Chapter 228: First Encounter with the Mermaid Prince
Chapter 228: First Encounter with the Mermaid Prince
Luo Ying covered the wound tightly. Although the pain was like a knife cutting, she still gritted her teeth and persisted, struggling to stand up. She sighed softly, and her tone revealed deep helplessness: "It is just as Lord Cangmo said, Lord Kunpeng is really stubborn. That's it. Sorry for bothering you today! Goodbye!"
Luo Ying turned around firmly. Although she was already staggering, her eyes were shining with an unyielding light. She resolutely walked out of Kunpeng God's solemn and cold palace and disappeared from his sight.
Luo Ying was seriously injured, but she persevered and supported her injured body, opened the Sea Tide Mirror, and looked for a route to the shore. She knew that her physical strength was like a candle in the wind, and she had to return to the shore and find Lord Cangmo to save her before her physical strength was exhausted, otherwise she would be buried at the bottom of the North Sea.
On the way back to the shore, fate seemed to play a joke on her. Ao Linghao, the third prince of the Dragon King, and his generals from the Dragon Palace appeared at this moment and blocked her way. Luo Ying was shocked and her face turned pale. In panic, she tried to hide behind the huge coral reef, but she was a little slow and was caught by Ao Linghao's sharp eyes.
Ao Linghao saw her pale face and bloodless lips. He was startled and hurriedly hugged her tightly, his tone full of tension and concern: "You are injured, who hurt you?"
Ao Linghao felt extremely distressed and picked up Luo Ying horizontally. He was eager to pick her up and return to Dragon Palace to treat her injuries. However, Luo Ying struggled and pushed him away with her last bit of strength, accidentally falling to the ground. She quickly adjusted her breathing, concentrated her mind, called on the spiritual power in her body, and performed a wonderful water wave illusion.
A clear stream of water gathered in her palm. As her mind turned, the water gradually transformed into ripples, and finally transformed into a group of graceful and beautiful fairies. These fairies surrounded Luo Ying, emitting a mysterious and charming light.
In this gorgeous fantasy, those picturesque fairies, with their beautiful faces and charming temperament, easily made the generals of the Dragon Palace fall into a deep obsession. They seemed to be firmly bound by the invisible charm and unable to extricate themselves. However, in this dream of flowers and brocade, Ao Linghao was not moved by the temptation of the outside world at all. He shuttled through the fantasy without distraction, looking for the familiar figure of Luo Ying. As if there was an invisible force guiding him, he was getting closer and closer to Luo Ying, and he was about to find himself.
Luo Ying remembered what Lord Cangmo had told him: "The Sea Tide Mirror has another function, which is to use the water surface in the mirror to summon raging waves and huge waves to attack the enemy. It can also fuse the holder's immortal power with the ocean element to enhance the user's water attack ability. It should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary, because the powerful attack power will instantly shatter the Sea Tide Mirror."
Luo Ying used the Sea Tide Mirror to summon raging waves and huge waves to attack Ao Linghao, but Ao Linghao was not afraid at all. He even smiled with a hint of contempt, and sneered: "Using this trick in front of my dragon clan is simply overestimating your own abilities." Before he finished speaking, he waved his palm lightly, and all the raging waves and huge waves summoned by Luo Ying were collected in his palm.
Luo Ying's heart tightened, and she felt unprecedented pressure. She had no choice but to make a desperate move and use all her strength to activate the Sea Tide Mirror. As the power burst out, the sea water around the mirror seemed to boil, and an unprecedented powerful energy was ready to be released. However, at this moment, the mirror suddenly made a sharp shattering sound, and then turned into countless fragments and scattered everywhere.
Luo Ying watched Ao Linghao approaching step by step, her voice trembling with fear: "Don't come over! Don't come over!"
Luo Ying hurriedly gathered all her spiritual power, muttering something, and then she waved her arms, drawing an elegant arc in the air. Suddenly, a stream of clear water gushed out from her palms, quickly condensing into a crystal clear, rippling water cave. Facing the approaching Ao Linghao, Luo Ying swam towards the water cave with all her strength.
Just when Ao Linghao was about to touch her, a dazzling white light suddenly broke through the darkness, and a white figure flashed by like lightning, and a fierce palm wind knocked Ao Linghao back.
Before Luo Ying could see the true face of the white figure, she felt a strong suction force pulling her into the azure water cave. She felt the space around her twist and was transferred to another underwater space by the azure water cave. She pulled herself together and found herself in a brand new underwater world, surrounded by colorful corals and swimming fish.
After extreme physical exhaustion, Luo Ying finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep coma.
When Luo Ying slowly opened his eyes, he found himself lying on a bed carefully carved from giant pearl shells. This bed was like a gift from the ocean, emitting a faint pearlescent glow, full of mystery and fantasy.
The bed is surrounded by aqua blue tulle curtains, which gently drape down like mist in the ocean, adding a bit of mystery and romance. These tulle curtains are dotted with sparkling pearls, which emit a charming luster under the light, as if the stars are twinkling on the seabed.
