The Ancient Sovereign

0However, they were not human, or rather, they were not human in the true sense, because their lower bodies had long tails.    

    

Through the clear water, he could clearly see that every Murloc had a huge tail in the lower half. Its tail was like that of a goldfish, and it had thick scales on it. Each scale was shaped like a prism, and was as big as a child's palm. Everyone had different colors on their tails. The woman in the middle had a crown on her head, and her tail was pink. The rest of the people had blue, light green and light yellow. In short, no one had the same color as her.    

    

When the woman was sprinkled with water, she floated motionlessly on the surface of the water. She closed her eyes with a contented look on her face, as if she was enjoying herself. In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed. The women who were sprinkling the water finally stopped. A woman then swam to the front of the woman and said, "Princess, it's time. Let's hurry up and start the ceremony!"    

    

The woman wearing the crown was called Qin Rouer, and as the eldest daughter of the Murlocs's patriarch, she had become the princess of her tribe. The princess, could only be called such by the name of a woman who was not the emperor. From a certain perspective, there was no difference between the patriarchs of the Murlocs and the emperor.    

    

Of course, there were some differences in the succession of clan leaders. It was not the imperial clan that was responsible for ruling the world. Only the descendants of clan leaders could inherit the position of clan leaders. As long as the patriarch felt that he was old, he could hold a selection to choose the man from Murloc who took first place and obtained the title of the number one warrior in the Murlocs. Once the old patriarch left, he could inherit the position.    

    

Other than that, there were many similarities between the Murlocs and the human race. The Murlocs was not what others thought they would be. Without a surname, they too would have their own lives. The woman in front of him was surnamed Qin. The Qin was Murlocs's number one family, and there were numerous experts there. She had already been in charge of the Murlocs for several thousand years.    

    

The girls followed the river and quickly entered the island with interest. Looking at the lush greenery around them, some of them could not help but exclaim, "It's so beautiful here! "If I could live in such a place everyday, how blissful would that be?"    

    

The woman smiled and said, "Although this place is good, it is too quiet. I don't like quiet places."    

    

The woman who had started to talk was not happy to hear this. She replied, "What's wrong with it being quiet? The tribe is too noisy. We can't even rest for a while if we wanted to."    

    

At this time, someone asked again, "Zhou Yu, why do you like quiet places! Isn't it better to live with everyone? "    

    

Zhou Yu shook his head and said innocently: "I like quietness. I like places with birdsong and fragrant flowers, but there aren't any in the tribe." As he spoke, he let out a faint sigh.    

    

For a moment, everyone lowered their heads as if they were thinking about something.    

    

After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Yu suddenly asked: "Princess, what kind of place do you like?"    

    

Qin Rouer froze for a moment, then said: "I don't care what kind of place it is, as long as it can be with the person who loves me, the person I love, where would it be different!" Her voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear. It sounded like a skylark, and after hearing it, he felt an indescribable sense of comfort.    

    

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed. Some of them had a hint of sweetness on their faces, others were filled with anticipation, and many of them had blank expressions on their faces. It was obvious that these people did not know what love was, nor did they know what it was like to fall in love. After all, they were still young and had not reached adulthood yet. According to the tribe's rules, they could not fall in love in private. Those women with happiness on their faces must have eaten the forbidden fruit in private.    

    

Here was a lake with a circumference of three hundred meters. The surroundings of the lake were overgrown with towering ancient trees, and the trees were luxuriant with leaves and branches, spreading out in all directions. Even if they floated in the air and looked at the island with the naked eye, they would still not be able to discover that there was a lake here. The lake was too small, but the trees around it were far too dense.    

    

In the middle of the lake, there was a small island, or fake mountain, because there were only a few rocks on it. Even if people stood on it, there would only be about ten people standing on it. In the center of the island, there was a ten meters tall statue. The sculpture was a tall and big Murloc, and he had his head raised as he looked at the sky. The fish in the sculpture was vivid and lifelike, and his eyes especially, were filled with complicated expressions. At a glance, he seemed to be thinking about something.    

    

Everyone swam to the beach beside the small island. Qin Rouer smiled sweetly and said to the group: "Let's begin!" With that, she quickly swam to the shallow water beside the statue and closed her eyes.    

    

The rest of the women stood in front of Qin Rouer, lined up in a row, and then closed their eyes. The crowd's voices became faster and more anxious, until it was impossible to hear what they were saying clearly. They suddenly raised their right hands, pointed their blue fingers at Qin Rouer and released a stream of spirit power.    

    

When the spirit energy landed on Qin Rouer's body, she closed her eyes. At the same time, she also said something in a low voice. A moment later, her body suddenly emitted a soft light. The light was once pink, it was very beautiful. The beam of light lasted for the time it took to burn an incense stick before it dimmed down, just before it was about to disappear. Qin Rouer suddenly opened her eyes, she waved her right hand in the air, and the light that surrounded her disappeared, and in her hand, there were many pink lights.    

    

Qin Rouer raised his hand, and gently waved his hand at the people in front of him, the flowing light in his hand seemed to have its own will and will, automatically flying back, then landing on their bodies and disappearing. Everyone took a deep breath of air and then opened their eyes, revealing faint smiles on their faces.    

