Chapter 354 He was too impatient to poison Jiang Chacha.
Shi Shaoqing nodded: "Alright, whatever decision Your Majesty makes, I will fully support you."

The mermaid queen smiled, tiptoed, and kissed the corner of his mouth, her hand touching his fin: "I know, I know you love me the most, and I love you too."

Shi Shaoqing tilted his head and rubbed his hand against hers with his fin, showing an intense attachment and infatuation, as if she were his life.

"Holy crap, no way?" Yan Yu, a canine fox-like half-beast male majoring in intelligence, cursed upon hearing the words and turned to Zhang Tingzhou, majoring in information, asking excitedly, "Did you hear that, Octopus Bro?"

Zhang Tingzhou stopped typing on the virtual keyboard, looked at him, met his gaze, and said with equal excitement, "I heard you, Brother Fox!"

Yan Yu immediately shouted to the outside world, "Sister Cha, Sui Xuan Chu, come quickly, come over here right now, quick, quick, quick!"

Jiang Chacha, Sui Xuanchu, and the others were in the hall when they heard him shouting, and they quickly rushed in: "What happened?"

Yan Yu excitedly asked them, keeping them in suspense: "After I met the Mermaid King, he threw two tiny listening devices on her. Guess what happened?"

Cheng Xiaoting kicked the stool under his butt: "Let's guess what. Just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush."

Huang Dazhuang chimed in, "Hurry up, stop being so mysterious! Believe me or not, I'll transform into a giant dog and bite you to death!"

Zhang Tingzhou grabbed Yan Yu by the neck with one hand and covered his mouth with the other, saying, "We two put Xiaomi listening devices on the Mermaid King and Queen. We just heard that the Mermaid King is a womanizer. He can't live without females for three days."

Jiang Chacha, Sui Xuanchu, and the others frowned as they listened: "That's it..."

Yan Yu struggled free: "Of course not, it's the Mermaid Queen. She used Sister Cha as bait to invite the Zerg Crown Prince Agris to the Mermaid Clan with a heavily armed super ship, so that she could keep Sister Cha in the Mermaid Clan as a humanoid healer."

Jiang Chacha and Sui Xuanchu exchanged a glance: "Are you sure the information you received is correct?"

Yan Yu and Zhang Tingzhou said in unison, "Definitely, we heard it with our own ears."

Jiang Chacha smiled suddenly, reached out and pressed her hand on the invisible earpiece in her ear. In front of them, she began to give orders to the artificial intelligence 380: "380, notify the 10 captains of the long-range ship and the star destroyer, and tell them that the Zerg prince Agris will arrive at the Merfolk in about 5 hours."

"Please have the 10 captains inform the 10 captains of the Great Western Kingdom and Chief Zhongli Mei, so that they can prepare in advance and clean and load their cannons."

AI 380: "Received, Commander, the notification has been relayed."

Jiang Chacha: "Okay, keep an eye on the situation. If there is any emergency, notify me anytime, anywhere."

AI 380: "Roger that, Commander!"

After receiving the information, the captains of the 10 ocean-going ships and star destroyers of the Zhenlin Empire notified the captains of the ocean-going ships and star destroyers of the Daxi Kingdom and Zhongli Mei, while expanding the signal search and locking range.

The Merfolk's six habitable planets, their cruisers flying in space, their space military stations, and their garrison stations are all within their coverage and strike range.

In the command center of the Zhenlin Empire and the Daxi Kingdom, 20 long-range star destroyers, 20 captains watched the signal wave coverage screens, aimed at their targets, and eagerly awaited the arrival of the Zerg prince.

Come on, as long as he comes, don't say a word, just fire a shot first, and we'll make sure he can't get into the Merfolk's planet.

Agris, far away among the Zerg, received a communication from the Mermaid Queen and excitedly rubbed his hands together, but he had no ships and no soldiers.

He found the Crown Princess Ases and informed her of the mermaids' invitation to him. He promised to keep Jiang Chacha and split the spoils with the mermaids.

After hearing this, Ases looked at Agris and said, "Are you crazy? The Zhenlin Empire and the Great Western Kingdom have sent a total of 20 ocean-going ships and star destroyers. If you want to capture Jiang Chacha in the Merfolk, you will need at least 20 ocean-going ships and star destroyers."

“You’ve come to me for help, brother. You need to understand that I’m just the crown princess of the Zerg, a crown princess who hasn’t even had a chance to warm up yet, and is being watched by countless other princesses.”

"I haven't inherited the throne, I'm not the Zerg Queen, I don't have that much authority to provide you with 20 long-range ships and Star Destroyers!"

Agris persisted: "This is an opportunity..."

Ases snorted and reminded him, "This isn't an opportunity to capture Jiang Chacha; it's an opportunity where you could accidentally die in space."

