After completely losing sight of the evil dragon's retreating figure, the miserable black cloak on the ground finally came to its senses. A sudden panic arose in its heart, and it felt an urge to flee too…
It looked at the indifferent woman in the distance and asked warily, "Who exactly are you?!" An ordinary mortal would never possess such immense power…
Hearing the black cloak's words, Ming Li didn't even raise an eyebrow. With icy eyes, she lifted the hammer in her hand, "A dead person doesn't need to know so much."
Before her voice even fell, the black cloak was already as cold as could be…
The King of Ziheng Kingdom, witnessing this scene, was dumbfounded, "…?!" Who was he? Where was he? What had he just seen??
Glancing at the patch of mosaic not far away on the ground, the King of Ziheng Kingdom couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, "You, you, you! What do you want to do?! Don't come over! I'm telling you! I am the King of Ziheng Kingdom! You can't hurt me!"
"Heh heh…"
Ming Li let out a cold, expressionless sneer, not wanting to waste any more words on this shameless fellow.
Not long after, another patch of mosaic appeared on the ground…
Everyone, "…" They finally realized that the seemingly gentle eldest princess was actually so… so violent…
In the end, Lan'an Kingdom thus easily took over Ziheng Kingdom. Those willing to submit, submitted. Those unwilling to submit were beaten until they submitted. If violence could be used, why bother with lengthy discussions…
Finally, Ming Li escorted the old king back to their country, leaving all the remaining cleanup to her soldiers.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after the male lead Lan Delin left, in order to search for the legendary Mermaid's Tear, he trekked through mountains and rivers, finally reaching the sea.
Looking at the boundless, azure sea before him, Lan Delin frowned. If he just jumped in like this, he would drown, right… wouldn't he…
Finally, after some thought, he spent a hefty sum in a nearby town to buy a luxurious cruise ship. He began sailing the sea every day, hoping to encounter a mermaid. This was because he had inquired clearly in the town; mermaids did indeed frequent the waters in this vicinity…
After drifting at sea for over half a month, Lan Delin hadn't seen a single trace of a mermaid. He was about to give up; he was getting somewhat impatient.
Just as Lan Delin was about to give up, while drifting at sea, he happened to catch sight of two figures walking on a golden-yellow coastline. One of them looked somewhat familiar…
Although he found her familiar, Lan Delin couldn't recall who the person was after thinking for a long time. He felt like he had seen her somewhere before.
When he clearly saw the other figure, he was utterly stunned. He stood on the deck of the ship, dazed, frozen in place for a moment.
The approaching maiden had hair like seaweed, a tall and slender figure, a graceful waist, and most striking of all, a face of breathtaking, nation-toppling beauty…
After a long pause, seeing the beauty walking straight towards the sea, Lan Delin became anxious. He thought she was about to do something rash, so he quickly ordered the boatman to turn the ship around and sail towards the maiden.
As they got closer, Lan Delin saw something that made his expression grow even more excited.
Because he saw that the maiden's originally fair feet, the moment they touched the seawater, transformed into a silvery-white fish tail at a visible speed. Her originally black long hair also slowly turned sea-blue…
This! Wasn't this the mermaid he had been searching for?!
