The humpback whale jumped out of the water and began to dive at full speed, and the four people clung to its fins, for fear that it would be swept away by the huge current as soon as they let go.

As the depth of the dive increased, the surrounding light became darker and darker, the visibility became lower and lower, and I don't know how many meters I had dived, but in a dark blue, a beam of light suddenly appeared, and after passing through this beam, it was a bright sea.

In this bright sea, some mermaids ride on motormobile-like mounts and weave through the huge coral formations, while others ride on humpback whales or killer whales. In addition to the mermaid tribe, there are also a variety of strange-shaped deep-sea fish, which also shuttle among them.

The humpback whale led them to the tubular structure in the center of the giant coral colony: "This is it, go down by yourselves." ”

The four men let go of the humpback whale's fins and slowly floated down to a door full of totemic reliefs. The four of them were amazed that they could not feel the buoyancy of the sea and could walk on the seabed with their feet on the ground.

"How many of you are here to see the prince?" said a veiled female mermaid who was guarding the door, smiling gently.

"Yes!" Kaoru nodded.

"Come with me, the prince has been waiting for you in the hall for a long time. The female mermaid turned and pushed the door open.

"How did the prince know we were coming?" asked Kaoru inexplicably.

"......" the female mermaid bowed her head and said nothing, just blindly swimming forward.

The long corridor is lined with statues of different styles, ranging from Chinese Buddha heads to Western Davids. Behind the statue is a wall made of various porcelain and enamel fragments. Huai Xun was really confused, this merman prince's hobby was really peculiar.

Walk through the long corridor to the reception hall. The walls of the reception hall are completely different from those of the corridors, and they are all made of giant scallop shells.

In the center of the reception hall is a large specimen of a cross-section of a nautilus, a standard golden spiral section that shimmers with pearlescent light. However, there are some strange and nondescript bottles and cans on the partition of the specimens, and Huai Kaoru guesses that these are probably the collection of the merman prince, right?

Bypassing Peugeot's Nautilus, this is when you see the seat of the merman prince. The seats are made of whale bones, and there is a killer whale skull behind the backrest, which looks bluffing.

However, the prince, who was supposed to sit on his seat and wait for the reception, was nowhere to be seen.

"Prince, Prince Haolei?" the female mermaid who led the way called twice, but still did not reply.

"This prince is really, knowing that we are coming, but now he is still hiding and not seeing anyone......" Huai Xun and Yi Xixing complained.

"Ah...... My dear, you've finally come to see me!" As soon as Huai Xun's words fell, he was knocked away by the merman prince.

Because the merman prince moved too fast, Yi Xixing and the others didn't see anything clearly, so they knew that Huai Xun and the prince flew out together......

"Dear...... Honey, we're meeting for the first time, aren't we?" Kaoru Kaoru, who was knocked away, pushed away the prince who was lying on top of her.

"No, dear, we met 100 years ago," the merman prince affirmed.

"No, no, no, Your Highness, you are mistaken. Huai Xun thought for a while, not to mention nearly 100 years, that is, nearly 500 years, she has never left Jiulonggou for half a step, how could she know the merman prince.

"Prince Haolei, take a closer look, she is different from your beloved girl...... "The mermaid woman who led the way swam over and pulled Prince Haolei aside.

Huai Xun stood up, a little confused: "Hao Lei, Prince, my name is Huai Xun, and I am a demon clan in the Central Plains Continent of Shenzhou...... I guess we've never met, right?"

Hao Lei broke free from the leader, swam around Huai Xun a few times, up and down, carefully looked at him, and then swam back to his seat with an expressionless face.

"Ahem...... Forgive the king for his rudeness...... You are indeed somewhat similar to my lover, but after careful observation, I found that your ears are too pointy, right? Humans don't have such pointed ears! So, you must not be her......" Hao Lei said with great certainty, "Come on, give me a seat!"

Hao Lei gave an order, and a few female mermaids swam out from behind the shells, holding chairs woven with kelp, and respectfully placed the chairs behind Huai Xun and them.

"I'm sorry, my prince regularly commits lovesickness, and I ...... laugh," one of them apologized to Kaoru Huai with shame.

"Lovesickness, what's going on?"

"You'll know in a moment......" the female mermaid said helplessly, "let's be the ...... of the next person."

"Oh......" Kaoru nodded, no longer asking.

But looking at Kong Li's expression, he knew that he was very interested. Huai Xun patted Kong Li and motioned for him to converge with his eyes.

"Everyone has come from afar, and you have lost the distance to welcome Ha...... Prince Hao Lei took the lead in greeting, "I am the prince of the merman country, Hao Lei." ”

"I am Yi Xixing, the patriarch of the demon clan, this is my sister Huai Xun, and that is the only survivor of the Shenxing clan. The other is Kong Li, the guardian of our demon clan. Yi Xixing briefly introduced the four of them.

"She's your sister?Huai Xun?you don't look alike......" Prince Hao Lei looked left and right, and didn't think there was any similarity between them.

"It's like this, Your Royal Highness the Prince, we demon clans all call each other brother and sister or brother like this...... I was born later than him, so I called him my brother. Kaoru explained it roughly.

"What about him, how can this human being be with your demon clan?" Prince Haolei really had a lot of questions.

"Back to Your Highness, I am their guardian......" Kong Li replied respectfully.

"That's nice...... Humans can also be the guardians of the demon race. Prince Haolei cast an envious glance at Yi Xixing and them, "Why can't we have a human being in our shark clan to be our ......guardian? Hey......"

"What's the benefit of humans being guardians......" Huai Xun glanced at Kong Li.

"Hey, if I don't provide you with shelter, you're in a state of displacement right now, okay? "Don't you hurry up and thank me?" Kong Li retorted.

"Good, good, thank you. Kong Daxia!" Huai Xun perfunctory Kong Li.

"Hey, seeing that the two of you have such a good relationship, I think of me and my beloved ......" Prince Haolei began to sigh.

"Who has a good relationship with him?" Kong Li and Huai Xun denied in unison.

"It was a stormy ......night more than 100 years ago," Prince Hao Lei didn't seem to hear their denials, and began to talk to himself about the past, "A fishing boat sailed into the most dangerous atoll, of course, the danger is also relative to humans, and the mermaid race is not afraid of that side." ”

"And then?" asked the young man with interest.

"And then, a big wave overturned the thin fishing boat. Prince Hao Lei said, dancing with his hands, "At that time, I was training over there to fight against bad weather, and at the same time as the fishing boat capsized, a beautiful red-haired girl fell into the water with the moonlight. ”

"Prince...... The prince interrupted...... Isn't it wind and rain? Where did the moonlight come from?" said Kaoru couldn't understand his description.

"Eh, I said the storm?" asked the maids on either side.

The maids nodded, but immediately shook their heads again.

"Look, I didn't say that. He spread his hands, "Don't care about these small details, anyway, a beautiful woman fell into the sea with the moonlight." ”

"And then you picked her up, and then you rescued her, and then you fell in love with her, and then you found out that she actually had a fiancé, and then you were heartbroken and fell lovesick!"

"Ah Kao......" Yi Xixing glared at Huai Kaoru, "That's Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale...... Don't talk nonsense!"

"Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales, neither nor not...... I did save the redhead. But she doesn't have a fiancé, but we do fall in love......" As soon as Prince Hao Lei recalled this, his eyes began to empty, and the whole person was fluttering.
