Chapter 30: An old grudge
　　In the novel, the Asura and the Mermaid races were incompatible.
　　Originally, in the vast ocean, apart from high-level aquatic monsters, only the Asura and the Mermaid were sentient.
　　
　　As the saying goes, one mountain can’t contain two tigers, these two races are not moderate, nor has there ever been a third race that could form a three-legged stool to balance each other… Naturally, there has always been discord and friction from time to time between the two.
　　However, the most difficult conflict to reconcile occurred ten thousand years ago.
　　
　　In the war between Asura and the human race, Mermaid chose to aid the human race – which was one of the reasons why Asura ended up losing the war.
　　
　　The human race wasn’t hard to fight, but when they were in trouble, several clans over to support them! Even Mermaid, who was born in the same sea as Asura, helped others!
　　Because of other clans’ supports, Asura lost the fight, and Asura conceded the war.
　　
　　After Asura returned from defeat, the first thing they did wasn’t to rest and recuperate, but to run and take over the Mermaid’s area.
　　Nothing much, just for the fat giant spirit fish and all kinds of fish in the Mermaid’s area.
　　
　　…Aren’t you the one who was stopping me from stealing the human’s food?
　　Okay, you successfully stopped it, I lost.
　　
　　You think that’s all? Oh no.
　　I’m not robbing the human race anymore – I’m robbing you.
　　It’s not as good as the human’s food, but it’s better than ours.
　　
　　This will remind you to mind your own business!
　　
　　Mermaids were naturally angry, but after all, they were unkind to them in the first place, so they could only endure and not fight with these maniacs who were mad for food.
　　After all, they were desperate for food!
　　Mermaid clan is not a foodie….
　　It’s just fish, right? Give, give, give, we don’t want it anymore, we’ll get another piece of sea and build new clan area, what’s the big deal.
　　
　　–How can it be no big deal?
　　It’s a matter of saving face! It’s a matter of dignity for the entire Mermaid clan!
　　
　　From then on, the two clans had a fierce relationship.
　　
　　There were no big fights, but every once in a while, there would always be a small fight like that for a while.
　　It was mostly the Asura tribe that had the upper hand….
　　After all, compared to the fierce Asura race, the mermaids’ desire and their ability to fight were not comparable ah.
　　
　　This situation has continued until now.
　　In fact, the girl who had the best relationship with Zhu Yu in the Jiufang scum’s Harem was the Spirit Race Saint Maiden Ling Tao who loved her celestial aura.
　　And the one who had the worst relationship with Zhu Yu… was the Mermaid Race Princess Shui Lanli.
　　
　　True.. just one look at each other, they hate each other.
　　
　　Shui Lanli, an unconventional mermaid.
　　
　　Other mermaid girls in fantasy novels are either soft, cute and adorable, or gentle and tender like water.
　　As soon as there is something, they will blink their eyes, puffing out a piece of pearl tears. This was a precious and incomparable Mermaid Pearl, can be used to give the protagonist medicine or alchemy or something….
　　She sounded like Bai Ying’s upgrade, Bai Ying mk. II.
　　
　　Shui Lanli is different, she is an alien mermaid.
　　Her facial features are solid, she had deep, bold and unruly eyes, an extremely wild beauty.
　　Most importantly, she’s exceptionally unpretentious, she has never dropped a single pearl from her first chapter appearance to the latest chapter!
　　
　　Obviously a water user healer who is supposed to be delicate and weak, but she was equally good at fighting and extremely capable of fighting.
　　As a Mermaid, it’s really respectable and enviable!
　　
　　Someone in the comments section summed it up like this.
　　“It’s just the gap moe. Shui Lanli is the beastly faction of the mermaids, and Bai Ying is the teary beauty faction of the beastkin, nothing wrong with it, the contrast moe in the race is high ah deng deng deng!”
　　
　　That unconventional Shui Lanli had a loyal guard… the same Immortal that had seriously scared away all the nearby monsters before her princess took a dip in the hot springs and scouted to see if anyone else was nearby.
　　Its name was Shui Moran.
　　
　　Shui Lanli’s mother, the Mermaid Queen, adopted an orphaned daughter, Shui Moran, at the age of a hundred and gave birth to Shui Lanli at the age of a thousand.
　　It can be said that Shui Moran is both the young princess’ escort and the elder sister who watched her grow up.
　　
　　In the novel, Shui Moran only had a few lines of dialogue.
　　
　　“Skirt-chaser[1], stay away from my lady!”
　　The object of Shui Lanli’s anger while disguised as a human race touring the Shenlan Empire: the Jiufang Scum.
　　
　　“Skirt-chaser, stay away from my princess!”
　　The object of anger when the identity of the Princess Shui Lanli of the Mermaid Clan was revealed: Jiufang Scum.
　　
　　“Skirt-chaser, stay away from my queen!”
　　It was the target of anger after Shui Lanli succeeded as the Mermaid Queen: Jiufang Scum.
　　
　　Up to the latest chapter, Shui Lanli hadn’t formally entered into a marriage contract with Jiufang slag.
