After everything was prepared on the mainland, the group planned to set off for the Endless Sea.
The Endless Sea is considered the source sea of the entire Noah continent. No one knows where the boundary of the Endless Sea is. All that is known is that in the direction from the continent to the Endless Sea, there is an island belonging to a dragon in the distance—Aig.
Moreover, the Endless Sea has always been guarded by sea beasts led by merfolk, and it has basically had little contact with the mainland.
If we just force our way in, it would be disrespectful to the merfolk, and besides, no one knows the way... which would be very awkward.
Quan Ji was able to reach Aiger from the Endless Sea in her previous life because of the rampage of the giant dragon Lankodos.
As for why she went berserk—it might be related to the revival of the Abyss from her previous life. Unfortunately, Quan Ji didn't live to see the moment the Abyss enveloped the world before she was killed by traitors due to her severe injuries and weakened strength.
But judging by the time, the dragon was about to go berserk.
Although I am now fully capable of suppressing it, there is no need for it.
The promise made in a past life to obtain the five dragon hearts will surely be fulfilled during this journey across the Endless Sea. The lost dragon race should also continue to strive for the flourishing of the continent of Noah.
...
Quan Ji, Jun Chenlan, Shen Wuyue, and An Wuying eventually headed to Wanghai City of the Xingyuan Empire, the largest intersection between the Noah Continent and the Endless Sea.
Quan Ji herself never expected that her visit to the Xingyuan Empire in this life would be for business.
Quan Ji's arrival naturally did not escape Jun Linjian's notice. Soon after, Jun Linjian personally brought the Empress of the Xingyuan Empire, Jun Chenlan's mother Xi Zhifei, to Wanghai City.
"Young Miss."
The two bowed to each other, and now, no matter who bowed, Princess Quan was entitled to receive it.
But these are Jun Chenlan's parents, her future in-laws, so she shouldn't be so dramatic.
"We're all family, don't be so polite."
The two of them immediately burst into laughter.
Jun Lin had met Quan Ji before, but this was the first time he had met Empress Xi Zhi.
She was also a peerless genius, a goddess among mortals, and looked to be no more than thirty years old. Her silver-white hair revealed the word "elegance" to the extreme, and her posture was also exceptionally graceful.
"I've heard about Miss for a long time, and I'm so glad to finally meet her today... Our Shen Lan has excellent taste."
Without a doubt, Xi Zhi was genuinely satisfied with Quan Ji as his daughter-in-law. After chatting casually for a few more minutes, they finally got down to business.
Jun Lin asked, "If I'm not mistaken... Miss is going to enter the Endless Sea, right?"
Quan Ji nodded. "Yes, we sensed the last three constellations of destiny in the Endless Sea. We guessed that they should be in the sea city of Atlantis, but... we don't have a precise route to get to Atlantis."
"As for the merfolk, we have not been able to make contact with them."
Quan Ji was actually very puzzled. They had tried various means to contact the merfolk on their way here, but in the end, they had no news at all, which was simply unbelievable.
Could it be that the entire merfolk have betrayed us?
That's not to be true... The relationship between the sea and the continent is such that even if the abyss traps the merfolk, it will have no effect.
Merfolk can live on land, that's true, but it would greatly reduce their strength. No one would choose such a thankless and difficult option.
Moreover, the merfolk are known for their unwavering principles; unless they are mind-controlled, they would never betray the Noah Continent.
"Miss, you don't need to worry about that."
Jun Lin glanced at Xi Zhi beside him.
Empress Xi smiled slightly at Quan Ji, and then her small, human ears suddenly grew larger, slowly growing blue scales that were exceptionally beautiful.
Princess Quan was shocked: "Your Majesty the Empress, are you a merman?"
Jun Linjian nodded: "Yes, but... in the past, Xi Zhi had already given up her identity as a mermaid in order to be with me. She does not have the ability to give birth, nor does she have the abilities of a mermaid."
Good heavens!
Quan Ji suddenly remembered that the Xingyuan Empire had a legend called "The Mermaid". It tells the story of a beautiful mermaid princess who, in order to pursue her love, gave up her identity and power as a mermaid, as well as her right to become a mother, to find the handsome prince who had saved her from the fishing net. In the end, after many hardships, the two finally got married. The prince became an emperor, and the princess became an empress, bringing blessings to all.
Surprisingly, this legend is actually true!
However, infertility?
Quan Ji frowned: "Then Jun Chenlan..."
Jun Chenlan himself was also completely bewildered: "Then who am I???"
Junlin saw He Xizhi and smiled slightly.
"He is a child sent from the stars."
The two spoke in unison.
Xi Zhi smiled and said, "Back then, I had already prepared myself mentally and planned to let Lin Jian take a concubine and have a child. But life is like a miracle, and accidents happen all the time... A meteor fell into my room and smashed it to pieces. Finally, we saw this child on the fallen meteor. In order to shut up more people, only a very few people know about this."
At this moment, Jun Linjian and Xi Zhi looked at Jun Chenlan tenderly again.
"It's like a miracle, Shen Lan is becoming more and more like us... Then, by chance, we discovered an even bigger miracle."