"You've fought Chongming, you've faced him face to face, don't you know what kind of dragon he is?"

"He sent his good nephew and Jiang Chacha to the Merfolk, escorted by 10 ocean-going ships and star destroyers. This is a tacit message to all the planetary nations in the M31 system: Don't touch them, or you will die!"

Agris quickly added, "The merfolk are also helping..."

Ases laughed dismissively: "Mermaids helping? Brother, have you been driven mad by that old dragon Chongming?"

"What help can the merfolk offer? Their weapons are the same ones we discarded 10 years ago."

“Every year, they offer pearls, rare minerals, money, and mermaids to our Zerg, in exchange for our Zerg stationing troops in their space and protecting their star systems from attacks by other planets.”

“You’re telling me they’re helping you? If they really had the guts to help, the Mermaid King’s reputation wouldn’t be so bad in the M31 system.”

"If they were truly capable, they wouldn't send hundreds or thousands of mermaids to the Zerg every year to be played with by some Zerg with peculiar fetishes!"

"But……"

“No buts.” Assis interrupted Agris: “Brother, you’re not allowed to go anywhere now. You’re staying with the Zerg.”

Agris stared at his sister, who had suddenly become ruthless towards him, and his voice slowly lowered: "Assis, Artuia and I have broken off our engagement, and I have requested to be demoted and removed from the center of power. The Queen Mother has given me 20 insect candidates to choose from."

“I don’t want to, Assis, I don’t want to, I don’t want to marry any of those female insects, I don’t like them, I still want Artuya.”

"The last chance to get Atuya is through Jiang Chacha. If we can get Jiang Chacha to the Zerg, Mother will be overjoyed..."

Ases interrupted Agris again: "You didn't cherish such a good female insect as Artuya. She doesn't want you anymore, and you're here trying to win her back."

“Agris, wake up! Even if you bring Jiang Chacha to the Zerg, and the Queen Mother is so happy that she re-allows your marriage with Atuya, Atuya will not be with you.”

"She has her principles and bottom line. She loves and pampers you, but you ignore her principles and bottom line, which is something she cannot tolerate."

Agris staggered back two steps and slumped into a chair, staring blankly at Ases. The resentment in his heart did not disappear because of her persuasion; on the contrary, it grew stronger, and he wanted to go to the Mermaid Clan and capture Jiang Chacha.

Jiang Chacha and her companions underestimated the Mermaid Queen's shamelessness. In addition to inviting the Zerg Crown Prince Agris, she also invited the leaders and monarchs of neighboring small planetary nations.

To her utter surprise, the leaders and monarchs of the surrounding small planets all declined her offer of help, even when she used ginger tea as bait.

It wasn't that they didn't want to come, nor that they didn't want to be treated; it was fear, genuine fear, of the Great Western Kingdom and the Zhenlin Empire's long-range ships and star destroyers accidentally clashing and causing their deaths among the merfolk.

The moment Jiang Chacha and Sui Xuanchu decided to go to the Merfolk, Chongming activated all the intelligence agents that the Zhenlin Empire had planted among the Merfolk.

He knew almost everything about the Merfolk, especially the invitations they extended to leaders and monarchs of neighboring planets.

Aside from handling his own political affairs and taking care of the cubs, his current focus is on the merfolk, occasionally sharing information with Zhong Lihe.

Time flew by, and five hours passed in the blink of an eye. To showcase the unique characteristics of the mermaid race and allow Jiang Chacha, Sui Xuanchu, and Zhong Limei to witness the stunning underwater scenery of the mermaids, the banquet was held at the underwater hall in the central city.

Inside the vast hall, the six pillars, inlaid with pearls, shells, and gemstones, glittered under the lights.

Inside the hall, one can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the deep sea and the various kinds of fish swimming in it.

Jiang Chacha and Sui Xuanchu, along with Zhong Limei and his group, arrived at the banquet hall in a grand procession, followed by dozens of guards from the two countries' offices in the Merfolk.

The Mermaid King and Queen were waiting for them, welcoming them, leading them, and introducing them to their six most direct descendants, as well as ten male and female princesses and princes, and some important figures of the Mermaid Clan.

Yu Xian, Yu Aiyao, Hong Ci, and a dozen other mermaids also arrived, dressed in formal attire, scattered in groups of three or five in the corners.

Yu Aiyao sat in a mermaid wheelchair, wearing a mermaid dress, like an insect in the shadows, staring at the mermaid king and queen and their child.

After Jiang Chacha, Sui Xuanchu, and Zhong Limei shook hands with all the princes, princesses, and important figures, they were led over to watch the performance.

