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

Chapter 465 The Results of the Rebels' Approval, Mermaid Princess Cordelia

Jiang Yuxi's shining moment has passed.

Their positions have been moved to the bottom.

Replacing them were Natalia, the former princess of the sea tribe; Elena, the matriarch of the Aksu family of the Empire; Liang Ningyue, a top noblewoman of the Federation; and Alice Superstar.

Or rather, they were Miriam, Eileen, Liang Ningyue, and Alice. Although their faces showed panic upon arrest, there was no fear.

For them, even at this point, the worst they could face was life imprisonment. In fact, the Empire, the Federation, and the Sea Clan would have to find ways to expel the insectoids from their bodies and ensure their safety, while preserving their existing mental strength levels.

As expected, a few minor objections arose during the trial.

First, their respective families hoped to save their lives so that they could atone for their mistakes in the second half of their lives.

They were flatly rejected.

Frederick rested his chin on his hand, his red hair falling obediently beside his ear, his skin, recently pampered with skincare, was so tender it seemed to drip with moisture, and said softly, "Death is inevitable."

The orc representative from the Liang family slammed his fist on the table in anger, "These are noble A-rank females! Do you know how many warriors their purification abilities can save?"

The Mermaid King shook his head: "I don't know. S-rank females can advance through cultivation, so A-rank mental power doesn't seem that precious anymore."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The Liang family representative looked extremely grim, but he was unwilling to give up. "Even if S-rank females can advance through cultivation, not every female can reach S-rank mental strength. Even if A-rank females are no longer top-tier purifiers, they will always be the backbone of our interstellar beast race."

Shi Yuejin said innocently, "But just now, Lady Jiang Yuxi has already suggested that we can reduce the male's mental energy surge value through daily maintenance, early prevention and other treatment methods and equipment."

The Liang family representative said, "Even if they are not purifiers, their genes as excellent females should be passed on. Females born from A-level females are very likely to also be A-level females, and male offspring born from high-level males are very likely to inherit the male's talents and genes."

Jiang Yuxi gave a cold laugh, "Excuse me, but I think you're wrong. After all, these four are all infected with Gu and insects. Shouldn't you be worried about whether their offspring will inherit the insects from their mothers?" These nobles who only care about their own interests have always been the same. They only see the benefits and not the drawbacks, as if they are selectively blind.

Jiang Yuxi fell silent the moment she spoke.

The Mermaid King pressed his advantage, stating, "According to our investigation over this period, at least a million orcs have died directly or indirectly at the hands of these four female lords over the years. Miriam, also known as Princess Natalia, was used to impersonate a fake sea princess..."

Irene, formerly the matriarch of the Aksu family, used the guise of a charitable foundation to travel to orphanages on various remote planets, providing the Rebel Alliance with no fewer than 30,000 infant test subjects...

Liang Ningyue, a member of a collateral branch of the top noble Liang family, was found to have only B-level mental strength in her childhood. Later, under the guidance of Alice, she joined the Rebel Alliance, and her mental strength improved, making her an important member of the Liang family. Using her noble status, she arbitrarily suppressed and killed talented commoner females and cubs, and sent females who 'offended' her to the Rebel Alliance headquarters laboratory...

Alice, born on the planet Tianxuan... used her superstar status to attract fans and then sent them to the laboratory, where she harmed the most people, numbering over 700,000..."

It is rich in pictures and text, and also includes a video.

These are all documents brought back by their sea tribe warriors from the Rebel Alliance headquarters.

The Mermaid King's words were like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil.

[This is the so-called noble lady? She actually did something so terrible?]

[Over a million, a third of whom are cubs?]

[If this happened to a male, he'd be dead a hundred times over. Why does it only result in life imprisonment for a high-ranking female?]

[It's precisely because there's no death penalty for high-ranking females that they can act with such impunity.]

[No wonder. The orc next door said he was going to see Lady Alice, but he never returned. For years, everyone assumed he died at the hands of space pirates. I just saw his body, with only half a head remaining, in the video Lord Hilcher played.]

