After Taoyao and his group left, the entire Sea Kingdom fell into an unprecedented state of tension.

The king ordered the national borders to be blocked, and all entrances and exits were heavily guarded.

The number of guards patrolling the city increased several times, and they could be seen armed with weapons on every street.

On the bulletin boards in the city, wanted pictures of Tao Yao and his group wearing masks were posted everywhere.

People passing by stopped to watch and whispered about this sudden incident.

……

As night falls, the coastal town about ten miles away from the capital of the Sea Kingdom seems particularly quiet.

This is a typical fishing village with houses built along the coastline.

Fishing boats of all sizes are moored in the harbor, swaying gently with the waves.

There were still some unfurled fishing nets hanging on the fishing net drying rack on the shore, shining silvery in the moonlight.

A few dim lanterns were lit sporadically on the street, illuminating the stone pavement.

The noise of drunkards could be heard from some pubs, mixed with the salty sea breeze, adding a bit of worldly air to this quiet town.

Feiying's figure quickly shuttled in the dark, skillfully avoiding the patrolling guards.

Jasmine followed behind her all the time, calling out breathlessly in a low voice:

"Feiying, slow down!"

Feiying turned a deaf ear and continued to move forward in pursuit of the faint traces of demonic power.

Suddenly, she stopped abruptly.

Jasmine didn't have time to brake and bumped into Feiying's back. They both staggered a few steps before they could steady themselves.

Jasmine rubbed her red nose and looked at Feiying with some resentment.

Feiying just stood there, looking around with a frown on her face.

"Why did the demonic power suddenly stop? It was clearly right here..."

Jasmine took out the pocket watch-shaped instrument, took a look at it, and said softly:

"It is true that no demonic power fluctuations can be detected."

Feiying clenched her fists, with a look of self-blame on her face:

"Damn it... I was so close. I was clearly following the fairy's power and felt like I was about to catch up..."

She hung her head, her voice full of frustration.

At this moment, a gentle and familiar voice sounded behind her:

"My dear, you are really persistent in pursuing me."

Feiying's face lit up with joy when she heard the voice and she quickly turned around.

Under the moonlight, Taoyao was standing quietly not far away, with Xiluo and Forget-me-not standing on her left and right respectively.

She slowly took off the mask on her face and gave Feiying a gentle smile.

The moonlight sprinkled softly on her, giving her a hazy silver glow, making her look like a dream.

Feiying was completely stunned.

She finally saw Taoyao again.

After being in a trance, Feiying came back to her senses and said through gritted teeth:

"Taoyao, I want to challenge you! Don't even think about leaving this time!"

Tao Yao showed a helpless expression:

"Little cutie, you should know that this doesn't make any sense."

"Taoyao, I have witnessed your past in a fragment of memory, and I already know your story."

Feiying Yao continued:

"Whatever you want to do, I can go with you!"

Tao Yao heard this and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. Her eyes swept across Feiying's face gently like water:

"You should have seen that the Sea Kingdom is in chaos right now."

"The former Archon, the current Supervisor, Coral, died inexplicably at his own singing location."

"They will now suspect that I did it."

"If you stay with me in this situation, you'll inevitably get into trouble."

"And even so, you insist on standing on my side?"

"It doesn't matter! I'm very strong now, I can definitely protect you!"

Feiying answered without hesitation, her tone firm.

Tao Yao couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.

Her laughter was clear and melodious, like the song of a nightingale.

The forget-me-not standing by had already been infected by this warm scene, with star-like light twinkling in its eyes.

At this moment, Xi Luo walked up from Tao Yao's side and spoke to Fei Ying:

"No need for that. It's enough for me to protect Miss Taoyao."

Feiying's eyes fell on Shiloh, taking in her neat maid outfit.

She paused for a moment, then spoke hesitantly:

"You... are you?"

Before he finished speaking, Shiloh had already taken off his mask.

The moment they saw Xi Luo's face clearly, Feiying and Jasmine's expressions suddenly became angry.

"Why you again? I didn't have time to ask you last time. Where did you take Violet?"

Feiying clenched her fists, her voice filled with suppressed anger.

Jasmine also immediately echoed:

"Give us back Violet!"

Facing the two people's questioning, Xi Luo remained calm:

"That purple-haired girl should be at the headquarters of the Apostolic Order now."

Hearing this answer, Jasmine immediately took out her double guns and prepared to fight.

Shiloh looked at Jasmine's actions, and a smile appeared on his lips:

"Why, are we going to do it here?"

Feiying looked at everything in front of her and fell into deep confusion.