The mermaid performance takes place outside the hall, in the deep sea. The male mermaid is shirtless and completely naked, while the female mermaid wears a beautiful pearl dress.

Thousands of male and female mermaids surrounded the huge hall, swaying their bodies, tails, and fins, performing in the sea.

The Mermaid Queen gave a look to the ten female and male princesses and princes, signaling them to stand next to Sui Xuan Chu.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the 10 female princesses and princes walked past, Cheng Xiaoting and his group of 5 stood with one person behind Sui Xuanchu, two people to his left, and two people to his right.

Sui Xuan Chu was surrounded by people standing tightly to his left, right, and behind him. To get close to him, one would have to stand in front of him, but he was looking up at the performance outside, so standing in front of him would be very impolite.

When the Mermaid Queen saw that the ten male and female members couldn't squeeze to Sui Xuan Chu's side, she glanced at them with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

The ten princesses and princes, both male and female, could only reluctantly step aside, not daring to even glance at the mermaid queen.

Zhongli Mei: "..."

She thought it was outrageous.

She's a grown woman, single, with some power, money, social status, and even interstellar status.

Sigh, the Mermaid Queen seems blind to her, insisting that her handsome sons and daughters seduce that little dragon Sui Xuan Chu.

What's so great about hooking up with a little dragon?
You have to seduce a mature bird like her.

No wonder the merfolk are so bad; they really have no sense of propriety at all.

Yu Xian and Jiang Chacha were standing together, looking up at the outside, when they were pushed aside by Yu Shengqian, the eldest prince of the mermaid clan and the queen's eldest son.

Yu Shengqian handed a glass of wine to Jiang Chacha: "Healer Jiang Chacha, come on, have a drink!"

Jiang Chacha looked over the wine glass.

In order to let her see his superior jawline, Yu Shengqian deliberately chose an angle to present his most perfect side to her.

He's got a partner, and he's getting on in years, yet he's still acting all innocent in front of this vixen. Does he think he's cool?
Jiang Chacha smiled, took the wine glass, and presented it to Cheng Linyue.

Cheng Linyue pulled out a poison tester and dropped it into the wine glass.

The clear wine in the glass changed color.

Yu Shengqian's expression changed.

Jiang Chacha, holding the discolored wine, glanced meaningfully at Yu Shengqian before approaching the Mermaid Queen and handing her the wine: "Your Majesty, please..."

Yu Shenggan quickly stepped forward and stopped him, saying, "Why did you give the wine I gave you to my mother?"

Ignoring Yu Shenggan, Jiang Chacha tilted her head and looked at the Mermaid Queen: "I am a healer, and there is another healer beside me. Any poison tester can change the color of this wine. Queen, tell me, will you drink this wine, or will your son drink it?"

Zhongli Mei: "!!!!"

Poisoning her? Something's up. Tell her unreliable, single older cousin.

Let him watch the show, think it over, and then just order the annihilation of the merfolk!

Sui Xuanchu: "..."

Did he drug his roommate, his future aunt?
It's really a shame to eat the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard.

Tell his uncle quickly, and have him write down the name of the merfolk in his notebook, and then wipe them out later.

The Mermaid Queen thought that her eldest son was going to befriend Jiang Chacha, so she didn't stop him. She never expected him to do this, poisoning her wine.

What Jiang Chacha didn't expect was that she had her attendant, a female, test the wine he brought her with a poison-testing agent.

The Mermaid Queen was so angry that her chest ached, but she still smiled and vehemently denied it: "What poisoning? That's not true. The wine changed color because of the temperature and the environment."

"Ginger Tea Healer, you are an honored guest of our Mermaid Clan. It is our honor to have you come to our Mermaid Clan. We would never poison you. This is all a misunderstanding. Please forgive us."

Jiang Chacha repeated the Mermaid Queen's words: "It's impossible to poison it, it's a misunderstanding. So, you're not going to drink this cup of wine?"

The Mermaid Queen smiled and replied, "If you insist that this wine is poisoned and make me drink it, I will."

Her implication was that she was being unreasonable, but since she was a distinguished guest, they accepted it even if she wronged them.

Jiang Chacha didn't say a word. She raised her wine glass, imbued with magical power, and smashed it down on Yu Shengqian's forehead, who was blocking her way.

The sound was so loud that it silenced the entire hall.

All eyes turned to them.

Yu Shengqian's forehead was smashed open, and blood and alcohol gushed out.

He clutched his forehead in pain and staggered back two steps.

Jiang Chacha stepped on the broken pieces on the ground, making a crisp sound.

As she shook her hand, she looked at the Mermaid Queen and Yu Shengqian and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, Your Highness. You said you didn't poison my wine, but my hand slipped and the wine cup hit Your Highness's forehead. I didn't mean to. You won't blame me, will you?"
