I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1187 - 1087: The Root of the Problem

"What nonsense are you talking!"

Seeing her mother go further off-topic, feeling uncomfortable under the suspicious gazes of the Sea Race around them, Miss Salty Fish couldn't help but stomp her foot... twisting her fish tail, she spoke with a look of exasperation:

"Mother! How can you think of me like that? There's nothing between him and me!"

The beautiful mermaid woman heard this and pouted.

"Ha, when I fancied your dad, didn't I say the same thing to your grandfather? And what happened then?"

"???"

"In any case, give it up! You can find a man, but he is absolutely not suitable!"

Perhaps the argument had gone to her head, after explosively revealing some embarrassing history, the beautiful mermaid woman lifted her creamy white arms and made an "X" sign in front of her voluptuous bosom, then said with a serious face:

"Listen to your mom! This man is too lustful, you can't handle him! I'm telling you, love is all fake..." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Enough!"

With just a few words, the beautiful mermaid woman had forcibly shifted the issue from the destiny of the race to matters of romance, as Miss Salty Fish saw the surrounding Sea Race looking on with "sudden realization" "no wonder, like mother like daughter" gazes, she couldn't help but shout angrily:

"I'm not like you at all! It's because you always think like this, that's why grandfather dislikes you so much!"

"?!"

Not anticipating a sudden personal attack, the beautiful mermaid woman froze for a moment before her eyes abruptly reddened.

"You actually yelled at me?"

"I..."

"Boo hoo hoo!"

In the face of Miss Salty Fish's sudden expression, tears quickly welled up in the beautiful mermaid woman's eyes, and she choked while looking heartbroken:

"If I hadn't insisted on giving birth to you, would I have fallen out with your grandfather? You... and now you're using this against me?"

"No... that's not what I meant..."

Confronted with the beautiful mermaid woman's sudden tears, remembering her past kindness, Miss Salty Fish's heart momentarily sank, but she still protested:

"What I mean is, don't think of everything in that way..."

"If I didn't think that way, would you exist now?"

"I..."

"Boo hoo hoo, I've given my whole heart to you, I wish I could tear my heart out for you, and yet... you still despise me?"

"I'm not..."

"You are!"

"That's really not what I meant! I just want to reason with you, like grandfather..."

"Reason? If I had listened to your grandfather's reasoning back then, would you be here now?"

"..."

"Why aren't you speaking? Boo hoo hoo, now you don't even want to talk to me?"

What the hell!

Faced with the beautiful mermaid woman's childish yet highly effective verbal attack, Miss Salty Fish, feeling utterly defeated, instinctively looked over to Uncle Andy for some fairness, hoping he could help persuade, but then...

"I think... your mom makes some good points..."

Receiving Miss Salty Fish's pleading glance, the male sea sprite couldn't help but step forward and state his fair opinion, then swam over to the beautiful mermaid woman crying like pear blossoms in the rain, wanting to hug her waist... but didn't dare, wanting to offer her a shoulder to cry on... but felt embarrassed, ultimately only casting an admonishing look towards Miss Salty Fish.

"Wendy! You were a bit too much just now! How can you speak to Evangelin like that?"

"..."

You sycophantic fool! Deservedly, you'll never win her over!

Punctured by Uncle Sycophant's verbal jab and realizing it was impossible to reason with them, Miss Salty Fish angrily flicked her fish tail, swam away from the dock, entered the deeper part of the Tidal Realm through a sea portal.

After she had swum away, the beautiful mermaid woman sobbed twice more and then stopped her tears, with a face full of grievance she got up to follow her.

"Wait!"

Stopping the beautiful mermaid woman from leaving, the male sea sprite couldn't help but say:

"I don't think Wendy really intended it that way, it was just a moment of urgency... Evangelin, why not calm down here first and not go after her?"

"If I don't go, it'll be too late!"

After slightly sniffing her nose, the beautiful mermaid woman with red eyes shook her head and said:

"Wendy is heading to the Silver Coral Palace, she must be going to see her grandfather, his words are so harsh, I can't let my Wendy get upset, I need to go help her."

"..."

You deserved this too! Wait, why did I say too?

...

Instead of continuing to wrangle with them, it's better to directly go find grandfather to explain!

Unaware that after she left, Uncle Sycophant briefly awoke for a second, Miss Salty Fish pushed aside the guards trying to stop her, forcefully swam into the warm sea currents restrained by the Crystal Ring, stormed into a palace formed from Silver Ring Coral.

"Grandfather!"

"Hm?"

Upon hearing the commotion behind him, the elderly mermaid, with his hands behind his back observing the ocean map by the wall, couldn't help but turn around, his face showing slight displeasure as he scolded:

"Why did you barge in without letting the guards report? No manners!"

"Sorry..."

Seeing the elderly mermaid's displeased expression, Miss Salty Fish hurriedly apologized, then spoke:

"Grandfather! I returned after attending the Twelve Kingdoms assembly."

"I already know."

After glancing at Miss Salty Fish, the elderly mermaid said indifferently:

"Though I'm old now, I am still the Flowing Vortex Ancestor rivaling pillar gods, how could I not notice when you and Evangelin returned with such a commotion?

Alright, just speak out what's on your mind, did Andy's idea to join the Kingdom of Saio fail, or has your mom caused me some trouble again?"

"This time it isn't trouble, Uncle Andy's idea hasn't failed either..."
