The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop-Chapter 329 - 36: The Elf Prince’s Wish

"Changed, changed." Tianmiao waved her hand dismissively, indicating for the maid to take the dish away.

As soon as the maid took the bowl away, Princess Xi Ya arrived.

"My lord, is today’s lunch not to your taste? Just tell me what you’d like to eat," Xi Ya asked respectfully.

"Bring me that grilled fish from last time, and the sashimi from the time before that. Don’t serve me anything that’s still wriggling in the future," Tianmiao frowned.

"Yes." Princess Xi Ya agreed and turned to her personal lady-in-waiting, "Go and give the orders personally."

The lady-in-waiting accepted the order and left.

Only Princess Xi Ya and Tianmiao were left.

Princess Xi Ya looked at Tianmiao, hesitated for a moment, then said, "My lord, I know you must find me bothersome, and think of me as capricious, extremely foolish..."

"You have quite a clear self-assessment," Tianmiao sneered.

Xi Ya wasn’t angry at this but instead took out a ring: "This is what I’ve collected for you, my lord. It contains the largest pearls from our Mermaid Country, along with some very old and exquisite Gold Coins." Then she handed over another ring, "In this Storage Ring, time is frozen, so the items inside remain as they were, both when you take them out and put them in. It’s filled with various delicacies from the Mermaid Clan for your enjoyment, my lord."

It must be said, once Xi Ya returned to her senses, she was incredibly smart. Especially since she retained memories of the events that followed, transforming her completely.

After receiving these items, Tianmiao found Xi Ya much more agreeable to the eye.

"Tell me, what are you here for?" Tianmiao smiled, "The future Iron-blooded Queen."

"I am very grateful, my lord, that you allowed me to see those visions of the future. It prevented me from making a grave mistake, no, not just a grave mistake, but a colossal sin. I am very thankful to you," Xi Ya smiled, "It also let me prepare for the future. This time I came to ask you, in those visions you showed me, about the Sea Beast attacks. At first, I thought they were just ordinary Sea Beasts, but finally, I noticed something amiss."

"Go on," Tianmiao looked at the mermaid princess before her. Her talents surpassed those of her seven brothers, making her the best heir to the throne, not without reason. Aside from her infatuation with ’true love,’ her performance in other aspects was indeed remarkable.

"Those Sea Beasts eventually mutated. They turned entirely black and emitted a repulsive aura. What happened, do you know, my lord? I feel there’s something not so simple about them. Almost as if... as if they were tainted by something," Xi Ya mused, "I just feel they’re very dangerous, that they’ll pose a threat and harm to my people. I want to nip these in the bud." 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"It’s the Demon Clan." Tianmiao, quite unperturbed, disclosed this, "In the future, a race you’ve never encountered will emerge. This race is dark, filthy, yet powerful. They may even demonize some races, infecting low-level creatures and forming contracts with higher beings. Some of these beings will sell their souls and make contracts with them to gain power."

"The Demon Clan..." Xi Ya frowned, repeating Tianmiao’s words, "Selling souls to make contracts for power?"

"Indeed, this race... dark, cunning. If not taken seriously, they can overturn everything," Tianmiao whispered, thinking of the eastern Demon Clan. Such a negative species is impossible to exterminate because they exist as the shadow corresponding to the light; light and shadow will always coexist.
