Chapter 954: Chapter 954 I Disagree!

Following procedure, she needed to take her queen to the temple to offer sacrifices in the morning. After the ritual was complete, she would issue the coronation edict, then return to the palace, ascend the queen’s throne, and thereafter, receive the homage of various vassal states.

That was the daytime coronation ceremony; in the evening, it would be her marriage ceremony with the male queen consort. In short, she would be busy from morning until night!

Fortunately, no matter how busy she was, from dawn to dusk, Ye Xingguang was always by her side, so she didn’t feel too much psychological pressure. With his company, she felt particularly grounded and at ease.

At eight in the morning, a grand procession set out toward the imperial temple.

The imperial temple was a sacred and inviolable place, usually closed to the public except during major sacrificial events. Even the noble youths from the six great families could not enter the temple at will, but today the doors were wide open.

Ye Xingguang emerged from a shark model submarine, her slim legs transforming into a beautiful mermaid tail.

Ye Junqing also came out of the submarine, holding his breath as he swam by her side. Accompanied by the six great elders and a host of imperial government officials, the two entered the imperial temple.

Fearing that Ye Junqing would be uncomfortable holding his breath, Ye Xingguang swam swiftly, passing through a waterproof membrane into the waterless temple. Her splendid mermaid tail reverted back into legs, she slipped on the shoes that Ye Junqing had brought for her, and then slowed her pace.

The imperial temple was ancient and solemn, with a statue of a mermaid inside, that being the ocean deity worshipped by the empire’s citizens, put on the same pedestal as Jesus and Siddhartha Gautama.

Ye Junqing’s gaze shifted from the ocean deity to the murals on the hall’s inner walls.

Colorful and religious in its artistic expression, the high walls were adorned with murals depicting the ocean deity, illustrating the deity’s activities and protection over humanity, almost like art that soothed the soul.

For some reason, as Ye Junqing accompanied Ye Xingguang in attending the sacrificial ceremonies and admiring those murals, he couldn’t help but feel they resembled the fanciful doodles of a child.

Because there were so many murals and he didn’t have the time to appreciate them in detail, he quickly glanced over them, roughly grasping some of the content.

For instance: the ocean deity fell in love with a man and lived happily ever after with him.

For instance: the ocean deity had the power to turn the tide, to make time flow backward, freeing people from their suffering and ushering in rebirth;

For instance: the ocean deity had a blue tail, that splendid blue nearly identical to the color of Little Mermaid’s tail;

For example: ...

As he continued to admire the murals, even Ye Junqing began to suspect that his Little Mermaid might be the reincarnation of the ocean deity!

After all, Little Mermaid’s tail was so similar to that of the ocean deity depicted in the murals;

After all, Little Mermaid could produce ’Regret Medicine’, essentially rolling back time to free people from their suffering and usher in a new life;

The ritual was sacred and solemn, lasting a full hour before concluding.

Finally, the group ascended to the top terrace of the temple, where Great Elder Bai Qiuhe presided over the ceremony and proclaimed the coronation edict, informing all citizens of the underwater world.

Underwater journalists and media recorded the entire process of the queen’s sacrificial coronation.

Only to hear Great Elder Bai Qiuhe declare, "The state has stabilized, the mandate of heaven bestowed, urging ascension to the great throne, to solidify the nation’s foundation. Humbly appealing to the sacred gaze, to reinforce the state structure, to uphold constitutional monarchy. Respectfully crowning Her Royal Highness Muya Jiushu as the Queen of Atlantis, bestower of the utmost sovereignty over the realm, venerated as the Emperor, to establish the apex of authority, to be passed down for eternity..."

However, just at that moment, a discordant voice suddenly rang out: "I disagree!"
