Chapter 188 Otohime's Thoughts

Jiger was thinking about Shirahoshi. Judging from the fact that Roger had come to Fishman Island last year, it would be about nine years before Shirahoshi was born.

Because of Shirley's prophecy, Neptune also knew that he would have a daughter in the future.

Thinking of this, Zig looked up at Neptune. Neptune was shocked, thinking that Zig was going to make trouble.

In his uneasy mood, Jiger slowly said,

"Your Majesty Neptune, I heard that..."

"General Black Dragon!"

Before Jiger could finish, Yiji suddenly rushed over and interrupted Jiger. Jiger was not angry, but just smiled and asked,

"You must be Princess Otohime, what can I do for you?"

Compared to Neptune, Otohime was much more stable. She first smiled softly at Jiger, and her smile was very friendly. Then she said softly,

"General Black Dragon, you are an honored guest. How can I let you stand here all the time? Please let me arrange for someone to welcome you first."

After saying that, Otohime turned her head and glanced at Neptune who was still in a daze. Neptune was still a little confused and at a loss at this time, but after seeing the look in Otohime's eyes, he immediately came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly to show his agreement with Otohime's proposal.

Jiger noticed something unusual in his expression, but he did not show any doubt and agreed happily.

When Yiji saw that Jiger agreed, she was delighted and quickly arranged for two beautiful mermaid girls to bring Jiger changing clothes.

As soon as Jiger left, Yiji immediately looked at Taige and asked,

"Tiger, are you here with the Black Dragon?"

Tiger still respected Yiji very much. He nodded and told the story of how Jiger saved him truthfully.

After hearing this, Yiji thought for a moment and said,

"It seems that this Black Dragon General is more humane than the rumors say, but we still can't let our guard down. Neptune, we should have someone call that child, Charlie, over here right now. We need her ability to predict the future."

In fact, Otohime and Neptune had been married for less than a year, but Neptune never dared to look down on his wife who was more than 20 years younger than him, and often sought Otohime's opinion on some major matters.

So after listening to Otohime's words, he immediately ordered the right minister to bring Xia Li to Ryugu Castle.

After the Right Minister left, Otohime looked at Neptune helplessly and said,

"Neptune, the admiral's sudden arrival this time is probably related to your relationship with Roger."

Neptune nodded solemnly, and Tiger seemed to have just woken up from a dream. A hint of admiration suddenly appeared in his eyes when he looked at Otohime.

He was the first to meet Jiger, but he never thought of this.

Yes, the Roger Pirates have always been the mortal enemy of the World Government, and the Ryugu Kingdom is a member of the World Government. The two should be incompatible.

As a king, Neptune became friends with Roger, which was definitely a big taboo!

But Tiger thought back to the time when he was with Jiger on the sea, and it seemed that Jiger's coming to Fishman Island was just a spur of the moment decision.

Thinking of this, Tiger frowned and looked at Yiji and asked,

"Princess Otohime, I don't think General Black Dragon has any ill intentions this time. You sent him away because you want to..."

Tiger stopped talking abruptly, but the meaning was self-evident.

He thought that Princess Otohime did this because she wanted to secretly gather troops to fight against Jige.

Tiger attaches great importance to kindness and loyalty. He is grateful to Jiger who rescued him from the human traffickers from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, he never wants to see his savior Jiger being plotted against and put in danger in his hometown.

Otohime understood what Tiger meant and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Tiger, do you think I want to find someone to deal with a Marine Admiral? Do you understand the power of a Marine Admiral?"

Tiger fell silent. Of course he understood, and he was the only person on Mermaid Island who had felt Jiger's power up close.

The endless darkness that could swallow dozens of giant beasts that were hundreds of meters long in an instant still makes him feel frightened.

Otohime sighed and said softly,

“Even if the Black Dragon really comes to hold us accountable or even to settle accounts violently, we on Fishman Island can only endure it and cannot show any resistance, otherwise Fishman Island will really be completely destroyed.”

Jinbei was listening silently in the back. Today he finally saw what a true top-level strong man was. He could suppress an entire kingdom with just his title.

Otohime continued,

"What we need to do now is to buy time. When Xia Li arrives, we can ask her to predict what will happen next. Whether it is a blessing or a disaster, we will always be prepared to deal with it."

After saying this, the atmosphere in the hall fell into an eerie silence.

Fortunately, the Right Minister acted quickly and brought Xia Li here soon.

Shirley is not yet Mrs. Shirley, she is less than five years old.

She was wearing a small purple wizard robe, and was led by the right minister to Otohime and others in a daze.

Yiji leaned down, looked at Xia Li tenderly, and said softly,

"Xia Li, I'm going to ask you for help again this time. Can you please predict whether the admiral's arrival will bring misfortune to Fishman Island?"

Xia Li seemed a little hesitant. Although she was not very old, she had an innate talent for divination and was able to understand many things in advance.

This also caused her mental development to far surpass her peers, which could be said to be abnormally precocious.

But she has developed a deep fear and boredom with her own divination abilities, especially this important prophecy concerning the future of Fishman Island.

However, in the face of Otohime's constant pleading, Xia Li finally slowly stretched out her tender little hands and gently placed them on a crystal clear crystal ball.

Otohime and the others immediately put their faces in front of the crystal ball, each with a nervous look on their face.

Xia Li closed her eyes tightly, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her white and smooth forehead.

Under the gaze of everyone, the crystal ball gradually began to change.

A mass of black substance gradually emerged from the originally crystal clear crystal ball, and soon filled the entire interior of the crystal ball. Finally, a large amount of black gas began to rise from the entire crystal ball.

Seeing this strange scene, everyone was so frightened that they stood there in a daze.

At this moment, Xia Li's face showed pain. She screamed, pulled her hands away from the crystal ball, and fell to the ground holding her head tightly.

However, the crystal ball gradually left the ground and slowly floated into the air. After shaking violently for a few times, its size suddenly shrank to a black dot and finally disappeared completely from everyone's sight.
