The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 133 ~ Back
"Thank you for wiping out the Evil Octopus monster!" King Yu Tie instantly thanked Zhang Ziyi for being nearby. He himself was actually a little amazed by this human child. Even he himself would not dare to try to pass the test to obtain that instant strength, For he was unsure of being able to pass the test. Perhaps in just trying the first test, he had died. But it was different with this Zhang Ziyi. Even he could clear that test with just two weeks.
"Yes!" Zhang Ziyi nodded. "How long have I been in the exam?"
"About two weeks. While Monster Evil Octopus came two days including today!"
"Has a matter of fact, there were a lot of fatalities that I met while on my way here. Even a village loses its soul because of it." Mumbled softly, yet could be heard by King Yu Tie.
The Mermaid Race King sighed. He felt guilty because as a king, he could not take care of his people. Letting hundreds of souls drift in one night, while he found out too late. Yes, when the village was visited by the Evil Octopus Monster, at that time no one from the palace knew about it. Until when the Evil Octopus Monster came to the palace, then they realized it.
"This is all because of my– mistake! If only I had not missed the information, it might still be able to prevent or at least reduce the casualties of my people," he said with regret. He lowered his head while contemplating.
"It's not His Majesty's fault. Except for the wrong of the servant, for he has been negligent in carrying out the duty of the Servant!" Commander Lie came and bowed his body. The intonation he let out was filled with regret.
On the other hand, Zhang Ziyi put on a puzzled expression. Confused by this dramatic atmosphere.
"Didn't that time have passed? Why are they still thinking. Especially in regret. There is no point in regretting a past action. It is precisely careless behavior in the past that we make as a lesson, in order to meet something better in the future."
King Yu Tie looked at Zhang Ziyi. For a moment he noticed Zhang Ziyi's face. Full of charisma and authority, which makes him like a king.
"Eh, Son! About the promise I said before, now I'll keep it." The Mermaid King swam even higher.
It was watched by thousands of pairs of eyes from his army. He then spoke loudly.
"From this second, the Mermaid Race will have a new leader! He was a human who had saved our race from the Evil Octopus monster." Stopping his words for a moment, he continued. "He is Zhang Ziyi!" so loud in speech, that his voice was heard almost all over the underwater region.
The King's word is everything to thousands of people. And so, no one disputes. To, they had also seen how this action of Zhang Ziyi was earlier. So they don't refuse at all. According to them, every decision taken by their king was the best.
Afterwards King Yu Tie asked Zhang Ziyi to swim higher, and met him. The young man did not refuse. Zhang Ziyi swam higher towards King Yu Tie.
His crown, which had been in his head for a long time, was about to be released and was to be handed over to Zhang Ziyi.
"You don't have to give me that crown. I only want to make the Mermaid Race my subordinate, but it won't interfere with your position as king."
King Yu Tie frowned at the words from Zhang Ziyi.
"You mean?"
Putting up a small ridge at both corners of his lips, Zhang Ziyi then again said, "I will only be the leader, but I will not settle here. Therefore I ask you to take care of this mermaid race as you normally do. But I will monitor you from afar. In other words, the safety of the mermaid race is my responsibility."
"Okay, I get it!" king Yu Tie nodded He then announced what Zhang Ziyi had said just now to his entire people.
"Leader, everything is done. So, what's your goal after this?" asked King Yu Tie politely, after he finished his announcement.
"As I said earlier, I will not stay here. And so I will return to the land. I still have a lot to take care of there!" zhang Ziyi.
King Yu Tie nodded back. Zhang Ziyi approached King Yu Tie. After that he attached the index finger to the forehead of the king of the mermaid race.
"Okay, Leader."
Zhang Ziyi turned to Yu Ren Lan, Yu Xiao, Commander Lie as well as some of the palace higher-ups and did the same as he did to King Yu Tie.
Finished with that, he then told the troops to clean up the mess. Without anyone to refute, all of them bowed down and obediently carried out the orders of Zhang Ziyi.
A day has passed. Zhang Ziyi intended to leave the underwater kingdom, and return to the previous world. But before that, he had first left behind a bit of his mental strength. The goal is so that he does not have trouble in coming to this underwater kingdom later.
With Yu Ren Lan intervening, they both swam away from the royal palace of the Mermaids. Get to the ground.
This village is still safe. The atmosphere was still crowded before. They walked in the midst of the busy people of the fish race. Just so, after seeing the presence of their new leader, these mermaids immediately stopped their actions and paid their respects and praise to Zhang Ziyi. On the other hand, those who do not know about it then ask their other colleagues.
"Are you crazy! He is our new leader. He has also defeated the Evil Octopus Monster and saved us from that monster!" said partner.
"Owh, I don't know about it, because I'm too busy taking care of my work here."
"Well that, one part of your loss–. If only you had seen how he did it in killing that monster, you would have been amazed until now."
"Looks interesting! Can you tell me again how our new leader's action in defeating the Evil Octopus Monster is?"
"Sure!"
Zhang Ziyi heard clearly what the two people were talking about. He put on a small smile.
"stand. I accept your respect." Speak with great authority. Making the mermaids even more amazed at him. After that they return to their activities.
Zhang Ziyi, Yu Ren Lan as well as Laohu himself also resumed their journey
***
Currently, they had been outside the territory of the sea kingdom. Now they were in the continent where Zhang Ziyi had met Yu Ren Lan.
"Till here I'll drive you. I'll go back to the kingdom!" yu Ren Lan said awkwardly.
"You can think of me like I've met you before." Zhang Ziyi approached Yu Ren Lan. Facing each other, up to a few inches away from Yu Ren Lan's face with Zhang Ziyi.
"E–eh ... Ta–tapi—" Yu Ren Lan was unable to finish her words. He's too nervous for that.
"You don't have to feel formal when you're with me. We are friends!" Zhang Ziyi. He had no intention of spending too long. Five minutes into the conversation with Yu Ren Lan, she turned around and ran away, leaving Yu Ren Lan staring at them until they disappeared.
Zhang Ziyi ran and continued to run. He had been far away with the place where he had left Yu Ren Lan earlier.
After a while, he suddenly felt an awkwardness on the road he was on.
