The young mermaid had only recently achieved adulthood and his body had not yet fully differentiated. The king was injured during his pregnancy, which resulted in him being physically weak and developing very slowly. He hadn't even grown the bony fins on his arms yet, and his upper body consisted only of smooth skin and flesh. His shoulders were not particularly strong, and his waist was so slender that it could be encircled with one hand. When his magnificent fish tail swayed in the sea, even passing schools of fish were attracted to it.
"We're almost there!"
Qi Qi stopped. He felt great in the water, his body gently enveloped by the ocean. Every part of his body felt comfortable, a feeling unlike that of a dog's fur.
Haiyan and Pearl, who had been following behind him, also stopped and looked at the small black dot in the distance: "They're here really fast. At this rate, if all goes well, they should be on the island by tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Maybe, if they can get across that reef tonight."
Qi Qi looked at the black dot with curiosity.
The reef area is very large, and people and boats unfamiliar with it can easily get lost, not to mention that the first danger of death awaits them at night.
This is also the source of the original owner's confidence in dealing with humans.
Qi Qi asked, "Did Mother say she would send people to Reef Bay tonight to deal with the humans?"
Pearl said, "No, the king said they have cannons on their ship, so we have to be careful. Qi, you can't act secretly, or the king will be unhappy!"
Qi Qi didn't really want to go either, but if he didn't follow the established persona, he would be the first to lose points.
"It's alright, just don't tell Mother. I want to see what humans look like, I'll go secretly."
Unable to persuade him otherwise, the three of them secretly swam to the rocky bay and waited for the big ship to pass by.
With low visibility at night and rising tides, they would definitely pass through here if they couldn't tell which way to go.
To avoid being captured and killed, Qi Qi found a secluded rock, completely shielded himself behind it, and lay there waiting for humans to come.
Urged on by him, Haiyan and Zhenzhu each found a hidden rock.
It was quite novel to see humans from this angle, especially since it was the Middle Ages and we were seeing foreigners from ancient times. Qi Qi curiously peeked out half of his head and watched the ship in the distance getting closer and closer. The huge sails were billowing in the wind, and an ancient symbol was painted on them. The ship looked very old and was made of wood, completely different from the ones he had seen on TV.
If you look any closer, you won't be able to see it. Although he is a merman, his eyesight is still normal.
Darkness can fall in an instant.
Tonight, many clouds drifted in and covered the moon, making it very dark. Visibility was okay on the boat, but the sea below was already dark.
Qi Qi watched as the ship drew closer and closer. There was light on the ship, but it was all blurry and he couldn't see anyone below.
People in the distance are also looking this way.
The sea area where the merfolk live is called the Sosia Sea. The sea stretches 2,000 meters from east to west, and its north-south span is twice that of the east-west span. The total area is more than 2 million square kilometers, and there are more than a dozen large and small countries in the surrounding western regions.
Among them, the Kingdom of Pargas, with its rich land and strong army, sat at the top of these forces, firmly holding the leading position and monopolizing half of the Sosia Sea.
The royal family of Pargas is named Alexander.
And at this moment, the owner of this incomparably magnificent galleon was also named Alexander.
A strikingly handsome young man with deep-set features stood high at the bow of the ship, facing the wind. He was very tall, with one hand gripping the side of the ship and the other holding an exquisitely crafted gold wine glass. The red wine inside was about to spill, but it remained elegantly held in his hand despite the ship's violent rocking.
"Your Highness! Would you like to come down from up here first? It's late and windy!"
Several servants on the deck not far away, clinging to the cover as the boat swayed, their faces filled with panic and fear, trembling as they watched the dashing prince atop the boat.
Louis-Alexander's handsome face was now flushed, clearly indicating that he had drunk quite a bit of wine. Fortunately, his eyes remained clear, though his emotions were running high. This slight intoxication only added to his dashing and carefree charm.
Looking at that faintly visible point rising from the sea, his face was filled with an arrogant smile of certainty:
"Neverland! Hahaha, it's nothing special! What's with all the talk of mystery? I found it anyway!"
The servants below, however, wore expressions of dismay, as if they were used to such sights.
I wondered to myself, how many times have I "found" this on the road already?
...
His Highness is the youngest in the royal family. He was born into the endless love of the King and Queen, his nine older brothers and five older sisters. Aristocratic character has always emphasized noble virtues, loyalty, courage, humility, politeness, justice, and so on.
Their little prince, on the other hand, is the opposite of all these admirable virtues. He is sincere, kind, honest, and generous, but the most important characteristic of this prince is that he is "too honest".
He possessed the most intelligent eyes and the most brilliant mind in the world, easily distinguishing between genuinely good people and hypocritical villains. Then, with his beautiful lips, he would ruthlessly expose them one by one, without caring about their status, position, or whether he would offend others or become the subject of public criticism.
He acted recklessly and had an extremely self-centered personality. Sometimes he was wicked, and other times he was very charming. Because of his handsome appearance, the king would always sigh and forgive his actions.
Now that he's 25 and still unmarried, he's finally being pressured to get married. In a fit of displeasure, the prince decides to take his friends and subordinates on another ocean adventure. This time, the noble adventurer is going to find the legendary "Ghost Island" and vows to take its treasures with him, so that everyone can see his bravery and wisdom.
