The Girls Are All Coveting Me-Chapter 400 - 336: You’ll Soon Know If I’m Dirty, Mentor

Location: Fallen Star Sea·Mermaid Empire

The Mermaid Empress slowly opened her eyes.

This Empress had a noble appearance and physique, at first glance you could tell she was a great beauty, but if you looked a second time you would find those beautiful eyes full of age.

It's as if a young body housed an old soul.

"Your Majesty, the Sea God Pearl has shown an anomaly."

"I know," the Empress's aged voice came forth, "The Divine War is about to begin, after nurturing for 7000 years, we've finally reached this moment."

The Fishman General hesitated for a moment and said, "Do we really have to send the Empire's treasure away?"

The Mermaid Empress smiled and said, "I know what you're thinking, why give our precious force to others when keeping it would better protect the Empire's peace?"

The Fishman General shook his head and said, "We also understand your reasoning, the King of Redemption said that, under an overturned nest, no egg is left intact, once the Era of Turmoil starts, no one can escape judgment. This war must be won..."

The Mermaid Empress sighed and said, "No, you still don't understand."

"..."

Seeing the Fishman General's helpless eyes, the Mermaid Empress smiled and said, "Sar, from the first time I saw you till now, how many years has it been?"

"Your Majesty, 1200 years."

"Yes, over twelve hundred years ago, you had just barely hatched from your fish egg, but do you know how long I have been sitting on this throne?"

The Fishman General was silent.

In fact, he did not know.

In the entire Mermaid Empire, there were few fish who lived longer than the Fishman General.

Perhaps only those who embarked on the path of eternity knew the Empress's age.

The Empress quietly looked at the Fishman General and said, "They say I have lived for 2000 years, that statement is true, yet also not true.

My body has indeed only lived for 2000 years, but my soul has been on the throne for 7500 years."

The Fishman General's mouth slightly gaped.

7500 years?

Even those old turtle demigods couldn't live to that age.

But 7500 years...this keen point in time immediately caught the Fishman General's attention.

"7500 years ago, wasn't that the..."

"Yes, I experienced the first Era of Turmoil, I personally witnessed demigods falling like raindrops, heard the howling of the Destruction Black Sun, and saw the strongest who ended that era, almost perished countless times in the chaos."

The Fishman General felt his heart stop.

The Empress had long been nurturing the Sea God Pearl, she said it was the responsibility of each generation of the strongest in the Mermaid Empire.

In the Fishman General's view, as early as 2000 years ago, the power accumulated in the Sea God Pearl was already enough to contend with a higher divine power.

He had more than once harbored ambitions of using this treasure to conquer the continent.

But after seeing the Empress's deep eyes, he instinctively abandoned this idea.

Actually, many in the tribe were puzzled.

Clearly possessing such great power, why hold back?

But now all mysteries were solved.

He said, his voice trembling, "So, the purpose of the Sea God Pearl is merely to give us a chance of survival during the Era of Turmoil?"

The Mermaid Empress nodded.

For the first time in millennia, the Fishman General felt suffocated.

7000 years of accumulation, yet it only granted a chance of survival?

And seeing the Empress's worried expression, this chance wasn't even guaranteed.

How terrifying must this war be to reach such an extent.

"Sar, you lead the way to the Ethereal Emblem, there are the bloodline kins reviving there, they are this generation's Sea Race destined for the calamity."

"Who is it?"

"No need to ask who, you will understand once you get there."

"Your command."

...

In countless hidden corners, something quietly changed.

Panic spread, preparations for war were being made.

In these circumstances, Chloe was on the way to leave the Land of Lawlessness when she encountered the arriving Elder Mage.

"Principal Alfredo!"

Chloe couldn't help but exclaim seeing the Elder Mage's white robe stained with blood.

The battle-hardened Elder Mage trembled as he saw the group before him and said:

"Damn!"

"..."

Everyone was dumbfounded, watching the usually serious Principal utter such colorful language.

The picture was too vivid to imagine.

Chloe smiled and said, "Principal, although we ended our study tour early, you're not planning to dock our credits, are you?"

Alfredo was speechless, "Are you kidding? At your current strength, how many teachers at the school dare to evaluate you? Just graduate on the spot."

Chloe stroked her chin and said, "How come it's not like in novels? In novels, even if you saved the world yesterday, you have to return to work and school today."

"You say the possibility of a day off is higher than attending class..."

"Alfredo, no swearing!" The Treasure Elf flew over and tugged at Alfredo's beard, "The children are still young, don't teach them bad habits."

Alfredo, schooled by his half-daughter, was left speechless.

[What part of them looks like children? Whose kids are all demigods and legends! Huh? Wait, why are there two Sequence Six?]

