Chapter 50: The Excited Mermaid Grandmother

"Ariel, do you plan to go to the shore and drink the potion now?" Aurora asked the mermaid princess swimming in front.

"There are still several hours before the sun rises. Please wait a little longer." Ariel's tone was slightly sad. "I want to take one last look at my father's palace and my sisters' garden."

The mermaid princess knew that once she grew legs, she would probably never have the chance to return to her father, grandmother and sisters.

Next, she will face a severe challenge alone - if she fails to win the prince's love, the curse will still tear her heart apart and make her melt into sea foam.

"Okay, parting is always sad. Take another look at the palace and the garden." Rhine agreed. "We will follow you, watch you from afar and bless you."

The big lantern fish that Ariel and her two friends were riding on swam for a while longer.

The palace of the Sea King appeared before them.

When the mermaid princess left, there was still a grand party going on in the palace and the lights were on.

When she came back, the lights at the ball had gone out.

The Sea King's Palace is like a sleeping giant, lying quietly in the deep blue water. It is magnificent, solemn and silent.

"Father and my sister may have already fallen asleep."

The mermaid princess Ariel didn't dare to disturb them and swam quietly into her sisters' garden.

She wanted to pick a few flowers from the blooming flower bed and then leave quietly.

"My little princess, I finally found you!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

Ariel turned around and saw her grandmother, whose body was adorned with countless pearls and shells.

She led a large group of mermaid maids and looked extremely panicked, but she was immediately overjoyed when she saw Ariel.

"Oh my goodness! My beautiful Princess! I heard that you went to the terrible coral forest to see the ugly old witch! How could you do such a foolish thing?"

The old grandmother was terrified. She came to her granddaughter and moved her eyes from the mermaid princess's beautiful tail to her beautiful long hair. Only after she confirmed that nothing was missing from her granddaughter's body did she feel relieved.

The old mermaid was so excited that she didn't even notice that above her head there was a large lantern fish with a transparent belly, with two humans inside.

"Why would you go to see the sea witch? In the sea kingdom, all mermaid children grew up listening to the evil stories of this old witch. They know how terrible she is, and asking her to fulfill their wishes will never end well!"

The grandmother held the mermaid princess's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that her granddaughter would run away: "You should have seen that sea witch, right? But don't make a deal with that witch! You will definitely pay a very heavy price."

"Don't worry, my grandma." The mermaid princess also held her grandma's hand, "I'm fine."

The old grandmother patted her chest and finally let go of her worries.

"Fortunately, fortunately, nothing happened to you, my little princess.

"It seems that you didn't find the old witch. She is always elusive and may not be at home. And it is not easy to find her bone house in the labyrinth of coral forest.

"It's a blessing that you didn't find her. It's a blessing, a blessing!"

The grandmother guessed that the little princess was frightened by the sight of the strange and deformed coral forest and the white bones hanging from the coral trees. She ran back home without encountering the old witch!

"Don't go there again, my little princess. There is no wish in this sea that your father and I can't help you realize."

The old grandmother stroked Ariel's hair, and the mermaid's hair became as soft as sea water.

"No, grandma. I found the sea hag. I talked to her a lot," Ariel said. "She is not as scary as the legend says."

The mermaid's words frightened the grandmother so much that she almost shook off the oyster decoration on her tail:

"No way, my little princess. Did the old witch make you pay any price? Did she hurt you?"

Ariel smiled: "It should have been. But I didn't make a deal with the sea hag in the end. A kind human friend helped me. He is a kind magician who is willing to fulfill my wish without charging any price."

Ariel did not elaborate on the specific content of her wish.

That should be a challenge she faces alone.

"Human friends?" The grandmother was stunned.

How could mermen become friends with humans? Such a thing had never been heard of in the history of the Sea Kingdom! "Look, there they are!"

The mermaid princess pointed behind her grandmother.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The big fish swam over, swaying its body, and inside its transparent belly were two human children, a silver-haired boy and a blonde girl.

"You...you are the two humans who came to the Sea Kingdom according to rumors. It is said to be a human scholar and his servant."

The old grandmother suddenly remembered the rumor she had just heard and was stunned:

"You are Ariel's human friends?"

Rhine nodded slightly and greeted the Queen Mother of the Sea Kingdom.

"No matter what, since you have helped Ariel, you are my friends and honored guests of the Deep Sea Palace! From now on, as long as you step into this sea, the Sea Kingdom welcomes you!" The grandmother announced, "This is what I say in the name of the Queen Mother, and it will always be valid."

Several maids who followed the grandmother to find the mermaid princess heard this and whispered, "Didn't the Queen Mother always believe that the worlds of mermaids and humans should be separated forever and should never intersect?"

"Yes, just now in the palace, she was objecting to His Majesty the Sea King summoning these two humans!"

"That's normal. But don't you know? The Queen Mother has always doted on the mermaid princesses, especially Her Highness Ariel, who is the apple of her eye!"

"Yes. The old lady usually has a stern face and is so serious, but when she mentions Her Highness Ariel, her demeanor changes."

“…”

The old grandmother smiled and invited Rhine and Aurora: "My two friends, isn't this a coincidence? I heard that my son, the king of this sea, wants to invite you to his palace.

"It's too late now. Wait until the sun rises tomorrow and the warm sunlight shines into the sea, illuminating this magnificent palace, then you can come back here.

"I will personally take you to be my guest!"
