Chapter 45: A Wonderful Gift
"Leo, are you sure this is your home?" Looking at the empty scene under the majestic arch, Carefree looked at Leo with disdain.
On the way there, Leo told her that although the Naga tribe was not few, it was not a few, and they were all very friendly and welcoming, and the commoners loved him very much as a prince, and as long as he called at the door, countless subjects would welcome him.
But the empty scene in front of him was obviously completely different from what Leo boasted.
Scratching his head a little embarrassed, Leo complained in his heart about those subjects who are not on the road, usually they will surround him when there is anything to do, but he didn't expect to drop the chain at the critical moment, and he lost such a big face when he brought his friends back for the first time.
Looking at the "you are really unreliable" expression with a worry-free expression, Leo explained embarrassedly: "Maybe I misremembered the time, today is my mother's birthday, and they must have all gone to the main hall to celebrate our mother's birthday!" ”
As he spoke, he dragged him to swim into the gate.
"Huh~~~?!" After passing through a huge stone door, Sanssouci couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
Because she found that there was a large water shelter array similar to the Nanfeng Emperor's Mausoleum in this stone gate, as soon as she entered the door, all the water was blocked, and she suddenly felt that her body was heavy, and then stepped on the stone slab, and the feeling of her feet landing on the ground made her slightly surprised.
After swimming on the bottom of the sea for a long time, she almost forgot the feeling of walking.
"Ha Luha, I was stunned by the formation set up by my mother!" Before worry-free could recreate this long-lost sense of steadiness, Prince Leo arrogantly introduced their water avoidance array.
Putting away the look of surprise on his face, he glanced at the smug Leo: "Let's go, can we leave after giving the gift?" ”
Leo's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded towards Carefree with a smile.
Looking at his strange eyes, Sanssouci suddenly felt bad, just now he had been immersed in the affairs of Graniwin, and now he realized that the prince didn't seem to have found a gift yet, and at this time, Leo's expression was understood by Sanssouci as a lack of heart.
"You can't forget about the gift, do you?" Carefree asked weakly.
"How could it be! Prince Ben is so wise and powerful, how could he forget such an important matter? As for the gifts, keep them secret for now! I think I've found the best gift! At this, Leo's teasing gaze suddenly deepened.
Hearing Leo say that he had been prepared, Carefree immediately cheered up, glanced at Ao as if he knew you, and began to look at the buildings of the Naga tribe in the deep sea.
Different from the deserted and bleak tomb of the South Wind Emperor, the Naga tribe has a little more vitality, and it is the breath of life here.
Unexpectedly, there were grass and trees all over the bottom of the sea, and the two seemed to be wandering in the forest.
Looking at the familiar vegetation, Carefree feels like returning to the sunset forest.
"Why is there so much vegetation on the bottom of the sea?" Sanssouci wondered in his heart, but he was relieved to think that Naga had once been a dark elf.
"Let's go, wait until you meet the queen mother, Prince Ben will take you for a good walk!"
Without giving Sanssouci a chance to admire this underwater tribe, Leo couldn't wait to pull Sanssouci to run into the depths of the forest.
Without turning a corner, the two of them ran straight to a palace made of magnificent giant trees.
Unlike the wooden houses that are randomly built on the side of the road, Sanssouci can tell at a glance that this must be the palace of the Naga tribe.
Different from the human palace, although the area of this building is large, but it is also very close to the earth, the gate of the palace is not like a human hanging plaque, but planted with two thick ancient trees, the dense branches, thick trunks in the feeling of high will also have a sense of intimacy.
"Let's go, the queen mother is in a hurry!"
Leo couldn't wait to pull Sanssouci inside, admiring the natural atmosphere of the building, and while Sanssouci was surprised why such a large building was empty.
The two came to the main hall unimpeded, but still did not see a single person.
"Hey, what's wrong today? Everyone's not there? Isn't it supposed to be in the temple of the Lord? Leo couldn't help but mutter.
Fortunately, Leo has never been reliable in Sanssouc's heart, so even if he is curious, he doesn't bother to talk about him anymore, just let him take him away.
"Prince, you're back! Queen, they're all in the square! Hurry up! A very flamboyant, long, woman said to Leo.
Like Leo, who has not changed into a human form, this woman is also a human snake tail, but her body is much thinner than Leo, her body is covered with fine scales, and her snake eyes are full of anxiety.
"Alright! All right! Isn't this prince back? I'm going to the square! ”
Without waiting for the Naga woman to say anything more, Leo disappeared once again with no worries.
Looking back at the Naga woman behind her, an inexplicable uneasiness rose from her heart.
However, after looking at Leo, who was still smirking beside him, he had to suppress the doubts in his heart.
The square is just behind the palace, where Queen Naga usually uses to review her troops.
At this time, the square was already densely packed with people, their expressions were a little solemn, and they looked at the stage in unison, as if they were waiting for something.
