Chapter 580 - 378: I Won’t Marry Him
Mermaid Palace.
"Princess! His Highness Lin Lang has arrived!"
The Little River Otter shouted as it quickly swam into the palace hall!
Lin Lang and Sunlight Qianyu followed behind entering the hall.
Lin Lang saw—
The hall was filled with many people seated!
The long table in the center was also laden with fine wine and gourmet food!
It was very lively!
It seemed like a banquet was underway!
...
"Sigh! Another banquet?"
Still at the hall entrance, Sunlight Qianyu behind Lin Lang let out a gentle sigh!
Then she said:
"I hate banquets the most; I’m going to wander somewhere else!"
Without waiting for Lin Lang to respond, she disappeared outside the hall.
Lin Lang had no choice but to let her go.
He entered the hall alone.
...
"Lin Lang!"
Hearing the Little River Otter’s voice, Zhi Xi immediately stood up from her seat, looking joyfully towards the door!
Indeed, she saw Lin Lang walking in.
At that moment!
She disregarded everything, got up, and ran over, throwing herself into Lin Lang’s arms, she said coyly:
"You’ve finally come back!"
Lin Lang gently patted her back with a smile:
"I missed you very much."
"I missed you too!"
At the same time, Lin Lang lifted his gaze, scanning over the banquet guests.
Many people stood up as well.
First of all were the King and Queen of the Merfolk Race, Zhi Xi’s parents.
Of course, one could also say Lin Lang’s father-in-law and mother-in-law.
However.
They were acutely aware they had no right to be haughty before Lin Lang!
Thus.
They even proactively stood up, as if Lin Lang were their elder, warmly greeting him:
"Lin Lang, you’re here, please have a seat!"
The happiness on their faces wasn’t fake—
After all, they were truly satisfied with this powerful son-in-law!
But at the same time!
Their awkwardness when speaking wasn’t feigned—
They wanted to call Lin Lang son-in-law, but feared he might not appreciate it; addressing him as ’Sir’ seemed inappropriate!
So they could only call him by his name.
Lin Lang didn’t say much, just responded perfunctorily:
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Queen."
Then he let Zhi Xi pull him to a seat.
...
"Master Lin Lang, long time no see!"
After being seated.
The rest of the banquet guests also greeted Lin Lang enthusiastically, offering toasts.
They were not unfamiliar with the name Lin Lang—
The merfolk prince consort!
An extremely powerful human!
Their knowledge of Lin Lang was not only from his first visit to the Mermaid Palace where he publicly defeated the prince of the Flood Dragon Race, Ao Yuan!
News also spread about his subsequent interactions with the Flood Dragon Race.
What a coincidence!
Among the guests at the banquet, there were actually members of the Flood Dragon Race!
Lin Lang’s gaze swept over:
[Ao Yuan] (Flood Dragon)
[Combat Power: SSS]
[Ability: Celestial Phenomenon (Level 5); Dragon Transformation (Level 1)]
——
[Ao Ling] (Flood Dragon)
[Appearance: 9.9]
[Recharge: 0 times]
[Loyalty: 20%]
[Return Multiplier: 2000]
[Combat Power: SSS+]
[Ability: Celestial Phenomenon (Level 6); Dragon Transformation (Level 1); Ice River Ten Thousand Miles (Level 1)]
The prince Ao Yuan and the princess Ao Ling from the Flood Dragon Race!
When Lin Lang first met Ao Yuan, Ao Yuan was indeed arrogant and offended Lin Lang with his words.
But after receiving a lesson from Lin Lang, he became much more docile!
Upon seeing Lin Lang now, although Ao Yuan didn’t greet him immediately, he smiled from a distance.
Full of flattery and awe!
But that Ao Ling!
She still appeared quite unconvinced!
For instance, she was now glaring at Lin Lang with dissatisfaction:
"Why is he here too? How unlucky!"
...
Lin Lang didn’t mind the little girl.
Beside Ao Yuan, sat another mermaid princess, Zhi Xi’s sister—
[Qi Li] (Mermaid)
[Appearance: 9.5]
[Recharge: 1 time]
[Loyalty: 5%]
[Return Multiplier: 100]
[Combat Power: SS]
[Ability: Divine Water (Level 10); Holy Sound (Level 1); Illusion Realm (Level 9)]
"Why did the recharge count increase by one?"
Then Lin Lang recalled—
Zhi Xi’s sister was in a marriage alliance with the Flood Dragon Race!
Seeing Lin Lang looking over, Qi Li gave an enchanting smile and said:
"Brother-in-law is here, it’s been a long time!"
