Haidei’er’s birth mother not only brought this letter but also brought a vial of poison from the Demon Continent.
What’s more curious is that Haidei’er’s birth mother didn’t know what she was bringing at all. She thought it was just an ordinary item for her daughter. Thus, the woman’s face bore no odd expression, and she was extremely joyful to be near her daughter.
After reading the letter, Haidei’er was initially incredulous.
She had witnessed with her own eyes how powerful the Rock Demon Fleet was, and how humbly Suo Lun had acted during the negotiations.
If Suo Lun could defeat the Rock Demon, why would he need to be so humble in the negotiations with him? Why would he even agree to some very unreasonable harsh conditions? Like sending troops to help the Rock Demon capture Yingzhou Island or supplying the Rock Demon with a huge quantity of gunpowder every month for free.
If Suo Lun could defeat the Rock Demon, why would he go to Yingzhou Island to succumb to her father Hai Gang’s extortion?
So, from any perspective, it was certain that Suo Lun was bound to lose.
Then what was her father Hai Gang’s intention in writing this letter?
She knew that Hai Gang was also leading the main fleet south to annihilate Suo Lun, perhaps due to unequal division of spoils, suffering oppression by the Rock Demon, thus he wanted to use her hand to eliminate the Rock Demon?
If that was really the case, it was too foolish.
Everyone knew Haidei’er had little affection for the Hai Family. Because her mother was a female slave, she had been bullied by her sisters since she was a child, even favored slaves dared to bully her at times.
Thus, her feelings toward the Hai Family were more resentful than affectionate. Even towards her own birth mother, she held grievances, believing that it was her mother’s weakness that failed to protect her, leading her to be bullied since childhood.
But after marrying the Rock Demon, she suddenly became the exalted Consort of the Rock King.
Although outside the Yan Tribe no one recognized this Rock King, in the Thunder Archipelago she was indeed second only to one, above tens of thousands.
And as the Rock Demon became stronger, her status rose accordingly. The sisters who used to look down on her were filled with envy and even pleasantry when they saw her again.
In Pirate Bay, the Rock Demon was truly a sovereign. When she accompanied him to Pirate Bay, countless pirates and traders presented expensive gifts to curry favor with her, and she thoroughly enjoyed this feeling.
This pleasure brought by power reached its peak when Suo Lun and Zhi Yan came for negotiations.
She personally saw how Suo Lun, who could command wind and waves in the Rage Wave Kingdom, begged the Rock Demon to spare him, the feeling of easily determining one’s fate from such a height was simply too wonderful.
The Rock Demon could not only decide a man’s fate but even the fate of a kingdom.
Destiny of Rage Wave Kingdom’s heir Zhi Li, to obliterate Suo Lun, came personally to have a secret talk with her husband the Rock Demon. Although she did not witness it firsthand, she could fully feel how humble Zhi Li was at the time, even agreeing to the Rock Demon’s extortionate demands.
This feeling obsessed Haidei’er, and the Rock Demon who brought her this feeling naturally bewitched her.
Thus, towards her husband the Rock Demon, she harbored an almost blind trust.
Regarding the contents written by her father in the letter, Haidei’er scoffed, completely disbelieving it!
But why would her father tell such an easily discernible lie? Haidei’er couldn’t help feeling somewhat uneasy, and each day she stood on the highest point of the Yan King’s Palace, waiting for the Rock Demon’s return.
Haidei’er didn’t have to wait long!
Three days later, she saw a fleet from the highest point of the castle, a familiar fleet.
Because the ships of the Rock Pirate Fleet were very distinctive, she recognized them at a glance.
She was initially overjoyed, then a chill ran through her heart!
Because the returning fleet was very small, when the Rock Demon set out, there were a hundred thousand naval forces, thousands of warships that blotted out the sun.
What was going on? Could it be as her father Hai Gang had said, the Rock Demon was defeated?
Thus, Haidei’er, lifting her skirt, ran swiftly towards the dock to find out.
The Rock Demon led the remnant fleet back from defeat to shore.
"All Yan people, regardless of age or gender, pick up arms, prepare for battle!"
"All catapults, all giant crossbows, go to position, ready for battle."
"All castles, enter combat readiness!"
Just upon docking, the Rock Demon immediately issued urgent orders, putting the Thunder Archipelago into full combat readiness, a full mobilization where even the elderly and children were to pick up arms, preparing for battle.
Hearing this, Haidei’er’s heart sank even further.
Because in the letter from her father Hai Gang, it stated that Suo Lun and the Hai Family’s Allied Army would soon arrive and besiege the Thunder Archipelago!
Despite her complex feelings, Haidei’er still ran towards the Rock Demon with a face full of deep affection.
Her beautiful eyes were full of tenderness and concern, but not excessively so, and as she ran towards the Rock Demon, she appeared like a small bird returning to the forest.
Witnessing this scene, the Rock Demon’s heart softened.
Previously, the Rock Demon had felt pity for his wife Haidei’er, but it definitely wasn’t about love.
His heart was too ambitious, a woman could hardly occupy much space in it. But somehow, at this moment, Haidei’er became a place of softness and reliance in his heart.
It was as if a man was injured and thus needed to return home to recuperate, to return to a woman’s side to heal, allowing the woman’s tenderness to soothe the pain in his heart.
The Rock Demon hugged her tightly, greedily sniffing the fragrance of her body.
