Keyboard Immortal-Chapter 2524: Someone Who Shouldn’t Be There

“What? The Golden Crow Third Crown Prince!” Yi was infuriated. He hadn’t expected there to be such a twist.

The elder took out a golden feather that was still crackling with flame. “That’s right. The Saintess’ sudden disappearance caught us off guard. Many nosey folks have been speculating about her disappearance, thus the rumors about her... escaping from her marriage. We were worried that the truth could lead to an irreconcilable conflict, so we didn’t clarify the rumors.”

Yi was both delighted and worried. He was glad that Chang’e hadn’t run away because she detested him, but at the same time, he was worried because her disappearance appeared to be related to the Golden Crow Third Crown Prince.

“We found this golden feather near the Saintess’ residence. He must have been here. Who knows what the Golden Crow race is plotting,” an elder muttered worriedly.

“What else could they be plotting? Those fiends are trying to undermine the bonds within our Shaman races!” Yi slammed his hand on the table and shot to his feet. “I shall rescue Chang’e from the clutches of the Golden Crow Third Crown Prince!”

Ignoring the elders’ shouts for them to think things through, Yi rushed outside. The thought of his fiancé being in the Fiend races’ clutches made him feel as if ants were gnawing at his heart.

If she loses even a strand of hair, I’ll go to the Scalding Valley[1] to settle the score with those Golden Crows!

...

After sending Yi off, Zu An continued maneuvering the Crystal Boat toward Kunlun Mountain. At the moment, he was in a room with Yumen Beiqing, discussing their analysis and speculations about Yi. However, Yumen Beiqing appeared to be distracted.

When Zu An asked her what was wrong, they suddenly heard a surprised exclamation outside. “Big brother Zu, is that you?”

Zu An’s body shuddered. He instantly teleported to the deck outside.

A beautiful woman floated in midair, looking as if she had emerged from the fog. Her appearance made the dim sky light up a fair bit. This woman could enchant anyone no matter how many times they saw her. Her curvaceous figure was wrapped in a sea-colored dress, and her fair skin glowed radiantly like the moonlight.

Zu An was both surprised and delighted to see her. He hadn’t expected to meet her here.

It was the Mermaid Queen, Gong Suyin!

“Big brother Zu, it really is you!” Her voice sounded a little hoarse. Unable to hold back her excitement, she leaped right into his arms.

Had it been in the past, Zu An would have avoided her. But sensing the intense feelings she harbored for him, he couldn’t bring himself to do that. He embraced her, and that made him realize that her body was trembling. “Yes, it’s me. You don’t have to be afraid.”

Yumen Beiqing arrived on the deck slightly later than Zu An. The first thing she saw was a ridiculously beautiful woman leaping into her lover’s arms as if their love transcended life and death. That made her feel a rush of jealousy. Where did this hussy come from?

That thought alarmed her. Why would I feel jealousy? Do I truly have feelings for this fellow? How is that possible?!

She quickly consoled herself. It’s normal to be angry if someone takes my toy away without my permission.

It was then that the Mermaid Queen noticed Yumen Beiqing and anxiously tore herself away from Zu An’s embrace. “Big brother Zu, she is...”

“She’s the Fiend races’ Saintess, whom you were full of praises for and have been wanting to meet, Yumen Beiqing.” Zu An figured that there was no point in saying too much, since she wouldn’t know Xie Daoyun. “Saintess, this is the Ocean races’ Mermaid Queen, Gong Suyin.”

“As expected of the Ocean races’ number one beauty. How gorgeous!” Yumen Beiqing remarked as she eyed the other party’s chest. She’s big. They're almost on par with mine.

“So you’re the Fiend races’ Saintess! I have heard a lot about you.” The Mermaid Queen was surprised too. She had heard a lot about this legendary woman and had been wanting to meet her, but who could have thought that they would meet under such circumstances?

Their exchange of pleasantries was a little awkward.

Yumen Beiqing could guess their relationship from their intimate embrace. This playboy! The last time I saw him, he had three gorgeous women with him. Now, he has yet another one here. And how can all of them be so beautiful?!

Despite only being in this world for a short time, he's already gotten together with even the famed Mermaid Queen. Is he an incubus?!

The Mermaid Queen was perplexed too. She could tell that something was going on between Zu An and the Fiend races’ Saintess—the intimacy between lovers was obvious.

Isn’t big brother Zu from the future? Why is he together with the Saintess? Was everything he told me before a lie? Does he not like me at all?

Her face darkened. The clouds gathered, as if lamenting alongside her.

“What brings you here?” That was the biggest question in Zu An’s mind. Given that they had entered this place via the Fiend races’ Imperial Tomb, it was baffling that the Mermaid Queen was here too.

The Mermaid Queen was about to speak when countless figures charged out of the forest. “The Saintess is there! Capture her!”

Zu An instinctively glanced at Yumen Beiqing. The latter looked bewildered too. Why is someone after me in this world?

“Chang’e, you aren’t getting away!”

Those words, along with the anxiously hiding Mermaid Queen, evoked an utterly ridiculous thought in Zu An’s mind. “You can’t be Chang’e, can you?”
