Chapter 231: Chapter 229: The Secret of the City Lord Mansion

The Sea Witch continued, "If I’m not mistaken, this piece of stone from the cliff has lit up with the Divine Prophecy. That means all the cliff faces in Sea Cliff Valley must now be illuminated with the same words. The cause of all this is the birth of the Princess. The prophecy has been revealed."

"And coincidentally, Prince Cangyue brought the little princess back today. This verifies the prophecy; it is an undeniable fact."

"The little princess’s condition is not a common illness. Instead, just as the prophecy shows, her soul has already begun its sacrifice."

The Sea Witch’s last words struck Lan Cangyue like a sledgehammer.

He froze, staring blankly at Xi Xi on the bed.

The color drained from his face.

"Impossible. Xi Xi was just born. She’s so adorable... How could this be happening? Impossible. Absolutely impossible..."

He couldn’t accept it.

He descended into a panic, looking to the Sea Witch in utter desperation.

"Wizard, you’re lying to me, aren’t you? Just trying to scare me? This whole prophecy thing isn’t real. It’s just a story for children! How could there actually be a real prophecy?"

He stared at the Black Cliff Stone in the Wizard’s hand.

"This stone must be fake, too! You must have used some kind of Magic to carve the words on it, right...?"

Just then— 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Reporting, Your Majesty! It’s an emergency! A large patch of light has suddenly appeared on the Black Water Stone Wall at the base of Sea Cliff Nu! It looks like something is glowing in the black water—it’s incredibly bizarre!"

The soldier’s frantic report cut off Lan Cangyue’s words, leaving them stuck in his throat.

The Mermaid King and the Queen exchanged a look of shock.

’The Sea Witch was telling the truth!’

’Light appearing on the cliffs of Sea Cliff Nu... The Divine Prophecy must be appearing on the stone wall.’

They both turned to Lan Cangyue, his face ashen, their own eyes filled with heartache and an inability to accept the truth.

The royal family had finally been blessed with a princess after so long. It should have been a time of great celebration, but now, she had become the one chosen by the prophecy.

How could anyone bear it?

They had only just met their granddaughter...

They hadn’t even had a moment to cherish her...

While Lan Cangyue was at a complete loss, unsure how to react to this sudden turn of events...

「Meanwhile, in Li City.」

Shen Yue and Huang Ziyue were making their way through the streets, heading for the dense forest west of the city.

As they neared the western outskirts, they saw a group of men who looked like guards from the City Lord Mansion herding a group of prisoners.

The guards were driving them on roughly, punching and kicking them along the way.

The prisoners were all members of the Low level Beast Clan. They seemed terrified of being beaten, walking with their heads bowed, not daring to make a sound.

One of them collapsed, seemingly convulsing, but the guards just kicked him repeatedly until he was unconscious. Then, as if tossing out garbage, they carelessly threw him into a pond outside the city.

Upon seeing this, Shen Yue didn’t hesitate for a moment, telling Huang Ziyue to rescue the man.

After being fed half a drop of Vitality Water, the man, who had been on the verge of death, quickly opened his eyes.

Upon seeing Shen Yue and Huang Ziyue, the man immediately began to tremble and shake his head, looking terrified.

He stammered, letting out strange croaks, and his terrified expression startled Shen Yue.

Shen Yue looked at him.

"Relax. You’re not going to die. And you can speak now."

The man’s eyes widened and he clutched his throat, only then realizing he could already make sounds.

He tried to open his mouth.

He had been a mute for more than a decade. Upon realizing he could speak, his eyes instantly reddened with tears.

Shen Yue saw that under his black outer robe, he was wearing the green uniform of a City Lord Mansion attendant. She had been right; the people being driven out were all servants from the City Lord Mansion.