"It's the prince who is back!" A young Naga shouted.
His voice succeeded in drawing attention to Leo's body, and after seeing Leo's figure, everyone showed mixed expressions, happy and worried.
"Hey, how did the prince become human? Who's behind him? ”
Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of snake eyes, Rao couldn't help but shrink after seeing many big scenes.
Sensing the carefree abnormality, Leo smiled at her and said, "Don't be afraid, these are my subjects, they have no malice, they are just curious to look at you!" ”
With his head down, it didn't take long for Leo to take him to the high platform.
There were not many people on the stage, only three women, and as soon as they sat down, it was obvious that it was Queen Naga who was sitting.
"Queen Mother, I'm back!" Leo obediently walked in front of the beautiful woman.
In appearance, this queen is almost the same as the female Naga just now, but her noble temperament is indeed beyond the reach of the female Naga.
Seeing her son come forward, the queen did not speak, her expression was the same as that of her subjects, mixed with surprise and sorrow.
She had seen Carefree for a long time, and since Carefree appeared, her eyes were locked on Carefree.
This is the first time that the son has brought back a human, a girl disguised as a man.
Without feeling the strangeness of the atmosphere at all, Leo said aloud: "Happy birthday, Queen Mother!" You'll love my gift to you this year! ”
Speaking of which, Leo also pretended to be a mysterious meal.
Carefree was also very curious about what he would give, and couldn't help but look at him.
Leo smiled at her after making eye contact with Sanssouci and looked at Queen Naga seriously.
"I've brought back my future queen for you!"
As soon as these words came out, he was carefree, and there was a gasping sound at the scene.
As if the shock of disgust was not big enough, Leo smiled at the queen and said, "How is it, are you satisfied with this daughter-in-law?" ”
"No way!" Queen Naga and Sanssouci shouted in unison.
After the two spoke, they both looked at each other in surprise.
In the eyes of Queen Naga, how could this human woman refuse such an offer, after all, she knows the excellence of her son, and it can be seen from the resentful eyes of the female Naga below that her son's charm is not ordinary.
And carefree is surprised how Leo could say such a thing.
Seeing that his opinion was rejected by the two women he considered the most important, Leo's face was a little ugly.
For the first time, Sanssouci saw an expression other than happiness in his eyes, which was disappointment and sadness.
"For what?" A low boy sounded, and Leo at this time was like a little boy abandoned by his mother.
He didn't look carefree, just looked straight at Queen Naga.
"Humph! I'm your mother, I don't like her, I say no, I can't! Domineering words came from the mouth of the noble queen.
"But I like it!" Leo replied stubbornly.
"That's not going to work either!"
"For what?" Leo's eyes were full of stubbornness and loneliness.
In his opinion, it was expected that Carefree would reject him, but with his own charm, Carefree would like him sooner or later, but his mother's rejection was unacceptable to him.
Seeing her cheerful and sunny son with such a lonely expression for the first time, Queen Naga was also slightly surprised.
Her cold gaze stared straight at Wuwu, as if she blamed it all on this human woman who appeared out of thin air.
At this time, Wu Wu also recovered from the shock, raised his head, and looked back at Queen Naga without showing weakness, as if to say that I was also forced, and I want to blame you for this strange son.
Sensing his mother's gaze, Leo stepped in front of Carefree and successfully blocked the two from looking at each other.
"Do you know what you're doing?" The queen suddenly got up from the stool and looked at the two of them condescendingly, her voice becoming colder, and her anger could be seen in her slightly trembling tone.
"Zhilu Dao, I like her, I want to marry her and be my queen!" Leo argued.
"She's human, you're Naga, do you think there's love between you?" The queen sneered.
"So what, I just like him!"
"But does she like you?"
Leo, who was originally resolute, stagnated after hearing this, but still replied: "She doesn't like me now, it doesn't mean that she won't in the future!" ”
His voice grew lower and lower, because even he himself had no faith.
"Are you sure you want to marry her?"
Determine !!
"Then I'll kill her!"
"I'll die with her!"
After Leo shouted this sentence, he himself froze, did he die together? They had only known each other for two days, so why did they wish that it was themselves who died when they thought of her dying.
But after he said this, he suddenly realized in his heart that he was in love with this woman, and love at first sight may be what it feels like! Thinking of this, he held his carefree hand and tightened unconsciously.
Looking at the man who stood in front of her, arguing with her mother for her reason, it was a very touching scene, but there was only helplessness in Wuwu's heart.
I came to the deep sea just to find the mermaid tribe, who knew that I would be involved in such a dispute.
Breaking free of Leo's grip, he took a step sideways and came between the two.
"I don't think you have asked me how I feel!" Qing Qing cold words sounded.
For the first time, Queen Naga looked at this woman who dared to say such a thing on such an occasion.
