Lu Xuan couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw the door. He turned his head to look at the rockery, and estimated that even if there was something special inside, it would at most be enough for the two of them to stand inside, and they would be very close to each other.
Liu Tan stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone door. The white hand and the black stone door formed a strong visual contrast. Lu Xuan watched the stone door open little by little. The space inside was just as he expected. There was nothing inside. The only difference was that the ground was not flat, but a stone staircase extending downwards.
Lu Xuan was a little surprised: "Underground?"
Liu Tan nodded: "Yes!"
He led Lu Xuan down little by little. There were lit oil lamps on both sides of the stone steps, illuminating the entire passage very brightly, so there was no scary atmosphere even when walking underground.
At this moment, Lu Xuan's curiosity was almost uncontrollable. He really couldn't imagine what gift Liu Tan was going to give him.
However, as the two of them walked down, Lu Xuan felt the humidity getting heavier.
He calculated the distance they had traveled and asked, "Are we already inside the Qingguang Pond?"
Liu Tan turned to him and smiled, "That's right."
Lu Xuan suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask any more questions. He followed Liu Tan inside step by step.
After walking a few dozen steps, Lu Xuan saw another stone door at the end of the road.
Seeing the end, Liu Tan simply let Lu Xuan walk ahead and said, "You go open the door."
Lu Xuan looked at him with surprise in his eyes. He didn't refuse, but he also didn't let go of the hand he was holding.
Walking forward, when he reached the door, Lu Xuan placed his hand on the stone door and slowly pushed it open with a little force.
When he pushed halfway, he leaned in to take a look, then slightly widened his eyes and looked around, with a strange light in his eyes. For a moment, he even wondered if he had arrived in fairyland.
He pushed the door open completely and stood at the doorway without going in for a while. In front of him was a transparent room. Outside the room was clear water with a hint of green. Occasionally, traces of fish swimming by could be seen. Whenever a fish approached and swam away, the ripples it created would tell him that he was not mistaken.
Lu Xuan turned his head and looked behind him. The stone steps and the crystal-clear house formed a sharp contrast, as if he had suddenly stepped from the human world into a fairyland.
Liu Tan hugged his waist from behind, leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Why don't you go in? Are you looking stupid?"
Lu Xuan held his hand, feeling his own intense heartbeat. At that moment, he suddenly became tongue-tied, not knowing what to say. In the end, he only said, "Well, I was stunned."
Liu Tan pushed him inside from behind, saying as he walked, "Go in and take a look. What are you doing standing at the door?"
Lu Xuan followed his force and walked in. As soon as he stepped in, he felt the soles of his feet were a little soft. He lowered his head and found that it was actually grass. Not only grass, but also some small wild flowers of various colors that were blooming sporadically.
When he looked up again, he noticed that there were two food tables facing each other in the middle of the room. The tables were also transparent, and he could see the flowers blooming inside.
Not only that, there were actually some shorter trees inside the house, and he even heard birds singing.
It’s as if this room is a small world.
While observing, he walked to the transparent wall and touched it.
It felt smooth and cold to the touch. Lu Xuan asked, "Is this colored glass?"
Liu Tan said, "Just think of it as a kind of colored glaze."
Lu Xuan placed his hand on the glass and looked up to find that even the roof was made of glass in a pointed style. He could even vaguely see white roof beasts on it.
He stared blankly for a long moment before saying, "I once read in a book that the Dragon King's residence in the sea is said to be made of crystal, hence the name Crystal Palace. I've never seen the sea, and I couldn't imagine what a Crystal Palace would look like, until today... If there really is a Crystal Palace, I'm afraid it wouldn't look anything like this."
Liu Tan leaned over and hugged him: "Do you like it?"
Lu Xuan looked down at Liu Tan, reached out and cupped his face to show him how much he loved him.
After being apart for such a long time, Liu Tan also felt a little emotional. He put his arms around Lu Xuan's neck and responded to him with his passion.
If someone hadn't walked down the stone steps and made a noise, I'm afraid both of them would have been unable to control themselves.
When they separated, Lu Xuan stared at the red mark on Liu Tan's snow-white neck with a darkened look in his eyes. He took a deep breath, and although he was reluctant, he still resolutely helped Liu Tan to pack his clothes.
Liu Tan leaned against him for a long time, and only came back to his senses after a while. He turned around and asked, "What time is it?"
Miao Rui bowed and said, "Your Highness, it's time for lunch."
Liu Tan couldn't help but bite Lu Xuan's Adam's apple and said, "It's time to eat!"
Lu Xuan held down his rebellious hand and gave him a warning look before straightening his clothes to cover his body a little before sitting down opposite Liu Tan.
To be honest, when dining in such an environment, what you eat is not so important; what is more important is the atmosphere.
Liu Tan took two bites before suddenly remembering something and asking, "You... aren't afraid?"
He almost forgot that some people have thalassophobia. Although it is called thalassophobia, being underwater like this might also cause fear in others.
Lu Xuan looked up at the roof and said with a smile, "I was a little nervous just now, but I'm fine now."
Liu Tan still asked: "If you feel uncomfortable, we will go up immediately."
He remembered that the biggest symptom of deep-sea phobia was difficulty breathing, and he would subconsciously take deep breaths.
However... he and Lu Xuan had just kissed, so judging from the other person's breathing frequency didn't seem very accurate.
Lu Xuan looked at him with tender eyes: "Don't be afraid."
To be with you, he would be willing even if the house collapsed the next moment and they were buried together.
He swallowed the words back. The New Year hadn't ended yet, and it would be unlucky to say it out loud. The most important factor was that it sounded as if he didn't believe in Liu Tan's ability.
Liu Tan was relieved. After the two of them finished eating, they took away all the food and Liu Tan took him to the largest tree in the house.
Lu Xuan asked in surprise, "Swing?"
Liu Tan sat on the double swing, waved to him and said, "Come."
Lu Xuan sat beside him, and when the two of them exerted force, the swing slowly began to float.
Liu Tan leaned against him and said, "It's a pity that there aren't many fish species in the waters of the Northern Territory. If we were in the sea, there would be more beautiful fish and even corals."
After hearing this, Lu Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever seen the sea?"
Shit, I let it slip.
Liu Tan had never followed Liu Che on his tours, so of course he had never seen the sea. Even before he came here, Li Xi's previous fiefdom was inland, not on the coast.
He said calmly: "Father went to see it and told me when he came back."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "This is already very good."
He never dreamed that one day he would have such a house underwater. Water was too precious to them, the people from the Western Regions, and the underwater world seemed mysterious to them.
Seeing him staring outside without blinking, Liu Tan couldn't help but smile and said, "Do you think it's a little dark?"
Lu Xuan nodded. The room was not dark, after all, there was a light. However, the light from the pool outside was not very good. Even if the water was clear, he couldn't see much.
Liu Tan suddenly put his hands over his eyes and said, "Wait and see."
Lu Xuan sat there obediently, tilting his head: "Anything else?"
Liu Tan smiled without saying anything, then turned to look at Miao Rui.
After a long while, Lu Xuan finally felt Liu Tan's hands release him. He slowly opened his eyes and turned to look at Liu Tan.
When Liu Tan saw that he actually looked at him the first time, he couldn't help but said helplessly: "Look outside."
Lu Xuan followed his hand and looked outside the house.
He saw tiny specks of light gradually appearing in the water outside, swaying with the flow of the water.
When I looked more closely, I found that they were actually glass lanterns floating in the water.
