Seeing that there were no mirrors in the room, she took out a full-length mirror from her ring and placed it in an empty spot.
The dress is dark blue with a few red koi fish as embellishments, exuding a deep and restrained elegance, yet also playful and cute charm.
Every pleat of the skirt is sewn with tiny round pearls.
The small pearl particles may not be worth much, but to be able to collect so many that are the same size and round is truly a testament to the effort put into it.
At first glance, the clothing appears quite high-class and elaborate, requiring an hour of assistance to put on and iron properly. In reality, however, it has been modified, with buttons inside, and simply requires a belt to be fastened after putting it on.
It seems he knew he was unkempt and specifically ordered Yu to simplify his appearance.
If he hadn't said anything, you wouldn't have guessed that the clothes were made of seaweed; they were silky smooth, soft, and very light.
Zhao Xi flicked her sleeves in front of the mirror, kicked her long train that trailed on the ground, and exclaimed in high spirits, "What a beautiful mermaid from the deep sea!"
Looking at my short, ear-length hair, I always feel like something's missing...
She took out a bright red wig and applied bright red rouge to her lips, which complemented the little red fish on her clothes.
She's being vain again.
"Hahaha~ What a spicy one... um?"
My head feels like it's been boiled...
-_-||
Never mind! As long as the clothes aren't cooked through!
The house is built in the style of the Wei and Jin dynasties, with three halls in the center, separated by sheer blue-green gauze. However, behind each wall is a magic array, making the halls appear shadowy.
The outer interior corridor is shaped like a U-shape, and the crystal walls of the corridor are decorated with pearls, scallops and conch shells, which are lovely and lead to the side rooms on both sides, but these rooms are now empty.
Walking barefoot on the sponge-woven carpet didn't feel cold at all; on the contrary, it felt comfortable and relaxed.
The lights were on in the back hall.
Zhao Xi tried to lift her skirt, walking hurriedly.
I lifted the curtain and went inside, only to be stunned by the view before me.
The three crystal walls offer views of the sea, but these views are not those outside the Crystal Palace; rather, they are views that drift around with the water spirits.
The coral reef anemones nestled together, and upon sensing the disturbance, they nimbly curled up into a ball.
The fish, now possessing spiritual power, occasionally emit shimmering waves of spiritual energy with their fins to hunt prey floating in the sea.
Two mantis shrimps were fighting, brandishing their pincers and vying for territory.
The water elemental energy passed through it and was dispersed, causing ripples to spread across the entire crystal wall.
They quickly reformed, swam past a sperm whale hanging vertically, and brushed off a few barnacles stuck to its body.
The vast sea is more vibrant than the stars.
I was completely captivated at first sight.
Is it pretty?
He came up behind her and pulled her into his arms.
"It's amazing! If this were a documentary, it would definitely get a full five stars on Douban!" Zhao Xi pointed to the whale that looked like a giant rock and asked curiously, "Is that a sperm whale? Is it practicing meditation?"
"It's sleeping."
Zhao Xi was shocked: "Why would it sleep upright in the sea?"
He said, "For comfort."
Zhao Xi turned around and looked at him, her face saying, "Are you just trying to fool me?"
He purified all the demonic energy, and his handsome face was illuminated by the blue water spirit, giving his fair skin a clean and mysterious feel.
His clear amber eyes gazed at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, a smile that was both languid and helpless.
"Okay, so what do you want to hear?"
Zhao Xi thought for a moment and said, "For example, there's air in the head, or something like gravity density."
He said softly, "Those may make sense, but they are not the principles of water, nor the way of water."
The deep, magnetic voice became soothing underwater.
It felt a bit lighter and more agile than on land.
What is the Way of Water?
Gravity? Tides? Ocean currents?
Or is it the diverse aquatic life?
The Earth Fairy can control every plant and tree in the Beast Garden, while the Wind Fairy uses the wind as her ears and her blade.
And what about him...?
He is the Water God, the Water King of the Celestial Realm, and water spirits exist everywhere in this world.
The one I knew before was just the tip of the iceberg.
He arrived late because she was standing far away.
And now, he is right in front of me, with his waters and his people.
From now on, you can find him simply by going out from the outer mountain of the Hundred Beasts Garden.
Or perhaps, every day when she opens her eyes, he will be the first person she sees.
Zhao Xi's heart pounded violently, and she held her breath.
The magnificent seascape is nothing compared to the sight before us.
I suddenly felt a sense of awe.
They were overjoyed.
She blinked and softly called, "A-Che."
"Um?"
She nestled against his chest, tilted her head back, and said admiringly, "You...you're so amazing!"
Behind the crystal wall, even the water spirits became lively, spinning around like missiles, disturbing countless sea fish and seaweed, forming a whirlwind in the seawater, and sweeping in several small fish.
Lin Che's ears turned red, and his amber eyes couldn't hide his amusement: "Well, I'm not just that good..."
Um?
The Water God can tell dirty jokes now?
Zhao Xi smiled, her eyes crinkling, but she frowned and glared at him.
His face turned completely red. He coughed lightly, covered half his face with his wide sleeve, and turned to run away to the low table.
He waved his hand casually.
Plates of sashimi were laid out on the low table, with thin slices of sea fish and shellfish glittering on the ice sculpture.
“Your people have presented us with fresh fish as tribute. I’ve heard that you have a tradition of eating them raw, cut them into bite-sized pieces. I know you’ve already eaten some, so have a few more bites while they’re still fresh.”
He tried to change the subject.
He clearly doesn't like her cooking his people, yet he's sending her fish to eat right now.
