The Crystal Palace is located below the hot springs. Every time you come down, you first swim through a layer of warm water.
But now, the moment you step into the water, it's icy cold.
Even though the water spirit energy wouldn't harm her, Zhao Xi felt a chill run down her spine, and her hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.
She swam faster toward the Crystal Palace.
The bottom of the water was pitch black, visibility was poor, and the spiritual energy on the plants and fish had disappeared. They swam quickly past Zhao Xixiang, like pedestrians hurrying along a post-apocalyptic street with their necks hunched over.
She was a little scared and took out the glowing spirit stone.
The spiritual energy within the spirit stone quickly dissipated into the water, just like the wind extinguishing a candle flame.
Something's really wrong!
Was what we saw in the teahouse just an illusion? That cloud of steam appears at the appointed time, mimicking his appearance so that others can't see his true state.
Yes...
That must be it.
Lin Che safely brought her out of the Wind and Thunder Grassland, but no one knows whether the two fought another battle after Xingye absorbed all the fire spiritual energy from her body...
Walking in the dark on the seabed, my feet got tangled in the swaying seaweed.
Zhao Xi was anxious and almost pulled out a knife to cut it off, but quickly realized that the water plants might be the guardians of the Crystal Palace.
She then put away the knife, squatted on the seabed, and patiently unraveled it.
We've already wasted so many days, what's a little more delay?
The Crystal Palace's walls were tightly shut, its exterior resembling a giant egg sunk to the bottom of the sea. No fish entered or left, and the light was dim. Upon closer inspection, only a small seahorse, circling and patrolling, glowed within the indistinct crystal walls.
Zhao Xi tried to knock on the thick palace gate, but her voice couldn't penetrate. She took out a fire talisman from her ring and lit it.
The water elemental energy at the bottom of the sea weakened, but with her fire elemental energy present, a fire was actually lit in the water.
The little seahorse noticed the light and came to open the door for her.
It was a tiny ball, almost the size of Zhao Xixiang's finger.
It floated in the sea, tears streaming from its eyes, scattering a shimmering blue aura: "Waaah, Madam, you've finally come. Father God is mortally wounded..."
Zhao Xi's heart sank: "I'm sorry I'm late..."
"You're not injured, don't talk nonsense."
A small bubble floated leisurely in the water and burst around them.
It was Lin Che's voice.
His voice was low, but you couldn't tell he was weak.
The entire sea anemone in the Crystal Palace was at a standstill, and all the individual houses were suspended in mid-air with their doors and windows tightly closed.
Only her house was shining.
The doors and windows were open, and strings of bubbles floated out like breathing.
Zhao Xi wanted to swim into the house, so she walked further in and came to the back hall.
Lin Che sat on a huge blue anemone. There was no water in the room. The anemone's tentacles drooped down, and its concave part resembled a soft sofa.
He admired the sea view.
The wall was completely dark, the seawater was murky, and the light was dim. In the hazy light, some fish seemed to be swimming slowly, and their outlines looked rather fierce.
When he saw Zhao Xixiang, he raised his hand and patted the empty seat next to him, gesturing for her to sit down.
Zhao Xixiang had mixed feelings.
She was still angry and wanted to question him about the wedding, but she hadn't expected him to be injured for so many days.
Lacking confidence.
While I was hesitating, I had already reached the edge of the sea anemone.
The sea anemone was very soft, like a giant lump of jelly. She sank into it as soon as she sat down, and was forced to lean against Lin Che.
The outfit changed from dark blue back to pure white, and there were no decorations on the ears or neck; the face was completely bare.
She had taken off all the rings on her hands.
I looked at his profile again.
It was frighteningly white, with a faint blue tinge.
A few days ago, Zhao Xi saw that the crabs and lobsters raised in the spiritual spring had grown up. She wanted to take some out and steam them, but suddenly realized that the sea creatures had blue blood.
He blushed because he transformed into a human form in order to get closer to me.
He noticed her gaze, pulled her into his arms, pointed to the sea in front of them, and said softly, "Come and see the fish. This fish is quite fierce."
Every time I come, I just look at the fish...
Whether he was happy or angry, he stayed here quietly watching the fish.
With him in this state, Zhao Xi suddenly felt less awkward.
The seawater was so murky this time that it was impossible to see anything.
He waved his hand, directing the water elemental energy to move to the side. A strange-looking large fish appeared in the scene, its tail fin swaying as it pecked at a fleeing nautilus. Its head resembled a shield, and it didn't look like fish skin at all, but rather hard bone.
With its strange head tilted downwards, the nautilus sucked water into its large mouth, then closed its mouth and crushed the food into pieces.
They ate hesitantly, bringing up bits of food and scraps. Some of the meat was clearly from the last time; it was hard to tell whether they couldn't swallow it or vomited it up because they couldn't digest it.
No wonder the water was so murky. Zhao Xi thought that Lin Che couldn't even control the water spirit anymore, but it turned out that this strange fish just leaked its mouth when it ate.
Zhao Xi thought, "This fish looks so strange, could it be a demon?"
Lin Che: "This child was once the overlord of the sea, but he did not survive."
Zhao Xi wondered, "Was it wiped out by the demons?"
Lin Che: "...No."
He hesitated, then fell silent.
Zhao Xi blinked and looked up.
I suddenly realized I had killed the conversation.
Now things are really awkward again...
She coughed lightly and launched the first attack: "You actually hid here in seclusion all by yourself without telling me you were injured. How can I help you if you don't tell me?"
She can cook delicious food with a touch of magic, and she can also make soup. Even if she can't do anything else, at least she can keep him company.
However, she herself had been unconscious for a long time, so she never expected that Lin Che would recover even slower than her...
"Yes, it was my fault."
Lin Che was surprisingly compliant.
Zhao Xi blinked, raised her head, pushed away the hand that was around her, crossed her legs, and adopted the tone she used to intimidate the cubs in the Hundred Beasts Garden, and began to attack: "You're not only wrong here! You keep saying that I'm the Water God's wife, but why don't Pang Zhiyuan and Xingye admit it?! Are you lying to me? What exactly is your immortals' wedding ceremony like?"
Even though he no longer hugs her, the sea anemone is only this size, and the two of them are still close together.
It still doesn't have much of a deterrent effect.
As she spoke, she stood in front of him, looking down at him with disdain.
Lin Che's face showed some innocence: "I never said you were the Water God's wife. You are my wife, Lin Che's wife."
Zhao Xi tried to recall something, then was taken aback.
(?｀?Д?′)!!
No, there really isn't!
"If I am water and you are a human, are you going to give birth to a water monkey?" Lin Che pulled his feet into the sea anemone and stuffed his hands into his coat sleeves, the big guy curling up into a ball looking aggrieved. "Speaking of which, you were the one who made a lewd gesture towards me first. If you think the ceremony I arranged for you is not formal enough and insist on worshipping heaven and earth like in the mortal world, then we can do it again the way you like."
He turned his back to her, refusing to look at her.
Oh dear, why are you acting all wronged?!