    

This ceremony was very unfamiliar to humans, but to Murloc, it could not be any more familiar. As long as they did not die prematurely, all Murloc would experience this ceremony, because only after this ceremony, can they be considered to have reached adulthood. In the past, when the ceremony was held, only the tribe's High Priest would come. But today, the High Priest was unable to come because of the Princess being present with the rest during the Coming of Age Ceremony, so she allowed the Princess to lead the group.    

    

Because the princess had the same status as the High Priest in the tribe, she had the same rights to hold the Coming of Age Ceremony for others.    

    

Murloc could only be considered to be an adult after three hundred years of life.    

    

Once he matured and held the Coming of Age Ceremony, the Murloc would be able to have two legs and would turn into a human.    

    

In a sense, the Murlocs are monsters, but they are not." Demonic beasts could only take on the appearance of a human after they had cultivated to a certain level. The Fishmen, on the other hand, were different. They were half-human, and after three hundred years, even if they had never cultivated, they could still take on the appearance of humans. In addition, they also had a side that made humans and demon beasts envious and jealous, and that was longevity.    

    

Murloc's lifespan was astonishingly long. Without cultivating, living five hundred years was not a problem. If one trained, one could live for thousands of years. Not only that, they were naturally sensitive to water-type magic. No matter how powerful the water-type magic was, as long as they cultivated it, they would be able to become successful. Under normal circumstances, humans would not be a match for Murloc when cultivators of the same realm fought, and they might even be killed instantly.    

    

Of course, the heavens had given them an enviable side, so there was naturally something bad about it.    

    

Birth became the biggest problem for the Murlocs, and it was extremely difficult for them to have a child. Even if there was, it would take at least ten years, or even a hundred years, to be born. It's hard to have a child, and it's harder to have one, even if you're doing it every day. You can't have a next generation without a few years or even hundreds of years of hard work.     

    

Murloc was a kind race and did not like fighting. He just wanted to live a happy life that belonged to him in peace.    

    

After the ceremony was over, the crowd dispersed. Someone asked, "Princess, did you make a wish just now?"    

    

Qin Rouer blushed, then nodded, and used a voice that only she could hear: "I did."    

    

When the crowd saw the expression on the princess' face, how could they not know what wish she had? They all began to laugh in a low voice.    

    

Seeing that everyone was laughing at her, Qin Rouer pouted, as if she was wronged, and said: "You all … "What are you all laughing about, what's so funny …"    

    

Wang Yaner covered his mouth and laughed, then said slowly: "Princess, let Yan'er guess, I heard that you and Zhang Yong are very close in private, and that he had said publicly that he likes you, your wish should be to become her presence!"    

    

When everyone heard this, many of them revealed a faint smile, while the rest of them had looks of surprise on their faces. They obviously didn't know about this.    

    

Zhou Yu opened his mouth wide in shock, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Princess, what's so good about him? You actually fell for him."    

    

Wang Yaner frowned slightly, and said. "Zhou Yu, what do you mean by this? His cultivation has already reached the Nine Revolutions, but he is the person with the highest cultivation in our Murlocs. If the Patriarch decrees the selection competition, he will be the number one warrior. According to the rules of the tribe, he has the right to propose to the Princess. "    

    

Zhou Yu snorted, and said: "I admit that your brother's cultivation is high, so what, I do not care!"    

    

The relationship between Wang Yaner and her brother was obviously very good. Hearing this, Wang Yaner became a little angry, and angrily said: "Zhou Yu, it's useless even if you want to, my brother won't be interested in you anymore. What he likes is a princess after all." At this point, she still felt somewhat unhappy and continued to ask, "Just now you said that my brother was not good, then tell me, what was not good about him?"    

    

Zhou Yu did not answer immediately. She thought for a moment and said: "In terms of cultivation level, he is impeccable; in terms of appearance, there are not many that can compare to him."    

    

"If that's the case, then why are you still here?" Wang Yaner raised her eyebrows and said proudly. It was obvious that she was proud to have such a big brother.    

    

Zhou Yu gave Wang Yaner a gaze that said there was no need to be anxious, and immediately changed the topic. "Just this person's character, is already somewhat hard to accept …"    

    

Wang Yaner's face darkened when he heard this, and said: "What's wrong with my big brother, everyone in the clan likes him, but the patriarch often calls him over!"    

    

"Not bad, all men like him." Zhou Yu asked, "But what about the young women? How many of them like him? "    

    

Hearing that, everyone nodded their heads, obviously everyone knew that Zhang Yong was used to flirting with beautiful girls in private.    

    

Regarding this, Wang Yaner disagreed and said: "So what? The clan leaders and elders, which one of them is not a trio of concubines, it doesn't matter if they look for a few more women, as long as the person he loves is only one person. "    

    

Everyone nodded their heads, they also felt that Wang Yaner's words made sense, but at the same time, they looked gloomy.    

    

As long as it is a woman, who wants to share a man with others, who does not want to be loved by only one person?    

    

However, this was fate. Destiny was already predestined, and no one could change it.    

    

Seeing that the two were about to argue, Qin Rouer hurriedly stopped them and said, "It's getting late, let's go back quickly!" Without waiting for a reply, he swam into the river.    

0

    

Seeing that the princess had left, the crowd quickly chased after her.    

    

When they swam to the surface of the sea, just as everyone was about to dive into the water, Qin Rouer suddenly cried out, "Ah!"