Luo Ying couldn't help but be attracted by this beautiful scene. Looking around, she couldn't help but marvel at this colorful world of coral reefs. Corals of various shapes and forms surrounded her, some like blooming flowers, some like lush trees, and some like strange marine creatures quietly waiting. The colors of these coral reefs are rich and varied, from deep blue to warm red, from soft pink to fresh green, as if all the colors on the palette of nature have gathered here to form a gorgeous underwater painting.
Luo Ying struggled to stand up, and at this moment, a breathtakingly handsome man quickly stepped forward and stretched out his strong arms to help her stand up steadily. His facial features were deep and three-dimensional, like a finely crafted work of art, and every inch of him exuded charming charm.
His chest was broad and solid, his muscles were smooth and powerful, and his eight abdominal muscles were clearly defined, as if they contained endless power. The mermaid line connecting his abdominal muscles was even more eye-catching, full of masculine power and unique temptation, which made Luo Ying's heart beat faster involuntarily.
What is even more eye-catching is his fish-shaped tail, which is unique to the mermaids. Under the light, it flashes with colorful light, as if lighting up the entire space.
His voice, like the low strings of a guitar in the night wind, was extremely magnetic and charming, and gently floated into Luo Ying's ears: "Are you awake?"
Luo Ying's sight was firmly locked by him. The two looked into each other's eyes. She looked into his deep and charming eyes, which were like the sapphire blue ocean color and attracted her deeply. She was intoxicated and lost her way. It was not until he coughed lightly that she woke up from her dream.
Luo Ying hurriedly turned her gaze away from his charming eyes, calmed herself down, and asked awkwardly, "Who are you?"
He showed a charming smile, that smile was like a spring breeze, with a bit of mystery and nobility, he slowly said: "I am the prince of the merman, Jiao Chengxuan"
Luo Ying's eyes were full of confusion. She continued to ask doubtfully: "Where is this?"
Jiao Chengxuan said gently: "This is my bedroom."
Luo Ying's heart suddenly tightened. She was a little flustered and stammered, "I...why am I in your bedroom?"
Jiao Chengxuan carefully helped her sit down. Noticing the panic and anxiety on her face, he immediately comforted her in an extremely gentle tone, "Don't be nervous. I won't do anything to you. You just fainted at the door of my bedroom, so I carried you in."
After hearing what Jiao Chengxuan said, Luo Ying felt as if something was blocking her throat, and she couldn't help but cough a few times. She muttered to herself, "The tide is rising in the sea, and the space is shifting. Why did I shift to the door of someone else's bedroom? If someone doesn't know, they would think I came to seduce them."
Luo Ying spoke uneasily, stammering awkwardly as he explained, "I...I...didn't mean to...faint at the door of your bedroom."
Jiao Chengxuan looked at her uneasy look, smiled and comforted her softly: "I know, this is fate, bringing you to me."
Luo Ying was so shocked by these sudden words that he was incoherent and couldn't speak clearly: "Um...what...I..."
Seeing Luo Ying's panic-stricken look, Jiao Chengxuan unconsciously raised a very gentle smile and comforted her softly, "Don't be so nervous, I don't mean anything else. You were seriously injured just now, and I have asked our tribe leader to use our mermaid tribe's treasure, the mermaid magic pearl, to heal you!"
Luo Ying hurriedly clasped his hands together, bowed respectfully, and said gratefully: "Thank you for saving me! I'll take my leave now!"
Jiao Chengxuan frowned slightly, and his tone revealed some concern: "Where are you going?"
Luo Ying replied: "I want to go back to the shore."
Jiao Chengxuan showed a puzzled look on his face. He asked doubtfully, "You are also from our mermaid tribe. Why do you want to go back to the shore?"
Facing Jiao Chengxuan's question, Luo Ying seemed a little embarrassed. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well... I..." While speaking, she seemed to be looking for a suitable explanation, but ultimately failed to find the right words.
Jiao Chengxuan asked with a hint of curiosity, "Why have I never seen you in our mermaid tribe?"
Luo Ying was a little nervous, his voice trembling slightly, and hesitantly said: "There are so many people in the mermaid tribe, how could His Royal Highness have seen them all?"
Jiao Chengxuan smiled slightly, and teased her with a hint of joking, "It's impossible that no one knows about a mermaid woman as outstanding as you!"
When Luo Ying heard this, her cheeks instantly flushed, like the first bloom of the morning glow, and she lowered her head shyly. When Jiao Chengxuan saw her shy look, his heart was instantly moved, and he felt pity for her. He asked in an extremely gentle voice: "What's your name?"
"Luo Ying" Luo Ying raised her head slightly, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes, and answered softly.
Jiao Chengxuan looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness: "It will take a lot of energy to go back to the shore. Your injuries haven't fully recovered yet. Don't rush to leave. Rest well today. I'll take you back to the shore tomorrow, okay?"
