The group continued to descend.

The once clear and ethereal blue seawater at the top was no longer visible; below it lay an increasingly dark and deep seabed.

The originally deep blue seawater thickened into a mass, turning into the most extreme black.

Even though Ling Miao and the others had already consumed the mermaid tears that the Queen had specially brought, they still couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when faced with this situation.

Oh my god, this dark seabed looks so scary!

I thought all the seas were the same blue as the ones above; this is terrifying...

[This gave me a thalassophobia!]

Me too, and I always feel a chill on my body.

[Oh my god, that's terrifying! Help!]

Indeed, we were never meant to be underwater.

[No, is the deep sea always like this? [frightened][frightened] JPG.]

[That scared me to death! I don't want to go underwater anymore. I'd rather play on the surface.]

[That's hilarious! We didn't even get a chance to go down there!]

As the dive deepened, the light around us dimmed, eventually turning us into a complete black mass.

Ling Miao shrank back, her movements becoming sluggish.

No one knew that she was actually very afraid of the dark.

The pitch-black darkness she was experiencing now was something she had never felt before.

My palms clenched into fists and became damp.

Ling Miao's movements slowed down, and just as she was about to stop, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

Ling Miao was startled and her whole body stiffened. In that instant, she thought of all her last words and countless terrifying demons and monsters flashed through her mind.

Finally, all I heard was a familiar, deep male voice in my ear.

"Follow me."

It is the General.

She felt a sense of relief, and then her body was involuntarily pulled by the other person, swimming in one direction.

In the pitch black environment, without sight, the sense of touch becomes extremely acute.

She could feel the other person's large hand gripping her clenched fist tightly. The palm was dry and broad, with fine lines and thick calluses on the knuckles, rubbing against her wrist.

A slight itch appeared on Ling Miao's palm, which slowly moved upwards and eventually disappeared.

She remained silent, unusually so, and obediently let the other person lead her.

Seeing Ling Miao's obedient demeanor, Cedrian couldn't help but smile.

The moment her thin lips curved into a slight smile, a ray of light shone through.

As we got closer, the light grew brighter and brighter, until finally, as if we were passing through a dark cave, we were instantly transported to another world.

The seabed here is completely different from the previous one. It is as bright as day, with clear, transparent blue waters where all kinds of aquatic creatures swim around.

Ling Miao's eyes widened, and she ignored the hand that was still being held in the other person's hand, wandering around to look at it.

This underwater world is exactly the same as the underwater world that humans imagined in anime from her previous life.

It's even more exquisite and beautiful, just like in the comics.

A completely pure underwater world, it's practically the legendary Atlantis.

Mermaid City!

So beautiful!

She also saw a small jellyfish.

His body was like a light, flowing veil, moving effortlessly through the seawater.

Its body was bulging round from the seawater, and it was a pale pink color when viewed up close.

Extremely active, several small tentacles jumped from one coral to another in an instant.

The coral mountains, composed of coral, stretch as far as the eye can see, endlessly. When the light shines on the coral mountains, it refracts into a variety of colors.

It's incredibly beautiful.

There were also many small, cute aquatic creatures that Ling Miao had never seen before swimming around.

A small, silvery-white fish swam past her.

The tiny, silvery-white shimmer immediately caught the eye.

Its pale body swayed from side to side, and Ling Miao couldn't help but reach out to touch it, but it twisted and turned and left her fingers.

"It's so beautiful."

"It's like a fairy tale world."

She murmured to herself, unable to resist speaking her mind.

"Isn't it beautiful?"

A boastful and arrogant voice came from beside him. Samuel crossed his arms, looked up at everyone with pride.

"So don't blame me for looking down on your tourist attractions."

"Except for a few exceptions, none of them are as nice as my own home."

"They're all so ugly."

Ling Miao was a little speechless, but still nodded honestly, "It's really good-looking."

As they were talking, a small silver fish was presented to her. Ling Miao looked up in surprise, following the owner of the hands, and met Cedrian's face.

"I can see you really like it."

Ling Miao felt a sudden flush on her face for no apparent reason. She lowered her eyelashes and said, "Thank you."

Then, he reached out and gently touched the small silver fish with his finger.

The other person was initially caught and somewhat panicked when trapped in Cedrian's palm, but seeing that there was no danger, he leisurely began to swim around in Cedrian's palm again.

The space wasn't large, but it still swam around happily.

Ling Miao touched its body and was immediately delighted, "It's soft and slippery."

The scales on its body shimmered and sparkled, standing out starkly against the deep blue seabed, and even refracting iridescent light from certain angles.

"You like scales?"

"Um?"

Ling Miao didn't hear clearly, but she nodded subconsciously. After realizing what was happening, she looked up at the other person with a blank expression.

Cedrian seemed lost in thought, his eyes glazed over, and he stood there, stunned.

Seeing this, Ling Miao continued to lower her head, playing with the small fish until it completely lost interest and stopped swimming. Only then did she ask Cedrian to release his grip.

The little fish swam away happily, unable to wait any longer.

Do you like... black scales?

Seeing the small fish swim away, Ling Miao looked away and was about to turn her head when she heard a strange question from the other party.

She looked up and saw that Cedrian's face was tense, his lips were pursed, and he looked completely lost.

Although the question was a bit strange, Ling Miao answered honestly.

"As long as it looks good."

She actually prefers furry things.

It feels so comfortable to hold the furry texture in your palm.

But she is also a sucker for good looks; she likes anything that looks good.

Therefore, there are no hard and fast standards.

Hearing her words, the other person seemed a little embarrassed. He lowered his head, and the stray hairs by his ears could not cover his slightly red ear tips.

Cedrian's fingers unconsciously touched his wrist, which was covered by his sleeve.

The moment the fingers touched the cuff, they rubbed against it, revealing a faint, cool, black sheen.

"Does she...like you?"

As if answering its own question, the black light on its wrist flashed briefly before disappearing beneath its skin, leaving no trace.

He looked up at Ling Miao's departing figure, pursed his lips, and followed after her.