　　So therefore so Shui Moran could still be justified and open and righteous and tell Jiufang Scum to stay away from her number one queen in the world.
　　
　　The fire of loyalty burned purely and fiercely.
　　She was Shui Moran.
　　
　　As long as there was an appearance of Shui Lanli, Shui Moran was bound to follow like a shadow….
　　At that time in the comments under the article, so many readers wanted the master and servant to be hooked by Jiufang scum.
　　
　　And Yue Ge who could let her ego fly in the virtual network, spit out a lot of comments, sneered, and also click dislike one by one.
　　–This loyalty, protector of her Lord’s heart to the highest degree, how can it be tainted by the indiscriminate love of Jiufang scum who was stepping on nine boats!
　　
　　Then she was attacked by a crowd of readers.
　　Is the thread starter a kid?
　　Have you never read Stallion harem?
　　That’s what makes it fun! You idiot…
　　
　　Yue Ge sneered one more time, full of fighting spirit, clicked the report button one by one.
　　The site deleted these comments containing profanity-laced abuse, and it was quick to do so.
　　
　　—–.
　　
　　As Yuege used her spiritual energy to steam dry the water droplets on her body, her thoughts raced as she recalled all the episodes related to the Shui Lanli.
　　
　　In this compartment, Shui Lanli had had enough of ‘discussion’ with Qian Se and was weighing Yuege with renewed interest.
　　
　　“Little Asura Girl, why aren’t you talking?” She asked.
　　Yuege paused and skirted: “What else is there for me and you to say.”
　　
　　Shui Lanli looked thoughtful, “The thing that you want to know before, why not asking it again?”
　　
　　“Will you tell me if I ask?”
　　
　　“…Not really.”
　　
　　“Then why do I even ask?”
　　
　　Yuege’s face was inscrutable: “There’s nothing more to say as things have come to this. I still have an adventure to go through, so I might as well say goodbye.”
　　
　　Yeah I don’t know what kind of grudge you have against the previous body’s owner – it’s just a bad relationship anyway!
　　So we have nothing to talk about!
　　Let’s go away away away….
　　
　　“Adventuring, ah… that’s really interesting,” Shui Lanli not knowing what she was thinking about, suddenly smiled, her blue eyes showing battle intent.” Now that your cultivation is similar to mine, why won’t we fight again?”
　　“How about me coming ashore and giving you home field advantage?”
　　
　　Yuege: “…”
　　Where’s the fun in the adventure?
　　And why did you suddenly think of fighting men again now!?
　　
　　But she had to admit that the offer was fair.
　　There was no reason for Yuege not to accept the fight.
　　
　　Despite the fact that the Shui Lanli was the middle stage of Kong Ren, a few stage higher than Yuege.
　　But unlike the amphibious Asura, the mermaid was a pure aquatic race. If she wasn’t in the water, her advantage would have been greatly reduced, giving the attacker a greater chance of winning.
　　
　　Shui Lanli slowly came out of the water, the gradient-colored blue-white long tail gradually transforming into long, straight, fair legs, the wet mermaid robe only covering her thighs… she didn’t mind her looking.
　　
　　As she took out a silk hairband and tied up the damp silky hair, and leisurely walked towards Yuege.
　　With each step, the moisture on her robe and hair gradually evaporated away.
　　
　　When Shui Lanli stood in front of Yuege, she was already fresh and clean, with no moisture at all.
　　
　　The smile was unrestrained, and the eyes were lion-like and untamed.
　　
　　Despite being a little uncomfortable with this Mermaid, Yuege’s eyes were a unable to look away….
　　Ah, another gorgeous heroine.
　　
　　The result was that in the blink of an eye, she received an angry warning glance from Miss Loyal Dog.
　　Yuege: ???
　　
　　Shui Moran sneered, “Please respect yourself, Asura Young Master, and don’t be rude to my clan’s Princess!”
　　
　　Yuege blinked, suddenly reacting….
　　It’s still an easy scolding, and she probably mean: You dunce! Get your eyes off my princess’s face! You’re not allowed to take advantage and looked at her legs…
　　
　　Yuege kept smiling and looked away, unaffected.
　　Finally the escort lady stopped her death ray attack.
　　
　　Yuege could not help but laugh and cry.
　　…….So, probably the matter of her engagement with Zhu Yu has not been spread to the Mermaid clan.
　　
　　Let alone that she wasn’t a mirror grinder, even if she really was, it should be Zhu Yu she was interested in…….
　　
　　Zhu Yu is better, although she’s a facial nerve paralysis[2], but she’s sincere and cute…
　　When she eats expressionlessly is cute, when she shows how to do somethings expressionlessly is cute, and when she kill monsters expressionlessly is cute….
　　
　　Wait… Did she fancy Zhu Yu?
　　
　　Yuege’s heart moved, but before she could catch the slightest hint of what the strange feeling mean, she saw Shui Lanli across the street tilt her head and smile with eagerness to try.
　　“Strike immediately.” She licked the corner of her lips.
　　
　　Yuege immediately collected her mind, clearing her distractions, and said solemnly, “Start.”
