My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 478: Please Ascend to the Throne Immediately, Your Majesty the Queen! 1

Bai Qingshui was confident of victory. Ever since she had plastic surgery to resemble her sister, the Liyu had always adored her; it wouldn’t be an overstatement to say she had a Liyu constitution.

At this moment, her gaze leisurely fell upon those Liyu, the corners of her mouth curving into an arc of anticipation.

Come on, Little Liyu, swim around me just like before.

Bai Qingshui was already imagining groups of Little Liyu surrounding her. It would surely be as stunning as when her sister was encircled by Liyu just moments ago!

She hadn’t lost; she was determined to make a comeback!

Just then, a real Little Liyu swam in her direction. Bai Qingshui suddenly clenched her fists, overjoyed.

"HEY! What are you doing? Who told you to swim towards that bad auntie?"

Little Xiangru was about to explode with anger! Can’t you even be good little followers and submit to your Fishness?

Actually, it was an elderly Liyu. Hearing Little Xiangru’s shout, it finally reacted and, SWISH, SWISH, SWISH, swam back.

"Your Highness, this old servant was confused! My apologies, my apologies!"

That old Liyu had mistaken Bai Qingshui for Bai Jiusi!

Before her reincarnation, Bai Jiusi was the most honored Queen of the Carp Realm!

That old Liyu had watched Si Mingjing, then a Liyu, leap through the Dragon Sect and reincarnate into the Bai Family! Missing its former master, the old Liyu often sneaked into the Bai Family’s estate to see Bai Jiusi. Over time, it had memorized Bai Jiusi’s appearance.

Now, the old Liyu was aged and its reactions were slow. Even though it came out to frolic with the younger Liyu, its mind couldn’t keep up with its body.

Little Xiangru was very respectful of the elderly and caring towards the young. Besides, not long after he was born, the old Liyu, along with many Little Liyu, had acknowledged him as their young master and called him ’Your Highness.’

"It’s okay, it’s okay! But none of you are allowed to swim near that bad auntie. This Fishy detests her!"

Consequently, Bai Qingshui’s joy lasted barely three seconds before she plummeted from the ninth heaven of expectation into an abyss. For a long while, not a single Little Liyu swam towards her! Not only that, but the Little Liyu even formed three words: "You’re unworthy!" Indeed, those three words harshly stung Bai Qingshui’s eyes.

On the ritual platform, the guests also saw the words formed by the Little Liyu, and everyone began to discuss it loudly and animatedly.

"Look! The Little Liyu are saying Bai Qingshui is unworthy!"

"Hahaha, I’m dying of laughter! Aren’t the Little Liyu giving her any face at all?"

"This test is genuine! The Little Liyu can distinguish who is the reincarnated Saintess and who is not. They are truly worthy of being our Mu Continent’s national fish!"

"Hey! Bai Qingshui, come down! Aren’t you embarrassed standing up there? This is a major public humiliation scene..."

Some people covered their faces; they simply couldn’t bear to watch! How incredibly awkward it must be to stand up there!

Elder Matriarch Bai’s face was also extremely flushed with embarrassment. She turned to Bai Chuanfeng and said, "Why don’t you call Qingshui down quickly? She’s going to lose all face for the Bai Family!"

Bai Chuanfeng’s dignified face was taut, her eyes filled with disappointment that her daughter wasn’t meeting expectations. At this moment, her daughter rushing up there was simply asking for humiliation; even Bai Chuanfeng found it distasteful! But no matter how much she resented her at times, Qingshui was still her beloved daughter, whom she had cherished since childhood!

Bai Chuanfeng’s eyes turned icy as she shouted, "Qingshui, get down here now!"

Bai Qingshui was on the verge of tears from anger.

Why? Why would the Little Liyu, who usually loved to swarm around her, humiliate her like this?

Bai Qingshui’s eyes turned red with rage. In a fit of fury, she screamed at those Little Liyu, "Why? Why? Why is she worthy, and I’m not..."

Before she could finish, a Giant Shark suddenly swam over, opening its blood-red, gaping maw towards Bai Qingshui.

The guests on the ritual platform hadn’t yet realized what was happening when, in an instant, Bai Qingshui was swallowed by the Giant Shark.

"AAAH..." someone let out a piercing scream. Following that, everyone gasped in shock.

Si Mingjing also witnessed the scene. Even with her usual composure, her expression couldn’t help but shift slightly.

Was this the deadly scheme Bai Chuanfeng and Huo Liwen had ingeniously devised? To use a Giant Shark to devour her alive?

Even though Bai Qingshui was the one being swallowed alive now, not her, Si Mingjing could already imagine the scene. If the Giant Shark had charged at her, even if her phone had a protective shield function, could she have been certain of escaping its jaws?

"Qingshui! My Qingshui!" Old Lady Bai wailed to the heavens.

Even if she usually doted on Si Mingjing a bit more, Bai Qingshui was still her granddaughter. Watching her own granddaughter being devoured by the Giant Shark was too much for the old lady; she let out two mournful wails, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

"Grandma!" Si Mingjing caught Old Lady Bai’s collapsing body.

That first piercing scream had actually come from Bai Chuanfeng. She watched as her own daughter, whom she had cherished and pampered since childhood, was devoured by the Giant Shark. The horrific scene caused her to collapse, her legs giving way, and she lay on the ground, mumbling incessantly, "No... no..."

This was the death trap she had set for Si Mingjing! This was meant for Si Mingjing!

"Huo Liwen! Huo Linwen! I swear I won’t live under the same sky as you!"

Bai Chuanfeng shrieked tragically, forcing her limp body upright. "Save her! Quick, save my daughter! Cut that Giant Shark open! Cut it open! Hurry, hurry..."

Hearing Bai Chuanfeng’s words, some bodyguards on site were spurred to action. They sprinted towards the submarines, intending to pilot them and pursue the Giant Shark, which had already turned to leave.

But suddenly, the High Priest proclaimed loudly, "This is punishment! This is divine punishment! Bai Qingshui desecrated the Saintess, dared to deny the Saintess’s identity! She has met with retribution; she has only herself to blame!"

Hearing the High Priest’s words, the shocked crowd gradually calmed down. The High Priest had previously stated that if one was the reincarnation of the Saintess, standing on the Saintess’s palm would cause Liyu to gather around her. However, if one was not the Saintess but dared to stand there, they would face a devastating calamity!

Initially, some people had been skeptical of the High Priest’s words. Yet, seeing Bai Qingshui’s fate, they all instantly believed him!

"Yes, this is divine punishment!"

"Bai Qingshui overreached herself, daring to compare herself to her own elder sister and desecrating the Saintess. That’s why the gods sent the Giant Shark to punish her. She brought this upon herself!"

"Giant Sharks have never appeared in the Imperial Capital of the Mu Continent! The Imperial Capital’s defense system prevents any ferocious marine life from entering its protected waters. How did this Giant Shark get through? If even the capital’s powerful defense system couldn’t stop it, then this Giant Shark must have been sent by the gods to punish Bai Qingshui!"

"Killing the Giant Shark would be openly defying the will of the gods! No one is permitted to slay that Giant Shark!"

Upon hearing this, the Bai Family’s bodyguards indeed halted. They exchanged glances, then all looked towards Bai Chuanfeng, unsure of what to do.
