Chapter 398: Being a Guest in the Fish Palace
In the deep blue, a magnificent underwater palace stands quietly, as if it is the relic of a lost civilization. The palace in front of you seems to be built from millions of years of corals and shells. Every detail reveals the delicacy of the years, but it has also become as hard as stone under the baptism of time. Every inch is covered with intricate lines that seem to tell a story. A story that lasts thousands of years.
The colors of the coral reefs range from soft pinks to deep purples, intertwined to form a natural picture; covered with seaweed, gently swaying in the current, like an ocean version of a forest. Occasionally, groups of colorful tropical fish shuttle through it, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet space.
And this is the Mermaid Palace.
It belongs to the magnificent wonders in the sea and is also the residence of the sea princess. Even in the deep sea, the surrounding sea area is particularly vivid due to its rich ecology and pure water quality. There are many buildings around it, which are the residences of other mermaids.
Step into the outer hall and come to the inner hall.
The dreamlike transparent texture seems to be made of thousands of carefully polished pearls and shells. Whenever the sunlight penetrates the sea water and shines on it, the entire palace will reflect colorful light, like a rainbow in the sky. Jumping and dancing in the water. The dome of the palace is cleverly connected by huge spiral conch shells, and the top is open. It seems to be connected to the sea through some unknown means. When the full moon night comes, the silver light pours out, just like the Milky Way falling into the mortal world, making it a beautiful place. Spectacular.
The main passage into the palace is an arch bridge surrounded by colorful corals. Various marine vegetation grows on both sides. Small fishes shuttle among them. Coral flowers occasionally spray brilliant water drops, providing a natural welcome gift to visitors. A huge seahorse statue guards the passage, its eyes shining with wisdom.
This is the deep sea forbidden area that is difficult for ordinary people to enter, but in just a few days, humans have once again been welcomed.
"Please."
Under the personal leadership of Princess Hai, Chen Junting and the others arrived at this passage in a transparent bubble.
Just now, when Princess Hai recognized the Snow Emperor, her attitude towards the three of them changed completely.
But this was not because Princess Hai gave the Snow Emperor face, and she learned about the soul from Huo Yuhao's mouth, which also meant that half of Chen Junting's suspicions were confirmed.
Perhaps Huo Yuhao wanted to convince one of the mermaid clan to become his soul, so he showed off his soul, and of course there was the Ice Emperor. He even somehow learned from the mermaid clan that the Sea Princess and the Snow Emperor were old acquaintances, so he used the Snow Emperor to play the relationship card. This also means that the news that the Snow Emperor is a soul was learned by the Sea Princess.
Because of this, Princess Hai put down her sword.
It’s definitely a friendly force!
"This underwater palace is truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship."
"Beautiful and magnificent."
"..."
In the bubble, the three people were generous in their praise.
In response, many mermaids had smiles on their faces. After all, no creature would reject these words of praise.
The moment they rode the bubble into the passage, the bubble suddenly sank from mid-air and burst quietly when Chen Junting and the others came into contact with the passage of the palace.
What surprised them was that there was no sea water in this passage. Just like the interior of this palace is separated from the sea outside through the door of the inner hall.
At the same moment, the swimming fish tail of Sea Princess also broke away from the sea water. The moment it stepped on the channel, the fish tail turned into legs, and a graceful golden dress covered them.
In an instant, it attracted the attention of three people.
"Are you curious? This is the ability of the mermaid family."
Princess Hai spoke with a smile, and she had the nobility of a clan leader, yet she was friendly at the same time.
"When we leave the sea water, we will turn into humans, but only for a short time, otherwise we will die. Under normal circumstances, there is sea water in the palace. But because of the arrival of human guests, We just drained the sea water from the palace and filled it with air.”
Hearing this, Ning Tian couldn't help but wonder.
"Is this also the ability of the mermaid family?" "Of course not."
The sea princess shook her head, her words seemed pious.
"This is the power of Lord Poseidon."
"Poseidon Tang San, uh... sir?"
Hearing this, Chen Junting withdrew his scrutinizing gaze, and then curiously asked for advice. I just couldn't help but pause in the middle of speaking.
"Of course not, it's Lord Poseidon, the first-generation sea god."
Sea Princess shook her head, but she didn't hide it. After all, this kind of thing is not a clan secret, and it is not necessary at all.
However, Chen Junting raised his eyebrows slightly in the dark.
Although the Sea Princess did not show her emotions directly on her face, he could tell that compared to Poseidong, although the Sea Princess had great respect for Tang San, she was far inferior to the former.
It’s like…
What she respected was not Tang San, but the position of Poseidon.
In other words, for a mermaid who has lived for hundreds of thousands of years, she has experienced the changes in the history of the sea, and she has definitely had the experience of getting acquainted with Poseidon. Such beings only respected Tang San because he was Poseidon's successor.
Thinking of this, Chen Junting suddenly noticed something. As his thoughts shook, he found that the Sea Princess was looking at him.
Seeing that she was discovered, the sea princess just smiled. Then he led a few people to continue along the passage and walked inside.
This puzzled Chen Junting.
I just felt like I was about to be seen through.
Does the sea princess have the ability to read minds?
But no matter what, when he sensed the Rakshasa mark hidden between his eyebrows, Chen Junting calmed down. He knew that he had never been successfully read, otherwise he would have been noticed.
Entering the palace, the light gradually becomes brighter.
On the ceiling of the hall, there are countless pearl chandeliers hanging, some of which are thousands of years old. They sway under the waves of the water, emitting a soft glow that illuminates the entire space.
The ground is covered with soft white sand, and you can feel its delicacy every step you take. The walls are inlaid with various precious gems, which shine charmingly under the light.
Not to mention the luminous pearls mounted on the wall, which illuminate the entire space at the same time, creating a mysterious and tranquil atmosphere.
The center of the palace is a huge and crystal clear pool, inhabited by a variety of marine life. They coexist harmoniously and enjoy freedom and tranquility in this small artificial ecological environment. The water in the pool is so clear that you can even see the colorful pebbles and corals of different shapes laid on the bottom of the pool.
As for the tables, chairs and rows of delicacies placed on both sides of the palace, they all showed that there had just been a grand banquet.
However, it is not these that attract Chen Junting and the others the most...
