Chapter 249 Reef

What catches your eye is the crystal clear fish tail.

The familiar legs were gone, replaced by a two-meter-long azure mermaid tail.

Although it was in the dark and lightless seabed, the fish tail was shining unreasonably, and the shimmering waves were beautiful in their own right.

Moreover, his hair, which originally reached his shoulders, suddenly grew longer than his hips. The long golden hair with slightly curled tail spread lightly in the water, and it was as sparkling, smooth and delicate as the fish's tail.

Lu Yi hugged his fish tail, his mind went blank for a moment. He didn't know whether to be surprised by his suddenly grown fish tail and long hair, or panic about his body becoming translucent for no reason.

His memory returned. If he remembered correctly, he had passed the test of the Heart of the Sea and the Mirror. At this moment, he should be in the lake behind the mountain of Bryside, instead of floating naked in a dark secret area under the sea as he was now.

No, when he was leaving the illusion, he heard the voice of the mermaid, turned around and lost consciousness.

Could it be that the mermaids are behind all this?

It was not an easy task to get his soul to this hellish place. It was no exaggeration to say that after absorbing part of the divine power of Chaos and Mios, there was no one in the entire Isaiah continent who could compete with Lu Yi's soul.

That means that his appearance in this place was also driven by his subconscious mind?

There is no use thinking too much. When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.

Having suddenly lost his legs, Lu Yi still felt a little uncomfortable so he used his fish tail to move forward, stumbling forward.

At this time, Lu Yi was particularly grateful that one of the mermaid's organs was covered by scales, so that he would not be too dead - although there seemed to be no signs of life around him.

It was impossible to tell the direction in the dim seabed, so he had to rely on his intuition to move forward.

I don’t know how long I swam aimlessly like this, but I saw a faint light ahead.

Lu Yi became more spirited and swam forward faster.

The closer you are to the bright light area, the more obvious the signs of life around it become.

Beneath the bizarre sea surface is a mysterious and beautiful new world of fantasy.

The brightly colored corals stretch out their twisted and hard bodies, the algae are dense, chaotic yet orderly, and the small fish that flexibly swim among them have beautiful and sharp fins.

The group of jellyfish with semi-transparent bodies, whose bones and veins can be clearly seen, are the most passionate dancers, swaying their long, wiry skirts.

Since humans are unable to penetrate deep into the depths of the sea, they arrogantly speculate that the deeper the sea creatures are, the uglier and more bizarre they are.

When he was actually in the deep sea, Lu Yi realized that those human scholars who inferred based on common sense were totally wrong. Deep-sea creatures were different from land creatures, but they were not ugly or weird, but strangely beautiful.

Some brave fish approached Lu Yi, as if they were curious about why this mermaid swam so slowly. After being curious, they circled around him twice and then swam away quickly.

Lu Yi found all this extremely novel.

He tried hard to stay alert, but perhaps it was because the mermaid blood that had been suppressed in his blood for a long time began to become active again, and he actually felt indescribable joy.

It was as if he was supposed to be like this, swimming freely and unrestrainedly in the boundless sea, with nothing able to restrain him and nothing able to make him worry.

Lu Yi began to get used to the fish tail and became highly adapted to this familiar yet unfamiliar body.

The sea also began to adapt to him. Every ripple was his tentacle. The vast sea was like his home, and it was all in his hands.

Therefore, the figure hidden behind the huge coral reef became particularly obvious.

"Who's there? Come out!" Lu Yi stared at Coral.

The figure behind the coral reef moved slightly, and timidly poked its head out. It was a male mermaid with black hair, black eyes, and a black fish tail.

Lu Yi was stunned, "Ares??!"

"How could it be you? How did you become a mermaid?" Lu Yi swam to his side, his expression showing a bit of surprise that he couldn't hide, "Teacher Ares, where have you been all this time?"

He hadn't seen Ares for a long time. If it weren't for the constant sensation of the divine blood of Ares that he had swallowed, he would have thought that Ares had been completely isolated from the world by the rules here.

Ares' reaction was quite strange. He smiled shyly at Lu Yi, as if he didn't know how to answer his question.

Lu Yi got goosebumps from his shy smile that didn't match his personality. He looked at him carefully and said cautiously, "...Ares? Is it you? Have you been possessed? Or is it Eris?"

This iconic look is definitely Ares/Eris!

Ares's expression was annoyed for a moment, but he quickly suppressed his shyness and said, "What are you talking about? This is the first time we meet..."

At the same time, Lu Yi had already held Ares' hand, using his magic power to explore, and the hidden and familiar divine power quickly and intimately came up to him.

There's no doubt about it, it's Ares!

Lu Yi's expression suddenly became subtle.

Ares, whose hand was held by him, was still pretending to be shy, with redness from his cheeks to his earlobes.

Lu Yi's expression became even weirder. He thought, what else have they not done? With just one look from him, Ares could tell whether he wanted to be on top or bottom. How could he blush like this just by shaking hands?

What is this? Cosplay to add interest?

"If there is any special situation that you are not convenient to talk about, just shake your head to let me know it's you." Lu Yi asked tentatively.

