The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 230 Killing three birds with one stone

Seeing the expression on Shi Ruoan's face, Ling Chengen knew what he was worried about.

"You don't need to worry about the deal after we capture Maggie."

"Our goal is not to use Maggie to gain anything."

Ling Chengen said bluntly, "As long as you can bring Mei Ji ashore, you can hand her over to me, and I'll keep an eye on her for you!"

"Once the news of Megi's disappearance has spread, you can contact King Hypera and ask her to exchange the Ice Prison's servants for the item, and set a specific time for the transaction."

"This way, both the Hypola and the Baman snake clans will have their attention completely drawn to the disappearance of Megie."

"And you, you need to sneak up to the vicinity of the sea eye the day before the transaction, enter when the seawater is flowing back in, and come out as soon as possible when the current reverses."

"In this way, the goal of obtaining treasure from the Arctic Cave can be achieved."

Shi Ruoan asked, "But Hypola may not do as you expect; she might even tamper with the exchange."

"Let her move, can't we tamper with it?"

Ling Chengen's lips curled into a smile, but there was a hint of malice in his expression.

"I never expected this deal to go through."

Ling Chengen: "As long as Mei Ji is in our hands, it doesn't matter whether they use a real divine servant as a bargaining chip, or find a fake one, or even if they betray you. After you leave the Sea Eye, go directly to raid the Ice Prison."

Shi Ruoan asked in shock, "You want me to go rob them all by myself?"

"Didn't you bravely venture into Huangyan Beast City all by yourself?"

Shi Ruoan frowned and explained, "It wasn't just me; there were other divine servants, but they all died in Huangyan Beast City."

Ling Chengen waved his hand and said calmly, "None of these are important."

Shi Ruoan nearly broke down: "How can this not be important?"

"I have no inside help and time is limited. Going to break into the ice prison alone would be no different from courting death."

Moreover, most of the sea people recognized his face, but the orcs of Huangyan Beast City did not, so he was able to sneak into the city unnoticed.

Ling Chengen: "If you don't have any helpers, then find some!"

Haven't you heard the saying?

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."

“I remember you told me that King Xayya had three partners, right?”

“Mei Ji had several children, while Shi Panxing’s mother only gave birth to him.”

"But King Xayya's first wife gave birth to a prince, right?"

"The bloodline of the ancient giant?"

Shi Ruoan nodded slightly, understanding her meaning: "The eldest prince is Zhe He. He did not inherit the bloodline of the merfolk, but because of his royal status, he holds a very high and important position in the ancient giant octopus clan. However, it is said that he is currently imprisoned in an ice prison at the bottom of the sea."

Ling Chengen: "That's settled then, let's ask the Ancient Giant Zhang Clan for help."

"I don't believe they don't want to get their eldest prince out of the ice prison."

However, the sea market in September this year shows that the ancient giant octopus clan is having a very difficult time in the sea.

The interests of this tribe were exploited and squeezed, all of which benefited the later-rising Baman Snake tribe.

Moreover, Hypola has only just ascended to the throne. If they don't try to struggle and resist, they will only face even more severe exploitation in the future, and their lives will become increasingly difficult.

If Zhehe is rescued by them, their clan can also support Zhehe as their king.

This created a situation where it rivaled Hyperion.

After all, the concept of bloodline inheritance is no longer important.

Because it was Hypera that broke the precedent.

Otherwise, the throne should belong to Shi Panxing.

Shi Ruoan stared at Ling Chengen for a long time, pondered for a few seconds, and said, "What you said does make sense."

Moreover, Ling Chengen's move even paved the way for Shi Panxing's return.

Once Zhe He emerges, he will naturally receive the full support of the ancient giant octopus clan.

Haibola's reign was too short, and she had not made any significant achievements beforehand. In addition, the way she came to power was highly controversial, so she did not truly win over the hearts of all the sea creatures.

Furthermore, she has personality flaws; she is arrogant and conceited, and has a strong sense of class consciousness, which has offended many people both openly and secretly.

It's usually fine with Meiji by his side offering advice.

Losing Meg... is like losing an arm.

Hypola and Orihime are actually about the same strength.

If the two are allowed to fight each other, the North Sea will likely face a long period of chaos and disorder.

But this also has its advantages.

Sit back and watch the tigers fight, wait until they are both exhausted, then step in to clean up the mess.

The throne will eventually fall into his hands.

Shi Ruoan stared intently and said, "So, you plan to kill Mei Ji?"

Ling Chengen blinked and shook his head, saying, "I'm not that cruel."

Shi Ruoan didn't believe a word she said.

The young female before me, who was not yet an adult, was far more cunning than her peers.