Miriam looked at the Mermaid King, her face contorted with emotion, the muscles on her face bulging and twitching irregularly. "Father! Perez! I've called you Father for decades! How can you show no mercy and try to kill me?"

The Mermaid King said coldly, "You took the place of my true princess and enjoyed so many years of wealth and glory that did not belong to you, and you even tried to kill my sea beastmen."

The female official who grew up with you, you made her disappear just because she was no longer of any use. And the three thousand sea tribe warriors who have always protected you, you actually colluded with them from within, faking an assassination to send them into the laboratory..."

"...You don't really think that after I discovered these things, I and the millions of sea creatures behind me will still allow you to live the rest of your life carefree in the female prison?"

Miriam was puzzled. "Father, those are lowly sea creatures. It's their honor to die for me..."

The Mermaid King gestured for his staff to come forward and gag her.

A clever sea creature beastman considerately gagged the four female ladies in the seats.

Now all they could do was make "woo woo woo" sounds.

A noble fan of Alice: "Stop! This is blasphemy and harm to Her Majesty the noblewoman! I will report you to the Female Protection Association and the Purifier Association!"
We, the interstellar beastmen, have no law punishing high-ranking females! Lady Alice should not be sentenced to death. She is such a kind, noble, and elegant female. Even if she were a member of some rebel alliance, she must have been forced into this situation. In truth, she yearns for sunshine and freedom…”

Before the fan could finish speaking, he was knocked unconscious by a "weapon" that seemed to have been shot from nowhere.

The staff member who stepped forward to investigate glanced at the "murder weapon" next to the fanatic. It was quite a variety of items, including gemstones, small pieces of wood, a necklace, and a dagger...

Looking at the large bumps on the face and head of the brainwashed fan, one can imagine how much force the beast used to strike.

"She probably fainted from excitement, she's fine." The staff member selectively ignored this.

The death penalty has been used before; back then... wasn't it the death penalty?

Is the death penalty really necessary? Do you know how difficult it is for us males to receive a spiritual purification from a high-level female? Why can't we spare their lives? Do you know how many males on the verge of spiritual collapse could be saved by these four high-level females?

The Liang family representative stated: "The Supreme Interstellar Law clearly states that high-ranking females are not subject to the death penalty! You cannot violate this law and principle!"

“This isn’t the first time a high-ranking female has been executed.” Frederick’s voice was soft, but none of the orcs who knew his identity dared to ignore him.

To prevent a certain male from repeating the act of blowing his head off on the spot, Shi Yiting stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Actually, the Interstellar Supreme Court should also be improved. I had this idea when I was in office." But plans can't keep up with changes.

Shi Yue followed closely behind his father, "I agree! It really needs improvement. The idea that high-ranking females can be exempt from the death penalty is simply the perfect source of evil." He did whatever his father said. The Mermaid King: "Vote."

A few seconds later, more than two-thirds of the orcs on the presiding and deputy presiding jury raised their hands.

Shi Yuejin immediately pronounced the verdict: "...Milian, Eileen, Liang Ningyue, and Alice are hereby sentenced to death! Their families will be punished as follows, with their family ranks reduced by one level..."

The moment his verdict was announced, the smug smiles on the faces of the four high-ranking females vanished instantly.

They dare to do such things simply because of this law and their status as high-ranking females.

As soon as the verdict was announced, ignoring all their sobbing protests, staff members immediately stepped forward and escorted them away.

【Aaaaaah! How is this possible?! Is the Supreme Interstellar Law really going to be changed?!】

[They actually actually gave the death penalty!]

[The death penalty for high-ranking females? How dare they do that?]

I can already imagine how many high-ranking females will behave much more restrained after this incident.

[And it has also implicated his family, partner, and supporters?]

[From now on, when choosing a female mistress, will there be one more factor to consider?]

Shi Yuejin: "...This session of the Supreme Interstellar Tribunal has now concluded. Thank you for watching."

Just as the segment was supposed to be ending, the Mermaid King suddenly spoke up, "On this occasion, I would like to announce two things to the entire galaxy. First, I have no offspring. Neither the real Princess Natalia nor the fake Princess Milian from just now are my offspring."

