The moment Shen Tang teleported over, she witnessed the scene of matricide.
Her face turned ashen, and she shouted sharply, "Stop it!"
At the same time, she quickly gathered all her spiritual power to attack, directing it straight at "Jia Lan"!
The young man hadn’t expected Shen Tang to suddenly appear, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, soon replaced by an icy chill. "You’re awake, what a surprise."
As a member of the Royal Family with top-tier spiritual power, he should have been able to put someone into eternal sleep, yet he couldn’t even control a female.
The young man effortlessly broke through her attack, but unexpectedly, several sharp earth spikes suddenly emerged from the ground under his feet! Instinctively, he retreated a few steps, consequently releasing Jialouluo.
Seizing the opportunity, Shen Tang quickly embraced the seriously injured Jialouluo and retreated to a safe area.
Furiously glaring at the young man across from her, Shen Tang trembled with anger and questioned coldly, "You’re not Ah Lan, why are you doing this?"
The young man knew that since his identity had been exposed, there was no longer any point in hiding it; the two of them were destined to have a falling out.
Gazing at the female’s angrily flushed face, an inexplicable emotion surged within him, causing his chest to inexplicably tighten.
Realizing this emotional change, the young man frowned coldly, looking even more unpleasant.
Damn it, the remnants of that waste still linger in his body!
If he had known, he would have just killed her that night to prevent trouble!
His deep blue eyes flickered with a demonic purple-red, no longer needing to feign gentleness, revealing his true sinister and rebellious nature. "I intended to hide it forever, but it seems you’ve discovered... what bad luck."
His deep voice carried a seductive note, "Tangtang, you really shouldn’t have appeared today; I’ve been wholeheartedly playing that waste."
"Why not let me continue the act and be the Jia Lan in your heart?"
Shen Tang trembled all over as she listened, her eyes reddening, "What exactly have you done with Ah Lan?!"
"He’s gone."
"...Gone?"
"Or rather, dead."
"Impossible!" Shen Tang immediately denied it. She refused to believe Jia Lan would disappear; he must still be around.
The young man smirked slightly, "What’s impossible? That waste was too weak; I devoured him."
"What was so good about that waste? From now on, I am your Ah Lan."
His profound gaze fixed on Shen Tang, his voice carrying displeasure, "Am I not better? I am stronger than him and possess all his memories, able to perform flawlessly... At least, even you didn’t notice, right?"
"Get out! I don’t want to hear it! You’ll never be him! What exactly are you?!" Shen Tang roared hysterically.
The young man quietly looked at her, his gaze briefly sweeping over the seriously injured, blood-spitting Jialouluo. After a cold glance, he withdrew his gaze and briefly uttered, "Liu Ye."
Liu Ye—the name he gave himself.
Upon hearing this, Jialouluo felt a chill spreading through her entire being.
He abandoned his maternal surname, signifying a formal break and severance of the mother-son relationship.
Shen Tang naturally understood the significance, feeling indescribably complex. Despite being two personalities born from the same body, Jia Lan and Liu Ye gave people completely different impressions, entirely unlike the same person.
Coldly, she said, "You’ve been disguising yourself these past few days just to obtain the edict and assassinate Jialouluo, to rightfully ascend as the heir."
"Correct," Liu Ye admitted generously.
He should have acted sooner; the only thing he feared was the High Priest—the only power in the entire sea area that could barely restrain him.
Fortunately, the High Priest had now departed, and he had obtained the official edict, so there was no need to hide anymore.
As long as Jialouluo was killed, he could assume control and become the master of the sea area.
