Crossing the stars, I live-streamed my cultivation in kindergarten

Chapter 400 Negotiation
Ignoring Natalia's dissatisfaction, the Mermaid King forcibly confined her to her quarters under the pretext of "for your safety."

Then, following Jiang Yuxi's instructions, they secretly arranged various energy stones around the fake princess's palace according to a certain pattern. Next, they placed a 12th-tier energy stone in the groove of the array plate at the so-called "array eye".

He poured his spiritual energy into the array plate, and in an instant, the array plate emitted a wave-like stream of golden light under the sunlight.

Perez grinned and exclaimed to the Shadow Guard leader behind him, "What beautiful light! It's exactly like when Xixi's tail slapped the water's surface when she was little." He didn't mention her adult form because he had never seen Xixi's adult beast form.

The leader of the shadow guards wanted to remain silent, but...

The Shadow Guard leader is no longer the taciturn Shadow Guard leader he once was!

After losing the Shadow Guard leader's bonus for ten years, he has been promoted once again!

He revealed a fawning smile and obsequiously echoed, "Your Majesty, how can the light of a star compare to the brilliance of the moon? How can such a tiny glimmer of light match the dazzling radiance of Princess Xixi?"

Luckily, I did my homework beforehand, memorizing techniques for praising and flattering my boss, as well as useful flattery phrases.

Otherwise, we'll really be in a bind this time!

He really doesn't want his bonus deducted again!
"Although this array plate was made by Princess Xixi herself for you, no matter how I look at it, I feel that all the colors in the universe pale in comparison to Princess Xixi!"

After speaking, the leader of the shadow guards seemed to realize that he had contradicted his superior, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to refute you, I was just expressing my true thoughts! If you want to punish me for this, or want to deduct my salary, then go ahead and do so! I will still stick to my opinion!"

The leader of the shadow guards, with an air of righteous indignation, clasped his hands in a gesture of apology, but still kept his neck stiff, displaying his firmness.

Perez exuded an air of pride and self-satisfaction. He waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about the Shadow Guard leader's offense at all.

Perez: "It's not your fault. Blame it on the little princess being just too adorable. No beastman among our sea tribe can resist her charm."

“You know what? The last time Xixi appeared by my side, Grandpa Eisen only took one look at her before deciding to bring his medical team from the sea to take care of Xixi himself!”

Shadow Guard Leader: I know. Your Majesty, you've already nagged me 1,895 times!

Perez: "You don't know, do you? Of all the tribespeople, Xixi only likes to stay by my side, and when she eats..."

The Shadow Guard leader rolled his eyes: I know, this is the two thousand one hundred and thirteenth time he's said this.

Perez: "Also, you probably don't know this, but the first time Xixi met me in a video call, she called me 'brother'! She must really think of me as her real brother..."

The leader of the Shadow Guards followed closely behind the Mermaid King, and kicked the ground where the Mermaid King couldn't see him: You've said this 3,251 times already, I really know that! And isn't Princess Xixi calling you brother because you asked her to?

Perez: "...Whatever I want, Xixi treats as the most important thing."

For example, when the previous deworming medicine was ineffective against the advanced female worms in Natalia's body, Xixi immediately developed the top-of-the-line deworming medicine!

I knew it. Even without memories, the bloodline between me and Xixi made her naturally close to me.

The Shadow Guard leader quickly followed: Isn't it because Your Majesty is Princess Xixi's biggest client besides the Imperial Military? It's clearly all about the power of money!

Perez: "Xi Xi worked overtime to develop the insect repellent for the sea creatures, and in the end, she didn't even accept star coins, did you know that?!" Shadow Guard Leader: I know that too. Although Princess Xi Xi didn't ask for star coins, she certainly asked for plenty of energy stones and various rare metals and ores! You practically gave away all the treasures in your private treasury as extras! Don't forget, that 12th-tier energy stone you just used, you paid for it, then Princess Xi Xi had some magical lines engraved on it, gilded it, and then sold it to you at an even higher price!
……

And so the Mermaid King and the Shadow Guard leader conversed amicably until they arrived at the Imperial Palace.

Shi Yuejin: "This is a message sent back from the Zerg front lines."

Zerg Queen, Newborn Zerg, psychic hypnosis and control, transformation to create higher Zerg...

Perez: "The symbiotic Zerg's mental strength is so high? It seems that the newly born Zerg Queen has extremely high mental strength, possibly reaching SSS or even higher."

Judging from the characteristics of the pseudo-advanced Zerg that have emerged, the Zerg Queen should also be very aggressive.

Shi Yuejin laughed heartily: "Fortunately, Princess Xixi is here. The food, medicine, and defensive shields she makes are extremely effective..."

Upon hearing the Emperor's words, the Shadow Guard leader, who had been forced to hold two positions—the commander of the personal guards—was shocked, his pupils dilating in disbelief.

Oh no, the king is definitely going to start again!

As expected, after finishing their business, the two bigwigs started exchanging pleasantries between the two countries.

The Emperor said, "Princess Xixi is truly amazing. I never expected that she would have a way to help the female beastmen below break through the mental limitations and successfully advance."

Mermaid King: "My little princess is truly amazing. She was born with... blah blah blah..."

The Emperor: "Mermaid King, I truly envy you for having such a well-behaved, adorable, intelligent, beautiful, and sensible daughter! Unlike my stinky little rascal, blah blah blah..."

The Mermaid King quietly puffed out his chest: "Thank you for the compliment. The Crown Prince of the Empire is also very outstanding..."

The rulers of the two countries had a very pleasant conversation.

Finally, the emperor suddenly blurted out a sentence during the conversation.

"Your sea clan royal family hasn't had a princess for thousands of years. I was starting to think that the marriage agreement between our White Tiger clan and your mermaid royal family was going to be null and void!"

The Mermaid King's grin froze instantly.

Shi Yuejin said with a smile, "Once we wipe out the rebel alliance and the current internal strife among the sea tribes is over, and my little tiger cub returns from the battlefield, the marriage alliance between the empire and the sea tribes will also be put on the agenda."

Perez's face was frozen.

"Our little princess Xixi isn't even an adult yet!" That white tiger of the empire has been an adult for decades, he's too old!
Shi Yuejin laughed and shook his head: "It's alright, we can get engaged first! But as far as I know, Princess Xixi will be an adult in less than half a year."

The ice on Perez's face was dripping wet.

"Although this marriage agreement was made between the two countries thousands of years ago, what era are we living in now? Blind marriages are no longer common. Otherwise..." Let's just let it go.