The second thing…

He stepped forward and took Jiang Yuxi's hand. "She is the true princess of our sea race—Jiang Yuxi, Princess Xixi. She also has another name familiar to the interstellar beast race: Cordelia. Thanks to the sea god's blessing, our sea race's pearl has returned to the sea once again."

"As everyone knows, when Princess Cordelia was born, she was designated as the successor to the next Sea Clan King. Later, due to the collusion between traitors and the rebel alliance, the little princess was put into a slumber for a hundred years, which also gave that fake princess an opportunity to take advantage of the situation... In order to protect Princess Cordelia, I had no choice but to lie and say that she was my offspring."

This is the third thing I want to announce: effective immediately, Princess Xixi is restored to her right to succeed as the next King of the Sea Clan. Regardless of whether I have any children in the future, Princess Xixi will always be the sole heir of our Sea Clan.

[The heir to the throne? Damn it, another opportunity to support Princess Xixi's ascension to the throne has been missed.]

At this moment, a male sea creature who had his bonus deducted a lot of money angrily posted this comment.

Jiang Yuxi was stunned.

Didn't we agree not to make it public yet?

She could easily imagine how much more exciting her life would become once this news broke...

The Mermaid King affectionately patted her head. "Don't be afraid. I just want all the beast races in the interstellar space to know that we sea creatures are your strongest support. And also to let those males who want to take advantage of you know that not just any beast can covet your mate position."

I heard that in just one hour, a large number of offensive online names have appeared, such as "Xixi's Little Darling", "SSSSS's Most Beloved Side Husband", "Xixi's Mistress", "Jiang Yuxi's Fiancé", "Principal Xixi Says I'm Her Only One", "Xixi's Little Darling"... a series of unsightly usernames.

The Mermaid King made up his mind that once he returned, he would have the clansmen in charge of the online section "fight fake news" 24 hours a day!
"Of course, if any family tries to use their power to suppress or force our sea princess to do something she doesn't want to do, they should think twice about whether they can withstand the wrath of our entire sea race!"

The Mermaid King spoke in the coldest tone, uttering the harshest threat.

At the same time, the golden announcement that had recently appeared in all orc terminals reappeared.

The announcement contained exactly what the Mermaid King had announced.

[Another golden announcement released to the entire galaxy...]

[A true winner in the beastly world. A true winner in the beastly world! I'm tired of saying "I envy you" already.]

[The holder of eight medals, the future matriarch of the interstellar richest family, the Elwin family, the future partner of the mysterious tycoon Frederick, and now also a sea princess and heir to the sea king's throne... By the Beast God's grace, is the appearance of such a female merely to highlight my insignificance?]

[...Have you forgotten that Princess Xixi has a poor fiancé from the countryside? No, how could he possibly be worthy of her? She's the future queen of the sea tribe! Who was so farsighted as to arrange this marriage for her?!]

[Damn it, I'm going to crawl in the shadows now.]

[Ahem, actually, it's okay not to be partners.]

[As long as it's my little princess Xixi, I think it would be an honor for her to raise her outside the home!]

[This is the first time I've seen the Mermaid King speak in such a long sentence...]

Princess Cordelia of the sea tribe... I seem to remember she was engaged?

【Hmm! I think I remember now too.】

“Perez, although Princess Jiang Yuxi is the jewel of your sea tribe, she was separated from her family by fate and grew up in our empire, receiving imperial education and now holding a position in the empire. She can be considered half an imperial citizen,” Shi Yuejin instructed, “Princess Xixi’s noble rank is immediately raised to the highest level…”

He announced it at an extremely fast pace, giving the Fish King no chance to refuse.

Perez: Treacherous and deceitful!

A mere top-tier noblewoman dares to dream of becoming the future queen of the sea tribe.
Leviathan wanted to follow suit.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted in unison by Frederick and the other two.

Frederick: "I declined, the Federation is too chaotic."

Hilcher: "The Federation's top nobles are too restrictive."

Poor fiancé: "Get out!"
