Chapter 751: Chapter 751: The Scent of Love_1 Chapter 751: Chapter 751: The Scent of Love_1 Unfortunately, though she spoke with righteous indignation, nobody at the scene supported her. For some reason, Ye Xingguang felt that Geshu Yuan wasn’t that deplorable anymore, as least he was somewhat sincere. Even the childhood memories of him bullying her now seemed trivial.
That’s right, gather your mates to defy my coronation. After all, I don’t want to ascend the throne anyway!
It suddenly occurred to Ye Xingguang that she might be able to use Geshu Yuan to help her escape.
While Ye Xingguang was cheerfully fantasizing about this, Geshu Yuan, suddenly focused his eyes on her neck and asked loudly, “What are you wearing around your neck? How come the Sacred Stone is in your possession?”
Upon hearing this, all the men and women lingering under the Sacred Tree cast their eyes on Ye Xingguang’s neck.
“Sacred Stone? What Sacred Stone? The one that the God of the Sea wears? Is Her Majesty the Queen really the God of the Sea?”
“That’s right, Her Majesty the Queen is indeed wearing the Sacred Stone. That’s an accessory exclusive to the God of the Sea. I heard it was lost many years ago. How did it end up around Her Majesty’s neck?”
“What other reason could there be? Undoubtedly, Her Majesty the Queen is the God of the Sea as recognized by the Sacred Tree. Only Her Majesty has the right to possess the Sacred Stone. Only under her rule can our country enjoy long-lasting peace and prosperity. That’s why we insist on waiting for Her Majesty to ascend the throne. None of the others qualify to do so. Her Majesty the Queen is not a murderer, she is a leader of the new era!”
The empire’s subjects are devout followers of the God of the Sea, and they constitute the core force supporting Ye Xingguang’s ascension to the throne.
Ye Xingguang looked down at the Diamond of Doom hanging around her neck, and with a smile replied, “Why do you think is the reason? Of course, it’s because it is destined to be mine. Or what else could it be?”
At the auction, she instantly recognized that this blue diamond was not the Diamond of Doom people talked about, but the Sacred Stone that the empire had lost.
The Sacred Stone was originally embedded in the mermaid statue at the top of the empire’s holy temple, a blue diamond that was considered sacrosanct and inviolable by the subjects of the empire. Hence, nobody believed that someone would dare to remove the Sacred Stone from the mermaid’s neck and steal it.
When the Sacred Stone was stolen, it was a major case. An investigation was launched and the real culprit was found, but unfortunately, he had already sold the Sacred Stone. After changing hands a few times, the last owner claimed that he lost the Sacred Stone in the sea during his escape. All these years it had remained lost, as finding it would be like looking for a needle in the sea, simply impossible!
Geshu Yuan glared at her, “That belongs to the God of the Sea!”
“So, the Sacred Stone recognizes me as the God of the Sea. Any issues with that?” Ye Xingguang played with the Sacred Stone around her neck. The blue light emitted from the Sacred Stone matched the blue on her tail, complementing each other beautifully.
Geshu Yuan was so furious he couldn’t find his words. Pointing at Ye Xingguang, he shouted, “Just you wait! I will never allow the murderer who killed my cousin to become Her Majesty the Queen! I am the first to object!”
After saying that, Geshu Yuan stormed off angrily. The thought that his favorite cousin, the Fifth Princess, was murdered by Muya Jiushu, and his beloved Geshu Chen was killed by Muya Jiushu as well, and that his beloved Bai Yalan was now accompanying Muya Jiushu, filled him with rage that made him shake. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got…
Bai Yalan watched Geshu Yuan’s retreating figure and said, “I hope Her Majesty the Queen won’t take it personally with Yuaner. He is indeed rather impulsive. I will find someone to reason with him later on.”