[Pah, having Sequence Six is logical, whose kids come out of the Maze at Sequence Four or Five?]

[No, damn, why is even the weakest Sequence Six, is this scientific? Is this magic? Am I dreaming?]

Looking at the principal, who seemed a bit confused and nearly pulled his own beard off, Teresa said with a dark face:

"Principal, your gaze is a bit too impolite!"

Laura didn't say anything, but a pair of metal wings appeared suddenly behind her: "Principal, maybe I can beat you now."

"Little Chosen One, ridiculous, ridiculous." Alfredo snorted coldly, "Try not calling those old guys from the Child of the Sun Chaser."

"Why duel when you can gang up?" Laura raised an eyebrow and said, "I heard the principal has 999 Hands of Destruction, I'll try to call 999 Legends to hold down your hands."

"That's going too far, girl." The principal shouted, but as he looked at the injury-laden little rascals needing help, his voice softened, "Go back, and I'll ask Mephisto to help you recover."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Tiffany and said, "Does Her Royal Highness want to use our teleportation channel to return to the Empire?"

"Can you help send a message to the Empire first, just to say we're safe?"

"In fact, when I saw you, I had already sent the message."

"Thank you, it seems this time I can visit the Ethereal Emblem and see the wonders left by the King of Redemption."

...

After all the commotion, everyone finally returned to the Ethereal Emblem.

The two students sent back to the Association showered Chloe and the others with concern upon seeing them.

But they soon dispersed.

Because Chloe and the others were just too seriously injured.

Even with Chloe's help in healing, they were fighting to the point of exhaustion. Sure enough, as soon as they returned, Principal Alfredo sent them off for recovery.

Everyone scattered in different directions.

In Chloe's ward, it was just him and Heisha.

There wasn't even a doctor.

Heisha smacked her lips and said, "Damn, Alfredo couldn't even bother to call a few youngsters over to help, leaving just the two of us to heal ourselves?"

Chloe reassured, "Mainly because it wouldn't help even if they came, given our situation. With resources, we can solve it ourselves."

In the entire Ethereal Emblem, no healers were better than the two of them.

If other teachers came, he'd actually find it more annoying.

But, at least externally, he and Heisha seemed to have the lightest injuries.

Of course, if one considers the actual situation...

"Tutor, how does it feel to break through as a demigod?"

"Not so great."

"I actually feel pretty good."

"Of course, you feel good, especially since I blocked so many attacks for you guys before. If it wasn't any better for me, then it's not fair to my depleted body, is it?"

Mentioning this, Chloe smiled awkwardly.

Heisha looked at him with a mix of anger and urgency and said, "All the foundation built up over these hundreds of years is gone, you know how heartbroken I am?"

Chloe retorted on the spot: "Teacher, you're only 30 years old."

"Shut up, if I say hundreds of years, then it's hundreds of years!"

"If you want to propose something, just say it!"

"You'll never repay the mentor's grace, come be my test subject."

"What are you talking about? I didn't hear you."

"Tsk, you clearly promised me back in the maze."

"Is that the point?" Chloe looked at Heisha with indignation, "Both of us are still healing, why bring it up at a time like this? Can't it wait until we're healed?"

"Hmph."

But Heisha was just playfully stubborn and did not insist.

After a long time, she murmured softly, "So strong, that White Bone Dragon Lord, it's the first time in years I've seen such a powerful being in the Saint Realm, I don't even know how we won."

"Indeed very strong, but mainly because it had accumulated so much."

Chloe was also quite helpless.

With everyone injured, this was already the best outcome.

Although Cedric didn't say it outright, Chloe knew that in Cedric's timeline, when they came out of the maze, they definitely had casualties.

Others probably couldn't hold on much longer before falling one after another.

After all... entrusting the children to the eldest to train already indicated the severity of the problem.

"Tutor, don't move, let me check your body first."

"You rascal, you fought even more recklessly than me, why are your injuries so minimal?"

"Because I'm strong."

"Strong my ass, if you were really that strong, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

"Bullshit, a demigod fighting a Double Saint Class Dragon Lord, with just slightly dirty clothes, isn't that strong enough?"

"Do you call this 'slightly dirty clothes'?"

"You'll soon see how 'slightly dirty' I am, anyway, you can't beat me now."

Chloe stepped forward and without a word, pinned down Heisha.

"You brat, don't get handsy."

"Damn, you're old, what do I care to get handsy with an elder?"

"Hell no, you even dared to get handsy with Nini, you talk crap!"

"..."

Chloe suddenly felt a bit guilty.

Thinking back, it seems like he really was inconsiderate quite a few times. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Especially in the echoes of history, where Nini cried her heart out.

"Alright, don't mention it, let me check, your condition is not good."