The fact that she could come up with such a plan is enough to prove her exceptional intelligence and strategic acumen. "So, what are we going to do?"

Ling Chengen awaited his feedback.

Shi Ruoan put the cup in her hand aside, looked up and smiled, "What reason do I have to refuse?"

This is a three-pronged strategy that benefits him, Shi Panxing, and others.

No one could refuse it.

……

Because they were going to help Shi Ruoan do bad things, Ling Chengen and Ling Xiao decided to stay for a few more days with Su Weihua and Bai Qingyu until things were resolved on Shi Ruoan's side before catching up with the main group.

After hearing her ambitious plan, Ling Xiao couldn't help but twitch his lips and poked her forehead: "Aren't you being a little too audacious? You actually want the royal family of the North Sea to kill each other..."

Ling Chengen shrugged and said innocently, "I don't have such big ambitions. I'm just happy to help others."

"Just helping a friend and earning some extra money on the side."

"Father, please don't think so badly of me!"

Ling Xiao stared at her expressionlessly, and could only sigh helplessly in the end: "..."

I don't know how this child grew up, it just kept getting crooked.

She definitely didn't learn it from him.

They were all corrupted by those beastly men around them.

……

Chang Tianchen only discovered that Shi Lin's team was missing a few people after the team had set off.

He couldn't help but ask Lin Ying, only to learn that Ling Chengen would be temporarily staying in the far north.

Seeing Chang Tianchen's face turn ashen, Lin Ying wasn't intimidated. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about it. Our young clan leader is going to do something important. It'll only be a few days at most. With Bai Qingyu with him, they'll catch up with us soon."

Chang Tianchen: "..." He really wanted to turn back.

But when he saw the long line of people behind him at Snake Mountain, he used reason to suppress his agitation.

We cannot go back.

Although he didn't really care much about the position of clan chief or these useless clansmen.

But these people were personally trained by him, and he had to bring them back in their entirety.

Otherwise, Ling Chengen's impression of him will only get worse and worse.

After all, it would be difficult to impress Ling Chengen again simply by relying on his looks, superpowers, or physique.

It's clear from what happened on the Mulan Plains that she wanted to build the Stone Forest into a large tribe, perhaps even comparable to the Southern Beast City.

This means that Ling Chengen needs capable and responsible orcs to help her build and manage the orc city.

Becoming her beast husband is truly out of the question right now.

But they became involved in her plans and became her most trusted partner.

That's a goal we can work on a little harder.

Therefore, he must at least not disregard human life and act as tyrannically and bloodthirsty as before.

Controlling his behavior is not difficult for him nowadays.

The frequency of emotional outbursts is also decreasing, which is a good sign.

Chang Tianchen suppressed his inner turmoil, casually brushed Lin Ying's hand away, and returned to the front of the group...

The journey south from Shilin and Sheshan is currently going smoothly.

However, the situation in Amber Bay became extremely tense after they left.

Before the team set off, Shi Ruoan took Ling Chengen and her two beast husbands and left first to a cave by the sea.

This cave is located some distance from Amber Bay, between two Shanna tribes.

Because this coastline is not rich in resources, few people come here.

Sea creatures generally don't go this way.

Because there is a strong rip current near this coast, and the surrounding shallow waters are filled with a large number of poisonous jellyfish, it is very difficult for marine life to swim over.

The poisonous jellyfish posed no threat to Shi Ruo'an, so he used this place as their temporary shelter.

The rest he would have to do himself.

First, he needed to make contact with the ancient giant clan, not only to test their attitude but also to persuade them to help him and act as an inside agent and accomplice. On the one hand, they would create chaos elsewhere, and on the other hand, they would help him infiltrate the royal palace and quietly take away Mei Ji.

Shi Ruoan felt pressured, but that pressure vanished instantly when she actually met the patriarch of the Gu Juzhang clan.

The patriarch of the ancient giant octopus clan was furious with Haibola and Megi.

The ancient giant octopus race is actually very intelligent, but its combat power is slightly inferior in the sea, so its position is always somewhat awkward.

The sudden implementation of the tiered land-based market plan by Haibola disrupted their preparations for supplies and trade this year, resulting in heavy losses for their clan.

Even so, Haibola made them hand over even more supplies.

The coercion forced many of his giant octopus orcs to complain and cry to him every day...

Chief Gu Juzhang was already extremely annoyed, but he also knew very well that the root of the problem lay not with his own people, but with the royal family and the Baman Snake Clan.

Therefore, after Shi Ruoan made the suggestion, the patriarch of the Gu Juzhang clan agreed without much hesitation.
