Chapter Twenty-Three: The Underwater Palace

"Oh, I think it's good here. When I was not a sailor, I used to live in the basement, I was a tavern cook, I argued with the boss over a few copper coins, and I never dreamed that I would marry such a beautiful woman! What a blessing! Except, of course, that life is a little lonely. The old man named Pooh was so drunk with a bottle of wine that the smell of wine sprayed on Qing Chi's face.

Qing Chi wiped the saliva from his face in disgust. This is already the fourth. None of them, it seems, show any dissatisfaction with the merfolk, but rather praise them. The merfolk are brutal creatures, far from being so beautiful, and this seemingly harmonious island is more like an invisible cage.

Just as Qing Chi sighed, someone secretly greeted her: "Hey! This way. ”

It's the only youth, Booth. Booth glanced cautiously around, and quietly ushered Qingchi into the cabin. After making sure that there were no stalkers around the cabin, Booth clenched his fist and slammed his fist on the table: "You're an adventurer from the mainland, right?" If you can, please get me out of here! It's not a human life! Bet on the dignity of my knighthood, and I will surely destroy this evil race! ”

Qing Chi looked at his face with deep hatred and hatred, and asked in surprise, "Why is this?" Booth snorted coldly, "Not only is there no freedom here, but you also have to obey the arrangement of the patriarch, as long as you want to escape from here, you will be brutally tortured and killed." I've seen them kill a man and eat his flesh. I would never be associated with such a disgusting race! This is the greatest irony of all. Listen, adventurer, I have a poison here that can make the merfolk's magic ineffective, and they will not be able to move for a while, so we can only let us escape! ”

Qing Chi took the black poison bottle from his hand. Booth smirked, "I've finally waited for this opportunity. Just poison your dinner tonight. Come on, I've already smelled victory. Qing Chi frowned, a little uncomfortable with Booth's madness, and vaguely felt that something was wrong. But now there is no other way.

The dinner was held at the royal palace under the island. Each merfolk brought their husbands underwater. Mermaid Island has never been so lively as it is today, because this time it was the wedding of the patriarch, and the groom was naturally the handsome man who had just arrived. Booth took his mermaid wife's hand. Qing Chi turned his face and took a look, this mermaid named Ji Li was quite small and cute, with a blue fish tail below her waist, and a slightly bulging lower abdomen for Qing Chi to take a few more looks. Gilly obediently rested her head on Booth's shoulder, looking very affectionate.

At the first glance of the Mermaid Palace, Qing Chi opened his mouth slightly, and was shocked by this magnificent underwater palace for the first time. It turns out that her satin is from the hand of a mermaid! The brocade silk and ribbons woven by these mermaids in a gorgeous and intricate way flutter at the bottom of the sea, like the princess's dreamy gauze dress. The entire Mermaid King's Palace is coral red, with a huge pearl on top. The sunlight shone down from the sea and refracted onto the pearl, revealing a fiery red glow from top to bottom, blending with the blue water, like a two-color transparent crystal palace.

Some mermaids swam over one after another, their long golden hair was like seaweed in the sea, and several mermaids who looked like little girls glanced at Qing Chi curiously, and then looked at the men, grinning and laughing.

Qing Chi curled the corners of her lips slightly. It was Shirley who came to pick her up. Shirley opened the door for Qing Chi with her proud chest, and the banquet table in the palace was already full of dishes. Outside the palace, there is a light blue barrier separating the sea from the palace, which was specially laid by the mermaid patriarch to take care of the humans.

Red carpets and corals paved the floor. The blonde and blue-eyed mermaid patriarch sat on it wearing a red crown, Qing Chi couldn't help but admire, the mermaid clan is worthy of being famous for its beauty, this patriarch's beauty is probably even more beautiful than the former queen of the Eastern Continent, her every move has a noble temptation, and there are all kinds of amorous. Isn't this really a planned benefit for male gamers? Qing Chi smiled in his eyes and glanced at the drift who was sitting next to the patriarch.

Drifting Black sat there with a calm face, very puzzled. The moment he saw Qing Chi, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his eager, gentle, and deep gaze made Qing Chi's heart tremble, and he could barely hear his own heartbeat. Qing Chi's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head suddenly, but his wandering eyes never moved away for a moment.

Mermaid Patriarch Julie nodded with a smile. Booth raised his glass high, laughed, and deliberately threw it, attracting the attention of most people. Qing Chi quickly sprinkled the poison into the wine brought by the maid on the side.

Drifting had obviously noticed Qing Chi's movements, and silently recited a few incantations, and a faint black mist appeared all over his body. Qing Chi had already told him about the plan through personal messages before. As long as you take advantage of the chaos, you can leave together. Booth secretly built a small boat and hid it on the outskirts of the island.

When the banquet was carried out, the mermaid patriarch Julie raised her glass and drank the poisonous wine. At the same time, many mermaids also raised their glasses. After spending a long time with humans, they have abandoned their past customs and become more and more human-like, which is a good thing or a misfortune.

Suddenly, Julie screamed, grabbed her neck and fell to the ground, while the other merfolk screamed and became a mess. Qing Chi jumped forward with an arrow and grabbed the wandering hand.

At this moment, the gates of the palace burst open. A strange and hoarse laugh came in. The Siren Queen Medusa broke the protective shield of the Mermaid King's Palace, and a large amount of seawater rushed in in an instant.

Qing Chi quickly threw out the ribbon satin and wrapped it around the pillars of the main hall, and his other hand tightly pulled the drift, so as not to be washed away by the incoming seawater.

Medusa stretched out the letter in her mouth and shook her snake body, and the countless snake heads on her head also writhed, making Qing Chi feel chills when she saw it. Compared to this kraken, the mermaid patriarch is obviously much more beautiful.

Taking advantage of the moment when the mermaid was paralyzed, a group of krakens had already swarmed up and devoured the mermaid's body. Screams, severed limbs, and merfolk blood mingled, and the originally beautiful scales floated in the sea with blood.

"Is it a battle of natural enemies?" I've always been used to seeing bloody drifting, and I can't help frowning. Qing Chi was startled. She finally knew something was wrong! If Booth was really a knight who admired freedom, then why didn't he escape sooner when he had the poison, but waited until today? Unless, he's already in collusion with the Kraken.

I was actually put on a spot by NPC, this is the use of **naked! Qing Chi turned to Booth, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. "Hahahaha! You damn merfolk, I've been waiting for this day for a long time! Booth laughed maniacally and pushed his wife, Gilly, away.