"Ah? What are you talking about? I don't understand." Ares shook his head in confusion.

"Oh, I see." Lu Yi nodded in agreement, "My name is Lu Yi, what's your name?"

Ares' eyes were filled with smiles. "My name is Ares, and I'm an inconspicuous mermaid from the reef mermaid tribe. What about you? Where are you from? You are the most beautiful little mermaid I have ever seen."

"Reef Mermaids?" Lu Yi repeated.

"Yes, the reef mermaids, the largest gathering group of mermaids. Apart from the reef mermaids, I don't think I have seen any other mermaid groups..."

Lu Yi seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked, "Have you ever seen a mermaid who looks a bit like me? He also has blonde hair, blue eyes, and a blue tail. The color of his tail should be lighter than mine."

"The blonde hair, blue eyes, and blue fish tail that Lu Yi mentioned are all characteristics that only the royal family has." Ares said meaningfully.

"If you say so, then I am also a mermaid royal family?" Lu Yi joked.

Ares nodded seriously, "Yes, my dear little prince, perhaps my appearance here today is the guidance of the sea god to find the royal bloodline of the mermaid that has been lost."

Lu Yi suppressed the twitching of his mouth.

With the guidance of the Sea God, maybe the fall of the Sea God thousands of years ago was caused by him.

"Let's go." Lu Yi gestured, "It's time to take me 'home', my dear knight."

“It’s my honor.”

…

"Ah! An unfamiliar royal family!"

"Is he a royal? I've never seen him before..."

"That must be it! Only royals have blond hair and blue eyes. Look at his azure fish tail! His blood concentration is so high!"

"Yes, I feel like this blue is almost catching up with your Majesty." Even bluer than your Majesty!

"Strange, how could there be a royal family that I have never seen before? And why is his body transparent... Is he sick? Should we ask the priest to help him?"

The mermaids in groups of three or four looked at Lu Yi curiously and talked about the two of them.

"Why is he walking with that annoying guy? It will be bad luck if you get involved with that annoying guy!"

"The little mermaid that the sea god likes the most and the little mermaid that he hates the most." The mermaid pouted, "Is this the beauty and the beast that my mother mentioned?"

"He is so beautiful. I really want to walk with him and touch his beautiful tail..."

"Ah! You are a pervert..."

"Ah! Stop looking! The Royal Guards are coming!"

"They must be here to pick up this unknown royal family! Hurry up, these mermaid guards are very fierce!"

The groups of mermaids dispersed one after another, and Lu Yi and Ares were instantly exposed to the mermaid guards.

The sturdy mermaid captain at the head held a trident in his hand, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and veins bulging on the large muscles in his arms. He looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.

The mermaid guards rushed towards the two of them. The captain, who looked fierce, invited them respectfully: "Your Highness Lu Yi, His Majesty summons you. Please."

Lu Yi didn't want to go against the tide, so he nodded and followed the mermaid guards. However, Ares beside him was not allowed to go with them. Lu Yi looked at the mermaid captain in confusion.

The mermaid captain bowed slightly and explained: "His Majesty has only summoned you. If this little mermaid is your friend, you can ask him to wait for you somewhere."

Ares was blocked by two tall and strong mermaid soldiers, who looked at him with pitiful eyes.

It was rare for Lu Yi to see him being humiliated, so he suppressed his laughter and swam to his side, touched his head and said, "Just wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

In fact, he wanted to touch Ares's majestic black fish tail.

"Okay, I'll wait for you no matter how long it takes." Ares pouted.

-

Lu Yi was taken all the way to the palace area.

Unknown deep-sea stones are piled up into grand palaces. The stones, which should have been the hardest, are carved with the most mysterious and exquisite patterns. After years of immersion in sea water, they glow as warm and crystal as jade.

As they went deeper into the palace, more and more mermaid guards holding weapons appeared. They were like statues, standing still at their posts, indifferent to the progress of Lu Yi and his party. Only the surprise that flashed in their eyes from time to time revealed the restlessness in their hearts.

After passing through several tall gateposts, the guards slowed down and Lu Yi realized that they were almost there.

"Your Highness, please go in on your own and just keep walking forward."

The empty corridor connected to the extremely complex inner hall, and the thick door pillars that required three people to hug were carved with coiled dragons and precious shells.

The royal mermaid sitting high on the throne in the palace was gazing at him with her head tilted.

Lu Yi's mind turned, but he still said with perfect manners: "Your Majesty."

The mermaid etiquette he performed was not standard, and it seemed that he had just roughly imitated it after watching it once. However, it was precisely this mermaid etiquette with many loopholes that he made into a strange beauty, which was particularly pleasing to the eye.

Ed Clareline said with a smile: "Don't be so formal. Strictly speaking, you still have to call me cousin."

Lu Yi blinked, "Cousin?"

It's a questioning tone.

Ed nodded and explained patiently, "Your mother, Lena Claireline, is my father's sister. And I am more than ten years older than you, so it is reasonable for you to call me your cousin."

Your mother, Lena Klein.

Lu Yi, who had already guessed his true life experience, sighed.

Well, the biological brother becomes the cousin, and the cousin becomes the biological brother!
