The villain daughter did all kinds of things

“Just now, that young lady’s personal maid said that the dangerous mermaid you’re looking for was actually taken in by Miss Yulia, and Miss Yulia and that young lady are in a relationship. That young lady was even jealous about it… This means that the young lady might not really care about the target mermaid, but only because of her girlfriend. She might even secretly hope that the target mermaid will disappear from her home… Uh, Commander, you understand?”

"Of course, do you think I'm one of those elves who don't have the concept of love and fidelity? We mermaids also pursue the romance and fidelity of love, even more so than you humans. At least, no matter what our status is in our race, we will only have one partner in our lifetime!"

Machira first glared at the mayor, then pondered for a moment and said:

"So, that traitor isn't really valued by that young lady? Even if I don't talk to her and just kill the traitor, it won't make much of a difference?"

"Hmm... that should be it."

The mayor thought for a moment, then nodded:

"However, it's definitely not advisable to kill that mermaid in a high-profile manner. Perhaps the young lady also hopes that the mermaid will disappear, but she is more concerned about her own reputation... So if possible, it would be best to let the mermaid disappear quietly."

"...So it's assassination? That's fine."

Machira snorted:

"I was born a soldier, and I don't mind using such methods for the sake of victory, as long as we can wipe out that traitor who colluded with the devil."

After making the decision, Machira immediately took action.

Since the mission was assassination, it would be inappropriate to bring a squad of merfolk soldiers with her. Machira left her subordinates in Sphingard to await orders, while she used magic to conceal her presence and quietly entered Locke City through the river that flowed through it.

Having been badly beaten up the first time for being too arrogant, Machira is now very cautious. After entering Locke City, she did not rush to take action, but chose to verify the intelligence first.

After all, she was a level 700 powerhouse in the original game, so Machira was quite formidable. She could see Shasha sleeping in Amelie's fish tank, blowing bubbles, with just a quick glance through the gaps between several buildings thousands of meters away.

It's her!

The moment Machira saw Xia Sha, she gritted her teeth, and an astonishing killing intent erupted from her body, which she quickly suppressed.

Yulia, who was fast asleep in bed, keenly sensed the murderous aura and immediately sat up.

"A bad guy?"

As she dressed, she tried to sense the source of the murderous aura, but found that she could no longer sense anything, as if the previous feeling was just an illusion.

After all, Yulia's current combat power is only roughly equivalent to level 300 in the original game, which is quite a gap compared to Machira. Even with her extremely keen senses, it would be difficult for her to detect Machira, who was diligently concealing herself.

Xia Sha also sensed the murderous aura. She woke up from the bottom of the fish tank, her face pale, and swam around in the water several times before jumping out of the water.

After embracing the Abyss, Xia Sha also gained the strength of a third-stage fusion mage. However, her original identity as a high priest was equivalent to an office job, and she was not good at fighting, so she was no match for Machira.

It was Machira who severely injured and nearly killed Xia Sha. If Xia Sha hadn't been lucky enough to accidentally enter the magic workshop that Uri left for Yulia, Xia Sha would most likely be dead.

Now that the shadow of death was looming again, Xia Sha could no longer sit still.

Of course, mermaids who embrace the darkness do not truly die; even if Xia Sha dies, her soul simply returns to the darkness.

The problem is that, apart from Xia Sha, all the other Abyss followers have already been killed by Machira and her mermaid soldiers in the previous purge.

If Xia Sha also dies, all the followers of the Abyss will be forced to slumber in the Abyss until a new Abyss priest appears to awaken their souls... but who knows how long that will take.

Therefore, Xia Sha absolutely cannot die.

"Still no news from Miss Marcy?"

Xia Sha's first thought was to hide behind Emery, so she anxiously asked Marcy again.

Marcy, meanwhile, continued to demonstrate her superb acting skills, shrugging regretfully:

"No."

Tsk, why did it have to be at this time?

Xia Sha was anxious, but she didn't dare tell Marcy or anyone else the truth. The only person in the house who could give her a sense of security right now was Emerald.

But now that Emery is not here, Shasha hesitated for a while before deciding to save herself.

"I can't sleep, so I want to go for a walk."