Her eyes moved back and forth between Taoyao and Xiluo, her heart full of conflict.

Xiluo is Taoyao's maid. She did a lot of crazy things because she mistakenly believed that Taoyao was dead.

But now Taoyao is back. This elegant maid who once worked with her in the Land of Dawn should have returned to normal, right?

But even if it returns to normal.

Can we just let go of the bad things the maid did?

Just when the situation was becoming more tense.

At this time, Tao Yao broke the silence with an apologetic voice:

"Okay, I already know everything about Violet."

"I'm so sorry your friend has been treated this way."

"There is no doubt that this matter was indeed Shiloh's fault. I will not deny that."

"And since Violet has been taken to the Apostolic Order, I will find a way to help you bring your friend back."

Having said this, Tao Yao paused for a moment and continued:

"But for now, please allow me to finish dealing with the affairs of the Sea Kingdom first."

"After I remove Pearl's suspicion of me, we will go together to find your friend."

"When the time comes, after I find Violet, I will personally make amends to you, okay?"

Feiying turned to look at Jasmine beside her, with a questioning look in her eyes.

Jasmine bit her lower lip and remained silent for a long time, but finally put away her weapon.

"So what happened in the Sea Kingdom?"

Jasmine asked, "The singer from the Sea Country suddenly died..."

"Taoyao, I saw you trying to use your magical powers to save her. Did you fail? Why do they think you are the murderer?"

Tao Yao's eyes became deep as she recalled the scene at that time.

She asked quietly in her heart:

"Xiao Xiao, why is the primordial force of no use at all?"

According to common sense, the original force cannot be completely ineffective.

Even if the coral cannot be saved in the end, it should not be a complete lack of response.

But the situation at that time was very strange. When Taoyao used her magic power, Shanhu's body seemed to be rejecting this power and was unable to accept any treatment from the magic power at all.

[Master, according to common sense, this really shouldn’t happen…]

The system elf Xiaoxiao whispered softly in Taoyao's heart, her tone full of confusion.

[I also don't understand why your primordial power is completely ineffective. ]

[You know, the original power is essentially the purest fairy power. Even if it cannot save a person, it should not be completely unable to penetrate into the other person's body. ]

Tao Yao frowned slightly and said softly in her heart:

"Then if Coral is a fairy, or has some connection with fairies, then wouldn't all this make a lot more sense?"

【ah! 】

Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise and reacted belatedly.

[Yes! If Coral is a fairy, then this situation may indeed occur...]

"I understand."

Tao Yao nodded slightly and looked back at the confused people in front of her.

In response to Jasmine's question, she slowly opened her mouth to explain:

"I may not have understood the things you said before. But now thinking back, I have a guess."

"Perhaps the coral is related to the sea fairy we have been looking for recently, or maybe... she herself is a fairy?"

"I think that only a method created by a fairy can completely ignore the effect of my primordial power."

When these words came out, everyone present was stunned.

Jasmine opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Even Shiloh, who was usually calm and composed, showed a look of surprise.

Not to mention the forget-me-nots, whose emotions are always expressed directly on their faces.

"how is this possible?"

Forget-me-not widened his eyes and shook his head in disbelief:

"If Coral is really a fairy, how is it possible that we have stayed in the Coral Palace for such a long time and didn't feel any fairy power at all? This is too incredible."

Tao Yao smiled slightly:

"As long as the goblins don't use their powers on a large scale, it's very difficult to detect them with the current detection equipment we have."

"Even fairies like us may not be able to detect it if we deliberately conceal our aura."

Jasmine placed her hand on her chin, lost in thought.

Her eyes flickered slightly, as if she was sorting out her thoughts:

"Coral is the former governor of the Sea Kingdom. How could she be a fairy? This is too..."

Halfway through her words, she seemed to have thought of something, and her tone gradually became hesitant.

"But if Coral is really a fairy as you said, then it can explain some things."

Jasmine continued, with a hint of thought in her voice:

"After all, as a fairy, your fairy power cannot possibly have no reaction at all..."

"If she is really related to fairies, or is a fairy herself, all this can be explained."

At this point, Jasmine's voice lowered again, with some hesitation:

"But... it's incredible that a former archon of the Sea Kingdom is related to fairies... it's really unbelievable."

The night wind blew gently, bringing with it the smell of salty sea breeze.

The sound of waves in the distance was still beating rhythmically against the shore, as if accompanying this incredible speculation.

Under the moonlight, the expressions of several people were shrouded in a vague shadow.

At this moment, everyone is immersed in their own thoughts.
