Chapter 4697: 5.0449 What Right?

The words Long Qian had spoken echoed continuously in his mind: "Reclaim the Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl! Reclaim the Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl! Create a glorious future for the Forgetfulness River Long clan!"

The future was worth looking forward to. As long as they obtained this Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl and awakened their long-dormant Young Lady Xueyuan, then the entire Forgetfulness River Long clan would receive the Pearl's cleansing power. They would surely become even stronger. Furthermore, coupled with the advanced medicinal liquids distributed by Tianyun, which allowed for infinite advancement and even special abilities after consumption, the powerful and prosperous future of the Forgetfulness River Long clan was within reach. The thought alone was exhilarating.

Qiao Mu coldly watched the Forgetfulness River lineage, who were all firing their weapons. Her gaze pierced through the dense crowd, landing on Long Hui.

"You are truly something else," the little poker face's voice was cold and resolute, causing Long Hui's heart to tremble slightly. An indescribable sense of irritation filled his chest.

"If you are willing to hand over the Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl," Long Hui looked at the little poker face with a complicated expression, gritting his teeth and saying in a deep voice, "I can guarantee that Grandmother will absolutely not harm you."

"Hmph," Qiao Mu scoffed. "With your life as a guarantee?"

"Yes! I guarantee it with my life," Long Hui nodded sincerely.

"Unfortunately, your wretched life isn't worth a dime!" Princess Wushuang snorted exasperatedly. She casually summoned the long sword from her spiritual sea, her eyes filled with frost. "If it's a fight, then fight! What's with all the nonsense! At this point, what, are you still thinking of reconciliation?"

"Exactly!" Qi Xuanxuan, the little fatty, and a few others were now truly trembling with rage. They all looked at Qiao Qiao with concern.

From the very beginning, it was the Forgetfulness River Long clan that proposed allying with the Three Continents to jointly resist Tianyun. But now, it was these very bastards who were the first to betray the Three Continents Alliance!

"Are you all sick?!" Qi Xuanxuan roared, clenching her fists, her voice trembling slightly. "Since you had no sincerity in cooperating, why did you hypocritically come to talk about cooperation in the first place? Who were you trying to disgust?"

"Oh, I understand! You were playing us from the beginning, weren't you?!"

At this moment, any further explanation would appear extremely pale. Could Long Hui tell them that at first, he had indeed followed his father's instructions to come and discuss cooperation and the future with Qiao Qiao? He knew better than anyone that cooperating with Tianyun was an anti-human act and would not end well.

But the reason he stepped forward to execute his grandmother's orders was partly for the future of the Long clan, and partly... for his own father. His grandmother said that his father's body had suffered very serious injuries years ago. If the Mermaid Pearl could be used to extend his life, although it might not completely heal the old wounds, it would certainly allow his father to live for another hundred years.

He had no better choice, none! Other than agreeing to his grandmother, he had no other option.

The furious little sun in Qi Xuanxuan's heart was now burning to the point of explosion. She felt so much pain for her Qiao. What had her Qiao done wrong? Why did everyone accuse her of having the Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl? Why did everyone spit on her face and righteously demand that she hand over the Ten-Thousand-Year Mermaid Pearl?!

"What kind of abominations are you?!" Qi Xuanxuan roared furiously. "Long Hui, I originally thought you had a brain. But now, it seems the people of your Forgetfulness River Long clan are truly disgusting."
