The carriage carrying Jiang Xinli and her six Beast Husbands stopped near the main hall of the Undersea Palace.
The waters outside were dark, but the main hall was a blaze of light.
Outside the hall, the number of Shark Guards and Dolphin Knights had doubled. Each wore a solemn expression, sword in hand, standing at the ready.
Jiang Xinli frowned slightly.
She had the strange feeling that she'd stumbled into the prelude to a coup from some palace drama.
The Jellyfish Lady who had been attending to Jiang Xinli came forward with a smile, bowed respectfully, and said, "Miss Xinli, this way, please."
"What about them?" Jiang Xinli asked, looking at her Beast Husbands.
"Miss Xinli, after entering the Imperial Palace, males and females are separated." The Dolphin Knight in charge of the carriage behind them stepped forward. "I will be responsible for leading them to a side hall to rest."
Jiang Xinli nodded. "Alright."
"Lili, stay safe." Sheng Tianze walked over and gave her a hug.
