2409 Who Made the Rule?

Luna looked at Lin Yuan and said softly, “Lord Emperor, the king-class mermaid you just met is named River Creek. She is the manager of Mermaid Forbidden Sea, who answers to all six mermaid emperors. When the six mermaid emperors don’t have time to tend to affairs, River Creek manages every matter in Deep Chasm Sea Eye. Although we are both king-class, I need to address her as Lordess when we meet.”

When she spoke, Luna did not try to hide her jealousy of River Creek.

It was an incredible honor to be picked by all six mermaid emperors. Luna was not alone. There was no single king-class mermaid who did not envy River Creek.

Lin Yuan nodded when he heard that.

While he had been traveling with Luna to the main district of Mermaid Forbidden Sea, Lin Yuan witnessed just how much mermaids with inferior bloodlines worshiped and adored mermaids with elite bloodlines.

He was a complete stranger to these mermaids. However, all of them were extremely respectful toward him because of his bloodline. Almost every king-class mermaid treated him the same way that Luna did, including the king-class mermaid named River Creek.

River Creek quickly returned to see Lin Yuan and said softly, “Lord, may I know what your name is? Please allow me to call you by your name. It will be my greatest privilege for your name to fall from my lips!”

Lin Yuan grinned.

“Call me Dark Blue!”

Lin Yuan’s mermaid bloodline came from Dark Blue, so there was no better name to call him by.

River Creek hurriedly said, “Lord Dark Blue, please come with me! Your blue tail is stunning!”

River Creek did not say this just to flatter Lin Yuan but because blue was indeed the most beautiful color in the eyes of mermaids. This was also part of the reason River Creek had caught the eye of the six emperor-class mermaids.

However, her light blue tail paled in comparison to Lin Yuan’s radiant azure tail.

It could be said that River Creek fell in love with the color of Lin Yuan’s tail the moment she laid eyes on it. She had never seen such a beautiful azure tail before, and there was no question that it was the only one of its kind in the entire mermaid species.

This was the first time that Luna was hearing Lin Yuan’s name.

From now on, she did not need to call him ‘Lord Emperor’ and could call him ‘Lord Dark Blue’ instead!

Luna greatly admired River Creek’s courage. It was likely that only one who received the favor of all six emperor-class mermaids would be brave enough to ask for an emperor-class mermaid’s name!

Eternal Source’s expression turned strange when Lin Yuan stated his name.

In all his time with Lin Yuan, this was the first time that he was hearing the name ‘Dark Blue’.

Everyone around him called him by the name ‘Lin Yuan’, meaning that was his real name, and he only came up with the names Ten Thousand Source and Dark Blue to achieve his goals.

When she saw that Eternal Source intended to accompany Lin Yuan, River Creek said apologetically, “Lord Dark Blue, only emperor-class mermaids have the right to enter the main palace. Your subordinate doesn’t possess the mermaid bloodline, so please leave him outside the palace hall. Alternatively, he can come with me to have a soak in one of the baths. The baths are extremely beneficial for sea beasts!”

Lin Yuan shook his head and asked, “Who made the rule that sea beasts can’t be companions?”

How ludicrous. There was no way that Lin Yuan would agree to leave Eternal Source behind while he went to see the other six emperor-class mermaids alone. Lin Yuan would not let his guard down just because of the mermaids’ attitude toward him.

He was well aware of how powerful he was. Without Eternal Source, there was no way that he would be able to defend himself with just Begin Lady if the other emperor-class mermaids decided to attack him. Moreover, he could not boost Begin Lady’s abilities like he could with dimensional lifeforms.

Even if he summoned Green Vine and instructed it to use Entire Body Medium, it would not be enough.

The most important thing Lin Yuan needed to do was to protect himself.

Lin Yuan’s question stumped River Creek.

She did not know who had made the rule. All she knew was that the rule had been in place even before she had been picked to be the manager of mermaids.

However, all the rules were made by the emperor-class mermaids. The emperor-class mermaids did not have much authority to change the rules that each other made.

However, River Creek could not casually bend the rules without seeking the approval of the other emperor-class mermaids because she worked for the six emperor-class mermaids and not for Lin Yuan.

Just as she was blanking on what she would do next, a voice said from afar, “Pinnacle emperor-class is currently the most elite bloodline achievable by us mermaids. His word is the law. River Creek, are you unaware of such a simple rule? Have you been with Brilliant Gold for so long that you now only listen to what she says? Are you going to ignore the others now?”

Cold sweat immediately started dripping down River Creek’s back. She knew who this voice belonged to.

Wasn’t Lordess Light Green Umber supposed to be attending the meeting? Why did she make the trip out here? Is she trying to meet Lord Dark Blue? Her bloodline has already reached pinnacle emperor-class. There is no need for her to curry favor with Lord Dark Blue!

Furthermore, the one who had recently interacted the most with River Creek was not Brilliant Gold but Light Green Umber!

Can it be that Lordess Light Green Umber is going to leave me in a tight spot so she can gain favor with Lord Dark Blue? I will be horribly wronged if that happens!

Lin Yuan could sense that this mermaid with the light green tail had a similar emperor-class bloodline to him. However, he got a strange feeling from this emperor-class bloodline.

It was not about the eliteness of this mermaid’s bloodline but that it seemed to only be rudimentary and lacked the nourishment of pure water-elemental energy.

If this mermaid’s bloodline had been nourished by water-elemental energy, it would be able to reach an even higher level!

Extreme Ocean had repeatedly brought up the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves to emphasize his efforts.

Lin Yuan did not think that the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves was anything as precious as Extreme Ocean made it out to be. It was just wine brewed from water-elemental energy that had 93% purity.

There was no way that Extreme Ocean treasured the Wine of Exquisite Water Waves for its taste. It had to be for its abilities.
