyes at this.
Chu Ci usually called Lin Yuan by his name. But now, she was calling Bei Xu ‘Big Brother Bei Xu’. The same thing happened when she became acquainted with Liu Jie.
However, given how they had grown up, it would send shivers up his spine if Chu Ci called him ‘Big Brother’ the same way that other little sisters addressed their older brothers. It would likely give him nightmares.
Suddenly, a thought struck Lin Yuan, and he asked Bei Xu, “Do you remember the flavorful food that Su Yiren, Yin Lin, and Luo Lan discussed in the Thoughts Letter Paper? After talking for so long, it’s time for us to eat something! Now, you can have the chance to taste food that isn’t found in the Grotto Continent.”
