Behind the palace, rows of small houses, also built of seashells, can be seen. From above, these houses are situated in the middle of a vast coral reef, covering an area of about a hundred miles in radius. The distribution of these seashell houses is irregular, and the paths between them are intermittent. One can often see a handsome man and woman with two horns walking among them. These human-like men and women all appear to be quite young, strong and vigorous, seemingly in the prime of their youth.
Liuli looked around at the seashell palace in front of her, and suddenly felt waves coming from the seawater above her head. She looked up curiously and saw that more than a dozen dragons, each about five or six feet long, were chasing and playing in the seawater more than a hundred feet above her, stirring up the seawater in waves.
Sheng Yang waved away the two young men who had been following him and led Liu Li and Li Molin into the palace made of seashells.
The palace's two large doors, each about a foot thick and made of various colored tridacna shells glued together, opened automatically to reveal a spacious hall. There were no supporting pillars in the hall, and it was unclear how the hall had been built.
In the center of the main hall stood a long table, about ten zhang long and a little over ten zhang wide. The entire table was made of white pearls, the smallest of which were no bigger than a baby's fist, glued together. Around the table were many chairs made of pearls as well. On the table in front of each chair was a set of tableware. The tableware consisted of chopsticks made of coral branches, bowls made of shallower shells, and wine glasses made of smaller and deeper shells, which looked particularly novel.
There was no water in the hall, so as soon as they entered, the water curtain that had enveloped Li Molin and Liuli quietly dispersed.
Sheng Yang turned around and smiled, "We are extremely grateful to you gentlemen for coming from afar to help us dragons. Please have a seat. I have had my people prepare some underwater delicacies. Please have a taste."
“Okay!” Liuli readily agreed and ran to the innermost part of the main hall, sitting down in the first chair on the left. After sitting down, she first touched the table, looked at the chair, and then picked up a seashell bowl and examined it repeatedly with a look of curiosity.
Li Molin walked slowly to her side and sat down next to her. Ji Jue and Lang Yuan walked to the right side of the long table and sat down, while Sheng Yang sat down in a chair at the end of the long table.
A short while later, more than a dozen beautiful dragon girls filed into the hall, bringing out plates of delicacies.
The food was served on platters of seashells, an extremely lavish feast of fish and meat, with all kinds of fish and all kinds of cooking methods. It was a delicious food completely different from that on land, which made Ahua's eyes grow brighter and brighter, while Liuli just found it amusing.
Next, the girls brought over jugs of fine wine, made from various fruits from the island. Because it was imbued with the spiritual energy of the Immortal Vine, the wine was exceptionally fragrant and delicious, and also carried spiritual energy. It would be beneficial to cultivators like Li Molin or demons like Liuli to drink it.
Liuli and Ahua, along with Ji Jue, beamed with joy upon seeing the table laden with delicious food. Sheng Yang enthusiastically invited Li Molin and the others to drink, and the atmosphere at the table became exceptionally lively with toasts and laughter. Ahua and Liuli even occasionally teamed up to snatch food from Ji Jue, prompting him to complain repeatedly.
The banquet finally ended an hour later. Sheng Yang suggested that Li Molin and Liuli rest in the seashell hut of the Jiaolong clan, but the two humans and three demons were not used to staying in the water for a long time. The novelty was fine for a while, but after a while they felt a bit suffocated. So after bidding farewell to Sheng Yang, Li Molin and Liuli left the seabed.
Li Molin, Liu Li, and the other two demons broke through the sea surface in succession and flew out of the water curtain. Several beams of light landed directly in the center of the island, in front of the Undying Vine.
Liuli appeared in a beam of white light. When she saw Yu Ke sitting alone by the pool waiting, her mischievous heart was stirred.
"Hey, Yu Ke, why are you here all alone?" Liu Li asked, leaning slightly forward while holding A Hua, knowing full well what was going on.
Yu Ke paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes, Miss is back."
Liuli's lips twitched a few times, trying to suppress a hint of schadenfreude, and she said with feigned regret, "Yu Ke, it's such a pity you didn't go to the Dragon Palace underwater. You don't know how beautiful the scenery is. There are so many kinds of fish that I've never seen before. And seashells, all kinds of colors... Hey, you've probably never seen a palace built with seashells, have you? Also, Grandpa Shengyang prepared so much delicious food for us, all made of fish, all kinds of fish, and even the bowls and chopsticks were made of seashells, so novel... Oh, and the wine, I've never tasted such delicious wine before, but I forgot to bring some back for you..."
As she spoke, Liuli could no longer hide the hint of schadenfreude on her face. She coughed and concluded with feigned regret, "Alas, Yu Ke, it's such a pity you didn't go."
"Yes." Yu Ke looked at Liu Li's gloating face with a wry smile. He stood up, bowed, and replied, "It's alright. You can just enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food."
Liuli had been eagerly anticipating seeing Yu Ke's expression of frustration and envy, but to her surprise, he seemed completely indifferent. Liuli immediately lost interest, her face darkening. She turned and went to the edge of the pond to squat down and look at the immortal vine.
"Heh..." Li Molin, who came over next, looked at Liuli's expression of wanting to show off but failing, and couldn't help but shake his head with amusement.
"Young Master is back." Yu Ke looked up at Li Molin and said in a low voice, "I just sent a message back using the Demon Feather Bird, telling the people to bring eighteen Demon God Banners and forty-nine Ghost Soldier Banners when they come over."