As she said this, Xia Sha quickly changed into her going-out outfit, transforming from an ornamental fish into a wealthy young lady who was not uncommon in the Federation.

"Okay, have fun then."

Marcy, of course, wouldn't stop her, but she did offer a word of advice:

"Don't forget to take the business card that the young lady gave you. It can not only help you pay for all your expenses, but it is also proof of your identity and can save your life in critical moments."

"Okay, I've got it."

Xia Sha nodded and hurriedly left Emerald's villa.

Yulia, who had been awakened by the murderous aura, also noticed Xia Sha's behavior. She even came out to ask Ma Xi about it. After learning that Xia Sha had just gone out for a walk because she couldn't sleep, she didn't think much of it and took out two boxes of desserts from the refrigerator to have a late-night snack.

Meanwhile, after leaving Emeryte's villa, Xia Sha hurriedly went to the riverbank.

Through researching materials and studying maps over the past few days, Xia Sha has actually planned out her escape route.

Going north along the river in Locke City, about 200 kilometers away there is a mountain range. From the caves in the mountains, you can enter the underground water veins of the Allen Federation. Then, going southwest along the underground water veins for about 160 kilometers, you can enter a saltwater lake in the Allen Federation.

The saltwater lake is not large, less than 5 square kilometers, but it is very deep, with the deepest part exceeding 1200 meters, making it a suitable new home for the dark mermaids.

Of course, the saltwater lake wasn't far from Locke City, which was one of the main reasons why Xia Sha chose it as her new home... Even if she left Emerald's villa in the future, she didn't want to cut off all contact with Emerald.

Originally, Xia Sha intended to stay in Amelie's villa for a while longer, waiting for the hype surrounding Machira's bounty to die down before leaving.

Just then, Emery suddenly went into seclusion to comprehend magic, and with danger looming, Shasha had no choice but to act ahead of schedule.

"...I hope we'll have a chance to meet again, Miss...I will never forget you. May the power of the Abyss forever protect you, making you beautiful and mysterious."

After muttering something that sounded like a farewell, Xia Sha prepared to enter the water.

But Machira had been secretly watching Xia Sha all along. In fact, the release of murderous intent earlier was intentional on Machira’s part, just to see if she could scare Xia Sha out of Emery’s house, making it easier to make her move.

Now that Xia Sha has actually come to the riverbank, and it's late at night with no one around, it's the perfect opportunity.

She wanted to shout "Traitor, die!" before charging out, but Machira held back. Almost silently, she rushed towards Shasha in the darkness, wielding her three-pointed double-edged spear and stabbing it towards Shasha's heart.

!

By the time Xia Sha finally spotted Machira, the two were less than 5 meters apart, and given the speed difference between them, it was too late for anything.

This is terrible.

Xia Sha could only watch helplessly as the spear tip pierced her heart, then closed her eyes and silently waited for her soul to return to the abyss and fall into a deep sleep.

But the expected pain did not come.

Just as the tip of the three-pointed double-edged spear was about to pierce Xia Sha's heart, a burst of intense golden light suddenly erupted from Xia Sha's body. Powerful divine magic transformed into an incomparably solid shield, blocking Machira's sneak attack.

The source of the divine magic's outburst was the name card that Amelie gave him.

...So this thing really can save lives?

While feeling relieved, Xia Sha also had a look of sudden realization, finally understanding what Marcy's reminder meant.

That wasn't all. After unleashing holy magic to form a shield, another figure-sized phantom of Emerald appeared above Shasha's head, hands on hips, glaring at Machira:

"Listen up, you little punk! You're destroying my private property! If you kneel down right now and admit your mistake..."

Upon seeing the phantom image of the figurine Emerald, Machira was initially quite nervous, but she quickly realized that it was just a projected message with no real combat power.

Even the divine magic that just erupted was nothing but water without roots; the next strike could easily shatter the shield.

Adding to the fact that Emery's bratty, arrogant comment made Machira snort with annoyance, and she swung her three-pointed double-edged spear to attack again:

"I'm going to damage your private property! What will happen then?"

"You'll get beaten up!"

Just as Xia Sha was about to use her magic to defend herself, another figure arrived even faster, punching the tip of Machira's spear.

