Hearing the middle-aged female's words, Wu Qiuqiu suddenly understood.
So, all these elaborately dressed young women here are here for a "selection of concubines"?
What kind of person is this Young Master? To choose a partner, he makes such a big fuss. Is he the Sea Race Prince?
Wu Qiuqiu muttered to herself, but the young women's chorus of replies reached her ears.
"Yes, we will perform well in front of the Young Master."
Each of their faces was full of expectation, as if being favored by the Young Master was something worth being proud of.
Wu Qiuqiu: "..." Alright, she doesn't understand.
Her eyes rolled, and she saw that among this group of young women, there were actually cubs under ten years old, and the oldest young woman was only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Wu Qiuqiu fell into thought.
This Prince... could he be a pervert?
Or a pedophile?
Is this choosing a partner, or choosing a daughter? How could he even touch such young cubs?
Wu Qiuqiu completely forgot that she was currently the youngest among them.
In her heart, she deeply loathed this Prince, feeling that he must be a super pervert.
An image of a pot-bellied, greasy middle-aged man unconsciously appeared in her mind.
Guards surrounded the young women, the surveillance was very tight, and there was no chance to escape.
Wu Qiuqiu secretly vowed that even if she couldn't escape, once she saw this Prince, she would deal with the pervert first and not let him harm innocent young women.
The middle-aged female chattered on and on, again giving a series of instructions about the Prince's... oh no, the Young Master of the Sea Clan's likes and dislikes, telling the young women to remember them firmly so as not to offend the Young Master.
If one could be chosen by the Young Master, that would be even better.
Wu Qiuqiu even felt that, compared to these young women, the middle-aged female seemed to hope even more that someone among them would be chosen.
After nagging for half an hour, the middle-aged female's mouth was dry and she finally stopped.
"Alright, it's about time. I'll take you to see the Young Master now. Remember, no matter what the Young Master says, you can't retort, you can't talk back," the middle-aged female repeatedly instructed.
Listening to the middle-aged female's words, Wu Qiuqiu added another label to this Prince: eccentric and capricious.
Tsk!
The more she listened, the more he seemed like a pervert!
Wu Qiuqiu and a group of young women were led to the magnificent door of a palace room.
The middle-aged female stood outside the door and respectfully called out, "Young Master, the females the Queen sent are here. I've brought them."
The Young Master was always unenthusiastic about choosing a partner, and even resented it, so no sound came from inside, and the middle-aged female didn't find it strange.
After speaking, she directly gestured to the young women.
"Go in."
Because the Young Master didn't want to choose a partner and would always get angry, she had simply become clever and didn't go in to be scolded.
Wu Qiuqiu followed behind the young women, but because they turned around, she was now at the front entering the door.
Unexpectedly, after walking only two steps, a beautiful young woman in pink stepped forward, shoving Wu Qiuqiu aside and walking in first.
Seeing this, the other young women also crowded forward.
Whoever could win the Young Master's favor first could become Queen in the future!
Wu Qiuqiu instantly spun like a top in place. Because she was "burdened" with too much, her hands and feet were clumsy, and she only finally stopped after the last young woman went inside.
Dizzy and lightheaded, she went in.
The Young Master's bedchamber was exceptionally luxurious. Crystals and jewels were everywhere, and even the floor was paved with milky white coral, polished smooth and bright, like a large expanse of jade.
But there was no one inside.
Because the bedchamber was so large, the young women were stunned for a moment before starting to search inside.
"Young Master?"
On the jade-like coral bed, a figure that wasn't very tall was vaguely lying down.
Seeing this, the girl in pink boldly swam over, her posture delicate, and her voice sweetly flattering as she said:
"Young Master, let me help you get up... Ah!"
As soon as the girl in pink got closer and lifted the pearl curtain outside the window, when she saw the figure inside, she immediately let out a terrified scream.
Immediately afterward, a strong smell of blood came out.
The young women behind her were all startled, their expressions fearful, and they turned to run outside.
Wu Qiuqiu had finally gotten inside and was again spun around like a top by a group of young women.
Wu Qiuqiu: "..." A repeat performance.
...
A few minutes later.
The middle-aged female came in with a group of burly guards, and seeing the scene in the bedchamber, her face turned pale.
On the jade coral bed lay a decapitated youth, his body withered, his blood staining the bed and slowly flowing down, as if a vibrant flower was blooming on the snow-white ground.
The girl in pink was so scared that she sat on the ground, unable to stand up.
"What's going on!" the middle-aged female asked, her face pale.
"We don't know either. As soon as we came in, there was no sound, and then she found the Young Master like this..." a brave young woman timidly explained what happened.
The middle-aged female paused for a moment, stepped forward, and turned the youth's head over to see the face.
"Who told you to talk nonsense! This isn't the Young Master, he's just one of the Young Master's attendants. If you dare to talk nonsense again, watch out, I'll throw you all to the Exotic Beast Nest!" The middle-aged female seemed angry and scolded.
The young women were stunned. They had never seen what the Young Master looked like, and when they saw the corpse in the Young Master's bedchamber, and there was no one else there, they naturally assumed it was the Young Master's corpse.
Hearing the middle-aged female's words, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Young Master had something happen to him, these females wouldn't have good fruit to eat either.
Although they didn't know what happened at all.
The middle-aged female had the guards search the bedchamber thoroughly, but they didn't find the Young Master, and her expression immediately became serious and her voice urgent.
"Quickly go report to the Queen, the Young Master is missing!"
The Young Master was the King and Queen's treasure. If anything happened to him, they would be the first to be punished.
"Then what do we do with these females..." a subordinate stepped forward and hesitantly asked.
The middle-aged female glanced at the frightened and trembling young women. There was no excessive expression on her fat face. "Lock them up first, wait for the Queen's interrogation. Only they were inside just now, who knows if anyone is lying."
Wu Qiuqiu was relieved that the perverted Young Master had disappeared just in time, only to be caught again.
Soon, a woman who looked like a young matron, dressed in luxurious and rich Sea Race clothing, was escorted in by a large group of Sea Race guards.
"An'er! My An'er, how could he be missing, what is going on…"
As soon as she came in, the woman anxiously looked around, trying to find her An'er.
When she saw the bloodstains on the bed, she swayed. Fortunately, the middle-aged female was quick and stepped forward to support her, explaining the whole thing.
"Queen, the Young Master should be fine, there's only the attendant's corpse here…"
"Who was the last one to enter?" The Queen asked, her beautiful face filled with anger.
The middle-aged female quickly shifted the blame to the young women, "Queen, it was them who first discovered the Young Master was not in the bedchamber."
Hearing this, the Queen's eyes looked sharply towards Wu Qiuqiu.
"
