“Father,” Shi Ke called out worriedly.
"Don't come near me!" Shi Wu quickly stopped them, seeing the thick, dark green mist wrapping around his arm and the spreading burning sensation.
"This dense fog is too eerie; it causes terrifying damage to sea creatures. Even a little bit will severely injure them."
Ali looked at Ruan Xiyan and said, "Master, do you have any way to save them, to save my people?"
Ruan Xiyan comforted him, "Ali, I don't know if it will work, but I can only try my best."
The Glazed Demon Flame had a remarkable effect on that abyssal sea eel, perhaps because of its purifying power.
Let's first test whether the purifying power of the Glazed Demon Flame will have any effect on these strange, dense fogs.
She channeled the power within her body, and the flames of the Glazed Demon Flame in her hand shone even brighter.
She raised her hand and waved it out, sending the Glazed Demon Flame toward the thick, dark green fog.
The moment it encountered the dense fog, the fog dispersed like mice seeing a cat, trying to escape into the vast sea.
Since it was effective, why would Ruan Xiyan let the thick fog escape?
The Glazed Demon Flame danced wildly around them, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at the thick fog.
The thick fog was forced to the very center by the Glazed Demon Flame, and flames surrounded it from all sides.
"Destroy." As Ruan Xiyan finished speaking, the thick, dark green fog was completely purified, leaving not a trace of its original form.
At the same time, countless small flames separated from the Glazed Demon Flame.
The tiny flames burrowed into the bodies of the sea monsters rolling on the ground, purifying the thick fog that had invaded their bodies, and the burning pain gradually subsided.
Shi Wu felt the changes within his body, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes, the burning pain disappearing.
Ruan Xiyan put away the small flames, which then gathered back into the Glazed Demon Flame.
Shi Wu clasped his hands in a salute to Ruan Xiyan, saying, "I am Shi Wu. Thank you for saving my people. I will never forget this kindness. May I ask how you should address me?"
"My name is Ruan Xiyan."
Shi Wu glanced at A Li, then looked at Ruan Xiyan, "Miss Ruan is a friend of our princess?"
"Uncle Shi, this is my master. A lot has happened to me outside. I'll tell you all about it when I have time. Uncle Shi, where are my father and mother?"
“The Abyssal Sea Eels have been launching increasingly frequent attacks these days. I have been guarding this place. Your Majesty should be at the Koi Palace right now, overseeing the overall situation and discussing countermeasures with the elders,” Shi Wu replied.
"Since Your Highness went missing, His Majesty has been worried about you. If it weren't for the critical situation in the clan, His Majesty would have gone to look for you in person."
"If His Majesty knew that Your Highness had returned, he would be very happy, and a great weight would be lifted from his heart."
"Uncle Shi, I'm going to see my father first," A-Li said.
"Go quickly." Shi Wu waved his hand. "I still need to clean up the mess here, so I can't accompany Your Highness."
Shi Ke looked at A Li and said, "Li'er, I'll stay here to help my father."
"Okay, see you at Koi Palace after you've finished your business here."
A-Li led Ruan Xiyan and the others on their way to the Koi Palace.
At the entrance of the Koi Palace, there were many more sea beast guards than usual, and the patrols were becoming increasingly strict to prevent any spies from the abyssal sea eels from sneaking in.
It is clear that the situation is becoming increasingly serious.
Upon seeing the people who appeared, the guards immediately stopped them. "Who are you?"
“It’s me,” Ah Li said.
The guard stared at Ah Li for a long time before hesitantly saying, "Your Highness! Why have you turned back into your original form?"
Ah Li did not answer him, but said, "Take me to see my father."
The guard snapped out of his daze and quickly led the way, saying, "Your Highness, this way please."
Inside a beautiful palace made of crystal.
A middle-aged man wearing a red crown sat on a throne in the palace, talking with a group of elders below.
The door to the main hall was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Qin Zhu frowned and scolded, "Didn't we say that we are having a meeting and no one is allowed to disturb us?"
"Father."
You hear the voice before you see the person.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Qin Zhu froze and looked towards the door. "Li'er."
Ah Li quickly pounced into Qin Zhu's arms.
“It really is Father’s carp! Father thought he was hallucinating because he missed Carp so much.”
"Father, have I disturbed you?" A-Li asked.
"No."
Upon seeing that Ali had returned, Qin Zhu asked the clan elders to leave the palace first.
"Li'er, how did you get back?"
“I came back with Brother Shi, and we happened to run into Uncle Shi who was fighting. He stayed to help.”
"It seems that Ke has lived up to expectations and brought you back," Qin Zhu said with satisfaction.
"Li'er, what happened to you?" Qin Zhu noticed that A Li had turned into her original form.
Ah Li recounted the whole story to him from beginning to end.
Upon hearing this, Qin Zhu examined A Li's body and her expression turned grave. "His inner core is so severely damaged."
If it weren't for the presence of a strong life force within the inner core, it would have long since vanished.
Qin Zhu looked at Ruan Xiyan and said, "Thank you for taking care of Li'er, Miss. The life force in Li'er's body is also related to you, isn't it?"
Ruan Xiyan nodded. "That's all I can do."
"This is already a great favor to me. As a distinguished guest of our Koi Palace, if it weren't for the current critical situation, I would definitely have held a grand banquet to entertain Miss Ruan."
"Don't worry, Li'er, your father will make sure nothing happens to you and will definitely repair your inner core."
"Father, my inner core isn't the most important thing. What's the situation in the clan now?" Ali asked, looking at the worry between Qin Zhu's brows.
"We encountered the Abyssal Eel Clan who were fighting Uncle Shi on the way. They weren't this powerful before."
"And what is that thick, dark green fog they possess? If it weren't for my master's flames being able to suppress the fog, the Mermaid Army would have suffered heavy casualties."
"Miss Ruan can restrain those evil fog powers?" Qin Zhu looked at Ruan Xiyan in shock.
“Yes.” Glazed demonic flames appeared on Ruan Xiyan’s hand. “My flame power has a purifying effect, which is just right to purify the dense fog.”
Upon hearing Ruan Xiyan's admission, Qin Zhu's gaze became increasingly bright and intense, and she made no attempt to conceal her excitement.
"The power of purification, excellent! There's hope! The deep sea is saved."
Qin Zhu suddenly knelt down in front of Ruan Xiyan.
"What's wrong?" Ruan Xiyan was startled and tried to help him, but he stopped her.
“Miss Ruan, please let me finish speaking. Although it may be impolite of me to make this request, for the sake of the entire deep sea area, I implore you to take action and save this place.”
"As long as Miss Ruan is willing to help, I will agree to whatever conditions Miss Ruan proposes."