The three-pointed double-edged spear, which was definitely a divine weapon, collided with the fair and petite girl's fist. Instead of gaining any advantage, it was hit and vibrated, causing Machira, who was holding the spear, to take several steps back.

Chapter 283 The Young Lady's Private Property Is Inviolable

"It's you?" x2

Machira and Shasha looked at the blonde twin-tailed girl with some surprise; it was Yulia, whose mouth still had crumbs of dessert stuck to it.

Yulia was also awakened by the murderous aura released by Machira and discovered that Shasha had gone out, but she originally did not want to care and went to the kitchen to find dessert for a late-night snack.

Even after the Emerald name card on Xia Sha's body unleashed divine magic, Yulia rushed over without hesitation, just in time to repel Machira's attack with her fist.

"Aha~~"

Yulia glanced at Machira first, then glared triumphantly at Shasha:

"I knew you were no good seafood, you wicked fish! You really are that mermaid on the wanted poster who colluded with the devil! I always thought you two looked alike, hmph!"

"No, I didn't!"

Xia Sha vehemently denied it, and quickly put on a pitiful look:

"I really didn't collude with demons! Julia, you have to believe me... We've been living together for many days now, have you noticed any demonic power in me?"

"That seems true..."

Yulia pretended to be thinking and fell into thought.

"Don't listen to this traitor's excuses, Miss Julia."

On the other hand, Machira didn't rashly start a war with Yulia, but instead tried to persuade her:

"You are the hero who protects Locke City, right? Then you should be able to distinguish right from wrong! Don't be fooled by the devil's sweet talk! No devil will admit to being a devil. This traitor's specialty is deceiving others."

"She's talking nonsense! Julia, you have to believe me!"

"Don't believe the devil's lies, Miss Julia!"

Machira and Shasha engaged in a heated exchange, each trying to bring Yulia to their side.

The chattering sounds quickly made Yulia give up thinking again.

"Aaaaaah...Shut up, all of you!"

Julia, like Emerald, put her hands on her hips and swayed her twin ponytails a few times:

"I know I'm not very good at using my brain, so I don't believe either of you! I'm going to solve this problem in my own way!"

"Uh...what method?"

Xia Sha suddenly had a bad feeling and quietly took a few steps back.

"It's very simple..."

Yulia suddenly smiled, clenched her fist, and her aura surged dramatically:

"I'm going to beat you all to a pulp and take you all home. When Emery comes back... she's smart enough to figure out who's lying!"

!

Xia Sha had already quietly retreated several steps, but that distance was still too close for Yulia's speed.

As soon as Yulia finished speaking, she appeared behind Xia Sha and chopped at the back of Xia Sha's head with a hand chop:

"You'd better fall down first!"

This chop was somewhat driven by personal emotion. The magic shield that Xia Sha used to protect herself was shattered in one strike, and then the chop successfully hit its target.

"Eek!"

Xia Sha, who had been hit, made a strange sound and then collapsed, feeling dizzy.

In fact, Xia Sha had not completely lost consciousness, but in order to avoid being beaten more, she decisively closed her eyes and pretended that she had lost consciousness.

"Well done, Miss Julia, as expected of the English... Ugh?"

Seeing this, Machira thought that Yulia had chosen to believe her, and was about to praise Yulia and finish off Shasha when she saw Yulia instantly appear in front of her and throw a punch at her flat stomach above her fishtail.

The speed was so fast that even with Machira's strength and martial arts skills, she didn't have time to parry with her gun.

But Machira is not human, but a mermaid, and her lower body is a fish tail.

It is difficult for a person's legs to bend upward quickly in an emergency to block an attack aimed at the abdomen, but a fish tail can.

At the last second, Machira swung her large, purplish-red fish tail upwards, barely managing to block Yulia's fist.

But Yulia's punch was not so easy to absorb. Even though Machira's fish tail had hard and thick scales, she was still knocked into the air and spun several times before regaining her balance and landing.

"Miss Julia, what do you mean by this!?"

Upon landing, Machira was naturally furious; the seashells that served as her undergarments threatened to fall off with the violent undulations.

"Hmph, I don't think you're any good fish either."
